trio for sixteen clouts. ....

Oriole Fight Fans Hope
Knockout King in Action

Baltimore. June 9-The getting to-
gether of Sam Harris and Hen Bletzer
was the event Of the last week in
local boxing circles. Friends of Kid
Williams and Young Clancy con-
tinued to talk of the set-to betwten
this pair, with considerable interest
stirred up as a result of the mere
mention of a possibility of a bout
between George Clancy and the for
mer bantam-weight champion. This
bout, however, has little chance of
becoming a reality. inasmuch as WILL
Jams says he would not meet George
except at lis pounds. Clancy cannot
come near to doing this weight, so
there seems not a chance in the world
Of this bout coming of. Fight. fans
might just as well forget and be done
with It.
Prospects of George Clancy getting
into action very soon with some Of the
topnotchers Of the lightweight d.
vision are mighty pleasing. It Is a
fact that the Knockout King has never
been seen in his home town against
sure-enough topnotcher. George has
tackled quite a few willing lads in
local rings. but never a boy with the
reputation OF Johnny Dundee, a
Rocky Kansas or a Frankie Callahan.

PILOTS CLAIM
SATISFACTION
No Kicks Heard from Man
ayers on Results Of
Winter Trades. :

The record-making number Of
player deals. trades and sales made
last winter by American League
managers brought unusual results.
The five managers who figured In the
most important transfers say that
their clubs were strengthened.
Miller Higgins startled the world
when he gave up five men for Derrlil
Pratt and the veteran Eddie Plank.
Then he let go of George Burns and
Hendryx for Ping Bodie and "a
player from Cincinnati" who later
turned out to be Catcher Clarke.
Higgins firmly declared his team
was benefited. Derrill Pratt and
Bodie, since they became a part of
"hurderers' Row." have both been
pounding the bali in great style.
Fielder Jones gave up Shotton, La
van, Lee Magee, Eddie Plank and
Pratt for Gallia, Nunamaker, Gedeon,
Maisel, Hendryx. Shocker and Cullop.
Although Lee Magee and Pratt have
both come back with other clubs
and cullop failed to report, Jones
says he got the best Of the deal.
Barrow, of the Red Sox, with the
assistance Of Harry Frazee's bank
roll, was enabled to start the season
with Bush, Schang, Strunk and Nc
Innis. all of whom he received from
the Athletics in exchange for Walker.
Gardner, Cady, Thomas. Gregg and
Kop. He is well satisfied with the
way the men have been showing Up
for the Red Sox.
Although Connie Mack, the veteran
manager, never says much about his
team, he does not deny the fact that
he was breaking up the last of his
once world-beating Athletics when
he closed the deals last winter.
Pointing to the way they have played
during the first month he says that
they have proven their value.
Clark Griffith says that Shotton and
Lavan, who were added to the Wash
ington roster. have both been winners
and the deal with the Browns has
benefited his team. Griffith still has
the money he received for Catcher
John Henry. whom he sold to the
Boston Braves, to invest in hard
hitting infielder."
Lee FohI, of Cleveland: Rowland, of
Chicago. and Hughie Jennings, of De-
troit, were the only American League
managers who did not Join in the gen.
eral player exchange last winter.

Abe was slipping rapidly at the time.
In the first place, getting boys to
meet George over a distance of ground
has never been an easy job, and,
seemingly, the better the boy. the
harder the job. Most of them are will
ing enough to take a chance with the
six-round stuff, but right there is
where they stop.
George has not had. a bout of con-
sequence here for some time, and both
he and Manager Beltzer are mighty
anxious for one. Accordingly, they
have told Sam Harris to 60 right
ahead and get the best to be had.
When Sam made an offer of 81, $50 to
both Dundee and Kansas to meet the
Baltimore walloper in a 12-round
decision affair he certainly did not act
the role of piker. Co., H..
II has been generally felt that the
refusal Of money offer has merely
been an excuse for the lack of desire
to go up against Chaney in a bout
OF Twelve rounds or more. This IL
further indicated by the fact that
Matchmaker Harris, of the A,ac.
Athletic Association, is still awaiting
replies from the managers OF Dundee
and Kansas relative to the recent Of

