RARE SPORT AHEAD
FOR BOXING FANS
TOnight's Bouts in Turner
Tournament Expected to Fur
nish Excellent Competition.
FRIEDMAN LIKELY VICTOR

Some rare sport is in sight Tor the
followers of the boxing game in the
semi-final and final bouts of the ama-
teur boxing tournament at the Ma
Gonal Turn Verein. Bruce street, to-
night, when the winners of the pre-
liminary bouts. which were held on
Saturday evening, will clash in an
effort to corral the prizes that are
being offered to the winners and Sec
ond men of each of the four classes.
1t viii require thirty odd rounds of
lighting to decide honors in the vari-
Gus classes, and the chances seem to
be about evenly divided between the
local and out of town boys.
Abe Friedman should prove the
winner in the 110-pound class, al
though there are several good men
to oppose him. The Turner's have
three boys left in the 120-pound class
and expect to have a winner in Al
bert Thomas. The 1S0-pound class
should prove a slasher. the four con-
tenders for the honors being John
Jarecli, the 135- pound New Jersey
champions Ben COIN. the Turner
who won last months
tourney: William Newman. the clever
Bronx Church House boxer. and
Bernard Levine who by his work on
Saturday, proved that he is a finished
product Of the fight game. The hon
ors in the 140-pound class will go to
an out Of town competitor, as there
is no local entrant in this class.

fourth-that was in his first year,
when he had to rebuild Ferguson's
club. Wright was one of the Pills
managers that finished in second
place. Shettsline was another, and
Billy Murray and Charley Doom also
got that high once. Wright brought
the Phils home in third place three
times and Shettsline finished there
twice. Arthur Irwin was the only
other manager to bring the team
home third.
Bob Allen acted as manager part
OF the season of 1893, when Wright's
eyesight failed him, and Arthur r.
win aided Wright In 1894, and sue
oeeded him in 1895. Although Irwin
finished the year in third place. Billy
Nash succeeded him, and, as Nash
went back five pegs with the club,
George Stallings was engaged.
Stallings has learned much since
then, but he will never forget the
stormy days he had on the then
Rogers Field When the Pills
slipped back to seventh In an eight
club league on Sheetsline in 1902--the
same year, by the way, that Horace
Fogel tried his hand at managing
the Giants, with Andy Freedman at
the head--Shettsline was let out, and
Chief thinner, then catcher, was
given the job. thinner didn't bring
the team up one place, and he gave
way to Hughey Duffy.
The latter experimental, and went
to the bottom the first year he had
the team, but, having a three-year

1.-THE remained two more years, and
managed to finish in the first di-
vision both times. Following Duffy
came Billy Murray. Murray and his
band made a great try for the pen
nant in 1907, finishing second, and
then slipped back the following year.
The year of 1909 was a troublesome
one for Murray. Every day or so
someone hired new manager for the
team, and finally Murray was let
out when Horace Fogel secured con-
troll of the club. Doom has been
manager" since then.
All in all. the Pills have made a
good record as club. The club
finished second four times; third, six
times; fourth, eleven times; fifth,
twice; sixth. three times; seventh,
twice; eighth, three times, and
tenth. once. Luck has never been
with the managers of the Pills.

PHILLIES HAVE FAILED TO WIN
PENNANT IN THIRTY=TWO TRIES

AS has been told oftimes for
thirty-two years have the Philadel-
phia Nationals tried. and for thirty
two years have the Pills failed.
Other clubs have failed, too, but not
quite so often as the Pills. And in all
these thirty-two years the Pills have
been Loyalty supported, everyone tell
ing himself that next year" will be
the year. Maybe 1t will. One can
never tell.
In these thirty-two years the Phils
have had eleven managers-Moran
making the twelfth. Charley Doom
held down the Job longer than anyone
else since the days of Harry Wright,
who managed the Pills for eleven
years, being assisted the last two
years he was with the club. Doom
held the post for five years, and Will
lam j. Shettsline, still with the Phils,
was manager for four and one-half
years.
In all this time the record made
by Wright in the early days of base
ball appears to be the best, while the
record made by George Stallings, now
the manager Of the worlds champion
to manage the Phils in 1897, and the
club finished tenth in a twelve-club
circuit. They were twelfth before the
season got two months old in 1898, and
the rebellion which had been smol-
dering for more than a year broke
forth and the players refused to go
on the field again with Stallings as
manager.
The break opened the way for the
appointment OF Shettsline as man
ager. and he brought the team homo
in the first division. No one who
ever piloted the Pills had a better
record than Shettsline, but because
he had one poor year he was slipped
in among the discards. One bad year
was all that it required for a man
ager to get the hook from the
Pills. Wright was the only manager
who gave satisfaction to the public
or the owners of the club.
The Phils were first managed by
Bob Ferguson, and he brought the
team home in eighth place in an
eight-club circuit. This was in 1888.
Wright took hold Of the club the fol-
lowing year, and in the eleven years
following was only once worse than

