Protest Against Boxing in
Temple of Arts and Sciences.

LONDON, Sept 22.-British tradition
has risen in a white heat Of anger
against the proposal TO conduct a series
OF professional boxing bouts In ROYAL
Albert Hall. which was designed at its
inception as temple of arts and
sciences Chief among the DIRECTORS is
the Rev. Frederick B. Meyer, pastor of
Christ Church, who says:
Remembering, as one does, the touch
ing devotion of Queen Victoria to ROYAL
Albert Hall and the express wish of
King Edward that the traditions govern
ing its establishment should be pre-
served most sacredly, cannot do other
wise than take the earliest opportunity
OF entering most whole hearted and
vigorous protest against the proposed
dissertation Of this monument in our ra-
tional life.
'Royal Albert Hall was intended and
hitherto has been a temple Of religious
life and thought through music, science
and art-it must never be transformed
into an amphitheatre for professional
pugilists."
The betting here is two to one that
tradition will win.

The Cuban Stars OF Havana, who are
nearing the windup OF their American

the Bushwicks next Sunday In a double
header at Dexter Park. near the Cypress

Stars has signed a contract to play in the
Cuban National League this winter, and
the team already has booked passage for
Havana. The Cubans wound up a
twelve game series with the Lincolns

Moran Undecided Whether to
Start Magee or Duncan in
Left Field.
by FREDERICK G. LIEB.

Despite the brilliant playing of Pat
Duncan, Cincinnatfs new outfelder, the
Reds outfield continues to contain the
one pronounced weak spot Of an other
wise formidable. well balancedfteam.
Man for man the Cincinnati outfield
must be rated below the splendid out
field of the Chicago Americans. The
Chicago outfeld composed of jackson,
Felseh, Leibold and John Collins Is one
OF the best in the game, both defensively
ana extensively. 1t is composed of fin
lsned players, men not likely to blunder
under fire. Most of them proved their
mettle In the White Sox-Giant series of
1917.
Eddie Roush, the crack outfielder Of
the National League and co-star of
Hetnie Groh on the Reds, gives Moran's
outneld most of its strength. Roush will
be thanked on one side by Greasy Neale,
fair player and on the other by the
veteran Sherwood Magee, unless Moran
is willing to try a youngster like Duncan
In such an important series.
Left field has been Moran's big diff
Guilty this season. He started off with
old Sherry Magee, but the veteran con-
tracted pneumonia early in the year.
Then IL was the Cuban, Cueto, who
tried to patrol left field for Fitchburg
Pat. He didn't do, and Rube Bressler
the left-handed pitcher, played the posi-
ton during the hardest grind the year.
Magee got back late last month, but
he has slowed down TO a walk Then
with the pennant practically clinched
Moran sent Pat Duncan out to the
pasture. He led tho Southern Associa-
ton when Cincinnati plucked him from
the Birmingham club.
Can Duncan stand the Strainy
Duncan has displayed some signs of
being hitter. He plays a nice game
In the field and can throw well. So far
he has proved a pretty game kid. But
1t is questionable whether a boy like
Duncan can hold his own under the
worlds series strain.
Roush should Offset the fielding ability
of Hap Felsch in centre field. These two
fellows approach Iris Speaker closer
than any other centre fielders in base
ball. Both can roam over acres of
territory.

will not be for the title unless they
weigh 1874 pounds ringside, the weight
that middleweight champion Dempsey
compelled Fitzsimmons to make when
they met in New Orleans. Others still
will tell ODowd and Rather that in
order to make it a real title fight they
must weigh 100 at p. NJ. the weight
at which Frank Klaus knocked out
Georges Carpenter for the worlds mid
dleweight title. There are several
other figures from which to choose, but
II Rather and O'Dowd put up a rafting

