It is not alto gether because Pete Herman jof New Orleans, boss of the banties. has en listed in the United States army that the rest of the little fellows in the game are showing unusual activity. It is because most of them want to fight and must fight in order to get along. Herman so far is the only chani' pion of any class that has entered the service, but that may not take him out of the fighting game during the coming winter. It is said that he will box a lot of bouts about New Or leans. And he will find plenty of customers, too. The latest of the bantams to break out is Pal Moore of Memphis, who nas piacea nimseit under the man agement of Nate Lewis of this city. Pal was married Recently and is' now fuller of scrap than ever. He wants tw come on here and tackle Toe Bur- man, tne west fcide boy, who made a good impression recently in Racine with George Thompson of the Pa- cine- coast. Has Peculiar Record. Moore has a peculiar record. While not claiming to be a champion he has a referee's decision over Pete Her man, the present incumbent, as well as a referee's decision over Johnny Ertle, the Minnesota star. In addition to tnat ne gave Johnny Williams, for mer champion, one of his hardest ngnts, knocking the Baltimore man down three or four times. These were not fluke knockdowns either. Frankie Burns, the. bantam, who many believers one of tne greatest boxers among the little fellows, has reason to remember the Memphis boy. He boxed him three ten-round, no-decision battles and fought him to a draw in twelve rounds on a referee's decision. Thus it can be seen that the somewhat er ratic Pal is a mighty young man when it comes to fighting "Why can't we induce Burman to box me at Racine in a Labor day card?" Moore asks. "I'll te a better card than Johnny Ertle, whom I al ready have defeated. I'll, make 116 pounds for Burman, too, which is something a lot of them can't'and won't do." It appears to- be up to Burman. White Is Lonesome. . That low-moaning wail that you hear from the North Side of the city is the chant of Charley White getting a large number of no responses to his telegrams to his manager, Nate Lewis, in. the, east. Charley probably is the most lonesome man in the world. No- .body will have a thing to do' with hitn. Of course, this refers only to a fighting sense, because in a personal way Charley can find plently of com panionship. But that isn't what the Chicago lightweight wants. He needs , a fight, and needs it badly. He cm not even get any attention. What he wants most of all is a com bat with Benny Leonard, one of his own people and the present champion of the world. But Benny and his man- i ager turn not only one but a quartet of deaf ears in the general direction of Chicago when the subject is men tioned to them. Benny is much too busy in other directions to recognize . the local boy. But it isn't the Leonard thing alone that is worrying the left-hooking star. , It is the fact that he cannot get any recognition from any other man in his class and from mighty few promoters. None of the lightweights care to tackle him and as a natural result promoters do not care to bother with him. What's the use of having half the sketch and nobody else to fill in with? White can beat a second or third rater about as quickly as any light weight we ever had. Knowing this, promoters find it next to impossible to get anybody to work with him and when it comes to a real star card the thing is almost as dead. Immediately you mention White's name the price of the other fellow jumps so high that the man running the show im mediately loses, interest. And there .you are.

Wyckoff was drafted and appeared before the Williamsport, Pa., exemption board claiming release from military service because he is married and has two children. The board decided that be cause Charles C.

