AUSTRALIAN IS LURED FROM STAGE
BY BROWNE'S BIG LEAGUE OFFER
Most Kecent Promoter Offers Les $30,000 to Meet
Al McCoy in Garden on March 5, But Albert Has
Not Accepted Terms as Yet Umps Want Union
TES DAncY ling been recognized nt lust, Ono ot our must rereht proniotpi-n,
XJ Grant Hugh Browne, lms offered tlio Australian JSO.noo for n 1out Willi Al
McCoy, the middleweight champion, In Muillioti Square CJorden Monday, March ft.
Leslie has nccepted the terms mid soon will begin real trnlnlns for his American
debut. This hiiRo purso Is what Darey has been Inolilug tor since his excape
from his iiatlvo land and ho grabbed It as )tilcl;ly ns possible. It took n, neophyte
In the fistic game to unload such n bundle of coin, for the wisp promoters lmo been
reducing tho first nppenranco rote for the last two weeks. Tho latest nftlcinl
flgtiro for a bout with McCoy, aa nuotcd by UleU Curie., Was $12,fi00. for a bnttlo
with Hilly ailsko $15,000 would have been donated, but Hint was tho top figure.
Tho promoters tho regular ones doped It out rightly thai t,a no longer Is a
drawing card, even In New York, and It would be u rrusly stunt to offer him n
fortune until ho has shown what he could do. Although glowing necounts of .
Darcy's prowess have been tecelved from Australia, wc lire not yet sure that the
Antipodean titleholdcr Is there with tho goods. We still remember th advance
notices of Dill Squires, who exploded In n couple of rounds several years ago. Some
' ot tho fans 'probably will remember thl nlso, and It Is a well-known fact that a
boxing bout these days Is tho easiest thing to stay away from.
A I McCoy Still to Be Heard From
BUT It Is not yet definitely known If the match will bo held, despite tJarcy'fl
willingness to fight. Tho party of the second part. Al Mif'oy by name, has not
yet chirped n. word, and tlu chances nro that Mr Rrowne will experlenco some
dlfflculty In getting Albert's signature to n set of article I!. liltMitl.v tho promoter
ha3 an Idea that tho American boxers will box Onrey for (he glory nlld advertising
they receive, and If such Is tho case Itrowno Is duo for n sail awakening. There
aro two things that American boxers are striving for jln-st days. The first Id
money and the second is more money. Al ItuPoy, whose real name Is Al ttudolph,
knows tho value of the mighty dollar, and ns he possesses tho middleweight UtU,
thero Is no. doubt that he will stage a couple of nets in frenult'il llimnco before
ho does business with Browne. It Is said that Al will be offered $10,000 for his bit
And then tho fireworks will start. McCoy wants IIS.OOO at Ihe present writing,
and It he can get more ho wilt not be too bashful to auk for It. Any way you
figure It out, it will cost Orunt Hugh $4..,000 to put on the wind-up. In addition
to that, there will bo tho expense of staging the show, the preliminary card,
advertising and things like that, and the new promoter will be lucky if he gets
by for $50,000.
In order to make any money out of tho show and the promoters, old or -.oimg.
are not In tho business for their health- It will be necetsiiry to boost the price of
admission. Tho W'lllard-Morau bout drew more than $100,000. but the prices ranged
from $23 down. The boxing public will not stand for prices like that to see UaVcy
and McCoy, and It will take an enormous crowd to make any sort of a box-office
showing at a reduced rate. Mr. Browne seems lo hni picked a bloomer, but you
never can tell whnt tho Dear uld l'ublic will do next. Perhaps ft will pUi.v
according to the rules set down by the late P. T. Bnrnum.
A POOR,
of We
Once-Upon-a-Time Stuff
POOR, downtrodden Ball Player washed down his meager Itepast with a flagon
'ealthy Water and observed a couple of Hig League Pitchers warming up
In the Shade. Observing further, he saw another Bunch of Players browsing near
the grandstand, apparently satisiled with their Lot and living the Lives of Knae
amid Teace and Plenty. Having Nothing to do and being forced to Carry his
own Lunch to offset the high cost of living, the Downtrodden Ouy had pleasant
dreams of being the Big Noise nnd a Regular Leader .So ho wandered over to the
Workers and Mingled with them us if he was used to Jt. Klrst ho Halted before
the ritchers and spoke to them as follows:
"You are a Couple of poor Boobs to be woiking your Arms off while the Other
Eimps take things easy In the Shade. What you Chumps need is a I'nion. Don't
you see that you are getting the Worst of if .loin the t'nlon nnd I will See that
you get what Is Coming to you nnd this Warming-up stuff will bo a thing of the
Past. You then will be Ablo to take jour Place in the Shade with the other Gents."
