Leonard Never Worries About Arbiter

CHAMPIONS who carry tlicir own referees with them nro likely to remnin
clmmpions a long time. Thin practice ha, become quite common of Into,
tot after the fiasco In Cletclnnd, when Hrynn Downey socked Johnny Wilson
a the whiskers for the lotiR count ntid Inter win diinuallficd for perpetrating
a foul, the private and pergonal arbiters are likely to net the gate. Had the
Cleveland Hoxlrw ComrnicMou Instated on naming It own referee there never
Trtrold hnve been any trouble. If he decided against Downey nothing would
hare been said, because the fami probably would have been acquainted with
the official and accepted hN word for It
Freddy Welsh used to linfc n lot of trouble when he was champion be
cause he Insisted on Hilly Koch? as the third man in the ring In all of his
championship fights outride of New York. However, when he boxed Leonard
the commission named the referee and the selection was final. Every title
holder likes to have a personal friend In the ring, but sometimes this Is car
ried too far.
No matter what the Cleveland Hoxtng Commission says and no matter
what the newspaper men have written. Wilson still Is mlddlowcight champion.
Tho ruling of the referee Is final, no matter how raw the decision seemed to be.
Now the middleweight chnmplonship is all tangled up again, but this Is not "t
all ttrange or startling. Since Stanlej Kctchcll passed out the title has been
cloudy. Frank Klaus claimed it and lost to George Chip. One night Albert
McCoy socked Chip on tho chin and won This was called a lucky punch and
McCoy never was taken seriously. Tom O'Dowd knocked out McCoy and later
loat a decision to Wilson.
O'Dowd claimed he was robbed and another battle was arranged In New
Tork. Wilson agnln got the decision, and It wns claimed he fouled repeatedly.
This caused another argument. Now comes the Ilryan Downey affair. Bryan
claims the title because of a lot of knockdowns and long counts, to say noth
ing of a questionable ruling on a foul. The best thing to do Is fight it oer
gain and hae a neutral referee on the job.
This battle should serve as a lesion to tho promoters of the Leonard
Tahdler fuss next week. Care should be taken in selecting a referee nnd the
best man in the business should be signed. There arc tniwj tompotent officials
In this section of tho country, and U should not be at all difficult to select the
proper person. '
Fortunately. Leonard is not addicted to carrying his own referee. Any
body at all will suit me." he said. "In fact, I never bother about It. I leave
It to Hilly Gibson, my manager."
Tendler feels the same wa about It. He is willing to accept any of the
local men or any one who has a national reputation.
JEKMAX TAYLOR and Hoiby
Hf
Question as soon as posuble. and
to tcoife at least a week beforehand.
Echo Anstvvrs 'Where"
WHERE, oh. where ' are the good old days when each spring saw a succession
of blooming young talent for our ball clubs In thr major leagues?
Time was, not o manj seasons back, when the thawing snow brought a
crop abundant, when as soon as a veteran star begnn to slip there was a
youngster read) to burn the trail a brilliant red and dazzle the stands with his
fresh young speed and all that.
In those days the vet never had a chance. He had an off season ana ne
was done, gone on the long trail to pick the alfalfa out of his hair in some neck
Of the wo'ods far removed from the shouting throng. No matter how he came
back In the bush, or what renewal of the grand old form he displayed, he was
done for all time. ... .
Good ball players were plentiful, but for some reason, that day has passed.
When a youngster of proml-e comes along now he is written of, talked nbout
and boosted to the ultimate heights.
Tho average major league team toda is a veteran aggregation that most
managers wonld have turned their noses up at a decade and less ago.
Look over the list. They dug up Hnbe Adams, who was a veteran ten
yearn ago. and brought him back to the big tent. They found old Jack Quinn.
and made him a first -string pitcher again. Old Bill Bailey was given a new
lease of life, and even ,rKaiser" Wilhchn, who pitched for Brooklyn a genera
tion ago. Mas resurrected to pltrh for the Phillies a few weeks ago when he
wa caught by Manager DonoMin after being on a scouting trip for the Phils.
