WHITE WELCOMED
BY WESTERN FANS
Expect Chicago Boy to Become
Lightweight Champion
of the World.

San Francisco, July 24.-Charley
White, Americas leading hope for the
lightweight championship, arrived
here yesterday, and the greeting he
got from local pugilistic fans and
newspapers would have made an hon
est-to-goodness title-holder turn green
with envy. There was a crowd of
fight bugs at the depot and Charley
White chances, looks and prospects
was the main topic of discussion all
along fight row during the day.
Whites first appearance here will
be against Joe Azevado, the Oakland
Portuguese, whom coast fans thought
would be the next lightweight leader.
He won all of his contests out here
and then went east and took an awful
Iacing from White at Racine, Wis. Oak
land pugs cannot believe this, hence
the return match out here.
In discussing the Azevado fight yes
terday White left the impression that
he was signed to meet the local idol
not because he expected to gain any
thing by beating him, but because he
wants to get started right before Frisco
enthusiasts. This fellow is the big
gest joke fighter In the country"
White told a local admirer. He can't
fight a lick and / could tie one hand
behind me and beat him at will I
took this match because think II will

Galesburg was the best of the three

however, that the team will draw well

Newark, n. j., July 24.-With Clar-
ence o. Kraft appearing daily in
Newark uniform, the first bit of
trouble between the Players fraternity
and organized baseball has been
smoothed over; but the victory of the
union will have big influence on the
future relations between baseball
magnates and players.
Players in the major leagues now
league magnates must cover before
their fraternity, or run the risk of
losing many of their best men to the
Feds.
The facts in the Kraft case, which
apparently are misunderstood in
some quarters, are as follows:
Kraft was this year turned over by
his owner the Brooklyn National
league club, to the Newark club Of
the International league. But for
mer owner" the Nashville club of
the Southern association, laid claim
to his services. The dispute between
the Newark and Nashville clubs was
carried to the national commission,
the supreme tribunal of the baseball
world, and Kraft was awarded to
Nashville.
The Newark club is of a higher
classification than the Nashville club,
and, to play with the latter, Kraft
would have been forced, but baseball
law, to accept a salary cut of $3.50 a
month. He declined to go to Nash
Vile and was suspended from or
ganized baseball. The Players fra
ternity demanded that he be rein
stated and permitted to play wtth
Newark. The big magnates, fright
ened when a general major league
strike was threatened. persuaded
Newark to pay Nashville a bonus OF
$4,000 to give up all claims to the
services of Kraft.
Kraft has had a rather varied ex-
perience in baseball. A Toledo scout
dug him up in the Kitty league dur
ing the season of 1910. He was then
a pitcher. Instead of going with the
Toledo club on the training trip the
following spring, he was sent along
with the Cleveland Maps to Alex
andria Soon after he was turned
over to Flint in the South Michigan
league. He remained there two
years, one as first baseman, the other
as outfielder. Toledo then recalled
him and turned him over to New Or.
leans, Nashville taking him by the
waiver route last year.
