The first great break in the quartet
Of great pitchers that helped TO bring two
American League remnants to Philadel-
phia, came yesterday. when Connie Mack,
manager OF the Athletics, announced that
he had released Harry r. CCy'O Nor
gan 70 the Kansas City team of the
American Association. Morgan came to

suit Of trade with the Boston Red Sox.
The cool air Of the bench these days is
inviting Jimmy Callahan. manager OF the
Chicago White Sox. Tho heat and battle
OF the field are getting distasteful to tho
veteran OF nineteen campaigns, and, ac-
cordng to reports which have sound
foundation, this IS Callahan's last year
on tho diamond. In the future he will
direct things from the bench. II Matty
Mcintyre regains his old form before the
close OF the present season Callahan will
stop right where he Is and allow Mcintyre
to play the garden. No one knows better
| than does Callahan that he cannot go
along much longer. 1t is against nature
that ne should do so,
Nineteen seasons ago two young players
entered the major leagues at about the
same time OF the year. They were Bobby
! Wallace and Jimmy Callahan. These two
veterans, after the fight Of nearly two
decades, are the only players OF that year
who remain actively in the game in the,
big leagues.
Owing to the death Of Napoleon Ia
joie's mother there is a possibility that
the hard hitting second baseman OF the
Maps will not be with the team when S.,

Bombardier Wells. the heavyweight
champion OF England, is in great trim
for his ten-round bout with Tom Ken
nedy in Madison Square Garden on
Thursday night. Among those who Wis
| tied Wells at Rye, y. T., yesterday were
Billy Gibson, manager Of the Garden
| Athletic Club, who told the Briton that
If ne whipped Kennedy he could have a.
match with Joe Jeanette.
Wells came here seeking a fight with
Jack Johnson" said Jem Maloney, the
English champions manager. But, of
course, that is out Of the question sincei
Palzer has beaten my man. If Wells
defeats Kennedy, however. he will gladly
box Jeanette, who in our opinion is at
| least the equal Of Johnson. Wells Is
going to be stronger and faster than in
the Palzer bout, and we are both conf.

Sammy Kelly. who has improved Ken
nedy's style lot since taking charge
of him, three months ago. cannot figure

| saws Wells will find Kennedy much
harder to hit than Palzer and also a
more scientific boxer Kennedy is the
only man who has knocked down Jim
Stewart since 1910. He has perfected
| short hooks and uppercuts under Kellys
| instruction, and the latter firmly be-
| lieves that Wells will take the full
count The bout is attracting so much
attention that the advance sale is I'M
usually large. 81
The report that Willie Chandler, the
sparring partner OF Knockout" Brown.
had sustained serious injury when the
latter's automobile crashed into a NOV.
ing van Ct Rockaway Beach last Sunday.
Is found to be untrue. Fortunately he
escaped with several minor bruises and
cuts. The accident will not prevent his
meeting Young Lustig In ten-round
bout at the Atlas Athletic Club, Rocka-
way Beach, tonight.
