FOR 0. WHITE
C HICAGO, ILL., May 31.—Charlie
White, Chicago’s pugilistic sen
sation just now and walking in
the path that leads straight to the
lightweight championship, yesterday
declared that all that is necessary for
him to bring the title to this city is
a chance to fight Willie Ritchie, West
ern battler, who possesses the 133-
pound crown. White is hopeful of
•securing such a match, and while he
Is awaiting' word from the kingpin
*glrrve wielder of that division he is
ready to clash with the next best
lightweight.
White has his eye on Bud Anderson,
Joe Rivers and Leach Cross and
would willingly sign at once. He may
realize a meeting with Anderson in
Butte, Mont., on July 13, Miners’ Day,
but nothing definite has as yet been
done. The promoters, however, are
4n louch with Anderson.
White Deserving a Chance.
White’s recent ring work entitles
him to the consideration that is shown
Anderson, Rivers and the rest of the
men who are angling for a crack at
the champ. Charles has had a most
wonderful run of luck and in his last
two matches has proved conclusively
that, coupled with his science, speed
and cleverness, he has a knockout
kick.
White has proved conclusively
that he can deliver the same kick
with either hand. He knocked out
Thomas with a left hook in both bat
tle* and put Pal Moore down five
times with a right. No battler ever
gave Moore the lacing that did White,
»and Moore never was nearer being
knocked out than by White. Three
times he was fiat on his back when
the gong came to the rescue. It is
this hitting power, coupled with his
other qualities, "White says, will give
him and Chicago the title if he can
get the matches.
The double knockout of Joe Thom
as brought White to the f ont with
a rush. But those wins are not the
making of Charlie’s record. Twice he
defeated Young Shugrue, once he
clearly and decisively bested Johnny
Dundee, he made Owen Moran, the
British champion, who knocked out
Battling Nelson, foul him deliberate
ly to avoid a knockout, and he has
what many Cleveland fans consider
a shade win over Johnny Kilbane.
Hai! White as Champion.
New Orleans scribes who have seen
Willie Ritchie, Jack Britton and Ad
WolgaBt perform against their stars
are as one in the opinion that White
has made a more favorable impres
sion there than any of the above
named. Promoter Totorich is willing
to back White against Ritchie, and
he will stage the match whenever the
champ is ready to accept.
Unfortunately for White, he is
neither a real featherweight, the kind
that can do 122 pounds, nor a light
weight. He accepts matches with
men who make 133 pounds at 6
o’clock, but White rarely weighs over
128 pounds when in the ring.
Recently Billy Nolan promised Nate
Lewis, White’s manager, a match if
Charles could go out and show some
thing to warrant such a battle.
Charles has done that and more and is
entitled to exchange swats with the
champ. He is at least deserving of
the consideration of a match with
the other topnotchers. and if he is
kept from such matches Chicago is
deprived of a chance to show whether
it has the makings of a champ in
White or not.
Does Better Than Britton.
Jack Britton and Thomas went ten
rounds in New Orleans some time ago
and Jack had to give his best to win
by a slight shade. White won two
knockouts from Thomas and in quick
time and at a time when the latter
was a 2 to 1 choice in the betting.

Griffith Declares
War on Ban Johnson
National’s Manager Says He Wants
No More to Do With
“That Fellow.”
WASHINGTON, May 31.—Tm
through with Ban Johnson. He may
know how' to run the league, but he
will never cut in on the Washington
club as long as I am manager. If
there is any more correspondence be
tween Chicago and Washington it will
have to come from some one else, for
I will have nothing more to do with
that fellow.”
With these words Clark Griffith last
night gave notice of an open breach
between himself and the president of
the American League. It has been
known for some time that the rela
tions between Johnson and the man
ager were none too pleasant, but
w'hen word was received in Boston
from Washington that Johnson
had notified President Ben Minor, of
the Nationals, of the reinstatement of
Nick Altrock, Griffith went on record
in regard to an absolute rupture with
Johnson.
Three times the chief of the Na
tionals asked Johnson to explain on
what grounds Altrock was barred,
and the manager expected that he
would receive a direct answer from
the executive.
