Wilmington fans are displaying
keen interest in the appearance or
Saturday at Harlan Field of the
Major League All-Stars. and partic-
ularly TO the appearance in the line
up OF Stanley Lefty" Baumgartner
The interest is heightened by the
fact that he is known personally to
many Of the fans through his ath-
lctic dictatorship at the University
of Delaware few years ago.
Baumgartner's has been check
cred career, beginning as the star
three-letter man at Chicago Univer-
sfty. He was not only the mainstay
of the nine. but was an exceptionally
good end in football, and a star on
the basketball court. From college
Lefty stepped directly into the big
show, where he was a sensation for
a year with the Phillies, when that
club was found among the leaders
in the National League. Then came
a year of Indifferent playing and he
was shunted TO the New York State
League. Becoming tired OF the
bushes he sought a job as an
athletic director Of q college, and II
was then that he came 10 Della I
ware.
From there Lefty" took himself
TO the never-to- be-forgotten Steel |
League. and as a member of the |
Bethlehem nine he appeared before |
local fans. Stan remained there for
two years. and while in the Penn
sylyania city also took a hand in
assisting the coach.at Lehigh. The
past winter brought startling news,
when "Kize" Wilhelm in his efforts

announced comeback by Baum

of six years. the Chicagoan return

didn't lift the pills far out OF last

ball. but he took up boxing when
the law was passed in New Jersey
and he made big success of it.
The first real test of power be-
tween Richard and Driscoll came in
the skirmish to get Jimmy Wilde.
worlds fyweight champion, to come
over from England and fight Pancho
Villa, the American champion, for
the title. Driscoll got the contract
and in his words-"It would knock
lot of eyes out If they saw the rea-
sonable figures on the contract"
Previously when Richards an
nounced that the was after GER
tain fight or fighter. all the other
promoters laid off through the be-
lief that they couldn't buck him on
a bidding game.
Some interesting angles on ball
park boxing are brought out by Dris-
coll, who maintains that both the
Polo Grounds and the new Yankee
stadium are too big for boxing.
Where are the fights that will
draw 100000 spectators? Dempsey
and Wills. of course, but what other
ones? Driscoll says.
Drawing power of boxing cards is
grossly overestimated and exagger-
ated. Ask the ordinary fan how
many fights have drawn 10000 at
the gate and he will say off hand that
there were at least a hundred. Tell
him to name them over and he
can't.
THE Kilbane-Burns featherweight
championship fight in Jersey City in
1919 drew $500 at 81 and 50 and II
made record up to that time. The
Dempsey Carpenter fight is on rec.
ord for 10000, but that is an over
estimated number. Willie Jackson
and Johnny Dundee made a record
at Madison Square Garden last win
ter when they drew $4,000. Benny
Leonard and Jack Britton drew
$4,000 this summer and Harry Wills
and Tut" Jackson drew the same
for me in Brooklyn. Leonard and
Kansas drew $1,000 in Harrison and
Carpenter and Levinsky drew H.
900. Where are the bouts that will
outdraw them and what good are
seats for 100000 when you have a
tough time getting 10000 to a fight.

be conducive of better football.
The Chicks and Cats have actually
engaged in one game apiece and
both of these contests have been
against Defiance Offering some COM
harrison of their relative strength.
Both teams went down to defeat be-
fore the Bulldogs by scores that diff
fered but little. the Forty Acreites
dropping before 1870 count while
the Saints were subdued, 90. As
far as comparative scores are con-
cerned this indicates that Saturdays
battlers are about evenly matched.
Both teams struggled strenuously
against Defiance and did not concede
being counted out until the Anal
whistle blew. Since then they have
been working out regularly and with
the Improvement that comes with
practice. both teams can be expect
ing surprises from their opponents.
In the standing the Saints and
Chicks are tied for last place and
both will make their bid to get
among the leaders.
The mixup which came with last
weeks scheduled game between Sew
enth Ward and Parkside and stands
as a forfeit to the latter, has not
been Strengthened out TO the salts
faction of al concerned and to the
sport public at large from the varied
comment heard about the city. The
game must stand according u the
official ruling, a victory, for Park
side. but there are many who think
the game should be played Sew
enth Ward maintains that they were
victims Of a spurious phone call but
that they can do nothing as the facts
in the case stand. II is understood
that some effort has been made to
play off the game on one of TIE days
on which both teams are open.

him If he would be willing to take
charge of the big arena for the win

said to be still pending.
Richard is said to be in bad with
