M, 16 WHEN DANNY KRAMER GA FORMA TION OFNA TIONAL BOD YFOR PURPOSE TO UPLIFT BOXING GAME WILL BE A TTEMPTED NEXT MONTH Tnn formation of a national governing bortj to direct the conduct of the boring same throughout the United Stnte will bo nttcmpteil in New York next month, when roprnrntntlvfi of eiishfen states whero boxing Is per mlttcd under law and delegates from other centers where the sport ! conducted under local option will meet in a three days' sotnion. The idea is to draw up a new code which will be Trctivp in eerj Mate where boxing bouts nre held . in other words, to standardize the rules. 1'lans will be dis cussed to elevate the professional ring Rport to a plane never before experienced in thl.s country. Kvlls which have corrupted the sport in the past will be aired and a concerted effort made to eliminate them. Everything will r? done to give the public clean, honest, wholesome, up-and-up boxing. According to preent plans, holders of championship titles will be compelled to defend their laurels at stated Intervals to be tixod at the coming meeting. Failure to abide bj this rule will result in the forfeiture of the title. An effort ulso will be made to abolish the inflated purses which appear to he quite popular now, and alM establish a wale of admission prices to be operative ull over the country which, in the opinion of the governing officials, is ""R'onable. Taking moing pictures at boxing bouts also will be done away with, according to the plan. The most Important ruling, if the new body is to be x.icn seriously, is to cut down the size of the purses given t . boxers. Nobody objects to an nthlete getting as much nunc as possible, but when he demands exorbitant fees iinJ refuses to appear unless his terms nre met. then It la t.me to take action, ltoxers now arc getting more money than tli ever dreamed of Ordinary fighters, who never 'i ive hid championship claims or never will, are making roin S'A'.OflO a year up. rtars have incomes totaling sis figures. The public pujs for this and gets little for its money. Here is an example. Benny Leonard meets Ritchie Mitchell in New York next month. It is a championship 'mttlc but Benny should worry. He knocked out Mitchell n Milwaukee in seven roundu n couple of years ago. At hat time Benny was not drawing down big money. A ''urse of MOOO for nn ordinary battle was tops. Now, m n return match against what virtually is a set-up, he is to receive $40,000 From now on the chances are that Benny will not cousider matches unlcsa the ante is big. rIS the same trilk the others. Top-notchcrs like Dundee. Jaetsion, Trndler, Welling, Jack Sharkey and many others demand fortunet irhrn they step into te ring against a fairly tough oppo nent. They even leant a couple of thousand dollars to battle a bimho. Let's hope this condition icill be hanged. Should Box on Percentage Basis IN THE ofden dajs the boxers were glad to get work, and when matches were arranged they fought for a percentage of the receipts. This, should be done now. The promoters are forced to put on mediocre shows be raue they cinnot meet the demands of the pugilistic starn. When it was Announced that Jack DcmpBcy wan to get SCOO.000 and Carpentier $-'00,000 for a championship lmt in New York some time next summer there was such a howl from the public and the presa that the chances are the pair never will meet in Gotham. The purse Is out of .iroportion and entirely too big. Enough ib enough, but that's more than that. Therefore this new governing body has a chance to -tpp out at the start and restore boxing to a safe and '.".ne bnsis. The idea of u boxer getting as much money in one fight as the President of the United States gets la 'nil term of four jears is all wrong. Whut's the use of living President? The delegates have been appointed by the governors of their respective states, which means they will volcu the sentiments of their chief executive. William II.

HOVE f' m minded vine Rookies Farmed Out During Winter TIMES have changed especially in baseball. Once upon a time the ball clubs would journey southward with a couple of carloads of recruits and the "morning glories" would explode after the first week. Then they would be shipped northward to wait until o Job was found for them in the minors. Now it is different. The baseball magnates have dis covered thnt it costs a lot of kale to experiment with the green material, and therefore cut the experimenting out as much as possible. Instead of waiting to see the rookies go tlooie down South, they have adopted n plan of farming thm out to minor league clubs during the winter. Yesterday the New York Ulauts released n whole flock of players. Some went back to the alfalfa, while others were shown the exit sign. Players who were purchased for huge sums were sent away without a trial, McGraw figuring It would be-better business to let some one else give the boys the once over. Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit In fact, all of the clubs that signed many new plaers last full al ready nre disposing of them. The Phils are not in that class, they will hang on to their two new plajcrs. fHK wholesale buying of players in the fall teemi to be all bunk. Much publicity is received at the start and the magnates pointed out as real guys, but before any money changes hands the waiver arc tcaving fluently. Burrus Couldn't Think Fast THE passing of Dick Burrus from the, Athletics was expected. Connie Mack predicted wonders' for this youth, but when he stepped into the fast set there waa something lacking. He could hit fairly well, field his position, but when it came to brain work Dick was up ugainst it. Not that he was dumb or unything like that. He just couldn't think fast enough. Burrus might develop in u league where he has a chance to play every day. He has the makings of a great player and this year will do a Jot toward shaping his future. Connie now Is on a still hunt for an outfielder. He needs one badly and will pay any price. At the New York meeting Frank Naviu, of Detroit, tried to swap Flagsteud for Naylor, but Connie refused to fall. Hc is in the market for nn outpost, however, and hopes to land one before the team sets sail for Lake Charles. THE tall tutor has established a record in the major leagues in the lait six years. lie hat tried out more new players than any other manager, and M still trying them out. CopvrieM, 1910.

