FREDDY WELSH WONT HAVE LONG TO WAIT TO VINDICATE THAT OLD TYPEWRITER ALIBI
SCH00LFARMERS
ARENOWELIGIBLE
MANY PROMOTERS ARE ANXIOUS TO
STAGE IMPORTANT BOUT BETWEEN
JOHN KILBANE AND BENNY LEONARD
Services of Two Best Boxing Cards in Demand
and Fistic Financiers Are Bidding
Hard for Attraction
TITHEN Jim Jcffrlei crawled out of retirement some ear nRo to meet Jnck John
'son, boxing promoters fell nil over themselves In the wild ncramble to Marrc tlie
bout. Thousand of dollars were offered nnd the price was boosted until It ns
turned the proportions of tho national debt. The pame thin occurred when Lea
Darcy arrived In this country. A puree of $25,000 una too small even to ho con
sidered and soma of the more recklcsn guys went as Irish as $50,000 for n teiwound
combat. All of which boc to prove that money Is no object If n match looks Rood
enough to attract the fans.
Right now wo have another big match before us In Johnny Kllbune nnd lienny
Leonard. The easy victory of tho featherweight champion over Prcddy Welsh ami
his brilliant record In the squared circle makes hltn one of the most prominent
figures In the pugilistic ranks nnd taomird's long string of knockouts places hint
In the front row. livery one admits that Leonard Is the best lightweight In the
world and the only man who has a chance to dispute Kllbnno's claim to tho 133
pound championship. After defeating Welsh, many offers were made to Johnny to
meet Leonard In tho near future. New York headed tho list with n big bundle of
coin for an open nlr show, nnd afterward crime te'cgrnms from Matt Hlnkte, of
Cleveland, and messages from Dayton. Youngstown. Pittsburgh and other places.
Philadelphia nlso made an offer for u nlx-round bout, but nothing haa Ken
Cone. Tho boxers have not signed nrtlcles and tho I innngers have not yet got
together to arrange dyatls and select the battle ground It Is evident that they are
waiting for warmer weather, when the bout can be held In the open and n larger
crowd can help swell tho gate receipts
"line HAVK not had a big fistic battle In this country for some time and
' the
card.
re Is no doubt that Kllhane and Leonnrd will be n popular drawing
N'o matter where It Is held, n record gate should-rcsult
Henry Dlctzcr Would Stage Forty-Round IioiU in Baltimore
fpHEIlE are few places In the United Stated where decisions nre allotted and
-fewer whero a boxing contest can go more than twenty rounds. Kor that reason
we were surprised when Henry Meteor, manager nf (leorgo Chaney, announced that
he would mako u bid for tho battle and the boxers could, nelect their own distance.
If they want to box ten rounds, all well und gnodylf they wanted forty rounds, he
would oblige.
"Baltimore Is an Ideal spot to hold a big boxing match," said Bletyer. "We hae
the facilities to handle an enormous crowd arrd the match can go forty rounds, If
necessary. It will be a great drawing card nnd fans from New York, Philadelphia,
Wilmington, Washington and some of the Southern towns would Hock to It We
could hold It In tho ball park, vvlier,o there aro seatH for 33,000 persons, and eei
seat would be taken. Hut allow mo to state that I will not guarantee the boxers
a cent,
"I won't, spill any hot air about fnbulous purses to kid tho public. If Kllhann
and Leonard, or Kilbann and Welsh want to nettle their differences In lialtlmore
I will allow them to gamble with me I will glvo them 65 per cent of tho gate to
be split between ahem ns they ste fit. I have been In tho game too long to run
all of the risks.
"Despite, the thin gathering that witnesed the Lcvlnaky-Dlllon bout last sum
mer. Raltlmore Is a great sporting city. When Chancy was matched with Ktlbano
tho advance sale six weeks before tho light amounted to $12,000. That meant we
would have had n $50,000 house and 1 bellevo that Kllbane and Leonard could draw
more than that."
rpHlS apparently Is u regular offer, nnd If Hletzcr can hold long-iMstanco
- bout3. It should be looked Into carefully. A twenty-five rounder between
the featherweight champ and Benny would be worth going many miles to
see and the boxers would lose nothing ir they took a gamble.
Smoky Atmosphere Helped Pirates Feel at Home
FTUVO reasons can be advanced as to the whys and wherefores of the Phillies' defeat
--at the hands of tho Pirates In the third muss of tho BcrleH. First reason, tho
Callahan clan hit the old sphere with ev cry thing it had, and It had a heap.
Second reason, tho weather conditions. Heally tho visitors seemed to be in per
fect understanding with tho weather. Dark clouds hung over tho lot throughout
the gamo and the hoyn from Plratevlllo evidently felt tho benefit of tho Smoky
City atmosphere, as they connected with tho offerings of Ocschger. Lavender and
Paul Flttcry for a total of IS hits and 12 runs.
It was a good kind of a day for the fellow who doesn't get out to tho park
very often. The game gave the fans an opportunity to wonder If tho PlrateH
were' really as bad a-s they have been painted. To the moro experienced baseball
mind It was Just one of the days when tho Pirates looked good, and when you
look good nnd things arc breaking right for you, why. appoarances make one
appear n champion of champions. Outside of the terrllic hitting of Callahan's
men. every player getting a single except Hrlef. who previously had made a homer
In each game of tho series, the bic feature was l'lttcry himself. Paul didn't allow
a homo run.
