Jersey City Baseball Club, of the
International League, will move
it's franchise to Syracuse, N. Y,
this spring, the Bayonne Times
stated today.
John T. Corbett, president Of
the Jersey City club, decided to

efforts to obtain adequate finan-
cial aid for the team failed.

given as the reason for the move,
according to the Times. Formal
decision, it was said, will be an
nounced when the board of d.
rectors of the Jersey City club

WHITE AGAINST
COACHES
At VIRGINIA

Believing that Fred Dawson,
head coach and James G. Driver,
director of athletics, are not to
blame for Virginia's poor showing
in football this year, William H.
White, jr., Washington attorney
and chairman of the University
of Virginia's board Of athletic con-
troll, was in Charlottesville, Va,
today to preside at a meeting of
the board.
The board is expected to pre-
sent a petition for the removal
of Dawson and Driver because Of
a feeling that there should be a
new dear' in athletics, particu-
larly football before another
school term commences.
The disgruntled alumni include
Charlie Fenwick, William c..
Cloth, P. n. Falconer. Charles H.
Smith, c. w. Strickling and c. R.
Williams. Their hope is to put
Gus Tebel, assistant grid coach
and head coach Of basketball and
baseball, into the ring as their
candidate for the new deal"
football situation.
White voiced the opinion be-
fore his departure for Charlottes"
vile that poor coaching was not
entirely responsible for Virginia's
poor season. He saw the team
play against Columbia and Navy
and was satisfied with its per-
formances, which he characterized
as we'll drilled.
The financial situation, he
pointed out, was not as bad as
it's been painted, and believed
that because football in general
was on the wane, was reason
enough that Virginia has felt the
blow with other schools.

The first may see Primo Car
nera lose his heavyweight title;
the second may see Promoter
James ]. Johnston lose his job
I suspect that Promoter John
ston may be through with the
Madison Square Garden Corpora
ton because even Johnston be
lieveS it now. AS for Camera
I'm convinced that he is teed up
for a fungo hitting contest after
saw what happened out there
in the training ring yesterday
afternoon.
Camera, slow, stodgy and as
underdone as a raw onion, is SO
far away in timing and speed
that he cannot possibly come all
the way back in the short time
intervening before Wednesday
and the Tommy Loughran fight.
They gave him humpty
dumpty by the name of Pepper
Stopper yesterday for one very
obvious reason.
1U De FOQpcu
Pepper was to be popped or
stopped or both before the hor-
rified gaze of all but, at the end
of three minutes the Pepper was
still in there stopping them; so
they decided to time it by pair
Of binoculars. The first round,
therefore, went seven minutes be-
fore they noticed the oversight,
with the result that they were
more careful about the second.
It only went four and a half
minutes.
This comparatively abrupt end
ing was brought about, not so
much by the fact that Mr.. Pepper
Stopper finally found himself
supine, inert and Horizontal, as
that he promptly arose and smote
Camera so hard that it even was
felt by his dearest of kin. This was
enough for Mr.. Bill Duffy who
was holding the watch and almost
lost his composure when the blow
fell.
Flung IT, Floor
Just how Pepper got on the
floor is another story. He wasn't
knocked down, neither was he
pushed. Rather, he was flung,
flang, Hinged or in other words
thrown down after which Mr..
Duffy, the humanitarian, rang the
bell to save Pepper. AS Walter
(good time Charley Friedman
the under-secretary, says, the
fighter who can take Cameras
terrific punches simply has to be
"inhuman to punishment"
However, all I know is what I
see in the almanac and this clearly
says that a man who can't beat
bad light heavyweight in the
training ring isn't any better than
even money against a pretty good
heavyweight when the checks are

Writers with the Terrymen ex-
pressed their concern as follows

entire team is out of tune. 1t has

tired old men. Gone is the fight

don't look right. Here in the west
There is not the 1888 spirit and
hustle in the club. Garry Schu-
macher, Journal-They've begged
down in every department.
They're listless and Indifferent.
After playing the Cards today and
tomorrow, the Giants step into a
three-game series with the formid-
able Cubs. Their outlook, for the
present, is somewhat dreary.
Cubs Trounce Dodgers
Yesterday, the Cards dragged
them into third-place tie by win
ming, 5 to 4. 1t was the Cards
fourth straight victory and their
eleventh win in twelve starts. St
Louis won in the seventh when the
marginal tally came in after singles
by Rothrock and Frisch and Med
wick's long fly. Hal Schumacher
allowed the Cards eleven hits.
The Cubs strengthened their lead
by trouncing the Dodgers, IL to 8
in a game featured by six home
runs. Chuck Klein recaptured the
majors home run leadership with
his eighth. His mates, Hartnett
and Bill Herman, also hit for the
circuit. Frey, Leslie and Cucci-
nello made Brooklyn homers.
Cincinnati doWned the Braves,
to 2, with lombard leading the
Reds nine-hit attack with triple
and single. Philadelphia at Pitts
burgh was rained out.
AS Tied for Second
In the American League, the Ath-
letics rose into a tie with idle Wash
ington for second place by beating
Detroit, 5 to 3, for their fourth
straight triumph. Home runs by Bob
Johnson and Pinkey Higgins fea-
tured the AS attack, while Mahaf-
fey and Benton held the Tigers to
four hits.
New York strengthened it's lead
by smashing the White Sox, Is to 3,
for Jimmy Dykes first managerial
defeat. Lou Gehrig drove in seven
Yankee runs with two homers and
two doubles in four trips.
Cleveland rose to fourth place by
shading the Red Sox, II to 10. This
dropped Boston from a third-place
tie with the Athletics to fifth posi-
ton. The Indians won in the eighth
when Joe VoSmik made a homer
with two aboard. Averill had done
likewise in the fifth. Boston got
o: to a siX-run lead in the first
but four errors contributed to theil
downfall

deadly mace.
Klein easily is the most valuable
player on the Cubs team for the
twenty-five games they have
played, and the figures prove he's
the most valuable man in the
league up to now.
Although batting only .348-it's
Klein's idea that .348 is a small
batting verage-Klein leads the
league in hits and home runs, is
tied for the lead in runs batted in,
and is second in runs scored. No
other player can boast Of that
kind Of a batting record thus far.
He has been to bat 81 times,
made 80 hits, scored II runs and
driven in % runs. Ducky Med
wick, Cardinals, is tied with him
in runs batted in, and Arky
Vaughan, Pirates, has scored four
more runs than he has. Klein
has hammered out eight home
runs.
IN addition to leading the Cubs
Il ofense. Klein is covering left
field for them as it has never been
covered in years. He is making
circus catches, and holding
doubles to singles with his fast
play
Klein had sly on his eye
shortly after the season opened,
but refused to allow Manager
Charlie Grimm to take him out
of the lineup. The sly may have
had something to do with his
batting slump of last week when
he went through eight games and
thirty-four times at bat with only
four hits, but he didn't complain.
Klein is that kind of a ball play
er and he doesn't hurt the morale
of a team any.
When Babe Herman was in a
bad slump and waving his bat at
the air. Klein, hitting ahead of
him, would say:
