.WELSH'S TITLE CHEAPEST THAT EVER
CHANGED HANDS IN CHAMPIONSHIP
BATTLE; HE GOT BUT $5,000 FOR IT
Poor Management on Part of Pollok Caused
Freddy to Turn Down $40,000 Purse and
Chance for $50,000 Bout With Leonard
A NEW member wns Initiated Into tho Concrete League Monday nlfjht after pull
"lng one of tho mot famous "boners" since tlio day Merklo failed to touch
second base. Harry Tollok, of N'Yawk, manager of Treddy Welsh, qualified when
he allowed his meal ticket to enter tho ring with IJenny Leonard and bo punched
full of holes for the price of a beef stew compared to tho purses champions re
ceive nowadays. It was tho chcopcat tltlo that ever changed hands, and the wise
old birds who roost on Broadway nio talking about It jet I'reddy recehed tho
munificent sum of $5000 for loilng n championship which cost him $30,000 caih
money. He bet al to one against himself and then pocketed his loss It was a
terrible pleco of business, but It only proves that nothing Is certain theso das
and the healthiest pitcher In tho world Is likely to bo broken if It makes too fre
quent visits to the well-known well. But something must hae been wrong In
Monday night's program, for $5000 H no moro than clgarctto money when bidding
for the lightweight championship of the world
To provo that Pollok made a sucker play, allow ui to reclto come ancient
history. In tho first place, Welsh was offered a match with Klllnno In Cleveland
or Cedar Point, O, fifteen rounds to a decision Matt Illnklo was willing to stago
the match and offered a purso of $3.",000. Kllbmo sa. i he would not tako a cent
and allow Treddy to pull down tho entlro bunch of col. When Pollok nnd Welsh
hesitated over that proposition1. Kilbino and his manager, Jimmy Dunn, offered
to stage tho match themselves nnd give Welsh every cent that came through tho
gate. Tou see, they were certain thit Freddy could not laBt flftcecn rounds In n
hard fight, and If ho did he would bo outpointed nnd outclassed so badly that ho
was bound to lose tho refereo's decision
BUT thcro was nothing doing, despite tho assurance of a gato which
would exceed $50,000. It didn't seem enough, and It wasjeclded to stick
to the ten-round game nnd pick up some moro soft money Welsh figured
that he was good for another year, and at tho end of thnt time ho could
retire with tho title and convert It Into cash through advertising
Billy Gibson's Pair of Offers Also Were Turned Down Cold
LAST winter Billy Gibson tried hard to match Leonard and Welsh In a fort
i round bout in Havana, Cuba The purso was $40,000 and Pollok was given tho
privilege to cut It nny way he saw fit But nothing cimo of it Two weeks ago
another offer was made A twenty-round decision bout was to bo pulled somo
place In Connecticut near New York, and the ttcoipts would have amounted to
anywhere from $60,000 to $75,000. Olbson says ho was willing to go In for nothing,
and If Welsh didn't caro to gamblo ho would offer him a flat guarantco of $40,000
Tollok again was blind and tho match fell through Yet ho sat in Welsh's corner
Monday night nnd saw his man go down In defeat while an audlenco which paid
$13,100 looked on It surely was a bargain, for WcWh had nothing to gain nnd
everything to lose
The lightweight championship is tho most popular In the world nnd means a
fortune for tho holder An nctivo boy like Leonard who has a good following nnd
commands the respect of tho public, can make $50,000 a jcar with llttlo dlfllcultj.
He can command his own price when ho appears In bouts and tho stago will pa
big money to sign him up for a season Then there aro advertising schemes
Which will add to his bankroll, especially now that ho Is tho idol of the fans So
it easily can bo figured that tb,o lightweight crown is worth a pile of money, nnd
If one gots down to real facts It represents vlrtuallv $1,000,000 Plfty thousand a
car Is 6 per cent on $1000,000, and It seems Ktrango that an Income llko that
should be sold for n paltry $5000
Fight critics have doped It out that Leonard allowed Welsh to boat him In
that second match last summer to give him confidence for a third encounter. Per
haps that Is true, but wo cannot bco It that way. It was fortunate, however, that
Welsh won that second battle, for ho had no fear of Monday night's scrap and was
more confident that nt nny other tlmo In joirs.
ANOTHER theory Is that Johnny Kllbano trimmed Welsh Just enough
Xato make him easy pickings for Leonard Johnny gavo Freddy a ter
rible lacing and It might be thnt the former champion had not completely
recovered. At any rnte, ho didn't look llko tho same boxer when he got
Into action. All of which makes us wonder If Kllbano nnd Leonard ever
will get together. What a match thit would make'
Athletics Look Like Champions and Win Two Games in One Day
JIMMY ISAMINGUR walked hurrledlv Into tho ofllco at Shlbo Park jesterday
afternoon, advanced on Connlo Mack nnd opened a verbal broadsldo ns ho
backed tho lengthy manager Into a ncutial corner
"Connie," said Jimmy. "I don't want to bo pcisonal, hut I MUST ask jou an
embarrassing question. How long has It been slnco our ball club won two games
In a single day?"
