survives of a football game failed to
dampen the ardor of the enthusiasts.
Wherever Britishers have gone they
have taken football with them, but
in America they found the indians
playing an aboriginal brand of foot
ball.
Today the Football Association of
England, the governing body Of the
soccer game has a. membership of 400
professional clubs, and nearly rs, coo
amateur clubs Before the war it
was estimated that. there were nearly
million soccer players in England,
while the professionals alone number
ed about 1000. most of whom, if nor
all, have gone to war.

CHARLEY WHITE BREAKS
HAND AND is BEATEN
BY JOHNNY TILLMAN

New York, Sept. 21.-Johnny Till
man, of Minneapolis, defeated Char
ley White, Of Chicago. in slow ten
round bout at the st. Nicholas Rink
last night. White broke his left hand
In the third round, after knocking
Tillman down twice for the count OF
nine. But for this injury White IN
doubtedly would have stopped the
newcomer.
All the real fighting took place in
the third. when Tillman ran into the
two lefts that dropped him. After
that, White was forced to fight en-
tirely on the defensive and Tillman,
with two good hands, was too much
for Charley with only his right to de-
pond upon.
White weighed 137 pounds, while his
opponent tipped the beam at 141 1.2.
a tremendous crowd saw the strug-

broken hand, and naturally was un-

FEWSTER, YANKEE
/. RECRUIT LOOMING
UP AS REAL STAR

: New York. Sept. 21-Bill Donovan
Continued the seasoning of his young
sters at the Polo Grounds yesterday
and largely as result of this pro-
cess the Yankees lost to the Cleve-
land Indians by to 2.
1t didn't make much difference. The
Yanks are not going anywhere just
now and a baseball game more or less
Is OF slight Importance. 1t is impor-
tant to find out what tie material for
rebuilding next season may be. From
now on the Brush Stadium may be
regarded in the light Of a palatial
training camp.
In the curtain raiser the Recruits
did well. Before the game with
Cleveland they defeated the Regulars
by score of to 2 in six innings.
They have become accustomed to the
big leaguers in their own camp, but
when they went up against strangers
II was another story. They had plen-
~ of ambition. but their Judgment and
execution left much to be desired, al
though some Grabbed fans expressed
themselves as strongly In favor of
their execution.
Fewster and Lamar appear the pick
OF the bunch at present. Fewster
made one hit and was robbed of an
other by great catch on the part of
Graney. Wick also got a single which
figured in the Yankees scoring. La
mar made one pretty capture of a fly
ball
For seven innings Shocker pitched
ginvincible baseball. In that time he
permitted only one hit, drive by
Speaker to centre. which was good for
two bases when Camp failed to make
"a shoestring catch. In the eighth
shocker and his support both weaken
ed ana nine Of the visitors batted for
Q net result of four runs. O'Neil and
Smith made triples in this Inning
which an experienced right fielder
might have held to singles. Shocker
became a little unsettled and his con-
troll was none too good. If he had
not passed Graney, after one run was
IN, he might have won his game.

s P OFT STREET
WILL LEAR MAKE GOOD?

Local fans will watch with interest
to see if King Lear of the Bridge
port club makes good with the Chi
cago Cubs. The third baseman came
under the observation of Jimmy
Sheckard, the Chicago scout, while the
latter was watching Pitcher Weaver
of New Haven during August. He
thought Lear was a good prospect so
he advised the Cubs to draft him.
Lear is a good fielder and a natur-
al hitter. He has a free swing but
there are few minor faults in his
style which a big league manager
would quickly correct Lear resem-
bles Benny Kauff when the latter was
minor Lacquer in the respect that he
suffers from over-anxiety. He tries
to kill the ball in a critical situation
but that is a fault that can be rem
edied.
The Boston Nationals cancelled their
drafts on Conway and Murray of Wor-
cester, SO Woodward, the New Haven
pitcher, and Kane of Lawrence, are
the only other Eastern players taken.
Woodward goes to the Phillies.( Out
fielder Kane, who led the Eastern in
hitting. will be tried by the Yankees.
The Giants drafted a player named
Tanglefoot from Grand Rapids. It's
good thing he can't get into the
worlds series or he might gum things
up on the bases.
A Judge in Buffalo, NJ z, has ruled
that Pitcher Ray Caldwell of the New
York Americans, must pay Mrs. Cald-
well $3.50 month alimony as result
of separation granted to the wife by
the court She claimed Caldwell had
abandoned and faile to support her.
1t was found that Ca1dwells salary Is
$4,000 year.
After many false starts it is said
that Home Run Baker actually packed
up and went to his home in Trappe,
Nd, yesterday. He had a conference
with Manager Donovan yesterday and
asked the Yankees manager to lift his
suspension. Donovan told him to see
Owner Rupert The latter had al
ready. said it was up to Donovan so
Baker decided the only thing he could
do was quit. He says he will stay on
his farm unless the Yankees go after
him.
Fewster, who is making such a IA
vorable impression on New York fans
by his work at second for the Yam
KEGS is the same yoLngs.er who start
ed the season with Worcester. He
was seen in action many times at
Newfield park. Baltimore recalled
him from Worcester and it was from
Baltimore that the Yankees bought
him.
Rhere are all sorts of rumors go
ing the rounds about changes among |
big league managers for next year. It |
Is said Jack Coombs will manage the |
Pirates and Miller Higgins Of the St. |
Louis Cardinals is slated to succeed |
Donovan as boss of the New fork /
Americans. Ira Thomas, the old |
catcher, is mentioned as sue /
cessor to Higgins as pilot in st. |
Louis.
The Chicago White Sox need only
two more games to clinch the Ameri-
can league flag. They may have the
distinction Of taking those games in
Boston and thereby dethroning thei
present worlds champions right In
their own back yard.
