Ruth to Go to Yanks
In Exchange for Two

Chicago, Aug. 3o,-(Special.) -
Base balls most sensational and

the Yanks are authority for the pro-
posed trade, but are unwilling to

who are to be included in the deal.
But inasmuch as the Yankees are
blessed with more new material

players, who if they cannot use them
themselves, will make splendid

have plenty of men to choose from.

Fred Fulton Succeeds
in Landing Bout With
English Heavyweight

New York, Aug. 30.-Fred Fulton
has landed match in London. He
is to fight some British heavy
weight, most likely Dick Smith, pre-
limnary to the bout between Joe
Beckett, the English champion, and
Eddie McGoorty at the Olympia
coliseum on September 2. News of
Fulton's success in getting the match
came from Sam Fitzpatrick, we'll
known in fistic circles, who has
arrived from overseas, where he did
athletic work among the American
soldiers. Fitzpatrick says that Tom
O'Rourke and Fulton had become
discouraged and were on the verge
of starting for this side when
O'Rourke prevailed on Charles
Cochrane, the London promoter, to
give Fulton chance to show his
ability.
If Fulton meets Smith he i, likely
to finish him sooner than did
Gorges Carpenter, even if Smith
this time enters the ring looking like
a fighter. Smith cannot hit, but he
has considerable cleverness. Fulton
can land quite a punch if the other
fellow shows that he cannot hurt
him and as for science, Smith would
be a poor second to the plasterer.
If the bout goes through the Lon
doners will see heavyweight after
their long established standards.
They like the rangy clever kind of
heavyweight along the style of
Bombardier Wells, and they have
not yet quite accustomed themselves
to Beckett.

West Virginia Expects to
Have Great Foot Ball Team

NewYork, Aug. 30.-West Vir-
ginia is expecting a strong foot ball
eleven, according to H. A. SLAMS
bury of the department of athletics.
Five undergraduates of the strong
1916 team, who went into the
service at the first call, have one
or more years of play left
and are returning, and 10 of
the II regulars of the especially
strong team of 1917 team, which
beat Navy Dobie's team and Wash
ington and Jefferson, tied Rutgers
and played Pittsburgh 14-9, will also
return. This gives a great nucleus.
Then in 1918 the season was stop
ped entirely by the "flu" after five
weeks of practice and with a team
fully developed in which only one
man has played previously. Prac-
tically all of these men being fresh
men last year, will return. There
will be Bailey, Rodgers, Ice, Harrock,
Brooks, Martin, Hill, Kay, Mills,
Hager, Lentz, Hite and several
other men equally good. In the
squad will be five captains-elect, who

National League Owners and
Managers Oppose Freaks
Major Club Leaders Favor Rules That Would Abolish
"Shine" Ball, emery" Ball, "Spit" Ball and Any
But Legitimate Pitchers Deliveries.

New York. Aug. 50.-Ths shine
ball, emery ball, paraffin and talcum
balls, and other freak deliveries,
may 60 the way of the festive cock
tail and febrile highball, if Barney
Dreyfus and other club owners have
their way next winter.
Dreyfus contends, and rightly,
that trick deliveries are 4 big OBJ
stacle to base ball, and has set in
motion q campaign to have them all
cast out.
Whether he will have the support
Of the owners of the Giants and
Yankees is not known definitely, al
though it is probable neither will
dissent should the other club owners
agree to ban the Objectionable meth
DDS of pitching.
Never, perhaps, in the history of
the sport has there been such wide
spread use of trick deliveries as this
season. Practically every club has
at least one skinner" on "spitter"
VINO depends entirely upon foreign
substances to give his ball the es-
sential stuff.
Rules Prohibit Practice.
Although the National league has
a rule prohibiting such practices,
pitchers, and umpires, too, ignore
it, with the result that twirlers the
circuit over now are seeking to out
do one another in devising and per-
fecting illegal deliveries. Umpires
I in recent games at the Polo grounds
have Become arm weary throwing
out of play balls defaced by pitch
ers. In one game no less than six
were cast out, having either been
roughened or otherwise "doctored."
"The base ball public favors
plenty of free hitting" said Heyd-
Ter, president of the Giants, land
is opposed to sharp practice by some
of the pitchers. Personally, l be-
lieve new rules should be adopted
compelling the pitchers to depend
entirely on natural skill. 1t might
be a hardship for those who have
developed the spitball to prohibit
the use of its next year, but by max
ing new anti-spitter rule effective
in 1921 the National league would
give them ample time to change
their deliveries"
"Shine BALI Doomed.
"The so-called shine ball, which

ton of paraffin, emery or some other
substance, is doomed in our circuit.
When the rules committee meets I
will offer an amendment to the play
ing code making it illegal for
pitcher to rub the ball on any part
of his uniform. The spitball can be
wiped out later by preventing
pitcher from holding the ball near
his mouth.
Its all right for a pitcher to
moisten the tips of his fingers be-
fore delivering the ball or to put
little rosin on his hands to keep the
ball under control. But the practice
of cutting the cover of the ball
with the finger nails or roughening
the surface by rubbing it on piece
of emery paper carefully concealed

Jimmy Clabby Boxing
Well in Australian
Rings; Whips Holland

New York, Aug. 30-Following
the example of Eddie McGoorty,
once a leading contender for the
middleweight title of America,
Jimmy Clabby, who also strove for
the same title, and with no more
success than McGoorty achieved,
now is battling successfully on
foreign soil. Late advices from
Australia are to the effect that
Clabby recently won a 20-round
bout from Fritz Holland, who was 4
formidable opponent of Les Darcy
when that boxer held the middle
weight title of the antipodes.
The bout between Holland and
Clabby was bitter one and the men
have been rematched. The same
advices recount the victory of
Tommy Uren, welterweight and mid
dle-weight champion of Australia,
over Barney Thompson, in the Sgd
ney stadium. Ten thousand persons
saw this contest and 5000 were pres
ent at the Clabby-Holland bout, in
dicating that boxing again has come
into its own in Kangarooland.
Australian boxing followers and
promoters are clamoring for an
invasion from America. They want
to see some new faces in the ring,
and perhaps more class. Some of
the best boxers in Australia are on a
tour and are in the Philippines.