New York, Sept. 8. Batting, field ing and pitching constitute the back bone, of base ball. Each department of the game is all important; for the club which is weak in any one branch lacks balance, and without balance a ball club can not play consistently.' The question of which is the most important has often been argued. Many base ball men will tell you that batting is the most important factor in the pastime, utners will argue that pitching counts most heavily, and Some will contend that good fielding, combined with either heavy hitting or good pitching, will get consistent results. Leaving all arguments aside, let's take-a slant at several of the weaker clubs in the two big leagues. Look at the Pirates, for instance. They are buried in the National league cellar, -with no hope ot getting out this year, yet at times the Firates play like world-beaters. They look just as Rood as any club in either big league when they are getting air-tight pitching. Jferhaps the best pitcher on the Pirate staff right now is Wilbur Cooper. Pitching for a losing club( he has not been able to push his way to the top, but he is a sweet pitcher, and when he is right he needs only a run or two to win. When the Jrirates played their farewell series at the Polo Grounds Wilbur Cooper pitched the first game,, and won it, 1 to 0. Rube Benton was pitching against him, and pitching great ball, but Cooper blanked the uiants m every round. Max Carey won the game for Cooper by scoring on a double steal. Win on Hurling.. Without bang-up pitching that day the Pirates would probably have been beaten, figuring that they were able to make but one run off Benton. So he pitching stood out as the domi nant factor here, and instances of the kind occur nearly every day in the big leagues, though the scores may not be 1 to 0. Take the Browns or the Athletics in the American league. Put them on the field with good pitching and they are tough nuts for all comers to crack. The Mackmen, with Joe Bush in form, need not take off their hats to any club in their league. The same goes for the Browns, with Plank, Koob or Davenport keyed up for pitching good ball. Bad Pitching Fatal. .The champion Dodgers, who have been wallowing in the second division all the season, are by no means a weak club at the bat Fact is, the Dodgers hit as hard and as far as any club in their league. But bad pitch ing has been their undoing this sea son. Occasionally, however, Ole Jack Coombs or Rube Marquard steps to the mound and puts up an eighteen carat pitching exhibition. Do the Dodgers' look like champions then? They certainly do. Take the Giants, Phillies, White Sox or Red Sox and put them in a game where they will get weak pitching. Will they look like world-beaters? Far from it, for the winning club gen erally looks good, and the winning club, as a rule, must have the best pitching. Any ball club in the business will play better ball behind good pitching than it can possibly play back of a pitcher who is going poorly. Of , course, the chances are fewer, and consequently there are fewer oppor tunities for the fielders to make bun gles, but a well pitched game arouses the fighting spirit in the player, or takes it out of him, as the case may be. So there is no good argument that can be advanced to prove that batting has anything on the pitching depart ment in the way of importance. Bat ting lends life to the game, and, like fielding, furnishes the spectacular end of it. But when the man out there on the mound is bossing the job he's the whole show. Four St. Louis Pros Enter Open Tourney at Chicago Four St. Louis professionals plan to enter the Western Golf associa tion's open championship tournament, which is to' be decided in Chicago early in September. William Hunter, professional at the St. Louis Country club, will be among the entrants. Other St. Louis tutors who hope to make the trip are Willie Kidd of Algonquin, John Caldwell of Midland Valley nd John Meehan of Ridgedale. PURDUE HAS HIGH HOPES FOR WINNER All but One of Last Spring's Squad Under Draft Age and Entire Eleven May Re turn Intact. . . Although Purdue university will open two weeks later than usual this year, the opening of the foot ball season will not be greatly delayed. Coach Geo O'Donnell will arrive Sep tember 15 and it is expected the foot ball candidates will be called together by . September 20, the date set by the conference for the beginning of regular practice. Coach O'Donnell's squad has not been hit hard by the war. All but one of the men on last spring's squad are below the draft age. It is pos sible some of them have enlisted in the army or navy during the summer Vand will not return, but thus far no word has been received from any of them that they will not be back. Old Stars in War Service. Several of last year's gridiron stars at Purdue are now serving Uncle Sam. M. J. Proud, star guard, is now a captain of infantry in the offi cers' reserve corps. Warner B. Van Agen, end and brilliant track per former, is a second lieutenant in in fantry P. S. Hake, captain of last year's eleven, is a second lieutenant in the coast artillery section and is on his way to France for intensive training behind the lines. Harry Routh, all-western guard three years ago, is a first lieutenant of infantry, and W. F. Taylor, center on the team in 1913, is captain of Bat tery C, Indiana field artillery, which is to be sent abroad as a unit of the "rainbow division." These are only a few of the many Purdue athletes now in military service. 