ENGLISH cRlCKETERS
ANNOUNCE DATES FOR
IMPORTANT 1914 GAMES
EBy Latest NALL

LONDON-The annual meeting of
county secretaries to arrange the
cricket program took place recently
in the pavilion at Lords. F. E. Lacey,
secretary of the M. c. c., presided.
and in announcing the dates of the
chief fixtures at Lords next summer
pointed out that the Lords ground
would then, have existed for 100
years. In honor of that fact the pro-
gram for the season would be some
what fuller than usual, but in all es-
sentials it would be similar to that Of
1918
Mr.. Lacey drew particular atten-
ton to the match on June % in
which a representative English elev-
en- will take part The annual match
between the navy and army will be
played toward the end of June in
stead, of at the beginning, the change
being made at the request of the ser
vices. The later date may enable the
king to be present Tarrant is to
have the Middlesex and Hampshire
match at Lords, starting on May 80,
for his benefit, and the Surrey COM
mittee has given Hobbs the match
with Kcnt at the Oval, starting on
August 10, as his benefit.
The last match of the Scarborough
festival, beginning on September 10,
will be Lord Londesboroughss eleven
versus the NJ. G.. C. team now in
South Africa. Over 40 matches have
been arranged to start during the
week end, most Of them on Saturday.
Kent is the only county which has res.
fused to give war to the weekend
habit. although all Yorkshire's at
home matches start as usual on Mon
day or Thursday.

Frank Gotch, worlds wrestling
champion, who practically has been
in retirement for two years, viii

to pin every wrestler in the game that
he has not met, according TO persis-
tent rumors that will not down. The

road work for several weeks, II Is said,

clean out the present crop Of heavy

Emil Klank, Gotcf's manager, just
before his departure for Salt Lake
City. admitted that Gotch had started
doing read work. He also said he was
confident the champion could be
coaxed back to the mat TO boost the
game and test his ability to beat the
present crop of heayyweig1ts.
Cannot Resist Lure Of Arena.

that he had finished with wrestling =

arena often comes stealing over him

"Goteh is in good shape right now,
but you can take it from me that he
never will go into battles with the
best in the game unless he Is trained
to the minute. It always has been
Gotch's policy to train faithfully for
patches where his title was at stake,
He will never go into big bout ut
this stage of his career without know
ing that he is in the best possible
condition.
Must Bar Defeated Aspirants. = i
Another thing about Gotch, if can
influence him to come back, is he
must bar those wrestlers he has met
and defeated deeisively The public
is not interested In seeing boxers and
v restlers keep meeting indefinitely,
and, besides, Gotch is getting older
and it takes more time now for him
to train for a hard bout. He is in a.
position to dictate terms an.l see
no reason why he should go out and

a season in which there has been as
great development as during the past
twelve months In baseball, boxing.

intensive games progress has been
made. Even greater attention has been
paid to the broadening Of the general
scope OF the great purpose of all ath-
letics--the making of stronger race.

standpoints The Athletics won the
championship of the American League
while the Giants finished first in the
National In the worlds series the
American League representative got
the championship rather easily, OUT
chasing in every department the
leader of the older organization.
Greatest Performers
The greatest individual performers
on the diamond were johnson and
Cobb in the American League and
Mathewson and Daubert In the Ma
tional. johnson proved himself the
greatest pitcher baseball has ever de-
yeloped, while Cobb led his league
with the bat. Daubeft has the best
batting average in the National
League. while Mathewson was again
recognized as the most capable pitch

Boxing failed to bring out any real.

very clever men working their way
upward. A real champion was devel-
oped in football, while one Of the
most successful years ever known to

There are today in the prize ring

their knees hammered together when
they pedalled the distance from the
dressing room to the ring to enter

SERIES
NOT TO BE IN
SAN FRANCISCO
TEy latest NALL

NEW Y0RK--while Iss.al,e is practi-
eaily no chance of the winners Of the
National and AMERICA league ehamp-
ionships of 1916 playing a world S
baseball series at San Francisco in
1915 in connection with the Panama
Pacific exposition, it now looks as If
the best players of the two leagues
would be seen IN series of games
there.
j. e. Sullivan, secretary treasurer
of the Al. A. u. and the man in charge
OF the athletic events at the exposi-
ton, has been anxious to get the two
championship teams to play there, but
President b. B. johnson of the Amer
ican league stated that he would not
approve of such a series, that he
thought a series between two teams
made up Of the best players in the two
leagues would be good thing, and
that he was favorable to it.
President Johnson's objections are
easily explained. To have the worlds
series contenders engage in a second
baseball clash would hurt baseball.
For instance, If the Athletics and the
Cubs are the flag winners, and the
former turn their usual trick of de-
feating their National league oppon4
ents, in a second series the Cubs
might beat the Athletics, and what
would be the result?
! The public would say: "Oh, the
Athletics were fortunate. Didn't the
Cubs beat them the second time?" And
the worlds championship wouldn't be
considered as meaning much OF any
thing.
President johnson is willing to
make the members of the Baseball
Writers Association the judges in the
selection of the all-star teams.
