TRADE DENT TO
 WASHINGTON CLUB
HIGHLANDERS GIVE FORMER NEW HAVEN PITCHER AND WELCHONCE FOR CATCH
 FER RONDEAU.

Cincinnati, Sept. 18 = President Frank Farrell of the New York High flanders announced yesterday he had put through a deal with Washington by which his club procures Catcher Harry Rondeau of the Jersey City team of the international League. Rondeau was allotted to Washing ton fifth of the Senators Is so well fortified with catchers that he has no use for this youngster.
 Griffith, however. is on the lookout for pitchers and outfielders,, and was disappoin ted when he failed to. land CTS out, of the draft-net. Frank Far rel1, on the other hand, received sew era1 players. he was not particularly anxious about, and turned them over to Griffith. For surrendering Rondeau, Farrell gave up his claims to Outfie1d- Dent of Newark. Both7 these players were up in the fast set before. The Phillies took Welchonce south for three straight years, but he never last ed season. Dent pitched for the Brooklyns early this season
 Farrell considers himself fortunate in getting Rondeau, who is, one of the best catchers M the International League. By some he is thought to be better than Wells, the other Jersey in bids at yesterdays draft. Rondeau's usefulness does not end with his abil- ity to catch, as he can play almost any position, and is as much at home in the outfield as he is behind the bat. Rondeau was with. Providence last a song. However, he, has improved greatly this year, and is said to be. ready for a career in the big leagues. He is a splendid batter.

MIKE FINN MADE GREAT
 SHOWING DOWN IN MOBILE

Mike Finn has just pulled off an other. successful season, financially. He took the tail end Mobile club in the Southern League, which closed it's sea- son Sunday, and finishing in second place this year, reaping substantial profits for himself and the owners of the club. Finn, it will be remembered was the last man who made baseball look like baseball in Waterbury. This year he has had his club up fighting all the time and had a chance for the pennant up to few days ago, when he had failed to overcome Birning- hams lead and the latter logged down the stretch an easy winner.
 Mike is undecided as to whether he will be in the Southern League next season. He has spent most of his baseball career in that circuit and it is said club owners are anxious to have him stay. There is said to be a movement on foot to have him man age the Atlanta club next season At 1anta had a very poor year under Charley Hamphil1, the former big lea que player, and finished a hopeless tailender Maybe Mike will go over there and show 'em daylight in 1913.

PAPKE WENT UP LIKE ROCKET AND CAME
 DOWN LIKE A STICK

s'Up like a rocket and down like a stick summarizes the career Of -i;llly Papke Within a, year from his en-
 trance into .tfe professional pus1llstlc ranks the Illinois lad had shown him. self able to defeat the bfsst men or the weIterweight division, men who had been lighting for years. Climbing up to the rniddleweight chs>1r :alonsh1p
 of the world. his descent to a second quite as rapid as his rise. Five years ago Tony Caponi was the best mid Gleweight of the West. Papkc fought him twice in 1907, the first time to q German put the Italian away in two rounds Papke, under thecwins of T E. Jones, at whose club in LaSalie, H., he had first fought invaded the East five years ago this month. Billy easily defeated Tommy Sullivan near Boston, and got a decision over Terry Martin and Pat O'keefe at PhiIadel- pl1ia. Paple wound up the year 1907 by fighting Hugo Kelly at Milwaukee. Kelly was perhaps the best man he had fought Up to that time. He had twice defeated Tommy Burns, the Canadian heavyweight who was once worlds champion, and claimed the was hardly justified by the records. In any event, the Papke-Kelly affair was advertised as for the middle weight title. It went ten rounds, with something doing every second, and the referee called. it a draw. In March of 1900 Papke and the Italian were aga1n maIcheQ Tn -M1tt-Suk6G, and again they went ten unds to a draw, with neither man having shown any the better of the argument. In June of 1908 Papke fought the first of his memorable battles with Stanley Ketchel, at Milwaukee, and lost the decision 'Papke then went to Bos- ten, where he offered to meet any two men of his weight that could be se- lected, excepting only Ketchel and Hugo Kelly, in one evening. The fighters pited against him were Franlz {111 D Johnny Carroll of Brockton- To the nude eye the Illinois lad seemed up against it for Carroll had knocked out Sailor Burke and Mante1l had de- feateo Honey Melody. Papke took on Carroll first and the lad from tho City of Churches lasted less than two rounds. Billy was. still fresh and weafing the smile that won't come off when he faced Mante1l- The man from Pawtucket was so outc1aSsed that the referee stopped the bout in tine first inning Papke then made his bow in New York by defeating 4Saflor Burke in six rounds.