Also don't forget Guy Morton, once "all In," but now staging a regular
Comeback with Tris Speaker's Indians
There are Innumerable cases of this kind throughout the big leagues, and
the curious part of it Is that tho vets usually "how a lot of stuff, thereby
proving that they were not really done when they were given the gate
previously.
This condition Is not true of the major leagues alone. The standard of
ploy throughout most of the minors is also considerably below what It used to
be, although some of them are still putting up a high-class game.
SCOUTS from the bg league teams arc hating a tough tune of it,
generally speaking.
Dangerous Invaders
GEORGE DUNCAN and Abe Mitchell have been turned back, their
assault on tho American open golf title checked before It reached the
front lines by the brilliant defense of one Long Jim Bornes.
However, there Is another peril, or. rather, two of them, looming In
the well-known offing. And apparently there Is no Long Jim Barnes to
halt their rush.
Said perils consist of two of the gentler net, namely, Mile Sunanne
Lenglen, the French wonder girl of the tennis courts, and Miss Cecil
Lcltch, England's marvel of the golf links,
i Fifteen years ago America's women tennis players, led by the redoubt
able May Sutton, of California, were supreme the world over. That
condition of supremacy held good until a couple of years back. Then
atne Suzanne Lenglen, brilliant, gifted, a wonder in aklll, stamina, strength
aad personality.
Just before her advent the world of women tennis had looked on Mollo
BJuratedt, now Mrs. Molla Bjuritedt Mallory, the Norse girl, as Incomparable.
She proved an easy victim for the pride of France.
Now Americans realize they havo no one to hold back her onrush
mnless Mrs. May Sutton Bundy or Miss Mary Browne can pull tho trick.
At for Miss Leitch, ouly the "breaks" or an accident can atop her.
America has no woman golfer to compare with her and never had. She
la aupreme, and the experts abrond aver there are only a hnlf doaen or so
t male golfers In the iirimti isles wno can equal ner in sneer amnty.
T LOOKS as though both the American women's golf and trnnii
titles arc going to be toted back to the other side, with no indi
cation of getting them back m a long, long time.
Grey Lag Three Pounds and a Nose the Better Horse
GREY LAO, the great Star Shoot co't of the Raneoras-HIldreth racing
confederation, paid well his owner when he ;ournevcd to Windsor to win
the Devonshire International Handicap, worth S20.000 and the blue ribbon
of championship for the three-year-old division. And it took eery ounce
Grey Lag had to overhaul anil to nos out E R Bradley's superb colt, Black
Servant, bv Black Toney The pair cut 2 3-5 seconds off Devonshire's track
record for the mile and on eighth, running the distance in 1 00 flat.
That, in all probabillt". , was the ber race ever run on the continent bv
three-j ear-olds at nine furlongs In making tlint statement the grand race
of Man o' War at Aqueduct Inst eur nnd the raV6 of Ronmer at Lnurnl in
1010 ore not overlooked Man o' War's time stands as the record at 1 :-10 1-5,
while Ronmer made the distance In 1 -10 3-5 But there Is a vast lot of differ
nco In the trnck at Devonshire and those of Aqueduct and Laurel Man o'
War, It Is apparent, was never extender to his utmost nnd there Is no doubt
he could have won the ruce Saturday at Devonshire Yet it is easy to believe
that a race at 1 'flO ht the Canadian track Is a better ona than nt 1 .11) 1-3
orer the Aqueduct track.
Grey Lag conceded three pmmds to Blatk Servant, which shows that he is
better by moie than a none than the Bradley colt Bradley had nun.ee! Black
Servant three weeks in Canada before the race, and his patience and good
planning for a big stake contest are shown again. The public generally be
lieved the victory for Grey I.ng would be easy, yet Grey Lag hod to be a better
horse Saturday than ever More In his life to defeat Block Servant.
Fifteen thousand persons saw the Devonshire classic, about evenly divided
between citizens of the 1'nltcd States and those of Canada. The people of
'Canada are gnat sportsmen nnd It Is to be regretted that Cunndn bus no
Canndlan-bred borne good enough to contend agnin-t the two Keutuck -bred
horses for the rich prize, making the rniv

