Back With Jolt With
the Yankees.

THE OMAHA SUNDAY REE: AUGUST 12, 1917.
.1
By JACK VEIOCK.
Xew York, Aug. 11. Wild Will
yum Donovan is no wild man when
it comes to swapping ball players if
the work of Armando Marsans, since
lie became a member of the Yankees,
,can be taken as a sample of Bill's
ability to pick a good one.
The fleet-footed Cuban gardener
faces the greatest opportunity of his
base ball career as a member of the
Yanks, and he is making good with
a vim. Since joining the Yankees his
hitting has suddenly become animated.
He hits with men on the corners, and,
within the month has reminded Amer
ican league pitchers that he is a mean
guy to pitch to.
The Cuban has been a vast im
provement over Lee Magee, whom he
supplanted in the Yankee gardens.
He is faster than Magee, if anything,
and appears to be a better judge of
a fly ball, while his work at the bat
far outshines that of the former
Federal league star with the New
York club. It took Marsans just one
week at the Polo Grounds to make
himself solid with Yankee fans, and
that Bill Donovan is absolutely satis
tied that he got the better of the
trade may be judged from Bill's re
cent declaration concerning his new
player. Said Bill:
" I never had any doubt that Mar
sans would make good. He is a
great ball player, one of the best in
the business, to my notion, but he
was not at his best in St. Louis be
cause he was not in the right en
vironment. 1 don't mean to say any
thing, detrimental to the Browns or
to St. Louis when I say this, but it is
a tact that the fans in the Mound City
got after Marsans when he slumped
with the bat, and because of his tem
perament he was unable to stand it.
"Marsans has always wanted to be
come a member of a New York club.
He has friends in the big town and
the surroundings are much more con
genial for him. New York fans gave
the Cuban lad a warm welcome when
he first appeared here with my club,
and he appreciated it. He showed his
appreciation by playing a better all
around game than he has played for
several years."
Opportunity for Leonard.
Little Benny Leonard, king of the
lightweights, enjoys visions of great
er opportunities for fame and for
tune than any boy who has ever worn
the lightweight crown.
The reason is Leonard's great pop
ularity, which has come to him be
cause of his methods as guardian of
the title. Leonard has proven to the
fistic world that he is a real cham
pion. He has a knockout punch and
he is willing to meet any body in the
world. He doesn't wrangle and
dicker for unreasonable purses, and
he doesn't attempt to detract from
the fighting reputations of any of his
challengers by refusing to meet them
in the ring.
Of course, his knockout victory
over Johnny Kilbane has been the
outstanding feature. He won more
praise and approval through knock
ing out the featherweight champion
than he got for beating Freddie
Welsh, and promoters in all parts of
the country are swamping him with
offers that date ahead as far as Jan
uary 1.
The purses offered to Leonard for
bouts from six to twenty rounds have
been many, yet the lowest bid he has
received has been a purse of $8,000
for another bout in Philadelphia with
some lightweight battler who can be
classed as a real contender. If Leon
ard is permitted to fill all the engage
ments that have been held forth to
liim, he will earn in the neighbor
hood of $100,000 before the first of the
year.
Big Crowds at Games.
If the war has killed base ball,
sonic of the monster crowds which
have turned out since the season
opened in the big leagues in April fail
to prove it. The Giants and Yankees
have both played to crowds of better
than 30,000, while in Chicago, Cleve
land Boston, St. Louis and Cincinnati
it is reported that crowds of from
10,000 to 15,000 or better, for import
ant games, have packed the parks this
summer. Cleveland recently boasted
a crowd of better than 25,000, which
is probably the largest crowd that has
turned out this season outside of New
York. It is nothing for the Yankees
ir Giants to play to 18,000 and 20,000
;n a Saturday.
Winter Horse Meeting
Is Assured for Havana
H. D. Brown, promoter of the Ori
;ntal Park race track in Havana,
Cuba, is making preparations for an
other winter meeting. He has de
cided to race for a period of ninety
five days, beginning early in Decem
ber. As New Orleans may not reopen,
Havana probably will be the only
place where the horses will run after
the fall campaign in Maryland ends.
