SENATOR'S TWO
CLOWNS ACCUSING
CRITICISM

Herman Schaefer and Nick Altrock
may not be allowed to pull off their
famous boxing sketch when the team
reaches Washington. according to a
rumor In existence here yesterday.
1t was learned that persons high in
baseball had written to Ban johnson
protesting against the brand of coach
Ing served up by Schaefer and Altrock
claiming that these comedians are
making a burlesoue out of the nation
al game
To the average fan, 1t Is said base
ball is a serious proposition. The fan
goes to the park to see professional
players, paid princely salaries for
their athletic attachments, engage in a
contest of skill and Drawn. He re-
serves for himself to criticise the
work of the players.
But the Introduction of professional
comedy into organized baseball tends
to tighten interest in the serious side
of the game and by so doing is very
apt to work a serious injury to the
national pastime in the near future,
1t is asserted.

B, JOHNSON FAvORS
new PLAYERS UNION
Can See Nothing Detrimen-
tai to Pastime in Pro
posed Organization.

President Johnson of the American
league declared yesterday that he saw
nothing inimical to the best interests
of baseball in the Players Protective
association proposed and that he
would not oppose II. A players union
modelled along the lines of the labor
unions would hardly be tolerated, he
declared, but he did not see why the
players should not have an organiza-
ton to proceed along legitimate lines.
Whether the proposed association
will be admitted to the national COM
mission is a question that President
Johnson is not in a position to an
swer.
1t is the universal belief of the ball
players that they should nave repre-
sentation on the national commission.
They constitute a big portion of the
game, and think their interests should
be represented. A number of players
of the major league clubs in Chica go
were interviewed yesterday and all
approved the move for an association

K|LbANE'S CHALLENGE TO AID
WOLGAST. THE FUNNIEST EVER
Johnny Making Himself Unpopular by Fear of Taking
Chances, Says Referee Eyton

The patrons OF boxing demand that
a champion. when he is in good health
defend his title occasionally, and this
Kilbane refuses to do
Johnny makes excuse after excuse
until the public has come to think
that Kilbane obtained his title only
by being lucky enough TO catch Attell
out of condition, and at time when
Abe believed he had tapioca.
The Cleveland lads actions have led
most people to believe that they will
see Atten growing a long gray beard
before he gets n return match.
Promoter McCarey has kept the
wires hot lately trying to get Kilbane
to agree to meet either Attell or Har-
ry Thomas. but without effect.
Suddenly Kilbane breaks into print
with a challenge to Wolgast. Now.
why does Johnny want to meet a boy
out OF his class when he refuses to
prove that he is the peer of all the
122pounders?
1t is because Kilbane realizes that
the wonderful little Dutchman is a
very sick boy and that If he could
coax him into a match IN his present
miserable condition he might outpoint
him. under practically the same con-
ditions that he outpointed Atten. and
gain lot of additional cash and glory.

Los Angeles, Aug. S.-Johnny Kill
bane has given the sporting world
many a laugh since he acquired the
featherweight title. but his challenge
to Ad Wolgast is certainly the fun
NEST thing the Cleveland streak has
ever put over.
Johnny probably has made himself
the most unpopular boy that ever held
a championship principally through
his unwillingness to risk his laurels
against a man of merit.
He will box any boy of mediocre
ability six or ten rounds in any kind
of weather. but when a man of class
tries to land him he claims It's too
hot" or That fellow weighs too
much"
Personally, he is a little gentleman.
a clean living, good hammered youth.
and. judging him from this angle.
admire him greatly and believe him to
be a credit to the boxing game.
But judging him as a worlds cham
pion. which Is impossible. he is the
worst kind OF a frost, not because he
hasn't the talent. as he is enc of the
most scientific boxers we have ever
had, but he is afraid to take an honest
chance. and this fact explains his un-
popularity.

CYCLIST UNHURT
IN ACCIDENT

New York, Aug. s.-William Shields
of Syracuse, a professional motorcycle
rider. had remarkable escape from
serious injury in a hve-mi1e race at
the Brighton Beach motordrome short
~ before midnight last night. He was
making a pace of eighty-five miles an
hour when, in an effort to improve his
position. he attempted to force his
way through a gap which seemed to
have been opened up between the two
leaders in the race. The gap was not
quite wide enough and Shields handle
bar touched the saddle of another ma
chine. His pace was SO terrific that
the slight impact threw his weel into
the air and landed its rider IN a heap
on the fiat running board, from which
he rebounded into the grass of the in
field. He was not hurt.

GARY AT LAPORTE

The Gary Works ball team goes to
Laporte Sunday for return game
with the Laporte nine. This game is
considered one of the hardest of the
season by the Gary fans, as Laporte
has added several new members to
their team since the last game with
the steel city aggregation. Gary is
now probably the strongest contender
for the pennant. There are still
twelve games to be played and Man
ager Umpleby expects to win the
greater number of these games, II

Johnson Turns Down Con
tracts For Fights With
Langford and McVey.

Tom Andrews, the American repre-
sentative of Hugh Mcintosh. the Au-
stralian fight promoter, was In Chi
cago yesterday to see Jack Johnson
relative to the latter's contract which
calls for two fights in the antipodes-
According to Andrews the champion
said he would not fight under any con-
ditions and that he cannot be held to
the contract which he signed while he
was training for the Flynn fight.
johnson has broken faith with Nc
Intosh" Andrews said. Il saw him at
Las Vegas. where he was training fol
the Flynn fight. and he signed a con-
tract to meet Sam Mcvey and Sam
Langford in Sydney within six months
after the Flynn fight. Mcintosh guar
anteed him $4,000 for these fights, but
apparently Jack does not need the
money.
1.-THE champion said there is only
one man who will get him back into
the ring and that man is AL Tearney
who held the forfeit money for the
Johnson Flynn fight. 1 saw Tearney
and he said he has no hold on John
son and that Jack should live UP te
his contract Tearney told me that he
will do anything he can to help stage
the nghtS, Dut ne was HriIl IN his Deliel
that Jack is through with the ring
forever. / will see Johnson again next
week and make a final effort to induce
him to live up to the contract"
Andrews said Mcintosh has en-
barked in the sporting goods business
in Sydney and is doing well. The Mil
waukee promoter said the business
will not interfere with McIntosh's
fight plans Andrews left for Milwau-
kee list night.

the comedy pe3dled out by Schaefer

done that well there was chance for
