 MAY BE STOPPED

President Ban Johnson's war against betting on baseball games at American League parks was opened at the Polo Grounds, New York, yes- terday afternoon when four alleged Boston bookmakers were refused ad- mission and a number of spectators were elected from the grandstand.
 President Frank J. Farrell, of the Yankees, got the tip from Boston that a number of operators, who had been driven out of business at F'enway Park, were on the way to New York. Private detectives guarded the en- frances against the alleged undesir- ables Another force of detectives was scattered through the stand, with orders to eject spectators found of fering to lay bet. About a dozen men were led out of the grandstand to the club offices where, after hay ing their admission refunded, they were politely requested to leave and remain from the Polo Grounds indef1- nitely.
 The action of the local American League management was made in con- cert with other teams of the league.

Officials of the New London club are making an effort to have Out fielder Joe Briggs reinstated. The big fellow was fined $10O and suspended for the season for assau1ting Out fielder Nealon about three weeks ago. Since then he has written a letter of apology to Nealon. He admits he lost his temper but says he doesn't think Nealon would want him to remain out of 8 job all season on account of the trouble.
 Briggs has a wife and children to support and has been writing appeal ing letters to Owner Plant of the New London club. The matter has been discussed with President O'RourHe cJemency to Briggs might be the right thing. The president told the New London management to make a for mai application to have Briggs rein stated and he would then take the matter under consideration.

 Ho1yoIre has received an offer for Pitcher Daniels, who has been going fine this season. Tom Fleming, who acts as scout for several American association clubs, made the offer. The Holyoke manager thinks Daniels is good enough for the big league and will hold off while longer.
 Pitcher Cunningham, who was with Bridgeport last season, is doing we'll with Lynn of the New England league. He recently held Fall River to three hits.

PRES. WILSON TO
 HELP WORLD TOUR
Promises Manager Callahan of White SOx That Foreign De-
 pertinent Will Aid

Washington. June 17-When James J. Callahan of the Chicago American Baseball club called on President Will son yesterday to explain the proposed world tour of the White Sox and the New York Giants, MT.

The trip begins next November and will include visits to the Philippines, Japan. China, Aus tralia, Egypt, France and Ireland The teams will return about March l, 1914.

Young Cohen, who was looked upon as a dangerous proposition and has now only to beat Kid Lewis to be in a position to claim the tile Driscou has practically decided to vacate- Lambert is but boy at present and is only in his third season of boxing. He created a great sensation in 1909 by winning the amateur featherweight title wte1n only IF years old. He beat four opponents in one day in fine style and after one more season in the anna teur ranks he threw in his lot with the professionals. A mistake was made at the outset by matching him with such top notchers as Joe Bowker Charles IIegrand and Peddiu- Palmer, but after these defeats he was school ed along carefully and has not lost a battle during the last 8 months He is not yet good enough to tackle 10risco11, but should easily account for Kid Lewis and Joe Starmen, the only two leading feather weights he has not
 met in all England
 A peculiar point that Lambert makes now about his losing fights is that he had been accustomed in his amateur bouts to let up when he had a man "going'' and give him a chance to come back. He followed the same custom when he started as g. profes- sfonaI, with disastrous results to him self for when he had a man going and let up in his work for moment he found the other fellow coming back and giving him what he should have handed his opponent It took a few contests to break him of the habit. but he thinks now that he can take care of himself nicely and not overlook a good chance to follow up an advantage.

SPORTOGRAPHY

Tommy Burns, the former heavy weight champion who promoted the recent McCarty-Pe1ky bout, will ceIe- brate his thirty-second birthday to- day. Tommy, whose real name is Noah Brusso, was born in Hanover, Ont. June IT. 1881, and during his eight years in the ring. fought his way up to the top Of the heavyweight heap, only to lose the crown to Jack John son.
 After leaving the ring. Tommy set tied in Calgary where he is the own CT of a flourishtng clothing business and considerable real estate. He built a big arena ila the Alberta metropolis, and was we'll on the way toward mak- ing that city a great boxing center, when the death of McCarty and the subsequent burning of his arena put an end to all his plans. It is probable that Burns is through with the box ing game, for the, fatal termination of the McCarty-Pe1ky battle has put an end to fistic contests in the Dominion, and 1t is hardly likely that Tommy could be induced to leave Canada
 Tommy began fighting in 1900, and his first nine bouts were won by the knockout route. His first defeat was at the hands of Mike Schreck, in 1901. After a rest he returned to the ring in 1903, and went through that year without a defeat. but in 1904 was best ed by Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. In 1905 he fought two draws with Hugo Kelly, and was defeated by Jack Twin Sullivan In 1906 he knocked out Jim Flynn and held Philadelphia Jack to a draw, besides winning the heavy weight title by his defeat of Marvin Hart Tommy successfully defended the championship against Jack O'Brien, Bill Squires, Bill Lang, and a number of others, until he met Jack Johnson in Australia, Dec. 26, 1908. Tommy admits that he had no over powering desire to fight the big smoke, and put the price so high that he thought no promoter would meet it. In his recent bout with Arthur Pe1ky, staged shortly before the McCarty tragedy, Burns showed that he still carries a good wallop, although he lacked many of his old tricks of the trade.''
 Tommy is probably the brifest in Tommy is probably the briefest' in heavyweight title, standing only five feet seven inches. In the ring he looked far from impressive, but he in his arms, and great hitting power. before he became a boxer, and also swell dresser" he was almost the equal of Kid Mccoy, and he knew a lot about clothes before he went, into the business of selling them in Cal gary. Tommy continues to use the | name under which he won fame, and has found it decided business asset
