Kwrytlma eome holy picks a baseball fight that mm. boOy takes the husWest wallop at those poor rhltliea. The Quakertown team wa hot to placet during the American-National league war and the ame thins happened during th Federal league nrrap. No team ever had brighter pennant Proapeota than did the rhlllles after the IfllJ aeason closed. Thejr had plsved won derful base hall during the l!li season and were runners tip all tha way. The. veterana looked (rood for the 1W4 cam paign and aome of the Phillies' young sters werp due to deliver. And then tha blow fell. The Feds grabbed Tom Beaton, ranked as one of tha beat pitchers In tha game: they took Otto Knabe. the brainy second sacker, and Mike Doolln, one of tha best ahortetopa In the game. Also they grab bed Pitcher Ad Brcnnan. never a won der, yet man who ranked pretty well tip In the pitching business. afield la Wrerk. , The rhlllles were aliot to pieces even before the 1914 campaign opened. Their Infield waa wrecked by tha loss of Knabe and Poottn and their pitching mainstay waa gone. From a possible pennant con tender the Phlllle plumped Into aecond division eertitlntle. What happened In the 19U-H aeaaona waa but repetition of what took place In 1901-lDPi. The rhllllea In thoae day had a wonderful tesjn. They looked like pennant possibilities. And then came the raid of tha warring American leaguers arid waa for the rhllllea' owneraT Lajole, Ed Pelchanty and Klmer Flick, who were among the greatest batFmen In base ball, Jumped the club and went with the American league. So did Bill JJcrnhard. who held a place high up among the top notch pltchera In thoae daya. Ten I.labt with Coin. .

And thoae 'reaaona wrre: Klrat.. they hold the warring league and Ita lure In too cheap regard; and aecond, when Jt came to bidding up on the aalary question they, were too tight with the bankroll. Lojoie waa getting 12,40!) a year when tha war broke out. The American leaguers offered him about ,000. The offer waa large, but I-ajoie wain't very keen about Jumping. He told the Fhlllle ownera so. "Roost my pay to and I'll atlck with you." he told the rhtlil owner. "Nothing doing," they answered.

"That ll.OW raise wouldn't have been anywhere near what the Feda offered mo, but I was wiliUus to ty for that $1,000 boost. But they turned me down and I Jumped." The Phillies have three claims to what nilftht be termed distinction.

