And they're after Pat Moran,
For they want that type of man,
And the echo which they're raising note is stunning

who meets Mike O'Dowd, middle

night, yesterdny received an offer to
battle Johnny Bnsham, the English

The British have seen O'Dowd in

chance of an international welter

nartfleld Here Early
Promoter Leon L. Rains broke In
on Champion Herman long enough to
inform us that Soldier Bartfleld would
arrive at Reddy Wigmore's camp in
the "Neck" the first of next week.
Bartfleld always believes in arriving
early. He would have been here now
only he wants to remain in New York
until after the Britton-O'Dowd affnir.
Benny Leonard, is no easy assign
ment for nny person, and this includes
the big welterweights. Jack Britton
laced Bartfleld at Shlbc Park last sum
mer nnd ou that occasion there was
no rope around the soldier's hands. He
denies that they were tied.
This also .makes it quite apparent
that any person about to enter the ring
with Benny Leonnrd must go in there
prepared. Bartficld respects Leonard's
punching nbility and is taking no
chances. He will be present early.

Gray's desk at Spalding's, nlso at Glmbels's and ditto at the ball park. Do

.From tftet'r ancient cellar beds
Can't you come and put ut back into the running?"
For four decades and longer they have teen the Rcdbirdt fate
They have seen them at the fag end of the annual parade; '
But a certain leader set them once again upon their feet
And no wander battered Europe is now calling with a bleat
For they're after Pat Moran,
On from Moscow to Japan,
And they're paging him from highway into alley,
"O, if you can lift the Reds up,
And make them keep their heads up,
Why can't you come and start ut on a rallyt"
SIX years ago McGraw had to have a pitcher to round out a winning season
He had n young infielder to trade, so he decided to slip the aforesaid infielder
to a ball club that would never be close enough to annoy him. Whereupon he
sent Heinle Groh to Cincinnati in exchange for Art Frommc. ncreuponle
'THIS part of it wa all well enough. But five yeart later McGraw
made the mittake of recommending Pat Moran to follow in the
wake of Oroh. The retult hat been far from pleating.
The Western Clcan-Up
IHB Weat wM make a desperate effort to clean up all seven ways til

The land nearest the Setting Sun has become weary of Eastern cheering
and so 1910 finds her In the midst of her greatest drive.
For world series entries she has Cincinnati, Chicago and Detroit For
the open golf championship she already registers Walter Hagan, now of
Detroit.
For the amateur golf title she has Evans, Gardner and others who have
been the route.
For the lawn tennis championship next week she has Johnston, McLoughlln
nnd a flock of Colifornians, who are well adjacent to the art of sniping a tennis
ball in mid-air.
T
Ilf7ri7 all this talent at her iltpotal, no wonder the arouted West

the rise of the under dog.
The Climax
The saddest words from tongue or pen
"I topped nvy drive and I took a ten."
"Why did McGraw," queries a fan, "ever trade or send Sallee to Cin
cinnati?" We have a faint, ingrowing idea that John J. is probably askJna
himself this selfsame query.
"Last summer," states a contemporary, "neither Sallee nor Clcotta waa
any good." And last summer the Germans were making threatening gestures
In the direction of Paris. In the gap between two summers quite a number
of things may take place that were not originally set down upon the roster.
So It Goes

A long straight iron to the waiting pin
An iron that clears all traps and rvtt

It's an 'unlling game, at George Lose told,
You twitt your hip or you lift your head;
