Manv major and former major league
baseball players, In view of the work-or-flght
order, are anxiously seeking posi
tions along the Delaware Itlver In the
arlous shipyards. This was learned at
a meeting of that league last evening.
If all the players and major leaguers,
too, were hired that have sought berths
another whole league could at least get
a fairly good start.
One manager told of six players of a
certain club lately In the city who were
only too anxious to land in the shipyard,
but there really was no place vacant at
tho time. Another manager can get nine
major league players and all from one
club If the work-or-flght rule is rigidly
enforced
Saturdja's Game Atlracls
Tho contest to bo played at Upland
on Saturday Is the talk of baseball cir
cles at present. The league has stringent
rules In regard to eligibility of players,
but they have not been rigidly adhered
to, and when Hog Island faces Chester
at Upland on Saturday a great array
of talent will be on hand. For Hog
Island it must be said tnat -iianager
Johnny C'astl will stick to only eligible
men and while "Hans" Lobert, former
third baseman of the PhllUe, will be
in uniform he will not get Into action.
Ibert was also at Bristol on Saturday,
but was not used. The hurling selec
tion for Hog Island will be Chief Bender
or Lddle Gerner, most likely tho latter.
Frank Sillier, manager of Chester, has
seeral crippled men on his list, includ
ing Pitcher Iarl Twining, but ho lias
hustled around and filled up the gap.
He has an all-star Infield In Williams, lb :
Carruthers, 2b; Joseph. 3b, and Dald

Miller also announces that ne will
pitch Watson, of the Athletics, and that
Forrest Cadv. formerly of the A's, will
cover right field. Of course, Cady is a
catcher, but Chester Is well taken care
of in the backstop line with Mark.
Merchants Get Busy

things up at Bristol, and from now on

ONE of tho most Interesting golfers
In Philadelphia Is Lieutenant Frank
Sutton who plays most of his golf at the
Pine Valley Golf Club. Lieutenant Sut
ton lost his right arm nt Oalllpoll and
thereby hangs an Interesting story.
During that campaign that cot the
Hrltlsh so many lives there was a hand
tossing grpnnile contest between the
Turks and tho British These grenades
have time fuses and time after time tho
Turks would hurl the grenades only to
have Lieutenant Button and the men In
his company catch them and hurl them
back where they did terrific damage to
the Turks. Finally one Turk .caught on.
fo he counted four before he hurled his
grenade and the lieutenant missed It.
Lot Ilaml Saving His Men
Realizing that any nument It would
explode and kill a number of men near
by he pushed it or tried to push It
into the ground with his right arm. A
moment later ho knew he was out of
the trench, hut he had no Idea his right
got out,. He saw a Turk coming and
reached for his revolver with his right
hand and only then was he aware
that he no longer had a right hand
But that did not stop him and with his
left hand he killed his Turk. And he
fought on till dusk and when they got
him back to the hospital they had no
anchthetics, so three men sat on him
while they removed what was left of
his right arm below the elbow.
He Is a big, handsome chap and ex
tremely popular.' He Is an expert on
ordnance and he has Beveral patents on
large and small guns that are being
used by the Allied forces. And what Is
more, he Is anxious to get back Into
action against the Huns.

Xi commenting on the coming six-round
battle between Eddie O'Keefe, Jack
Welnsteln's champion, ajid Gus Lewis,
under the management of Johnny Burns,
which will be held In the open-air arena
of the Cambria A. C, Frankford avenue
and Cambria street, on Friday night.
This contest will mark the second
meeting of the pair of contenders for
jonnny mioanes leamerweigni crown.
In their first tilt about three years ago
O'Keefe, then at the height of his career.
stopped Lewis, who was then a very
promising bantam. In the third round of
a scheduled six-round slugfest.
After the fight nothing more was
thought of It until a few months ago,
when Johnny Burns, on behalf of Lewis,
decided to put In a claim for the feather
weight championship.
And then the fun began ! O'Keefe and
tho silent, close-mouthed Jack Wein
stein stepped forward and loudly de
manded that Lenis should wipe out that
K, O. blot from his record or shut up.
After some very hot debates pro and
con the rival managers got together and
arranged the match. Lewis Is tralnng
with eeeral of his sparring partners on
the grounds of the Cambria arena, while
O'Keefe does his exercising in the early
morning and at sundown. During the
day he works at Hfg Island.
"O'Keefe will show the many fight
critics that they are all wrong when
they claim that Eddie Is all In," said
Welnstein, "and he will demonstrate
before the spectators that he still pos
sesses a sleep-producing wallop and he
will try It at the expense of Lewis.
After the fight O'Keefe will go after
Benny Valgar In the hopes that they
will fight either In this city or In Jersey.
Watch out for my boy, arid I am truly
confident that he will repeat that un
disputed victory he won from Johnny
Burns's protege."

