DOTSM|LLER
Manager of San Francisco
Club Dies at Saranac
Lake.

KEARNEY. N. j.. Sept. 6.-John
Dots Miller, former major league
star and manager Of the San Fran.
cisco Club of the Pacific Coast
League, is dead at Saranac Lake, it
was learned today by relatives re-
aiding here.
Tuberculosis was assigned as the
cause Of his death.
Miller's death 10 believed to have
been FASTENED by a condition for
which his service overseas during
the war was responsible. Weakened
by his experiences in France, he
fell victim to tonsilitis several
weeks ago and an examination re-
vealed evidence Of tubercular infec-
ton. He went to Saranac Lake for
treatment.
With him at the end were his
wife, mother and brother, Joseph
Miller. The body will be brought
here for burial.
Miller first came into prominence
by playing second base for Pitts
burgh against Detroit in the world
series Of 1909. Some years later he
was traded to st. Louis and was
with that club when he enlisted in
the Marine Corps.
Upon his return from war he was
traded to Philadelphia and played
with that club until offered the lead
ership of the San Francisco Seals.

he waded into FRANKIE Koebele and
the way Natalie Pera kept out of
Firpo's reach, showed that the chal-
lenger was in a mood for fighting

Iron hands will take hold OF
Washington's leading sandlot foot
ball teams this fall. The big clubs
either have signed or are angling
for coaches whose regulations en-
title them to the highest respect.
Josh Licarione, the invincible,
will coach the Mohawks. He has
had more success with the Indians
than any other.
Fee s,,uthei ms will have Charlie
Guyon, athletic director Of East

keenly interested in sandlot foot
ball in the last two years. Murray
Snow, the rangy fullback around
whom the Southern team is built,
will handle the squad for q time.
Mercury, champion, is without

coached and led the Akron pros
a year ago, IL said to be q pos
sibiIity. Since returning to Wash
ington, the former Maryland
backf1eld star has become inter

gave the Mohawk club its first
football defeat in a decade.
Murray Snow makes his annuaI
announcement that he is through as
a performer. Under pressure of
Southern pleas, he will re-enter the
fray. Southern worries not at all
The club knows how Murray reacts
to football fever, especially when
the Mohawk game draws mar.
This year Murray probably will
be called on to face Mercury also.
Mercury and Southern have never
encountered on the gridiron. A
delicate feeling has prevented It.
B h teams are from the southwest
section. Neither has cared to mix,
although there is no friction.
In fact, the Mercury club has
shown a decided inclination to aid

And the inevitable has occurred.
Southern and Mercury are booked

There is no ill-feeling between

and end Of the Southern team, 'but

HOW F|RPO
CAN WIN
Only With Bambino's Big Bat
Could Luis Land Knockout,
Asserts Manager.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
N. Y, Sept. 6.-Jack Kearns, man
ager of Jack Dempsey, today said
that the only person who could
win the fight for Luis Angel Firpo
next week was Babe Ruth.
How" he was asked.
Ruth has a big baseball bat"
Kearns replied. "If he lends 1t to
Luis and let's the latter use it, why
maybe Luis can knock out Jack,
but it cannot be done any other
way"
Kearns said he wondered where
all the talk came about what would
happen to Dempsey IL Firpo landed
one or two blows.
with one or two smacks?" Kearns
queried. And who did he ever
fight that wasn't a soft one, and
who did he ever meet who handed
him any real punching?"
Kearns said that Dempsey would
be whipped some day IL he fought
long enough, but declared that it
would not be F'irpo who would do
the trick.
when Dempsey loses it will be
on a decision-not through a knock
out" said Kearns. And that goes
whether he loses during the next
year or two or whether he keeps
right on fighting until he has sill
yer whiskers."
Kearns gave warning as to what
would happen If Firpo makes
Dempsey angry.
II hope for Firpo's sake that he
doesn't hurt Jack and make him
mad" Kearns added. IF he does,
the fight game will see six tigers,
two lions and a couple of panthers
all rolled up in one. loose and
swishing around a prize ring. If
Jacks temper is aroused on the
night of September IA would hate
to be Firpo."