1 Few Vets in Squad. Captain Berns of this year's eleven will not have many veterans with him, but several members of last year's freshman squad are promising and should develop into fast men. Coach O'Donnell expects to have a hard task to fill the many holes left by the graduation of, last year's regulars. Hart, center, and Bartlett, guard, are two of the 1916 dependables who will be back. Berns wilf play tackle and Hume probably will bp tried out at quarterback. . New ends will have to be developed and a new back field. Huffine, the plunging fullback of last year's eleven, is expected to return and will be one of the stalwarts of the 1917 squad.j McDonald is a new end who looks promising. Stovall Fires Hurler, So Frisco Promptly Signs Him Frank Decanniere, veteran left handed pitcher recently, released by George Stovall, of the Vernon club, has signed a contract with the San Francisco club Gossip Heard on'the Sandlots Bernard Hogeman, former director ot the Omaha Amateur Base Ball association, 11 now training at Darning. Samuel Moore, general of the Frank Deweyi, la looking for a few out-of-town games 403S Brown atreet will nip him. . Since Hollander joined the Ramblers he haa been playing gilt-edge balli ... In all probability the Ramblers will now claim the services of Potoch since the directors allowed .the Armour-Holmes game to stand as played. At that the Ramblers are much higher In the Greater Omaha league percentage col umn than the dopesters expected. Since the C. B. De Vol Victors changed captains they are playing a higher grade ot base ball. Samuel Moore, the Irrepressible leader of the Frank Deweys, Is now ready to play any of the class B squads for money, mar bles or chalk. According to reports, the Graham Ice Creams have melted away. Anyway this herd was game to the end. If the Armours had trimmed the Holmes White Box last Sunday it would have saved the directors considerable worry. The Townsends are still willing to plunge a hundred rocks that ,they can trim the Murphy Did Its. Frank Hubatka says If the Krajloeks won the championship of the Metropolitan league the crepe would now be dangling from the Murphy Did Its. Four ktnkers Is all the Armours used against the Holmes White Box. Each one served hltable stuff. Last Sunday Goodso twirled an elegant game for the Sample Harts, striking out ten and allowing only five hits. ' Behind the crack 'em platform Frank Delehanty Is doing stellar work tor the Sam ple Harts. It is a dlffloult matter to pil fer a base off ot his arm. Today the Besetiris will journey to Platts mouth In automobiles. In their last battle the cigar men whipped Flattsmouth and they1 will try to repeat the dose. The Besellns will have two seta of bat teries today, namely, Supernols and Cow ans and Sullivan and Donavon. - Next Sunday the Besellns will wander over to Shenandoah. Ia., and take a whirl at the fast tribe of baseballlsta stationed there. Jack Cavansugh has organised a squad ot pill chasers to play Clarence Hall's troupe. With Moreartys emery ball working the Bpavs ought to clean house with most any contingent. Kink Foran Is at present out of town. He Is laying brick at West Point, Neb.

Bert McAndrews' quick peg enables him to knock 'em down and still retire the hitter at corner one. He holds down cush ion two for the Te-Be-Ces. Last week Earl Higglns was on duty for the Te-Be-Ces when the board of directors of the Greater Omaha league convened. Earl Breasman, former local star of re pute, blew In town looking like a Jess WIN lard. He kept In good condition learning how to farm. Ha Is going to play foot ball. So far the Spava have not been chal lenged. Managers wishing-games are re quested to call Clarence Hall at Colfax 101. Bllliam Sherlock, who formerly cavorted on the local sand lots, Is now getting his square . at Grand Island, Neb. This season Arthur Dyck of the Holmes Whits Sox has secured more circuit smashes than any other klnker. Sandy Jamieson, former local baseballlst, recently blew In from Chicago, where he was a reporter .for the Chicago Tribune, and Is now practicing law In south town. The reliable Hopkins did not prove a very valuable asset to the i Trimble Bros. Juniors In their championship fight. Only three scattered pokes is all the Holmes White Box were able to collect off of the benders served by Oscar Orant ot the Melady Mavericks. ) It is understood that the Murphy-Dld-Its are after Goodno, the eraok slabater ot the Sample-Harts. Next Sunday the Murpny-Did-Its will buck up against the class B champions of Minneapolis at Minneapolis. Peter McCoy will be on the firing line to defend the class B title at Minneapolis next Sunday. Arthur Moran and Dennis O'Brien are the dudes that tickle the horsehlde against the boards for the Murphy-Dld-Its.

According to advices received from Cleveland, Jess Willard has been im pressed by the offer made him by Matt Hinkle. The Cleveland pro moter has offered Willard $50,000 to box the winner of the Carl Morris Fred Fulton bout. Hinkle has told Jess that he can set the date for the match. The $50,000 looks pretty big to Willard. It is more than he has been offered for a fight in some time. Furthermore, Willard has a great deal of faith in Hinkle and an offer from him is likely to have more weight with the champion than a bigger offer would have if it came from someone else. Willard has announced that he will not fight for Jim Coffroth under any circumstances. Coffroth' was anx ious to sign the champion to box the winner of the Morris-Fulton bout and wanted to stage the bout at the Tia Juana race track in southern Cali fornia. For a time it seemed as if he might succeed in landing the match, but Willard has put the quietus on any further efforts Cof froth might have made to land the , match by saying he would not fight for Coffroth. . ' . The friction between Coffroth and Willard dates back to 1913. Coffroth promoted a heavyweight tournament in California and Willard was called upon to fight Gunboat Smith twenty rounds. Smith was awarded the de cision. Willard declares that he out fought and outboxed Smith all the way and should have been awarded the decision. He has held this : againstjCoffroth ever ' .
