New York, Aug. 2s-The famous Oar
Mcketrick, manager and fight promoter
is himself authority for the statement
that frankie Callahan lis some fighter.
In letter the noble Dan says:
Callahan. the Brooklyn lightweight
has wonderful record. but failed to re-
ceive the recognition he deserved as ne
was not properly handled. He has just
come under my management and you
will find him fighting for the champion.
ship this fall
Dan goes on to say that Callahan
stopped Joe Rivers in two rounds, and
in five rounds stopped Jack Reid, the
Australian lightweight brought to this
country by Joe Woodman and Sam Lang
ford. He also credits Callahan with a
popular decision over Johnny Dundee
and alleges that the little Brooklyn lad
really knocked out Joe Mandot in Men,
phis. McKetrick says that Callahan had
Mandot stiff on the floor with the referee
at the count of nine when they pulled
the bell on him. Jimmy Duffy. Tommy
Murphy and Sam Robideau were also
victims of Callahan, according to Dan.
From all of this We gather that Nc
Ketrick thinks he has added another
winner to his stable of fighters. Time
will tell and perhaps soon, as McKetrick
is negotiating for some bouts for Gala
han in the near future.

Iigidly enforced.
Frederick won the pennant by reason
of her clean and snappy fielding. With a
team of consistent fieders. she took the
lead early in the season and was never
headed off At one time 1t looked like

would slug her way to the front, and
when the teams squared away the first of
August for the last month of play. bets
were freely made that Martinsburg would
win out. The locals. however. went from
bad TO worse in their fielding. throwing
away game after game by errors with
men on the base paths, until she dropped
behind and gradually faded from the
race. The Martinsburg team went
through the entire season without a first
basoman OF even mediocre ability.
The initial sack was played at different
times during the season by Morris. Dom
nelly. Durburow. Shipley, Johnson. Num-
ford and keener. neither of which was a
first baseman except Keener. who was
yanked from the league because of his
irregular standing in organized baseball,
just after he had demonstrated his fit
ness for the position. Keener formerly
played with the Chicago Nationals. and
was farmed to the Fort Wayne team. He
later became dissatisfied and jumped
Fort Wayne. landing in the Cumberland
League. up in Western Maryland, where
mis- hitting attracted attention. The Mar
tinsburg management will secure his re-
instatement before next season opens,
and the locals will then have a first base
man who will probably be allowed to
play only one season in the bushes before
being yanked higher up.
The Martinsburg club gained fame dur
ing the season chiefly by reason OF its
hitting prowess. Reggie Rawlings, a
Washington boy and the locals left
fielder. has led the league in hitting all
season. closely followed by Manager
Country Morris and Right Fielder Bill
Donnolly, of Washington; George
''Stuffy" johnson. the catcher. a Balti-
more boy: Center Fielder Durborow, who
came here from the South Atlantic
League. and Short Long. another
Washington boy secured from the Pc
tersburg club of the Virginia League.
These six men have an average of 800
or better for the season. and while the
official averages will not be available for
several days, 1t is believed that Rawlings,
Johnson and Morris are the three league
leaders.
Another good hitter was Stewart
Hayes. a Washington boy. who played
the short field in brilliant style and
clouted the ball close to the 300 mark.
The hitting of Rawlings, johnson and
Morris was noteworthy from the number
of extra-base hits they secured. In long
distance hitting these three men are far
in the lead of all other hitters in this
league. Johnson was especially noted for
his two-base drives to left field, he get
ting more of these hits than any other
player in the league. Shipley, Mary
land Agricultural College boy. who
wound I'D the season at second base.
where he put up a great game, did not
do so well with the stick. although he
secured a good many timely wallops.

UP TO 21.PLAYER RULE.
Expert Claims League Ruling Cause
Of ClOsenesa of Race.

New York. August H.-Some Of our
very best little experts attribute the
closeness Of the National League race to
the twenty zone player rule. This radical
move In the old league has made the
teams more evenly balanced than In 9TH
er years because II has prevented the
wealthier clubs from getting a big edge
on the poorer ones by purchasing Q
swarm OF valuable reserves.
Charley Ebbets. owner Of the Dod-
gers, fathered the twenty-one- player
rule. When he proposed II last winter he
met considerable opposition. but he
pointed out its good qualities and finally
was able to put II through.
