Says"dugs* aen THE SNOWS OF YESTER YEAR They've Hone and They Hate the Old Bleacliertte for Company. THERE haveV been many swift switches in baseball of late sea sons. The baseball has grown everything but rabbit ears. The um pires are guessing closer to decisions. • • • Home runs are becoming looser. Complimentary tickets are tighter. • • • Doubleheaders are unpopular. Rain Is no excuse. • • • Biggest change is in bleacher fans. They are disappearing like cake at a birthday party. The old two-bit fan passed forth several calendars ago. High price* sunk his boat. • • • He simmered up from two-bits to 50 megs. Now he Is hovering between life and 15 rents, wliicli is death to the poor bleacher bug. • • • Have you ‘piped the Giants' and Yanks’ new parks? Where are the bleachers? They are with Moses when the light went out. • • » There is just enough room at the Polo grounds for a little second-hand ed sunlight to filter through. Other wise the grandstands are built up closer than teeth on a buzzsnw. Name at the Yanks. Name all through the league. They are building their mez zanine traps completely around the parks, .lust leave enough of a crack in renter field for a toy bleachers. • • • They would build the stands around entirely, like a dislj surrounds soup, only the batter requires some open space back of the pitcher. • • • They will come close to making baseball almost as intrlcste ns grand opera by the time they get through looping up the prices. e • • Philadelphia was known as a cheap town because it was one of the last to have two-hit baseball. Of course. They still have U, nut they charge more. • • • But If a town is called cheap be cause It gives the hammer and*plck guy a chance to see rich errors and umpiring for a two hit slug, that's the town where wo want to live In the suburbs. • • • The hleacherite litis just about evap orated In New York. They haven't driven him Into the dollar stands. He ha* given up baseball altogether! • • • You can't squeeze calorie* out of a boiled tombstone. The average working man cannot afford to make mud pies even when it rains. • • • And lie was the old hleacher stu dent. When the prices go up like a bam roof in a tornado. It naturally wipes him off the cracked slate. Copyright. t»?S. Phillhin Claimed.

June 1 — Grey-haired John ny Kilbane of Cleveland. hoMer of the world’* featherweight box ing title for 11 year*, will defend il tomorrow aner noon at the Polo ground!) in a 16 round match with Eugene Criqui of France, champion of Europe at that weight. Criqui, a wounded veteran of the war. came to the United States buoyed by 22 consecutive victories by knock outs. Twenty-nine year* old. rugged, a clever boxer and a stiff punch< r with either hand, he has hopes of wearing down the veteran and taking the title. It is the same sort of cam paign that carried Kilbane to victory 'over Abe Attell for the title in a Cali fornia ring In 1912. Criqui today Is about seven years beyond the age of Kilbane when the Ohioian defeated Attell, but the gruelling test of the trenches during the war has made the Frenchman a relentless fighter. Criqui suffered serious wounds at Verdun. After his recovery he re turned to the ring and became a ter ror to featherweights all over Europe. Before the war he had been a fair boxer with no punch—after the war he was a great fighter and soon be came champion. ^ Kilbane has had little ring work duiing the last three years. In preparation for tomorrow's engage ment. he has. however, shown a good deal of speed and all his old time prowess with the glovSs.
