RED SoX CLUB SQUABBLES
KEEPING CHAMPIONS BACK

BOSTON. June 13.-Squabbles in
the camp Of the worlds champion
Red Sox are keeping the club back
in the race, despite all the denials
issued by the management It is well
known here that Jack Barry and
Dave Shean have their supporters
among the players, and the end will
surely be total disruption Of the 1918
leaders.
Ed Barrow is the center OF many
strange tales. II seems a foreEone
conclusion that. II he finishes out the
season, he will not be here in 1920
Harry FraZee is expected to make
deals bringing a hitting outfielder to
Fcnway Park within a few days, but
harmony among the Red Sox now
here would go far toward making the
team "A winner.

PAT MORAN AFTER
DAVEY ROBERTSON

Pat Moran is determined to keep
the Reds up there fighting for the
pennant and he is busy trying to
land an outfielder. While the Rob
ins were in his midst he made an
offer to the Brooklyn club for either
Jimmy Johnson or Jimmy Hickman.
Moran wanted to buy one Of the two
Outfielders outright. but Uncle Rob
bic would not sell. It is rumored
around PorkviIIe that Moran, having
failed to land one Of the Robin out
fielders, Is now negotiating with the
Pirates for Max Carey. 1t is said that
Moran will give Bezdek a catcher and
a large sum for the fieet-fOoted Pr
rate. The Pirates are in need OF a
good backstop and Moran will make
strenuous effort TO put the deal
through.
Moran wants an oUt1elder who bats
right handed. as he has enough left
handed batters in his lineup now.
However. II he figures that il Is i'm
possible to lure Carey from the Pr
rates he may try to buy Davy Rob
ertson. a left handed batter. from
the Giants.

Never sure of anything in my whole
life smiled the champion in reply.
And Ill tell you the reasons for my
confidence. I'm hitting harder today
than ever before in my life; I've got
two new punches left uppercut and
a left hook-that will damage Demp-
sey, and I'll be in such shape on the
Fourth that no matter how fast that
boy travels III keep step with him.

Dempsey is figuring that he can
hurt perhaps even bring me
down-with body punches. Well, let
him try-to his sorrow. Ny stomach

that Hemple and MOnahan have been

Dempsey is quite a hitter. m told
but so is Monahan. And don't let any
one tell you otherwise"
Perhaps he'll clip you on the jaw
some one suggested.
4 expect he will-bUt If he figures
that a clip on the jaw is going to win
for him he may suffer a great disap-
pointment. Jack Johnson hit me on
the jaw-in every part OF the jaw.
But he never dropped me. And Jack

ought to convince a few skeptics that I
can take some beating, should it not?"
He's Clumsy With IL.
Wizards new hook has been in
evidence during the last week or so,
but it hasn't caused an awful lot Of
enthusiasm among his admirers. That
is largely because Jess just now is a
bit clumsy in its delivery. And the
same thing is true concerning his left
UpperCut.
I think I'll flash more boxing skill
against Dempsey than in any other
fight of my career" concluded Will
lard. Il never took a boxing lesson
in my life. All 1 know ! have picked
up by experience or by watching other
fellows. Constant boxing, especially
in the circus, caused me to try some
new tricks both in defense and at
tack, and 1 guess I'll spring a little
surprise on the folks when l get I'M

Champ Still Missing
His Punches
By HYPE IGOE.

TOLEDO, June 13.-I still
insist that Willard misses in
woeful fashion. His left jabs
with tremendous power behind
them evidently are fairly accu-
rate. Not so with his right hand
ers. Willard is not hitting the
bulls eye here and doesn't seem
to be getting the range as the
days fit by. His once famous
right-hand upper cut, the one
they said would crumple Frank
Moran in Madison Square Gar
den, is lost. Jess seems to have
forgotten that blow for a one
two that is anything but perfec-
ton for the simple reason that
his right seldom lands at all. He
makes up for miss, however,
by clinching and rolling about
the other fellows shoulders,
bearing down with his full
weight.

WONDERFUL BLESSINGS, GREAT
COMFORTS, But NOT ANGELS.

"One cannot be with children with
out desiring to bow down and worship
at the feet of these little ones so re-
Gently from the divine" Thus a
dear lady writes for one of the Wo-
mans magazines.
1t is safe bet this good lady never
had any children and never associat-
ed very much with children except un-
der more or less conventional circum-
stances. Moreover if she ever does
have any children it is a safe bet,
though she may love them and be
willing to die for them, their proxim-
ity to the Divinity will never awe
her.
Children are wonderful blessings
and great comforts which bring hap
piness and a pleasure that is above the
power of human expression, but their
saintliness, their cherubic traits are
not what impress their familiar asso-
ciates including their parents. Their
energy, their artful lodging of tasks,
their unfailing curiosity and their op-
timistic impressions regarding the i'm
perishableness of clothes and things
that impress the average parent or
guardian more than piety of the
young hopefuls.
Those dutiful men and women who
are raising or who have raised the
average child, especially the average
American boy, would not exchange the
responsibility for any thing else in the
world, but they are not troubled with
illusions about the mate godliness of
their offspring or charges.
They know that it is much easier to
get them ready for the movies or for
circus than it is to get them to Sun
day school on time; that often times
they prefer fishing or a robbers cave
to the class room at school; that
sometimes they prefer to take a cat
apart to see what makes it yowl than
to take seriously the "I-love-dear-pus-
sy-her-coat-is-so-warm" stuff, and
truth telling is not always an inherent
instinct, nc~ is respect for property
rights.
Foregather with mother some
wash day, with three or four of these
angels about her, splashing in the
suds, getting their fingers in the
wringer, firing a 12-hour string of
questions, losing the clothespins in the
coal bin, and nabbing a sheet for a
tent. Along about V p m. you'll hear
maternal admonition that never was
intended for angels.
And about bed time those sleepy,
cuddle tots will be gathered up, and
rocked, and kissed, and loved, and
loved, and loved.
And they will fall asleep in each
others arms, and make you believe
in angels again; until daybreak tomor-
row morning.
