SfACGHTOfc. ; SAX FRANCISCO. Aug. 17 "On by bno tbey wander from us," ia the refrain of an old song that treats of the deser tion of the old homestead by successive members of the family. With a few simple changes the ditty woull adapt Itself ti the whits hope situation. -.First Carl Morris, and now Luther Mc Carthy; whom Billy McFarney. with flashing eyes and awe'Ii-ig breast, de clared would one day grow so famous ttsi his name would become a hou e hold word. - - . .The New York critics let Luther down easy. When Jim Stewart out-fought the Us. no vice at every stage of a ten round tout, they said McCarthy held out promise of Improvement 1. Avaunt. and avast with such Insincere .twaddle. The white hope who has failed under trial. , but who (a "going to do better. - when he - has a tight or , two ttnder. his belt," is In a clsa with the 'jaded champion who la "xulnic to the mountains to recuperate.' He "Is s tnlXMy unsafe proposition. Ik goes to show that cfter all fllhllnj 'J' ft trade. The fsbter who Is bora and not made, Is a scares specimen of 'btroanlty. ... "1 " In tho light of what la happening the saylngi of Philadelphia Jack O'Brien and tJaek Johnson teem epigrammatic. ; " can lick sny man who has not h4 two years experience In the prof ea-, clonal ring." remarked Philadelphia John Sprier to his fan Francisco go with At .Kaufman. , -. .. ' wPalser is not ripe ye," said Champion Johnson, when asked at Las Vt (al whether he regarded Palier In the light f a possible opponent There wis that the tone which suggssted that John- oa considered Falser sn easy mark, bill alt that the big lowan would have to its coddled along a bit further to stimu late publlo interest and Increase the pros pects of a large attendance. The trouble 'with white hopes Is that they are eg. jplolted mainly on their dimensions, and before they have accomplished anything !to speak of. SIse and strength and the power to smite, are merely fundamental (qualities for a cub heavyweight They are next to useleu until he has acquired (a ring education, which, during almost 'ny generation of pugllsts, is ft hard (thing to acquire. V r , . Hard Mew .to Beat. , The woods are full of men. who, while they, lack real championship - require' ; 'inentt, are plenty good enough to ahatt .r the dreams of the hopes. A dosen years 'ago, Joe Choynskl, Kid MoCoy and .few others ware the watch-dog and 'trail horses of the heavyweight division. Today wt have Jim Flynn and Jttn 'Stewart ' .' They are hard fellows to get by. A beating by one of them has a double ef fect Inasmuch as it sets a novice back, and at the same time discourages him. This is made apparent in the case of Carl Morris. ' Before he tackled Jim FJynn. there was no such word as tall 1n the bright lexicon of the stalwart CVJahoman. Since then he haa been a iuark for every man he boxed. JUan Francisco just now Is interested in the fortunes of White Hope Charlie Miller, whom Coffroth has signed for a twenty-round bout with Jim Flynn at Ualy City on Labor day. .Miller has had an entirely different experience from hit brother hopes. There was no , booming of brass bands and prophecies of futurs greatness when Charlie butted into the game. No story of bis life was published, illustrated with : protographs of him at the agea of 4, 17 and 23 years. He was 'simply regarded as' a good-natured loon who frequented every training quarter of the great in pugilism, because he seemed !to like being thumped. ' ' ; Some fighters who, are anxloua to test ithelr fuH; hitting power while under preparation, cause their partners to wear (pneumatic body guards. There Wna no occasion to do that when Miller volun Iteeted for duty. The harder he was hit the-better he appeared to relish it a fact (that Stanley Ketchel and others were often called to. explain when spectators (remarked that Miller was being subjected to- snnecessary punishment ' t4 Miller Is Immaae. . ' U la . something in a heavyweight's favor to be immune to stiff smashes, and jthlg Miller certainly it. No matter what kind of a swing or drive Flynn may in flict. Miller will have : felt the counter ifirt of It at some time In fail career, and, fyt;fhjit matter, .be will have sampled a 'few; punches that Flynn Is not master of. .'This means that being etruck solidly an often will not dive Miller attcn ;Uon from the. main issue of the bout to the: extent It would if . he were unac customed to being under bombardment. - Flynn's signing with Miller la an ex. amplification of the ups and downs of pugilism. A month ago Flynn was up aiunsi tne greatest fighter in the world h now he is to box the least known of trie neavies. As Flynn thinks that with r-Gh'neon out of it, he is the one best n- titled to. wear the championship toga, he wilt have to, defeat Miller signally, or :oe """ an awfut slunm in Brent!.. - Mliler. who Is anything but boauul.

