George Stal lings Has Record of Loyalty A SCORE of baseball magnates are gathered In New .York today for the pur XX pose of forever destroying the Tlaycrs' Fraternity headed by DaveKultz. We hold no brief for the organization, but It Interesting to note the record ( 'i ' Beveral .' the men who will take a leading part In the Interment ceremony. t The magnates have decided that the fraternity mint be obliterated Fultz has ( t been found guilty of leso majeste and the organization which he head Is doomed '., "'or ,ne Bod o' baseball," and yet some of the very men who arranged the demise of the fraternity were In their youth numbered among the liveliest opponents of organized baseball. It was Ban Johnson who led tho American League levolt In 1901. John K. Tener, as a pitcher, hopped from the National League to the Brotherhood. Connie Mack also hurdled from organized baseball to the Play- ,j , .n umsui aunng nis aciive career on tne diamond, unarue uomisKey cap ,J, 1 olnd the Chicago flayers' League team after leaping fiom the Hrowns. And t xnese are among tne men who will within the next few davs take drastic action aVtafnsi the Players' Fraternity. Verily, It make a big difference which side pf the fence a man Is on. George Stalllngs, one of the stormy petrels of model n baseball, Is one of the few baseball leaders In an ethical position to push the case ngalntt the re- , voltlng players. In 1890 Oeorge refused to Jump from organized baseball and, as i-: junior caicner, nacxstopperj ror tne .Brooklyn team. Ami tailings is one oi the few men prominent In organized baseball who has not burst forth Into print against the method of Dave Fultz and the men he represents. And It Is the Ban Johnson who led the greatest levolt In tho history of the game who says that John Henry, the Washington catcher, must go for his activity In the threatened strike of the players. It Is to laugh. "Tufty" Conn Will Not Break rpUFFr" CONN, the well-press-agented youth of the Far West. 'will not twirl '-the brakes of some of our best trains to Atlantic City as the preamble to entering the University of Pennsylvania as he had intended. The nedit list of studies the youthful but alarming halfback of the Oregon Aggies presented was not' accepted by the faculty of Penn, and yesterday the news was broken to the nil- yVestern backnelder that he would have to brace up certain departments of his university preparation before he could have a fling- at gridiron fame on Franklin i Field. Accordingly the stocky little fellow will enter La Salle College, peruse his books, diligently and enter the University when the autumn leaes ate falling "Tuffy" was to the Oregon Aggies what Howard Berry was to Tenn last season. His specialty Is the sensational and long runs a-ylpplng for the goal line of the n,emy. He is a great broken-field runner and hard to stop because he is built eo Close to the turf. "Tuffy" Has Seen Much in His Life 'rpUFFT" announced when he first landed In town that If he could not get Into -Lpenn he would get a job as a brakeman and try to enter tho University as a freshman next year. He Is a splendid trackman at that. But his hobby on the cinder tracks is .not railroading so much as It is sprinting. He has won many events In the Golden Gate area togged out in his spiked shoes, and has almost as great a reputation for his runnlng'as for football. He will be a valuable piece of mechanism Id, Penn athletic circles, though the one-year rule will keep him out of service right at the start. "Tuffy" says that he has covered more than 4000 miles on trips with athletic teams since his school days. "Out where I live," says "Tuffy," "they don't think anything of a slight 1500 mtle trip to play some other team. I have taken plenty of trips up and down the coast." 'Tuffy" says that Howard Berry didn't have chance In the game at the Coast for the reason that the enemy were "laying for him" and he couldn't break away because they smothered him every time he got the ball. "I don't believe he gained five yards in the whole game," said "Tuffy." "I couH sympathize with Berry. It was the same with me. When I was plalng t football around Los Angeles and in Southern California they were all on to me and watched me so I couldn't make a break. But when I got up north there In Oregon where I wasn't known it was a cinch to get away any old time'." , . Kicked Around With Doug and Charlie TflUFFV." like all other inhabitants of the movie star-Inhabited stretches of - California, has seen considerable of movie scenario action and has even kicked around with some of the stars. He and Doug Fairbanks, for Instance, are old cronies, and many is the time he has gone Ashing with the athletic movie hero. Many Is the time he has passed Charlie Chaplin on- the street, and "Tuffy" Bays Charlie is just like anybody else. Conn said he was one of a big crowd that watched the action of the Aiming t)f "Intolerance." The towers, he said, were built of cardboard, but some of the construction In theblg scenes was really remarkable. "Seventy-flve men are still In the hospital out there as the lesult of falling off the towers and walls in the big battle scenes. They were supposed to fall in nets. Borne did and some didn't. But at that, you wouldn't catch me doing some of those ,falls. I'd rather play In a tough football game than go through some of the stunts they ask the supes to do In the movies." There is another thing of which the youthful athlete has as much terror as stunts In the movies and that is trips on the billowy deep He never falls to be 'afflicted with the most rabid seasickness.

And -when he did! They point to the deadly execution of Leonard's right hand. , In the bout with Bloom Leonard's left hand was absolutely helpless The ibest he could do with It was a very poor attempt at guarding. He couldn't stab Iwlth It He made a show of holding it In front of him, but It did little good. Bit iln no less than three rounds he had Bloom In a very bad way. And Bloom is lone of the toughest lightweights in the game. Frankie Callahan Found the Same Conditions riRANKIE discovered that Leonard's left hand was in bad shape and he -T directed his efforts toward that side of his opponent with some success. He jnade a better showing than Bloom, but in the end 'he was Just as badly cut up by the viclajjs uppercu,ts and crosses from the Harlem boxer. Leonard was .fast, and an excellent Judge of distance, and he stopped numerous heavy blows Ifrom the gloves of his opponent. Such a showing as this entitles Leonard to' 'ome consideration from the champion. Welsh has engaged In only one twenty. :oimd contest since he won his title. He never has risked It more than that one (time in a decision bout. It is time another real match was made for Welsh, and Leonard , apparently Is the man. , .

