SPOR BIOGRAPHY

The torturee of the damned can't be
 much worse than those undergone by some boxers in training for a battle.
 One of the cruelest self-imposed martyrdoms any man can ever live through was the course of "treatment'' Frank Erne forced himself to undergo in preparation for his battle with Terrible Terry McGovern, which was pulled off in Madison Square Gar den, New York, just thirteen years ago come tomorrow. Erne was then lightweight champion, while McGov- ern was the leader of the feather weight division. Tn making the match 12S pounds rfngside and also agreed that he would have to knock McGov- ern out inside of ten rounds or lose the decision ETne, owing to rich i11v- ing, had become a little heavy for even lightweight, and must have time to train down to 128, but he com tinued to eat heartily and drink much wine until within a week of the date set for the bout. He then weighed about 135 pounds, and at last alarmed he seriously commenced the work of getting rid of the surplus pounds. It was a hurculean task. During that week Erne ate only enough to keep body and soul together. and was giv- en only enough water to keep him from going crazy A couple of days of this and Erne was too week to do road work, and a day or two later he had to stop boxing with his sparring partner. He was urged to call off the bout, but he dogged1y refused. The weather was extremely hot, yet Erne spent the days lying in the sun, almost naked, permitting Old Sol to suck the moisture out of his emaciated frame. In that inferno of heat, every fiber of his body crying out for water, Frank spent the three days before the bat tie. The day of the fight was a .'scorchern and the Garden, filled with perspiring fans, was like a bake oven. At the ringside, the tottering, ghost like Erne tipped the scales at exactly 12S. Erne used every bit of strength he had in an attempt to knock out McGovern in the first round, and he succeeded in dropping Terry for the count of nine In the second it was apparent that the ghost of Erne had shot his bolt, and in the third he was in such misery that Referee White stopped the slaughter.

WATERBURY TRADES
 HOEY AND NAGELSON
 FOR CATCHER AHEARN

Waterbury, July 15.-Manager Sam Kennedy of1the Waterbury baseball club pd1led off the biggest deal of the season yesterday morning when he traded Jack Hoey, the left fielder, and Louis Nagelson, a catcher, who has been with the Contenders all season, for Walter Ahearn, catcher on the Meriden baseball nine. The manage nnent believes that the deal will be for the best interests of the team and in this view he has the support of every baseball fan here who has an interest in the club.
 The acquisition of Walter Ahearn, considered among the best backstops in the Eastern Association and exceIl- ed by none, is the best and the big gest trade made this season, eclipsing the Merden-New London trade. The swap was made by the local manage ment with the view of having catcher capable of holding the twirIers. Too many games, so the management be- 1ieves, have been lost by poor back stopping and as Hoey had not been doing anything for the past few weeks it was decided to trade him if possible.
 Meriden also needed a. backstop and NageIson went with Hoey. It is be- lieved some cash was involved, though Manager Kennedy's information is that he let Hoey and Nagelson go for Ahearn. Hoey is batting 1900 and Nagelson for .245.

TOO MUCH PAMPERlNG
 HURT PITCHER SHULz

Boston, July 15-Manager George T. StatIings of the Boston Braves learn ed thic week. with no little surprise, that Harry Wolverton, now manager of the Sacramento club in the Pacific Coast league, has released uncondf- tionaIly, Toots Schultz, who was with Stallings up in Buffalo a couple of years ago. Schultz was Pennsy's star tWirler during his college days, and at the end of his college career, Presi- dent F'ogel signed him for the PhilIies the contract calling for a $3,500 salary and a two year contract, in which the Phillies waived the reserve clause
 Schultz didn't come up to expeota- tions and was shipped to Buffalo for seasoning, upon Schultz'e own request The understanding being that he should receive his full salary just the same. He was recalled by the Phillfes last season. but was utterly worthless to Dooin, and during the winter was released outright to Wolverton sshuItz enjoyed one of the softest berths ever known to a recruit, and no one ever entered the major leagues with more promise. Schultz had p1en- ty of native ability and his failure Is blamed to the fact that he was too much petted and pampered in the col lege ranks

