President Breadon Puts II Up
! To Sportsmanship of His
] Followers.

ST. LOUIS, June 20 - President
Sam Breadon. OF the Cardinals, has
made request to st. Louis base
ball fans to return the balls which
daily slide into the grand stand.
This item of expense has been enor-
NOUS. according to magnates, and
they have been trying to devise
some way of having the basebalis
returned.
President Breadon's idea arrived
yesterday in a printed message en-
closed in the scorecsrd. 1t read:
"Attention-The st. Louis Cardfu-
hl Baseball Club Is spending it's
money to bring a winner to st.
Louis. Balls hit into the stands are
worth $3.50 each. Amy ball kept
sneans that $3.50 is stolen from the
club. All true sportsmen and low
ers of clean baseball will encourage
eur efforts to have these balls re-
turned to the playing field"
Although the Cardinals and
Browns have hired special ushers to
trail the elusive foul ball. the
sieuths have not been very success
full in their mission. as neighbor-
ing fans always shout: Keep It"
when ball is caught.

NAVY EIGHT SETS

Midshipmen Loom Favorites To-
day As Result Of Great Trial
on Hudson Course.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y..>June 20.--
The Navy's varsity eight assumes a
commanding position today in the
speculation regarding the outcome of
the varsity race in the regatta on
Wednesday, and 1t is certain that IL
will start favorite.
The sudden jump in the stock of the
midshipmen came when II was re-
ported in rowing circles that in the
time trial over the three-miie course
yesterday afternoon the Navy eight
was recorded in the hitherto unex-
ampled time of just a few seconds
over fourteen minutes, under tidal
conditions considerably worse than
those that will prevail on the day
Of the big race.
The best recorded time for the
three-mile distance is the IA minutes
40 seconds hung up by the Pennsyl-
vania varsity last week under fairly
good conditions, but what makes the
showing OF the middies stand out so
pre-eminently is the fact that Jim
! Rice, the Columbia coach, who knows
the river like a book, has made the
public declaration that the big race
will be won in fSom II minutes 10 Sec
onds, to IA minutes so seconds
John Hoyle caused a flicker of ex-
element by stating that he would
make definite announcement today as
to his selection OF CorneIps entry for

Says Any Man Is Willing to Whip the Children
Il His Wife Will Thra sh the Pots and Pans
BY JOHN p. MEDBURY.

/ While he's securing the town
she's securing the Kettles.
The poor little girl gets married
for home and all she gets is a
lot of dishes.
There ought to be something in
the marriage ceremony which
would make the men bathe the
Haviland three times a week.
If bachelors liked to wash dishes
there wouldn't be so many restau-
rants. ~
A man will go and buy himself a
nice golfng outfit, riding habit
and an evening suit, and the only
costume that some of them buy for
their wives is an apron and a dust
ing cap.
Why don't you men stop and
think how tiresome II must be for
your wife to be a sparring partner
to lot of dishes.
The ring is usually set between
two drain boards and there's no
referee.
Nobody is around to give de-
cision, and the battle of the pots
and pans is always a finish fight.
The boxing match between your
wife and the cups and saucers
doesn't draw much of a crowd, but
you're doing her a favor if you
give her the gate.

about the ring was in a mad turmoil,
men and women standing up In their
seats and screaming Themselves
hoarse.
Few had expected this sort Of

There was so much confusion that

showed seven.
1t is not surprising that the fever
of excitement was transmitted to Ollie
Pecord, the referee. He was a Toledo
man who was no raw hand at
refereeing, but who had never before
officiated in a big championship bout.
Many who saw the fight will always
believe that Willard was down on the
floor beyond the allotted ten seconds
on at least two occasions. However,
perhaps it is best that he was not
counted out then, TO preclude the ar
gument of accident.

From each knockdown. the big man

He was such pitiful looking object
that as Dempsey paved and slashed
at him numerically, some of the
spectators were crying:

dazed. Willard was at no time uncon-
scious. Once while lying on the floor
he peered at Pecord through swollen,
swimming eyes, and asked:
what is it?''
Kearns had a private timekeeper
behind him in Dempsey's corner keep
i5g track OF the flying seconds and
minutes. At each knockdown. this
timekeeper called the count in
Kesrns' ear, lifting his voice high
above the tumult-"one, two. three"