II am strongly in favor of pro-

to the game. Undoubtedly they
raise the standard of skill and tend
to induce the right sort of men to

Chicago Ball Fans
Make Sox Heavy
Favorites Over Reds

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 80. Especially
With the pennant race in the
two majors practically fore
gone conclusion, the first wagers
on the outcome of the worlds
series were recorded in Chi
cago's loop" this week, the
Chicago White Sox being made J
to 10 favorites among the sporting
fraternity, to trim the Cincinnati
Reds in the base ball classic. That
these odds meet the approval of the
Sox themselves is evidenced BY their
desire to wager at those odds that
they defeat the Detroit Tigers in
the morning game Labor day at
Detroit, thereby boarding the lion in
his den as it were.
1t seems to be the opinion of some
that the Reds are playing over their
heads and supporters of the Sox
fear the outcome of the series with
the Reds only by likening their
work to that of the Boston Braves
who, continued to play over their
heads in the series with the Athletics,
which they mopped up in four
straight. The Reds, imbued with the
same spirit, might repeat. the
triumph of the Braves in 1914.
But that the Sox have no such
notions is evidenced by the plan the
players have already made for
spending the worlds series spoils.
McMullen intends to finish paying
for his farm, Leibold is going to add
two more alleys to his bowling par
lors, Risberg is going to buy an auto
that will surpass Ray Schalk's and
the others all have pet ambitions
and places for the series money
which they count as good as in
their hands.

SAYS BRONSON
Manager of A. E. F. Title
Winner Declares Champion
Is Great Man; Will
Wait Awhile.

New York, Aug. 30-There will be
no fight in the near future between
Bob Martin, heavyweight champion
of the A. L. F. and Jack Dempsey.
Jimmy Bronson, who went to France
as Y. M. c. A. secretary, who
staged and referred hundreds of box
ing Journeys among the soldiers, and
who took the management of Mar
tin, was asked if he was seeking a
match for Martin with Dempsey,
and replied:
Not at the present time. | know
Jack Dempsey quite we'll and | am
convinced he is the greatest heavy
weight in the history of that divi-
sion. He unquestionably is the hard
est hitter that the heavyweight class
ever has developed, and right now
there is not living man who can
stand up against him for more than
a round or two. | have refereed
several of the battles in which
Dempsey has taken part and | have
first hand knowledge of the mans
ability and capacity.
NOuiu IOt DC 50 IOOllSll dS "
jump promising youngster like
Martin into the ring with man like
Dempsey, for it might take all ambi-
ton out OF the boy. Martin is but
p years of age and is one of the
best prospects in the heavyweight
class.
With careful handling I fail to
see how he can miss winning the
heavyweight title in the course of
time. Dempsey is 3 years older than
Martin, and in few years the cham
pion will begin to show the effect of
stage life and lack of frequent ring
battles. BY that time Martin will
be a greatly improved boxer, and
then I will ask for a match with the
champion.
Meantime l will try him out
against heavyweights OF moderate
ability and nurse him along till he
gets into his stride. 1t is fact that
100000 soldiers believe Bob can
beat any heavyweight in the world,
just as he stands today, but I do not
propose to make any matches for
him in which he would be out
Classed."

''Pop'' Geers Has Star
In Making In His 4-Year-
Old PAGER, Goldie Todd

Chicago, Aug. 30.--(Special.) -
In 1916, the star stake PAGER of the
Grand circuit was a 4-year-old
filly, Miss Harris M, which took
record of 2.0lA in winning the
classic Chamber of Commerce stake
at Detroit, that being, and still is,
the worlds record for a pacing filly
of the age. No flly of the age and
gait approached this work until the
recent Philadelphia meeting when
Pop" Geers, specialist in fast PAGERS,
won a stake with the 4-year-old
flly, Goldie Todd, one heat of which
was paced in 2:O2%. Of course this
record, on paper, hardly compares
with the mile of Miss Harris M, at
Detroit, but the Belmont park
course in Quaker City is reckoned
the slowest of the big ring tracks,
while that at Detroit is always fast.
The critics are now predicting that
"Pop" has a new champion in pro-
cess of development. She is a real
racing filly, for she has won at the
opening meeting at North Randall,
repeated at Toledo, pacing in 2:04H
at both places, then took the sup
posedly unbeatable Frank Dewey
into camp at Columbus, where she
paced in 2:04 IL in the mud
and at Belmont park trimmed
Murphy's star Sanardo which won q
heat in 2:02H at North Randall.
Goldie Todd is daughter of Todd
Mac. 2:07, trotting stallion which
raced fairly we'll few seasons back
and has gained considerable fame
as sire of late. His daughter,
Anna Bradford, was the star among
the 3-year-old PAGERS In 1914,
establishing the record for age at
2:00M in winning a futurity at
Columbus that fall, a unique record,
in that it is faster for the Agar
old record at that gait. The dam of
Goldic Todd is daughter of Zom-
bro, 2:ll, a sire of lot of big class
performers, including Ban Francisco,
2:07%. sire of St, Frisco, LII Prince
ton, Mary Putney and other great
performers.
Goldie Todd has stake engage
ments all down the line and it is
being predicted that when she
strikes some Of the real fast courses
later on she will take the Agar
old honors from Miss Harris M.
