Splitting

= T. LOUIS, No, Sept. 5.-That Branch
~ Hickey. scout and legal adviser of
- the st. Louis Browns, viii succeed
George Stovau as manager on Sept. 6,
when the club departs on its last east
ern trip, is authoritiveIy reported Al
though the Browns management would
not confirm the report it is generally
understood that the change will be
made. StOvalTs splitting propensity is
said to have queered him
StOvaI's Dismissal Regarded Certain.
StovaII's dismissal now is considered
a certainty. It is only question Of
when Hedges viii see fit to make a
change. fans believe From a very re-
liable source il was learned that Hedges
intends TO put Hickey in charge when
the club goes east next month. At that
time many of the young players will
have reported and Hickey Will be per-
mitted to shape the recruits destinies
from the time they enter the major
league.
Doubt as to Rickey's chances of sue
ceeding StOVall was dispelled when
Hickey recommended the sale of FL
mer Brown, of the Montgomery club,
who was the property of the Browns.
to the Brooklyn Nationals Hickey
spent three days in Montgomery and
refused to exercise the clubs option
on Elmer Browns return to this city.
Had Absolute say IN Buying Players.
Hickey has had absolute say n pur-
chasing players for next year He
engineered the deal that brought
Clarence Walker here from Kansas

by the Browns management in many

that he is still there with the kick in
either hand. sam said after the match
that his one ambition was to get Jack
Johnson into the ring with him, but
that John Arthur had kept his distance
so successfully that he had about given
up hope Of ever enticing him into the
roped arena for an evenings entertain
menL
Tt seems s though Sam Langford and
Joe Jeanette are not TO be brought to-
gether during September after all The
Los Angeles fatality has resulted in
calling off most of the big bouts and
unless promoter Tommy McCarey de-
cides to so ahead. the match scheduled
for September % between LangfOrd and
jeanette viii be called off. 4 lot OF
interest has been taken in the proposed
match because Of the great rivalry be-
tween the two crack negro heavy
weights
Another coast match has attracted
lots of attention through the western
country is the one between Sailor Pa
trOskey and Bob McAllister, the new
is a nal star AID another Bob Fitz-
simmons They are to meet September
9, Admission day in California, and It
viii be the second time they have
McAllister is being favored for the de-
cision this time.
Billy Papke, at one time champion
quietly at his home in Kewanee. Ill.
the past sumner, is TO take another
flyer at the game and also the title
that is, If he can make the weight.
Billy had intended going back to Paris
this fall for match with either Frank
Klaus or Georges Carpenter but he
has changed his mind and now says he
will remain in the states and grab off
some Of the matches in the middle west.
He is anxious to meet Jack Dillon or
Eddie McGoorty. He has been working
about the home all summer, doing light
work in the gym and says he is in bet
ter shape now than he has been at this
time OF the year in several seasons.
It is probably that London, England,
may be the scene of some more big
international matches, such as were
held by Hugh d. Mcintosh at Olympia
during the season of 1901, when the
Australian promoter put in his time in
England News comes to me that
syndicate has been formed in London
for the purpose of pulling off some big
matches and that they will in all prob
ability be held a Olympia. It will not
be surprising to find Al Palzer and
BOmDardier Wells matched UP again,
also Wells and GunbOat Smith, while
an effort is also being made to bring
sam Langfcrd and Joe Jeanette to-
gether. Tommy Burns had also been
negotiating with the London promoters
to take Arthur Pelkey over for one of
the big matches.

Two of MOOre's hits were four sack

Dan CPorzy) Flynn, the Boston light
heavyweight is now convinced that
sam LangfOrd is some hitter. Twice
Dan has taken the count from Samuel,
the first time at Melbourne, Australia,
when he was given the K 0. in the
18th round of a hard battle. Previous
to that Dan had been training with
LangfOrd, but they had a dispute ana
as a result a match between them de-
veloped. When they both landed in
Boston recently there was talk Of an
other match and the Boston A. A sue
ceeded in getting them together for a
second meeting Dan was in good shape
and in the first round put LangfOrd
to the floor with hard right hand
smash. 1t did not stop Sammy, how
ever, for he came back in the second
with a look that BODIED i'll for Daniel
and he handed out some straight
punches that made the Boston man
vince. Again in the third he demon
strated that he was Flynn's master and
IN the fourth he put Dan to sleep with.
a straight short arm blow TO the jaw.
It was Sans first fight since his re-
turn from Australia and he showed
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1913-09-03

