' In the middle went they are hailing
Harry Greb of Pittsburgh city as the
next holder of the middleweight
championship. Since the death of Les
Darcy the title has unanimously been
awarded to Mike Gibbons, but in the
smoky city they declare that Greb
will take the cnwn away from the
"St. Paul Phantom" the first time
that Gibbons agrees to give him a
return bout.'
Recently Greb outnointed Dillon
in ten fast rounds m Pittsburgh, and
ever since the experts in Pittsburgh
have been convinced that Greb can
take Gibbons "into camp." Gibbons
and Greb met some time ago in
Philadelphia and ever since, it is
charged. Gibbons has been side step-
fing another meeting with the Pitts
urgh middleweight.. It is admitted
that uren is not as clever as Oibbons;
that he cannot box ira the same class
with Gibbons, but it is contended that
Greb s aggressiveness and his speed
will discount Gibbons' jabbing ability;
it will offset Gibbons' left haniV-the
hand thai has won many big purses
lorMike.
The "arrival' of Greb has stirred
a bit of interest in the middleweight
situation and it would not be surpris
ing if the promoters ; around the
country started bidding shortly tor
such a match. It is understood that
promoters have already made several
lucrative offers to Gibbons to invade
s.L. bnenu.1 eA ami ool Ita itfnrito
but that Mike has stubbornly refused
to consider any of the offers.

Amateur Sport Flourishes
In the Mexican Capital
Mexico City, Aug. 10. That ama
teur sport is flourishing in the Mexi
can acpital is shown by the fact that
there are 102 organized amateur base
ball nines in the city and its suburbs
and over fifty soccer foot ball teams.
The season for alt varieties of sport
in Mexico ( htsts twelve months a
year, as the climate permits play at
all times. Even during the rainy sea
son the mornings are almost always
clear and sunshiny and the nature of
the soil and the high dry atmosphere
makes delay on account ot wet
grounds almost unknown.
No regular league series are play
ed by the base ball clubs but short
series between three or more selected
teams are arranged from month to
month. The games usually are played
Sunday morning or on feast days and
holidays and as a general things no
admission is charged.'
Many of the larger athletic clubs
and colleges and professional schools
have three or four teams each, the'
first team drafting players from the
lesser teams as they are developed.
EASTERN PROS TO
ENTER OPEN EVENT
L.
Tom McNamara Declares ' All
Prominent Professionals in
Country Will Compete
,in Western Tourney.
em Amateur Golf championship
tournament the only important golf
championship of the year in the
United States, as the United States
Golf association cancelled its tourna
ments on account of the war, leaving
Chick Evans to hold over his dual
titfe. All the eastern professionals
and several leading amateurs, accord
ing to Tom McNamara, of New York,
former champion, will meet at the
Westmoreland club, Chicago, on Sep
tember 12 to 14 to contest for the
open title. '
When Francis Ouimet, recognized
as an amateur by the Western Golf
association, captured the amateur
title at Midlothian recently following
the decision of the United States Golf
association to abandon championship
play, further attentron was called to
the- open meet planned by the western
body for September., This event has
for several years been a national af
fair, and the title was captured last
year by Walter Hagen of Rochester
at Milwaukee, with Jack Hutchinson
then of Pittsburgh and George Sar
gent of Minneapolis tied for second
place and James Barnes of Philadel
phia ctcse behind. The title in 1915
was carried off by Tom McNamara,
then of Boston, with Alex Cunning
ham of Wheeling, W. Va., in secopd
place and Sargent, Hagen and M. J,
Brady of Boston, next in order after
the seventy-two hole contest at Glen
Oak club, Chicago.
East Predominates.
The western open title has not been
won by a western , Golf association
territory player, except Smith - and
Hutchinson, since it was made a
medal ply affair five year ago, and
in all the tournaments there has been
a larger representation of eastern par
golfer than of westefn players of a
similar ratinsr.
