jiS'T h t i 14: " EVElNING LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, FBIPAY, JUNE 22, ltflfr . TOE COLLEGE MAN IN PROFESSIONAL BALL IS VINDICATED-ALL ARE HIGHBROWS NOW BASEBALL AS SPORT AND BUSINESS MIGHtf GO WITH ENFORCEMENT OF RULE PERMITTING GENERAL DRAFT Parks Might Close With Loss of Large Invest ' ments Built Up President's View of SJports Offers Other Food for Speculation v 1 SpME Interesting angles of speculation nro presented as a result of the news announcement from Washington to the effect that ball players are not to be 1 exempted from the workings of tho selective draft law. Chief among these me: ( What will the effect be In the light of President Wilson's recent announcement about the desirability of the continuation of sports during the war? What will ' become of the tremendous investments that have grown up In baseball ptopertles I all over the country? And why Is a ball player a highbrow, the same ns an artist, I an actor or an author? The President's recent pronouncement seemed to Indlcato that the experience i the war, based upon tried conditions, was strong for tho favoring of n continu ' ance of all sports possible, the Impression being left that the plan was not only In ( keeping with the spirit of war In encouraging vigorous sports, but to servo the I masses of tho people with pleasing nnd healthful recreation during tho cxrltcmcnt Of wartimes. This Impression may have been duo to a somewhat liberal construc tion of tho exact .text of the President's deliverance, but It appears to have been the one generally accepted. In any event, a general drafting of ball players would virtually break up the delicate organism of organized ball and would likely cloe up the parks In no time. r.' There are millions of dollars Invested In the two big leagues alone In ball proper ties, and the closing of park gates would seriously affect and possibly wipe out ' tremendous Investments that have taken years of labor and largo amounts of money to develop. The classification of ball players with, artists, actors und authors certainty , applies when the matter of furnishing public amusement only Is considered. There Is In the minds of many, howccr, an Idea that tho ball playcV serves n larger public purl 'se, at least In wartimes, than do the other classes of entertainers or edlflers mentioned, "1EJVTAINLY baseball breathes a fighting spirit consonant with the war '-' zest and military urge: it diverts the American mind bh does nothing else and It healthfully entices the populace Into tho n. And somo there are who would like to be enlightened as to the real reanlng of the Presi dent's late sports-message, if It does not lncludo In Its purview the great national game as a sport. Lucky Break When Phils Got Schulte r? WAS a lucky break for the Phils when they grabbed Frank Schulte from t Pittsburgh -at the waiver price of $1500. Tho dual was put through with little ' difficulty and one of tho greatest players In tho game was transferred at a bar gain price. Two years ago President Baker and Pat Mornn made an attempt to I get Schulte from the Cubs, but Joo Tinker, who then was manager, laughed at I the offer. Last winter It was rumored that Moran and Callahan, who are fellow citizens of Fltchburg, Mass.. framed up a deal to send Schulte to Philadelphia, I but this wasSjtrenuously denied at the meeting In New York. Callahan then aid that he would keep the outfielder becaunr he believed that ho would htrengthen ' the team. Therefore It was quite a surprise when the announcement camo that ' Callahan asl:cd waivers on a player he refused to sell for a large sum of money I Just a few months ago. Perhaps It was because of the accident a month ago, when , Gchulte received a broken rltt while scu'ming with some of the Pittsburgh players In a Cincinnati hotel, or It might ha,ve been due to a falling out with his manager. Schulte still Is a good ball player, but In the last two years ho has not been able to do himself Justice. In 1915 ho had a fairly good year with tho Cubs, but at the beginning of last season he did not seem to nt In with the ox-Federal League tars on Tinker's payroll. He was unhappy and was anxious to make a change. He virtually asked to be shifted to the Phillies, because. Moran's players are the most popular In the league, but the Cub boss traded him to Pittsburgh for a ' couple of players and some cash. Frank did not relish playing