Boston National League baseball club.
said last night at Boston that he
would make no further overtures to
Charley Herzog. obtained from the
New York Nationals in exchange for
Larry Doyle and Jess Barnes. Herzog
has been ordered 10 report at the

has refused to go.
Mr.. Haughton said that the Boston
club had agreed to assume Herzog's
contract. which had another year to

bonus. II Herzog persisted in his
further unreasonable demands" and
refused to report for training, under
the exchange agreement, Doyle and
Barnes would revert to Boston.

ly" In the camp games in the course
of the season. This figure Is arrived
at by estimating that there are more
than 1000 companies in training In
the various camps and multiplying
this number by twelve, which is the
number Of baseballs the training
commission is planning to furnish
each unit in addition to gloves and
bats. Many more, OF course. will be
supplied by the men themselves. and
these will bring the number nearer
10000, Il Is believed.
When the soldiers began arriving
in the camps last summer they turn
ed at once to baseball as the first
means of amusement. Lack of equip
ment was no deterrent; IN fact the
men seemed to take keener enjoy
ment in playing under the conditions
of years back. when the only player
who wore a glove was >the catcher
In due time, however. the game was
put on an organized basis. At one
Western camp sixteen diamonds were
laid out and contests In simultane-
Gus progress on each have not been
infrequent. By multiplying = the en-

can readily be seen what a tremen-
dous moral effect alone the national
pastime Is having in the camps.

GIBBONS GOING
OUT OF CLASS
He May Have to Tackle
Heavier Men to Get
Bout.

When a boxer has cleaned up prac-
tically all of the fellows in his own
weight class and scared OF the re-
mainder in that division. there remains
but one thing for him to do. and this is
to step into the weight section above
and take a fling at the heavier fellows:
This is just about the condition which
is staring Tom Gibbons in the face
and IL he comes through a winner in
his bout with Silent Martin next We'd
,nesday night over the ffteen-round
route before the Pickwick Avenue Club
at Albaugh's Theater, Manager Eddie
Kane will make some sort Of sweep
ing challenge for his man 70 tackle
some Of the heavy-weights.
Going out OF a class is nothing new
for the Gibbons family. for Mike did it
frequently. He had Just been through
a bout with Paekey Mcfarland as a
welter when he tackled the much heav-
ier Jack Dillon. Mike only weighed
around l50 pounds when he turned this
trick Tom is considerable distance
as regards weight from being a heavy.
but Manager Kane believes he could
train his man so that he could enter
the ring weighing around 165 pounds,
which would mean he would only have
to concede some Is to 20 pounds TO a
fellow like Jack Dempsey.
AS a matter OF fact, while chat
ting at the training quarters yes
terday while Tom was going through
his daily work. Manager Kane said
he would leave it 20 the local fans
to decide next Wednesday what
chance they think Tom would have
against men like Dempsey, Battling
Levinsky and Charley Weinert Kane
is pleased at the fact that Silent
Martin looms up as such a strong
opponent on Wednesday. II is just
what the western manager wants.
for he says it will bring out every
thing that Tom has In his boxing
repertoire, and he adds that IL this
does not stir up the fans to some
real enthusiasm nothing any boxer
can offer will. Kane says that Tom
has never appeared any place where
the boxing followers have not clam
ored for him to return, and he adds
that last Thursday after the 1o-round-
er with George Chip, Tom was given
a most wonderful ovation. In that
setto Chip was practically toyed with
throughout by the st. Paul battler
and Kane said he never saw his
charge work in better fashion than
ha did than