Many tourists are expected to visit
Cuba next winter and the long race
meeting there will be unusually at
tractive, Brown believes. The Ha
vana track is one of the finest in the
world and the climate during Decem
ber, January and February is just
right for the sport of kings.
Irish Kickers Win Title
For Fifth Consecutive Year
The Brooklyn Celtic association
foot ball eleven won the champion
ship of the New York State league
for the fifth consecutive year during
the 1916-17 season. Its record for
the season was, played, twenty-nine;
won, twenty-five; lost, two; drawn,
two. The Irishmen scored eighty
seven goals and had nineteen scored
against them by opponents. They
lost in the American Football asso
ciation series to the West Hudson
team of Harrison, N. J., and were
eliminated from the national cup
series by the Bethlehem Steel com
pany team.
Retired Champ 'Believes the
Strangler is One Best Bet
of the Wrestling Talent
Now Engaged.
By RINGSIDE.
Chicago, Aug. 11. Frank Gotch,
former wrestling champion, has some
new aspirations. He no sooner sees a
new champion created than he
wants to knock him down and build
up a new one.
He likes Earl Caddock,- present
champion, and believes the Anita man
is a wonder, but because of the
lightness in poundage of the new star
he fears he will not last long as leader
of the heavyweight division.
"After looking over the field care
fully I am convinced there are three
men who have a grand chance of be
coming champions within the next
two or three years," Gotch said yes
terday during a flying trip to this city.
Of these men I believe Ed Lewis, the
Kentucky strong boy, has the best
chance of being turned into some
thing that would be unbeatable.
"Do you know that 1 would like
nothing better than to get Lewis for
a time and train him? Now, here's
a fellow that has a lot of good wrest
ling concealed about him, but for one
reason or another he is never willing
to display all his wares. I never
could quite figure it. Perhaps it is
tne remarkable cautious manner in
which his manager handles him.
"I've seen him in matches which he
could have won easily had he been
willing to display the least bit of ag
gressiveness. But he is always hold
ing off, afraid or unwilling to take a
chance. And his manager encourages
him in this stand. It is safety first
all the time with them. I cannot un
derstand it at all.
"In wrestling, as in all other games,
aggressiveness counts a great deal,
especially when it is displayed at the
right .time. There are times when a
waiting game is excellent judgment.
but not always. Why wait when you
know you have the other fellow
beaten?
"Zbyszko, the young Pole, is an
other great man, they tell me. I
haven't seen much of him, but from
what they tell me he is the chap who
is showing the real improvement. If
they mastered two holds the crotch
and the half Nelson the way I did
they would be wonderful men."
Kilbane Fooled Himself.
If you laid a bit of a wager on
Johnny Kilbane to beat Benny Leon
ard in Philadelphia you have a trifle
of consolation at least. You may
realize that while you were being
fooled, some of the supposedly smart
est minds in the world of boxing were
fooled right along with you.
Reference is made especially to
Kilbane himself; than whom there is
no smarter boxer in the world, in or
out of the ring, and his manager,
Jimmy Quinn, likewise a wise master
of situations and a conniver from way
back. They were as completely fool
ed by Leonard as anybody possibly
could be.
It was about this way when it come
time to gather in that nice bunch of
kale for a Leonard bout: Johnny and
his manager got together and taking
stock of all that they knew, past and
present, about Leonard, that the
match was an excellent thing for
Kilbane. You see, Johnny had boxed
Ben before. It happened some time
back, on April 29, 1915, to be exact.
Merely Gave Symptoms.
Leonard was a long way from being
a champion then. He merely gave
the symptoms of coming greatness.
They went the full ten rounds and
Johnny had a considerable shade.
Since that time Leonard went fast,
and time and again, when he was
boxed, Johnny and Jimmy merely
sauntered into New York to size him
up and see how good he was getting
to be.
The couldn't figure a great deal of
improvement in Benny and thus it
was that they made the match and
Johnny got a clip on the chin that
almost lifted him out of his shoes.
