Manager Johnston Full OF
Match Making Ideas for
Big Arena

The modelling OF the cauiiHoWer
ears for the winter drive has begun.
II has now been settled definitely
that James Johnston, the boy bandit
of Madison Square, will handle the
match making at Madison Square Car
den and the head of the said bandit =
filed with ideas as 10 how legallzea
assault and battery may be made most
attractive in the coming season.
Charlie Weinert, Of Budapest, Hun
gary. and Newark. and Bob Mona, me
Wisconsin lumberJack, were scneduled
TO open the season at the Garden theF
performance 20 be followed by oouI
between Frank Moran and Frederick
Fulton, the ferocious and form DAP
nlasterer Of Rochester, MINI. But, IN
the meantime, James Johnston was
forced 20 put Up a battle Tor the
rnanagerghiD Of the Garden, and the
matches were automatically declared
off.
Right now the matches planned are
in the tentative stages, Dut some OF
them appear attractive. Johnston
plans to open with a bout between
Frank Moran and Weinert. Failing
that, the opening session OF the Oaraeh
will stage Moran and Fulton.
This scheme may be upset by the
Boxing Commission, which may INSIST
that the promoters first stage the
Weinert-Moha bout. If tins should
bappen Manager Johnston will have for
the next bout ten-round go between
the winner and Jack Dillon.
Frank Moran is burning with ann
ton 10 open the Garden season. he
has brought himself into fighting trim
by his work for Carl Morris and mas
become impatient because OF the en-
forced idleness. Moran Is willing -
meet either Fulton or Weinert on
percentage basis and afterward ne
wants 70 meet Dillon 20 erase the
memory Of a certain little affair a.
Washington Park this summer.
Ike Dorgan, the wealthy man@gen OF
Moran. also is becoming impatient
over the enforced idleness OF his
charge. Idle prizefghters are apt TO
pauperize their managers. Isaac mas
not vet heard the bark OF the wolf
but he Is ready 70 sign Moran with
ANYBODY right now.
Joe yelling and Irish Patsy Cline
have been matched TO box before tn
Manhattan Athletic Club October 81.
After that Jack Dillon and Battling
Levinsky will do their celebrated
brother act at the same club.

1T takes two 20 make an argument

my colleagues. And think can
safely promise fandom on behalf Of
the American League that a scale Of
prices more just 70 the purse OF the
great general public which supports
the game will prevail in future. Far

preciate that the world series has out

DIVIDE SPOnS

Both Carrigan and Pitcher
Foster Announce Retire
ment from Game

Boston. Oct. I3.-The Boston Amer.
leans to-day divided the winners
spoils Of the world series, which they
closed with victory over the Brook
Ign Nationals here yesterday. Under
the apportionment decided upon by the
players at secret meeting full
shares Of s3,s26.25 each were given
twenty-five players, including several
who had figured but little in the
teams success.
The remainder Of the ss7,756F
which the team won VAS given other
substitutes and club employees. Heinis
Wagner and Vesn Gregg received
,hree-auarters OF share each,
Wyckof and Pennock divided ons
share. and Walsh, who came 20 the
team only in the last month OF the
season, was allowed $1,000.
Edward Riley. the former secretary,
and Charles Green, the club trainer,
were given $500 each, and other en-
ployes were remembered with lesser
sums down 20 the bat boy an mascot,
who received $50.
Bill Carrigan's Farewell
The meeting OF the players was
marked by the farewell OF Manager
William Carrigan 20 the team which
he had ploted 70 world honors in two
successive years. He said he was
through with baseball for all time"
President Lannin. in bidding the
players godspeed, however. said he was
still hoping that Carrigan would re-
turn.
George Foster, former crack pitch
err, who suffered from lame arm this
season, notwithstanding which he
pitched a no-hit game, also announced
his retirement. He will develop his
farm at Bokoshe, Okla, he said. CARR
gan's plans are uncertain. He laughed
at reports that he would enter poll
tics.
To Play Exhibition Game
Some Of the Red Sox will remain to-
gether for a few days to play an ex-
hibition game at New Haven next
Sunday. when they will be managed
by Captain Jack Barry. Others start
ed in their motors to-day for trips
that will take them TO huntino pre-
serves in Canada or 10 their homes
in distant places, some in California.
Csrrigan will have party at his
camp at Lake Annabessscook, Maine,
and a number of the players who are
married will take their families in a
group to Plymouth, n. H., for short
hunting trip.
An offer Of Mayor Curley TO provide
banquet for the team was refused
with thanks, the players desiring to
follow their original plans.

Scale of Prices Must Be More Just
to Purse Strings of General Public

70 secure world series tickets FOR them
selves, their families and their friends.
There is no danger Of these loyal EEL
lows specializing with the pasteooards.
"The American League shall sdVo-
cate a minimum admission. In no case
should the prices Of any seats be more
than doubled. Personally | would
favor playing at the prices which pre-
vail throughout the season, though |
realize that II this scale were adopted
the prize money for the players would
suffer accordingly.
81 do not believe that the public
would murmur at slight raise IN
prices over the regular tariff for an
event of the class and merit Of a
world championship. The high priced
seats should be limited in the interests
of the dollar seats, and in parks Of
large capacity there should also be
plenty Of 50-cent seats for the en-
thusiasts who can afford TO pay no
more. The world series must be made
an institution of the public that sup
ports the game not during the short
world championship series, but through
out the lOng-drawn pennant struggles
Late Season Trades
President Johnson also is Of the opn-
ion that steps should be taken speedily
to eliminate another menace that has
crept into the game. He does not be-
leve in late season trades. He thinks
that deals which strengthen pennant
contenders reflect on the integrity of
the game.
I'VE must get out the big stick and
purge the sport Of that apparent mer-
cenary flavor which has crept in Of
late" said the American League ex-
ecutiye.
81, as head of great major league,
am bound 70 strike, let the blow fall
where IL may. There are principles for
which | intend to fight that are sacred
20 the traditions of the game-a game
that has been kept pure and sweet in
spite Of the cupidity Of club owners
who have been associated with the
sport in the past, but who have been
chased from the game.