of any weight that Johnson has fought
in years.
Every other bout on the list was a
cake-walk for Johnson 1t is impos-
sibIe to take the fights with Jeffries
and Flynn seriously. There was not
a real man in front of Johnson On
either occasion Jeffries was a nerve
wreck and Flynn never was anything
In four years Johnson has been IN
the ring twice On both occasions
the result was assured. Absence from
the ring is sure to injure the perform
ance of the negro champion, no mat
ter If he starts work today and con-
tinues up to December.
The only way in which Johnson
can get back TO his top form is by
boxing several tough men in real
fights before meeting Langford.
If he does not, something of the
trouble that afflicted Jeffries will
blight the big fellow. Judgment OF
speed. distance and footwork will be
faulty; and that unconscious co-ordi-
nation Of mind and muscle, which
makes for intuitive attack and de-
fence, without which no fighter can
ever succeed, may be seriously weak
ened-
Lan=fOrd's style suits Johnson.
There's one thing; Langford's style
of fighting is made to order for
Johnson He likes the kind that come
to him, all critics agree. His game
IS defensive and the man who car
rles the fight to him is not going to
enjoy the going But Flynn carried
the fight to Johnson; and, while he
was plentifulIy whipped, there were
those at ringside who declared that
Johnson was tired at the end of the
ninth round
If Flynn could tire him, Langford
could wipe him out entirely.

GAGE AND HALFORD
MATCHED TO FIGHT
Manager for Gage Says He Could Get a
Fight With ManteiI for His Man
But Doesn't Want 1t.


But Doesn't Want 1t.
frankie Gage and Max Halford will
be the lightweight card for September
Il. as indications now stand. 1t was
originally intended that Halford should
be matched with Gage, but a hitch
arose in the negotiations
Promoter Gonzales stated Tuesday
night that Battling Manteu, of
Brooklyn, and Gage had been signed to
meet, but this was denied by DR.. R D.
Horton, manager Of Gage. We can
sign frankie with ManteIl at any time, %
who is a much better card in Juarez."
said Mr.. Horton, but we want HalfOrd.
Gage wants 80 percent Of the gate re-
ce1pts to meet HalfOrd, while the latter
wants 20. HalfOrd has worked himself
up In popularity with FL Paso fans
through his two clever exhibitions in
the Juarez arena.
Fred Sloan, manager OF HaIford
wired Gage Tuesday night for a match
and the Los Angeles boxer declared his
willingness, If he was guaranteed 80
percent of the gross gate. HaIfOrd's
hoIoout claim for 20 percent makes a
total OF 90 percent, which the promoters
refuse to give.
Gordon and Herrick received SO per
cent of the gate receipts and as the re-
celpts OF the Labor day bout drew them
out of debt and placed the club on a
SUBSTANTIAL basis. it is considered that
Halford and Gage should receive an
equal amount
Both boxers are known as mixers
from the initial bell and are fayorites
with the Ell Paso fans.

Johnson Too Old To Fight AT twenty-five
Early
Easy Victory.
By JOHN E WRAY.

n 7. LOUIS, No, Sept. 3.-They sim
ply can't help it, these poor, stif-
fleming spavs Of the ring. Though
a man with a cataract on both eyes
might see that Old Daddy Time was
cutting them down, fighters them
selves never get to believe it until
the enlightening punch of youth rams
home the bitter truth.
Jack Johnson today can't see II.
Aged 50, with hardening arteries, lost
residence, dissipated tissue and
physical makeup that has been al
lowed TO run to seed for five years,
world still thinks he is able to front
a man like Sam Langford in the prime
Of life and fresh from scores of fierce
rallies in the ring against the picked
and tried fighters of the world.
Career Is Not Creditable.
JohnsOn's career since Dec. %, 1908,
when he won the championship from
Tommy Burns, is enough to make one
hang the family plate on LangfOrd's
chance. Here is a list of Johnson's ac-

Up TO Officials.
In this matter. as in many others
pertaining to the welfare Of our cities
and towns. the officials who have prac-
teal knowledge Of their needs must
take the Initiative. We are still living
in an age Of cheapness, and so long as
the poorly constructed fire trap rents
as readily as the fire-proof building
there is not much encouragement to
the builder or property owner to build
as he ought. Eventually the compell-
ing power must come from the law
makers of the state, with an eye solely