So if you were fooled and are looking
for sympathy, there you have it.
Leonard and White, you ask? Not
just yet, perhaps never. There'll be
scads of dough in sight for this, and
Benny is willing to battle, but it ap
pears that "good management" dic
tates something else just at this time
and White will have to wait. It would
be one of the most attractive matches
that possibly could be made.
There's one nice thing about the
Leonard-Kilbane match. It silenced
the croakers who had stamped it a
fake in advance.
Chapman Springs Brand
New Play on Connolly
During one of the recent games be
tween the Yankees and Indians at
Cleveland, Ray Chapman "put one
over" on Umpire Connolly, and it
must rank as entirely novel in base
ball.
Chapman reached first on a pass
and went to second when Speaker
bunted safely. Then he asked Con
nolly to calf time. Tommy obliged,
thinking the player had been injured.
Chapman than ran- back to first base
and held a conference with Speaker.
Connolly was so dumfounded at this
strange performance that he made no
attempts to chase Chapman back,
though the rules do not allow a player
to hold up the game in this way.
After the game Connolly admitted
that he had been the victim of an
unfair request and said he would v t
have permitted it had he known why
Chapman asked for time. It was a
new one on Bill Donovan after he
had spent more than twenty years in
the game.

Every club owner his own man

in the Western league.
Five club owners are now man
aging their own teams. Thev are l'a
Rourke of Omaha. Jack Holland of
Hutchinson, John Savage of Joplin,
Duckv Holmes of Lincoln and Frank
Isbel. of Wichita.
Rourke and Savage are the latest
recruits. Pa came back as a field man
ager when Marty Krug resigned be
cause he couldn't get the work out of
the players. Savage explains his pres
ence on the bench as a retrenchment
move pure and simple. He declared lie
could not afford to pay Jack Dalton
what he was worth.
Holland, Holmes and Isbell have al
ways had a poker in the fire. Holmes
and Isbell liave playing managers,
but they are little more than field cap
tains. Ducky and Frank give all the
real orders.
The Western league is already be
ginning to look forward to next year
and some of the magnates are wonder
ing what they will do. The present
circuit cannot stand, that is certain,
and the moguls are wondering where
they will be able to annex some new
territory.
Talk of Oklahoma.
There has been considerable talk
of adding Oklahoma City and Tulsa,
but the Western association, in which
these cities now hold franchise, are
reluctant to give them up, and the
association's consent must be obtained.
Peoria, another prospect, has gone
into the Central league.
Denver appears to be done as a
base ball town. A new spot for Hugh
Jones to light must be found. Hutch
inson is uncertain. It may deliver the
goods and it may not. The same ap
plies to St. Joseph. Joplin has had a
good year, but whether it will con
tinue to patronize its club is prob
lematical. And then Omaha, Des Moines,
Lincoln and Wichita haven't been
breaking any attendance records. All
four have lost money. Omaha, con
sidering its sire, has been the poor
est town in the loop with the excep
tion of Denver.
The Western league may close its
gates next year, but even if it doesn't,
it will have to find some new territory
some place.
John L Sullivan Tries Hand at
Trap Shooting; Does Poor Job
In the sunny southland, once upon a
time, a husky young fellow, a bat
tling Irishman who hailed from the
same town where the "Indian" of
long ago held their famous tea party,
won fame and many shekels and
smashed his name on Fistiana's roll
of honor as champion of champions
John Lawrence Sullivan.
Sully's career is no secret to those
whose mental menus include sport
sheets, but one battle John L. lost, a
mix-up wherein Paddy Ryan's con
queror was almost helpless, also hap
pened in the sunny southland, and is
unknown to many of the sporting
fraternity.
In San Diego, Ca!., recently this
same John L., now grown gray, was
a gurst of the Pastime Gun club, at
a trap matinee, and that afternoon
the birdies sure handed the old gladi
ator a gorgeous lacing.
A big crowd was out to see Sulli
van perform, and curiously enough
the old champion clouted the first
bird an awful poke. .