LYNCH PLEASED
 WITH HIS UMPIRES
National League Head Replies t0 Complaints of DiSgruntled
 Club Owners

Replying to the frequent public criticisms of National League umpires by several of his club owners, Presi- dent T. J. Lynch last night issued the following statement:
 "The umpire in the National League this season has been as good if not better than at any time in the last four years. I am satisfied with tho ability, integrity and personal charec- ter of the members of my umpire staff and I want to go on record posi- lively as saying that not one of these men is going to be made the scape- goat for the fancied grievances, head less actions or poor playing of any ball club.
 ''The time and money it has taken to build up this staff is not going to be nullified by the absolutely unjusti- fled criticisms of several disappointed club owners.
 Tn case that my position has been misunderstood in any quarter I wish to state again and finally that, unless illness or violation of instructions makes it necessary, there will be no change this season in the personnel of the present umpire staff.
 'T. J. LYNCH, President" 1"

one of the scribes asked him why he did not challenge Johnny Cou1on for the championship. Well, it is just this way said Eddie. -'poor John ny CouIon is a sick boy at present and am not challenging any sick person to fight Johnny has been one of the most willing boys to fight in the world a11d one of the best who ever drew on glove and I would be a fine one to challenge him now that he is sick and unfit to fight and do himself jus tice." The above speaks volumes for little Canpi, and it is safe bet that if Johnny Coulon ever gets the chance to offer Eddie chance at the title he will give him the preference over all others. T

BIG OFFERS MADE
 FOR SENAT0RIAL
 SWIMMING MATCH

Washington, July 15.=When 5ena- tor Pomerene challenged Senator Owen to a swimming match ana the latter accepted they did not realize that so many persons and communi- ties in the broad United States were interested in congressional aquatic sports. Since publication of the match enterprising persons have sought to induce the senatorial swim mers to make it a National event. One of these offers came from the man ager of a nationally known resort near New York. Senator Owen was i'm portuned to race the Ohio senator there, where the manager assured him, The would have a crowd of spec tators larger than could be gathered anywhere else in the world" A resi- dent of Columbus, Ohio, wrote to Sen ator Pomerene urging him to race in the Ohio state capitol While the let ters continue to arrive none, so far as can be learned, is being answered. The race probably will be held at the Bathing Beach here early some morn ing before the curious are up and about.

HARD LUCK GAME
 LOST BY LOCALS
M'GamweII's Terrific Clout Goes to Waste When He Is Nabbed
 at Plate
(By Wagner.)


 The Alibi club held meeting last night and with Three Card Monte Cross in the chair decided that all the luck in the world must have been sent to New Haven in carload lots. There certainly weren't any horseshoes adorning the Bridgeport bench for if Dame Fortune had been making eyes at the locals they never would have lost that IA inning battle to the lead CTS yesterday at Newfeld- It was tough to lose by to and particu- larly when you think of all the chances Bridgeport had.
 The worst blow came in the 12th when Ed McGamwelI gave the ball a terrible beating. It sailed on line for the right field fence and rolled be- hind an auto. But the obstinate ball Instead Foster started a relay throw which nabbed McGamweH at the plate by inches. The visitors made two in the 14th on Barrs scratch hit, Pepe's three bagger and Slows wild throw but the locals came back in their half and got one when Jake Boultes smashed a home run to center. Un- fortunately there was nobody on at the time.
 Blossom Blum started to work for Bridgeport but he had nothing and was tapped for IA hits in eight in-
 
 yanked him earlier. Chief Snyder re- placed Blum after Vandegrift batted for Blossom in the ninth. The Chief went fine until the 14th.
 Ben DeMott, the Lafayette college hurIer, laborer for New Haven. He was tapped freely but used good judg- ment with men on bases and frequent ly made the batters go after bad balls. The debut of our new outfielders, Ira Hallman and Heine Batch, was in spring. Hal1man got pair of singles and Batch collected threel These boys know how to play the pasture and it was a pleasure to watch them work.
 In the ninth when New Haven led by 4 to 3, Promo Silzer walked with one out He advanced to second on Vandegrift's out and tied the score on a. timely smash by Hallman that near Iy took DeMott's hand off. Silzer and Bowman he1ded brilliantly while Pope took honors for the visitors The score:

1sss-Corbett defeated Joe Choynski in four rounds at San Francisco. Later in the same year they fought again, and this time Corbett knocked out Joe in the 27th round. Choynslzi was Q, clever, hard fighter, and took part in several notable battles. Tn 1897 he held Jim Jeffries to draw in 20 rounds, and in 1894 fought a, draw with Bob F1tzsimmons. He was the only man who ever knocked out Jack Johnson, turning that trick at Gall weston in 1901, when the big smoke was just beginning his pugilistic ca- reer.

BLOOD TO SAVE WIFE
 SERIOUSLY ILL

New York, July 15.-sJoe'' Tinker, the shortstop and manager of the Gin cfnnau Reds, poets to leave for Chi cago today with the object of having who is seriously i'll. It is understood that Tinker will not be able to play for several weeks on account of the operation.
 The Cincinnati team is playing Q series with the Giants at the Polo Grounds, and before the game yester- day Tinker received word from his vvife's physicians He knew what was ahead of him. but he played through the game Up to a late hour he had received no word, but is ready to start for Chicago at noon today.
 Last week the Reds played in Brooklyn, but the manager remained in Chicago for a few days. and his wife's condition improved The physi- clans decided that any serious devel- opment would necessitate a transfus- ion of blood to save her life. Tinker volunteered. The message yesterday telling Tinker to be ready for 8 call today was a sad blow to the ball play CT, for he knew that the critical turn was near He patiently waited last night for a message calling him to his wife's bedside, but none came. The other players fear that Tinker, unable to stand the anxiety, will leave for Chicago today, anyway.
 This is Tfnker's first season as man ager of the Reds. The club is in last place in the National League races and only lately has started to play win ming ball. The team has shown great improvement under his management. He has had a hard time wedding out the dead wood and adding new play CTS. An able player an a natural lead CT himself, baseball men believed that the club would be well up in the league race before the close of the season if Tinker could hold on.

LEDOUx ID HAVE
 FIGHT WITH WILLIAMS
By T. S. Andrews)

Charlie Ledol1x, the French cham pion bantam weight of Europe. will have his hands full when he tackles Kid Williams of Baltimore at Los Angeles, July Is. Ledoux and the Philadelphia, it being a draw accord ing to most of the papers The French lad can take a beating and he can hit hard, but against 8 tough pro- position like the Baltimore lad it will be. a, very different case. Williams is one tough nut to crack He can go the distance, as he has demonstrated, and he Is fast on his feet and fairly clever, with a hard jolt in either hand. His work against the classiest of ban tams has always been of the highest order and he should be able to turn the trick against the French cham pion. If he can win the title from Lefoux then he will have the right to battle Johnny CouIon for the worlds title on Labor Day. Ledoux has clear title to the European championship and it was his aim to match up with Johnny Cou1on on this side for the international champic11- ship. If the little foreigner should win it would be the first time that a Frenchman has ever held a worlds s championship in any class of boxing.
 According to the San Francisco pa pers Jess Willard had a, hard t'I3e in his short bout with Charlie Miller the coast heavyweight, who was never con sidered any great shucks in the fight ing line. In the close work Miller had all the better of the going and Jess was glad to remain at long range and try to outbox him. It is certain that if the tall and Ianky Willard could not defeat a man of Miller's calibre he will have to show a lot of improve ment before he can turn the tide against Gunboat Smith. Miller, of course, is somewhat new to the game himself, far as big bouts are con- eerned but he made a good enough shrowfng to warrant the promoters in giving him another match with one of the heavyweights. Tom Jones is piloting Willard and Tom is pretty wise in some respects, but he has quite a job on his hands making a cham pfon out of the Kansan.
 Eddie Campi, the little California bantam weight, may not be a cham pion, but he is a, little gentleman and one who can sympathize with fellow being Eddie recently fought a 20 round battle with Charlie Ledoux, the French bantam at T.0S AnreIoS win
