CHAMPION LEONARD
GETS $4,000 Offer
81 900 Round for -Six-Round Bout
but Benny Waits to Sign with u. S.

Philadelphia, Pa, June H.-while
Benny Leonard is biding his time
about signing a $30-a-month contract
70 night under the management of our
Uncle Sammy, and jeopardize his new
lightweight Jewel against shot and
shell of Bill. the Tyrant, another
proposition-one very, very tempting
lis staring him square in the face.
Leonard can pluck a nice, new, crisp
N,O0O bill for a single round of boxing,
and the offer which Is being forced
on the champ calls for sixty three
minute periods OF fistic frivolity. In
other words, unless Leonard over
looks this $4,000 AFFAIR. it's not going
to be very hard winter for the con-
queror of Fred Welsh.
matchmaker, is endeavoring to hand
over the paltry sixty thou to our
hero. and Jeems has been talking
these phone figures for publication.
Here's the scheme: Johnston will
give Leonard 5000 to engage Johnny
Dundee, not a dime more to mix with
Willie jackson: 5000 to face Joe We'll
ling, 5000 II he will take a chance
with Charley Whites deadly left
hook, $4,000 II he will agree to box
Ted Lewis at 135 pounds at 3 O'Clock,
and 10000 II he will attend pugilis-
tieally to Johnny Kilbane.
That's a total Of only $500. II
meet these men for the stated
amounts johnson will give him a
bonus OF 5000, so that his total earn
ings for the six bouts will foot $GO. 900.
Johnston informs the world that no
lightweight ever got $4,000 for six
ten-round bouts before.
Il mean what l say when I make
this offer" we are informed Johnston
said. Leonard can make his own
arrangements as to the period Of time
between each bout and he can select
his opponents in the order that best
suits his fancy.

BEAN-BALL YELP IS
GENERALLY AN ALIBI

Although hit twenty-thTee times last
season. Jack Barry. manager OF the
Boston Americans, does not believe in
the existence of the bean ball" He
asserts he never has witnessed a de-
EbeTate attempt by any pitcher to hit
a batsman on the head
The bean bali Is something I know
nothing about Barry said in dis
CUssing the National Baseball Commits
siOn's ruling threatE ming the expulsion
Of a pitcher found guilty of using the
delivery.
Il was hit by pitched balls twenty
three times last season. but am con-
fdent none of the pitchers tried to
hit me. When ball players complain
about the sbean bali 1t always sounds
like an alibi to me-
BaTTy's record of being hit twenty
three times last season is one never
eqUaled in the modern major leagues.
How TO eradicate the bean BALI is a
question puzzling players, managers
and Umpires alike. Barry laughs at
the idea of anybody deciding the ques-
ton.
Suppose that a pitcher Is wild,

ARE BOSTON RED SOE
SHOOTING The CHUTE?
Club Has Dropped 10 Out of Last
IS Games Played on Home Field.

The most serious slump of the sea-
son today has the Red Sox by the
throat ready to throttle that world
aggregation right out Of
striking distance of the White Sox.
Since the Barry -piloted clan reached
home from a brilliant trip II has lost
ten out OF fifteen games played and
in more games than should have been
the case the red-hosed battlers failed
TO even dent the plate.
On the other hand, the White Sox
have wandered to victory nine times
in their fifteen contests, two of the
wins being handed in at the expense
of the CarriGanless champions.
Lack OF hitting and a predominancU
Of stupied base running have hurt the
Red Sox. Usually a team that will
play for one run and hold up under Il
better than any other team in the big
leagues, the Red SoX now are ap.
parently helpless without a margin OF
three or four runs. Irregularities have
crept into their playing. The machine
isn't getting along like II used to.
The Bostonians got home on May 81
with lead of forty-seven points hold
ing them in first place. They are
second now and started on a new tour
If they can't win at home it's haro
to figure them victorious on foreign
fields.

The Following sport editorial from
the pen OF J, w, McConaughly ap-
peAred in the New York Evening Mail
last niEht, under the caption of Nc
0rawtsm;
In organized baseball Is now under
way, This grand old commercial en-
terprise has been wobbling for num-
her OF years and a few more slams
, like the McGrHw-Tener reputation
contest ought to finish the business:
John McGraw was long ago supposed
70 have reformed. but McGrawism
goes marching on.
on course, there Is no question of
veracity between three or four repu-
table newspaper men on the one hand,
McGraw and the National League
mind OF any one who knows profess
sional baseball and baseball mas-
mates, McGraw was fined for slug
gfng an umpire and said what he
thought about the umpires ana tne
head OF the National League. He
said what he thought Tor puohcatioh
and II was published. A.,
Then he was dragged in before the
magnates and told to sign paper IN
which he declared that he had never
said anything OF the kind or anything
that could be construed into what ne
had been quoted as saying.
OF course, McGraw and all the mag
mates concerned knew that this was
not the truth, but they wanted to set
tie the controversy" and II seemed TO
be a good scheme to dismiss the whole
thing by casually remarking that the
New York baseball reporters VINO nave
given with the consent OF the pub
iishers), McGraw and the Giants and
baseball generally about $20,OOO,O OOO
worth of free advertising for the big
gest outdoor amusement trust in the
world, were just lot of liars.
McGraw Immediately followed thls
statement with another statement IN
Boston, in which he said he did not
mean ito go back on the New York
newspaper men," but the pressure
brought to bear on me was that l
would cause great injury to the Ma
tional League the New York club and
baseball, unless 1 made a statement
satisfactory to the board"
The statement was satisfactory TO
the board" apparently, and nothing
is injured excepting the vested prop
erty interests of the baseball trust, the
value of which Is built largely on the
popular superstition that baseball
games are contests in sport, instead OF
open-air vaudeville
The baseball writer's will undoubted-
ly remain calm. They have been lied
TO so often by baseball magnates that
the change to being lied about viii
hardly be noticed.