crown for more than a year, and his
success of the last pcason, when ho bo
successfully repulsed nil of tho lending
lightweights, has given him tho neces
sary confidence. Thero Is no denying
he Is on the trail of Benny Leonard.
More than ono aspirant has engaged
tho Cotham celebrity, but not with nny
degree of success.
Tcndler has come forth with a chal
lenge. Ho is' ready nnd willing to en
tertain Leonard. But thero Is ono con
dition, and that Is very Important
Leonard must make tho lightweight
.limit of 133 pounds ringside before the
bout Is on. Yesterday Tendler, through
his adviser, manager and pilot, Thil
Glassman, stated ho would post any
sum up to JBOOO fo get Leonard's sig
nature to tho articles which would bring
them together.
Turned Down Match
When Leonard had waded through all
the lightweight talent and almost had
cleaned up his division he then was
forced to start a search for available
talent that would dwraw. This was less
than six menths ago. The promoters
tried to get Tendler and Leonard to
gether, but to all their offers Glassman
merely said. "No, nothing doing; nt
least at present." Ho was not sure of
his boy.
Since then, however, Tcndler has bat
tered the opposition Into submission,
piling up victories over Johnny Dundee,
Franklo Callahan, Irish Patsy Cltne.
Willie Jackson, Vincent Pokornl. Rocky
Kansas, Tommy Touhey, Pete Hartley,
Phil Bloom, Jack Busso. Terry Brooks
and other lesser lights. These boys are
the class of the lightweight field and

champion.
Tendler's work against them stamps
class all over the former newsboy
leader. And In every one of his en
gagements he has been forced to con
cede weight, ns ho Is one of the few
legitimate lightweights. Ills fighting
poundage Is 128,
Lauded by Callahan
Probably one of the greatest tributes
to Tendler's fighting qualities was paid"
by Frankle Callahan at the end of. his
eight-round session with Lew at Atlan
tic City last Saturday nighty
"I have fought Tendler twice, and let
me say ho is the toughest man I eer
met," said Callahan. I battled Leonard
once, but he never gave me a harder
fight than this kid. In fact, I found him
a much-Improved boy over the one who
battled me In Philadelphia last spring.
Do you know, I would sooner fight Leon
ard than that awkward kid?"
Phil Glassman, Tendler's manager,
was nearby when he heard Callahan's
remark. Glassman later admitted that
he was still unwilling to believe that
Tendler was capable of holding his own
with Leonard, but after his showing In
tho second go with Callahan ho was
more than satisfied Tendler could make
It interesting.
Now that Tendler has convinced him
he has the class Glassman Is willing to
back him to the limit. And Phil makes
It clear that Leonard Is not barred.
Benny can have the match any time If
he will only make 133 pounds ringside,
and to prove that the challengo Is sin
cere Glarsman Is ready to post any rea
sonable forfeit.
"If Leonard Is a real lightweight, let
him give this challenge some considera
tion," said Glassman yesterday. "Tend
ler is ono of the few legitimate light
weight contenders. He never scaled more
than 128 pounds in his life. .Now that
Leonard is taking on the welterweights
let him come out and declare himself
lightweight or welterweight I If ho is
still a lightweight let him give Tendler
a little attention. Lew has beaten all
the other lightweights and now Is ready
for the big game."
Clino Is the one obstruction In Tend
ler's lightweight path. Irish Patsy
must bo beaten decisively to make Lew's
title claim carry nny weight. These boys
come together for the Beqond time In
the wlnd-up at the all-star show to be
staged at Shibe Park next Tuesday
night. Lew has much to gain by a
clean-cut triumph. Franklo Callahan
will meet In the
second bout, whllo the first on the pro
gram will present Harry Greb and Sol
dlcr Bartfleld, slugging mlddlcwelghts.
Duma Boots Lewis
Johnny Burns walked Into headquar
ters yesterday to tell us a few good
things nbout Gus Lewis. As wo have
seen Gus In most of his bouts, tho In
formation Imparted" was not required.
Johnny Is nnxlous to have his protege
dispose of Eddlo O'Keefe In tho big
meeting at tho Cambria open-air show
Friday night, for ho sees bigger gams ,
for his boy.
Johnny has his eyo on Jersey City.
Franklo, Burns has a big following In
the Jersey town, as was shown when
Herman and Burns clashed. If Lewis
trounces OUeefe, then Manager Burns
plans to try to arrange a match be
tween Franklo Burns, and Lewis, with
Jersey City as the scene of battle.
Jack Welnstein, O'Keefe's pilot, Insists
that Eddlo will block Gus's plans. Jack
has Eddie working hand, even burning
up the roads In South Philadelphia, In
preparation for the encounter. - '
"Eddie Is a great gymnasium worker,"
said Manager Welnstein yesterday, "but
there Is one thing he needs road work.
I knew the moment he donned running
togs and took the fight seriously that
he would make It warm for Lewis."
