SUFFERS FATE
Of VICTORIOUS
BASEBALL CLUB
Louisville, Champions Of Minor
League, Besieged With
Demands for Increases.

LOUISVILLE, Feb. 22.-When
club wins a worlds series there
usually is a gread demand for higher
salaries the following year by the
players OF the championship club.
Now the Louisville club, Of the
American Association, which won
the junior worlds series from the
Baltimore Orioles, is experiencing
that situation.
Hold-outs among the Colonies are
numerous. Chief among them is
Manager Joe Mccarthy. Joe re-
ceived an increase over last years
salary, but the manager Of the
Colonies did not consider It enough.
Ben lineup. pitcher; Al Ellis, right
fielder. and Catcher Bradley Kocher
are other prominent hold-outs.
Two offers were made Mccarthy
The first was for $4,000 a year for
three years as a manager, and Sc, 900
a year for one year as a player
manager. He has refused both Of
fers and is holding out for $4,000 for
yearly contract. He is said to have

accept either offer of the local club
he will remain out of baseball for
the coming season.
Mccarthy is left in an unpleasant
predicament, for he in under Il
players contract. Therefore he is
not allowed to dicker with any other
club in organized baseball On the
other hand, Owner w. f. Knebel-
kamp may manage the team IL Nc
Carthy falls TO accept terms, accord
Ing to a rumor. Knebelkamp has
had experience with amateur clubs
and was the talk of the town several
years ago with his old Grand Dad
champions.
Within less than a month the
Colonies will be off for their training
camp at Pensacola, Fla. II will be
almost the same party that annexed
the championship from the Orioles.
Charlie Herzog, Of course, is an ex-
ception. Many Of the athletes will
go direct to the spring training camp
from their homes.

Danny Edwards Here.

~ GORGE MOORE, a we'll
II known and highly re-
~ spectsd colored man from
the Northwest, a man of con-
siderable means and one of the
leading fistic promoters of his
part of the country, is in New
York.
He has brought with him DAN
ny Edwards, the colored bantam
weight, pronounced by such good
judges as Jack Kearns and Rob-
ert Edgren to be one of the
greatest little fighters in the bust
ness. Edwards has whipped the
sensational Babe Herman, al
though Herman outweighed him
quite bit.
Moore wants TO show Edwards
in New York against the best
little white fighters, but he has
bumped up against the unwrit-
ten. rule against mixed bouts SO
far as the professional clubs are
concerned. These mixed bouts
are permitted in the amateur
LOuTnd"enLS anu III Iilc NdIiOHdi
Guard armories.
Billy Roche, who is running
the Guard shows, is putting Ed
wards on with X. o. Eggers in
the near future, and will try
to find other opponents for the
coast phenom. In the meantime
Charley Cook, the Duke of West
End Avenue, comes forward with
proposition that may interest
Moore.
Cook is managing George
Marks, the little sensation from
California, who claims several
decisions over Edwards. Cook
saws if Edwards will make l1S
pounds for Marks he will con-
sent to a match anywhere it can
be put on.
II Edwards is as good as Dix
on, as some of his admirers
claim, and if Marks can lick Ed
wards, that ought to be a buzz
zer of a bout.

VIRGINIA SENDS
BIC SQUAD To
HILLTOP MEET
Twenty-Six Men Will Repre-
sent Old Dominion Uni
versity Here.

Virginia will bring a squad OF
twenty-six men to the Georgetown
University indoor games at Conven.
ton Hall on March 8. Included in
the Charlottesville entrants will be
shorty" Dunlap, Lee Douglas, Al
Stands, and George Stands, all for
mer school boys of the Capital.
Dunlap is expected to enter the low
hurdles. Lee Douglas, who formerly
performed for Western, will be seen
in the open $40 and low hurdles,
while the Stands boys will run in
the relays and open mile.
Virginia will be represented IN
every event on the program. Pop"
I.anigan's charges expect to make
strong bid for the team point-trophy.
Especially formidable entrants from
the Old Dominion are Davis and
Chamberlain in the high jump. both
having bettered six-two in compe-
tition. Another is Winston who is
doing forty-one feet consistently in
the shot.put.
Word was received today from
Lafayette that its entry in the special
match relay with its ancient rival,
Lehigh, had to be withdrawn because
OF faculty action. Lafayette was re-
stricted this year to five out of town
trips, and since the quota already
has been exceeded, the college
authorities refused to lend their con.
sent to the teams appearance In the
Convention Hall games.
However. an effort now is being
made to obtain a relay team from
Washington and Lee to compete with
Lehigh's flying four. In event Wash
ington and Lee is not obtained, Le-
high probably will be seen in action
against the Johns Hopkins team.

Minor Leagues Will
Show a Revival
This Season

A revival Of minor baseball
leagues is indicated this year,
according to advices received in
baseball offices. At least six
new organizations have been
formed and others are being dis
cussed. These leagues are go
ing ahead for the season with
out the settlement Of the draft
controversy.
Minor league baseball suf-
fered more from the war than
did the majors. Many organi-
cations were compelled to quit
in favor of industrial teams.
while the dearth Of material. be-
cause of the absence of young
men with the army. made it a
difficult task to recruit players.

The Loyola College High five,
which Dutch" is handling with
such success, appears to be the win
ner Of the George Washington
tournament. While the result Is
several hours away at this writing,
the youngsters from the Monu-
mental City seem to have the gon-
Talon within their grasp.
OF the twelve teams which made
q showing yesterday Loyola looked
BY all odds to have the smoothest
working machine and the one which
made a distinct impression.
With what appeared to be su-
perior physical condition. a we'll
cnoceived plan Of attack and light
ning-like accurate passing, the Bal
timore boys earned q big following
by their clean play. The tall Wis.,
itors received by a large percentage
fewer penalties than any othef team
performing.
The only other performance COM
parable to that OF Loyola was that
Of Western High School. The lads
from Georgetown did more than
was expected OF them in defeating
Gonzaga and Hyattsville. There
was some doubt about the ability of
Western TO stop the l street lads,
but they did 1t in approved style.
Today in meeting Baltimore City
College, Western has a sizeable
task. Business will have it's work
oht out against Loyola and can
hope for very little solace. as the
Stenogs are sure for a beating.
From present indications 1t looks
very much as though Baltimore City

two-day affair at o'clock today.

Loyola ran up the highest total
IN q schoolboy game on the Coli
scum floor this season and could
have won by q greater score had
mot substitutiOns been made in
both performances. The BaJti-
n1oroans looked like champions all
tho why.
Ono noticeable thing about the
eight battles was the sustained ef-
fort Of all contenders. At no time
did any Of the teams let up in fight
nor concede anything to opponents.
There was very little dumb basket
ball and all Of the teams, after the
first two games. showed surprising
stamina for such a hard day Of work.

tournament which. started last year,
bids fair to become a big affair in
another year.
Incidentally Captain Jack Daily

schedule. 1t would probably pass un-

Danger In the Right.

THE left hand is the natural
defensive hand. Let a man
- make a pass at you, and even
if you never had on a boxing glove
you will find that instinct prompts
you to stick out your left hand.
However, if young fighter has
a strong right hand that knocks an
opponent singing when it lands, he
loves to shoot that right. Secing !:
'em drop is d pleasurable sensation.
More X. 0.'s by" are written
around that desire to watch 'em
fall than anything else in the fistic
book. For when the right hand
misses, as right hands are bound to
do sometimes, the rest Of you is as
exposed as a fresh vaccination.