Mack scratched his head and a faraway look came Into his eyes. His brow
was wrinkled and ho assumed an attltudo of dcop thought
"Now, that's funny," he replied. "I never thought of that. Let mo sec. when
did we win a double-header? It wasn't last jear, nor was It the ear before, and
I am SURG It wasn't this year. I luivo a faint iccollectlon of Rlttlng through a
double v Ictory once upon a time, but I must look through tho musty old records to
And the date and tho year. I believe it was 'vva back In 1914, but It almost had
clipped my mind."
It was, indeed, a strango sight to heo our much-abused Athletics grab that
pair of games from BUI Donovan's expenslvo cast from tho Big City. This does
not mean that thcro was anything fluky about tho matinee Far bo it from that.
Tho Macklets won because they wero tho better team. andchad it turned out nny
other way it would have been da light lobbery Tho 1917 edition of tho A's back
from the western tour looks llko a championship aggregation. The pitching was
good, the batting was lusty and timely and when tho tlmo came to shove somo
runs over the plate they wero shoved with much Joy nnd abandon They plaved
auch good basehall that the result never was In doubt, even when tho enemy as
sumed the lead In the eighth inning f tho second game
"...
QTUFFY McINNIR had a bad day nt tho plate AH ho could do was to
get three singles and a sacrifice in tho first combat and a pair of singles
and a double out of four trips to the rubber In act No. 2 In addition to
that, Jawn plajcd a sensational game in tho field and made somo stops
that brought the crowd to Its feet Stuffy Is hitting into right field this
year and this makes him ono of tho most dangerous hatters In tho league
Wild Bill Is Wild for Another Big League Outfielder
IT MUST bo pretty tough for Leo Magco these dajs Tho Federal Leaguo star,
who was purchased for the small sum of $22,500 the same amount that was
paid for Marty O'Toole Is as much good to the club theso days as Marty over was
to Pittsburgh. The high-priced athlcto Is occupjlng the bench and receives only
$10,000 a J tar for doing It. Lee foil off in his hitting and general play this season
and Bill Donovan decided that ho could get along without him In tho line-up
Elmer Miller was sent out to center, but he, too, fell Into a slump and was asked
to take a rest. Yesterday Slim Caldwell, tho pitcher, played center field, and It
must have been pretty tough on Mogee to stand asldo to mako room for tho sub
stitute. Slim put his club In the lead In the eighth stanza of tho second gamo
when he busted the ball over tho fifth panel of tho right field fence, sending homo
Walters ahead of him. Caldwell also gotta hit In the opening combat,
This shows that Wild William is up against it for guardians of tho outer
garden. The bolls on High's neck, Magee's hitting slump and Gllhooley's busted
chcnilder have put the club on the blink, and something must be done to bolster
4the weak spots. Ivory hunters aro combing the brush for now talent and they
Work day and night.
DONOVAN'S pitchers aro going good and It seems a shamo to allow the
twirling to go to wasto. With a couple of good outfielders to draw upon,
the Yankees would hav e a better chanco to cop tho pennant.
Can't Get Around Friendly Wager, Says New York Judge
' A NEW YORK magistrate has decided that an informal memorandum agreement
"to wager on a horso race does not comprise a violation of tho law of that State
forbidding the wagering on horse races A bettor turned over to another a slip of
paper at the Jamaica track reading: "$400 to $500, Sunrise for place, W. II. Ray "
The transfer was made for the purpose of permitting an arrest for a test case
as to whethey the law was Intended to cover the record of a bet "between friends."
Tho arresting deputies admitted that they had seen no money change hands.
In discharging the arrested note holder Magistrate Kochendorfer said: "The
slip of paper la no more evidence of Illegal betting than would bo a slip of paper
bearing the name of a horse and a number of figures and signed with my Initials."
Corbett Figures Phils Have an Outside Chance
JAMES J CORBETT. one time heavyweight champion, Is out with the state,
ment that the Giants are tho class of the National League and that the Yankees
figure to upset many pennant hopes. James J. might be writing from the stand
point of the New York clement, but he has not neglected to put in a word for the
FhllUw. Corbett figures that the Phils were off to a poor start, but that they have
recovered their 1915 stride and that they are very apt to tntflfo things interesting

BASEBALL BOOMS IN CANADA, BUT
FOOTBALL HAS BEEN KILLED FOR
TIME BEING BY CONFLICT ABROAD
As in Dominion, Professional Sports Will Doubt
less Continue in This Country, With Big Grid
iron Revival When Warfare Is Ended
By GRANT
A FIRST hind view of tho situation Indl
cates that the progress of sport In
Canada through tho course of tho war
should be falrl typical of what the prog
ress of sport or tho condition of sport will
bo In the United Slates Canada Ins ".(ton .