Perkins and other financiers In the establishment of a "rest etfre sa the eeneral lines of that run by William Mul- dyon, whither may repair tired states men ana others in need of building up, By W. J, MACBETH. NEW TOBK. Aug. It-So-called "luck of the arame is doubtless responsible for the suporstltutlons of the geneial run of players. Few, Indeed, of all the grear trmy connected with- the national pas time, are those who reason after the fashion of the unemotional Connie Mack. "There Is no such thing as luck," says Connie, "or If (here Is, It certainly equal Ixes during a campaign. No one team Is favored by luck, I mean. You will win just as many games through "breaks" as you lose and no more during a long schedule. The championship team some times looks luckier than Its rivals. That Is because the players make their luok good Just aa a discouraged array always mskes its luck bad.' Connie Mack Is ft pretty wise general. and in all probability knows exactly what he la talking about Anyhow, he can get away with it so far as we are concerned. There may be no such fortune as good luck from the playing and managerial ends of the nation's summer sport Tet how about luck In base ball promotion7 There you will find Hick and oodles of it Almost without exception , every ma jor league majrnato before the public at tbo present time can thank his lucky starr. He may let on be Is a martyr, risking his money through dvio patriot ism, but there are no financial martyr In this base hall age at commercialism. Every big Itasuo president Is out. for the kale. He wouldn't remain president long If he ' thought there was no chance to gather. , The Angers of na two hands wouldn't be enough to tell the lucky magnates of the National and American leagues. . Un fortunately, there Is always the exception thai prove.? the rule. Wo wl.l consider for moment one of, the "tough luck" disciples of diamond dives, John Mont gomery Ward. . - v Mr. Ward but recently severed his con nection with the Boston National league club. He Was president of the luckless Na tional leatnie tallendcrs for less than one year. Ward sold his holdings to Jim Gaff ney, maporlty stockholder whom Ward had first Interested In the Hub proposi tion last December. He. Is through with base, ball for good. It Ward had had absolute control ' of the Hubbiles It i doubtful If anything could have driven him to cover. He would have hung on until he built tip a better club and that would have meant the greatest Imagin able financial success.'' Not another man In the United States merits more from base .ball than John M. Ward, retired from the Boston club. Here Is ft man who has been ft great credit to the game,' One of the most for nildftble pitchers and Inflelders of the old days, he served his apprenticeship also as ft manager. Yet he retirqd voluntarily at tia height of his power to study law, He became ft Very fine lawyer and built up ft wonderful practice in New York, where lawyers are said to find the toughest sledding in the whole country. John M. Ward has worked hard at his practice. He deserved a rest and some of the good things of base ball. That he is again ori the outside, looking In, simply proves be yond question that there is tuck and all kinds of it In base ball promotion. Take Charles W. Murphy of the Cubs, in direct opposition to Ward, Murphy Is a millionaire today. ' He owns -several theaters in Chicago aa well as rich real State property. All this has been ac cumulated within the lost ' seven years without the outlay of a penny. Murphy was Just lucky enough to get the tip that the Chicago club was for sale. . He got the backing from Charles P. Taft and bought for 1105,000 a club that at that I- i iii . f i . . . ,'i ' i , - . . l. - ..- . y ...... - - . w v . V'i ' .