JAFFE Artie Root, of Cleyelanrl, I? a bearcat In every sen's of the word The little Ohloan, handicapped by weight, height and reach, fought one of the most uphill battles seen In a Philadelphia ring at the Olympla last night, and Willie Jackson, the lad who sprang Into prominence oer night by his one-round kayo over Johnny Dundee, ua-i lucky and should be satisfied with a draw. For four roundi "loot held Jackson even, and pulled the unexpected by romping oft Into the lead when the.flfth frame finished Then It was a grandstand tally In the sixth by Jackson that enabled him to leave the ring undefeated, yet not the victor. It was a most Interesting contest from the opening gong until the finish, with terrific punches landed by both partjes. In the last period Jackson crossed a right hand punch on Root's chin while the latter was backing away and Art, slipping on the wet cam as, helped 13111 score a questionable knockdown. One big redeeming feature In Jackson's fax or was the proof that he has no "glass" jaw, for he withstood a number of vicious right hand wallo-in on this vulnerable spot, and Root popped some real haymakers off Willie's chin Jackson, too. connected with some healthy slams, and Root's strong Jaw also was In evidence. The melee was far from a tea party for either It wasn't expected to be for Root, but Jackson was the one who suffered rather than enjoyed the surprise of halng to box at his ery best form Root's mouth showed crlmon from beginning to end, while Jack son's left eje was gashed In the third round and his nose bled beginning with the fifth. Another Ohloan, George Lewis, of Toledo, made an Impressive showing by staying the limit with K. O I.oughlln, the cave man from South Bethlehem. Lewis put up a splendid scrap for three rounds, but In the remainder of the set-to he assimilated a lot of punishment. At the finish Lewis's face was badly cut and covered with blood, leaving the ring a rather rough-looking cus. tomer Instead of the good-looking lad he was on entering. "Wally Hlnckle outboxed Danny Fields; Al Fox stdfcped Johnny Murphy In the fifth after tho latter had taken an unmerciful lacing, and Doc Phelan coached Battling Mills to victory over Johnny Plazzl. , Half a dozen extra bo'uta were put on In different sections pf the arena, and like he fte scheduled numbers they were "no decision affairs." Another bad feature was that all of the spectators were unable to tee the unscheduled battles,, and there was no room for argument as to the winners.

"There ued to be a time," says a writer, "hen proselyting or scouting used to be prevalent In our college athletics." Just hat does he mean by "There used to be a time"? Why not unfurl the complete and correct truth regarding tho situation? D K. H. Bobby Jones, Jr. the young golfer, will be fifteen years old this1 Mirch. The report that he Is. seventeen or eight een Is untrue in every detail. He Is the youngest golfer that ever qualified In an amateur championship. "Most of those definitions concerning courage were wrong," writes F. H. L. 'Courage Is not only a matter of heart, but at times It Is also a matter of stomach, especially when there is anything the mat ter. I have seen more than one normally courageous man curl up and fade out with a bad touch of Indigestion. And a sleepless night has made many a player look like a qu'tter the next day as he tried to keep up his part with unstrung and unsettled nerves." This diagnosis Is absolutely correct. Cour age Is very often a matter of last night's sleep or today's digestion. The Job of being brave and bilious at one and the same moment Is no light undertaking.

After the brilliant showing of the West Philadelphia High School track team In the meet with Northeast, the West Phillies are now the favorites to win the Indoor cham pionship title. The Orange and Blue run ners and Jumpers form a well-balanced squad. As runners. up to Central High last year, the team across the river looms up very strong for so early In the season. Tteukauff. who won the fifteen-yard dash and second In both the standing broad Jump and shot-put. was the Individual star for West Philadelphia, but the many sec ond and third places won by the Speed Boys gave them their victory. Barron, Stead em, Toner, Grubb, Krler Walsh, Pearson, Wilson and Koberts were the point win ners for the Walnut street school. Northeai High's particular star was Ttodgers, captain of the team, who won three first places. One man cannot wln' meet, and though Rodgers won the stand ing broad Jump, the 220-yard dash and the quarter-mile dash, the visitors were de feated by a score of 42 to 30 points Kodgers showed that he would win more scholastic honors In the snrints and mM. die distance runs and Is running in fine form. Episcopal Academy has an Important In door dual track meet with Friends' Cen tral School next Friday afternoon, but It Is very doubtful if many of the Episcopal point winners In the recent meet with Cen tral High will be able to compete against the Blue and Gray squad. The faculty has barred Captain Frank Bache, D. Bache, Johnny Earp. McKenna Wiener and Erben. They are the leaders In track sports at the locust street school and their loss Is a great blow to Coach Alex Grant. Earp is the all-round star who won three first places .In the recent meet and one of the best athletei ever developed at the Eplscopa) Academy. Frequently one hears of the selection of a school coach or official to take up duties ln Borne Important college event. Last week, when Penn played Rutgers, the Uni verslty of Pennsylvania officials called upon Philip G Lewis, chairman of the approved board of basketball referees, to handle the whistle ln this contest. Professor Lewis, who h thoroughly famll lar with the Intercollegiate League rules under which, virtually all tHe school teams now play, did very good work In this con test. In fact, he had been asked to referee the first half, but he did so well the officials In charge asked him to continue his work throughout the game. It Is worthy of note that the high school officials and men in charge of basketball affairs among the city schools are asked to take part In the proper handling of college contests, and It Is a big compliment to the scholastic ofllclals who are qualified to take up this work.
