BOB THAYER'S GOSSIP
ON SPORTING MATTERS

opened the eyes OF many fans to real
conditions. Unless the magnates can
revive the true spirit of sport on the
field, they may read their fate on the
walls Of their magnificent parks.
Now that the bail club has left
town, wAshington's sport lovers may
turn their attention without regard
to other lines. Washington Is today
one Of the leading tennis centers in
the country. Untoward conditions in
the Government departments have
hurt the game here, but still many
are able to engage in their favorite
sport without much difficulty. ANA
teur baseball Is in a sad way, but
several teams are striving to keep
the game alive on the sandlots. Golf
ers never do care whether the Griff-
men are in town or not, 30 they
should worry. But a whole month IL
to come without major league base
ball In Washington, don't forget
that.
Now II is claimed that Sam Lang
ford played postum in his bout
with Fred Fulton. Those who make
the claim point to Langford's frst
match with Gunboat Smith, which he
lost" Matched again, the Boston
Tar Baby" handled Smith like a
child. 1t is rumored that an Ear
rangement" was made whereby, at
the expense Of Langford, Fulton would
be rehabi11tated in the good graces OF
the boxing world. II this IL true,
boxing should cease now and for
ever.
Before quitting for the day, let's
tip you that a strong rumor IL rum
ming around town that boxing IL to
be revived in Washington for the
coming season. 1t won't be at Ard
more, Nd. Just where II will be, the
rumor fails to state. But II Is on
the cards to have real bouts in the
near vicinity of Washington. The
promoters want champions and near
champions to show their class to
Washington fans. Such a project can
succeed only in one way, have every
thing on the level, FIRST, last and all
the time. Unless this is done, the
promoters might just as well do moth
ing at all in regard to the proposed
boxing club.

Today the Grinmen are in Boston.
Only the Almighty knows what will hap

Hub, which has for several seasons
been an evil place for them. However.
those left behind are pulling for the
Washington team to come through with
some victories against the worlds cham
pions, who are not going any too well
themselves. A few wins will go nightly
toward putting life into a tailend asgre-
cation. Aside from batsmen OF merit.

formanees more than anything else.

Add about I'VE ounces Of pepper to his

cal world it is customary for inter-
viewers to be repudiated. In the sport

all. The New York chapter OF the Base
