Cy Falkenberg figures prominently in
baseball news today. Cy, in his fourth start
Of his 1917 "CFne back" helped the AS

of the series; he personally made two
binglcs one a double off Guy Morton, and he
allowed the Indians nine little hits, three

his lonesome in three steps TO the counting
pan.
BY reason Of his ability to solve the de-

There is also n change in the National

day the league leaders were Roush, of the
Reds; Fischer. OF Pittsburgh, and George

Sometimes a player can manage to make

An only too common fault in making a

HITCH IN REFEREE KILLS MATCH
BETWEEN HERMAN AND WILLIAMS
Champions Manager Refused to Agree on "Pop"
O'Brien as Third Man, After All Details
for Bout Had Been Completed
BY LOUIS II. JAFFE

ILTHETHER Pete Herman, the bantam
w champ, wants any Of Kid Wiliams's
bearcat game is a question in the minds
Of officials Of the Olympia Athletic Asso-
clatlon. A dilgent effort was made to
match the champion and ex-champion for
sx-round bout in this city and after every
thing indicated that the contest had been
arranged, one point came up that killed
the match. The date, Wednesday night,
June 13, had been agreed upon; weight, at
llS pounds, ringside, was. satisfactory TO
both parties and the purse was to have
been on a gambling basis, G2 per cent be-
tween the boxers, when hitch came up as
to the referee. Jack Hanlon, matchmaker,
said that Jerome Gargano, Herman's man
ager, drew the line when Frank ("PopD
O'Brien. the official referee Of the club
was mentioned. Gargano insisted that
either Doc Hutch or William II. cBlly'D
Recap should be given the job as third man
in the ring, but the management of the
Olympia would not agree O'Brien has
refereed every feature bout at the club this
year, and as official referee the club wanted
Pop to do so in the proposed Herman
williams tilt. Gargano refused to give any
reason why he barred O'Brien, or for what
reason he preferred either OF the other
men. Anyway, after a conference that
lasted until almost dawn, Managers Wart-
mix and Gargano and the club representa-
tives failed to come to a definite agreement.
Thus only the mere matter of a referee
sidetracked that which probably would have
proved the greatest bantam attraction for a
limited engagement in the country.

Of the main defects will be bad hands. Most

WILLIAMS is NOT BARRED

NEW YORK, May 23.-Reports that
Richard Norris Williams, I'd, of Boston,
holder of the national tennis championship
IN singles, had been rejected from the
Plattsburg contingent Of recruits for the
officers training corps, which circulated
freely several days ago and caused aston
ishment among followers of tennis, have at
last been laid to rest Williams was sup
posed to have been barred because of bad
feet" an unusual physical delinquency, to
say the least, in one who has twice held the
national tennis championship.
The reports persisted until at length
George T. Adee determined to verify OF
crush them To this end he telegraphed
williams at Plattsburg and received the
following reply: 1.-THE rumor of my moi
getting in was false; am here. very wei
