A Home for Old Ball Players.
From Leslie's.


The newest wrinkle that should interest
the followers of base ball is the formu-
lation by Joe and Mike Cantillon and the
players of the Minneapolis club OF the
American Association of a plan to estab-
lish q home for professional ball players
after they have wound up their careers
on the green diamonds. The two Min
neapolis magnates and their assistants
have been working out the details Of the
scheme for a long time, and now they
are busy communicating with every pro-
fessional ball player in the country. that
the latters ideas may be secured before
the final steps are taken toward the plans
consummation. Most players long have
felt the need Of such a home and now
that the time is ripe they. no doubt. will
rally to the support Of the Cantillon
plan and push It to q successful COM
pletion. A great deal OF preliminary work
viii be necessary, for 1t with be a ire
mendous task to get the 1000 players
Of some thirty-five leagues working to-
Eether, so that the home may be q credit
to the profession and one with which
every one directly interested will be sat
isfied. The plan does not contemplate that
every retiring player will go to the home
to live but it does mean that every player
will be interested in the institution. and
that any man. after q certain period OF
service in base ball. will feel at liberty

WEAVER ONCE PLAYED
BALL FOR 48 CENTS
all White Sox Shortstop Asked
When He Made His
Debut.

PHILADELPHIA. May 20.-One reason
that George Weaver is the shortstop Of
the White Sox, and one of the best young
players in the American League, is be-
cause he played game for As cents for
Dick Devaney's famous St. Marys team
of Phoenixville, just five years ago.
Weaver is a native of Stowe. Pa, which
is not far from Pottstown. Early in the
season of 1909 Weaver, who was then not
much bigger than a bees knee. was con-
stantly pressing Devaney for a chance
with st. Marys, which has always been
one of the strongest Independent clubs In
this part of the counary.
Devaney was surprised, for Weaver was
nothing more than a typical sandlot play
err. who butted in when the st. Marys
players were drilling. But he noticed that
he was a conscientious, agile little cuss,
and one day he told him he would give
him a chance.
He took Danny" as he was known to
him at third base. Weaver played a rat
Ting good game both at bat and in the
field, and Devaney was pleased over his
showing. After the game he went up to
Weaver to pay him off.
Whats the damage, Danny asked
Devaney.
well, As cents would be all right" was
the response 1t happened that 4S cents
was the exact amount in carfare that 1t
cost Weaver to get to the game.
OF course. Devaney paid him more
than this amount, but the incident made
a big impression on him, and he at once
made him a regular, and ever afterward
took big interest in his career.
1t is not generally known that weaver
had a short trial with Cleveland. De-
vaney recommended him to Sam Ken
needy, the Maps scout, and he went to the
Ohio city, but was later released to sag.
nav. Weaver also saw service with
Northampton and York, Pa.
While with York. Manager Doom Of the
Phils obtained promise from Curt Wei
gand that he would give him first claim
to Weaver. but the promise was never
kept, and the White Sox drafted him.
At first Weaver played utility roles, out
he soon won the post Of regular snort

RITCHIE- WHITE SCRAP TO BE
LIGHTWEIGHT EVENT OF YEAR
Latter Has Clever Record to Date and Is Expected
to Make the Champion Hustle

New York, and formerly of Chicago, when
they meet before one Of the new clubs in
New York May %. hTe weight Is to be
1876 pounds. at o'clock, which seems to
lightweights: that is. those of the upper
ten. The Welsh-Britton match will nc
doubt be an exhibition OF truly scientific
boxing, for neither one Is what would be
termed a slugger. Both depend almost
entirely upon their cleverness. OF the
two, Welsh is no doubt the cleverer. as he
has proven against every lightweight he
has met for the past two years. Should
Welsh defeat Britton in this contest, 1t
will make his claim all the stronger for a
worlds title match with Richie.

Len Rowlands.
Since that time he has put up two or
three splendid battles, one against Pal
Brown, his rival in Minnesota, and the
other against Ad Wolgast. Johnny
showed remarkable cleverness in each of
these contests, hence the great admiration
of Mr. Tyrren for the youngster. Instead
of going after the champions with big
side bet just now, wouldn't it be better
for Mr. Tyrrell to match Johnny up with
Pal Brown for the championship Of Min
nesota, and, in fact, the northwest. for 1t
must be admitted that there is no boy
in the lightweight class who has any
thing to speak of on Pal Brown when
the latter is right. Pal only recently
returned from Australia, having defeated
the champion Of that country and several
others. but when he fought Tillman ten
rounds at Superior some time ago he
claimed to have been suffering from
a severe case Of grippe. and also from
a badly swollen ear. Pal went to the
hospital and had his ear operated on,
and also his nose. and reports now that
he is in the best of condition and will

Special Correspondence of The Star.
Milwaukee,. Wis. May 1s.-The big
noise in the boxing world, as finale to
the 1914 fstic season, will be the clash
between Willie Richie. the lightweight
champion, and Charley White, the Chica-
go challenger, when they meet at the big
Auditorium, in Milwaukee,, May &c. 1t
will be ten-round contest for points,
the same as when Richie and Wolgast
met two months ago. 1t is really the big
event of the year among the 1ightweights
for White has proven himself to be one
of the best in the country and has a clear
record up to date, outside of his defeat
by Jack Britton in New Orleans over a
year ago, at a time when Charley Nas
not full-hedged lightweight. Since then
he has developed into a real 133-pounder
and will go into the ring against Richie
nearly on even terms as regards weight
although the champion will have the
shade in making it 1876 pounds instead of
49,
White has met the best boys in the east
and middle west during the past year
and has shown exceptionally good form.
He will go into this battle with many
more hackers than any one would have
supposed ne COulQ muster year ago.
The contest itself should develop into a
good one because both boys are willing
mixers and each has good punch. with
large amount Of cleverness. OF the
two Richie is without doubt the strong
er, but in hitting White has faster left
hand and also quicker right cross than
the champion, which will even matters
to a considerable extent.
The interest in this contest is almost as
great as was that between Ritchie and
Wolgast, and the chances are that the
Auditorium will be packed with people
from all parts of the middle west when
the men get together. There are many
of the followers who look for more in
teresting battle than the one between
Wolgast and Richie. basing their opin-
ions on the fact that it will be more of
an even exchange than the former con-
test
Following close on the heels of the
Ritchie-White contest in Milwaukee. May
g. will come another important light
weight battle between Freddie Welsh, the
British champion, and Jack Britton of

ing good ball, starring in the last game
in which he appeared, while Marshall
has been hitting, and has fielded his
position at first in very creditable man

acquisitions for kenilworth.
The final game in the scholastic series
is to be played today. Central and Tech
meal are scheduled to meet. The contest
will not have any bearing on the cham

of the great rivalry between the schools.