hit up to his usual form this year
He has been lowering around $50 all

Although Hap Felsch Is hitting about
so points below what he did in 1917
the White Sox outfeld looks more
formidable than II did two years ago
before Chicago scored its victory over
the New York favorites
Joe jackson Hitting Fences.
Joe jackson is hitting harder than at
any time since he Joined the White
Sox in 1915. He has been slammins
the ball to the fences all year. Little
Memo Leibqd also has been tearing
the hide of the ball this year too. In
1917 he was listed around .235. This
year he is ranging around .2S5. Lei
bold also Is one of the best lead Off men
in the country.
Gleason is using the same shift Row
land employed in 1917. when left hand
ers opposed Chicago. John Collins fills
right field for Chicago when a left
handler is on the mound for the rival
aggregation. Old Shane. who now Is
the veteran of the Sox, is hitting in
his normal form this year. about .265.
Despite the fact that Leibold has not
played in nearly as ma ny games as the
Chicago every day regulars. Collins,
Jackson and Weaver. he IL right up with
these top notchers in the matter of scor-
ing runs. Little Memo can fly around
the bases.
Leibold had little to do in the 1917
worlds series, as McGraw relied almost
entirely on his left handlers, Sallee,
Schupp and Benton. This year Memo
should be little buster, as Moran is
sure to pitch some right handlers, par
ticularly Eiler and Fisher.
While Felsch has fallen Off consid-
erably in his batting average. he re-
mains one of the most dangerous men
in the country in the pinch and is right
behind Jackson in long hits. It was a
homer by Hap that decided the first
game OF the 1917 series Slim Sallee,
star gunner of the Reds, was the victim
Of that thrust into the Chicago bleach
ers. 1t won't make Slim feel any moro
certain when he opposes Felsch in the
coming series.
With Duncan in left field Cincinnati
Is match for Chicago in the matter
OF speed. but with Sherry Magee start
ing the series in left Chicago must be
given the preference even in that de-
partment
In helding Chicago has a slight edge,
owing to the left field uncertainty on
the Reds. For going into the deep cor
ners OF the field and in throwing Roush
and Neale. however, compare favorably
with Felsch and Leibold.
The Chicago bunch also leads IN the
matter of long hits Jackson and Felsch
drive ball harder than any member
of the Cincinnati team, and long punches
turn the trick often in worlds series.

BAY STATE EXCITED
, BY BOXING SCANDAL
Charge Made That Kloby-
Fitzsimmons Bout Was Not

BY CHARLES r. MATHIsoN.

For the first time in several years
Massachusetts has a redolent boxing
scandal on its hands, and everybody
from Cape Cod to Boston Common Is
highly excited over It. The affair which
was staged in the ball grounds at Law

simmons together and was witnessed by
1900 persons. Young Kloby, who re-
Gently knocked out Eddie Shevlin, the
welter champion of New England, won
from Fitzsimmons on a foul in the sixth
round, referee Harry Stout deciding that
the blow was foul and awarding the YER
dlct to Kloby.
F1tzsimmons is Dan Morgan's entry in
the lightweight stakes, and according to
the ringside reports the Yorkville man
had the better of the contest up to the
point that the low blow was struck.
Boxing experts who witnessed the at
fair express the opinion that 1t was pre-
arranged, and set forth these circum-
stances in support of their accusation:
The supporters of kloby offered odds
on their man and were so eager to-
wager that they offered to name the
round in which the bout would end. III
fact they said the New Highlander could
not lose.

That the set of gloves used by Kloby

worn by the boys in the preliminary
bouts and larger than the gloves used

That the foul blow was a compare
lively light one, and while Kloby fell

Conley, of 319 w. Government St.,
Fensacoia. Fla
Before this sickness I was quite
stout; never had an ache or pain. en-
joying perfect health, but afterwards I
was full of pain all over. My liver
wouldn't act, and I had to keep taking
medicine all the time. 1 would get so
dizzy that it seemed I was going 20
pitch forward all the time. had the
backache almost all the time. and my
limbs and joints also ached. Had no
appetite; was restless all night long
|, and would get UP mornings all worn
out from my nervousness, and with a
vile taste in my mouth.
TT is all different now, for Dreco

fore had the Flu" / have gained
Is pounds. have a grand appetite, sleep
sound and awake refreshed. My liver
is active and the dizzy feeling has
completely disappeared. I feel full OF
energy all the time, and go about my
heusework with a feeling of pleasure
Dreco is a great tonic and strongly
recommend it to any one who is weak
nervous, or rundown
This is just another sample of what
Dreco can do for weak, nervous, de-
bilitated systems, sluggish hvers, con-

over-worlSed stomachs. Try Drcco to-
