Klaus Makes a Kick
About the Referee

CHICAGO, Sept. 24-Frank Klaus,
Pittsburg middle weight and conceded
the best claim to the middle weight
championship. has raised protest on
the referee of his 10 round battle in
Milwaukee next Monday night with
Eddie McGoorty. Klaus is opposed to
a third man from the Badger state,
declaring that since McGoorty's home
is in wisconsin there is danger of ia
voritism. He wants some outsider,
and In a wire to Tommy Walsh, who
acted as matchmaker for the Mil
waukee people, suggests the name of
Ed w. Smith.
Though there are no decisions rem
dered In the beer city. Klaus declares
there are many ways an impartial
referee can aid one of the principals,
and since this battle borders on the
championship he Is not inclined to
take any chances. That his stand will
cause some confusion is sure, for the
Wisconsin state law provides that the
referee must be a resident OF the
state. In that Mr.. Smith is a native
commission might give way to Klaus
argument. 1t may also declare that
Klaus take a Wisconsin judge or stay
back in Pittsburg and go without the
match.

NIXON CAN 7 SWIM
rs AN OLYMP IAN
Trivial Matter of Two Hours
Robs Winged 20" Club
of Star Performer

Marcondes Nixon Of the Olympic
club will swim unattached and not as
a member OF the winged o at the Pa
cific association championships at the
Y. M. C. A tank next Friday night.
Nixon swan as member of the Y. NJ.
c. A. team on September 81 last year,
and under the ruling of the Amateur
Athletic union Is not eligible to swim
for another club in this territory until
the expiration of one year. His year
will not expire until two hours after
the completion of the meet next Fri
day night. and Instructor Coffman of
the local Y. M. c. A. is holding the
Olympic club to the strict interpreta-
tion of the law.
President Elliott Of the Pacific as
sociation is OF the opinion that Coff-
mans stand is not in line with a
spirit of fair play, and while he ad-
mits that the letter of the law pre-
vents Nixon swimming, still he is of
the opinion that this is a case where
the spirit of the law should be taken
into consideration and states that eff
the Y. M. c. A. instructor Is really out
for good, clean sport, he would not
raise such trivial technical objections
as he has done in this case.'
The registration committee, which
has the handling of all such argu-
ments. ruled that Nixon should be
allowed to compete for his club, to
which he now belongs Instructor
Coffman took umbrage at the decision
and Judge Thomas r. Graham, who is
an enthusiastic supporter OF SWIM
ming. was appealed to for the inter-
probation OF the law. He decided that
technically Nixon could not swim for
the Olympic club.
The Judge, however, stated that
while Coffman had every right to pro-
test against Nixon. he did not think
such trivial protests would help the
swimming game. He said: "In such
cases as this, with boys doing their
best to advance such a manly sport as
swimming, liberal and broad minded
Interpretation of the of the law should
be taken. I was asked for my opinion
and gave 1T. but such technical obtec-
tions In sport will not help the game
1t was only matter of few hours
difference. and 1t would have been a
nice thing for Nixon's opponent TO
grant him the privilege of represent
ing the club he Is now a member OF. !"

Baker carries. and therefore he is not
so much feared and does not upset the
opposing team so completely How
ever, as a hitter l think Shafer will
be surprise in this series. He is so
cool and level headed and goes about
his work so deliberately that he Is
liable to do something. On the other
hand. Baker is carrying a big repu-
tation as hitter into the games. and
his admirers will howl every time he
falls to make a home run.
THIS MAY WORRY HIM
The fact that Shafer is ambidex-

story that used to be told on an
eccentric pitcher once with the Giants
who is dead now. He was fond OF
pulling big words without much re-
gard for their meaning. Fred Ten

There is no room for sentiment in
baseball If you are going to turn out
a winner" he says. Therefore, Shafer
is the better man.
Shafer is fast. one of the fastest
men in the game. He is also a smart
ball player, and he never worries. 1t
is not in his temperament to fret.
Sometimes he seems to be so phleg-
matte that he approaches careless
ness. To the fans in the stands he
may not look to be always trying. but
I know he is a hard player. He goes
after everything, and an error does
not upset him at all. He Is sensa-
tional fielder, cutting down many hits
that another third baseman would
give the ow-do-you-do to. In
baseball parlance the ''how- -do-you-
do means passing ball up without
trying for ii, because the fielder be-
iieves it too hard and is afraid of
hurting his average. Shafer will try
for anything. He is also faster on
hunts than Baker and a better all
around fielder. He is naturally grace
full and fast on his feet.
Shafer is a good hitter. He Is anbi-
dextrous, batting right handed when
he faces southpaw and swinging
around to the left handed position
when a right handler is working. He
Is about equally good on either side
OF the plate, which is an unusual
thing in a hitter. Once Shafer leaves
the plate he excels Baker, because he
Is better base runner. He is a dam

fast that he will carry a long way on
