PHILADELPHIA RACQUET PLAYERS HAVE GREAT CHANCE TO CAPTURE NATIONAL 'TITlf
O'KEEFE-TENDLER FIASCO
OPENS EYES OF PUBLIC;
BETTER BOUTS ASSURED
Investigation to Be Made by Director Wilson,
and Supporters of Game Will Be Protected
1 Against Unsatisfactory Performances
WHEN Eddie O'Koefe and Low Tendler. the "hltless wonders," put on their
ilx-round nnsco nt the Olympla Athletic Club Monduy night, they boosted
the boxlnjr frame In Philadelphia. It Is true that they put up a miserable ex
hibition, and most of tho audience left In disgust before the bout was half over,
but tl.elr performance opened the eyes of tho local authorities, and nn In
VeaUsation of the affair will bo made by Director of Public Safety Wilson.
Acting upon a suggestion mndo by tho Evcnino Lr.DOEn, Mr. Wilson or
dered Superintendent of Pollco Itoblnson to lool up tho true facts and take
notion that will safeguard tho public In tho future. Moro than 2000 was
epont xy tho patrons of tho Olympla to witness what they thought would
be ono of tho fastest exhibitions ever held In Philadelphia. Instead, they Raw
a very poor bout, with both boxers acting as If they were Indulging In a ilcllb
crate "frame-up."
It would bo unjust to pluce tho blame on the Olympla officials for this
exhibition. They couldn't afford to toko a chance like that, especially when
two such mediocre boxers nro concerned. They have nn established business
and aro dependent upon the public for support. Unless they give good Hhows
tho attendance will fall off.
Both O'Keefo and Tendler are the offenders and deserve all tho punish
ment that can bo meted out to them. They got Into the ring to give a boxing
exhibition and showed tho proper way not to give one. Wo will not go bo
far aa to call It a fuke fight, but It certainly looked like one.
Vila Declares Baseball In Tophcavy
Joo Vila, tho veteran baseball writer of tho New York Evening Sun, who
always has been a loyal champion of Organized Hall and Its magnates, agrees
heartily with tho Evening Lnnonn that baseball is becoming tophcavy. Other
Veteran scribes also have come to the opinion that baseball franchises aro selling
for far more than thoy are worth. Vila, however, contends that tno greatest
evil of frenzied finance Is caused by paying players too much money.
In making this statement Vila overlooks tho fact that the players always
win Insist on being paid In proportion to tho capitalization of tho club. If a
magnate Invests tl.000,000 In a franchise and Ms only chanco to get It back und
how a profit lies In building a powerful ball team, it Is only natural that tho
players his only assets will insist on a salary Increase Just as long us price
of franchises is increasing.
Forced to Pay Exorbitant Salaries
Under the captiort) of "Frenzied Finance in Daseball" Vila says In part:
"If some of the baseball magnates und light promoters don't curb them
selves they will run into bankruptcy proceedings. Tho magnates, having
squelched the Federal League, seem to have an idea that tho national game Is
duo for such a greut boom it is safe to spend record-breaking sums for over
rated players. Tho tight promoters, in their wild desire to work the sporting
public to the limit, are throwing business Judgment to the winds. They are
offering guarantees and purses which aro sure to result In heavy losses.
"During tho late rumpus with the Federnl League, the magnates on both
Bides of tho fence were forced to pay exorbitant salaries to many of their
players. Ball clubs which were, once considered gold mines finished with
euch largo deficits that their owners either sold out or will be ready to quit
if the coming season again proves disastrous for them. Yet, In spite of tho
tophoavy salary lists and the financial obligations which have been Inclined,
tho magnates are doing nothing to reduce thu exaggerated values of players
and franchises.
"Although the Iato Andrew Frecdman bought SI per cent, of the Giants'
atock In 1S85 for J49.00O, H. X. Hempstead recently offeied to sell 62 per
cent, of tho stock to the Gnffney-Davls-SIncluir combination for $1,400,000.
Colonel Huppert and Captain Huston, who secured the Yankees a year ago for
JI0O.00O, named fOO.OOO as the price of their holdings when Sinclair asked
for the figures last month. Sinclair secured an option on the St. Louis
Cardinals the other day, but he is not expected to close the deal,. Inasmuch
as tho Brittons now demand nearly J3."0,000 for the franchise, without the
ball park.