is large enough. otherwise there mIzf1t

Chicago Cubs Anchored on
Top Rung in National Race

New York. June s.-Not only did
the Cubs rather rudely eject the
Giants from first place In the Ma
tfonal League last week. but Mitch
ellis men seem intent on staying
perched on the top rung. Their de-
feat of the Phillies again yester-
day for their sixth straight victory
was conclusive evidence that the
Cubs will make q determined bse for
the pennant
The McGrawmen showed such
wonderful speed at the outset that
would be forced to relinquish their
hold on the coveted position during
the whole race. Their consistent de-
feats in the west and final upset at
the hands of Jack Hendricks Car
dinals was the most surprising
event Of this years baseball
The loss Of Benny Kauff, the
Giants hard hitting outfelder. will
be a severe blow to the team. The
place which Kauff occupied in John
McGraws lineup will be a hard one
to fiII. Benny is scheduled to leave
for Camp Sherman June "a.
Not only was Kauff a valuable
man in the outfield and with the
stick. which was conclusively shown
by his home run hitting in last
years worlds series, but he was q
spirit leader of the team He was
looked upon by the men as a lead
er in the offensive.
What a month ago seemed utterly
beyond the realm of possibilities
- no rrnha HE n
pening-that the Cubs may be the
National League champions.
Not only did the league leader
ship in the Tener circuit change
hands but in the American League
as well. The victory of the Yam
KEGS yesterday over the Browns
and the defeat OF the Red Sox at the
hands of the Cleveland Indians. put
Miller Higgins with his "murderers
row. in the lead by a narrow mar
gin.
With the passing of one OF the
New York teams to second place the
other took the lead
The upset IL ii may be called that
was not SO unexpected as the loss
of the top place by the Giants. Since
the start Of the season It has been
predicted that the Red SOX could
not maintain the pace they have
been fighting hard ever since, with
Cleveland in the lead for a few days
The American League race IL
Tightening up and promises to be
one of the most thrilling seasons
ever known in the Johnson circuit
There are four logical first divi-
sion teams as they stand today. New

winners. The White Sox are be-
coming more Of a potent factor now
than they were in the early stages

"BIG THREE" EXPECT
TO REVIVE FOOTBALL

While there has been no definite
statement regarding the restoration of
varsity football at Harvard, Prince
ton and Yale next autumn, the i'm
preston Is growing that all three
universities will support the game
providing there is a reasonable num-
Der OF students from which to draw
material. Time for training is also a
necessary factor. and in a recent edi-
tortal the Princetonian, the college
daily at Princeton University, COM
mented as follows upon the subject
Football requires a certain amount
OF time and practice to harden the
players for the annual contests on the
gridiron, otherwise 1t is dangerous.
VIII the university authorities permit
the men enrolled in the military
course to participate, and IL they do
Will they allow the necessary amount
Of time for practice which the coaches
say 1t required for the bodily and
physical safety Of the players? The
development Of a wartime varsity
naturally will not demand as much
time as our ante-bellum varsities, but,
on the other hand, It will need more
than was devoted to practice by the
informals last fall. Possibly over
training has been one of our troubles
in recent years. Certainly the in
formal team was most successful,
and the men who played on it tell US
that but very little more practice
would have put them in the pink of
condition.
Taking everything into considera-
tion. the authorities should be able to
find room on next years program
for football. and, what is more. for
all forms of Intercollegiate sport. The
power to determine Prinoeton's war
time athletic policy Is in their hands.
We trust, however, that their deci-
sion In this and in all matters which
have to do with purely undergraduate
interests will not be made without
due regard for undergraduate opin-
ion."

Effective twirling, especially in the

game. Cantwell was at his best, as
he set the Navy club down with six
scattered blows and sent ten back to
the bench by the strike-out route.
Five of these blows obtained were

two-base wallop in the final was the
only real crash.
Opposed to Cantwell was Lem

the Marines pound his slants. Errors
by the Jackies helped the Marines
along the run-getting during the early
going. but in the eighth they touched
up Owens for three solid wallops that

Owen failed to prove any puzzle for