Old York Rond and Llanerch were the hosts at the new events, both of which drew overwhelming entry lists nnd proved conclusively that 'Quaker City players' hungered for Just such golf tilts. J. Wood Piatt,- city champion, was the bright and. particular star of the qualifying round at Old 'York Rond, for hc not only won the tneJal, but his card for the eighteen holes established a new course record In competition there. l'lntt scored a sizzling Tl, live strolccs better than any other card turned In by the fast field. - Some snappy matches drew very sizable gnlleries to the York road course all during the play. Th feature of the first day was the nfternoon match be tween Piatt and Edward Clarcy, rivals among the premier stars of the city. Halt had already beaten Clarey at North Hills, but the Bala man turned the tables here, though the match went to the nineteenth, where Piatt got in trouble and had to shake hands on a hard-fought defeat. This round put Clarcy In the semifinals, where hc met Spencer Jpnes and was again taken to the nineteenth before he could write the match down as his. Clarey met Norman Maxwell in the finals. Maxwell had surprised in the morning bv the case with which he dusted off Kdward T. Styles, 7 nnd 5, nnd was a favorite over Clarey. The latter, however, got going nicely. un" though Maxwell all but pulled out the niateh hc lost to Clarey on the eight eenth of a brilliant tussle. 1 down.

He hnd previously won the Silver Cross, how ever, one of the most coveted trophies the association offers which, with his showing at the national and at tyanerch gives him a high rank thjs year. Hoffner started 'by tying for the medal at Llanerch with J. J. Beadle, of that club. He-beat Clarey and then won from Tlatt In thtv final round, one of the fine matches of the year, which drew a big crowd at Llanerch.

Spencer Jones won the medal with n great 74. bent Piatt in the second round when the latter was apparently ovcrgolfed ufter the na tional and things, willed out Walter Reynolds, winner of the cup the yeur before, nnd finally entered the final round against Morris Jones. It was probably the first time in golf history two Joneses, who were no rela tion, had met In a tournament final. Something was bound to happen, and a sizzling match was the result. M. 1.

You might have been a blamed sight tcone. The Greatest Coward CONSIDERABLE gossip has been thtfted hnek nnd forth em tn TflFlhim ii fight of courage or skill.. There should' be no room for debate about the greatest coward, which, as you have guessed, is The Dollar." 1 A' certain man in'a front-line t fetich, ralnsoaked, Uie-covercd and under heayy fire, took his fate -with a cheerful tone. Only his life was at stake. The same man In a Wall Atreet slump went Into a nerve collapse and broke, down completely. He wus losing bid money. A Loading Example YOU 'may recall a certain episode In the life, of D'Artajrnan, the fight Ing Gascon ' of Dumas "Threo Musketeers."' When hc had nothing but his sword, any; danger that might turn up wan only a part of the day.'s program, to be taken wrlth all the thrill of sport. Later on In his career hc.amisaes a largo fortune. Riding along one day this thought struck him with a stun ning suddenness: "I. am rich but am I any longer brave?" Taking Chanca THH younjf ballplayer with his career to make will take any sort of chance. The game, at that time, is 100 per cent of the program. But when he is getting $12,000 a year on the average, he is no longer playing with the old dash nnd'enrefrce indifference to4 danger. As Charlie Dryden once remarked : "It's the high priced bric-a-brac of the diamond that Is always the most fragile." The star steps into a slight Injury and is' out two weeks. Twenty -five and thirty years ago found star ballplayers drawing from 52400 to $3000 a year, the wages paid Nap Lajole and Ed Delchnnty on the old Phlllv team. In those days when some ballplayer had a brace of fingers cracked he merely lashed them together, lost five minutes In the process and then resumed play. This Ib the exact thing that happened on the old Cleveland club of 1802. . Wealth and Condition . WEALTH usually brings about a life of ease. Or at least a touch of lux ury that develops softness. Money can soften most of the rough spots along the journey in a physical way. And once softened, it is no easy mat ter to hold the virility of the old days when Hard, Luck was the Iron-fisted trainer. The'Case of WUlard WILLARD kept to n rugged road when he was fighting his way up the ladder on the trail of Jack Johnson. Never a fancy boxer, he wus a pretty well knotted type of citizen when he finally renched the goal. He was hard enough then to take one of Jack Johnson's most robust wallops on the jaw and charge in for more. Having arrived at the peak ho soon came upon the lure of softer, easier ways of life. At Toledo' he had worked himself Into good physical condition, but the old hurdness and the old stamina were 1'IIOTOPIjVYH aHBHBmffiBBaaMaieflig THESE THEATRES EXHIBIT THE FINEST PHOTOPLAY PRODUCTIONS IN PHILADELPHIA See the Best Mqvlea. in Your Neighborhood Theatre A I I CM CHEliTEH STENTON I Ji.tMN MATINKi: DAILY IK)V(1IAN MfcrURAN IN TAHAMOUNT THE JAILBIRD" A CTit?
