For Jim and Frank

Three times Marty got UP
and three times his feet were
swept away from him and down
he went.
Talk about trying - Marty
WAS TRYING!
He was in there trying to get
UP again for Jimmy and for
Frankie Mann and for the
others who have tried to make
a fighter out of him.
Stribling didn't take any
more in IA rounds than Gala
CHER did in four and when
Stribling went down, it wasn't
as definitely as when Marty
went down and when Stribllng
took his feet at the count Of
nine he had twice the strength
to do it with than did Marty
three times-only to throw up
his hands and try to catch an
imaginary straw as each time
the undertow swept his feet
from beneath him.
We don't know whether
Marty will fight any more. We
advised him two years ago
herein to quit before he was
completely on his heels, but
whether or not he fights again,
we shall always remember him
trying to stand erect and the
undertow sucking him down
each time in Cleveland.

Marty Gallagher

Yet, we thought one other
fighter, a preliminary boy on
the card, and a Washington boy
at that. showed a far finer SAM
pie of tenacity than even Strib-
ling-Marty Gallagher, the
faded-blue eyed boy from Foggy
Bottom.
If you recall, Marty was fight
ing a pretty smart kid from
Duluth called Retzlaff. or some
such name, and Marty had had
none the best of it for four full
rounds. He kept coming in, but
he had also kept getting the
worst of it.
Finally, in the fifth round,
Retzlaff caught Marty flush
on the jaw with a blow that
flattened our Marty like vic
tro1a record. Marty didn't know
he was out. His Irish kept
telling him to get up off the
floor, but his legs and elbows
weren't able to lift him. The
spirit was willing but the flesh
was weak.
Finally. when he did rise to
his feet under conditions which
most of us would have laid
there cold, he was swept off
by an unseen current that was
remindful of a swimmer being
tumbled by the undertoW.

NO PROTEST ON
ARMY NETMAN

Intimations that the Navy will
object to eligibility of member
of the Army tennis team to COM
pete in the annual Leech Trophy
match between the Army and
Navy, to be held Saturday at the
Chevy Chase Club, were branded
as false today by Commander L.
F. Reifsnider, the Navy repre-
sentative on the tennis match
committee.
1t has been suggested that the
Navy will object to Dolf Muchlei-
sen. a private in the Army. On
the grounds that he is a former
collegiate star.
MuehIeisen, paired with Rob-
ert Muench, won the national
intercollegiate doubles cham
EiOnship in 1880.
Commander ReifSnider stated
that the Navy has never ques-
toned the eligibility of Muehleisen
to compete in the match. and the
implications contained in recent
newspapers that the Navy might
protest to the playing of Muehlei-
sen is entirely without founda-
ton.
The articles of agreement for
the match require that the per
sons on the teams shall be chosen
from the officers and enlisted men
of the regular Army and Navy on
active duty"

working individual in baseball to-
day when you come right down to
it. Also he is the most cheerful
and energetic.
Regardless of how exciting or
dry a game is, Roy is always sure
to be heard, because that voice Of
his is so outstanding for its
volume and clearness.
Strong at Finish
One would think ivan" would
become quite hoarSe by the time
the game is half over, so loud
does he yell the balls and strikes
when behind the bat.
But he is just as strong at
the finish as at the start. And
to add to all this, his hand mo-
tions are working continuously,
giving out the impression that
he is tOiIing under undue strain.
Most Of the players like Van
Graflan as an umpire. His deci-
sions are all given carefully, and
there are very few times when
they figure he has called one
wrong.
Roy gets into trouble, as all
umpireS do in the course of a
season, but his troubles are few
and far between when his work
as a whole is taken into consider
alton.
Can't Help Himself
The big umpire's greatest aim
in a game is to keep the players
on their toes and hurry up all
innings. He hates to see contests
dragged more than do the fans,
and is continually bringing that
voice of his into play to help put
over his ideas.
Vans voice is part Of his busi.
ness, he says. He doesn't yell
Just because he wants to make
q show Of himself. He shouts
because he can't help it. He
was born with a huge voice and
he uses it. And it's just an
odd coincidence that he's an
umpire.