“He has tried to butt in on us be
fore, but from now on you can take
it from me he can go his way and w r e
will go ours,” continued Griffith. “1
am trying to give Washington a win
ning ball club, and if Johnson thinks
that such petty stuff as he has been
pulling can humiliate me he is away
off his base. I have stood for quite
a little of this small stuff before,
but from now on he and I are not
going to have any relations whatso
ever. That’s all, and it’s final.”
ENGLISH SNUBBED BY NEW
BOXING ORGANIZATION
May 31.—Reference to the
Snmting Club of London
ige^Tsurprise to every Eng-
-gd in boxing was
F appearing in a local
paper, which stated that the new Na
tional Boxing Union, .lust organized,
with headquarters in Paris, will pre
pare definite and final rules for all
world’s championship bouts and de
cide all disputed ca^es arising in the
eport..
The Boxing Union will consist of
representatives of the New York State
Athletic Commission and the French
Boxing Federation. The National
Sporting Club, the statement says,
does not figure in a boxing union be
cause it is not considered sufficient
ly important to take part in any such
international organization.
By John (Chief) Meyers.
Star Indian Catcher of the Champion
Giants, and One of the Most Dead
ly Muggers of the National League.
I F my race continues to devote che
same attention to the diamond
game that it has within the past
few years, there will soon be a pretty
large tribe in organized baseball. The
national pastime has natural senses—
I might almost say instinct—that
centuries of life in the open have
endowed him with.
It would be false modesty on my
part to declare that I am not thor
oughly delighted with the fact that
my race has proven itself competent
to master the white man’s principal
sport. In the two major leagues to
day are four young Indians who have
attracted more or less attention—Al
bert Bender, of the Athletics; George
Johnson, of the Cincinnati Reds Jim
Thorpe and myself, of the Giants.
All of us have made good, I think.
Bender has for years been one of the
main dependencies of Connie Mack’s
wonderful Athletics. Fandom has
endorsed him as one of the greatest
pitchers of the age. It will take
many years for Johnson to achieve
snch fame if he proves the wonderful
twirler of which he has given every'
evidence so far this year with the
Redlegs. He has not been thorough
ly tried—will not have been until lie
has spent a year or two in the big
ring.
Some of my readers may here raise
an objection to my naming Jim
Thorpe among the ‘‘Big Four” of pro
fessional baseball’s Indian represen
tation. To such I have this reply all
ready. If Thorpe hadn't made good
in the estimation of Manager Mc-
Graw he would not now be connected
with the club. It is quite true that
Jim has not gained a regular position
on our team. But he is not wasting
his time. And if the Carlisle School
phenom does not vindicate the judg-
men of McGravv I shall be.the most
mistaken man in America.
Thorpe an Apt Pupil.
Jim Thorpe, at the present time, is
taking a course of instruction in Mc
Grow’s school. He is an apt pupil. 1
have never seen a ball player fa
miliarize himself so quickly with
methods that must have struck hom«
very strangely at first. •
When he reported at Marlin this
phenomenal athlete had very little to
recommend him except physical prow
ess. It Is true that he had played
some baseball, but comparatively lit
tle as measured by the standards that
apply to most minor leaguers coming
up for their first trial.
Thorpe had specialized in gener*!
track athletics and football at Car
lisle. He played baseball as he played
all other games—hockey, basketball,
tennis—simply’ for the love of the
sport. It was a pleasing diversion
from the continual grind of track and
field events. Thorpe came, then, lo
McGraw, a child of innocence so far
as real baseball knowledee is con
cerned. That he was able to stick
proves to my mind that Jim is a real
jewel In the rough.
I do not believe it will take a very
long course in the McGravv school to
develop a real gem. I speak from
observation of the progress he has
made In the few months he has been
a Giant.
Nothing that transpires on the field
ever escapes Jim’s notice. He is
eager to learn the why and wheref)'
of everything that varies the least
from the usual routine of the game.
Veriest Recruit at Marlin.