01)0 people and BOO 000 nt tho front
This means onp out of every fourteen bis
responded to the call to arms Tho samo
proportion applied to tho Cnltecl States
would mean the sending of 7.000,000 to tho
front
Cannd.i has lost 85,000 In hilled nnd
wounded This would bo tho tamo as If
tho I'nlted States h id 1 000,000 or moro
In killed or wounded You can flguie from
theso detailed statistics Just what Canada
Ins been through In less than throo years
of war Yet the queer fe iture Is that
whllo certain sports havo suffered badly
others have easllv held their own, and base
ball bus even dono a trifle better than
usual Tho only explanation for baseball's
success given out In Montreal Is that among
those who remained thero was an unusual
craving for what might bo called rccreatlvo
divergence Anything which might nttrait
attention from the war and tho casualty
list for a brief period was received with
welcome
Toolbalt Off
Yet tho war, which failed to hurt baseball
has vlrtuallj ended football And for this
reason Virtually all the good football pla
ers In Canada have gono to tho front
Many of the best have been killed or
wounded There Is very llttlo talent left
for any football that might be of uso for
exhibition purposes There Is no thrill to
como from looking nt a gamo plaed by tho
left-overs
Tho samo thing would hit professional
basoball In tho United States If all the
Cobbs, Speakers Alexanders, Johnsons,
Ruths etc, wero over In France, with a lot
of unknowns left
But In Montreal and Toronto, tho two
main baseball cities of Canada, most of itho
talent is recruited from tho States Vory
few of theso Joined tho Canadian military
forces So there was no sagging In tho
game's general standard Tho Canadian fan
could seo Just ns good baseball through
the war ns before
The Canadians Viewpoint
"If the tlmo comes,' remarked a well
known Canadian sportsman, "when many of
your baseball stars go to tho front, then
.baseball will fall off badly. Or It tha tlmo
LAM) RICK
romes whon vour nowspipeis begin to cut
down heavllj In Fportlng publicity. It will
fall oft rvm more, but ns long as baseball
gets a fair sh ire of publicity and as long
ns thero 1h fair m itorlal left then baseball
will movo along But I believe jou will
find tint foothill imprest will bo almost
entirely destiojed Most or many of your
lending football men will ho taking military
service You will find they havo very llttlo
Intciest left In the gimo 1 doubt very
much If thoso left ran bo made to even prac
tlco much less attempt to play out any
football (.chcdule "
Which is truo enough B iseliall and foot
ball aro wldelj different In their appeals
Baseball baa romp to bn In tlio main n pro
fession Football Is loo per cent sport.
Baseball players left will bo willing enough
to go along with the gamo Tho only foot
hall that may bo seen will bo professional
football, and there Is a big chanco that
profession tl foothill will havo quite a call
this fall It will very likely bo tho leading
fall sport after world (-erics echoes have
faded out This, at least looks to bo the
future situation of sport In the 1 nlted
Slates after tho w ir if tlio United States
.can bo Judged nt all from the Canadian
situation Into which wo have looked for the
last week In order to find out from leading
Canadian sportsmen csiialy how tho situa
tion stood
Their opinion Is that the States will main
tain their profession il sport throughout tho
war, that such will servo a useful purpose,
but that nearly all amateur competitive
sport will fade out until tho shadow of tho
war has drifted awaj

THUtll? Is a great deil of argument
among players as to the Importance of
brassy pla Tbe Idea Is of course tint
slnco tho uso nf rubber-cored balls gives
so much greater distance than was posslblo
In tho days when
gutta perchi ball?
were used the green
can bo reached on
tho second shot with
Iron There Is con
rlderablo truth In
this argument as ap.
piled to first-rlas
plivcrs but I believe
thit the great ma
jority of golfers can
not consistently get
tho necessary dis
tanco to m ilto the
green hi two without
the aid of the urassv
Therefore, 1 person
ally feel that no
golfer can afford to
neglect brassy play
Bvery club In a
(jolfer s bag has a
reason for being there and brassy play
cannot bo Ignored by a pl.ivcr who aspires
to fino golf Moreover thero Is a lot of
satisfaction In n good brassv shot It Ii
ono of tho real pleasures of tho game
The prlnnlp.il illffetence between tho
brassy and tho driver lies In the pitch or
loft of tho face The faco of a driver Is
almost perpendicular whllo tho f.ico of a
brassy sljnts backward This gives the
brassy a tendency to lift the bill much
moro than tan bo dono with a driver. In
