JENNINGS FAVORS CURING ROWDYISM
 OF LOUD HOOTERS

New York, July 1S.-Manager Jen- ican league, has a bone to pick with the fan of his circuit. Hugh Ambrose believes that the fan has not. kept pace with progress in baseball. He made marvellous strides as far as personality and conduct are con- cerned, the onlooker has changed lit- tie from the "gooA old days of cpl thets and more solid missiles. Jen- Things unlinbered his verbal artillery before the, doings at the Polo grounds yesterday.I Hughey was answering a question; a question as. to why magnates in the field of organized baseball allowed loud-mouthed, boisterous fans to insult ball players by allowing them to slath- CT their profane comments through the grand stand and two bit section without taking adequate means to guard it.
 Not that Hughey objects to having a fan ride contract slave. Not at all. F
 Stop a fan from yelling and mak- ing a noise and you take the color from the game" quoth he, his blue eyes twinkling. "Often after the opr posing team makes a rally somebody will yell from the stand, How do you like that, eh?' and all I can do is to try to come back
 What I object to is this: A fan will get up and deliberately shout an insulting epithet at a ball player-a personal epithet that has nothing to do with his playing ability or any act of his on the ball field. This can and must be stopped. Ban Johnson prob ably has done more to put the game on the basis where you can take your wife. sister or sweetheart to the game, Knowing that she will be perfectly safe there, than anybody else. The players have done their share But some of the patrons haven't done their part. They use language, directed at the players, that is not fit for any person to hear"
 Whereupon Jennings unfolded his plan by which baseball can be purged or rowdies in the stand just as it is being cleansed gradually of rowdy players.
 "The evil could be checked readily if the owners wanted to do it. I do not know the pay the policemen get who are stationed there, but I feel sure that it would not cost much more to have several plain clothes men in the grand stand and bleachers.
 Them continued the old co-star of Willie Keeler. John McGraw and Will liam Robertson and the man who pi- loted the Bengals to three pennants,
 when man said something objec- tlonable he would be spotted immedi- ately by the detective and escorted to the street, with a return of his admis- sion money. Let the papers give pub- llclty to such an election, if it should
 De put into effect, and the fans soon would come to realize that there is a difference between riding a man and openly insulting him.
 Profane language drives away wo- men from the game as well as many men, and it would be to the interest of the public as well as the player to have the thing stopped for once and aH."

JOE WELLING IS
 ENTITLED TO GET
 CHANGE AT WELSH

New York. July 18.-The selection of an opponent for Freddie Welsh in the proposed match at Washington Park the latter part of this month has been left to the boxing experts of the various New York newspapers. It was originally planned to put Tom my Murphy, great fighter in his day, but whose day has long since passed, against him. The proposal raised a howl of protest from fans and writers, and also from Welsh himself The latter became so stirred up over the adverse criticism that Harry Pollok, his manager, notified the Washington Park promoters to name his oppo- nent.
 ITO show that the present crop of lightweights all look the same to Welsh" says Pollok in a letter to the club, The Is willing to waive his priv ileges as champion to select his own opponent, and will let the public and press name the lightweights who shall !, oppose him on July 2S. What do you say?''
 I Dan McKettrick, matchmaker of tthe Washington Park Club, passes the buck directly to the sporting writ CTS.
 Welsh is to be commended for the sfpnd he has taken. In leaving the selection of his opponent to, the pulp He he is acting as a true champion should. The choice is rather a diff flcult one. Benny Leonard undoubt- edly would be the popular favorite for the match, although Johnny Dun- dee, despite his defeat by Leonard, still
 has strong following which would
 urge his nomination. It Is common l gossip among boxing enthusiasts who generally have the Inside dope" on all
 big matches that Leonard is the boy lwho will face Welsh, and that it has
 been so intended all along. notwith- standing all talk about matching an- other with him. The Murphy match. they argue, was merely announced to ] stir up. publicity for the event. If the
 matter was left to a popular vote Leon- ard certainly would be elected. How ever, there are one or two other light
 weights whom the promoters could
 stack against the champion.
 | While Leonard and Dundee are the foremost rivals of the champion. there
 is one man who deserves more recog-
 milton than he is getting. That man
 is Joe Yelling, the Chicago light
 weight. In our opinion Yelling is
 deserving of rating with both Leon
 ard and Dundee. He lacks the pres
 tige that the latter two have, but this
 Is because te has not had the oppor-
 tunity to build up a local following.

SIGNS TO
 TAKE ON LEONARD

New York. July Is-Negotiations were concluded last night for a ten round bout between Freddie Welsh. the lightweight champion, and Benny Leonard. the Harlem lightweight, at the Washington Park Sports club in Brooklyn on the night of Friday, July 2s. Welsh and Leonard met some time ago in a ten round bout at Mad ison Square Garden and the local lad received the popular decision. Leon- ard has since been clamoring for a return engagement. confident that he can score knockout over the Eng fish boxer and thereby gain the light weight title.

It was expected that final arrange ments for the sale of Harry Cornen' s half interest in, the Bridgeport club to the American Chain Co. Athletic as- sociation would be completed at a meeting held this afternoon. Nego- tiations between Cornen and the Chain Co have been in progress for several dayse and only a few minor deails remained to be settled before the ath- letic association became the sole own CT of the local franchise.
 Cornen has dropped a large bank roll in trying to conduct baseball In this city. He will be glad to retire When Gus Knorr dropped out of the partnership Cornen lost an able f1nan- cial packer. There have been many bills due within the past few weeks and Cornen found himself in financial difficulties. By getting entire control of the club the Chain Go. boys will also secure a lease on Newfield park where they intend to conduct football games in the autumn.
 AS soon as the papers are signed Manager Healy will get busy trying in an effort to strengthen the club The team needs hitters and the addi. ton of an experienced catcher and a right fielderswho can clout, will help wonderfully.