on the tall-end 1 club from Smoketown, and now that he Is with a regular team his work will Improve. PAT MORAN is elated over the deal and President .Baker's face Is wreathed with smiles. A difficult problem has been solved that of getting a man who can hit in the pinches. Schulte not only can do that, but also can sub for the regular! In case of accident. Before the seafeon Is over Callahan will be soiry ho let him go. Jack Coombs Will Be Absent Guest of Honor at Colby Today THIS Is Coombs Day at Colby College, in Watervllle, Me. Jack was graduated in 1906, and since that time has brought fame to his alma mater through his work on tho ball field. Tho college now Is known all over the country nnd the i alumni realize that Coombs had quite a little to do with It. A baseball game wlU be played and all of the old-timers will be on hand to nsslst. Jack will not bo in the line-up, as his presence Is needed here with the slipping Dodgers. Ho has ' sent his regrets, but the celebration will be held any way. They think pretty well of Coombs up In Maine, nnd many remember the first day he appeared for practice on tho diamond. It was In the spring of 1902, before ,, the noted moundsman matriculated a Colby. He was a senior at Cpburn Classical School, a prep school In Watervllle. Ho had mado quite a name for himself on the football field and decided to branch out. Leon K- Saunders was captain of tho Colby nine that spring and assisted In the coaching at the prep school. He was hitting grounders to the Inlleld when n. tall, gawky figure ambled toward him. It was the first time Saunders had seen Coombs. "I want to try for the team," mumbled Jack. "What do you play and what experience have you had?" demanded the coach. "Never played before, but I'm big enough to play first base," replied the rookie. "Can't use you at first," said Saunders, "because wo have a first baseman, and be happens to be the captain. Get on third and I'll look you over." Jack went to the bag In the far corner of the diamond and ncted like a Dutch ' brewer standing In front of a soda fountain. A grounder was knocked toward him I and he went after It like a one-legged man trying to beat Ted Meredith. He fum- I bled the ball kicked It, fell on It and everything else, and when he picked It up ne turned and whipped It to first base. TT WAS the greatest throw I ever saw," said Saunders, who toW us - the story recently. "The ball Just zipped across the diamond and went as straight as a bullet. Right then I saw that a bum third baseman was about to become a good pitcher, and before the end of tho season ho was the best In Maine. He learned rapidly and soon had tho opposing batters striking out from the dugout." Leonard-Kilbanc Match for Philadelphia A'ppears Off JAMES F. DOUGHERTY Is a peeved person these days. He has failed to stage the greatest boxing bout of the year Leonard and Kllbane In Philadelphia, and is saa anu morose us ne wanaers over ms cbuuu in i.viicj vine, ivuuuno wu willing to box, but it has been Impossible to get Leonard's name to a contract. And until Benny signs the htufT Is off. "I have worked hard to land this match," said Dougherty, "and I find that Leonard Is not anxious to get Into the same ring with the featherweight champion. I offered a purse of $15,000, which Is tho most that ever has been offered for a ix-round bout In the history of boxing. Then I was ready to raise It to $20,000, bulimy representatives in New York could not get Gibson to even listen. I made the offer in good faith, had the money to post before the bout and there was no bluffing on my part. I believe the people of Philadelphia would turn out to see a high-class bout like that and I was willing to take a clvancei Now that the match apparently tiaa fallen through f want to say tnat Kllbane was willing to box Leonard at 133' ringside, whloh Is the legal lightweight limit, and when Benny held off he raised the weight to 135 ringside. I hate to say It. but It looks to me as If Leonard was afraid of Kllbane, although he would have at least nine pounds on him If they met. It's pretty bad when a man steps out of his class to meet another and the heavier man refuses to box." IN JUSTICE to Gibson and Leonard, however, let It be said that they are considering the match in New York. A promoter hai offered the equivalent of $40,000 for the match, and In boxing as well as any other line ot business money comes first.