I'll say right now that Jack Johnson will walk Into the ring at Juaret with hie golden smile bared to the sun knock Willard out In any minufe of any round he wants to Dan McKetrick talk ing. "I think I know Johnson bettorthe Johnson of today better than any man In America." went on Dan. "I've been with htm, traveled with him, and I know positively lie hasn't touched a drop of liquor of any kind for a year or more. He Is Just as wonderful a fighter as he ever was, crafty, clever and brainy. Why, In the Moran fight he GIBBONS A REAL CHAMPION St rnl Than torn EsUbliihei Eight to the Middleweight Honor j Trimming' Clabby. M'COY'S CLAIM IS FUTILE By R1WGSIDK. NEW YORK. Feb. .-Hy this time Mike Gibbons, the, "Pt Paul shroud," ha been extolled the breadtfe of the universe as the greatest of living middle weight fighter. By, virtue of his undis puted victory over Jimmy flabby two weeks ago, aibhonehas clarified himself the middlwelght situation to such an ex tent that It will require but one or two more such triumphs for Michael to be universally acclaimed the champion, pro testations from Al McCoy notwithstand ing. McCoy may contend that he is the only legitimate title-holder by his one-punch simply : knockout of Oeorge Chip, who In some handled Frank as a mother would a s-yeer-old baby boy. "Johnxon was afraid that he was golne to be tricked out of bis title In that fight Coming out of a clinch In the second round, Johnson nearly tore Frank's head' off with one of bis amazing right-hand uppercuta. Oeorge Carpcntler. the ref eree, took Johnson by the two arms, backed him away from Moran and said In broken Engllah:' 'Do rat again you I deesqiiallfy.' "Johnson Immediately thought thatL carpentier might be In on a plan to ti his crown away on a foul, no matter hnw trivial. After that Johnson simply stood off and Jabbed, Jabbed, Jabbed. Jabbed until the crowd wearied of the monotony of his methods and hissed him roundly. Eecause of that It. became the gneral opinion the world over that Johnson hal founht a badly, a miserable result of a fray life In Paria. "Now, don't be foiled. Johnson Is as great as he ever wrs. as wonderful as Thompson, Hob Moha and Frank, MantelJ, quarters was looked upon a the cham pion at the time. We will endeavor to prove to McCoy that . he la, groesly la error. McCoy's argument or rather the argu ment of hla manager for htm la that Chip was champion until he collided with Al' soporlfle wallop. Chip, according to McCoy, came Into possession of tnat title by hi two-ply knockout of Frank Klaus, who was supposed, to have taken over the championship responsibility after he had vanquished Hilly Tapke, to whom. they say, the crown reverted after Cham pion Stanley Xetchel's Ill-fated end. Pap Ice Never Champ. N"ow for our aide of the controversy. The title couid never revert to Papke after Ketonel's death. Hut granted that he was then recognised aa the champion. lie t ween the time of Ketchel'a demise end before Papke met Klaus, the- "Th un derwit" had been beaten no less than three times by "Cyclone , Johnny" he was at Reno against the onoe match less Jeffries. He proved In the Moran bout that he can whip the beat man alive with one hand tied behind his tack. lis simply was suspicious and took po chances of losing the Moran bout through any uttie infraction of the rule whatac- Bo that certainly plaoed a damper an I'apke's Inspirations. ' When Klaus met him Papke was on the downgrade, and the only title he owaed was that of "middleweight champion of Europe," which he took away from Oeorges Carpentier, Bo If.MoCoy really ever. No man ever lost a world title Hhlnka he Is entitled to some sort at necause ne Jahhed the other man allly, and that's what he did to Moran, "Remember what I say: Johnson in sny .mlnuto of any round he himself selects! He Is master of the world with a pair of five-ounoe gloves on his big ebony flsta. I'll stand on that" ' Ty Cobb Favors the Red Sox in Coming Battle for Pennant R08TON. Feb. .-Ty Cobb Is of' the opinion that the Iloston Red Sox will usurp the throne abdicated by the Ath letlos when Mack cut loose Eddie Collins, Eddie Plank and Chief Tiender, "I believe," say Ty. "that the league all! be far better balanced than for sev eral years, but X cannot see how anybody will stop Carrlgan. Tou can say what you like, but the lora Of Collin will be felt In Philadelphia. He was the brain cf that Infield. There la no such In Mold asset anywhere In the game. His trans fer to Chicago will hche the Whit Box greatly and make of that team a real pennant contender. But Iajole at hla best could not have replaced Eddie Col Una. The ahirt of Mclnnls to second base i bound to handicap Mock' infield. Larry L&Jole may take a new leas of life in Quakertown, but It must be re membered that he Is very old In the game. Apparently he ha been slipping for sev eral years and ha la not IMely to Im prove, even with a change of scenery. "Boston wl! start the coming season right where It left off last fall. There was no doubt In the cloning months that the lied Hog presented the most formid able array In our circuit. Dick Iloblltzel, at first, made the team. If the Hub aggregation had enjoyed e better start In the Hiring It might haive headed the Athletics. No team plnyed better ball In the last half of. the see son. "Carrlngan ha the best outfield in the business. He has a good Infield, and the best pitching staff In Organised Iiase r.all. He is well provided with right- handed and left-handed talent. Wood Foster, TonH, Collin and GrtrtT are a few of his formidable artillerymen. If any on can atop that Ked Hox buach, I'd like to know it. To me the Red Hog for the next few years appear as form idable as were the Athletic wreckers wheu the did inai'Ulne was Intact." Yale Captain Must Watch Bace from Shore Creighton Laws Want Game with Redskins The Haskell Indian basket ball team from Lawrence, Kan., may be aecn here next ruuuln. If a three-gam trip now pending can be aattlod. The Crelghtnn taw school team will be the opponents of the red me n, and the game will (be l!aycd at 'either the local Young Men's Christian association gymnasium or that of the University of Omaha. The Indians are now attempting to championship for knocking out Chin ha might claim the middleweight title Of lOurope. . The records show that there has fese no legltlriT&te middleweight . champion since the days of Stanley Ketchel, (he "Michigan Assassin." Naturally, the title haa been In abeyance since then, and, there have beep, numerous claimants ef said title, But none has had the riveted claim on it that Mike Gibbons now holds, la Ideal Paer. Gibbons embodies every qual'flcatlasi that goes to make a ring champion. II is unquestionably the cleverest boxer k for the public today. He is a terrlfio puncher, and has shown that he can absorb punishment, aa was vldencs4 a the Clabby bout. The Hammond lad, a ring wisard himself, directed h'ji attach at Qltbon's body, Mike's supposed weak spot. Gibbons assimilated Clabby' soldld punche unflinchingly and fought back, hard at the same time. Gibbons showed his masUry In A max Jorlty of tha rounds over the man whe was thought to be. at the head of the middleweight division, dabby defeat relegates htm to the rear rank for the time being. Clabby demand a return battle with Gibbons and wants ths distance to be twenty rounds. Clabby points to his fin-. Ish In the tenth round of the Milwaukee title bout. He asserts that Gibbon started to tire In the eighth round and was fatigued at tha end of hostilities. Clabby expresses supreme confidence In his abil ity to knock Gibbons out In a twenty round bout , Mike ha the latter matter under con sideration and will let Clabby have an answer In several days. Meanwhile Gib bons Is also pondering over the proposi tion put before hira by Jimmy Johneton. match maker of Madison Square Garden. Jolme wants Gibbons to name his terms for a ten-round bout with Packey Mo Farland In the Garden the last week of the month. Want MeFarlaad Dark, It la said that Johnston has offered Mc- Farland the princely sum of 115,000 to re consider his announced retirement and come back' for the battle. This Is the largest puree ever offered a fighter to engage in a bout in the metropolis. 4 However, It Is not a matter of money mai seeps Aicranana irora issuing a definite answer, Packey has something Hire a quarter of a million dollars in cache, and he 'would have to secure th consent of Mrs. Patrick McFarland be fore he could don the glove. Johnston ha asked Mra. McFarland to permit her spouse to re-enter the arena for this bout In order to prove to a pal' pitatlng populace that Packey la th clev erest boxer In the world. ' Gibbon Is not avers to meeting Mc Farland. but he asserts that he will mske no weight for the Chicago Idol Gibbons scaled at YZ pounds far Clabby, and was at his beet., At that It U doubtful if Packey would do better than 130 pounds after several weeks' training. w . w t ' "' :' .- ; .
