CLARENDON WANTS
CARDINAL BATTLE

Clarendon Athletic Club officials are
ready to begin pourparIer with the
Cardinals, of Alexandria. for those
well known and oft remembered dia-
mond battles for the championship of
northern Virginia.
In other words, if, when the Cardi-
mails see this challenge, they will make
known their intentions to the Claren-
don men. there will be something do
ing across the Potomac for the re-
mainder OF the baseball season.
For many years past the Clarendons
and Cardinals have entertained d
baseball feud. 1t has been nip and
tuck. for the most part, although both
factions will claim they have had the
best OF it all along.
Now, Clarendon is ready to open ne
gotiations with the Cardinals for
series Of games. Sylvester Breen is
the leading spirit in the Cardinal
Athletic Club of Alexandria; w. NJ.
Mainhall is the manager of the Clar-
endon A. G.
The stage being set. therefore. in
teresting developments are to be ex.
pectcd.

WALTER H0LKE PLAYS GOOD
BALL FOR BOSTON BRAVES

Walter Holke. who started his ma
jor league career in suspicious fash
ion back in 1916, when he played
such a prominent part in the winning
of twenty-six consecutive games by
the Giants, only to slip rapidly into
mediocrity last year, has perpetrated
a remarkable comeback as a member
OF the Braves and now ranks high
among the first sackers OF the league
Holke is not only furnishing q
splendid brand of ball around the in

he is Furnishing the pellet with vigor
and is one of those swatsmiths who

WILDE Would COME
TO UNITED STATES

LONDON, July 22.-Jimmy Wilde,
the British fiyweight marvel, wants
to go to the United States and make
a cleanup" of dollars. Therefore. 1t
is not likely that Pal Moore and the
little champion will meet here again
soon, although Nate Lewis, manager
of Moore, has asked for the match
and received the sanction of Promoter
c. B. Cochran, who staged the recent
bout between the boys.
Lewis offered to contribute $4,000
to a charitable institution If Wilde
would consent to another match, ana
Cochran seized on the opportunity of
bringing them together again, but
Wilde is holding out Cochran is still
dickering with Wilde.
Walter Ross, the British bantam
champion, has been matched with
Moore, Lewis announced last night.
They will battle within the next three
weeks for a side bet Of 1900.
Cochran announced that total re-
ceipts for the Wilde-Moore bout
amounted to $500.
Wilde's proposed trip to the United
States does not include the possibility
Of meeting Pete Herman, worlds ban
tamweight champion, because he
holds Herman cannot make 116 pounds
ringside.
The proposed match between Jack
Dempsey and the winner Of the Car
pentier-Beckett bout is still hanging
fire. Cochran said he has obtained
signatures Of Carpenter and Beckett,
but that Dempsey has not definitely
made an answer. Cochra1's American
agent is said to have deposited $4,000
- - uFn e.
Dempsey when he signs articles.
Cochran said yesterday he had re-
ceived word from the United States
that the deal for Dempsey was near
ing completion. If matched Dempsey
would make his appearance in Eng
land in the famous Olympia Hall,
which can seat 10000 persons.
Admission prices would range from
IS to $125.

WILL CLAIM TITLE
IF KAYO HAPPENS

PHILADELPHIA. July 22.-Johnny
Kilbane. featherweight champion,
may lose his title next Monday night
to Joey Fox. the claimant OF the
British featherweight title, but he
will enter the ring with all the bene-
fts of catchweights. He declined to
face the Britisher under any other
in at 122 pounds at o'clock before
reputable witnesses and succeeds in
knocking out Kilbane he will be
recognized as the champion. The two
"ifs," however, may prevent a change
in the title.
I'VE offered to weigh in at either
1875 pounds at o'clock. the British
limit" explains Johnny Mooney, man
ager of Fox, "or at I'D pounds at 3
o'clock, the American limit. Kilbane
declined to make either weight, in
sisting on catchweights. So we gave
in. Fox will weigh in at 122 pounds
at o'clock in order to claim the
worlds championship in case he
knocks out Kilbane."
Fox says he won the British
featherweight title after Curley
Walker. of London, grew out Of the
class. He says he knocked out Jim
Barry, of New Castle, in eighteen
rounds in 1915; got a decision in
twenty rounds over Tommy Harrison,
OF Hanley, and then knocked out
Young Simsons, OF Plymouth, in
eighteen rounds. Following these
victories. the National Sporting Club
presented him with its belt. which
Walker had to relinquish. The belt
is now in England in the care OF
Fox's English manager.
