FIELDER JONES
TO PILOT FEDS
Signs Three Year Contract With
the Owners of st.
Louis Club.
RETAIN MORDECAI BROWN
Man Who Steered Sox to Worlds Title
In 1906 Quits Job as Head of
Northwestern League.

Chicago, Ill, Aug. 17.-Fielder
Jones, the man who made possible the
coinage of the phrase "hitless won
ders" has returned to baseball as man
ager of the ST. Louis Federal League
club.
This announcement was made yes
terday by President James a. Gilmore
of the third league, who admitted that
the former wizard-pilot of the White
Sox at meeting in st. Louis last
Tuesday signed a contract to assume
the burdens now carried by Mordecai
Brown. The move was withheld at
Jones' request to give him time to re-
turn to Portland, Oregon, and resign
the presidency of the Northwestern
league.
Jones will formally supplant Brown
next Friday when the st. Louis club is
at home. He will continue in that role
during the seasons of 1915 and 1915,
according to the document signed by
him and the hackers of the Mound
City club. Just what salary was of
fered to entice Jones back into the
game is not known. but it is under
stood that O0OO or Whereabouts will
go to the eX-National and American
league star for his term of service.
Brown to Be Retained.
Jones will handle the St. Louis team
from the bench. He has not yet delved
into conditions among the players now
managed by Brown, but will institute
several changes as soon as he as
sumes charge. Brown will be taken
care of and his full contract paid. II
Jones does not wish to retain him as
a pitcher, the Chifeds stand willing 10
acquire him by trade.
Jones' last day in big league ball
came in the fall of 1908, after the
White Sox had made a sensational
fight for a pennant. 1t was his ambi-
ton to buy stock in the club, but Co
miskey refused. and this brought
about Jones retirement. He had been
manager since June, 1904, when he
supplanted James Callahan, and in the
season of 1906 piloted the SoX TO a
league and worlds championship, beat
ing the Cubs in the big series.
OF the term OF 1906 il has often been
said that hits were not necessary to
win bail games. 1t was because of
this remarkable scoring ability that
they became known as the ''hitless
wonders" Jones has always been

War news. which has so effectually
pushed other affairs into a position
most inconspicuous, has begun at last
to spread itself over the sport page.
Vigorously censored dispatches from
abroad declare that Georges Carpen-
tier, the French pug, has been enlist
ed in his country's army. Jack john
son, formerly of these parts and now
a true Partisan, also indicated a will
ingness TO fight for his adopted coun-
try. All of this is of interest to the
fight fans.
Carpenter, fighting in the French
army for 20 cents a day, looks back
fondly TO the times when fighting
brought him much fatter wages. Val
or, it seems, in France comes cheap.

MITCHELL WINNER
OF CLUB TROPHY
Plays Remarkable Golf and
Captures Arsenal Champion
ship-Equals the Record.

Leon Mitchell is the Arsenal golf
club champion. He won his new hon.
ors in the final round of the annual
mems tournament Saturday, when he
defeated DR.. Larned Allen, Davenport,
Z up 5. The match was for Sc holes
and excited much interest.
1t was in the mornings play, that
Mr.. Mitchell displayed remarkable
form, covering the course in 70. which
equals the record for the local links,
established in 1912 by w. r. Middle
ton. Is is now probable that Leon and
his brother Ardo, will be contestants
for the low medal score, later in the
season. 1t is regarded as highly i'm
probable that a lower figure than 70
will be made. Earlier this season
Ardo also made the course in 73 and
the two brothers will have to fight 1t
out for the supremacy.
E. F. Johnson defeated E. c. Muel-
Ter, 8 up 2, in the handicap match The
qualifying round in the A. B. and c.
flights will be started tomorrow, 16
contestants playing in each class.

We are reliably appraised of the de-
tanning, among other Yankees on for
eign shores, of a number of our demon
white hopes. This has so delighted
American lovers of real sport that
in their eagerness they have ventured
to hope that transatlantic transpor-
tation will be hampered for quite a
while. Till the white hopes have sunk
into their foreign graves at least.
Lightweight fighters residing r.
these U. s. were also carried into the
seventh circle of elation when it was
rumored that Freddie Welsh would
join the British army. As yet this
has not been verified. The fight fans
only distress is the thought that our
fighters might return to the land of
their birth to take up their native
colors. In which case there would
be few american" fighters left.

FLYNN CONFERS
With C. White
Chicago Lightweight Scrapper
May Come Here for a
Bout at Park.
TO MEET SOME GOOD MAN
Promoter Wishes to Give Fans Real
Treat Before Present Season
closes-Goes to Chicago.

Dan Flynn, promoter and manager
of Exposition park, left early this
morning for a motor trip to Chicago,
where he will confer some time With
in the next few days with Charley
White and his manager with the OBJ
ject of securing the Windy City bat
tier for a go at Exposition park be
fore the present season comes TO a
close.
There is no doubling the fact that
White is one of the best lightweight
scrappers of the day. He has issued a
challenge to Freddie Welsh to fight
him for the worlds title. Welsh Will
doubtless accept If he comes to this
country, but owing to the war in
Europe it would be impossible to stage
such a match in England.
Would Meet Good SerapPer.
It is not Dan Flynn's plan, by any
means. to match White against some
local or unknown pug, but he will
sign up q man almost as well known
as White himself. probably someone
like Joe Rivers or possibly kilbane.
True. Kilbane is n bantamweight, but
he has a hard time making that class
and is rapidly growing heavier. He can
easily reach the lightweight division
and q match between him and White
would prove a drawing card for the
fans.
When Dan went to Chicago this
morning he also had in view a con-
ference with Packey Mcfarland IL he
can be fortunate enough to secure one
and it is possible that he may sign
up the Chicago stockyards battler for
a go with White.
At any rate Dan says he is willing
to put up n couple thousand iron men
10 secure an exhibition go between
White and some other good man, and
If he succeeds the tri-city fans will be
treated 10 a bout such as they have
seldom had the opportunity OF Wit
Messing.
OF course Dan could not hope to
secure a championship match Tor
80 600 or $4,000. but n go between two
good men where no title is at stake
could easily be arranged for this
amount

considering his financial reverses,
that in his case it is most unpleasant
ly true. 'Twere much more desirable
to be biffed on the beak at a fiatter-
ing price than TO be ducking the
enemy's bullets at 90 cents a day.
Jack Johnson, though he offered
his help to the French was not &C
cepted. Perhaps, as those who bet
on the recent Moran bout would have
it, he couldn't pass the regulations.
Many Americans were dismayed to
learn that he wouldn't march to war,
there being a feeling in the United
States that in this way the interna.
,tionaI slaughter was denied a chance
to do little real good. However, he
may yet be taken in by the Belgian
or perhaps the Servian army.
There are other aspects of the war
that cheer sport loving Americans.

ouIy a minor incident compared to
What happened when Umpire Van

asain after he had knocked a home
run with a runner on base in the
eighth inning
When Little Alec" stepped TO the
plate in this session one man was out
and Fritz was on first Zwilling foul

Then the riot started. Manager

calling upon Van Sycle TO forfeit the

In the meantime President Gilmore
remained calm. He asserted the UNI

Is there one of us to whom it was not a

We are plain men who have given opr
