WILDE To SAIL
FOR AMERICA
ON MAY z
English BattIer Takes Violent
Exception to Statement
of Jack Sharkey.

LONDON, April 26.-Jimmy Wilde
will sail from England May IL for
the United States and will go
through with his battle on June 16
with Pancho Villa, the Filipino fly
weight.
This information was embraced
in an article which Wilde wrote for
one of the newspapers here and in
which he took violent exception to
statements made by Jack Sharkey,
the American featherweight.
Sharkey, who was here on a visit
several months ago, reported back
TO the United States that Wilde
weighed lao pounds and never could
get into condition to defend his fly
weight championship.
When this statement was convey
ed to Wilde, he became incensed
and promptly termed Sharkey a
per varicator.'

GOLF OFFICIALS
To RESTORE
VON ELM
Westerner Will Be Given ANA
teur Status Again Four
Months Hence.

Four months hence George Won
Elm.s of Salt Lake City, is to be re-
stored to his amateur status as a
golfer by the United States Associ-
alton. He was suspended about the
middle of August. following a COM
bination Of charges. The one most
commonly named was his connec-
ton with sporting goods house.
Another item was using unseemly
language to club tournament Of
ficialS.
It was reported some Of the ma
tional executives wished to go fur
Their than to deprive him of his
amateur status and it was predicted
his period of exile would last two
or three years. Pressure began to
be exerted in Won Elm's behalf at
the annual meeting at Pittsburgh
in January and has been kept up
continuously. The biggest argu-
ment in his behalf proved to be his
youth.
Despite the silence of the COM
mitteemen it is known to- be a fact
that but for his being under voting
age, the pleas in his behalf would
have been deemed insufficient.
With the bars down September l.,
Von Elm can start in the National
Amateur near Chicago, beginning
ten days later, but he will not be
eligible for the national open at the
Inwood Club, Far Rockaway, since
1t falls in July.
Having previously won the high
est honors in the Utah, Pacific
Slope and Trans Mississippi districts,
Won Elm should prove formidable
contender at the Flossmoor Club.

Ed Walsh's Fielding

Few pitchers In major league

227 chances during the season.

MACK IS UNABLE
To DIRECT Ell
TRACKMEN
Coach Returns to New Haven
Far From Well After Ber-
muda Trip.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. April 26.--
John Mack. Yale's track athletic
coach, has returned to New Haven
after a winter spent in Bermuda
far from well. He has not ass umed
control of the track situation at
Yale, as it was expected he might
and it is still uncertain whether he
will be able to do so. Within a
week il is likely that a decision
will be made whether he will direct
the training, although he Is not
able to remain regularly at the
track, or whether one of the as
sistant coaches will be appointed to
take charge of the situation. The
assistants are Billy Queal, coach
of the distance runners; Ned Mer-
am coach Of the sprinters, and
Boyd Comstock, coach of the weight
men.
Queal has been Mack's assistant
for dozen years and has developed
the distance runners and cross
6o--ntry men successfully. He has
offers from Tufts and Brown
universities at present.
Merriam was brought here last
fall by Capt. Tommy Campbell
He has been runner and coacn, a.
Chicago and Iowa State College.
Comstock came here two molleI4
ago from southern California.
The Yale athletic board of con
troll are pleased with the record
of all three of the assistant coaches
81 d it is difficult to state which
OF the trio will be selected, if one
is necessary to take charge of Ih.-
team in its dual meet with Notre
Dame, Princeton. Harvard and in
its trip, with Harvard, to England
where - will meet Oxford and
Cambridge.
1t IS generally expected that Mack
w II take a further rest in the hone
that he will return to this city nexf
fall TO direct the conditioning of the
football squad.

FirpO's credibility can be pre-

Sending him against Willard in

the most approved method ioi
accomplishing this purpose. Bren

are more in line with Mr.. Richards

Reports, however, are current
that a Encouragement of the two
big bouts of the show Is in order
but we are disposed to doubt this
The shift, it is said, would bring
Firpo forward from the semi-final
to meet Willard and drop Johnson
back to the match with Jack Nc
AuIiffe End. Another rumor had II
that Fulton would get the Willard
bout, in spite OF the fact he lost
to Johnson.

of the idea than a reality. He

The point, therefore, has beer
made that he tan hardly hope tt

No player is immune, not even
the men who played side by side
with Cobb in his old fire-eatinS
days under Hughey Jennings.
AS evidence of this, one OF the
first to suffer temporary demotion
was Bobby Veach, left fielder and
one of the leading hitters of the
outfit for the last ten years.
Veach still can hit-he always
WiII--but it is alleged that he had
some misunderstanding with Cobb
and, as a result, was displaced by
Bob FOthergilI, a young hustler
who led the International League
in hitting last year.
Fothergill is due in the Tiger
outfield sooner or later. 1t may be
sooner.
Johnny Bassler, the young catch
er who hits them high, far and
often, is another who appears to
have lost favor with Cobb.
He has been giving way to Wood
all with disturbing frequency and
seems to have fight on his hands
to retain his status of first string
catcher.
1t may be that Bassler is being
made a horrible example, just by
way of discipline.
The most surprising move, how
ever, is the use of the elderly
George CutshaW at second base
from time to time.
George was supposed to be all
over and done with, this belief hav-
ing been strengthened by the fact
that Cobb went to some pains to
get Del Pratt as his second base
man in a naidwinter deal. How
ever, Cutshaw and not Pratt start
ed the season at second base.
Everyone predicted that Cobb
would prove an unpopular leader
when he took hold of the Tigers
last season.
Perhaps these activities herald .
delayed vindication of that belief.
