When a team like Washington wins
the championship, a team that comes

makes it 25 per cent easier for club
owners IN other cities, because their
players have no basis for demanding
big increases on the ground that they
are exceptional ball players. All the
owners have to do is point out what

Not many of the owners are over

WILSON Is PRIMING
DELANEY FOR GREB
BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK, January 21.-They say
that Johnny Wilson is really handling
Jack Delaney, and is conducting him
toward the middleweight title. Down
underneath the surface one hears talk
that when Johnny was champion he
believed that the one man who could
beat him was Delaney. That shows
what he thinks of the man who Topped
Flowers.
Wilson was lured into the Greb
match because the latter agreed to
let him take 100000, while Harry HIM
self was content with not more than
50 600, plus his chance at the title
Wilson believed he could stop Greb
with his body punches, but he was
wrong and lost his crown.
Now, according to the stories, Will
son will steer Delaney against Greb
for revenge. Greb is not the fighter
he once was, and Delaney, who is a
sharpshooter, Will be likely to beat
him and take the title.
But when Berlenbach and the French
Canadian meet, it will be another
story. Paul should never have been
steered against Delaney at the time
the two met. He had had only seven
or eight bouts. and lacked experience.
Now il is a different story. Berlen-
bach knows a lot. and besides his
wisdom and punching ability ne is at
heart real fighter, which Delaney is
not. But Paul cannot win the middle
weight crown by beating Delaney or
Greb, because he is taking on weight
and cannot now do himself justice at
lower than I67 pounds.
To see Delaney stow away Berlen-
bach and Flowers makes the ordinary
ring follower wonder how he comes
to sandwich in such rank bouts as
the ones he turned in against Pal
! Reed and Jackie Clark The trouble
! is that Delaney has been a front run
ner, good when ahead, but not good
when things are not breaking right.
His knockout of Flowers may change
all this. But 1t remains to be seen.

AS ii was the fans were suspicious

event, there were no further expert
ments of that kind in the National
League.
In Cleveland, however, a young ball
team had played great ball to come
through in the second half and every
body was enthusiastic over the post
season series. There was never much
suspicion that Boston had not tried
and a great deal of hope that Bos-
tons would be snnihilated.
Cleveland had Cy Young in those
days and Cleveland people banked
heavily on Young's skill to defeat
Boston in the first game of the series,
which was played at Cleveland. There
was a good crowd, but nothing like
the wild excitement of the world
series of the present day, although
the crowd was very keen that Cleve-
land should win.
The game was ended at the finish
Of the eleventh inning without a run
for either team. 1t was growing dark,
but games had been played in less
light. The umpire however, went 10
N L. Young, who was then president
of the National League, and asked
him what to do and Young told him
TO stop the game, which probably is
the only time in National League
history that its president ever order
ed a game to be stopped.
The reason for this action was be-
cause of the tremendous excitement
of the last inning and the attitude of
the crowd toward Mike Kelly of the
Boston team and toward the Boston
PLAYERS. There were suggestions of
trouble for the gay old ball player,
who had tried about everything on
the ball field in his time and was at it
again.
Kelly started the mischief by call
ing for another Cleveland player to
catch a foul ball when thinner was
running for one and thinner, hearing
the call, let the ball drop to the
ground on what would have been an
| easy out Fortunately nothing hap
pened on this play to give Boston a

out Of the game and the umpire re-
| fused to do so.
Then came a chance for Cleveland
| TO win. Burkett was tearing down
the base line for the plate with the
run that would have started Boston

| the benefit of a tie against Young,