SCRAPS ABOUT SCRAPPERS By LOUIS II. JAFFE ALONG, loud, lurid howl that has reached this city from New York Is the wall of Jim Coffey, Irishman, giant and henvy udirht boxer, about the way the pushers of .. ..nnll l.nt'A V,nn tcn-itlnc- tlfo ROMCOm! nuV Son since he was outroughed by Cailos Morris In a Gotham ring sivcral weeks ago. When writing about tho heavyweight situ ation Coffey says he doesn't understand why his name Is conspicuous by Its ab sence: ho can't reason why the name' of Jim Coffey is eliminated from the eligible challengers for Jess Wlllard's scalp. Here's tho wall from the lips of Shamus himself: "I've beaten Morris twice, and my name Is never mentioned in connection with Wll lard's. Of course, tho knockers will ay that Frank Moran beat me twice and that that settles me. Hut they don't know what they are talking about Moran's tw wins over me were downright flukes. In our llrst fight, after he picked up that h.imnv r from the floor and hit me with It, I got up and was leaning on the ropes, thinking how sweetly the thrushes were warbling In Roscommon, when the referee stopped the light. That wasn't fair, for the referee should have given me time to think. The tame thlpg happened in the second flght. after I had been pasting Moran all around the ring. It wasn't right. 1 say. In my fights with Morris I think I won both times yet they say I'm a good motorman and talk about matching him with Will.ird Can you heat that?" THIS la what Coffey told Bat Master- ' son, veteran New York writer, and Bat appears to agree that Jim ought to have his chance along, with Morris and the rest. FHED FULTON'S unexpected knockout over Sam Langford. although technical, and even though the Boston Tar Baby no doubt vvnsn't the Langford of old, places the Ferocious One up among the gang anxious to taki away Jesse's crown.

On the contrary, It has Just begun. To make responsible baseball reporters tho goats of the occasion may seem an easy way out, but It will hardly be as easy as It seems, Hvery one connected with the signed statement repudiating recent Interviews wherein McGraw gave his opinion of Presi dent Tener this includes McGraw, Tener and every Nntlonal League club owner knows that the manager of the New York club was correctly quoted as to all main Issuer. Tho attempt to throw the scandal back upon the newspapers will hardly stand. One example will suffice. Sid Mercer, of the Glebe, was among the "repudiated set." Mercer Is not only a very excellent base ball writer, but is also one of the most careful and conscientious reporters in the game. His carefulness In this case was shown by the fact that after writing the Interview he Milimltted It to McGraw for any revision I To say that these Interviews were fakes and "scurrilous fabrications" is an Insult to any degree of Intelligence There Isn't a baseball fan In. New York who doesn't believe that Sid Mercer. Sam Crane and others present handled the Inter view Just ns It was given. McGraw. knowing Ihese Interviews were nuthentlc, could very easily have settled the matter by confessing that he lost his 'tem per and In the heat of anger said things which ho should not have said. This with a retraction and an apology, would havo been sufficient. Another Angle There Is still this side to consider: Be fore this lepudlatlon of McGraw's was ac cepted and given out, why couldn't National League club owners have secured testimony from the newspaper writers Involved? They knew the denial was a joke an that Innocent parties were being slandered If they had desired to get at tho real truth of what happened nnd what was sala, the way was easy enough. The original Interviews had been pub lished for a week. If they were falte, why were they not denied at once? It is almost impossible to understand how McGraw, in view of hla past record, could do such a thing There may he several parties who con sider the Incident closed, but we doubt very much if the baseball reporters In volved are to be listed In this lot It Is up to every newspaper that printed one of the repudiated Interviews to prove who told Economize By Wearing Cool, Slvlish Oxfords During Hot LJEREisthe pick of Summer 1 footwear themostpopu lar styles seen on the street, at Summer Resorts, Outings, Sea Shores and Clubs.
