SUCCESS OF PLAYER
DEPENDS ON PILOT

Very often the success OF a ball player
depends altogether upon the way he is
handled by bosses. Under the subordins-
ton OF one type OF leader he will be a
success; under another Of different mold
he may be a fat failure. The case OF
Rube MarQuart, the temPeramentsl left
handler, is an excellent illustration.
During the early part Of his career
with the Giants, Marquard showed
nothing. eIt looked for a time as II the
club had foozled in paying Sll.OOO for
him. And then Wilbert Robinson. the
greatest salver in baseball" took unto
himself the Job as coach OF the Giant
pitchers. Marquard passed from the
domination Of McGraw TO that OF Robin
son.
And MarQuard, almost miraCulously.
developed into a star. McGraw's way OF
handling him hadn't helped. He needed
some one like Robinson to stiffen his
backbone with praise; some one to tell
him-and keep telling him-that he was
the greatest pitcher in the league. His
temperament required Robinson's ''sslve''
treatment, not McGraw's bulldozinE.

THE KID VETERAN
OF ROPED ARENA

ring veteran at IS! Such is the unique
distinction by Irish Patsy Cline, the local
lad whose ambition IT is to become light
weight champion Of the world at 90 The
Irish" clings to Patsy's name, as 1t
serves to distinguish him from the old
time Jersey feather-weight
Patsy is typically Irish. His fighting
proves that much. He is the first OF the
leading light-weights since the palmy
days of Jack McAuliffe who can claim
Ireland for his birthplace. Patsy was
born in County Longford Just eighteen
years ago. At the tender age of a year
he was brought to this country to be
developed into a lightweight champion.
Young Cline has just graduated into
the lightweight division after nearly
three years of sensational work as a
feather-weight. At 10 he was a profess
sional boxer, and he intends to remain
in the game until after several years
reign as lightweight king.

NOSES OUT MIDDIES
Powerful Smoky City Team Is Given
Great Battle by Annapolis Crew.

Annapolis, Nd, Oct. 1L-The powerful
football machine OF the University OF
Pittsburgh, virtually the same combina-
ton that administered a crushing defeat
to the Annapolis Midshiprnen last season,
rolling up more than forty points, had
its hands full IN the annual contest on
Farragut Field this afternoon, and the
Smoky City lads barely emerged as VIC
tors after a bitter struggle. The final
count was Pittsburgh, %; Navy, 19.
Each Of the teams registered three
touchdowns but the visitors were success
ful at two Of their attempts at goals,
against Nays one, otherwise the final
score would have stood at twenty all
II was after the Navy's third touchdown,
that Hoffman, who had booted one Of the
goals previously. fell down in an easy
effort.
True the breaks favored the Midship-
men, but at that they put up a mighty
good game all the way. both extensively
and defensively. Reference to the breaks
is made by reason OF the fact that the
Pittsburghers were guilty OF several mis-
cradle fumbles, two OF which placed the
sal lads in advantageous positions to
score two Of their touchdowns. Lineup

We can never stand for that Baseball

There Is some house-cleaning to be done

The world series must again be made
the Institution Of the real supporter of
the game, not q sflk-stocking event; and
II must be done right away. I am for
making the series an entertainment for
the fans that support the pennAnt-
winning teams Of the two major leagues.
The regular patrons should be given the
first chance to secure world series tickets
for themselves, their families and their
friends. The American League shall ad-
vocats a minimum admission. In no
case should the prices OF seats be more
than doubled II there remain among
the club owners any who place the

CHANGES LOOK GOOD
FOR DISTRICT BOXING
With Election of Charles E. Hughes
Representative Cary Will Be Chair
man of District Committee.
By JOHN A. DUGAN.

The tip is out, and be sure that you
vote the right way.
In the Republican circles here It Is
whispered about that Representative
Cary. of Wisconsin. will be the next
chairman OF the District committee, pro-
viding Of course that Charles Evans
Hughes, Republican Presidential candi-
date romps in with a victory over Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson on November 7.
The big reason why the sporting ele-
ment in the District of Columbia should
become greatly enthused over the pres
ent political situation, brings to bear
broad facts OF but one issue, and that is
local sporting followers want boxing in
the District.
The naming of Representative Cary
as chairman Of the District committee,
should Mr.. Hughes land the big issue,
brings a bright and rosey prospect to
once more have boxing in the District.
Representative Cary is the father of
the District boxing bill which was in
troduced to the committee last spring,
and which has been In the pigeon hold
and will remain there until next March.
With Representative Cary as the chair
man of the committee 1t is almost a
sure bet this will be one Of the first
bills to be acted upon, and If the chair
man cannot come somewhere near put
ting over his own bill, answer the ques-
ton, who can?
Local fight fans will not be compelled
to wait until after the passing Of the Dis
trtct boxing bill to witness the gladiators
Of the roped arena in action, as Jimmy
La Fontaine, president OF the Maryland
Athletic and Social Club, has come out
OF his hiding place and a bout is to
be held at the Ardmore club in the near
future.
Joseph Ollvert. the hustling manager of
the Vigilsnt Athletic Club football eleven,
is being talked Of as the manager of
the Maryland club. LaFontaine will
make the matches and Oliveri will take
care of the arrangements for the fans.
Should oltveri be put in charge at Ard
more there is no doubt the fans will be
furnished better accommodations both on
the railroad trains and at the club
With the announcement that the Ard
more Club would open in the near future
comes challenges galore. Young Thomas,
the local feather-weight champion, on
hearing that fights would be again carded
at Ardmore comes through with a
sweeping def to Egan.
Thomas is seeking another engage
ment with Egan and is willing to meet
the fast little battler in a hfteen-round
mill for 800 side bet. Thomas claims
that the result OF the last bout was
very unsatisfactory to him and he is
anxious to get another crack at Egan
to regain his lost laurels.
Talk is floating around to book Tommy
Lowe, the local lightweight, who came
out of retirement the other day and
hammered frankie Mcclure, for ten
rounds with Andy Cortez, the New York
slugger. II the bout between Lowe and
Cortez cannot materliaze there is talk OF
booking Cortez with Willie Houck, the
sensational Philadelphia lightweight.
The fans will remember we'll the great
battle these boys put up in their last
encounter at the Maryland club and they
will no doubt be given the call