There have not, been as many
scratch amateur players entered, how
ever, as there have been in the na
tional open meets, although Charles
Evans, jr., National Amateur and
Open champion, won the event in
1910 at Beverly club, Chicago, when
the play was at match. The premier
amateur of America, then only 20 years
old, made low medal of 71 and de
feated George Simpson, Chicago pro
fessional, in the final round 6 and 5.
Evans competed at Glen. Oak two
years ago, but was off hisgame and
did not make a showing.
Ouimet to Enter.
While the peit has been more
strictly a professional championship
than the National Open meet, it is
likely that Ouimet will compete this
year. The Boston amateur, who won
the National Open title by defeating
Harry Vardon and Edward Ray in
1913, said he intended to play in the
coming Westmoreland tournament,
unless unforeseen contingencies pre
vented. He is reported to be among
the first ones drawn in the selective
draft lottery, and this may prevent his
participation.
Evans, early in the season, decided
to devote his golfing activities this
year to playing for the benefit of the
Red Cross and similar war organiza
tions, but he may yet decide to enter;
Robert Gardner, twice National Ama
teur champion, has enlisted for war
service and will not compete. Tom.
McNamara, as spokesman for many
eastern professionals, while attending
the amateur championship play at
Midlothian said: - - '-.
"All the best eastern professionals
and, I believe, a goodly number of
amateurs, will be at Westmoreland
for the open tournament. Colfers in
the east are pleased with the stand of
the Western Golf association in stag
ing tournaments feeling as President
Thompson of that body said, that
'golf keeps men perpetually and pleas
antly prepared.' In addition, as en
try fees and ordinary cost of cups are
given to the Red Crosi, the playert
feel that they are doing their bit for
the country by playing in the meets.
Of course cash prizes are to be
awarded at tht open championship,
but likely these sums will be turned
over for war purposes by the win
ners; and, in any event, the leading
golfers will be carrying out Presi-
hdent Wilson's idea that athletics
should be kept up."
Cardinal Park Haven for
Hurlers With Quick Throw
Observations of an umpire are al
ways interesting as throwing new
angles on things that come up in
baseball. .Here is one by Umpire Pete
Harrison of the National league:
"I have never looked up any figures
on the matter," he said, recently'but
it is my belief that more runners are
caught napping off first base in the
Cardinals' park than on any other
grounds in the league. If this is so,
it is because of the nature of the soil
around the bag. The ground at this
particular spot is soft, and gives
easily, so that it does not afford a
runner good footing. A man takes a
long lead off, the pitcher throw to
the bag, the runner digs back and the
soil gives way with him, delaying hhn
for a fraction of a second, just long
enough for the first baseman to put
the ball on him.
"I have, seen this happen on in
numerable occasions, ana I know of
one pfeyer in particular, a player re
cently released by the Cardinals, who
must have been leading the league in
being caught off first '. the time of his
release."
Evans Asks Exemption
; To Complete Education
' Joe Evans, third baseman of the
r Cleveland Americans, whose draft
number was among the early ones
drawn at Washington for the new na
tional army, has riled his application
for exemption. Evans has one year
rnore to go in order to finish his med
ical course and asked that he be ex
empted for the present. When he
finishes his course, he hopes to join
the army medical department.
Terry McGovern and McCoy
Make Recruiting Speeches
Terry McGovern and Kid McCoy
are doing their "bit"- for Uncle Sam
down in New York. The two fighters
spend a great deal of their time boost
ing the army and navy and are work
ing hard to enlist recruits. They ap
pear at boxing exhibitions and make
speeches to the fight fans urging them
to enlist -They do not use flowery
language, but their plain outspoken
words seem to be obtaining results
from followers of the fistic art.
Nig Clarke Tries to Hide
Identity in Joining Navy
Modeit Justin (Nig) Clarke, fdr
mer, American league catcher, enlisted
in the marines at Detroit without dis
closing his identity and it was some
time later that the recruiting officers
learned they had captured such a
notable. When Nig was told that a
little celebration was to be held in
his honor at the Detroit ball park he
protested, vigorously, but they made
him gp through with it.
Soldier Team Scores
, ; Victory Over Firemen
The base ball team of Company A,
Sixth Nebraska, defeated the city
firemen, ,15 to 9, Friday.
