POLICE SUMMON
N. Y. MINES TO COURT
Some of the Sunday Games Are
~Played-others Do Not
Go On.

NEW YORK, July 29.-The police Of
upper Manhattan and Brooklyn made
1t lively yesterday for the semi-pro-
fessional baseball clubs which have
been playing each Sunday during the
season before large crowds of spec
tators in enclosed grounds Alto
gether over two hundred, players and
score-card vendors were summoned
to appear in police courts today to
answer charges of infringing the Sun
day law.
This law provides that no admission
fee shall be charged to a baseball
game or any athletic game. The po-
lice contend hat in order to gain
admission to the ball grounds, the
would-be spectator must purchase a
score-card, paying therefor twenty
FIVE cents. In a number of instances
yesterday after the summonses were
served on the players and ~score-card
men, the games proceeded to the end.
In n instance, where a game ended
when the police invaded the grounds,
one disguised fan yelled at the blue
coats:
,"Why do you want to break up a
decent ball game? Go and catch the
Rosenthal murderers!"

WOLGAST HAS THREE
FIGHTS ON. HE SAYS

CHICAGO, July 2s-Ad wolgast.
lightweight champion. was in Chi
cago last night on his way to his
home in Michigan from California.
Wolgast said that he had practically
arranged for three fights on the
coast which would net him $500 0
despite reports to the contrary. He
said the first fight would be held
probably on Thanksgiving Day
1t is supposed the three matches he
has in mind are with Rivers, Nc
Farland and Ritchie.
Before the promoters who came to
negotiate with Jack Johnson for .
match with Joe Jeanette left for
home last night they declared they
had been unable TO induce the cham
pion to fight in New York for less
than $50. 600, and that they had de-
cided to devote their efforts to bring
ing Wolgast and Mcfarland into a
match there instead.

WOOD CHALLENGES
GREAT KOLEHMAINE

NEW YORK, July 2s.-An effort is
to be made to bring to this country
Hannes Kolehmainen, the Finnish
champion, who carried of all the
Iong-distance honors of the Olympic
games. It has been reported that the
Finn would turn professional now
that he had won the highest possible
amateur honors.
In view of these reports A. E.
Wood, the English runner. who set
new worlds figures for fifteen miles
when he beat the American cham
pion, Billy Queal. at Celtic Park this
spring, has forwarded TO Kolehmai-
men a formal challenge for a race al
any distance from ten to twenty
miles. Wood has just reached this
city from Toronto, and believes that
a race with the Finnish wonder can
be successfully staged here for a
purse of five or even ten thousand
dollars.

Surmounts Almost Impossible
Odds in Registering
His Victory.

quite handily from Alfred Grenda,
the Australian champion, who was
second, and John Bedell. who was
third. This race was m of the most
gruelling long races of the season.
and when the bell sounded for the
last lap there were but four sur
vivors out of a field of thirty.
With the exception of Kramer,
Grenda, Bedell and Pete Drobach the
riders all battled for the lap prizes.
which were IS for each lap. Even
Tricky Comes and Menus Bedell went
in for grabbing the small change in
instruments rather than wait for the
bigger money at the finish. Menus
took six laps and Comes got seven.
AT the finish Grenda went to the
front with Kramer trailing him. but
with the foxy Drobach, who has
shown a marked preference for the
Australian, lowering around in the
rear, Kramer. to forestall any chance
Of being pocketed, went to the front
with the bell and was never headed.
Grenda made an effort to come up
and fight at the finish, but Kramer
was moving too fast TO be even par
TALLY headed.
John Bedell might have had a big
day had he been allowed 10 crowd
in in positions where he was not, by
any written or unwritten laws of
racing, entitled to go. In the third
semi-final of the Grand Prize of July
he tried to butt Marcel Dupuy. who
eventually won the trial, out of his
position behind Albert Crebs, who
was leading, but Dupuy gave John
the elbow and shot him up the track.
Bedell repeated this in the five-mile
race and was handed the same dose
by Grenda. Grenda used a table
spoon where Dupuy had used only &
teaspoon. This rolled the passive
John and he took a swing at the
Australian as he went by. He missed
But poor John won the handicap and
Menus was second. bringing home tc
the BedelI exchequer the usual week
ly deposit of shekels.
The fve-mile paced race. which
was run in heats, went TO Percy
Lawrence, of California, in straight
heats. Ernie Pye was second and
Joe Nelson third.
In the amateur races Donald Nc
Dougall again starred. He won the
three-mile open with ease, having
yards to spare over Norman Hansen
the champion of Denmark, who was
second.

