New York, Aug. 7.-Char1ey Weinert and Jim Savage finally came to terms yesterday after weeks of wrangling and signed to meet at Madison Square Garden in a ten-round bout on Aug. 31. Both boxers are from New Jersey and. like Coffey and Reich, have been rivals for the past few years.
 Weinert's victories over Coffey and Smith prompted him to demand a big guarantee to meet Savage, but the lat ter held out for an equal share of the receipts on account of his easy victory over Al Reich recently. Previous at tempts to match the pair have been fu- tile

BILL DAHLEN MAY GET UMPIRE JOB
 IN THE NATIONAL

New York, Aug. Bill Dahlen. who started his active big league ca reer with Cap Anson's Chicago Colts and wound up as manager of the Brooklyn Superbas, stands a mighty good chance of getting a position as umpire in the National League Dah- len is sponsored by some of the big gest men in baseball and on account of there being a vacancy on the staff through the recent resignation of Bill Hart, President Tener may appoint Daihlen to wear the blue uniform of the National League arbiter.
 Bill ideally is fitted for the position. AS a star player and manager Bill had twenty-five years valuable expert ence and he knows the rule book from cover to cover. Bill is a cool, col 1ected parsonage and has nerves that even Johnny Evers can't grate on. Dahlen has been umpiring serni-pro- fessional games at Degnon Field.

MeGraw Thinks Klem
 Is Only Good Umpire

5 It is highly improbable that John K. Tener president of the National League will take cognizance of state ments made by John AIcGraw, in his weekly letter on the National League race, in which he declares that Klem is practically the only competent urn- pire on the circuit, and openly accuses Nal Eason of rendering close play de- cieionsz against the Giants, because of alleged difference between Fason and the New York manager, writes Ralph Davis in the Pittsburgh Press.
 The only unpires McGraws ever could 'tsee'' were the ones that gave the Giants the best of it. and there has been more than one of them in the his- tory of the league since lawn J. be- came a manager. His tribute to K1em is more of a knock than a boost. al- though there is no doubt as to Bill's ability.

LEvtNSkY WINNER
 OVER COLIN BELL

Far Rockaway, N. r., Aug. 7.-Colin Bel, the Australian heavyweig ght champion, and Battling Levinsky, the local fayorite, fought ten rounds last night at Bill Browns club here, and Levinsky won on points Bell was badly punished about the nose and hps, while Levinskys body was a mass of bruises from the heavy right hand rib smashes sent over by Colin Bell
 Ievinsky's weight was announced as 185 pounds and Bells as f95s For a man of his weight the Australian champion proved the fastest man ever seen in 8 ring here. At one time Bell ducked out from under one of Levin- sky's swings with such speed that the Ghetto champion went sprawling on the. canvas from his own momentum. He scorned a count and jumped right back into the battling again.
 After the bout Bell declared he would take a couple of days rest and then resume his training for what he expects will be another tough battle against Porky Flynn, from Boston, whom Bell fights twelve rounds in the Arena, New Haven, on August Is.

In return the club agrees to play free baseball every ioaYz m the week except Saturdays and Sundays, when asnomina1 admission charge will be maHe.s Municipal parks and piers are not new, but baseball clubs under practically the same classification are a bit advanced to say the least. It may, however, be but the forerunner of government ownership of the big league.
 Joe Tinker, manager of the Chicago Federals, has not reached the free or municipal owned baseball club but rre does believe that the general scale of prices in. the biz leagues could stand 9 little pairing down. He suggests that the tariff range as follows: Box seats. 75c; grand stand. soc; pavilion. 25cs bleachers, 15c. E1aborating on. this idea, Tinker says:a A
 9tTI1e time is sure to come when the fans will not be asked to pay such. high prices for seeing Baseball. It is kasling too much of the public to pay 25. 50, 75 cents and $1 every day to see a baseball game, which lasts less than two hours T believe if the price of the lbleaehers was reduced to I5 cents it would more than double the patronage, and the same would hold good in the 5payiIions, grand stand and box seats.
 4Alnost any one can afford a. dime or quarter, but ask them to give up z 5. cents and $1 and they turn a deaf ear. If were the president of the Federal league I would cut the acs mission fee down to the prices I have su suggested, and I believe it would pay f-Iz5 when the new lea que is putting up just as good an article of ball as any other big league

.M'l0UGHLIN WINS
 FROM WIL LLIAMS IN
 HOT TENNIS MATCH

Brookline, Mass, Aug. 7-Maurice E. Mclaughlin of San Francisco ob- tained permanent possession of the famous Longwood tennis bowl yester- day, when he defeated R. Norris Will Hams, 2d, of Harvard, the national the tournament on the courts of the Longwood Cricket club 3 sets to 1 at 643, 6-3, 246, 6-2.
 The match will go down in tennis history as the greatest played in the oldest tournamentj under the auspices of the National Association, and by winning, the California player proved that no mistake was made when, al though beaten at Newport by Will Hams last year, he was ratedNth best tennis player in the United States.
 Mclaughlin. had he displayed any such .tennis in the national char1pi on- ship last year, when Williams astound- ed the tennis world by whipping him for the honors, as he did today, he would never have been humbled. Ex- perts declare that there never has been a match like it between the champion and, runner-ups which re- suited yesterday. No important match probably has been played under worse conditions of weather and turf. It drizzled all afternoon and the courts were in bad shape. In spite of this fact the two greatest tennis players in the country battled for an hour and a half.e
 The Harvard player was nervous throughout overlooking the fact that the court was soft and slippery, and thus manys points he dropped were due te that fact. Mclaughlin was steady at all times. which had more to do with his victory than anything else. He abandoned his dashing net4as saulting game entirely and scrambled after the ball. Tn doing this he dis played "a varied repertoire of strokes larger than his opponent.

SYSTEM USE BY SCOUTS
 PROVES DEFECTNE E
Worcester Post)-

Numerous fizzles of promising young. players in the big leagues these days will in time bring about as change of the present methods employed by the. tenn is far from being satisfactofy to the big league clubs and the minor. lea gue organizations4 Just as soon as some scout hears of a promising play CT he immediately takes asday off and watches the lad perform. Sometimes a player under the Watchfdl eye of a scout works at his best, but in a ma jority of cases he is usually nervous and fails to live up tosthe praise which preceded the visit of the scout and the result is he is cast aside. Other times so1Ns players are only flashes. in the pan, they bob up like worIdsbeaters for a short period and then are plucked he does not make good in the majors injures the bi-- league team and also the minor league club, Both leagues lose money on the deal.
 It is believed that t1lettinae will come when scouts will be forced to give
 more time to certain leagues and more attention to the Stars of the smaller leagues. If a scout was assigned to a league for one month and gave every club in the circuit his attention, it is not probable that he would pick many lemons His long stay would give him plSHty oI tIIHe Io DICK out the IauIlS or each performer and then make 9 clear report to his club. The big league club would benefit by such a move in the end, and the minor leagues chances of getting more of it's performers into the graduating class would be better. Nowadays scout does not stay long enough in a city to learn the route to a bal park, and even the. best man in the game cannot pass Judgment on a ball player by watching him in one game.
