After nine years of steady, consistent service. Manager Cravath plann to yank Fred lanterns from the Philadelphia line-up and uc (!ene I'aulcttc, recently ai quired from the 8t. Iotils Cardinals. One Is n Rood first baseman. There is no doubt bout that. He Is ine of the best in the league, and no doubt his presence will add strength to the rlub. Hut no matter how (rood he Is or how hard lie can hit, he never will be nble to equal the record made by the vett ran he replaces It Is with n pang of regret that we note the passing of the noted slugger He never was brilliant, but eerj ela was on the job. giving the best he had and never uttering one word of i omplaint. lie was nnd still is a good first baseman. Kvcry chance looked the snme to him and he made difficult plays look like ordinary chances. Few bills got In him and the Infielders did not have to worry about their throws. High or low or wide. I.udv was there to take them, and n glance over his fielding record for nine ycirs shows the kind if a game he played. He alvvnjs was close to the top. A ball club is luckv to hae a stead, reliable plajer like I.uderus on the payroll. He never broke training, kept himself in condition anil wis out there delivering day after day. At present he Is the "Iron man" of baseball. He has played In 400 consecutive games, and had he appeared in the hoi score nineteen more times be would have broken the record of 47S gaum made by Eddie Collins. It would be a shame to deprive I.uih of a chance to hang up a new mark, and we hope he will be given nn opportunitj to come through. Manager Cravath is a great friend of the vitenin first baseman and savs he will use I.udy in every game in some capacity or otlu r. lie is a good pinch hitter and a valuable man in that capacity. He icrtiinl can slam that ball. F WD Phils.

I nppiectnte the irork he has done and leant to say he can liny with the Philadelphia rlub ai long as he likes. In fact, I trill sign him to a l'.UO contract today if he asks it." Philadelphia Is BasebalVs Trade Center " TMHIjADnU'IIIA Is getting famous 1 t David Harutns are working overtime nnd many star plajers have been turned loose by the local magnates, Connie Mack wrecked his wonderful machine, l disposing of Mclnnls, Harry, Collins, linker, Ktrunk, Hush, Si hang, Hender, ( Plank, Coombs nnd I'ddie Murphy, and Haker traded Sherwood Magee, II Charley Dooln, Hans Lobert, Hill Klllefcr nnd Alexander. These were trades H of the past and these stars made good In foreign clinics. It seems ns if the ii! best recommendation a bnll plajer can have Is a release from Philadelphia. 1 This year business has been brisk and active. The Phils started the ball n rolling by disposing of Milton Stock, Pickles DllhoefTcr nnd Davis to St. I.ouls in for Doug Hfttrd and G'cne Packard. Connie Mack then stepped to the front III with a deal of his own, sending I.arrj (Snrilner, .linimv J.imieson and Klmer Myers to Cleveland In exchnnge fur Hobbj Iloth and Fred Thomas. Kinni-j was shipped here b- the lied Sox in finnl pajment for Mrlnnis and Tom Ilodgers was purchased at the waiver price from the St. I.ouls Ilrowns. Snooks Dowel, the Lehigh I'niverslty quarterlnck last jear, was lifted from Detroit mi and Hoy Orover was used to lure Pitcher Thompson from Washington. 1", Then came a big surprise. Connie decided to dispose of llobb.v Hotli. one in of the be..t-hitting outfielders in the league, hi cause he did not fit in with his in style of play. Connie has his own .Ideas of what a bill plaver should be. and 11 rather than try to reform Until the star was used in a trade. He nnd lied !ils Shannon wire shunted to llostoti for Amos Strunk and Jack Harry, formir 11' members of the clan. Harrj has not reported jet and it is doubtful if he will. 11 His absence placed Mack in a hole, for he was forced to use Witt on second base, thus ruining a good outfielder. That fori eel Connie to sign the veteran Terry Turner, who recently was given his unconditional release bj Cleveland. Terry still has some good baseball left in his systim and will be a good man for a couple of seasons. He will break into the line-up tomorrow. The recent trade put over by the Phils is onlj one of many which are to come. Ciavvy Cravath will stop at nothing to strengthen his ball club ami has been given a free hand by President linker, (iuvvy is a shrewd business Ban and has his own ideas about the game and will be supported by his boss. n.il'l,HTTE and Mendoirs are highly elated over the transaction tehich sent them here and arc on the job. Paulette h a youngei man than I.udy and icill be aiailable for several years. Meadoirs looks like a good pitcher, but he irill have to prove it. The signinq of Waller Tragessor yesterday irill add strength to the catching staff. Cravath needs another good receiier. Outdoor Shows Have Hoodooed Clianey GEOItGE CHANET, the once famous knockout king from Haltimore, has done his bit. In less than six weeks he made It possible for tw-o btttlers J" to gain additional fame and then announced his retirement. Lew Teudler stopped him in the first round and received more publicity than in nil of his other matches. Joe Tiplltz stopped Mm on Mondaj night and was lifted into the ranks of the wind-up performers. J Chaney has been hoodooed by outdoor shows. He was knocked out three times, the first at the hands of