Tho Phils used fifteen men In an effort to atop tho fusillade of the visitors. Joe
Oescnger, who recently turned In a splendid card In his match with the Cards,
got away clean for tvo innings, but ulong about the start of tho third frame the
dark clouds crowded what little sun had been trying to como out. nnd tho Pirates
began to get in their good work. Hill Fischer sturted the thing with n blow that
cleared the right field t.all b a wldo margin. This blow seemed to decide tho old
ball gamo right thero nnd then. After thnt Oesehger seemed to have forgotten he
had anything but n glove. After the Fischer blow, that seemed to have a good
mart for the railroad tracks, a certalrr Alex (!. McCarthy sent a two-bagger Into
Cravath'n territory, and after W. Cooper had sacrificed. Max Curcy, who enjoyed
a most pleasant and victorious afternoon, shot tho A. CI. S. for two sacks and
Alex O. registered. Joe tool; a firm grip nnd shot a fast one to Itlgbee, who
Klehoffed for the winners, and tho latter promptly drove tho ball into left nnd
Whttted held the ball to a Blngle. Things might have been all right yet, but tho
weather conditions had to bo figured unci tho fact that Joe was not the Oeschgcr
of last Friday; therefore, Uulrii leaned on a wide ono nnd It dropped In left, while
Carey scored the third run. This left Bigbeo and Ualrd on the paths, and Hill
Hlnchman seemed to take the position that they might as well come home. He
wasn't certain as to Just how it could be done, but ho waited his time, and when
Joe shot a pretty one In tho grove, he lifted It far Into the center field bleuchers,
While all three took their Jlmo walking in. Three nnd three make six, even in
Wartimes, and that was two moro than they needed to win.
JUST to show the faithful that there was nothing fluky about his home
W run In the third, Fischer, who was first up at tho sturt of the fourth,
lifted a clean blow over toward the right field wall nnd Cactus, taking one
look at the ball, figured It wasn't necessary to bother any moro about It.
The Pirates got a good many hits after this, despite tho fact that Joo
got a call to the showers and "No-hit" Jlmntv Lavender took up the
burden. Jimmy was doing fairly well, but a switch In the batting order
in the fifth. Adams taking Jimmy's turn at bat. and Incidentally hitting
the ball over lnt6 I! road street for the fourth homer of the contest, gave
Paul Flttery a chance to show his wares, nnd Paul stopped the scoring
of home runs.
Claude Cooper Makes Wonderful Catch
WHEN Manager Pat sent Hobby Hyrne to bat for Captain Ludeius In the sixth
frame. It gave Ciaude Cooper a chance to get Into the gamo In the seventh.
George Whltted came In from left and took up the work at first, lie was full of
fire and In the eighth he pulled a neat play on Ulgbee, catching the latter napping
after he had singled to left. In tho Pirates' half of the eighth Inning, Claude
Cooper made one of the prettiest catches of the present neason. Max Curey
drove one of Flttery's offerings at a terrific clip and It looked as though It was
labeled for the fifth home run of the day; the bleacher boys arose and were set
to act as substitute Phil outfielder, when Claude backed against the short-wall
and with his gloved hand grabbed the ball. The catch was so pretty that Max
himself took a second look at Cooper and showed his regard for the play by lifting
his cap. The lowly and amoky-atmosphero crowd tallied four more In the ninth
but why worry the Phil fan with any more? Today will see the last of the Pirates
on their present trip, nixey and Al Mamaux look good for today's work on the
hill. Moran will no doubt save the champion Alex for the opening game with
the Cubs tomorrow.
Minor Leaguer Has Busy Day at FiratBase
DICK KAUFFMAN, a native Keystone ball product now playing first for tho
Nashville Southern League team, set what Is believed to be a new record n
ttyf days ago by taking care of thirty-eight chances, all putouts, In two consecutive
nlne-lnnlng contests. Kauff man's greatest number of chances came In the second
of the two contests, when he turned back twenty-one ambitious starters on the home
Journey. Though there were but fifty-four putouts In the two games, it Is to be
noted that only sixteen putouts were necessary to be looked after by his other
teammates.
The mark set by Kauffman in the second game Is one that certainly tops any
other like achievement reported in any league bo far this season and was exceeded,
according to baseball records, by those made by jlggs Donahue and Ed Konetchy.
The former, wfltle with the White 8ox during the seaaon of 1905, took care of
twenty-three chances in a nlne-lnnlng game against the Yankees, while the present
Boston first sacSer,- then with the Cardinals, fell but one shy of this mark In a
rime with Pittsburgh in 1914, In this game Konetchy would have equaled Dona
hue's world's record had he not made one bobble. An Interesting point In connec
tion wlfh Kauffman's general feat was that he was performing against his former
teammaU of the Atlanta cub. Another was that PlUher Ellis, who worked n
i M vjuentM irKr number or putouu were registered, had nine assists.
