After IiIm RiiestK linit dined with lilm nnil on liitn tlio
noted Untie linprrnnrlo nnnonneed that lie hml lear-cd
MnilNon Square Onrden for n period of ten years, mid
Intended to dtnee boxing shown uml other Indoor nthletlu
vents not only in the Minimer and winter but alxo in
the uprlnR nnd fall.
This news enme n n surprise bcrnnc nobody knew
Anything nbont it until n month ngo. when the ileal wns
llllt ilitniiKh. However. Tex cnied nothing for n IriuV
ljkr flmt nnd made his niitiutiiicomcnt jnt the -nine. In
this he neted like Warren i. Harding, who. after brim;
nominated In Chimp) in .lime, wax verj much MirpiUcd
when officially untitled a month Inter that he wai to be
the Itopubilcnn nominee for the presidency. Delayed
lUrpil'cs nlwujs are ofTcctiic.
i Hut ttlcknrd spilled some Important Information he
fore rctliing for the evening. He said he had remodeled
the interior of the girdcii and Inserted enough i"iN to
take core of 1S.O0O stiectatnrs. This makes it the biggest
Indoor arena In the I'nltid States, and It will be po-lblo
to utace any kind of a championship match he desires.
With nseating eapacllj like that he will be nble to outbid
nil of the other piomoters and virtually will have tho
entire say-so when it comes to ofTeting tinanelal induce
ments to the money -mad champion".
Tex, however, lias stepped out of his usually con
servative role and, instead of doing this all n'one. organ
ised the Madison Square (Siirdui Sporting ("ub. 'villi n
membership of IfiflO. curb member to pay SMO. It i.s a
fort of co-operative ptopocltlon. for the members will
receive $100 bonds which pay (I per cent, and nlt-o a pro
rated share of ."() per cent of the garden's net receipts.
Although llickiinl eiilcrcd n strenuous denial, it looks
M if the new oigaui'.'.atiou would gie the International
Sporting Club a tough tu-sle In New York. It has every
appearance of nn opposition club, inn on different lines.
The members will not be usked to pay all expenses. They
will have to buy tickets the same as ever.ibody elM1.
ttfllEKK are several rcaions jnr the formation of
the cluh," naiil Itickanl, "fit it irhich is to
insure that the ipeetators a! hauls will he men of
high character trho cannot besmirch the game hij
fheir actions. I altraiis have emlcnvortil to con
duct bouts everyichcre free from scandal, and irant
4 to be sure that this venture icill he the same."
' Tex Is "Championship" Promoter
RICKARD stands out all alone in the boing game.
Ho never has put over n tllvver. nnd every bout, with
the exception of one, had n unnulmous winner. In 1110(1
he staged the Xelson-(inns battle at (ioldfield. Nov., nnd
Kelson won on n foul in the forty-second round, A purse
Cf $34,000 was divided on tlint day. Xelson getting
$23,000 Irrespective of the decision.
Four years later Tex again invaded the boxing field
nil put on the JeiTries-.Iohnson match, which was one
of tlio tnost-talked-of nITnirs in pugilism. Hlckanl out
bid the other promoter- with an offer of $101,001), and
drew $27H.77i at the gate. Johnson won in the fifteenth
round nnd was well pnid for his trouble. With the
$10,000 bonus for signing nnd his share of the moving
pictures, the colored man collected Sl'JO.OOO. Jeffries
emerged with $117,000, which was pretty good for forty
five minutes' work.
After this came the Wlllard-Moran affair, which
lasted ten rounds, and the Dempsey-Willnrd contest in
Toledo last year. Hickard has been connected with noth
ing but championship bouts and always gnve value re
ceived. "I have several bouts in prospect," lie snld, "but do
not care to announce them now. The Walker bill bus not
yet gone Into effect nnd will not until (lovernor Hmlth
appoints the boxing nnd licence commissioners. As soon
us tills N dime, and if I receive a license, 1 shall unnounce
my plnns more ful'y."
"How about Dempsey and Carpentler?" he wns asked.
"I'd like to get the match," was the reply, "but Car
pentler now is in France nnd nobody knows If he will
come b.'i' .: again. However, there are other bouts which
should lie an interesting, and 1 will try to laud them.
"I know I have a rival in the International Sporting
Club, but on my pnrt It Is a friendly rlvnlry. Xew York
Is big enough for two huge organizations and the com
petition will insure the best cards for the public. It also
will help the boxing game, and that is my chief Idea."
"Slf'KAItl) cjpects to start something next month,
l provided, of course, the governor appoints his
commissioners.
Causey Had One of His Good Days
CV.rih AMiintXOX CAUSnV is a very peculiar
pitcher. One day lie looks like n champion and the
next like n buslicr. You never can tell what Cecil Alger
non will do when he steps on the mound.
Yesterday he wns In wonderful form and almost
pitched n no-hit game. He held the Cubs to two stingy
singles and made it possible for the l'hll to win by the
scoie of 4 to 1. If lie could pitch like that all of the
time Cravath would not accumulate so many gray hairs
under his lid.
Cause Is n good pitcher when he thinks he is. In
other words, he can kid himself into believing he i.s in
terrible sl.'ipo. hns no contiol and then starts to worry.
On thtiM' occasions he Is wilder than n runaway auto
mobile and they use the hook on him as soon as possible.
If the red -headed athlete could control himself he would
be a gieat pitcher and profit greatly thereby.