When Thorpe turned out to first
practice at Marlin he was the green
est recruit you could imagine. When
the pitchers started to curve the ball
he was dumbfounded. Now he can hit
a curve just about as well as he can
hit speed. He has studied all the best
batters of our club with a view to
assimilate the best points of each.
To my mind, the earnestness <.f
Thorpe, if* steadfastly pursued, will
assure him a very high seat among
the baseball mighty. He has every
natural qualification to reach the very
top of the profession. He has the
happy’ faculty of profiting by his mis
takes. He ha.s plenty of good sense,
and is quick thinking.
No man In baseba” is so beautiful
ly equipped iri a physical sense. Jim
Thorpe, the Olympic hero, was the
most perfect physical type to be found
among the colleges. He is the fastest
man on the club. I do not mean by
that that he is the best base runner;
I mean he could easily beat any one
for a distance equal to that around
the bases, or possibly from base to
base.
There is} a knack In circling the
ases as in pilfering a cushion. The
best base stealers are not necessarily
the fastest runner. The break and the
slide figure too prominently. Right off
the reel one has to steal the base
on the pitcher, or he runs into certain
death.
Olympic Hero Versatile.
What I most like about Thorpe is
his versatility. McGraw has tried hi u
in various positions, and he. has mado
good as could be expected in all of
them. Jim Thorpe plays first base
much better than most green men;
he plays the outfield far better than
the majority of novices; he can piten,
and he can catch. When he becomes
ripe enough in experience Jim Thorpe
should prove a marvel of general util
ity.
Naturally, I would like to see him
pitch. We would be the only Indian
battery in the big leagues. I think
Thorpe would be a wizard of the box
if he devoted his final attention to
this line of work. He has plenty of
speed, and has mastered a pretty fair
“hook" or curve. And he dabbles with
the spitball, too. Yes, he has a spit-
ball that might be cultivated into a
wonder.
Thorpe should be a great hitter. He
is keen of eye and possesses a style
that speaks the ‘‘natural bom.” Prac
tice is the keynote of fielding skill. Of
course there must be some natural
ability behind it. But no man could
have the football and athletic fame of
Thorpe without that inborn funda
mental.
I do not think that anyone has ever
heard Jim Thorpe speak a boastful
word since he joined our team. He
is afraid to be misunderstood by the
public and does not get as much
practice before the games as most of
the recruits. Yet under his reserve
Thorpe has a wonderful personality.
•Tust a word or two in conclusion.
Thorpe is with the Giants because
McGraw believes in his possibilities.
Those people were fooled who thought
our manager engaged the lad as a
side feature of the champions; that
he intended to parade the renowned
king of all athletes as a sort of circus.
I am sure no one has seen Thorpe in
any such role. And I am confident
as is Manager McGraw and Thorpe
himself, in the future of this sensa
tional recruit.
Ed Walsh Complains
bout Balks Called
Great Twirler Wants to Explain His
Delivery to President.
Ban Johnson.
CHICAGO, ILL., May 31.—Now
and then a pitcher arises to de
fend his ‘‘balky motion” and now no
less an authority than Ed Walsh, one
of the world’s greatest pitchers, says
he is going to call on President Ban
Johnson, demonstrate his famous
half-balk and get the league mogul
to call off his umpires.
“There isn’t an umpire in the
American League that can tell me
how I balk.” says the big fellow.
“Some of the umpires say that I throw
my shoulder forward, indicating that
I was to deliver the ball to the batter
and then whirl and throw’ to first,
thus violating the rules. I do not
move my shoulders except when J
start the throw to first. Another
umpire told me that I balked by the
movement of my knees. Yet I don’t
move my knees until I make the
throw to catch a runner off base.
“Clark Griffith, manager of the
Washington team and the man who is
always trying to get the umpires to
call balks on me, doesn’t know my
movement to first. He declares that
I balk with my shoulders, but I do
not.
“Naturally every time that a balk
is called on me I w r ant to know why
and so far not an umpire ha.s ever
told me. Many of them haven’t
tried.
