GARR Y HERRMANN'S
DAYS AS BASEBALL
DICTA TOR NUMBERED
repudiated by Oivn League
ported by American, Veteran Chairman of National
Commission Soon Will Be Shown the Exit
By ROBERT V. MAXWELL

VplARRT HERRMANN'S tlajs as chairman of the Nation il Commission ate
P numbered. The Cincinnati mtiRnntP. who lias lieen repudiated bv his
pwn Jeague and upheld by the Amerkan, will be officially presented with
the tinware and gently but flrmlv conducted to the outer pate This is
ho real dope on the baseball sltuitlon
ource. In a short time another man
arty, and It Is confidently believed he
flrcult.
Herrmann's position Is a peculiar one Ho has been a National
Leaguer all his life and his presence on the commission iiiturnlly would
place the balance of power In his own league With Johnvon and Hejdler
pg associates, the vote should lie " to 1 on all villi questions However
Garry Is not wanted He got In bad with the American League last summer
when hooted to send Scott Ferrv to the Braves, and the case was taken out
pf the ham's of the commission and phced In the Cleveland courts This
troublo sejfms to have been patched up and h wis restored to good stand
ng In Ore junior circuit
' Now comes the plot of the stor A committee of four -two from
faxh league has been appointed to select a suitable candiiLite W l
Baker, of Philadelphia, and Bill Veeck of Chicago, will take c.ire of the
National's end of It, and Navtn, of Detroit, and Colonel Ruppeit, of New
York, have been selected bj Johnson The league representatives will
work separately and trj to agree on a chilrman It his been claimed
that Ban Johnson holds the whlphard in this case, but such tnaj not be
the case. If the American League Insists on retaining Herrmann and the
National submits the name of a man who has the ability and is big enough
to fill the position what will Johnson do" He c innot hold out for his
candidate, and Ban is vvNe enough to see It for that reason a new chilr
tnan will be agreed upon within the next month
i
Jf.V THE joint meeting of the leagues tt tiai reported that sLr Ac
' tional owners otcd against Herrmann and six American Leaguers

jTESS WILLARD our flghtless champion, should feel proud of himself
Y vhen he reads of Bennj Leonard and his trip to the Pacific coast
While the heavj weight tltleholder is resting his big hulk in a comfortable

Leonard Is defending his title a-ilnst nil comers It is the cliff eience? b-

pork-and beaner. Big Jess Is dragged out todav to Ferve as a honlble
ixample and to compare him with a champion who Is a real fighter and does
iot care who knows it
Since winning that memorable bout from Preddv Welsh Leonard has
not been idle He did not go on the stage or attempt to run a show of
Bis own, but stuck to the boxing gime meeting every one dug up by the
iiatchmakers He did not Insist that his foes be llglitw eights, but stepped
out of his class to box welterweights His battle with Jack Brltton, the
American welter champion, last summer will long be remembered, and If

Hoppe Still Ready to Gil e Cochran Chance
ANOTHER reguhr champion Is Willi Hoppe monaich of all he suivevs
In the Milliard world Willie w is in town list night stopping over be
tween trains He was en route to Rochester, N , where he plavs an
exhibition game with ("ieorge button todav Hoppe his been champion
for many jears and never turned down a rlnllnger In fact, he s-eoks
rather than sidesteps them.
"I have been unnoj ed consider iblv this veir ' aid Hopp. bj the
persistent challenges of Welker Cochrin tor a championship match I am
J'dlllng to pl.ij anv time and anv place If Cochran will post a side bet of
2500 or more winner take all 1 don t think I am dictating In the much
lor I not onlj will put up as much monev as nn challenger, but uKo m
title It is the custom, has been followed for vears, and I can't see whv
It should be changed for Cochran or any one else
. "For example, take the champions In other things Boxing Is bfst
known, and can vou find a parallel cae" Can jou name one man who Is
willing to box a challenger tor the title anil put up his OWN monej for
a side bet It cant be done W'th all due respect to thr titlehnldprs In
the fistic game they are too shrewd business men to take any chances
They will insist on a big guarantee and not even spend tb"e own money
for training expenses If a man wins the championship lie Is forced to
concede verthlng and most of the time gets little for his work The
profit comes later
"When I think of that I feel I have been more than fair with Cochtan
I would like very much to play him but first a substantial side bet should
fee made, and if he is a better man than I he will win some of my mon'y
along with the title This does not refer to Tochran in particular, but
any billiard plajer In the world"
t
HOPPE is fair in his offer, for a rhampmnshxp malt h uttultl mrrtn
the canceling of Us lour anil rut oil his principal tneotnr U'i(r
clears -more than iH.ooo a ytnr on Ms exhibitions, and that SJjd'j
side 6et looks Ue chicken feed
A'o Need for Boxing-Commission Rule Here
nrtHB boxing commission bug has stung some of our well-known legis.
'J- lators again and another bill has been Introduced in Harrlsbur' Senator
YT. E. Crow, of Favette, did the Introducing of the measure which is
similar to the one Governor Brumbaugh refued to sign two jears ago
It la impossible to figure why this State needs a bill to regulate
boxing.. The rlstlc gamo has flourished hero for almost 100 vears, and
never has there been any scandal to amount to anv thing The different
cities handle their own affairs make their own laws .and are getting along
beautifully. There is little, if an. oppoMtion, nnd a boxing bill with a
high-priced commission is unnecessary.
In States where boxing Is regulated by political appointments boxing
eeldom lasts any length of time We all know what happened In New
York oft again on again, off again Ixiok up the history of boxing
throughout the country and ou will find that State laws finally closed
own the game.
J Philadelphia stands out as the greatest boxing city In the world
More champions have boxed here and more people attend the boxing show a
than any other place. Boxing is held fifty-two weeks in the jear, and we
need no State boxing law or commission to tell us what to do.

THE death of Johnny Spatola removes one of the characters of the
