TO MANAGERS OF ALL
 SPORTING ORGANIZATION

On behalf of clean sports, we wish to state that we deem It advisable for the promotion of better sports in this vicinity that managers when challaag ing one another through the press for games, boxing matches and the like refrain from their mud throwing knocking of one anothers business, biackenire of each others character and their wholesale personal islander. and devote themselves in a clean, wholesome way to the merits of their men or teams and the object of their challenge.
 To say the least. this has been a very nsportsmanlike way in which to promote a contest and results have shown that such contests staged un- der these methods have not only re- suited in a most unsatisfactory man ner but have been uniuteresting and strongly conducive Of rouShhouse
 Managers and others, forget your personal animosity and feelings and go into sports in a clean sportsmanllke way. The results will be apprcciable and true lovers Of sport Will be glad to give you their whole hearted sup participating Ed.

CHASE WILL BE BOOST

Clarence Rowland. manager of the Chicago White SoX when they de Ieated the Giants iii tlle Worlds series two years ago predicts that Chase will lay the Gamc of his career for thn Giants because he be- lieVes that the New York manager q good iuds" of human nIture will l'e able to handle the r'mperamental Hal Chase properly. And Chase just dotes on the hit-and-r1rn sign when there is a runner on the hascs.
 Chase is enc of the greatest hit and-run men in the sa!ne," said Rowland. He can hit tacE of a runner any time. TEere ;s where he will be invaluable to McGraw. That is Nc iraw's style Of baseball, and Chase. I'ccause of his almost un- c2nny talent in whacking the ball Wien q runncr is gons will make it possible for the Giants | 10 score many runs. l know what Chase can dc. Therefore l predict hc and Me Graw will hitch well, and the pitch ITS of the National league 1re going to be kept Dusy watching Hal when fGnners are on the bases
 The acquisition of Chase gives the Giants a wonderful l.dll club. Look over tha list of players and you ind that Fletcher is the weakest hitter on ihe squad. and he is by Nn means q feeble batsnan. He hits 20 or better / that is a mighty good average Resides he i= a dan @cTous man at the plate Then take Burns KauIEf Young.

I do not think that Chase will run amuc}z under Me Graw as he has done with other cubs. His recent experience. I think taught him T lesson.

HEATH'S TEAM PUTS MADDEN'S OUT

Capt. Jack Heath's duckpin team, tailenders in the Elks' tournament, put Capt. George Madden's team out of the running for first place Friday night when they trimmed the Madden quartette two out of three games in their match.
 At the start it looked like easy money for Capt. Madden's team, as they led their opponents 374 to 33S in the first game, but the tables were turned on the next two when Capt. Heath called for bigger scores and his men responded with a fine exhibition of the never say-die spirit that took the last two games by comfortable margins.
 Thompson of the losing team won double honors with high single of 109 and tieing Adams of the winners for high three string total with 2S9.

WILLARD WILL NOT DIGNITY
 CHARGE OF FAKE WITH DENIAL

Lawrence, Kan, March I4-"Jack Johnson simply needs the money and is trying to put over another match" was the comment of Jess Willard when shown the statement received from Havana today in which Johnson claim ed the championship bout with Willard four years ago was a prearanged at- fair.
 There is absolutely nothing to it." Willard continued. T refuse to dignity the statement with a denial for as far as I am concerned it is simply a crude joke.
 Tn view of the fact that there were sport writers and fight critics from all over the world in Havana when 1 won the championship from Johnson, it is foolish to suppose that q fake could have been perpetrated even if 1 had been so low as to cOuntenahce such an arrangement.

 When The Associated Press repre- sentative asked Willard if he wished to make formal denial of Johnson's charges. Willard exclaimed rather im- patiently:
 Certainly not. I have nothing to deny. Is it not apparent that there is no foundation for such bunk as this? That guy just wants to force me into another fight"
 Willard added that Johnson was a long time getting around to his story. It takes considerable nerve to admit being party to a fraud and in the same breath wanting to arrange an other bout

MRS. WIGHTMAN TAKES TENNIS
 TITLE FROM MISS BJURSTEDT

New York, March 14.-Mrs. George w. Wightman of Boston made a re- markable comeback" by winning the national indoor tennis championship in singles and doubles on the courts of the Seventh Regiment armory here to- day.
 In the final of the singles Mrs. Wightman became the successor of Miss Molla Bjurstedt who did not compete in the tournament, by defeat ing Miss Marion Zinderstein of the Longwood Cricket club, Boston. The score was 2-6, 6-1, 6-4
 Mrs. Wightman and Miss Zinderstein outplayed Mrs. Albert Humphreys and Miss E. G. Holden, New York Tennis club, i'll the doubles. The score was 6-1, 6-1.
 The achievement of Mrs. Wightman in winning a national championship establishes a record on the American courts, as she is the first player to regain a championship after a lapse of eight years. As Miss Hazel HotchkisS of California she held the national title on turf courts in 1909, 1910 and 1911.
 Mrs. Nightman conquered Miss Zin- derstein by her clever changes of pace, her greater variety of game and her steadiness. She wrecked the fast drives of the younger player and caused her to send the ball into the net by her diversity of stroke.

Jack Dempsey ran across the presi- dent in Washington the other day and the president told Jack that he was very pleased to meet him. And they talked, too. Talked of the coming bout.

 "A lot of people think you can win the coming fight"
 Dempsey Grinned, showed his golden bantam teeth and replied:
 "A lot of people lnlnll perfectly right, MT. President I will win

A NEW VISION

While the victory Of the American press and President
Wilson for open sessions Of the peace conference was not
sweeping, the principle was adopted, and the sessions will be
closed only upon necessary occasions"
The principle of open covenants openly arrived at was
announced by President Wilson several times in advance OF the
assembling OF the delegates. 1t was a strange doctrine to the
European politicians, and it is worthy Of note that while he had
the support OF the British representatives the remainder Of the
delegates were either hostile or received the suggestion with a
GOODNESS that seemed to foretel its failure.
Those peoples, however, have been aroused by the president.
lie has had an opportunity to talk with them and give them an
mixing Of American freedom. The ruling classes have not
rejoiced in the strange doctrine of the president, but they could
i'll afford to protest against il.
After all, the people fought the war and won it. 1t is due
them that they should know what they won and the extent Of
their victory.
If President Wilson should accomplish nothing more than
to insure ample publicity and a recognition Of the right of the
people to know what is going on, his trip would be fruitful OF
results. Except for his presence there is no doubt that the
world would be compelled to sit patiently and await the issuance
Of the daily %communique, provided anything were accomplished.
1t was even suggested that there should be no discussion Of any
subject publicly until it was determined.
Under the ruling as adopted there may not be the fullest
publicity, but a step forward has been taken in the admission
that the public is entitled to know what is transpiring. The rep
resentatives of the American press have been truly representative
OF the American people III their fight against secrecy. The
additional advantage may come from the heartening effect the
result will have upon the people Of other countries in their
struggle for their rights.
