in the Australian tour, and il is al
most certain that the Americans will
win the lions share of these big purses
The Australian promoters are the j.
D. Williams Amusement Company and
they are incorporated for $1,000, 900. All
gust Holcher, who ran the six-day race
In Berlin, is the European promoter,
who will handle the European end of
the tour. The riders are very en-
thusiastic over the trip and they are
all very ANXIOUS to have Kramer sign
up. The champion would naturally
prove a big drawing card in both Ger
many and Australia, and his appear
ance would materially aid the pro-
motors In making the venture a finan-
cial success. If the tour is a success
1t will probably become an annual
affair.
In discussing the trip today, Mac
Farland said: This is going to be
a big thing for the boys, and they are
going to get a lot of money. 1t Is the
biggest deal pulled off since l have
been in the game. / am sure that the
Australian promoters. who are putting
up big moneys will make a success of
the six-day races, and with Kramer
and Taylor riding against Clarke,
Goullet, Hehir and the local Australians
there will be a revival of the outdoor
game there that will place cycle rae
ing where 1t was ten years ago in the
Antipodes.
They have never seen a six-day race
over there, and I am sure that the two
races at sydney and Melbourne will be
big winners for the promoters. | am
pleased to get Taylor In the game
again. His declaration to ride here at
the worlds championships next year
will adj great interest to the running
of those events. The negro rider will
be going good, too, after the season in
Australia and should show his old
time form.
"They are very anxious to see him In
Australia. l got a long cable message
from w. A. Stanton, president of the
Federal Cycling Council Of Australia,
urging ME TO get Taylor and stating
that the Williams Amusement Com
pany was @. *. financially and would
stand back of all contracts made by
me.
"They also want to see Kramer very
badly. too, and l think / will succeed
in getting the champions signature to
a contract in a few days. I have got
his price and 1t is high, so | have
cabled for an o. K. before I go ahead
and close the contract with Kramer -

TODAY'S GAMES
CALLED Off ON
ACCOUNT OF RAIN
This Makes Three Postponed
Contests Royals Have with the
Tigers, Whose Rain "HoOdOo'
the Canucks Have Been This
Year.

Next to Jersey City the Montreal
Royals seem to be the rain hoodoos for
Newark this year. During the first Sc
ries. the Royals and the Tigers had
two postponements here, including the
opening day game, which was to have
been decided in yesterdays double
header, but the rain-maker butted in
yesterday, and there should not have
been even one game played.
A steady rain which started early this
morning caused the postponement of
both games of the double-header which
had been arranged for today.
The Royals are quartered in New
York, and will open a series in Jersey
City tomorrow. Manager McGinnity
notified them by telephone this morn
ing that there was no chance for o.
game. These two teams now have
three postponements here.
With everything breaking bad, in
Guiding Joe McGinnity's curves, the
Tigers struggled in vain to down the
Montreal Royals yesterday and were
beaten by 6 to 2. Another youngster,

first on an error, besides relieving two

the sufferers In the seventh, when he
pulled down two line drives after long
runs in deep right.
A pass to Harry Bailey, the Tiger
outf1elder, a pair of sacrifice hits and
Dalton's single put Newark in front
by one run in the first inning, but this

after the finish of the New York six
day race in December Floyd MacFar-
land, Jackie Clarke, Iver Lawson, Joe
Fogler, Eddie Root, AL Goullet, Paddy
OSullivan Hehir, Elmer Collins, Jimmy
Moran and Willie Fem will leave for
Berlin, where the first race on the
worlds tour will take place, Christmas

The race will be a six-day affair, and
after the contest in the German capt.

Will remain until Its close, returning
here about the first of May, 1912, for
the season here IN Newark and New
England.
This is the biggest trip ever planned
for the riders, and they have been
guaranteed a handsome sum. Signing
up the riders and making all the ar
rangements have Deer placed in the
hands of Floyd Mcfarland, who is
the American representative of the
European and the Australian promot-
ers. MacFarland has practically COM
pleted arrangements to take Major
Taylor. the famous colored rider, to
Australia. Mac was in communication
with the Major over the telephone
yesterday, and the latter accepted the
terms offered. Taylor stated that he
would ride here at the close of his Aus
tralian engagement. and would be a
starter in the worlds championship,
The Australian promoters are very
anxious to secure Frank Kramer and
have made the American champion a
big offer. but the peerless one Is hold
ing out for more money. Mcfarland
seems confident that the promoters
will meet Kramer's terms.
All of the riders should return to this
country with a fat bank roll, for in
the three six-day races there will be
S42. 600 hung up. The Berlin race is
worth 1921 00. and each of the Austria
liam races is worth SIS, 900. The Sydney
Thousand is to be revived, and this
rsee is worth s.. 900. Then there are
many other rich purses to be hung up

