VENEZUELA TO HAVE Y
A BASEBALL LEAGUE
Game Practically Only Open Air
Sport Known to People
at Large.

The first baseball league Of South
America IL about to be organized,
Venezuela is the country to take this
important step forward In the march
Of civilization, and company known
as Compania Anonima Stand Baseball
has been organized for the purpose of
building n grand stand In the city of
Caracas.
Baseball was introduced into Cara
cas- about 1896 by group Of young
men who had attended schools in the
United States. 1t has spread all over
the republic and Is practically the only
open air athletic sport known to the
people at large. A peculiarly is that
the language Of the game is all Eng
llsh.
There are about twenty-five organ
lied amateur teams In Caracas, and
most of the smaller cities and towns
have two or more clubs. Large crowds
attend the important games, but 1t has
not been customary to charge any adj
mission fee. With the erection Of the
grand stand it has been suggested that
league of the four best teams Of
Caracas and two Ia Guayra clubs be
formed

New York. July 11.--Ted Kid Lewis
ID the new boss Of the welterweights,
thanks to referees decision won at
Dayton, O., over jacques Britton
Just how long the Ted Kid viii be
able to cling to the title is question,
for the next time he meets Britton,
and that Is to be very soon, he may
lose the laurel back to the Irish scrap

Because of the decision Of Referee
| Baumann no one can galnsay the
/ Kids claims to the wclterweight sky
piece. But according to report from
Dayton, the decision would have been
much fairar all around had 1t been
made draw. Britton, though out
pointed, scored a knockdoWn IN the
twentieth round and was on his feet
fighting strong, while Lewis was be-
wildered when the bell ended the mill
ing. If this report is the dead level
on the bout it appears that Lewis has
nothing on Britton one way or an

other
! Britton and LOWS may be expected
TO fight to q good draw nine times
out Of ten, for there are no two
boxers in the world today as evenly
matched. Dillon and Levinslty have
fought many times and for big fell
lows they are nearly on par. l'llt
Lewis and Britton arc so nearly alike
mechanically. and in every other way,
that they might be twins.
The Dayton meeting between the
two was their thirteenth bout, yet the
fistic public finds little to choose one
way or the other This close sonpar-
ison is big point in Brtton favor
because of the fact that he is nearly
ten years older than Lewis and has
been fighting five years longer.

HANK GoWDY TO THE FRONT.

Henry lHank) Gowdy, the long, lean
backstopper OF the Boston Braves, set
an example for the ball players by be.
ing the first major Lacquer to enlist.
He left his club during its last visit to
Brooklyn and liked for Georgia to
join his Ohio regiment, which is being
whipped into shape for the trencht 8
in France.
Going over the top to face Ger
man machine guns in France has no
fears for the rugged Gowdy. He says
there should be no such a thing as
! fear when q fellah's country is calling
him, and before so very many weeks
have passed we may hear of Hank
cutting down a few Boches with we'll
meant bayonet thrusis, instead u

/ Gowdy may never return to the big
league. for the fortunes of war are

worlds series and the first major
league ball playersto enlist under Tie
