l.m ordered the other six little fellers on
m lit team today to tnko n. rest and n light
workout for tne rem 01 me wee.
cn" Brlcker la not quite. as high as
K'two medium putters, but he's about the biff
s' Kit and oldest member of the team, be
V ililcs claying- No. 1. so his word Is law.
Captain Drlcker said today ho would give
... ..moderation to the aspirations of any
t Stiii) team of caddies which might wish to
away from his team, but looked for his
Itni to giro all comers a severe tralloptng.
Hl good men were equally confident.
rt..v ain't no bunch In the city kin
' trim us," clamored several of the midget
S....I. at once. "The faster they come
" the Quicker we kin lick 'em."
1 The age limit Is set at 18 years, the
number of men on n team at seven, and the
course to be decided by tho flip of a coin.
i Crown Changes Browa
Huntingdon Valley won the blue bunting
yesterday after a bitter strugglo with the
Old York Road caddies by tho Bcoro of four
matches to three, and by n wide margin
of points.
York Road had previously claimed the
championship by n victory over Fhllmont,
which had beaten some othor team which
had beaten somo other team, nnd so on.
Thus, the title comes to the Noblo end
let by straight succession. Somo fine
matches were brought out when the crown
changed heads yesterday at Huntingdon
Valley.
The' big match was that between Cap
tain Brlcker. H. V. C. C, and Captain Louie
Blddell, O. Y. II. C. C. niddell came touted
U one of the best caddy players In Phila
delphia. He was said to have shot a 78 at
York Road when ho beat tho champion of
the club. 6 and 5. But Brlcker, missing
sbout.alx putts of less than two feet,
tnncked out an 87 and laid York Road's
i. pride by the heels. 6 and 3.
t A sample oi ineir piuy may uo una irom
f the tJ5-yard third hole. Brlcker was home
In threo shots, nut rar rrom tne pin. Hid
dtlt was In the bunker to the left in three.
He laid his ball from the sand, over an
other pit, dead to the hole, nnd got his
.'par 5. Brlcker ran up his long putt In a
time try ior a uira, uui goi b. nan. ino

At 43 he won his fifth title. Ase Is not the

fuss Juat naturally Jumped his ball over tho
stymie Into tho hole. His careless nono
chatance astounded all present. Most of
all It flabbergasted poor four-foot Jlmmle.
Tho Huntingdon Valley caddy was so up
set he put his drive to tho eighteenth out
of bounds, losing the hole, and his five on
the extra hole was not good enough for tho
par ngures of Kelly.
Another nlncteen-hole match . went
igalnst Huntingdon Valley when Fred
Coates was beaten by Frank McKeon, of
Old York Road. Coates was In the rough
even with the pit on the eighteenth, while
McKeon was also very short and In the pit.
The tiny Noblo caddy brought a great burst
of handclapplng from the gallery at the
finish, when he bent back nnd shot his ball
out of the clinging grass on the green. It
rolled almost off.
McKeon saw things were looking gloomy
so he walloped his ball for all his young
strength was worth nnd landed with a
thud not five feet from tho pin.
GccI A Caddy Blushes
Coates was considerably fussed by the
gathering. He hurriedly ran up to his ball
and putted to within three feet of the tin.
McKeon was also rattled and was two feet
away from a downhill putt. Coates ran up,
took a funny stance, quickly sank his
wicked putt, conceded McKeon his decidedly
unsure last-chance putt, and beat it quickly
(rom the gallery to the nineteenth tee,
His Caddy was his 7-yoar-old brother,
about as big as the bag. McKeon'a caddy
was his "baby" brother, nlso, nnd the two
tiny caddies went after each other almost
as much as their "big" brothers did.
Jack McDcrmott, no relation to the
former one-nnd-only, had the honor of trim
ming Francis- Cortln. Old York Road, the
youngest caddy In the fraca3. Cortln In
only 12 years old and was licked, 6 and 3.
"Ge whiz, I'd get In a pit an' I couldn't
see nuflln," he said In explaining his de
feat. Dave Cuthbert. pro at Huntingdon Valley,
was one of those In the gallery who fre
quently expressed his admiration for tho
play of tho youngster's.
"Just the way I learned to play the
game," he said, waving his hand at the lit
tle fellows scattered all over the course.
"We used to play when we wero kids In
Scotland, all the kids In town. I played
almost as good a game at St. Andrew's
when I was that high as I do now, home
In two most of the time and down In two
more every time."

An offer of S100O haa been mads Kid Williams

If Billy McCarney, who la a matchmaker In

It Is apparent that, tho Buenos Aires boilnr

bring them home. It Is aald the promoters hao
not gone through with arroementa In paying
Suarantecs to the boxers, everything would bo

the present shark scare.
As In baseball, upsets somo times prove a
feature In tho boxing pastlma. Tho knock-out
victory scored by Tommy Jamison over Eddlo
Hincklo at the Broadway Club last nlxht was
a blr surprise. Both lads possess terrific wal
lops, and It was a casa of "beating tha other
to tho punch." but Hincklo ruled a fatorite
because of hla advantage In experience, Eddie,
howeier. walked flush Into a left-hander tn the
second round and It was curtalna for Mr.
Hlnrkle. This, victory. Is a big boost for
Jamison's fighting stock.

the brilliant performances of the members
of tho track teams of the Vlctrlx Catholic
Club nnd the Shanahan Catholic Club, both
of Philadelphia, In the annual champion
ships of the Catholic Young Men's National
Union, held nt Celtic Park yesterday.
From the opening event It was a duel be.

with 38 points, to 26 for their .Shanahan
rivals. Third honors went to the Knights of
St Anthony, of Brooklyn, with 17 points.

sentative. This was gained by Edward
Garvey. of the Knights of St. Anthony.
The easy victories of Jllke J. Doyle In

ZnYSZKO WINS POUT
Defeats Swedish Wrestler on Mat in
Central Park Arena
Zbyszko. the mighty eon or Poland, threw
Charles Ohlson. the Swedish wrestler, at
Central Park last night twice In a bout of
catch-as-catch-can wrestling. The Pole se
cured the first fall with n, scissors and bar
arm lock hold after 19 minutes nnd 40 sec
onds, and the second fall In 8 minutes and
37 seconds with a back-head chancery.
Ohlson proved a worthy substitute for
Ingoxx, the Russian Cossack, who failed
to appear through Illness. In the course
of the first period tho men maneuvered In a
masterly manner. Ohlson was especially
cautious, but had to be warned by the ref
eree several times for pugilistic tactics.
Both principals tugged for a body hold, with
the result that Zbyszko proved the cleverer,
obtaining the winning scissors hold.
In the second period Ohlson obtained
a toe hold which made Zbyszko wince, but
which the Pole broke cleverly. Then after a
left Jab from Olilson, Zbyszko caught his op
ponent off his guqrd and in tha twinkling
of an eye tumbled his adversary to tho
mat and secured a head chancery to which
Ohlson succumbed amid the shouts of the
large crowd In attendance.

22.- -Krsklne Mayer was set ngalnst the
Pirates In the" llrst game today In nn ef
fort o break the Jinx which has pursued
the Phillies In this city this senson.
Manager Mo ran wns very much peeved
nt the loss of yesterdays' double-header
nnd admits that he will be satisfied now If
the Phillies capture two of the remaining
games hero
The veteran Bob Harmon, who has not
been pllchlng very good ball this season,
wan on the mound for the Pirates, and
this gave the Phils hope, as they figured
two runs would not win the game.
Today was tho hottest of the year In
Pittsburgh and the players lacked ginger.
Mayer was gree'ed with a bombardment
of slashing hits In the opening Inning.
Warner led off with a line slnglo past Ban
croft and took third on Carey's long dou
blo to right. After Schulte had fouled
to Stock, Hlnchman scored both runners
with another line single to right.

PUGILISTIC LABOR DAY
WORKERS WILL SEPARATE
PUBLIC FROM BANK ROLLS
Next Monday's Schedule in Ring Arduous but Not
Gratuitous White Has Heavy Task
Laid Out for Him
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
TABOH DAY will be fittingly celebrated I Notwithstanding thla display bt eonft-
JU In these United Stales, a week from
ne.it Monday. Union men throughout the
country will be quite active, but the mem
bers of the boxers' union aro scheduled to
put In tho bus
iest day In years.
Many of our
best-known pugi
lists, who are so
far advanced In
publicity that
they can look a
promoter straight
in the cyo nnd
demand $10,000
for a few rounds'
work with a soft
opponent, are on
tho cards as star
attractions, and
many thousand
fight fans are ex
pected to pay the
freight.
This pugilistic
"labor" will bo
n W .MAXWELL arduous, but not
gratuitous. In fact, several bankrolls will
be fattened considerably on September 4,
and, as examples, wo mention tho follow
ing cases:
Johnny Kllhnne, $10,000, for 48 min
utes of light exercise,
Oeorgo Chnney, $0300, for three
fourths of nn hour's very hard work.
Carl Morris, $10,000 or more, If the
"gate" Is cond.
Frank Mnrnn, $10,000 for IS rounds,
If ho lasts that long-.
Charley IVIitte, $1300 for n hour's
marathon run after Freddy Welsh.
Freddy Welsh $13,300 for keeping
away from White's left hook for 20
rounds.
Jack Dillon, $10,000 for 30 minutes'
labor ngalnst some ham ln Now York.
Other Bnttles
There are other battles to be fought, but
the participants will not grab off any of
the soft kale. Johnny Ertle mingles with
Benny Kauffman at the Olympta and re
ceives but $1100 for his work, so he cannot
be classed with other members of the union.
Kid Williams also has a scrap some place
with somo one we know nothing about, and
he, too, will bo forced to get along on a
paltry thousand or so.
But looking over tho list of the real
money guys. It will be observed that the
only strenuous work of the day will be done
by Charles Anchovltz, called Charley White
for short. Mr. White will be kept quite
busy and In addition to that, he Is the worst
paid man on the card. Chancy also will
havo his hands full, but anybody will take
a beating for $6500 cash.
This Kllbane-Chaney fuss looks to bo the
best on tho bill and no doubt will draw a
record crowd. It Is tho most talked of
match that haa been held In years, for the
boys were matched a couple of times before
and nothing came of It. Chaney Is tho only
logical contender for the featherweight
crown, and although he cannot be called a
topnotcher, he possesses a knockout wallop
which makes him a very dangerous oppo
nent at all times.
Kllbane has started training for the fray
and will be well under weight ln a week
or so. Chaney has been working at a sum
mer resort outside of Baltimore, and Is
said to be In good shape. He now weighs
1254 and will get down to tho feather
weight limit easily and still be strong.
Chaney will leave for Cedar Point, O.,
where the mill will be staged, next Sun
day, when he will finish his training,
Welsh, 129ft Pounds!
Speaking of weights, Freddy Welsh put
one over on the Dear Old Public In Denver
the other day. He has been out West
getting Into shape for his mix-up with
White and has been burning up the roads
near Denver. After a hard work-out he
stepped on the scales and tipped the beam
at 120H pounds. It Is hard to believe,
as Freddy weighed 143 when he was box
ing here last winter and never sealed un
der 135 for any of his big matches In
New York. However, the Commissioner of
Seals and Weights of the city of Denver
tested the scales, and then did the weigh
ing, and to make It look right, he Issued
a signed report stating that everything
was. correct.
If Freddy really weighed under 130, he
baa surprised every one, and we must cease
panning him about not being able to make
the lightweight limit.
White is confident of flattening the cham
pion on Labor Day, and has wired all of his
friends In Chicago to hock the family Jewels
and bet as much as they can on his chances.
Charley has been trimmed three times by
Welsh In no-declslon bouts, but he cares
nothing for that. He has a hunch that his
time to win has come, and showed It when
hi met Fredy In Denver the other day.
"Hello, Freddy," said Charley.
"Howdy," replied Welsh.
"You know I helped you win the cham
pionship," continued White.
"Yes," said Welsh; "you gave Ritchie a
terrible beating before I met him."
"And now," retorted the challenger, "I
am going to take It away from you."

dence White will have a very rocky time
when he starts after Welsh. Freddy knows
Charley's style and often has said that he
could beat him every day In the week.
White Is made to order for the champion,
and from where we are sitting Charley
doesn't seem to have n. chance. But, you
know, mistakes will happen.
Boxers Arc Stranded
Here's a bundle of sad news which
reached this country by mall because the
sender did not havo the price to send A
cablegram.
The American boxers who Invaded Argen
tina to pick up some soft dough are flat
broke. They are stranded on alien soil,
their meals are few and far between and
they nre longing for another sight ot tha
old homestead.
According to reports, the bottom has fal
len out of the Buenos Aires boxing carnival.
The public did not take to It as waa ex
pected, so the promoters did not keep any
of their promises In regard to the btg
purses. The boys were forced to box for
almost nothing, nnd made Just enough for
expenses. They haven't enough to pur
chase tickets home and frantic appeals for
help have arrived In New Tork. .
It must be remombered that It Is winter
down In tho Argentlno now and the weather
Is quite cold. In addition to that, reports
have been received here that coal Is selling
at $40 a ton. It must be terrible to freeze
to death tn a. Btrange land!
