ROTTERDAM. Saturday. September
27.-AN the Dutch shipping, aggre-
eating approximately half million
tons, which was requisitioned by the
United States in March. 1918, has
now either been returned to the
Dutch ownerS or II in process Of re-

Just Consider This.

No matter what your affiliations
may be, just consider the fairness Of
this:
Here are two teams, A and B. They
are fighting for a major league pen
nant. A is immensely wealthy; B is
poorer, though not a pauper.
In the middle of this hot battle for
the pennant, A trades a pitcher with
bum wing to G for one OF the
three or four best catchers in the
business. A trades an outfielder. who
has refused to report to d, for one
of the leading pitchers in the bust
ness. A trades two pitchers with bad
arms, another still in the minors and
4 minor league catcher with a wad
OF money, for one OF the best left
handed pitchers in the game today.
L gets this assortment OF junk and
says it's satisfied
a is the New York Giants, with b
the Cincinnati Reds. is the St.
Louis Cardinals, who traded Snyder
for Schupp. d is the Chicago Cubs.
who snapped Douglass for Robertson.
The last club receiving the junk for
Art Nehf is the Boston Braves.
Should the supporters of the Giants
raise many flags OF triumph il the
Reds are beaten out in this National
League race OF 1919?
The Washington times., 1919-08-05
Letting En- Get Away.

The failure of the Washington club
owners to put a team in the pennant
race is losing for them much support
that is running away to the sandlots
and the tennis courts, not to mention
the golf links. Waiting too long may
result in effectual weaving of these
fans from the local American League
Club.
For years Washington was known
as the best baseball town in the
country" because. it constantly sup
ported a loser. Accustomed TO seeing
it's National League entry finish last,
or close to last, in a twelve-club cir
cult, Washington fandom knew no
better. 1t wasn't loyalty, it was mere
ignorance. Along came Clark Griffith
in 1912 and Washington got a taste
of winning baseball. Never since has
washington been satisfied with a
loser.
It is unlikely that Washington
fans will ever again be the enthu-
siastic rooters they were in the days
OF Win Mercer. They have been edu-
Gated above the standard Of baseball
shown them in those DAYS. Now they
are enthusiastic. but they arc also
critical. The longer the team occu-
pies a hopeless position the more crit
ical they become. They are now
cured OF their earlier infatuation.
Now they admit they'll root for a
team with a chance at the pennant.

However, the willingness OF cham
pions to go out of their class argues
much against their being able to make
the weight OF their own class. Benny
Leonard is said to be willing to meet
Nike O'Dowd at 15S pounds, yet
Leonard made 135 pounds the day he
finished Freddie Welsh and took the
worlds lightweight title. There is
some margin of difference between 13S
and 15S pounds, but many who have
seen Leonard in recent bouts do not
hesitate in saying that he is really
weller, having completely grown out
Of his class.
Jack Britton will not be meeting
O'Dowd for the first time in August
% at Newark, N. ]. Indeed, it will be
their fourth meeting, O'Dowd having
gained in weight fast in recent years.
on June Is, 1915, Britton got de-
cision in twelve rounds over ODowd
at Boston.
Twice they have battIed ten-round
no-decision contests-at st. Paul, jan
uary 25, 1917. and at Brooklyn, May
8, 1917. Both these bouts came be-
fore O'Dowd won the championship.
He knocked out Al Mccoy in New
York on November IA, 1917, in six
rounds for the title. and almost imme-
diately went into the army.
O'Dowd has been discharged from
the army only a few weeks. He sig
nalized his return to the ring by ad-
ministering knockouts to Al Mccoy.
from whom he won the title, and
Young Fisher, a tough Syracuse boxer.
He is now matched to box Mike Glib
bons at Minneapolis on Labor Day.
and probably reasons that an eight
round, no-decision contest with such a
clever performer as Britton will just
about hx him for a victory over the
"St Paul Phantom"