 think there is room for reform in the boxing game though. The pro motors are so anxious to pick up a little change, that they don't stop to consider they are hurting their future chances. Instead of getting two even iy matched boxers who would put up a good bout they get a champion and send him against an unknown. They do this becaAse the champion will draw the crowd and the unknown can be secured for a few dollars. The result is a poor bout and the people get sore. You can't blame them.
 During his residence in this city Ryan fought several minor bouts. In his 20 -years as a. fighter Tommy won the championship of the welter and middleweight classes and was never beaten at these weights. In 20 years the only man who trimmed him was Kid Mccoy, Ryan's own pupil. Mccoy weighed more than Ryan at the time. Ryan's last fight was in Arkansas seven years ago when he knocked out Dave Barry. of California.

TINKER TELLS WHERE MIGRANTS
 MEN LOOK WEAK

Joe Tinker, shortstop and acting
 manager of the Chicago Cubs, made some interesting comments yesterday regarding the Giants chances with the Red Sox in the coming worlds series. Luck may cut a big figure in these gameS," said Tinker, '.and if McGraW has a fair share of it or a shade the Giants may turn the trick But they will have to play steadier and more aggressive ball than they've shown | against. the Cubs this year. I haven't t sen the Red. Sox, consequently I am not in a position to say much about
 them but it's practically sure thing
 that their pitchers, especially Joe
 Wood, are going to bother the Giants
 a whole lot.
 .'Tesreau will be the Giants kingpin.
 You can bet on that. He's a repro
 ductfoI of Ed Walsh of the White Sox
 in physique. courage and delivery,
 confidence and experience. But Tes-
 reau's spitball is a wonder. for you
 can't hit it even when you think you
 know just how it is going to cross the
 plate Speed is everything and when
 coupled with thes moist fling you're up
 against it. It wouldn't surprise me a
 eran always seems to be there in
 pinch He's got the head and the
 nerve, also the knowledge. even if he
 doesn't possess the great speed of
 ''Marquard has a weakness which he can't overcome. He cannot hide his delivery. By that l mean that IL IS
 possible to tell by the way he holds the ball whether he intends to use curve or a fast shoot. I told McGraw about this defect before the world s series last year, but Mae said it didn't matter The Athletics, however, got the hang of Marquard just because they watched him narrowly. The Rube also has lost the jump on his fast ball don't know the reason for 1t, but it is true nevertheless, and he'll be- handicapped because of it.
 "In the games we have played against the Giants this week some of us have come to the conclusion that Arthur Wilson is a better catcher-a better man for inside team work than Chief Meyers. Wilson has more ginger and fight in him than the In dian and looms ID like one of the. best catchers in the profession. There another thing about the Giants that we have noticed, They seem to stand still too much. That is to say they don't pull together enough when the pace is hot. We have won tie series from them just because we have ex- celIed them in this respect. We are going to pull for the Giants against the Red+Sox sbeca l4ses we age National Lea euers, heart and soul but Me Graw's men, we fear may not be able to make enough runs to hep out their pitching staff Still the series doesn't l look like a sure thing for either team, | an6-as I said before. if McGraw gets | a few good breaks in the luck New York may prove victorious. Let us hope SO anyway"