THIS WEEKS BOXING
STAR In new YORK

Always a good drawing care wher-
ever he appears, Sam Langford is ex-
pected to pull out all the members of
the National Sporting Club next Thurs
day night when he takes on Jack Fitz-
gerald. Langford has not been seen
here in a long time. but he is the same
great fighter. Fitzgerald, however, is
a pretty hard nut to crack. Four
times in succession he got a decision
over Jim Smith. who was said to be
the only man in the country likely to
whip Langford,
GTed' Nelson, the Australian cham
pion, who is to meet Sailor Burke
before the Twentieth Century A. c.
Friday night, has received an offer
from London boxing promoters to meet
yrn Sullivan. the English champion,
in the event of his scoring a victory
over Burke. Burke has accepted the
clubs offer to meet Philadelphia JACK
O'Brien. and as Nelson has also agreed
to meet the shifty Quaker, If he lowers
the colors of the sturdy, hard-hittlne
tar from Brooklyn, an aggressive,
hard hitting contest is sure to result.
Billy Allen, the former amateur well
terweight champion, who put up such
a sensational bout at the Natlonal
Sporting Club last Thursday night, has
been secured by Bill Brown to meet
Mike Aselta in one of the preliminaries

EX-BALL PLAYER LEADS
1000 TO CONVERSION,

ERIE, Pa. June 26.-As a result of
series of evangelistic meetings being
conducted here by the Rev. Billy
Sunday. a former baseball player, more
thar 1000 persons have been converted,
200 of the conversions occurring during
a service which started Saturday night
and ended at 3 o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
For three hours following the
meeting over 300 men, who attended
the meeting remained in the church
praying for the success of the cam
paign against sin. Following the
prayer service they marched into the
Tenderloin district. where they sang
Gospel songs in the streets for two
hours.
His text for last night was Booze"
and 1000 men crowded into the church
to hear him.

VOWINKLE'S Arm
ROUNDING INTO
SHAPE AT LAST
Former Bison Twirler Real
Baseball Lowered Mann
Internationally Released.

Rip Vowinkle. the Oswego pill dis
is to sell pills and other drugs up in
his New York State town, is rapidly
rounding into shape.
vowinkle says he caught cold early
in the season in his pitching wing and
the arm is now coming around nicely.
rip whose real name is John, has
been in the Eastern League for -four
years.
He was sent to Buffalo by Scout
Larry Sutton when Stallings was at
the helm of the Bison Club and imme-
diately made good.
He vas drafted by Cincinnati before
going to Buffalo and given a trial, but
was turned back, and he seriously con-
sidered dropping out of baseball to
follow his business as a druggist.
Larry Sutton induced him to go to
Buffalo, and he made good there until
this spring. A player sometimes gets
tired of playing in the one town all
the time, and Vowinkle welcomed the
change.
He says that in another week he will
be ready to take his turn regularly
in the box for the Tigers. Vowinkle is
a glutton for work. He is one of the
first to report at the park for the morn
ing practise, and he generally pitches
all morning to the Tiger batsmen
When the regulars take the field fol
some defensive work he bats them to
the inield, and in the afternoon he is
one of the first to don his buds again
Hitting to the infield is a science
which few players accomplish.
Any professional player will tell you
that there is a vast difference between
knocking flies for the outielders to
chase and giving the infielders bound
ers, grounders and asshoppers. Vo-
Wrinkle plays the game because he likes
it and not only for the monetary in
~ducenents.

Jack Kelly, the veteran Tiger left
fielder, says that the job of left fielder
in the Easter. League grows more diff
fcult every year, because Of the adj
dition of one more sun field each year.
1t is practically impossible to lay a
good sized baseball field III without
having one of the felders suffer from
the rays of the u when Old Sol is
on the job.
The changes in the playing fields at
Newark and Baltimore have added two
more sunfields to the Eastern League
ball parks. The others are at Provi-
dence, Buffalo. Rochester and Jersey
City. In Montreal it is not SO bad,
and in Toronto the right fielder a a
tough time of it fighting both the sun
and the wind.

WOULD PROTEST A

Latter Would Have Contest with
Leafs Delayed for Rain
Thrown Out.

John Camel and Joe Kelley, man
ayers Of the Rochester and Toronto
teams, respectively, are seriously con-
sidering a plan to enter a protest
against the umpires in last Fridays
games.
The Leafs were playing here and had
the Tigers 3 to 0 and the game would
have beer theirs if they had retired
one more Tiger in the fifth, but the
rain came down and the game was
called.
Kelley claims that the umpires al
lowed the Tigers to make a burlesque
out of it, and their dilatory tactics
enabled them to make 1t mo game
when the two teams could have played
another full inning.
