ROBBY REFUSES
TO BE A PIRATE
And Thus Three Cornered
Baseball Deal Is Frustrated !

The recent move of Dave Robertson
in refusing to join the Pirates, to which
club he had been sold by the Giants,
adds apother chapter to the three-cor-
Tered deal which has interested the big
league fans for many weeks. The latest
bolt on the part OF the Virginian is the
direct result of the failure Of the three
cornered deal, planned by the Giants,
Cardinals and Senator'S, to materialiSe
because of the opposition of Barney
Dreyfuss. When Dreyfuss refused to
waive on Robertson, SO that Dave might
be sent to Washington, DOC" Lavan
from Washington to the Cardinals and
Mike Gonzales from the Cardinals to
the Giants, NcGraw, Branch Hickey and
Clark Griffith made new plans, in the
formation of which they interested
lated to bring about results similar to
those aimed at in the original scheme
and had a cash basis. So
Griffith, under the new arrangements
was to sell Layan to the Cardinals,
Hickey was to be reimbursed by cash
handed over by the Giants in exchange
for Gonzales and MeGraw was to get
back the amount paid for the Cuban
catcher by selling Robertson to the Pi-
preparation OF the first phases Of the
deal. IAvan waived out Of the Ameri.
can leayhe, was sold to the Cardinals
and Gonzales was purchased by the
Giants. The sale OF Robertson wae
eonsummated, but Dave promptly
baked when Informed Of it. Robertson
is determined to play in Washington
but Dreyfuss is determined that the
only way. the Virginian will get out
of the league is by the route just taken
by Davy.

BOSTON RED S0x
MISS DUFFY LEWIS
Californian a Big Factor in

The Boston team individually and as
a whole greatly regrets the passing OF
Duffy Lewis, Likewise the patrons or

Bang In NE Cleveland News, No one
In the history Of the game in that city

The Boston players are not discour-
nged at the slow start tho club has
made. They can offer any number Of
excuses for the failure Of the club TO
get away to n flying start. To n man,
however, they believe that If the club
does fail TO grab the bunting, that said
failure will be due as much to the alb
sence OF Lewis from left field as any
other reason that might be cited, Bos-
ton has already lost a great number OF
games by one run this year.

other hand, both Chandler and NC.
Mahon sampled June Red and decided
that while she had free-for-al speed

what was desired in fast company.
In 1914, the year that june Red MADE
her time record of 2:0S, Chandler won
with her at Galesburg and Milwaukee,
while he was outside of the money, IN
four events, the flag falling In her
face in three of them, Mcmahon nau

Fletcher leased her with an opuon 10
purchase II she came up to expecta-
lions. He sent her home, however
after being distanced at North Ran
dali and Detroit and finishing OUTSIDE
the money at Kalamazoo.
June Reds only start in 1875 was
at Indianapolis, where she was un.
placed in 2:10A. BY this time 1t looked
as II she was useless as a racing TOOL
but as a last resort her breeder, s. 3;
McCord, of Paris, Ill, placed the Red
Medium mare in "Knap" McCarthy's
stable at Terre Haute. He took her
for a cruise over the half-mile tracks
in the Michigan circuit. The nrst
start was made at Bay City, where
June Red was d~istanced as usual.
Mccarthy was not discouraged, how
ever, and the next time out anage

roe. This was followed by a slx-heat
victory, the first since 1914, at JACK,
son, where she defeated stephen and
Frances Belmont. June Red also won
at Saginaw and Mount Clemens, where
she trotted a fifth heat in 2;12A over
a half-mile track. BY this time KNAPP
was satisfied that he had found a trot-
ter, which with a little more schooling
to give her confidence IN herself and
the whiz and whirr of racing, that
would take him back into Grand CIR
cult company, where he had made his
mark with Little Brown jug, Geneva

