New York Manager in Bad

cago With Writers.

Owing to the fact that the inter
views between the New York news
paper men and the manager Of the
Giants, relating to his suspension BY
President Tener, and which he after
ward repudiated. took place in this
city, the Pittsburg members of the
Baseball Writers Association OF Amer
lea feel that an expression is due from
them, so that during a recent Pirate
Cub game a resolution was presented
calling on the local chapter for sup
port Of the New York chapter in its
fight for vindication Of the men who
sent out the interview
Every member present was in favor
Of the resolution, but owing TO the
fact that two members were absent
final action was deferred, when ii
will undoubtedly carry.
Not only the local writer's but the
Chicago men agreed not to mention
the manager of the New York Giants
by name in their columns until hs
acknowledged the truth of what ths
men sent out TO New York, for it i,

Officials Regret Action
| II III IL Ill
May Renew Athletic Dates

EW YORK. June 27.-As the re-
M suit Of sober second thought
= several OF the national sport
governing bodies of the country have
reached the conclusion that they
acted rather hastily in abandoning
various national championship meets.
In the case Of the Amateur Ath-
letic union the matter was put to a
mail vote before any decision was an
nounced and the returns showed an
overwhelming vote in favor OF stag
ing the track and field games under
the same conditions prevailing in
normal times.
The annual championship meet will,
therefore, be held as usual but some
uncertainty still exists regarding the
date and place for the games They
were originally set for st. Louis on
August 81, September 1 and 3
ST. Louis athletic officials,
however, sre not positive at this
time that the meet can be prop
erIy staged there and should this
prove to be the case, the cham
pIonship games Will be awarded
to some other athletic center.
New York, Chicago and Philadel-
phfa are all understood to be
willing to assume the task of
holding the meet In case St

Louis decides to foregO the con-
tests.
It may also be necessary to change
the dates for the games should it be
found that they will conflict with the
plans for the assembling of the army.
AS originally set, the junior and
senior meets would have fallen on
the Friday and Saturday preceding
Labor day with the finals on the holi-
day with q Sunday for rest interven-
ing.
If It should develop that the gov
eminent will begin assembling the
new army on September l, as has
been unofficially stated, the dates of
the games viii be moved forward 4
week bringing the contests on August
"a and 25- This will be necessary IN
view Of the fact that a number of
prominent athletes will enter the
service with the first call thus losing
all chance Of competing If the meet
were to be held after the date set for
assembly at camp
The championship committee also
has decided that the regular a. A. L.
medals shall be awarded to first.
second and third men to win places
in both the track and field events
as in past years.
1t was the general opinion that
since the games were to be held
the regular championship troph-
les should be awarded instead of
the certificates planned in con-
neetiOn with the suggested patri-
Otfc meet.

The action Of willard in not sign
ing to meet his many opponents has
caused him much unfavorable public
ity in the east, and many fans have
expressed an opinion that they would
not care TO see the big battler in the
ring. even il he did meet a contender
for the title.
willard has not had q real
fight since his memorable battle
with Jack johnson in Havana,
and in fact his only contest has
been with Frank Moran whom he
outpointed in ten rounds in New
York city, more than one year
ago.
Just what Willard intends to do no
one gems TO know, but il is believed
that Jess is settled permanently with
the circus and that he will not fight
again. He recently purchased a show
and all attractions for about 100000
and is now occupied on a trip through
New York state advertising himself
as theehief attraction, while New
ork promoters are frantically en-
deavoring to sign him with some OF
their fayorites.
There is very little doubt but that
Carl Morris IS the likeliest selection
for a bout with Willard in the event
that the big heavyweight desired to
come back in the ring
Morris has defeated Frank Full

very little doubt but that the Ok

boxing fans but even at that the fans
would be glad to see the title pass
into the hands of some champion who
would defend it against everyone.
There is an old story that Norris
once told Willard to go and get a
reputation before he would fight him.
and that is said to be one Of the
reasons that the Kansas scrapper re
fuses to meet Norris At all events
It is up to Willard to come out and
defend his title, and he is making
himself unpopular by doing So
The purchase of the circus has
led to trouble between willard
and his erstwhiIe manager Tom
Jones, while Jack Curley who
promoted the Havana deal is also
reported to be at outs with the
champion. This Is unpopular
stuff and Jess could once again
establish himself by getting out
and fighting.
