SAN FllANCIBCO, July 2B.-Bob Mo
AlUster, the Idol of tbt Olymplo club and
the most sensational amateur boxer de
veloped In Baa Francisco In many year.
l to M put to a thorough teit at last
Bob la signed to meet Sailor Pctroskey
In a twenty-round bout at Coffroth's
Eighth street arena on the night of
August S and, win or lose, the experience
la cure to prove an exciting one for the
former mug hunter.
It will be In the nature of a clash be
tween a gymnasium-taught athlete and
a lingman from nature's mold. McAl
lister has had all the beneflta of tuition
from high-salaried professors and all the
adrantagea of modem equipment in the
line of training appliances and massage
treatment. Fetroakey merely knows what
he picked up whllo In the navy and for
years bad no better opportunity of con
ditioning himself than were afforded dur
ing his "watch below."
It la different now. lie has severed
connection with Uncle Ham and knows
what it Is to hit up the rood, to have
elbow room sufficient to take a smash at
a swinging bag. lie has sampled the de
lights of sprawling on a rubbing table
while a couple of rough-house masseurs
kneaded his flosh and he has acquired a
punch that Is positively sinful In Its
effect when It speeds truly.
Held Hack hy Friend.
It took, a long time for Bob McAllister
to make up his mind to tuttUo the twenty-round
game, but that was more the
fault of all too apprehensive friends than
anything else. That "100,O30,0CO baby" we
he&r of occasionally was nevor coddled
along as was ex-Amateur Champion Bob
McAllister, and It Is little wonder that he
picked over the traoea in the long run.
One adviser was sure that it would be
a fatal mistake It Bob were allowed to
sign up for anything longer than four
rounds until he had met all manner of
good opponents and become thoroughly
.seasoned! to the rigors and excitement of
milling In public
Another thought that maybe after a
year or two Bob might extend hla ltrait
to six rounds, while another was sus
pected of being a snake In the grass be
cause be bluntly hinted that it Bob could
not undertake a ten-round journey he
ought to aslc for reinstatement as an
amateur.
Mow Bob Is booked for a twenty-round
trip and the public, which practically
turned 1U back upon him because of his
apparent partiality for bob-tailed bob, Is
ready to take him to Its arms again.
Wonder aa an Amatear.
In his amateur days McAllister wa
Cutely a wonder, livery bout that ho fig
ured In was woefully one-Bided, and when
It finally began to appear that a match
would never bo found for him among
"gentleman boxers" the handlers of pro
fessional matches began to sot thnlr
snare for the dashing Olympian.
MoAlUater'a last appearance as an ama
teur was at the Olymplo club when the
veteran Australian pugilist. Tommy
Tracey, brought Ted Darhyshlre aU the
way from Portland, Ore., to take a crack
tt Bob, For all that Darbyshire accom
plished he might have been some yokel
taking his Initial lesson in sparring. It
was aulte a relief whon, Tracey, with
chagrin stamped all over hla face, leaped
Up on the ring ledge and waved a towel
as an Indication that the thing had gone
far enough.
Ills Professional Experience.
Then came the announcement that Mc
Allister had resolvod to turn "pro" and
there was a lot of speculation as to who
would bo hla first opponent. Ho met
WiUlo Meehan at Oakland and crowded
more punches Into each three-minute
spell of boxing than is sometimes seen in
an entire evening of fighting.
After Meehan, Faddy Lavin took a
whirl at Robert and finished a poor sec
ond, and then Bailor Le Grande cams
along and gave McAllister the stiffen
argument be had to far encountered. Tho
Lo Grande affair showed that McAllister
possessed, better qualities of assimilation
than tho experts gave htm credit for.
Le Grande, who Is built on battering
Tam principles, gave McAllister an oc
casional wallop around the midriff and
Bob did not appear to be seriously af
fected by these eolld body smashes.
There Is Just cne department of tho
gama In which Bob la thought to be de.
flc'lent. The suspicion exists that 'ho
lacks In punching force. The strango
thing about It is that no fault was found
with him In this direction when be was
an amateur, but aa some one observed,
ha never had anything to do with rook
ribbed, hard-headed fellows until bo
threw ia hla lot with the professionals.
One Great Fault.
A fault the writer found with McAllis
ter is that he carried with htm into the
professional ,game the amateurish trick
of volleying with the left Instead of cut
ting down the humber of hla deliveries
and Infusing more power into the re
mainder. There never waa an amateur
yet at least a clever one who did not
Ilka to show how many times he could
pop a left between an opponent's eyea
and in the generality of cases these re
peated visitations carry no more ttlng
than Jabs of a lady's powder puff.
There was less of this kind of thing
about McAllister when he fought Le
Grande tban there waa m his other pro
fessional matches, and tt may be that he
will abandon the practice gradually. He
has rcutcl and leverage and looks like
the kind of fellow that might administer
hurtful blows If he would only time and
measure his man occasionally.
Anyhow the coming event will be Mc
Allister official tryout aa a professional.
It wflr be an affair la which, he can't af
ford to make any mistakes, for PetrosSey