Murphy (Inset), president of the Chicago National league club. . John M. Ward is the leading tough luck disciple In the financial end of base ball, President Murphy of the Cubs is known as the luckiest of the moguls. A lucky tip gave him, control of the Cubs, things broke his r way. and he made a million with, ft perfeot cineh.,.; i. time was wrth fully . 1506,000. Murphy tumbled right into a pennant his first year, Frank Chance has made history with the club Selee built up. Yet Murphy was the lucky fellow to fall into such a capable manager for such a capable club. Murphy doesn't begin to have tho busi ness intelligence or base ball acumen of John It Ward. Luck made Murphy a howling success; John M. Ward to put It mildly as possible- disappointment. Clark Griffith la another example. The Old Fox )s Just now for the first time beginning Jo appreciate the delights Of real fortune. Griffith's managerial ex periences with the New York Highlanders and Cincinnati. Beds proved one disap pointment after another. Twice he missed American league pennants for New York by the scantiest of margins. He never had a bad team, nor yet a capable one. Cincinnati newspapers have driven many a good manager out of Garry Herrmann's town. They rode Griffith to death ft year ago made his life ao miserable that he raced to the first port of refuge, That happened to be Washington. Washington had always been the joke , of big leigue base ball an habitual tallendcr. Griffith raised every cent he possibly could com mand and' bought heavily of the olub stock. Ha is the largest individual stock holder of the Senators. He gambled his earnings for the privilege of freedom of control In managerial affairs. Griffith's work this year has vindicated him. Wash ington is right up there with a chance to win the pennant, Griffith is fixed for life with ft fine paying prorositlon. - l-k Fin Two IteerolU. "Two new find of Connie M-irk are Robert Stevenson, the University of Minnesota star, and Jerry Bulanger. an t&-yeir-old school boy pitcher from Mas. l&ihiKM"tts. gtevensnn recently broke a ig while playing semi-pro. ball In Mln-fi-wfa, s4 csaaut report ..until nett NEW YORK, Aug., lT.-Many. are the odd experisncea the base, ball managers and scouts have had with new players, some of whom are, attacked by stage fright or some other sort of fright aa they approaoh a big city where they Know they will have to face ft larger crowd than any that has , aeen their lesser league work. . One of the funniest of these experiences was that of one of Connie Mack's scouts,, who went after Joe Jackson, the outfielder,' who subse quently Joined the Cleveland team. Jackson's ball' playing, was the outcome of games in the Bouth Carolina cotton mills' district, where the rivalry is keen and the quality of play not Infrequently surprisingly good.' He played on ft small town ttam represunting the mill prior to the discovery by one of Connie Mack's scouts that the barefooted boy was prom ising. Osale Schreckongost, the former Athletic catcher, who became famous as the receiver of the erratic Bube Waddell when the big left-hander was in his prime, was the scout who, 8outh Caro linians say, found Joo Jackson. t . Wmm m Yoa'tr" lloy, ' . Jackson at that time was playing on the Orernvllte, 8. C, team; and was its best batsman and leading run-getter. It was while with the Pirdmont Mills out fit thai he manager of the Greenvills team aaw. him play. He was a country boy then, playing base ball and pd-klng Uj his schoolings wherever he could. , ' Down In Newsb?rry, 8. C, where are the Mcllohon Mills, they say that it took thre railroad - trips to get Jackson, to Phllalelphla, where he played, for, a brief period with the Philadelphia Athletic At that time thj boy had .never been In ft city of more than ,50,009 population, and It Is said that be was mortally afraid of the big town. The Athletics' scout In the first attsmpt to get Jackson north suc ceeded: In piloting "si.a as far as Char lotte, N. C; when the boy decided he had gone far enough, and, leaving the, train, he successfully hid from Schreckengost A day later the boy showed up in the riedmont-country. ' ' i r :; , "What's the ; matter. . Jee; don't you want to be fttbig leaguerr the surprised friends of the youni star asked. 'No: the big places are too big. Pet ter, Piedmont and Newberry just about suit me." was the gist of his answer, and the next afternoon he wan slamming out three-baggers and home runs for the mills team. . ; - file Sroat the 81ls. A few days passed and the Athletics' scout returned to find out why Joe had given htta the slip In Charlotte. Joe Baker .
