Harper Is Wild, but Boston
Braves Cannot Touch Him
When He Gets Ball Over
the Plate.
FINAL SCORE IS 3 TO !
Ny WILLIAM PEET.

George Stallings' Boston Braves, with
plenty of leftover ginger from the 1914
worlds series, appeared here yesterday
afternoon before the biggest crowd OF the
season thus far. All the Braves had was
ginger and abuse. the Grifmen got the
rest, a nice little to l verdict.
Victory was sweet to the home crowd
for the reason that the game was less
than one inning old when Stallings'
bunch started 20 ride young Harper
on account of his wildness, and this riled
the Nationals, who dote on scraps Of all

That's the way 1t went throughout the
combat. The Braves tried TO pull lot

BILL-WOULD ELIMINATE MANAGER p

DO4lQS DILL now D6IOFeIn6 ullOlS leg
islature was written by a man who |
knows the fight game from every an
gle. Several years ago he was one |
of the best-known fighters in the |
business and he knows whereof he |
speaks.
He is heartily in favor of boxing,
but wants the game on high plane, |
with the undesirable elements elm |
mated. He believes that the best |
way to do this is by cutting out the |
manager. Some arguments are |
heard that such a thing. is not feas-
ible. 1t has never been tried, so far |
as we know. Certainly men like |
Mike Gibbons and Ad Wolgast have |
done very well for themselves, and |
Packey Mcfarland overrules Emil
Thirty whenever the manager arrang- |
es battle which Packey doesn't like. |
Since this letter was written the |
New York legislature has passed a
measure knocking out the boxing |
commission and this bill is now up to |
Gov. Whitman for signature.
This letter is worthy of considera
ton by fans and all who have the |
real interests of the game at heart.
It follows:
At the present time boxing is fell
ony punishable with heavy fine and |
Imprisonment. To have that penalty
clause stricken out and bring box
ing within the law one would only as
sumo that some good and valid rea-
sons were advanced where some
thing that is now a felony should be
legalized. The present bill contains
nothing of a worthy character
nothing beneficial to the sport of box
ing that would call for repeal of the
present law, and while modelled after
the bills in other states it contains all
of the vicious and bad features, with
out any redeeming qualities.