DID IVl'GRAW PULL
A BONER ON RAPP?
Phillies' Third-Sacker Has Wal
loped Ball for .370 Average
Since Joining Locals
HOT FIGHT FOR LEAD
It begins to look ns though John
McGrnw, the manager of the Giants,
had pulled another boner In his trad
ing of plajers. Goldle Rapp Is the
latest former member of the Giants to
edge Into the limelight and make it
appear as is Jawn hud erred. Manv
trades hac been made between the
Phillies and the Giants nnd if the fig
ures are to be bellcxed the local club
has scored the advantage In the ma
jority of them.
During the Inst ten games Rapp play
ed with the New Yorkers he was
credited with one hit, which probably
would make any mnnoger willing to
give him the air.
Rapp has been thestnr of the rhlllie
team since joining them. lie has i
played brilliantly in tho field nnd has '
lilt with the best In the league. On i
Saturday in the double-header with
nicngo he hit safely In his twenty
first nnd twenty-second gnmes, con
necting in the intlnl contest on bis
first trip to the plate for a triple nnd
In the second game whanging out n
single in his first appearance at the
platter. He was stonned in vestcrdny's
game at Chicago when he failed to hit
In nnv of his four times at bat
Best Mark This Year
Hitting safely in twenty-two games
is something that Isn't done very often
in the big leagues. Duffy Lewis, sent
to the miners for his inubillty to hit
and n falling bntting eje, cuine through
In some thirty odd games out In the
Western League with one or moie safe
hits Long strcakK hove been known
In the majors heretofore, but the one
of Rnpp'.s is the longest this season In
either lengue.
This continuous hitting spree has
brought Rapp from near the bottom of
the list in tho averages up with the
men strUing to get into the three
hundred class. When he joined the
Phillies, Goldle had the puny average
of .I'll!, nnd nccordlng to Saturday's
nvcrnges he has a mark of .201, a gain
in twentj-two gnmes of forty-eight
points. And he was sent awuy from the
Giants beiaue he could not hit. During
his streak he has batted at a .370 clip.
Lost season Rapp set the American
Association afire with his brilliant field
ing nnd hitting and cnuscd no end of
furor nmong the scouts of big league
clubs. McGraw, with his unlimited bank
account, went nfter Rapp and (.narcd
him with a Slfi.OOO offer.
The fans out wefct are rnving about
the playing of another Giant castoff,
Curtlss Walker, who has been cavorting
in right field since tho departure of I'mll
Meusel. and bus been hitting and field
ing brllliantl. The fact that this is his
first )car in the majors and that he Is a
oungstcr with worlds of promise,
makes him look like another find for the
Phillies.
Yanks and Giants Struggle
Another week has passed in the pen
nant irtrugglcs of the GiantK nnd Yan
kees. The Glnnts hnve enjoyed the satisfac
tion of overhauling the Pittsburgh Pl
ratep nnd taking their place nlongside
the Corsnlrs at the head of the National
Lengue parade, onlj to fall back. The
Yiinkees hnve not tasted this pleasure In
tiie past ten Ms, but tlicj nro clinging
eloso to the Indians.
Last Tucsda; morning the Piintes
enjojivj n three-game ndantogc over
the Giants after having token the open
ing game of their series. By Saturday
night tho Gionts had reduced this lead
to nothing and were on even terms with
the Gibson troupe.
So far this season the Giants hnve
taken the measure of the Pirates nine
times in fourteen games, six of the mic
ccwh halng been scored in eight games
with the Piiates.
The Yankees to dote hnve taken the
measure of the Indians eight times in
fouiteen gnmes. winning one scries nnd
getting no worse than an even bleak in
tho others. Last jenr the Yankee
trimmed the Indions consistently, win
ning thirteen of the twenty-two games.
'I he Giants today are near enough to
the lead to displace the Pirntes within
two days, the rolatlve positions being
tho samo as prevails between Yankees
nnd Indiana. With the McGrawmcn
tho difference Is In defeats, as they have
won as many games as the Pirntes, but
hnve lost two more. The Yankees, on
tho other hand, have lost no mco than
tho Indians, but have played less than
the world's champions.

