Players representing both the
Griffmen and Browns are willing
to testify that Moriarty was the
real instigator Of the run-in which
resulted in Harris Punishment
from the first base coacher's box
and subsequent exile to the locker
room.
Moriarty, who has long made it
his custom to challenge bali play
ers to fist fights and to otherwise
show intolerance on the diamond,
may finally have his hand called.
While no official announce
ment has been made, 1t would
not surprise If President E. S.
Barnard were called upon to
give q decision on this case
and in the near future.
Harris was in the coacher's box
Monday when Sam West charged
into first base. When Moriarty
ruled the runner out, and he was
out, Harris with no malicious in
tent said Pretty close
Mr.. Jumps Moriarty, on his
dignity, as always, retaliated
shortly afterward by calling Har-
ris, in polite parlance, gross
exaggerator.
Quite naturally Dave objected
to the charge and after an ex-
change of words he was chased.
Harris continued the. argument
from the bench, whereupon. Mori-
arty sent him to the showers.
After, MOriarty who is en-
ployed to uphold the dignity
of the game, challenged Har-
ris to battle but the North
CarOlinian, as game as they
come, wisely refused.
Granting that Harris may have
hurled some choice epithetS at
Moriarty after being insulted in
the coacher's box, it can never
theleSS be seen that the veteran
arbiter was looking for trouble.
Moriarty's lack of patience and
uncalled for sarcasm while on
the job has made him most ul,
popular among ball players. These
qualities, as much as anything
else, cost him managerial jobs
with both Memphis, of the
Southern Association, and Detroit,
Of the American League.
Compared to such able umpireS
as Bill Guthrie, Roy Van Graf
Ian, Bill MCGOWAN, Harry Geisel
and others we might mention,
Moriarty is. frankly speaking,
undesirable.
President Barnard, impartial
and fair in all matters, may be
expected to grant the Washing
ton club q fair hearing on this
matter, and the Washington club
certainly owes it to Harris to
follow through with its protest.
Moriarty, a powerful man he
yond the question Of doubt, has
repeatedly sought to settle his
personal differences with hall
players off the playing field.
Frankly, baseball does not need
this type of arbiter. Umpires.

FLUSHING, N. Y, Sept. IL.
One championship crown-eight
would-be golf kings.
That was the situation at the
fresh Meadow County Club today
as the third match round of the
Professional Golfers Association
title meeting got under way.
When the heart-broken Leo
Diegel was deposed yesterday by
the phlegmatic Harold Sampson,
from out the West, the 1880
scramble became anyone's tourna-
ment.
The blond BritOn from
Pine Alley, Charles Lacey,
has visions of himself all
dOlled up in the p. G. A.
hOnOrS. 1t is his first prOfes-
SiOnal championship, and
there are those who consider
that he has more than a
chance to succeed Diegel,
Hagen, ct al.
Today Lacey is taking on the
giant-killer of yesterday, the
Samson" who proved too strong
for the titleholder. Diegel played
badly on that last nine holes
against the California golfer, but
that doesn't detract in the least
from the nerve and courage dis
played by Sampson, whose fame
has been more local than ma
tional.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE
whole world will know just what
kind Of a fighter al Singer Is by
this midnight.
The dashing little lightweight
champion faces his toughest as
signment tonight at the Yankee
stadium when ne meets Jimmy
McLarnin.
This is Jimmy's lucky village II
you believe in past performances
for it was here that he bowled
over Sid Terris, Phil McGraws
Joe Click, Sergt. Sammy Baker
and Ruby Goldstein in q grand
total Of seven rounds.
Terris lasted less than one, and
so did McGraw and Baker. Click
went out in the second and 50
did the sergeant.
The fight tonight might end
in. a single punch. Either. man IL
capable of landing it early. I
think McLarnins chances Of do
ing that are the more favorable.
If Singer goes to foolish early
mixing, McLarnin will knock him
out inside of three rounds. He's
T. N. r. @
For one thing, this winning
Of a lightweight title has
made Singer about as conf
dent as any young man could
be.
He is a changed character. So
certain of himself right now
that YOU might think him boast
ing but it is only that wearing
a crown has given him, full con-
fidence where he might have
been hesitant about predicting
victory before becoming cham
pion.
Getting right down to the facts
and figures Of the case, Singer
has a better knockout record
than McLarnin but he does not
list among his victims men as
capable as those Jimmy knocked
out.
In 66 fights Jimmy has 10
counted for 13 knockouts. In 81
battles Singer has flattened 81
opponents.
You'd naturally say that
Singer had it on Jimmy but
MandelI is the one star that
fell before Singer. The others,
at least many Of them, are
not Of the Click, Terris,
LOayZa, Kaplan, SangOR,
Fields, McGraW or Baker
order.
However. figures, at least these
kind, sometimes do amazing
handsprings. Here is a Nne in
favor Of the Singer argument. He
won on a foul from Buddy Taylor.
So did McLarni11. but on three
other occasions Jimmy lost de-
cisions to Taylor while Singer
came along after winning on the
foul and outpointed Taylor. ~
Then, here is an argument In
favor of Jimmy. He knocked out
Loayza in four rounds, two years
ago when the Chilean was at his
best. AL had to be content with
a decision over Loayza..

Other Washington players have
complained of similar treatment,
and any or all of them are willing
to go to the front if the Harris
matter is pressed, as is expected.
Better umpireS than Moriarty
have discovered all too late that
fair treatment and common court
esy are needed on any job, and it
wouldn't hurt George to get wise
to himself.
Trailing in their series with the
Browns to date, the Griffs are to
conclude their stand here today.
In order to break even with the
Killifers for the 1880 season it will
be necessary for Walter Johnson's S
men to register.
Lefty Lloyd Brown has been Sc
lected to shoot for Washington
today. He must buck up against
an old-time Washington jinx, Wal

The Griffmen, trailing Connie
Mack's Philadelphia Athletics by
six and a half games are frankly
out Of the championship running.
Their idea now is to strengthen
their second place hold over New
York.
Dandy Dick Coffman, stringy

Blaeholder's assistance to turn
back Washington yesterday, 3 to

George with the bases full and
two out in the ninth. Blaeholder

but lost out, although his
mates harvested twice as

The home team slammed across
two runs in the second and was
never headed, despite periodical
Washington thrusts.
Jack Hayes single, Pinch Hitter
Shires' two-bagger and Sammy
Rice'S base on balls loaded the
pathways with one out in the
ninth. Sammy West fouled out,
but Manush walked, forcing
Hayes across. Blaeholder was
then substituted for Coffman and
made good, by picking up Cronin's
roller and throwing him out.

The Vegas was captured last week

for unloading cargo in Lake Erie,
but the remainder of the liquid
cargo was not moleSted.
Monday the vessel departed.
Today it was reported the big

Whether it discharged it's cargo to
small boats from the American
shore could not be determined.

ing the daytime and said no small
craft approached. What happened
after nightfall they do not know.
Some believe the cargo was land
ed during the night time. Others
believe the 200-foot stea mer still is
cruising about in Lake Erie, await

Newly Built Memorial to
1897 Party Is Left in
Far North.

OSLO, Norway, Aug. ga newly
built memorial to three victims OF
the Arctics most adventurous aeriel
expedition stood on the ice-burdened
surface of White island (Kvitoeya)
near Franz Josef Land today as ex-
plorers pieced together a thirty
three year-old story of disaster and
suffering in the far north.
The memorial was erected by the
men of the Horn Arctic expedition
who found the frozen bodies OF
Solomon August Andree, Swedish
balloonist and explorer, and one OF
his two companions on an unSuc-
cessful attempt to fly over the north
pole in a balloon in 1897.
The body Of the third flier, either
K. Fraenkel or N. Stringberg, was
believed frozen in small boat held
deep in the ice where the exhausted
men made their last camp.
Book May Reveal Story
Details of the story of the wreck
ing of Andree's balloon and the
desperate, futile struggle back over
the ice floes from the polar region
still is hidden between the ice
concealed pages of the explorer
log-book and diary.
DR.. Horn will not attempt to ex-
anime the books fully until his ex-
petition steamship, BrattVaag
reaches Norway about Sept. 10 with
the bodies of Andree and one OF his
companions.
Only one leaf of the long
unopened diary was seen by the
members of the Horn expedition be-
fore they dispatched news OF their
discovery by way of a small Nor
wegian fishing vessel that reached
the coast Friday.
That page-the last leaf In the
book-and the remains of the camp
gave an incomplete story of the
tragedy.
Sails Placed on Balloon
After Andree and his companions
flew northward on July II, 1897, in
their balloon, on which sails had
been placed in the erroneous be-
lief that the craft could be guided,
they progressed satisfactorily for at
least two days flight north from
west Spitzbergen.
A carrier pigeon brought back one
message and others were found on
buoys long afterWard.
Later disaster overlook their big
balloon with its sails and huge, dou-
ble-decker basket.
Nature of the wreck may be re-
vealed only by the diary. in which
