CARTWRIGHT Determined
TO STOP ALL ROWDYISM
p. q. A. President Fines Two More
SemI.Pro Players

George p. Cartwright, president of
the Philadelphia Baseball Association,
is determined to eliminate rowdyism
from the semi-prO games.
Bob Hamilton. of Stenton, was
chased from the field by Umpire Rekus,
Of South Phils- Chester fame. for cuss-
ing when, his team played against
Bridesburg last Monday evening. In
the game between Philadelphia Ter
minal and Stonehurst, at Forty eighth
and Walnut streets. last night, Umpire
Moore chased Ed Ralston, Of the Rail
road nine. from the contest for throwing
dirt at his highness.
Cartwright received the reports OF
both umpires last night and Immediately
decided to fine both players. He also
announced that the four Chester play =
ers-Jake Munich, Bris Lord. Bill Pier
son and Ayou-whom he fined for par
ticipation in the riot at Shetzlne Park,
Broad and Bigler streets, August Il,
had until tonightto pay their fines. In
case they do not, they will be sus-
pended indefinitely and will have to

FLOYD F|Tz OUTA
LUCK AS PROMOTER
Has Two Abandoned Arenas on
Hands-Faces Serious FL
nanciaI Losses
ALL HIS MATCHES FllV

Chicago. Aug. 23.-The humble box
ing fan pats his fiat pocketbook and
dreams Of fabulous property that comes
to the boxing promoter who is made rich
overnight.
But all is not sunshine and roses for
the promoters. Some come out ahead,
but the extraordinary case Of Floyd
Fitzsimmons, the Michigan City Ind.)
promoter, today furnishes n shining il
lustration of what may happen to the
unlucky.
Fitzsimmons not only faces serious
financial losses, but has on his hands
an abandoned arena at Benton Harbor,
Mich, where Jack Dempsey battered
Billy Miske to defeat in three rounds
two years ago.; and the beautiful struc-
ture at Michigan City, Ind. in which
FitzsimmOns intended to stage match
between Dempsey and Bill Brennan on
Labor Day.
Fitzsimmons is said to face a loss OF
800, 900 as result of Governor Nc
Cray's opposition to the heavyweight
contest Labor Day.
The unlucky promoter started the
season with lightweight match july
between Benny Leonard, the title
holder. and Rocky Kansas, the Buff
falo challenger.
The receipts did not come up to fX.
pcctations and after all expenses Dad
been paid, Ficsimmons, in the IAN
guage of the ring, was left with about
the price of a cup Of coffee.
With the gates at SOD 900. Leonard
walked away with SO 900, while Kan
saS received about S1J. 600
Disaster began to creep up to FitG-
simmons when he staged the match be-
tween Leonard and Ever Hammer. n
Chicagoan. on August :. Leonard had
been guaranteed 100000.
The receipts were just above $21, =
600 and left Fitzsimmons with a loss
Of about $4,000. He was obliged TO dig
into his pockets to meet Hammer S
share and also for the prcliminaricl
and expenses of promotion.
Fitzsimmons is now left with a cost
ly arena on his hands in which he can
stage nothing more exciting than spar
ring matches.