Santry'S Political Success
Another Chapter in Career

Eddie Santry. one time a great
featherweight boxer, has added an
other chapter to his varied career.
The recent election resulted in Santry
being elected as a Representative in
the Illinois Legislature from a Chi
cage district.
Santry's career has been fraught
with many trials. Champion of the
featherweights, referee, threatened
with blindness, and now politician,
are some of the things which have
helped TO keep the Chicago boy before
the public for years.
While he is not generally credited
with having ever held the feather
weight crown, Santry was. as records
viii show, king of the 122-pounders
though his claim to the honor was
short-lYed.
July 1, 1898, Ben Jordon, then
featherWeight champion of England,
paid a visit to New York and there
defeated George Dixon in twenty-five
rounds on a referee'si decision. That
battle took place two years before
Terry McGovern whipped Dixon and
at time when Little Chocolate
was undisputed leader of his division.
The following year. on October 10,
Jordon lowered his colors 10 Eddie
Santry by the knockout route in six
teen rounds. Subsequent to Jordon's
defeat of Dixon in New York up to
his meeting with Santry Ben escaped
a whipping which--it cannot be fig
ured any other way-brought the
Briton into the ring with Santry in
of the laurels he wrested
from Dixon.
There wasn't anything technical
g. he
conceded the laurels he came right
short-lived for Santry, however. A
little over four months after whip
ping Jordan, Eddie tackled Terry
in one of those siX-round
bouts, and Terry knocked
him out in five rounds.
The records show, too, that Dixon's
with Terry McGovern trans
pired January 8, 1900, nearly a whole
month before Terry's argument with
Santry, which is further proof that
Dixon was not featherweight cham
pion at the time he was stopped by
the Brooklyn terror.
As things happened McGoYern ulti-
mately realized his ambition, but like
war news from Europe, the title was
in transmission.
Following his retirement from par
ticipating in bouts as contender,
Santry turned his attention to the
work of refereeing, at which pursuit
ne made a success until threatened
with blindness, when he was forced
to retire temporarily.
Eddie made many friends during
his connection with the boxing game
who are surprised, but pleased, TO
know that his quest in a new field has
not been fruitless

these arguments with the men who
interest themselves in sporting affairs
in Newark. but for the people who
like sport and for the people who are
always willing TO pay their good
money to support the various pas
times. Personally it would be much
more pleasant for me to be ON friend
~ terms with all concerned, but if
this were SO Newark, through no
fault of her own, would be seriously
handicapped in many ways. When
things go right it is my delight to
boost sporting events, but when crap
shooters and cheap skates" assume
to control affairs 1t is somebody's duty
to protect the people who might be
lured to these amusements against
themselves. Some men remain honest
because of the searching light of pub
lie opinion ever turned upon them.
Pitiless publicity, President Wilson so
ably described it. But some men, T
assure you, especially those of shady
character, become desperate through
power and at success. If NeWark's
sporting enterprises are to be con-
trolled by such men it is better that
we go elsewhere for sport. And, incl
dentally, just as long as I am able
to WELD any power, the public will al
ways be apprised at least of the good
and the bad In sports.

since Tom McCarty made him look
like a soiled deuce in brand-new

rather shy until Charley weinert,
noticing him out of one corner of
his eye, observed how melancholy
Jim looked and, just to be nice to
him, Weinert gave Savage a kind
word and a shake of the hand. It
put new life in Jim, who seems to
think that all the world is against
him, for here was his hated rival
giving him the glad hand and wish
ing him luck. Weinert had a method
in his show of friendly spirit, it
seems. He had learned that Savage
was to quit the boxing game and
take up diving as a profession. This
tickled Charley, for he never ap-