The soldiers are very much elated
over their victory. The team had
been .organized only a week and had
very little practice owing to press eof
military duties.
Red Sox Score Over Browns;
Drill Given Before Game
' St. Loui3, Aug. 25. The Boston

Chicago, Aug. 25. With theWcst-
"Some cf the dubs of the fistic whirl
of today clean up as much money s
the champions of the past."
That was the remark made by one
of the "modern" promoters a few days
ago when discussing possible attrac
tions for his arena m Wisconsin. In
this connection, it is worthy of note
that the promoter who voiced this se;- ,
timent is not one of the kind who
may be placed in the class called
"crabbers." He's been going along !
with his bouts for several years, or.
in fact, ever since the game became
legalized in Wisconsin. He has p&jd
Out what the scrappers demanded and
seldom has been able to force them. J
to cut down on their end once.the,
boxers had been guaranteed a certajn
percentage or a certain amount of
money for their services.
Stands Loss Without Complaint.
lf.it is true the promoter hasn't
reaped any great harvest of golden
shekels. There have even been some
shows in which he has had to dig.,
down in his pockts and pull out a i
roll to pay off the talent 'When the
attendance did not come up to ex
pectations and the show was a bloom
er. That, it would seem, was enough
to make a "crabber" of anybody, but
this promoter is of the persistent, pa
tient type, and figures that in the end
he will cbme out on the right side of
the ledger.
He was asked why he continued in f
the promoting business.
"I'm in the game because I like it,
for one reason, and another is that 1
have confidence in my ability to make
a financial success out of the sport by ,
Staging high class contests. Of course,
conditions right now are against su- .
cess, due to the draft and warm
weather, but I'm not going to take
my hand out now that I'Ve got it in.
- Boxers Demand Big Money.
"But even under adverse conditi6ns
a promoter could make
heve, were it not for
amounts they have
the boxers to4 appear
absolutely will not li
less than four figures, and you've got
to come across at this speed or they
will not box. Such a thine as $400 or
$500 purses for a windup is out of the
question. The boxers of today would
turn up their noses and walk away
if that amount of coin was offered for
a bout. .- :
"Back a little more than a decade '
ago it was possible to offer $500 for
a bout with fhampions competing, but
nothing like that today. The boxers
get the money and the promoters take
the chances. At present near! all ,
the boxers who appear for me work
on percentage, but they demand such
a pig percentage there is little left
after they are paid off."
Many Old Timert Broke.
Tretty near all the high class scrap
pers of the past, are working for a liv
ing these days, and that includes a
good number of ex-chmpions. They
didn't get much coin, and what they
did get they let go, never considering
the chance of a rainy day. One of
them may be cited as an example.
This boy, a Chicago lightweight, was
a topnotcher in his day and enjoyed
such ' success in the game that he
was able" to secure a battle for the
championship. He was beaten, With .
his defeat he about closed his fistic
career. - ,
He was in the game probably ten
years, and in that time he had many
battles. Although he was fairly care
ful of his money he had less than
$10,000 when he stopped., it was up
to him then to find some other way
to make a living and he chose the
saloon business. He opened a cafe
and saloon, and in a year's time the
saloon failed. He was minus all his
coin and owed some money. I saw him
the other day traveling around office
buildings selling dictionaries. Ten
years of fighting for lest than $10,000
and all this coin gone in a year through
failure in the saloon business.
Charity White Has Good Stake.
This former boxer might be com
pared favorably in ability with Char
ley White of Qiicago, the lightweight
who has had several cracks at the
championship and failid to cop. White
has been a good scrapper for prob
ably six, or seven years, and in that
time he has cleaned up more than
$50,000. A good part of that money
White 'has in his possession, for he
has betn sensible enough to know he
won't always be a card. So when
he is through he is going to have
plenty to round out the remainder
Of his existence. .
Two champions, one lightweight
and the other featherweight, fought in
Philadelphia the Other day. They
were Benny Leonard and Johnny
Kilbane. Each of them drew $ 10,00 J
for his end for tboxing six. rounds.
