BRAVES GET SMITH
stalIing's Notified by Giants Manage ment That Young Infielder Is Bos- tons Propcrty-On Herzog's Trail

Miami, Fla, March 30.-George Stallings, manager of the Braves, yesterday received word from the Giants that they had given him In- fielder Jimmy Smith. along with Charley Herzog, for Larry Doyle and Jesse Barnes. Until yesterday Smith had been subject to recall by New York. When First Baseman Ed. Ko- netchy breezed into camp and signed his contract the prospects for the Braves were much frightened.
 All afternoon Stallings tried to get Herzog on the long distance telephone to arrange a meeting in Jacksonville today. It Is understood that in the main Herzog's demands are to be met. Smith will join the club in Macon or Augusta next week, having been notified at his Pittsburgh home.
 Herzog Is to get $500 as a captains bonus and about $2,400 in addition, all of which added to his 0.000 con- tract, will give him $13,o00 for tho year, making him the second highest I rfced player in the National league, of the Cubs will get $12~ 800 plus a bonus of $5,000.

National Commission Hands Down Important Decision in International League Players Case-Does Not Effect Lajoic.


 New York, March 30.-The dispo- 1 sition of the players belonging to the defunct International league was settled yesterday in 8 decision hand ed down by the members of the Ma tional commission.
 According to John K. Tener. presi- dent of the National league; Ban Johnson. president of the American league, and Garry Hermann. tho club owners of the International league failed to live up to the rules of the National agreement and there by forfeited their rights to the play CTS.
 The decision of the National com mission reads:
 "As the result of the failure of the International league to arrange it's circuit and adopt @ schedule for the season of 1918. many of the reserve players of its clubs have applied to the commission relative to their status.
 'Tn some instances 1t is represent ed that the respective clubs of com plainants are In arrears to the play CTS for 1917 salary, and in other ce ses the reserving clubs have failed
 
 season up to date. Investigation es- tablishes that many of these com plaints arc true.
 Tn the meantime players of the International league teams who have received offers from other national agreement clubs have been unable to accept them pending the reorEaniHa- ton of the International league.
 "The commission rules that through its neglect to reorganize, and protect the national agreement rights of its players, all rights to reserved players have been forfeited, and that all players of its respective clubs are therefore free agents and eligible to contract with other national agree ment clubs. except those drafted or recalled by major league clubs or purchased by major or minor league clubs.
 "Contracts for 1918 entered into with other clubs by players of the International league before the pro- of this ruling are declared valid"
 This decision will have no effect on the Lajoie case. The famous French man was sold by James McCuffcrty. owner of the Toronto club, to the Robins a couple of weeks before the league threw up the sponge.

 (Editor's Note: This is the thirty fourth chapter of a series of articles which MT. Corbett is writing on John l.. As I Knew Him. It relates many heretofore unpublished incidents in the life of the great warrior. The next instalment will appear Monday.) 1F
 Back in John L.'s championship days it was the popular idea that all his adversaries should go to the battle field accompanied by an ambulance squad. And it is true that most of John LIS ring rivals surely needed the services of medical folks after the fray was over.
 But when I went to the New Or leans arena where our fight was held on September 7, 1892, I was all "dolled up'' in gay scenery. I wore the nattiest light suit that I could af- ford, tan shoes which were considered only as a part of a dandys costume in those days, a straw hat-and I car ried a cane. A strange rig for a man on his way to engage in the most im- portant fight of his career, yes! But I wore those clothes for a purpose. I hoped that John l.. would hear about 
 would make him think that I felt no more concern about fighting him than I did about going to a picnic.
 John L.-naturally so-was proud of his fighting ability. It always angered him in the old days when anyone spoke about it slightingly. 1t was my hope that by exhibiting apparent indifference to- the danger of fighting him I could get him to thinking that held him in something akin to contempt. This I knew would infuriate John Land that was what I wanted to accomplish.
 When I was matched to fight the great BOstonian I realized that he would go into the ring outweighlng me from 30 to 40 pounds. It would have been folly for me to stand with him in a toe-to-tOe sluggin gmatch in the early rounds. No man in those days could swap punches with John l.. in the center of the ring and have u chance for victory. Cogntzant or this, I mapped out my plan of bat tie months before it took place. Mine was to be a running fighr' during the early rounds.
 Speed, lodging ability and endur- ance were my assets, and l counted on them to pave tho way toward vic tory. I hoped that l might anger John L., causing him to rush me wildly with the first tap of the gong in an effort to finish "the fresh Cali fornia kid" in jig time. Ireckoned that my speed would enable me Co keep out of his way and chat the wild swings and furious rushes sooner or later would sap his strength and re- duce him to a point where l could go in and chop away at him until I had reduced him to a point where a knock out was possible. And wearing the dude" clothes, which John l.. hated, was my first act in the drama to make John l.. angry.
 
 The victory which I achieved over the great champion was not a popu- lar one. And ever since that day some ardent admirers of the great old

NOVEL GOLF TOURNEY
Cup Now in Possession of Honolulu Club to Be Contested For in Com

By Briggs

Chicago. March BOA novel tro- phy which is expected to stimulate interest in golf tournaments held by cuibs in the Western Golf Associa- lion this season for the benefit of the Red Cross. is today in the hands of Crafts w. Higgins, Assistant SeCre- tnry of the associa ton.
 The trophy, which is now the prop erty of the Oahu Country club of Honolulu, the western outpost of the Western Golf Association, is The Red Cross of Belgium" presented by the International Association of the Rcd Cross of Belgium to Col. C. F. Iaukea, a member; of tht Oahu club, when he was in Europe in 1882 on a diplomatic mission for King Kalakau reigning monarch of the Hawaiian lslonds at that time.
 Two recent tournaments at which the emblem was played for the Oahu club netted a total of $5,500 for the Red Cross, and the success of the contests led to the idea of sending 1t to the States as a Red Cross 'mis- sionary' and the suggestion that it be put up for competition at different clubs.
 A silver plate large enough for the winners name, date and name of the club for twenty tournaments has been added to the Oahu club.
 When the events are over in the States the trophy Is to be returned to Honolulu.
