London. April 1s.-Two matters are

Thanks to the persistent distortions

that no charge OF corruption had ever
been made against a British govern

SCOUTING PRETTY HARD
 JOB, DECLARES SUDDEN

In his day, ssJoe'' Sugden, scout for the Detroit Americans, was one of the famous catchers of the game and his gnarled fingers bear visible testim ony that he has stopped many Q, curve that was Signaled to be an oItshoot and turned out to be something else, and maybe something unclassifed. Any way, Sugden was among the stars un- til that inevitable day came when his muscles refused to respond to the quickness of his thought and in the vernacufar of the ball field he slowed up-' Now he is picking players for President Nevin of Detroit, and he talks eloquent1y and feelingly of the troubles of a scout.
 s.Of course, we have to look for always tipping us off to where one may be found. and managers who have players they think are corners are not backward in singing their praises. But the scout is spending g the managers money. This scouting g business is an illogical job, anyway. We go out to find a pitcher who can stop the hardest hitters ir the big league and at the same time look for hitters that can drive any pitcher to the club house. A great crowd of young players are bought every year by the clubs in the big show and the great majority of them are dead ones. ! .ther,

Yes, he is striking them out and winning games, but look at the bunch he is pitching to. I could do almost as well against the same bunch.
 Then along comes a couple of fel- lows that can hit and they string them out against the fence. His friends excuse this by saying that he went up in the air because a scout was watching him. If that throws him in the air, what would he do in the big show against the hardest hitters in the business and with 25.o0o fans roasting him?

CHINESE BOXER MAKES
 M'CATRY QUIT GOLD

The Yellow Peril, boxing gloves on its hands and defiance in it's eyes, stalked into New York last night, went up to the St. Nicholas A. c. and struck a heavy blow for Mongolian suprem- acy. An Chung is the name of the representative of the F7lowery King dom who thus put China on the Queeneberry map. and sad to relate, a son of Erin, yc1ept Paddy NdcCarty, was the victim of the pugi1istic skill of the child of the Far East.
 It is safe to declare that if An Chung, who is a resident of Boston, should ever decide to start a laundry in New York he would not get any washing from McCarty. An Chung outgamed AIcCarty, which is another strange angle of the affair, for the Irishman quit cold after getting a hard wallop on the jaw in the middle of the sixth round.
 In the main bout of the night the Army, as represented by Soldier Bach us, of Brooklyn, was rammed by the cruiser Jack Heating, who upho1ds the honor of the Navy in the roped arena
 Tn the second round Heating went after his man with a rush and in two minutes had him down again, this time flat on his face. Roche counted, and il was so evident the Soldier did not in tend to get up even if a hundred was counted that the crowd joined with the referee in the count.

MIKE DONLEN IS
 CANNED BY PHILA,
Former Giant Reported To Have Offer From Another Major
 League Club

Mike Don1in, former star outfelder of the Giants and hero of the Polo Grounds was yesterdap released from the bondage of organized baseball when the Philadelphia National League club presented the old ''war-horse'' his unconditional release.
 Until Manager Charlie Dooin of the Quakers, handed Mike his passport the demon slugger was hors de combat so far as organized baseball is concerned. Donlin was traded by McGraw to Bos- ton, and travelled from there to Pitts burgh. A later deal transferred him to Philadelphia, but Turkey Mike refused to report to the Quaker City
 Throughout the present season he has been playing semi -profesA Aionar baseball with a Long Island aggrega- ton. According to the sharps who fol- low the semi-professtonal pastime In the neighborhood of Gotham, Donhn seems to have ''come back with a vengeance and is likely to catch on with a major league club.

BOMBARDEER WELLS LIKELY TO COME BACK
(Bx T. s. Andrews.l

Plans are maturing for a national boxing organization which will have for it's purpose the booking of boxers for various clubs or promoters to be a general booking agency the same as is in vogue among theatrical people. The man back of the project is Wilbur Stuart of Columbus, Ohio, and associated with him are men in New I ork and St. Louis Itt1s the in tention of the organizers of the com pany to have connections in all the large cities of the country. This pro- ject would do away with the middle man, or manager, to some extent, but not necessarily, as very often man agers are only too willing to pay the regular booking fee to get a match The scheme may not look very tempt to some at the present time, but with the growth of the boxing game there is no reason why the project should not be a, success, at least it is worth trying.
 There may still be hope for Bonn
 bardier Wells, the British heavyweight champion. He is one of the greatest
 t'in and outer" who ever jumped into
 an arena He has all the science of
 linn Corbett when the latter was at his best and a greater reach, but he lacks the stamina. He is too tall for | his weight, standing six feet four | inches, while he scales only 186
 pounds. At long range fighting he is a wonder, but once his opponent be- gins to find his weak spot-his stom- l ach-good night. "Bomby'' lost to Georges Carpenter, the Frenchman, the same as he did to Gunboat Smith (by a body blow) but he came back this week in London and put Pat O'Keefe to sleep in fifteen rounds, af- ter the latter had given him a stiff
 argument. Wells has the punch all right and knows how to use it, but
 that one drawbaek-his stomach-is
 ever, there is hope for him and we may vet hear of him beating a. lot of l white hopes.