"On top of this comes the news that C. V. Somers probably will remain
In control of the Cleveland club becniibo nobody will fork over $."60,000.
The American League, therefore, must llnance Somers with $100,000 to tide
his club over until 1917. Of course, the Clevelands are not worth S56O.0O0,
when It Is figured that the Cubs have been sold for $500,000. In fact, con
servative baseball men Insist that the suims paid for the Cubs, Braves and
Browns were rldlcu ously high, and that tho new owners will soon realize
that frenzied llnnnc" pervades the national pastime.
"In their frenzy to buy alleged stars or Intlated franchises, some of the
magnates evidently forget that only two clubs can win major leagues pennants
next fall, together with the right to take part in the Juicy world's serlos. Four
teen clubs must be disappointed and eight of them cannot escape the second
division. Baseball Is .so uncertain that clubs picked to win pennants often drop
to the rear because of accidents or trouble in the ranks,
"Take the Cubs for example! Weeghman, the Chicago lunchroom man, has
Just dellvored 500,000 Iron men to Taft and Murphy. Weeghman feels sure that
tho Cubs, managed by Tinker, his bosom friend, will win tho National League
championship. But outsldo of Weeghmaii's set in Chicago this belief Is
laughed at.
"The merriment will continue, too, as long as Tinker remains fixed In his
determination to play Yerkes on second base and Doolan at shortstop, at the
same time depending on Miner Brown and Reulbach to pitch in old-time form.
Terkes, Doolan, Brown and Hculbach were through in the major leagues two
years ago. If tho Cubs, therefore, do not finish on top Weeghman, it is pre
dicted, will find that being a major league magnate isn't such a soft thing after
all."
Seaton's Purchase a Big' Surprise
The purchasing of Tom Seaton by Joe Tinker, new manager of the Cubs,
came as a surprise to local fans, who had been led to believe that the former
Phllly twlrler had thrown his arm out. Tinker saw enough of Seaton last
season to know that lack of condition und not a sore arm had affected the
big fellow's work. Seaton probably will return to the form which made him
the most feared pitcher In the National League. Others had better records
nd, perhaps, more "stuff," but batsmen feared Seaton more than any other
hurler in the National League In 1913.
President Johnson Is quoted as favoring another representative on tho
National Commission, preferring a ball player of the Sam Crawford type, A
few months' ago Johnson had nothing but unkind words for ball players. He
forbade them to write for newspapers; said they wore allowing their greed to
run away with their better Judgment and made a few other unkind remurks.
Perhaps It Is a case of anybody being preferable to the old arrangement.
Can one blame a wonderful pitcher like Kred Toney for refusing to sign
a contract calling for $4000 a year, when Joo Godeon, a minor leaguer, who
Is yet to prove himself of major league calibre, gets a three-year contract call
ing for $18,000, to be paid at the rate of $5000 for tho first year. $6000 for
tho second and $7000 for the third?
Just how much difference one man's absence Is felt In a basketball game
has been demonstrated recently In the ranks of the Camden Eastern League
club. DIeghan has not been In condition, the result being that C'iimden has
taken a bad slump. While DIeghan was ablo to play last night against Heading,
he was not in the best shape and was unable to hold up his end of the play,'
Camden was therefore beaten badly. The Beading five scored nine field goals
against the South JerseynTen's five,
Philadelphia Is well represented In' the racquets tournament which Is
scheduled to begin today In Boston, Wear and Brooke, of the Philadelphia
Racquet Club, have a splendid chance to win the national doubles.
Frank Baker Is still In the Yankee lime-glare. The latest report gives
J. Franklin a salary of $7500, This figure, according to the revised salaries
which must johow Daserjau peace, is almost aouuie Baker's present value.
From a local point of lew the draw for
the national doubles racquet champion
ship, which begins at the Tennis and
Racquet Club, Hoston, tomoirow, Is an
excellent one. Philadelphia will be
repiesented by only one pair, Geoige H,
Brooko and Joseph W. Wear, and on I
form this season they should stand a
better chnnce of capturing the champion
ship than any other local pair that has
ever competed in the event.
Brooke and Wear have fortunately been
drawn In the upper hnlf of tho bracket,
and the national champions, Clarence C.
Pell and Stanley O, Mortimer In the lower
half, and tho probabilities arc that thv
will meet In the llnal round The most
formidable pair Brooke and Wear will
be called upon to meet In the upper
bracket Hill he Joshua Crane and C. S,
Cutting. As good as these men are. It
will Indeed be surprising If they defeat
the local men. H. C. Clark and II. Mor
gan will be met by Brooke and Wear In
the first round, and on form there
should be nothing to It but Brooke and
Wear. In the lower hnlf of the bracket
there are some very strong pairs, and
Pell and Mortimer will have a bard row
to hoc before they reach the final round.
First of all they will meet tho u Inner of
the match between P. D. Haughton and
J. W. Cutler and N. H. Cabot and B.
Wendell, and If they win this match
they will be called upon to play G. It.
I' earing and Philip Stockton or a G.
' aterbury and J. C Wnterbury, and In
-ther event they should have all their
work cut out.
If Pell and Mortimer and Brooke and
Wear meet In the final round the match
will assuredly he a great one. Already
this season Brooko and Wear have de
fented the champions twice, and they
will be eager to make It three straight.
On the other hand Pell and Mortimer will
bo burning with a desire to wipe out
their previous defeats, and neither side
will give or ask any quarter. The draw
Is aa follows:

3. Matty and Miner Brown to have their

Cincinnati Is so long over due in tho
way of pennant glory that her flag out

The Phillies closed up a tO-jear gap Inst

first manager that wins a penunnt for
Cincinnati will bo unanimously Indorsed

Pitching Staffs
Last season the Bed Sox had tho best
pitching staff In baseball. They wen
able to enter three stars In a world serle.
and still keep their two best percentage,
men on the bench.
This season they will still have such r
pitching margin that it Is difficult to se
how any rival club can beat them down
Carrlgan has Shore, Leonard, Ruth,
Wood and FOBter to ram against th.
enemy In turn. No matter which man h.
picks, base hits nnd runs are sure to be
scarce. And he can have two stars go
wrong nnd still have a winning staff left.
If It wnsn't that baseball was baseball
and therefore beyond the border of all
dope the Red Sox could be registered as
1916 pennant winners even now. That
pitching staff plus that outfield would be
enough- They have pitchers you can't
hit and an outfield that can go anywhere
In tho same county and get 'em If a mis
take occurs and some ono strikes a solid
blow. We haven't enough speed today
to deeply dent tho meringue on a lemon
pie. But for all that, we wouldn't bo
very perturbed at pitching a ball gnme
with Spenkcr, Lewis and Hooper to re
trieve blows that left rival bats.
A round-up of all golfers nho were "oft
their game" would also moet the required
EO0.00O, Infuriated enough to chargo any
trench In tho world.

Wlllcox Is primarily a track man and

Last spring, his first as a varsity ath- '

Intercollegiate record, but was faster than
Meredith himself had ever run it. '
Wlllcox waa confident that he could
beat Meredith last spring, and he still
thinks he can accomplish It. Hut whllo
ho failed he at least made Meredith
equal the Intercollegiate record.
In addition to bis track work, Wlllcox

The acquisition of big Den Barrlsh and
Patsy Kllpntrick to the Do Neil Reserves
has prompted Manager Abe Itadcl to
Issue a challenge to all independent nnd
minor league clubs to play a game or 11
series of gnmes to determine the much
mooted championship of the city. For
years there has been a general dispute
on nmong the various teams as to which
club hnd full nnd just right to tho title
as independent chnmplons of the city,
and this season the same controversy has
arose between Ilookwood, West Branch
Y. M. C. A., St. Rita's Madonnn. Jasper
Reserves, Greystock Reserve!, Stetson
Mission and others.
Thoso clubt aro nil first-class ones In
the Independent ranks, nnd believing that
his five Is Just as good ns any of those
mentioned. Manager Radel has butted
Into tho discussion and Is willing nnd
anxious to matoh his pets against them
all to decide tho question of Issue.
Reside playing the preliminary game nt
Musical Fund Hall on Saturday night the
Reserves also travel a good deal apd aro
open to book any midweek games away
from home. Manager Radel has already
arranged to have some of the Industrial
League leaders play nt Musical Fund Hnll
nnd Is nlso trying to book Glrard Alumni,
that famous team which Is cleaning up
the American League. If the Reserves
can trim them they feel sure they will
have a club cnpablc of winning tho inde
pendent championship of the city.
The first teal test of the newly con
structed De N'erl Reserves will be on Sat
urday night, when they will entertain
tho famous Urownson team, of Wilming
ton, at Musical Fund, the game being a
preliminary to the Do Neri-Camdcn East
ern League tussle.
Two field goals In tho last few minutes
of the final period gave the Reading team
a victory over Camden last night In the
Eastern Leaguo basketball series by a
score of 30 to &. The visitors played a
fast game and led on both halves
At the end of the first "0 minutes of play
Reading was lending by a score of ;i