vocal outbursts make him q

PROVE To Be
DESP|SED
FOE
BY GARRETT WATERS

The Chicago White Sox are
proving to be the despised foe of
the Griffmen this season. An
added example of it was brought
to the fore yesterday when Man
ager Bush's men slowed the Griff-
men away under a 9 to l defeat
while the AS we're losing to the
Detroit Tigers, IL to 3.
1t was the Sox who started the
Griffs on their extended slump
out west recently. In last place,
the Bushmen we're figured easy
meat by Manager Walter Johnson's
men, who had visions of making
clean sweep in a series of five
games.
Hope For Revenge Today
But such was not the case. The
Sox, with Caraway pitching three
hit ball took the first contest in
topnotch fashion and this so up
set the GriffS that before the
series was over the Pale Hose had
taken three out of the five games,
for the edge.
The Griffmen hope to gain
revenge today in the second
clash of the series. Bobby
Burke has been nominated to
hurI for the JOhnSOns while
Tommy Thomas will probably
be the SOx artist.
In yesterdays game the Griffs
had a grand chance to get little
revenge. Especially with the AS
losing terribly to the Detroit
Tigers. I,
But Red Faber, siptball and
all, saw to it that Manager john
sons men would not advance at
the expense of his last-place team
by pitching one of the tightest
games of his late career. granting
only five hits and finally adding
insult to injury by walking to the
showers after the seventh inning
to let Lefty Caraway finish out
his string.
Lose Chance to Gain i
The lanky left-hander finished
all right, but not before he had
walked trio of Griffmen in the
ninth. He got out of the hole
without being scored on, however,
as Pinch Hitter Hayes, up for
Brown. flied to Watwood to end
the game.
The Griffmen. by losing. lost
something more than Just
chance to gain little revenge
on the SOx. They lost an Op!
pOrtunity to gain on the AS;
who, as said before, dropped a
12-tO,7 decision to the Detroit
Tigers.
Lefty Carl Fischer attempted to
annex his tenth straight victory
when he started on the mound
for Manager johnson. He was
far from right, and as a result
had to be relieved by Lloyd
Brown in the fifth. Brownie

To TRAIN
ON COAST

California cities today were
making a determined bid to take
away the spring training camp
business of the major league base
ball clubs from Florida and other
Southern States.
At least four clubs and prob
ably seven will journey across
the continent next spring to put
their ball players through the
PAGES under California's sunny
skies.
Chicago, Pittsburg and New
York of the National League, and
Detroit of the American League
have arranged to train in Cali
fornia.
Cleveland, in the American
League, and St. Louis and
Brooklyn in the tiOnal
League. have had scouts pos
pecting for suitable locations
for their 1892 camps some
where in California.
Cleveland, it is understood,
will establish its spring headquar-
ters near Sacramento, while De
troit will probably go so miles
away from Stockton.
San Diego, close to the Cali
fornia- a-Mexican border, is trying
to land the Brooklyn Dodgers,
while half dozen cities are
after the st. Louis Cardinals.
The New York Giants will train
near Los Angeles, moving out
from Texas, where they have en-
camped annually for years,

otherwise shelving themseIV'
And such a discussion brings
us to something we have wanted
to mention ever since We return
ed from the Schmeling- -Stribling
fight in Cleveland nearly two
weeks ago.
It is this:
In Stribling's defeat by
Schmeling the fans were treated
to as splendid an example Of
stout-heartedness and courage
as they might see in many a
trip to the ringside. Stribling
behaved like a soldier taking the
worst of it, and many will never
forget his display of fortitude.

"Eagle-Eye" Nate, who can en-.
vision a bigger gate over a glass
of ice water than Promoter Hum
bert Fugazy can see while con-
templating a stein Of beer, has
made several hurried trips to
New York in the past year in
the hope of landing Schmeling
and Stribling and other big
matches. Generally Nate has re-
turned to the Windy City with
nothing more than a headache
and a receipt for a sizeable hotel
bill, but this time he appears to
have landed one of the plumS
of the outdoor boxing season.
Garden Officials Irked
Madison Square Garden, which
yesterday sought approval for the
McLarnin-Petrolle match at one
of the New York ball parks early
in August. paid the first install
ment of its penalty for staging
the Schmeling- -Stribling match at
Cleveland on July 3 after the
New York Boxing Commission
had stripped Make of his title
in the Empire State. The COM
mission deferred action on the
Gardens request until July "a.
James A. Farley, dynamic
chairman of the board, will be
back from the West at that
time. But if the Garden hopes
to get speedy approval Of the
match from big Jim," it should
sign partnership papers with
Jack Diamonds prosecutors.
Farley Is still exceedingly irked
at the Garden for its part in the
notwithstanding affair.
ArrangemeI Is Near
Jack Hurley, Petrolle's mana
ger, said late yesterday he was
convinced that Petrolle and Nc
Larnin would not be allowed to
fight here, and declared he was
ready to sign with Lewis. The lat
ter was to see Pop Foster, Nc
Larnin's manager, today and
hoped to close the match.
I'VE would like to stage the
match at one of the Chicago
ball parks some time next
MONTH" said Lewis. Even with
prices scaled from one to five
dollars, the bout should draw
over 100000. Chicago is fight
hungry and fans would flock
from Minneapolis, Detroit, st.

Western cities to see McLarnin

favorites in that section. They
