SMITH SUGGESTS
A BOOSTER PLAN

Sit Any Place.
BY Walter \. PhcIan.

II South Bend loses its baseball
club il will be the fault OF the fans
and not Owner Ed Smith In an
swer 10 query as 20 what plan he
would suggest for Booster day next
; Wednesday Ed sent the following
telegram.
Received notice from there that
! Booster day impossible. My idea
was fifty cents any place in park
/ for Wednesday. Club will never be
taken from South Bend by me or
anyone else. Cannot believe mer.
chants sore because released Smith
as stated in papers Play Spring
! brook Monday Ed Smith"
This ought 20 settle the question
as far as some OF the professed
I boosters who have been welding a
little hammer are concerned.
Nothing is ever impossible and with
the aid Of the fans a Booster day
such as Ed suggests could be made
a paying proposition.
Under Eds plan the 90 cents would
entitle the fan 10 a seat in the
grandstand II ne or she preferred
10 sit in the blcachers. well and good
/ The main idea is 20 get the little
half-simoleons as the fans file past
the main gate
Season tickets would be declared
/ void for this one game. Everyone
would he asked To pay the half dol
lar and sit any place i'm the park.
except of course. in the middle Of
( the diamond
Evansville will be the attraction
Monday Tuesday and Wednesday
| The plan suggested by Ed is feasible
for We are divulging inside secrets,
he has made arrangements 70 pay
| Evansville only the guarantee Of
$50. No percentage of the gate re-
ceipts will he given TO Knolls men.
Therefore after 100 fans have paid
their 80 cents al the gate the rest Of
the money will go direct TO Ed
Smith. Nothing wrong about that.
Everything straight and above
I board.
This telegram should settle the
harpinc Of persons anxious TO see
the club taken away If opinions eX-
pressed are not biased for any cause.
II may be impossible 10 put on a
season ticket book sale right now.
What with Red Cross subscriptions
and war donations on every hand
money is not the easiest thing TO
hold after II is one secured.
But the so cents for Booster day
is rot going 70 beggar anyone. War
donations show national patriotism.

BOXING NOTES

Where are the fighters of yester-
day? We can answer for Steve Ket-
chell. one Of the toughest Of the
lightweight crop.
Steve is driving an ambulance
with Hospital unit No. Z in France.
Bill Murray, a prominent California
middleweight, is in the engineers
corps. and Willie Richie has eX-
pressed his willingness 10 join.
Billy Bishop. former heavyweight
champion Of the navy, is trying for
an officers commission at Fort Sher-
idan.
One Of Johnny Kilbane's latest
feats was 20 easily outpoint frankie
Fleming. the Canadian champion. in
1O-round bout at Montreal Kill
bane weighed in at IFS and Fleming
at 122.
Joe yelling. Chicago contender for
the lightweight title, is going 10
, fight two more fights and then go
70 war. he says. He plans on TAX
ing on Willie Jackson. the lad who
knocked out Dundee in one round az
Philadelphia while back. and then
face Charlie White. terror Of light
weights. in an Indiana ring on July
4.
Then I'm going 10 enter the
army or navy" said Joe. Il hope
there won't be any caulifiower ears
or fat feet TO bar me out"
How old was Ann?" was cincn
OF a problem compared 20 How
old is Sam Langford ." Sans age
has been lost somewhere up in the
dark ages-and we say dark ages"
advisedly-of Nova Scotia.
Here's what dope We have on
sam:
Born Weymouth. Nova Scotia.
exact date unknown; says himself
date was March 1874; height 5
feet 61s inches; weight. over 200
pounds; color, black.
This would make Samuel 3 years
old. and still very active at this fig
ure. The same record book states
that Sam began fighting in 1902
This would make his ring career
start at the age Of 2S-something
unusual.
The 1916 Andrews guide says Sam
was ushered in on March 4. 1886,
which would make his present age
81 and date his first fight from the
age OF 16, which seems more prob
able than the other views.
Whatever the age Samuel has at
tanned. il cannot alter the fact that
he is now in the decline Of his fight
ing years. Sam moves like battle
shin with a barnacled bottom. He
has a large and permanent water
melon in the food belt. and when
he is clipped a stout one it takes
long time TO clear his head.
