will also be played in one of the out
field positions
Manager Foil will pitch Collamore,
the American Associa ton twirler who
beat johnson in Cleveland on the last
trip, though Walter struck out twelve
men He was beaten to 0.
Collamore has always been success
full against the Griffmen. but with four
recruits in the lineup today there may
be a different story to tell. The game
will be called at O'Clock.
Charles j. Somers. owner of the
Cleveland club, is ma king the trip with

team to play havoc with the Boston

Rowland's pitchers are not on edge,
but he has a wonderful offensive team.
There are Murnhy f. Collins, FOurnler,

when they start on a pitcher it's good

Just what the makeup of the Ma

before the game. Some of the veterans
are entitled to rest, and most of
them want to lay off, long siege OF
double-headers having fatigued them.

squad now numbers twenty-seven. more
than at any previous time in its his

there have been seasons when the Hill

The fact that Georgetown now has

which has not been difficult at ALL The
\ Blue and Gray squad is composed at
present of experienced men from pre-
paratory and high schools from vari-
Gus sections and few veterans of the
twenty seven. and it is still a week
from the opening of the college and
two weeks before the law and medical
schools begin their sessions. There are
several newcomers that have shown
exceptional capabilities. and it appears

be much superior to that of 1914. The

Wild, Brokaw, Knox and Lewis Sur
yiye for Semi-fnals.

NEW YORK. September 11.-Firsf
and second rounds of match play were
in order yesterday in the invitation
golf tournament of the Rumson Coun-
try Club. AS a result Edwin N. Wild
of Crawford will play George T. Brokaw
of the home organization in the top
half of the semi-final bracket today,
while /. C. Knox. another local player
and Reginald NJ. Lewis of Ridgefeld
will fight it out in the lower half.
Instead of playing off for the medal
in the qualifying round. for which
LewiS~and Wild tied the first day with
IS each, it was decided to toss a coin
for it, and Lewis was the winner. The
young man from Connecticut had no
difficulty in defeating j.. Prentice KEEL
logg, but found his work cut out for
him to eliminate Quentin Feitner of
South Shore. Lewis was up at the
turn. and although Feftner won the
eleventh and twelfth, the metropolitan
Junior runner-up was able to settle ac-
counts on the fourteenth. fifteenth and
sixteenth holes
E. Mortimer Barnes. secretary of the
Metropolitan Golf Association, first
took the measure of David H. McAlpin,
Cd, of Morris county. but through poor
driving was later eliminated by Knox.
There will be handicap today in con-
junction with the semi-finai' and hnal
matches.

Gibbons is a sigh: favorite, for the
main reason that he has been fighting
right along, while Mcfarland has not
taken part in ring battle for quite a
length of time His long absence from
the ring has caused many to believe
that the Chicago man needs bout or
two in order to bring him UP to Il fight
with a man of Gibbons caliber.
Both men have trained carefully and
earnestly. Each apparently believes
that he will win. One thing is certain,
and that is both will be down to the
stipulated weight.
There has been a big advance sale of
seats for the event, and there is every
indication that the attendance will far
outnumber any which has been seen at
bouts In the open in this country.
In physical measurement Gibbons has
some advantage over his opponent. He
is five feet nine inches in height, to
McFariand's five feet seven inches. and
in arm reach he has three inches the
better of it, his reach being seventy
two inches, to siXty-nine for McFar-
land.
In chest measurement Mcfarland is
superior his normal measurement
being thirty-nine inches. to thirty-six
and three-quarter inches for Gibbons.
Mcfarland also shows greater girth,
the tape indicating thirty-three inches
for Mcfarland about the waist, to
twenty-nine and one-half for Gibbons.

The Cleveland club was improved about
Jackson. The acquisition of Roth and

Indians than Jackson ever was. and the team

quite ball team, and the disposing of
Jackson did much to bring this about.
With Maranyille out of the Braves line
up. probably for the rest of the season,
there is little hope for the Boston Braves
in the present campaign, though it is the
best hustling team in the old league. But
to have a player of Maranville:s ability

What should prove one of the great
est boxing exhibitions in the history
of the prize ring is slated to take place
at Brighton Beach tonight, when
Packey Mcfarland and Mike Gibbons
meet in Il ten-round bout. Two more

never faced each other in the squared

that ever witnessed a limited-round

AS to the probable outcome of this
sterling contest. it looks very much
as if Gibbons would prove his rivals
master In the first place, Gibbons
has been active in the ring for several
years. He has not fought enough to

wear himself out. but he has kept busy
enough not to lose his cunning. There
is no greater boxer than he and he
can be relied upon to be at his best
tonight.
Mcfarland is probably Handicapped
by the fact that he has not fought
in two years. This may be his fare
well appearance. for he is to get
dollar purse. There is no decision
given.
The resignation of Fred Clarke from
club was to be expected. Clarke has
been in base ball since 1894, every
year of which he has spent in the
employ of Barney Dreyfuss. He has
been most successful manager but
he has also been able to make some
very good investments, thanks to the
aid of his employer, and is today one
of the wealthiest men in base ball.
Clarke has tired of being active in the
sport.
Being away from his Kansas ranch
every year most of the time no longer
suits him. and it was only because it
pleased Dreyfuss that he remained
with the club for the past few years.
1t was Fred Clarke who first ap-
preached Walter johnson in behalf of
Griffith, after he had jumped to the

to the johnson home for Manager
Griffith to confer with him last winter.
as result of which Johnson returned
to the Nationals fold.
When man manages a ball team
after his playing days are over, it is
very wise for him to confine himself
to those duties and not attempt to
break into the actual playing of the
game. Nothing turns the fans quicker
against a leader than when he uses
poor judgment regarding himself
Bill Donovan is not apt to ever finish
a game again for his team. His ex-
perience the other day, when. with his

finished his pitching career.
Harry Wolverton made a similar mis-
take while in charge of the New York
club. He put himself in as pinch
hitter on several occasions and in
variably struck out. Naturally, he got
in bad. The wise manager lets his
players do the playing. even if he feels
that there is some base ball left in
him.

An interesting story is told in Cleve-
land of Outfielder Jimmy Eschen prac-
tically sending himself back to the
minors. Eschen was with Cleveland in
Washington and expressed himself as
homesick. Manager Foil rather short
ly told him to go home. Foil meant
Brooklyn, where Eschen lives. expect
ing the player to visit there day or
two and then rejoin the team Eschen
thought Foil meant back to Cleveland
SO he departed for that city. Arriving
there, the club officials presumed Foil
had decided not TO use the player any
more, SO he was sent to the Clevela nd
American Association team. Foil, how
ever, had no such intentions, but since
Eschen had joined the Spiders he de-
c!ded to let him stay there.
