Great Lakes, 111., Aug. 4. Boxing, the great game of give and take, arouses more interest among the 12, 000 youths of the naval training sta tion here than any other sport Each Thursday night every embryo blue jacket who can possibly dodge any interfering duty hikes to a natural amphitheater near the lake shore to watch bouts that determine company or camp championships in all classes from bantams to heavyweights. Scores of high-class boxers have been developed. Unlike the profes sional game, aspirants are given try outs on merit alone. There are no "fat." purses to allure them they fight to defend their individual honors or the honors of their camp or com pany. Ihere is no stalling or broth' erly love tactics. Every round brims with red-blooded action. By elimination the best boxers in each class have been discovered, each of whom holds a championship belt presented for his weight by the busi ness men of Chicago. Newcomers and other aspirants, ,after proving their ability in the ring, are given an opportunity to challenge the cham pion for his title. ' Bouts of three twO' minute rounds each are held regu larly. A hi natural amphitheater, seating 3,000, is the scene of the bat tling, which is done in a regulation ring, under the personal direction of Gunner Jack Kennedy, former boxing- champion or the Atlantic fleet. Lightweight is Wonder. Wilbur Kendall, who hails from Kokomo. Ind., is declared by experts to be one of the classiest amateurs developed in years. Kendall, a light weight, was so far above the rank and file of boxers at the station that he tired of successfully defending his tile time after time and "retired." Bfiv- .ing the championshib belt to Na man favor, a Oalveston, Tex., boy. who had shown the most class among the aspirants. Joe Dowd, who received his first training in the amateur rings of Ni agara Falls, N..Y.,.and Detroit, is holding the featherweight title against all comers, while Steve Gunshaw, Wilkesbarre, Fa., is the best of the bantams. , William Krippendorf of Cincinnati, O., tops the list of heavyweights. He is a huge, powerful youngster of 20 years and promises to develop into I Jess Willard in size before he has at tained his full growt'i. Krippendorf has appeared in the station ring six times since he joined the navv. and only once was an opponent able to hold him even. He scored four tech nical knockouts and earned one de cision. Coaxed Into Ring. Krippendorf is not a born fighter. If he was, Gunner Jack Kennedy, who is in charge of the glove men, wouldn't have had to coax htm into the roped arena. It wasn't that Bill was afraid. He simply didn't khow how easy it was for him to box. The Willard of the station at pres ent is laid up with a sprained ankle, sustained when he attempted to chase an opponent around the ring in a re cent bout. He expects to be back in the game in a few weeks to match clouts with all comers. Other glittering luminaries in the lightweight division at the naval sta tion are Maurice Flynn and Eddie Nearing, Chicago. Flyhn, before he enlisted, fenerally was considered a comer in the lightweight ranks, and Gunner Kennedy hopes to make him lightweight champion of the navy. Nearing in his day had few trials in his division. Everybody is a boxing fan at the station, from the greenest recruit to Commandant Moffett himself. Wallace returned to the major leagues as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals. July 12 Cincinnati won a double header from the Giants in New York, the scores being 2 to 1 and 5 to 1.

PAT MORAN MAKES NINE FROM MISFITS Phillie Leader Accomplishes Wonders in Whipping Quak ers Into Winning Combination. Every once in a while some one wonders why Pat Moran of the Phillies isn't considered one of the greatest of baseball managers, there by giving Pat more consideration for what fie has done than any other man in baseball. Pat, in fact, is the recipient of more favorable publicity than any other man in the two major leaaues. No one ever writes or says anything bad about him. He always is referred to as a jolly Irishman, ready to talk and smile while he s doing it. Hot Race With Giants. Moran's accomblishments this vear. in throwing his team into a hot race with the Giants for the leadership of the National league, is worthy of more consideration, perhaps, than any stunt he has pulled since he supplanted Charley Doom as leader ot the Quakers. He has done more with a team of hasbeens and misfits than the New York Giants have accom plished with a high' salaried team of stars. The Giants were expected by a ma jority of critics to have it all settled and laid away along about this date. But they haven't done it yet, and indi cations right now point to anything but a pleasant journey for Herzog et al. the rest of the season. Good Showing for "Misfits." Pat Moran's infield, composed of ancient Fred Luderus. Castor! Bert Niehoff, Rookie McGaffigan, or Com petent Dave Bancroft, and Castoff Milton Stock, is the main reason why, when rated alongside Grover Alexander. These two things, backed with the comeback of Gavvy Cravath, the continued good baseball of Dode Paskert and George Whitted, tell why the Phillies are whooping things up. The Phillies would not be so good in a world series as the Giants, for the Giants consist of men who would be practically unbeatable in a world's series. But it's going to take a lot of baseball and a lot of hard fight ing to keep Pat Moran from taking the race right down into the home stretch. Next year Pat will- b counted a stronger factor. Harry Wolverton to Retire From Sport of the Diamond Harry Wolverton, deposed Seal manager, has confided to friends that he is through with base ball. He is reported as negotiating for a large farm within a short distance of San Francisco and will oass the rest of his days back on the soil. If Wol verton goes througn witn tne plans base ball will lose a noted figure. Since he broke in away back in 1895 he has been a prominent figure. As a third baseman in active service he won fame as a hitter and his record as a manager does him credit Division Standing oj Teams WESTERN LEAGUE.lNATIONAL LEAGUE. W. L. Pet W. L. Pet.