Johnny Kilbane at Cedar Point, O., in n bout for the featherweight championship of the world. J It's hard for a boxer to come back after taking the final count. One year ago Tiplitz never would have had a chance to win. He would have been afraid "" of that deadly swishing left and fought a defensive bnttle. However, after aeeing Tendler put him on his back. Tiplltz went In with all of the confidence . In the world. He actually carried the fight to Chancj. kept sticking his left hand in his face and was leading bj a big margin at the end of the second session. J The Idea was that Joe did not fear the Hnltimorean. He believed he 1 could put over n K. O. and did not stop until he did. At that, Tiplitz was t lucky, but that should not dim the credit he has received. He was all but out J took one final desperate chance and got awaj with It. flPLIT'A proved something lehkh should be lemembered. Theie afu-ajM i'j a chance to make good, no matter hoic rough the noma becomes. While there is life there is hope, and it is only the quitter tcho trails the procession. Tiplitz is no quitter. Lcvinshy Qualifies TOE SLAVIN", the sage of Port Ilichmond, had a few words to spout about ilU the Levlnsky-Oreb affair, which was labeled a boxing bout on Monday. "A mistake was made bj Phil Olassman," snys Joe. "Instead of putting Iivinsky into a ring surrounded by ropes he should be allowed to fight on the r baseball diamond. That would give the Hnttler a chance to run around the J bases and equal the retord made bj Tj Cobb. I.evinsky is one of the fastest runners I ever have seen and would do well on the base puths. His backward ' glide would make any one turn green with envy." ai I,evlnsky Is a defensive fighter.

RV i -Y n n st IN THE SPOItTLIGIIT nY C.ItANTLANI) RICK Copyright 1010. All rights reserved WILL Great Britain ever horn In again at nny soon date upon the hcary w eight championship of the world? There Is at least one bet you enn cash in this direction, viz., Great Britain will launch the effort of her enrcer to turn this particular trick nnd resumi where she left off over forty years ago. The Long Span TTinOM the heavyweight reign of I'igg, back around 1710, Great Britain ruled the ring ns well ns the wnves. She maintained this supremncy, in the Mace, who ndorned the crest from 1801 through 187.1. In 18S2 John L. Sullivan, by whipping Paddy Iljan, began crowding h'is wnv toward the top. When John L. won from Charley Mitchell nnd Herbert Blade in 188.1 he had practically nrrlvrd. When he upset Jake Kllraln In 1880 there was no further doubt about his kingship, although Mitchell the year before hnd held him to a draw. Sullivan stopped Knglnnd's heavyweight glory and lifted the United States of America to the crest. And since Sullivan reached the top no Briton in the last forty years has been able to regain the lost laurels of the older regime. Certainly the last eight champions have been Americans. J.Y THP, last twenty-five years O. Ii. has made one or two futile ef- forts to regain her old ling glory through such entries as liombadier Wells, but with poor effect. The Neto Stand DHSPITK her terrific losses in the wnr nnd the destruction of her man power, Lngllsh sportsmen nnd promoters have a campaign under way U develop some mnn who can bent Jack Dempsey and re-establish the old regime, Thej believed at first the bad the right, man in Goddard, a rough-and-tumble giant of the Jeffries tjpe. Hut when Jim Hecket overthrew Goddard the former naturally assumed the lead and will ver likely be Dcmpsey's first International opponent. f Bechct vs. DKMPSl w eiglu I'MPSHY weighed 187 pounds when lied 17.1 pounds when he ciushed Goddard. Dempsey beat a man lifty-six pounds heavier than he was In three rounds. Hecket needed but two rounds to bent a man who outweighed him by fort -one pounds. Both Dempsey and Hecket are slightly over six feet, so there is no wida" I gnp in phjslcnl build between the two. Hnmbndier Wells might have been composed almost cntircl of glass or some other substance equally brittle. m m JJK HAD the weight, the speed, the skill and the punching power. ma HV saw him rfion .11 I'alzcr one night ieith a single punch where Palzcr toppled as if n bnttlcat had landed on his dome. But the liom badier was entiiely too brittle to last, Becket s Chance NO-MHMnnn of the American fistic colon will give Hecket a chance to beat a mnn like Dempse.v. The elastic elope doesn't give the Englishman nny gient chance, but the elastic dope has been known to crack before. Hecket is reported to be something of the same type that Dempsey is, one having been a gips.v and the other n tramp. In case some new arrival doesn't come nlong nnd tear Mr. Becket's dome nwnv he may soon be lifted into a formidable contender, especially In view pf the fact thnt no one around these parts now carries nny chance against the new tltlcholder. Britain's Dream IT IS ens enough to see that Britain is nursing a silver-tinted dream in this regard nnd that she will make every possible plan to carry the dream along. If Hecket doesn't turn the trick she will set others under way. The odds are All agiinst her. Hut for that matter, who evep'figiired that within one jear she would invnde this country and carry back the polo and lawn tennis crowns which our I'nclc Sam had gathered some ears before to defend with case?