Yankees Hit the Skids
TIH New York Yankees have been skidding in the West
nnd today are holding second place in the American
League by tlio slender murgin of one point. They ran
into sipialls in St. Louis nnd Chicago nnd lost six of the
nine games played. A club cannot expect to win the
pennant with n percentage like that. Yesterday they lost
to the White Sox b the score of 10 to ,'t.
Hoosters for the Yanks are getting alarmed and won
dering what will happen next. Huggms's tenm is playing
bad baseball and the pitching nlo is poor. They win
games hy beef nnd brawn, nnd when the hitting falls off
it's time to wash up. They can win niuny 15-to-l'J games,
but when one run is needed the stuff is off.
.Y Till! meantime the Indians arc hrersinp along
with a fivr-game lead and the White Sot die
climbing steadily. Wouldn't it be strange if Chi

SUPPOSE we consider the lntentionnl
pass in baseball In n trifle more de
tail mainly for the renson thnt It Is a
matter which the rules committee of tho
major leagues cannot afford to overlook
before tho season opens.
In football, If the opposing team has
a star halfback, the only way he can
be handled successfully is to mnss two
or throe men against lilm, as Chicago
tried to stop I lest cm nnd Princeton tried
to stop Coy. ,
There is no device In football by
which nn offensive star can be rendered
null and void by any such simple
expedient ns lifting him completely out
of action.
Iu fact, thcro Is no other game where
this can be accomplished except in base
ball. The Folly of It
BUT in baseball a club cither buys or
develops a great hitter, who Is
thereby a big asset to his club.
Ho may be a Cobb, a Speaker or a
Itntli.
Having acquired this star the club li
entitled to get full value. Hlg crowds
come out to sec him deliver his offensive
push, and each time n critical time in
the game arises, with runners on second
and third, or with a runner on second
or third, the crack slugger is gently but
. firmly lilted from the plate nnd do-
t posited at first base on an intentional
ride, thereby being of no value to his
club and of no more interest to the big
crowd than n sack of salt.
His own club doesn't get full value,
and neither does the fan flock which
pays the dally tax.
Wc are not blaming the pitcher,
whose main business is to win the game
under the rules. Wc are blaming the
rules, which permit any such rank un
fairness. Tho Solution

this situation should be met.
Alter curctui consideration ot nn
plnns offered to eradicate the evil, the
following seems the simplest and the
best :
When a batsman, with a runner on
base or runners on the bases, is given
four balls ho shall be entitled to cither
accept or decline the pass. The pitcher
shall then stnrt on n fresh attempt, If
the pass is declined, and if lie again
walks the batsinnn the latter shall be
entitled to take two bases.
Tills rule would settle the entire
argument.
Suppose runners were on second nnd
third, with Huth, Speaker or Sislcr at
bat. The batsman, given four balls,
declines the pass. He is given four
more thnt fail to cross the plate. He
then moves to second base, the man on
second is forced to third nnd the run
ner on third is forced home.
How many intentional passes do you
believe would be given in the fuce of
fiis penalty?
In Which Event
UPPOSE, you may add, the pitcher
isn't trying to hand out nn inten
tional pass, but is making nn ineffectual
attempt to get the ball over?
Any pitcher who hasn't enough con
trol to handle the situation in tun nt.
tempts, if the first pass Is declined, de
serves the. heavier penalty.
The rules committer! of tlm ...-
leagues will cither have to face a change
