IF DARCY COMES
 TO THIS COUNTRY
 HE'LL BE SUCCESS

There seems to be a great deal of doubt whether Les Darcy actually sailed for this country yesterday or whether the reports that he was about to make the trip were built on no more solid foundation than other ru- mors of the kind which have proved to be untrue. Snowy Baker, the Aus tra1ian promoter, all along has de- nied that his one big attraction meant to leave him.
 If Darcy does come, he will be man aged while in this country by Jack Kearns of San Francisco. Kearns re- gently exhibited receipts from the steamship company as evidence that he had sent Darcy transportation and also showed wires from Darcy saying that the Australian would sail as soon as he received passage money.
 Baker was the author of the stories that the authorities would not allow Darcy to leave the country until the end of the war. However, it was to the interests of the promoter to dis courage the American promoters from trying to lure away his star card. Without Darcy, Baker would be in a bad way, for the former is the only man who can draw big houses in Aus tralia, at present.
 Other Australians of lesser note have difficulty in leaving the country and it seems rather strange that an exception should be made in Darcy's case. Darcy's arrival, whenever it does take place, will create a great deal of interest in local boxing circles According to reports of visiting box ers-and these reports are borne out E-by his record-Darc$ is the greatest
 niddl@weight since the days of Bob F'itzSimmons.

Schuyler Britton, president Of the Cardinals, is said to have. asked Hampstead to make an offer for Sal lees services. and it is considered like ly that Slim shortly will become a member of McGraws team. If the New York club will agree to hand over SIC, 900 in addition to two players, ] the transfer undoubtedly will go through
 When SalIee deserted the Cardinals z4n New York last Friday he declared that never again would he don St Louis uniform The tall pitcher said
 he is tired of St. Louis and wants a transfer. There is little chance of SaI1ee and Manager Higgins patching up their differences

ROBERTSON GETS
 PENN COACH JOB

New York, June 23.-Lawson Rob- ertson closed arrangements yesterday to coach the University of Pennsyl- vania track team, signing contract at his home in Brooklyn, where Louis c. Madeira, chairman of the univer- sity track athletics committee, called on him. The document binds Robbie for the coming college year, from Sep tember, 1916, to JIine 1917, and con- tains an option for indefinite renew al of it.
 Though technically Robertson is en- gagged only to direct the track and field athletes, he will aid materially in seeing that the football players are in good condition. After the first year it is probable that his contract also will entail his acting officially as trainer of the football squad.
 Until time for him to assume his new duties in Philadelphia Robbie will stick to his old job of coaching the Irish American A. c.

MOB SCENE IN
 DOUBLE BILL HAS
 LAUGH FOR CROWD
(By Wagner.)

Hughey Duffy could be arrested for what he thinks of Umpire Ennis and the beefy Portland manager thought out loud several times at Newfe1d park yesterday when his team was grappling in a double header with Bridgeport. In the fifth inning of the second game there was a mob scene on the diamond and the umpire sent Pitcher. George Martin of Port land to the b1ockhouse after Martin had called His Majesty out of his name. And they pay you money for doing this,' snorted Duffy in dis gust.
 The fans who were out to enjoy the bargain bill laughed themselves b1e arose after Jimmy Curry had walked in the fifth and had been fore ed at second by Ball. Baker hit a, liner to Lonergan. The latter drop ped the ball and in his anxiety to com p1ete a double play, neg1ected>to touch second before throwing to first. All hands were safe and the Portland players paid their respects to the um- pire. Then Otto Deininger rapped a double to right, scoring two runs.
 Bridgeport won this second encoun- ter by to 5. largely due to Otto Dein- inger's timely pokes and Johnny Rel gers steady hurling. Portland got 10 blows but they were we'll scattered George Martin. who started for Port hurlers in the league, but he was no puzzle to the locals After he was elected, Burning flung his left handed shoots at the batters. With the score 5 to 5 in the seventh, Bridgeport managed to nick him for the winning run on singles by Ball and Baker and Deininger's sacrifice fly.

He will succeed Harry Lord, the former White Sox star, who has been in charge of the club since the season started. Since his release by Bridge port Bou1tes has been acting as man .ager of the Remington Arms club.
 Desire to cut down expenses was the reason why Lord was let go. Lowell has been steadily losing money and the owners could not afford to pay Lord such a big salary. Barrows, the clubs best hitter, was also releas- ed to cut down expenses. Bou1tes is a heady player and ought to be a good leader. Tor Lowell. He is popular with local fans who will be glad to see him get the place.

The Bridgeport club today released Pitcher Dye. He was secured from Toronto and although he did well at the start has faded away rapidly in the last few games. The deal with Hartford for an outfiefder will be an nounced within a few days. Owner Cornen had a conference with Mag nate Clarkin of Hartford at the league meeting in New Haven last night.

 The work of the local outfield was poor. Manning had an error in each game and Deininger and Curry each made huff in the second. Deininger atoned for his misplay by scoring one run himself and driving in five of the six scored by Bridgeport.

IMPROPER MOVING PICTURES

A late Chautauqua lecturer en-
phasized the harmfulness of improp-
er moving pictures. Every thought
full father and mother should re-
member his warning.
Why guard your small boy from
the nickel novel if he is allowed to
go to some movie where he can pour
out his souls admiration on a swag
gering desperate decked out with
revolvers which it would be crime
to wear on our streets? Why pride
yourself that your youthful son has
never seen a bar-room if he can gaze
upon. life-like depletion of men
hanging over saloon counters and
drinking or dancing with cigarette
adorned females? What if your
young daughter can see all this and
top it off with a plot suggestive Cf
disloyalty of husband or wife?
Pictures of the proper kind are en-
pertaining and instructive in the
highest degree; but in an improper
picture are untold possibilities for
evil.

That so-called special dispatch
from Washington" to Senator Lea's
paper, the Nashville Tennessean, in
which the writer gratuitously spoke
of Senator Shields as the "Surly
Boss" was a bit of petty spite and
an exhibition of Immature too little
for a great newspaper, owned by a
United States Senator, and which
poses as the organ of the Democratic
party in Tennessee, to indulge in.
This paper would have been glad
to have seen Hon. Thad A. Cox
made Chairman of the State Demo-
cratic Committee, but Senators
Shields and Mcclellan had the same
right TO be for Judge Hill, if such
was the fact, that we had to be for
Mr.. Cox.
ii is said that it is customary to al
low the candidate for Goeernor to
tee. We deny that there was any
such custom in Tennessee. But if
there has been such a custom it is
tine for it to be abolished since we
now elect United States senators by
the people. Why should the candi-
date for Governor have the right to
select a Chairman in preference to
the candidate for Senator? Is not
thu latter of equal dignity and inn
portance? Even If the candidates
for Governor and Senator should
agree as to who they wanted for
Chairman ii is not their provence to
make the selection. That is duty
which devolves upon the members of
the State Committee. The commit
tee has made its selection and there
should be no more friction, but all
Democrats should rally to the sup
