Lake Shore Post

The two months that have
passed by without meetings,
seemed to inspire enthusiasm
among the members, at the last
session held on Thursday, Sept.
IA, 1914. Some very interesting
proposals were discussed, and
With better attendance, some
of those constructive ideas,
would be more apt to become
realities. Other committee re-
ports were also favorable, and
especially the one from the en-
tertainment committee, which
reported progress from the out
ing that was held last July on
John L. Mihelich's farm. At the
outset this outing was planned
to get away for a few hours
from the worldly cares, and
those who have attended will
recall that the evening wiener
roast and its trimmings were
served ION the house" The ex-
pense was averted by the gener-
our donations on the use of the
farm and our sincere thanks
are extended to Mr.. and Mrs.
Mihelich. The following Thurs
day, Sept. ri, 1914 the enter
talnment committee met at our
Commanders residence.
Since November 18th is ap-
preaching, which will be the
26th anniversary of Armistice,
the committee chose that day to
observe memories with a card
party and social, at the Sloveni-
an National Home. And in the
meantime our prayers and
thoughts are about that one big
day, when the present conflict
will cease, thereby ending the
struggles and hardships of our
young men and women of the
armed forces, and many others
who by this war are being tor
mented.
| Last but not least-and this
is very important, election of
officers will take place at our
next meeting on Thursday, Oc-
toDer II, 1914, at the St. Clair
Recreation Center. Let's all at
tend and make it banner cleo
ton. Selection of officers is al
ways interesting and it will be
up to you to keep it that way.
ALI Of you are urgently needed
or in other words, all of you are
important.

 New York. Sept. l4.-(UP)-De- spite the torrid four-city fight for the American league pennant, it is little less than amazing that SO many baseball writers and fans should be roofing for Detroit vic- tory because of Steve O'Neill's per. sonality.
 Tn this tight pennant struggle among New York, Detroit, St, Louis and Boston, one would expect to find plenty of criticism of the man. ager of the most dangerous club burly Steve o'Neill, pilot of the De- troit Tigers
 But there Is no criticism of O'Neill, who reminds uS of the late Louis Wolheim, portrayer Of the toughest of all characters in the movies about l5 years ago,
 Regardless of the betting, there Is the hope in the heart Of many baseball writer that the Tigers will win the flag and bring to o'Neill his first American league championship. Not that the other managers are unpopular-Joe Mo. Carthy of the Yanks Is one of the grandest guys ever to pilot a club, but he has won plenty of buntings And Luke Sewell of the Browns is given recognition for taking a sec. ond- division club far beyond the spot for which 1t was destined. Joe CYonin of the Boston Red sox, who won pennant In his younger days with Washington, is Sympathized with because of his too-many con- trIbutions of key players to the serv- Ices -- like Pitcher Tex HughSon and inflelder Bobby Doorr.
 O'Neill is the peoples "cherce' because he Is the same guy now who was an active performer in the minor and major leagues for 32 years. Regardless of what happened to him-aS first string catcher for Cleveland from 1911 to io24-he still has the savvy and personality Of Q pennant- winning manager.
 The writers in every American league city like him because fnc is thorough in good baseball, Tn New York, for example, Jim McCulley Of the Daily News wrote a column lauding O'Neill to the skies, And Dan Parker of the New York Daily Mirror agreed. for once, and praised Steve'S efforts,
 Both Parker and McCulley. who might be expected to be typing the praises of Mccarthy, emphasized steve's spot in the baseball sun- as one of four brothers who made good in the major leagues, The three brothers were Catcher Jack who performed from 1902 to 1906 with the Cardinals, Cubs and Braves; Pitcher Mike who worked with the Cards and Reds from 1902 to 1907; and Jim, shortstop for the Washington Senators from 1920 to 1923.

Wright In Wrong
 With N.B.A. Stotes

Washington, Sept, i4,-CUP)- Fighter Chalky Wright faced sus- pension in the District Of Columbia and iH all states affiliated with the National Boxing association today because Of his failure to go through with scheduled bout tonight against Jackie Wilson.
 The fight originally scheduled for Tuesday night, twice was postponed because Of rainy weather, but after the second delay yesterday Wright returned to New York with his manager Eddie Walker.
 Promoter Joe Turner, who charg. 2 thet Wright ran out on us," said that the fight had been called or permanently,
 Turner said Walker had told him that Wright decided not to go through with the bout after the de. lay because Of . proposed fight with Willie Pep for the feRtherweight championship at Madison Square Garden in New York, Sept, 2o, Walker fepoFtedly said that we're not SO much afraid Of losing the fight as we are that Wilson might cut Wright up,"

This Sporting World
Tool Hos a Case
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

A protest committee Of four good men and true will listen to evidence involving protest of Q softball game apparently lost by Waterbury Tool last Saturday to the New Haven High Standard Gum ners 4-S when the above mentioned quartette sit as judge and Jury this evening at Bridgeport, Though the press has carried little or no notice of the real facts behind the Tool complaint, based on the rules of the game of softhall, the evidence should produce more than the usual claims where the player says "yes" and the umpire mo In this case technically charged against the um- pire, Q Waterbury man. by the way, for allowing Q runner to take first base on c "foul' ball; there is also included Intimidation of the ump by New Haven AOOLuMS, inter- ested in the victory of High Stan. dard and willing to do anything to accomplish that end, Police of the riot squad were called and there was general hell to pay, from the moment that Q New Haven player called the umpire some names that means immediate disquali cation from the game under the rules; but this player would not get of the field, after being ordered to do so by the umpire; and the tough guys" among the fans, backing the High Standard team, are alleged to have threatened the Waterbury ump with bodily harm, If the player went out of the game; or for that mat ter, If High Standard lost, So the ump felt he coul do little more about the matter, except hope that he could get home after the game, rather than occupy a hospital bed,
 A subtle suggestion to the Tool softball team that 1t play the game over Is partial admission of guilty knowledge of where the fault lies, and of the rules, which allow e team to win by forfeit, If a player of the other team ordered out of the game refuses to leave the field,
 Oddly enough, the state tourna- ment, so.called, Is sponsored by the State YMCA Association, which had no protest committee to handle such matters until 1t named one yesterday. But 1t has a good one, now, including Lou Nanchy of Fair- field, state softball commissioner; Glen Landenslager, Fairfield dis" trict softball commissioner; Jimmy Coogan New Haven Recreation Of. ficial and well-known basketball referee and secretary Of the New Haven whistle -tooters hoop board for years and Harry Abbott, Bridge port " secretary
 Knowing Nanehy and Coogan for years. the writer IS positive that the umpire'S report and the rules of the game will cause them to vote forfeit game in favor of Water- bury Tool, within a matter of min. utes, after all the evidence Is in. It Is also true that the YMCA peo- pie can't be blamed for the loud- mouthed threats of Q group of hood. lums. nor can the umpire be cen- sored too much for losing his nerve when the situation grew precarious