"Lead us to this t'nlon thing," was the duet from the Pitchers.
"Now, you Poor Pills." he said, turning to the' other Ball Players, "don't you
want to cnil this Life of Servitude and haw Regular .1obw? You nre a bunch of
Bums to stand for the Deal the Magnates are handing You. Kery day you go out
and Play Ball while the Pitchers work only every Third Day. They f.oaf while
you Work. It's Raw Stuff and It's up to You tu Protest. What you need la a
Union, and then you will Get your Rights "
"We Are On. What Shall We Do?" They Said
t'fTIHAT sounds Good to us." said the Ball Players In the Shade. "Were with
-- the Union from now on. We'll try an thing that will Stir up a little Talk
and Chatter. What do you want t's to Do'"'
"Why, you Gang of Flatheads, we'll call a Strike' The Mags can't get Alone
without You. When wo Showhow Strong we are we can Grab off Anything we
Ask for."
The strike was called, but the Magnates were not Worried. They did not Close
their Ball Parks, nor did they Shed Bitter Tears because the Players lid not appear
on the Job. Instead, they hired a Herd of Strike-breakers from the Minor Leagues
tand Sand Lots, while the Strikers got Jobs in Other lines of work.
"Oh, ain't I a Poor, Deluded Guy," moaned Terry McSwat, champion batsman
of the League last Year, an he stumbled over a coal Scuttle on his way to catch
the 5:15 a. m. car for tho Factory. "If I hadn't Listened to that Hunk of Hokum
I still would bo In the Feathers, not to be Disturbed until the Noon whistles
summon tho Laborers to Lunch. I could Rat my Breakfast In Bed and show up on
the Job at 2 p. m. and take a Shower before six. Now I um Compelled to Knd my
Days at This kind of Labor."
Moral: And in the Meantime, the Baseball Games were being Run off Daily
as Per Schedule.
Women GQlfer.s Justified in Foursome Protest
1 fpHE protest of the Women's Golf Association of Philadelphia at the annual
meeting yesterday in the Bellevue against the continuation of foursomes in the
Griscom Cup competitions was entirely Justified, Foursomes as a form of golf is
more of a freak and pastime than a method of play for trophies or a championship.
A foursome is the playing of n. single ball by two golfers playing alternate
strokes against a ball similarly played by two other players. One player may
make a fine shot, carefully calculated for some lie or shot to follow. Ills partner
in crime perhaps Hubs the next shot, spoiling the hole, It Is a continuous breaking
up of the play. One player Is never able to follow up a shot, but must always
eee It played by the partner. It Is a form of golf that has no part in the big com
petitions. It appeals to many just ha pluying a round with only one club does to
aome; something out of the ordinary.
IiostoniartH Wedded to Foursomes
SOMEHOW or other foursomes have always been very popular In Massachu
setts and It Is impossible to get the inhabitants of that State to abandon it.
The Boston women refuse to hear tho plaint of the Philadelphia's in regard to tho
foursomes. The feeling is so strong on both ides that there is almost the suspi
cion of a "scrap." The same condition exists in the men's three Sta to competition
for the Lesley (Jup Pennsylvania is rabid on the subject of tho abolition of tho
foursomes. But Boston "won't play'" if they are cut out, so that's uii there is to it.
Walter Travis, tho famous star, refused to play on tho metropolitan team for ths
sole reason 'that, foursomes were introduced. ,
It Is a more serious proposition to women than it in to men far the reason that
It requires thlrty-slx holes for the women, which they aro physically not ablo to do
and play good golf. The Philadelphia women last year might have won the ttUo U
they had not "whacked up" the foursomo with Boston in the afternoon, after
almost a clean sweep in the singles In the morning.
The Phlladelphlans take the stand that. astd from the phyalea,! strain, It does
not seem right to overbalance the results of Individual matches with a lot of messy,
careless, freaky golf in the afternoon.
Larry Bankart ok Chance to Coach Dartmouth Next Fall
THE' announcement that Larry Bankart would not be with Colgate nest fall has
caused rejoicing among the Dartmouth students and alumni. An effort was
made to sign Larry to take charge of the Groen team at the end of tho 1910 season,
but the Colgate coach then turned It down. It is said now that he will be in charge
of affairs at Hanover next autumn and his resignation Is merely the first step.
Cavanaugh's work as heart coach has not been satisfactory of late and a change
was desired. Bankart turned out wonderful teams at Colgate jn the last two
years and last season had one of the best elevens In the East. Only one game
was lost, and that to Yule, but It was only after the hardest kind of luck.- Colgate
rushed the ball down to the four-yard line in the firnt few minuted of play, but
lost a touchdown because of poor headwork on the part of Anderson, the miaiter
back. The game was such a severe strain on Bankart that he collapsed after the
final wlilie and was unconscious tor nearly an hour. Colgate came back strong
in the remaining games, .however, and ended the reason with a notable triumph
over Brown.
Baseball Umpires Now Anxious to Join the Union
THE official guessere In the big and mliunr teagues have announced their deslro
. to become afnUated with the American Federation of LUor ana have petitioned
that body for recognition. Just why the umpire are seeking union cards la not
known, unless it will give them more protection when the fans In good standing
are howling for their life's blood. The umps would like to have more police .pro
tection, a minimum Uy Until, a guarantee against mldseason salary cuts and
sudden dismissal Judging from the manner In which baseball is acting these
(Jays with KulU on the Job, it is possible that the umpfrea had auuther reason Xor
jOlniMj- the union t'utesa the trouble i nettled soon It will be jwcesaary for the

All Is Serene
t I)cspite the firm stand t.tken by Alexan
der, there was little excitement at thn head
quarters of the Phillies tills morning. The
startling news which was Mashed actusn
the wire's fiom Lincoln, Neb, did not seCtn
to annoy Piesident William ! Baker, who
remained nt his home In New York, nor
wns it serious enough to prv Hill Shettsline
loose from his rural retreat nl Ulenolden,
"Pa All of which shows Hint the local iiing-
hate.s evidently have an idea that Alex is
ticking through his hat.
In the absence of Messis. tinker nnd
Shettsline. Miss Alay Mullen. scretiir to
the president, consented tnie Interviewed.
Here is theDope
"What about that Alexander thing?" she
was asked, over the phone.
"Pun t know Anything about It," wns the
reply.
"Do you think the $15,0011 demand will
he met""
"Don't know "
"Do you think Aleck will quit the gan'ie
if he doesn't get a raise In salary'"
"How should I know?"
"What are Mr. Baker's plann?t Will he
discuss terms of a new contiact w'llh Alex
ander before the season opens?"
"That is entirely up to Mr, linker. Any
thing else 1 ian tell you'.'"
'That's all, thank you. Uood-by"
"I'und-bv."
Will Confer Xext -Month
However, It is known thut Baker and
Altxander will bold n confidence when the
big pitcher comes here February JO tu at
tend thn annual banquet of the Spot Hug
Writers' Association at Hotel Wnltou. Aleck
is a regular holdout und udmttted It in n
statement given out nt Lincoln. Neb , last
night He billeves he Is entitled lo a
three-year contract nt $15 0111) per. and for
that reason lias returned lii enntrm t un

to be met, but if there Is any slip-up, ho
says he will quit the. big Iciikui and play
fcemipio ball tills summer. Klllcfer prob
ably will Join him.
"This is no strike on my part," said
Alexander, "und tho fraternity row has
nothing to do with the nffa.r. 1 feel simply
that I am not lining compensated In propor
tion with my ability and worth to the Phila
delphia club: if Ty t'obb is worth $15,000

to the Phillies.
"I want a three-yeur contract, becuuse

HAVING decided to terminate my Philadelphia busi
ness Finally and Forever, my one thought is how
to liquidate my immense stock quickly. I realize that
every other clothing store in town is making a strong bid
for your patronage; but remember that they are going
to remain in business. It would be commercial suicide
for them to compete in value-giving with me right now
for I have cut prices on these high-grade Georges Model
Clothes absolutely without regard to cost, loss or any
consideration for next year. There will be no next year
for Georges in Philadelphia. In spite of the support of
my thousands of patrons in this chy and a splendid gros3
increase in business the enormous overhead expenses
of this store continue to make it a big loss to me.