The railbirds gasped I Could it be
true was Jawn a gunman? Certain
ly his first slam had all the earmarks
of the knockout punch, and the crowd
awaited eagerly for his next swing.
But alas! One after another, as
they whizzed from the trap house, the
tarhawks ducked and skipped out of
danger, making their getaway with
such ridiculous ease that for once in
his life John L. Sullivan looked like
a sterling boob.
One string of twenty-five was
enough for the old gladiator, and at
its finish lie cheerfully acknowledged
that shooting dirtbirds and shooting
the K. O. punch were two entirely
different games. One lone bird, the
first he ever swung at, was knocked
out cold.
That was all. Great sport, John L.
said it was, and he promised to try
again, hoping, as in the days of yore,
to bring down more with his aim next
time.
Another heavyweight boxer this
one of the present day who is quite
a trapshooter is Frank Moran of
Pittsburgh, Pa. Moran has broken
over 80 per cent of his targets on a
number of occasions.
Griffith and Ed McKean
Talk Over the Old Times
It was a treat to be at Matt Hin
kel's in Cleveland the other night and
hear the conversation between Clark
Griffith and Ed McKean, former
Cleveland infielder. Griff called on
McKean just to talk over old times.
"How are you, young fellow,"
chirped McKean as he grasped the
Old Fox by the hand.
"You haven't changed a bit since
I was pitching. Remember how I
used to fool you with my slow curve,"
Griff retorted.
"Yes, you were always i good
pitcher. I'll say so."
"They don't go out and fight for
those ball games the way we did.
Eh, Ed?"
"I should say not. Do you remem
ber how we had to battle that Bal
timore bunch, and how Pat Tebeau
always carried along an extra pair of
shoes, for the Orioles slashed away
at a first baseman's foot if it was
near the bag?"
"I guess I do, all right. I had my
troubles in that town."
At this stage somebody started
an argument as which was the bet
ter second baseman, Bill Wamby or
Eddie Collins.
"I'd rather have had old Fred Pfef
fer than either of them," remarked
Griff.
"Biddy McPhce for mine," said
McKean.
"We won't argue, Griff, but either
of those old boys could show 'em
a few pointers about playing second."
"You win, Ed. Good night and
good luck."
This little tale is designed solely
to make Philadelphia bank presidents
jealous.
It is Johnny Evcrs financial re
port for three and a half seasons'
service as an employe of the Boston
National league club.
Unlike the ordinary mortal, a ball
player's working term is six months
instead of a year, so three and a half
seasons of ball tossing with the
Braves meant only a year and three
quarters of the time a grinder and
buffer clerk, lemon pool sharp, trust
president or elevator man puts in.
Yet in this brief time Johnny Evers
drew from the Boston ball club the
enormous sum of $67,312.28.
This is at the rate of $19,2,12.08 per
annum.
Faint, Charles Schwab. Gasp, Mr.
Gary. Croak, Jacob Schiff.
Evers signed a contract in 1914 that
the czar of Russia could never have

finished second, the sum of $1,500;
if third. $1,000. Evers collected a bon
us each year.
In his first year in Boston thi
Braves finished on top, so in addi
tion to the grand bonus of $25,000 for
signing and $10,000 for the year's sal
ary, he drew an extra $2,000 because
Boston won the pennant.
His world's series toot was a bag
atelle of $2,812.28, making his total
earnings for 1914 the sum of $39,
812.28. In 1915 the Braves finished sec
ond, and Johnny drew $10,000 in sal
ary and a bonus of $1,500, making
the total $11,500. Last year the
Braves fell to third, and Evers cashed
in $10,000 in salary and $1,000 in bon
us, making $11,000. '
This year Evers played virtually
a half year with the Braves and col
lected approximately $5,000. Of course
he will draw the rest of the $10,000
from the Phils at the end of the sea
son, but ye are dealing with his Bos
ton earnings alone.
His yearly earnings at Boston
therefore were: 1914, $39,812.28;
1915, $11,500; 1916, $11,000; 1917, $5,
000; total, $67,312.28.
