Whole Week Passes.

UTELL, friends, a whole
w week has passed without
~ various baseball clubs try
ing to rule Rube Benton of the
Cincinnati club, and ] am wonder
ing what is the matter, for
squaks and protests are to base
ball what the freezer is to ice
cream.
That must have been a lively
scene in Chicago the other day
when umpires were being given
glass souvenirs when they were
giving decisions in the Cubs
Giants games. Somebody tells
me that the Cubs park diamond
wasn't diamond at all after the
pop bottle shower, but that it
turned out to be cut glass instead.
The widest possible afternoon
I have seen in some days was
while we were playing Colonel
Cobb's Tigers in Washington,
September Is. Just to show how
tricky we can be, we were trailing
along with the score 8 to 2
against us.

GR|FFS Doomed
To LOWLY
PLACE

Washington's defeat by Chicago,
to 0, and the st. Louis clubs
double victory over Boston, 6 to /
and to 2, leaves the Griffs today
two and one-hah games behind the
Brownies, with only slim hore of
finishing in the first division.
Today the C1riffs tackle. the
White Sox again. Lefty Warmoth
or Zeb Zachary probably will pitch.
Muddy Ruel spoiled what might
have been a. fine victory for Paul
Zahnizer. Muddy threw wild to
catch Eddie Collins straying off
first, and the aged second-sacker
galloped to third. He scored on
Sheely's single to center.
At that, a bit of expert fielding
by Joseph Judge would have dug
Ruel's throw out of the dust and
possibly saved the day.
Zahnizer pitched steady, first
class ball throughout the game.
He issued two passes, one to Eddie
Collins which became a run, in the
sixth.
Charley Robertson. the pale-hose
star, wriggled neatly out Of sew
eral bad holes.

Jackie Clarke, Well Known for
Defeats, Will Substitute
at SportIand.

Mike McTigue, worlds light
heavyweight champion, will not APP
pear at Sportland this Thursday
night, his place against Jack Duff
fY, of Chicago, being taken by
Jackie Clarke, of Allentown, Pa.
Matchmaker Heine Miller an
nounced today, however, that Nc
Tigue would positively abpea-
October IL against the winner u the
Duffy Clarke bout.
McTigue is to defend his title
against Young Stribling, OF Macon,
Ga, at Columbus, Ga. next month.
A clause in that contract prevents
his appearing in any decision con-
tests before that bout is staged.
Matchmaker Miller says that,
rather than permit a no-decision
bout at Sportland, he would post
pone McTigue's debut.
Jackie Clarke is well known, hav.
ing battled and lost to practically
all the leading middleweights and
light heavyweights in the country

DO Lar as we KNOW, we are
breaking no faith when we say
that John D. O'Reilly, track coach
par excellence of Georgetown uni-
versity, has more than once COM
planned to US bitterly regarding
the handicaps given his young Hill
top athletes for meets held in
Baltimore.
While not SO certain of similar
complaints from George Washing
ton or Catholic university, it is
probable that similar feelings were
expressed to somebody somewhere.
For several years it has seemed
to us shame that the A. A. u.
should do so little to foster atll-
letics in this section. In the years
when John T. Meany was promin-
ent A. A. u. officer we used to
bawl him out, not for anything
personal, but because we believed
he wasn't fighting hard enough for
athletics in this section.
Much water has gone under the
bridge since those days. Maybe
Meany did his best and could effect
nothing. If so, we're sorry he
couldn't, though not sorry for any
thing we ever wrote.
Maybe, had he kicked up more,
the whole thing would have reach
ed the ears of the national A. A. u.
officers in New York, those lordly
gentlemen who decree who is a
bonafide amateur and who is not.
Washington's complaint in anna
teur athletics has always been
that, with Baltimore men in charge
of everything, especially the handi-
Gaping, no Washington athlete
ever had but an outside chance to
win anything. Now and then thy
copied, but they had to surmouEt
difficulties to do so.
If those clubs now seeking to
conduct their own athletics, be it
running, swimming or tiddledy-
winks, will only keep on fighting,
crowd this attempt through to a
successful finish, eventually ath-
letics in his section will be healthy,
something it is not now.
If there is no friendly feeling in
the national A. A. U. for the Dis
trict, there will be no change in
conditions. But if the A. A. u.
leaders know that this insurrec-
ton, if it is to be called that, is
backed by Georgetown, George
Washington and Catholic universi-
ties, with all their athletes, it might
be considerably different.

Boxing Instructor Al
Iowa Only Twenty
Years Old

IOWA CITY, Iowa, Sept. 25.
Roscoe Hall, twenty-year-old
lightweight champion of Iowa,

University of Iowa next year.
In the professional ring since he
was sixteen years old. he has
participated in over 100 battles,
winning twenty-one- of them
with knockouts. He recently re-
fused an invitation TO enter the
stable of an Eastern fight pro-
moter that he might continue
his studies, expecting to
eventually enter the college of

VIZ HO of your friends will
" attend the 1923 clash De-
tween the winners of the
big league pennants?
Washington was once a hot bed
for demands for tickets. It has
cooled off considerably in recent
years. Oh yes, there is still in
terest enough to make it worth
while for The Washington Times
to tell You all about it, but when
it comes down to paying high rail-
road fares, boosted hotel rates and
absolutely ridiculous prices for
mere ball games, Washingtonians
are showing common sense in get
ting the dope from the sports
pages.
If the Washington club were a
contender for the so-called chamI-
ionship, every fan would go mad.
That's what makes him a fan.
If New York city did not have a
monopoly on this annual event III
baseball, there might be greater
interest here in the series than
there is.
1t is becoming increasingly more
difficult to explain the why of this
annual melon-cutting between the
New York clubs.
Seeking means Of equalizing the
strength of the big league teams,
with a vacation from world series
for five years or more, would be
a wonderful thing for professional
baseball, but because it would be
wonderful, it won't happen, not
while the present gentlemen con-
troll professional baseball.

I'D, the worlds greatest tennis
player, and Maxwell R. Marston,
who defeated Jess Sweetser for tie

1t so happens that all three titles
are in amateur sport. In the pro-
fessional game Philadelphia is not
so happy. It's boxers are just $3.50,
it's baseball teams worse than that.
But the Quakers sure have
plenty to cheer about in owning
these three amateur champion