Cohort, Brilliant Frenchman,
Will Strive for Bill Tilden's
Title at Manheim
DANISH PLAYERS COMING
Assurance has been received by Hie
officials of the Germantown Cricket
Club that four of the most interesting
tennis players in the world will com
pete for the singles championship of tho
United States at the Ocrmantown Club
during the week beginning September 0.
They aro Qobert, the Frenchman;
Tegnor, Ingcrslev nnd Hcnrlkscn, tho
young Danish players.
Gobert, with a billllant war record,
a great record on the courts, and won
derful finish to his game Is certain to
be one of the mnin attractions in the
field of 218 ployers from nine different
countiies who will strie to lift the
crown worn by Bill Tildcn, the tall
Phlladelphian.
Until this summer the relative merits
of the plajers from the Scandinavian
countries wns unknown. Then Tegnor
entered the hard-court (liomplonship In
France, which Tllden eventually won.
and scored n brilliant victory In one of
the rounds over Laurents, the French
man, who held the title. As Ingcrslev
and Henrlkseti also are skilled plajers,
nnd rank close to Tegnor, the trio are
lUclr to make interesting competition
tor American players at Germantown In
Bopteintier.

sporting nnd lnwn tennis lovers outside
of tie ranks of the Philadelphia clubs,
ore not to be deprived of n chance to
see the championship according to Sam
uel M IV acock, who Is in charge of
the ticket sole.
"TTnder the regulations of the United

Dy OBANTLAND KICK
Tho First Call
Ship me somewhere into autumn
Where the fullback hits a line,
Where the halfback docs a tango
On some big right tackle's spine.
Where a punt goes sailing swiftly
As the spiral cleaves the air. (
And a flock of cleats land deftly
In the quarter's tangled hair.
Ship me somewhere through October
B'Acro I'll hear a howling mass
As some sprinting end swings outtcard
To receive a forward pasi.
When tome runner dives through center
With a dozen yards to go
As some husky forward nails him
And a tackle lays him low.
Tho rirnte Pace
FOB threo nnd n half months, some
thing orer a hundred days as the
crow files, Oibson's Flrntcs have been
acting as pace setters with but little
chance to flop nndtnkc an extra breath.
Face setting is no light undertaking

that Gibson's club has held such an
even stride. Fino spirit and ball play

Only So Much
Tlin humnn system can stand only so
much. The limit Is nlways In the
offing. Jock Hutchison began his rip
roaring campaign early In March. The
British champion trod various com
petitive fields under foot until nt last
hn reached his fastest paco at St.

That was the crest of his form. After
this triumph n nntural reaction was due.
Being human he could go only so far.

Ho hnd come to top form too long ngo
to be at his best at Wimbledon. Thcro
ho had n close call over n good tennis

rullllng Together
BOTH America and Great Britain
have shown their keen desire to con
tinue International golf. The Inter
national fen tu ro has added deep Interest
to tho competitive side of the game.
But there can bo no International,
golf nnd no Interactional golf If we are
to Jmvo two sets of rules In this country
nnd both nro to differ from British
regulations.
Thcro should be only one ruling body
over here nnd thnt body should hnve at
least one more adjustment with the
British committee to complete ono es
tablished set of rules and regulations,
with only such minor differences as
may be necessnry. One might think
that tho world hnd known enough con
flict lately without starting fresh trou
blc in a friendly sport.
Oxford mid Cambridge
WITHOUT any undue expectations of
n triumphant march, Oxford and
Cambrldgo sent over tennis, golf nnd
trnck teams to compete with our best.
They hoped to do well, but they hardlv
could hnve figured upon any victorious
romp. They came more for snort than
for medals. It has been n fine thing
for both countries and for the game
Itself to hnve them over, regardless of
any final score.