to end the entire proceedings the Instant

NEW Yortrr jui ? ....i t
the hustling president of lh. inin,.n...i

organized Daso ball. He Is thoroughly
progressive In his views and actions,
and he wields tho blr ntlrV witt, .t...
mlnatlon and foresight Under his regime
mo international league has prospered
greatly and minor leasua bann hull in
general has shared that prosperity.
untiring effort of Barrow Is
largoly duo tho fact
powerful minor leagues are gradod higher
than had boon tho case before he as
sumed office. The more exalted rating
carried with It any number of advan
tageous privileges. The class A.A. Hi, I,.
are not only better protected In every
oui me new order of things made
compulsory a revision of ni
Privilege all the way down the lino from
mo iwo major circuits to th nn.i
scure "brush" organizations. in short
a new working agreement had to bo
framed; a more up-to-date peace pact,
" 11 wore.
Will Pool tho Players.
Barrow has already dono nultn nnmiirh
for minor league base ball to establish
his namo as a real champion of tho
cause. But he Is not a man who Is con
tent to live on reputation. He purposes
next year to Inaugurate the most rad
ical changes In the hope of solving the
principal disadvantages undor which tho
big family of the national pastime now
tons. Barrow" has tho nervo to try a
scheme which,. If successful, la bound to
do no lesa than revolutionize tho admin
litratlon of the game.
Tho players of tho International league
next spring will be pooled at the spring
schedule meeting after they have all been
put under contract. The various mag-
natea will cast lots for flrat choice
They will draw for tho varloua prises of
the circuit. Barrow believes that In this
way and only In this way will It bo pos
sible to distribute tho talent as evenly
as possible among the various club own
ers. Ho believes that such a course will
result In a much better balanced organ
ization. That every team will have a
chance for tho pennant and that the re
sulting closer competitions should prove
mora Interesting to random In general
and more remunerative to the magnates.
If tho International league club owners
have the nervo to Indorse tho scheme of
their president, It will at least assure a
fine trial of the proposed remedy for
many of the present drawbacks of the
game. Tho experiment should be worth
a great deal for advertising purpoaea
atone. It would attract more attention to
tho International league than to either
of the big leagues. The whole country
would be Interested In tho outcome and
no one would .watch the results with
greater Interest than tho powers of tho
two major leagues.
Theory Appears Sound.
Barrow's theory apears a most sound
one. 80 far It is only theory. If It
would stand the acid test In tho minor
league It Is a certainty It would be wel
comed In the big show. There Is no more
discouraging element la the promotion of
major league base ball than the seeming
Inability of second division clubs to se
cure competent talent. The Now York
American club Is a very good Illustra
tion of this. In the last five years Frank
Farrell has spent fortunes trying to build
up a losing club. Today It la right where
It waa In 1908 away back In the ruck.
All ills money has been thrown away.
There Is absolutely no sentiment In base
ball. Not a rival manager would give
Frank Chanco a worn out bat bag It he
thought It would serve later to help the
Peerless Leader win. a game from him.
It Is almost Impossible to dig major
league class from the bushes. Talent boa
to bo developed. Tb.re la a dearth of
material not enough good playera to go
round And naturally minor league cluba
with something to sell prefer to do busi
ness with the successful major outfits,
not beoauae the market Is any better,
but because of the fact that their stars
ara more likely to be turned back again
at some sort of sound profit
Ills Lvesue Evade Law.
The principles of organized bass ball
are quite sound and Just enough. But
there ara too many loopholes for evasion.
Even the roster limits are not conacton
tlously observed. In spite of the National
Commission's vigilance wholesale "farm
Ing" continues. Every big league club
has a raft of embryo stars "covered up" aa
an emergency reserve. Nothing can be
done to stop It Playera who might help
the wtaker clubs ara kept on the benches
of the flag contenders or planted out
somewhere In such a manner that they
are safe from the dragnet of rivals.
If It should be proven by fair trial that
Bd Barrow's Idea Is practical, then
would bo solved not only one of the
greatest puzstsa of the promoters, but
one of the greatest Ills of the players, aa
weu. By the some stroke would be can
celled the necessary evil of tho reserve
clause, which has threatened con
gresslonol Investigation of base ball aa a
trust Base ball contracts as at present
constituted are IlleguL They are not
equitable. A player jnay be discharged
on ten days' notice: he Is bound for" ath
letic life to the club with which he signs
through the Instrument of reserve. That
no greater Injustice result la due largely
to the broad-mindedness of the National

In All Directions.
Connie Mack's White Elephants pace
setters In. the race for the American
league pennant havo averaged nearly six
runs to tho game. In the first seventy-
one contests In which they participated
the Mackmen crossed the plate 404 times,
errors of the opposition helping them to
fcrty-nlne counters and battery mlsplaya
of their adversaries enabling them to
acquire ten tallies. Eleven markers were
secured through tho medium of steals,
leaving 334 runs that tho Athletics ac
tually batted tn.
Mack has a splendid quintette of timely
hitters In Frank Baker, Jack Mclnnls.
Eddie Collins, "Rube" Oldrlng and Jack:
Barry, the best of the lot according to
the records, being Baker. The mauling
Marylander has hammered home, sixty-
two tallies, and If he keeps on hitting
In the pinches as he has been doing will
possibly set a new record for the Amer
ican league In driving in runs. "Stuffy"
Mclnnls ranks second as a timely hitter
among tho Mackmen. Ho has put tho
finishing touches to fifty tallies. Eddie
Collins, with forty-one, ranks third and
Oldrlng and Barry are tied for the fourth
position, each with thirty-eight runs
batted home and Strunk Is a fine sixth,
with thirty counters driven In to hla
credit. In fact all the Mackmen havo
been hitting In the pinches, which la
the principal reason the team shot to
the fore and has stayed there.
Even Ensign Cottrell, a slabman who
was never accused of being a heavy hit
ter,' batted valiantly while ho waa with
the Athletics.- Ho took port only in ono
full gome, but In that contest he cleared
the bases of their three Inhabitants with
a double.
