American Boy Wins
Battle Abroad^
Swakopmund, C : rman Southwest ;
Africa. July 2. Willie Jones, the !
American boxer who is with the fleet!
at this port, handed Jack Morris a
surprise package by a decisive beat
ing in a fifteen-round bout here last
night.
Both boys were trained to the min
ute and they put up a slashing exhi
bition. The contest opened with both
boys sparring for un opening.. - Jones
was the first to land with a hard jab
to Morris' nose.
Morris went after Jones savagely,
but was cleverly blocked by Jones.
In the fifth and tenth rounds Jones j
took a desperate chance. He banged
Morris around the face with right and |
lefts and sent him staggering to the
ropes.
Morris refused to go down despite
th<* hard smashes that he received and
each time came ba'ck for more.
In the final round Jones scored a
knockdown, but the bell saved Mor
ris.

SOXGS THE SOLDIERS SING
You'll rarely ever find him humming
A song of war and battle bold;
You'll rarely ever hear him strumming
A lilt set in heroic mould;
For when he finds the big Job grating
Upon his nerves across the foam.
He'd rather sing of some one waiting
Back at a place called Home, Sweet Home.
You'd think before some mighty battle,
Surrounded by the conflict's roar,
He'd make the far flung echoes rattle
With songs of carnage and of gore;
You'd think, with wild enthusiasm
He'd give vent to his final breath
With something In a vocal spasm .
That ended "Victory—or Death!"
But when he hears the dusk winds bringing
Some old ream from the heart of June,
The chances are you'll hear him singing
Some long forgotten foolish tune—
Something to rhyme with summer posies
Of blue eyes and the twilight gloam,
Of Hps red with the blood of roses
Back at a place called Home, Sweet Home.
MANAGER AND PITCHER
Mathewson, the pitcher, had something else beyond a wise head and a
great arm.
When Matty was working, even when he was the victim of a hostile fusil
lade, his mates seemed to be playing steadier, harder ball back of his pitch
ing than they were able to play for any one else.
He had the knack of inspiring his club with additional confidence. The
morale around him was at its best.
Mathewson the manager seems to have the same knack with the Reds.
Without any furor or upheaval or clamor he has at last given the Red mtf
chlne the morale it has never known. The men have been giving their best,
hammering away with all the artillery they have at hand.
Mathewson has only completed a year at the helm, but in that time he
has lfted a dismantled ball club with a forty-year tradition of failure into
a machine that is pointing in a definite direction —and that drection isn't
down hill.
TIIE BEST INFIELD
"Which team has the best infield in baseball." asks T. J. H.. "the Giants
or the Yankees?"
Pipp is better than Holke; Herzog is better than Malsel; Peck and
Fletcher are about 50-50, and so are Zim and Baker. The margin is ex
tremely delicate.
But in the meanwhile, what Is the matter with an infield composed of
Hoblitsel, Barry, Scott and Gardner?' (
AX APPEAL
Dear Sir: I see where the Western Golf Association has abolit'ied all
stvmies. This is well enough. But why doesn't benevolent golf association
arlso and abolish all bunkers and traps? If such an association is ever
formed, please cable me collect. HOPELESS.
"Leonard and Kilbane t(\meet late this month." We had a vague, dim
idea of having read some press agent story that Leonard was to be in the
service by now. Were we wrong about it, or has Bennie gone in? The
request is merely offered for information.
OR LIVES THERE NOT?
Lives there a bloke with soul so dead
Who never to his rival said
"I'm badly off my game?"
Or, at the start of some hard fight.

And that "my back is lame?" L. L. H.
Jess Wlllard announces that he will fight somebody this coming fall.
Did some one say "the Germans?"
The test of Hal Chase's ability as a ball player is this —after thirteen
campaigns they are still comparing the best in the game to the Red in
' fielder who is better to-day than he was five years ago.
PAXTANG PARK—Vaudeville.
COLONIAL—"Ba,wbs o' Blue Ridge
REGENT—"Light in Darkness."
A story of the Virginia mountains,
with a little orphaned waif as its
licHKle Vork nction writer as

On Saturday, Metro's beautiful little
star, Emmy Whelan, will be seen in a
five-act wonderplay of a "rich'' poor
girl and a "poor' rich youth, entitled,
"A Duchess of Doubt," which also
gives Miss Whelan a wonderful op
portunity to wear several gorgeous
costumes.
"Light in Darkness," shown at the
Regent to-day, is a story of modern
times, but deals with a
Regent phase of life that has ex-
To-dny, isted almost since the be
"l,lit lit In ginning of time. It vivid-
Uarknesa" ly describes the way in
which two innocent per
sons suffered for the sins of others,
perhaps, because they were the weak
er. The story sparkles with tense
dramatic situations and la combined
with a touch of humor. "Light in
Darkness" features Shirley Mason.
A photoplay of exceptional value,
not alone as a reflection of gripping
romance, but bearing the added at
with a toucb of humor. "LYight in

To-morrow afternoon a new musical
farce, 'entitled "Two Fools There

bill is said to be very funny and
equally as entertaining as any of their
previous efforts.
The first fireworks display of the

morrow evening. The pyrotechnical

many new and interesting novelties
will be shown. Fireworks displays

Frank Baker Exonerated
From Charges by Johnson
Chicago, July 18. J. Franklin
Baker, third baseman with the New
j York Americans, was exonerated of
alleged tampering charges by Presi
dent Johnson, of the American League,
last night.
Baker, in a letter to the league ex
ecutive. denied that he had attempted
to Induce Pitcher Allen Sothoron. or the
St. Louis Club, to desert organized
baseball. On the contrary, he said, he
had advised the young pitcher to re
main with St. Louis.
Pitcher Sothoron in an interview re
garding the charges against Baker
said "I had an offer from the Upland
(Pa/l team, and when Baker, who for
merly played with the team, was here.
I merely asked him about the manage
ment of the club. He said he didn't
know. Then I asked him as a per
sonal favor to me to wire there and
get more information for me, and he
did. That's all."

the activity of the German oußma

The baseball paraphernalia carried

efforts of Clark Griffith, manager of
the Washington American League

a chain letter to collect twenty-five
cents from each of his friends to sup