Gloucester. Mass, Aug 14-The drst fog bank which the New York Yacht Club has encountered on tho cruise. this year, drifted in from sea, earIy today, and at morning colors it looked as if the final run back eo AfarbIehead would have to be omitted lf the forenoon sun did not burn up khe m1sts-
 Up to this morning, the fleet had been singularly favored with clear weather and while the winds at times were of the softeSt texture, the sched- 0Ie has been maintained and all but the races for the cups offered annual " by the association of the United Btates Navy have been decided. The racing division 91as covered 226 miles while some of the fleet, which en- gagged in the Astor and Kings cup races off Newport, have sailed 300 miles in cruising trim.
 The racing fleet that prepared to eazl out to the Eastern Point whistler, today. for the contest in MassacI1u- Eetts Bay, was scarcely a quarter of the size of the squadron which eight days ago started on the initial run of the cruise from New London It in- cluded. however the eight 50 Hooters which have furnished the best sport of the year in large yacht racing as we'll as three sloops, the Chirnna, Avenker and Dore1Io and the P boats Windward and Amoret.

CUBAN CATCHER
 CAN'T TALK ENGLISH

Cincinnati, Aug. 14.-"I surely is a shame says Bill Sweeney of the Bos- ton Braves, that Gonzales, the young Cuban catcher, can't speak English. It's my opinion that there are no bet ter catchers in the major leagues. The boy is absolutely 8 wonder. Never have I seen his superior in backstop- ping. and he actually beats Archer as a thrower But what could you do with him in our company? So much of the game depends u8pn quick spoken words, rapid orders, hurried taIks-and what could this boy do?
 ''If I were managing club, instead of; scouting for catchers or buying them. I'd spend a little money teach ing Gonzalez English during the off season and then have him ready to go right in as first catcher in spring. Believe me, he'd be well worth the trouble and the money

NO MORNING PRACTICE
 KEEPS NEWARK FRESH

Newark Aug 14-Harryi Smith is Dne manager who does not believe in morning practice for his team. The Newark Tigers have not been called on to get out any morning for re- hearsa1 since the day the season open ed- T never believed in it when I was R player. says Harry, .and I try to treat my men with the same consii- eration with which I like managers Eo treat me
 s'In the first place, after going out in the morning and working out for Hwo hours a player has lost much of fhfs pepper and by the time the sew enth or eighth inning comes around in Hhe afternoon he has to drag his feet along
 -.OnIy in the rarest cases, where a Eeam is suffering from a severe bat Ring slump, would [ recommend such a thing as morning practice. Of bcourses we have been up at the top of the heap and we don't need it, you might say. But the fact that we are son top may be in a measure traced to hlais policy.
 The players appreciate this kind Df treatment and have more spirit, as isvell as pepper, when the time comes Nor a real struggle. Even when a team is in a. slump some managers will make their men go through a ErueIling practice before a game The ballplayers do not care to back into Hown to eat. but hang around the park, devouring a sandwich or some other light monday repast.
 When they need their strength most of it has been used up, and ina Etead of benedting even a sIunping teans morning practice often helps to put a team further down in the race. We have been lucky enough to oscar De any real serious slump this season We have had our full share Of acci- dents. but we have been lucky enough No have capable substitutes on the bench ready to jump in at the time when most needed

MAJOR LEAGUERS
 AFTER DUG SMITH
Meriden Southpaw With Fine Record Closely Watched
 By Scouts

Pitcher Smith of the Meriden East ern association team. is becoming famous. Recently a scout represent ing the Indianapolis club of the Amer ican association was in the stands at Aferiden watching Smith work against Springfield, and Tom Connery, the old Hartford manager, who is doing scout duty for the St. Louis Cardinals, will blow into Meriden to see the kid per form.
 Smith was given a tryout by the Boston Red Sox a. couple of years ago while he was in High school at Mil 1ers' Fall, but Donovan doped it out that he was too young and let him go. Last year Smith went to Lowell, of the-New England league, and worked part of the season and it was from the Lowell team that Over Whalen pur- chased him this year. He is the sole property of the Meriden club and looks just now like a big investment for Whalen.
 This year Smith has won eight and lost five games with a tai1end club, and has been the most reliable twirIer on the staff. It is the opinion of East ern leaguers that Smith will be in bigger company next year.
 Owner Whalen announces the re- lease of Red Waller. who has been going poorly lately as his health has not been good. He does not Intend to play ball again this year. and is planning a trip to Denver.