|FRIOL DEFEATS CAVANAGH SO EASILY
FANS BELIEVE KRAMER MUST HUSTLE

two lengths to Cavangh's one, and
before the Celt had reached the mid
die of the backstretch the foreigner
had made up the Intervening sixty
yards and was alongside of him.
Cavanagh vas the most astonished
rider that eve strapped a foot in a
pedal when he saw little Friol dash
up, for as he vas entering the turn
out of the homestretch he turned to
see how far he was in advance, and
it was very evident that he was more
than certain that the heat was surely
his, for he ducked his head and beat
it for the tape without any further
glances to the rear. When Friol
caught Cavanagh the latter prac-
tically quit. although he continued on
to the finish, Fniol winning sitting up.
The second heat was an exact du-
plicate of the first. Again Cavanagh
won a commanding cad by cutting
Friol as he went by, but by this time
F'riol had his measure and set out
Immediately to get him. This time
he got him quick and gave him the
laugh coming down the homestretch
That laugh was to even up for being
twice handed a raw deal. Cavanagh
leaves for Europe Thursday, but his
heart and his courage will be left be-
hind. Both can be found on the turn
into the backstretch at the Velo-
drome.
Kramer in Two.
Friol was not the only hero Of the
day. Frank Kramer came in for his
usual share of the applause and prize
money by winning his semi-ffnal of
the Grand Prize of July and the
Scramble Stakes. a five-mile race for
professionals. The champion was at
his very best and won the long race

GEORGE BELL GOES
HOME; ARM IS SORE
BengaIs in Buffalo Today for
Double Bill with
Herd.

BUFFALO, July 2s.-After their
quick jaunt to Jersey City, Joe Nc
Ginnity's Jungleites returned here al
s o'clock today to renew hostilities
with the Herd. Losing a game to the
Skeeters did not put the Tigers in q
happy mood after dropping the last
game of Saturdays dou~ble-headel
here. The Bengals made a wonderful
uphill fight in both of these games
and luck and Umpire Mathews were
the only things that stood in the way
to a double victory.
The Tigers showing on the road
trip so far has been such a remark
able record that they can finish ahead
on the number of games won If they
secure only an even break in the Sc
ries at Toronto and Montreal.
Smith on a Scout
While the Bengals were playing in
Jersey City yesterday, Captain Harry
Smith was on a brief scouting trip to
Long Island in quest of a young in
fielder named Silzer. who covers sec
ond base for the Jamaica Woodhulls.
Silzer is also wanted by the Boston
Nationals, and is said to be an all
around marvel. Scout Larry Sutton,
of the Brooklyn club, is acting as
chaperon of the Tigers for the re-
mainder of the trip. Vice-Presideni
George L. Solomon was compelled to
return to his home because of his
wife's illness.
1t looks now as though the Tigers
will be compelled TO finish this triI
without the services of George Bell.
George has developed a fine young
sore arm. and has asked for permits
sion to rest at his home in Academy
Corners, Pa, until the Tigers return
home on August s. George won min
out of ten games in Newark and
started out well in Baltimore. but
when he jumped from the hot climate
of Maryland to the cooler Rhode
Island his wing stiffened. and the
winds of these lake cities have added
to Bells troubles.
Nothing but a rest a aid him to
swift recovery of his former effective
ness. Since leaving home George has
dropped three out Of four and been
knocked out of the box three times.

Johnson to
Make Reply
Cibson's Offer of $40, 900 to Be
Answered Today-Jack's
Decision.

Whether Jack johnson and Joe
Jeanette will meet in a New York
ring will be known today. Johnson
will ave to reply to Billy Gibson's
offer, and unless the heavyweight
title holder changes his mind there
will be no fight between himself and
Joe Jeanette at Madison Square Gar
den on Labor Day.
A long conference was held between
the promoters of the bout and John
son In Chicago Saturday. The cham
pion demanded $4,000 for his end.
Matchmaker Billy Gibson, of the Gar
den A. c., offered $4,000, and made it
known that this was his very best
figure. Both were firm in their stand.
Johnson says he will retire on Labor
Day, and under no consideration will