with the fast fields at Detroit and
North Randall before saving her en-
trance in a fair race at Youngstown
and finishing second to Peter Dallas
at indianapolis in 2:10. This event was
followed by another second at Spring
field, where June Red forced Charley
Rex out in 2:07A, and a win at Dan
Vile, where she trotted the half-mile
track in 2:12h.
s. B. McCord a y that after this
race Mccarthy advised him to hold
June Red over for 1918, when\he was
satisfied that she would trot In 2:05.
The returns show that "Knap" did not
oyerrate the mare, although he did
not live to come back with her.
When it was necessary to select an
other trainer, S. B. McCord shipped
June Red to Geers. He prepared her
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-06-12

for her second Grand Circuit series
and finally on June 80 bought her. II
was also a very fortunate selection for
the old master, as June Red proved
one of the most useful t~rotters that
was ever In his stable.
No n considered June Red very
seriously when Geers appeared with
her at the first Cleveland Grand Cir
cult meeting. There was a new star
on the horizon, however, at sunset. In
the interval the pair Of old ones had
trimmed Bertha Mcclure and Binville
in 2:07h. At Kalamazoo, June Red
won again in 2:06k from Allan Watts,
Gar Peter and Prince Loree, after
each of them carried her a heat. This
was followed by a five-heat battle with
Alma Forbes and Chilcoot at Toledo,
where June Red won again and made
her record Of 2:05H. BY that time the
public was convinced that Geers had
the edge on the most Of the ~trotters
in the class vents n no n was
surprised when June Red defeated Lot
to Watts and The Royal Knight at
Columbus in 2:06H.
Skipping the Cleveland August meet
ing, June Rec made her next start at
Belmont park, Philadelphia, where she
won from Alma FORBES and Blanche
Carter, the latter forcing her out in
2:06h. She also won at Poughkeepsie
from Chilcoot in '2:05%, after which
she failed to show her true form at
Readville, Hartford and Syracuse. BY
this time the drivers who had been
chasing June Red for 10 weeks de-
eided that she had reached the end
Of the road but they had another guess
coming after the Columbus meeting,
where she finished in front Of The Tod
dler and Wilkes Brewer i've a heavy
track in 2:07h. June Red also won q
first n a second at Atlanta, after
failing to reach Ante Guy in the Wal
nut Hall Gun at Lexington.
Wins 8 Of 13.
On her comeback trip, Geers started
June Red in IS races of which she won
eight, seven of them being off the reel,
and $13, $50 which made her the cham
pion aged money winning trotter Of the
season. 1t is doubtful II there ever was
another fast trotter that made such a
peculiar series of campaigns as June
Red, the only one approaching her in
this respect being st. julien, who was
kept on the retired list for two years
to recover from a scare caused by a
band at Sacramento, and upon his re-
turn became the champion trotter OF
the world.
In 1914 June Red won two out of
seven races. In 1915 she was unplaced
in three and in 1915 failed in one, Nc
Carthy won four out of II races with
her in the front row, or as Cox re-
marked, Run her in the back of the
stable a half-miler and brought her
out in front a stake winner" Up to
date June Red has started in IS races
of which she won IA, vas second in
three, third in two, fourth in two, and
unplaced in IA. She a trotted 116
heats, of which she won 30, 81 of them
being placed to her credit hast year.
June Red will also add a few more
this year, as she has engagements at
all Of the Grand Circuit meetings.

ened Themselves for Endu-
, rance and Hard Battle.

The training plans of Jess Willard
and Jack Dempsey bring to mind the
fact that the methods pursued by pres
ent-day boxers TO tit themselves for
a battle differ considerably from those
followed by tho old-timers.
The main reason for the change IL
the fact that the present-day millers
train for speed primarily and endurance
secondarily. The old boys used to
tougher themselves for n grueling,
heart breaking. man-crushlng battle,
Endurance was the prime requisite a
decade n more ago. Often 1t was the
man who could take tho most pun
ishment who eventually won the long
drawn out battles.
Today the man who can step faster,
tap quicker n step away quickly has
the edge,
The reason OF this change Is the cut
ting down OF the rounds from 20 or
moro 20 10 and 10 cantos.
Bat Nelson was about the last MEM
Der Of the old iron-men brigade. About
tho time his star began TO fade the
shorter bouts came into vogue.

One Of the important changes in
training methods is the cutting down
close to elimination of road work. Fifty