“Clark Griffith and Jimmy Calla
han were two pitchers who were con
sidered mighty good in their day when
it came to holding runners on first
base. 1 have talked to Griffith and
know’ w r hat his motion was. I have
talked to Callahan and know what
move he had. 1 have combined the
two and think I have a motion that
is mighty effective when it comes to
holding base runners close and at
the same time is within the spirit of
the rules.
“I know’ one thing, and that is that
I should like to explain it to the presi
dent of the league, so that his um
pires would understand it, and would
not punish me for using it.”
RED SOX HAVE NEW WAY
TO STOP TY AND JACKSON
NEW YORK, May 31.—In a talk-
Test here yesterday the Red Sox out
lined the following pieces of strategy
to dispose of such dangerous bats
men as Ty Cobb and Joe Jackson.
As Sam Crawford of the Tiger bats
before Cobb and is a comparatively
slow runner, the world s champions
believe that by walking him and then
passing Cobb the latter would be un
able to steal bases or hit safely. The
sartie scheme applied to Turner, who
precedes Jackson in the Cleveland
tatting order, would be equally suc
cessful.
Manager Stahl and the other Red
Sox seem to be sincere in their be
lief that this can be done.
N EW YORK, May 24.—Harry
Payne Whitney, captain of the
American Polo Team for a num
ber of seasons, may not be in the
line-up of the United States four
when the referee throws out the ball
for the first match with the English
team. Corroboration of this possi
bility was obtained to-day from a
man closely identified with the prep
arations of the American team for the
defense of the international trophy.
It is CapUiin Whitney himself who
is seriously contemplating the strik
ing out of his own name from the
list of defenders. The Polo Associa
tion has given the selection of the
team entirely into the hands of Cap
tain Whitney, and his verdict will be
final. But Whitney has been making
a critical analysis of the scoring in
the preliminary practice, and it is
said that he has concluded that the
team will play a stronger game w ith
some one filling his place.
The situation which has now been
evolved in polo is one of the most re
markable in the records of interna
tional athletics. Captain Whitney has
suggested to the members of the Po
lo Association that Player Whitney
stay on the side lines. And some of
the foremost critics among the
American authorities have replied
that they think Player Whitney
should be retained. It now’ looks as
though Captain Whitney’s judgment
would prevail—at least in the line-up
for the first gam rj .
Whitney Picks Stoddard.
Louis Stoddard No. 1: Monty Wat-
erbury, No. 2; Larry Waterbury. No.
3, and Devereux Milburn, back—that
is the w’av the names are apt to be
posted on the day of the opening
skirmish at Meadow Brook. This is
Captain Whitney’s nomination as he
has expressed himself to members of
the Polo Association in terms of
Rtrong advocacy for the combination
In practice to date Whitney’s w’ork
has not been quite as brilliant as in
other seasons. The responsibility of
preparing for the matches with the
English team has affected him some
what. and he is willing to give way to
another player for the general good
of the American team.
Louis Stoddard’s splendid, showing
this spring is largely responsible for
Captain Whitney’s willingness to see
the breakup of the veteran Meadow
Brook four and his own absence from
the line-ftp. The scintillating play of
the former Yale player has been com
mented upon a number of times in
there ’hspatches. and the prediction
that he would be found in the list of
American players seems certain to be
carried to fulfillment. Stoddard’s
horsemanship has Improved 30 per
cent, this spring.
Stoddard Consistent Player.
Always a hard hitter and a master
of the technique of mallet play, he
has this year gone ahead In his abil
ity to get results from his mounts. It
used to be said of him that on a
favorite pony he was unbeatable but
that his effectiveness was lessened
greatly when fatigue made it neces
sary for him to change his jhorse.
Stoddard is now showing a consist
ency which makes it impossible to
pass ov-r his qualifications. There
is no doubt that if he maintains his
present gait he w ill be seen in inter
national play next month. The only
question is whether he will be desig
nated as a regular or a substitute.
“It comQS dow’n to w hether Stod- I
dard’s brilliancy is so forceful a fac
tor that it calls for the breaking up
of the old Big Four.” said a member
of the Polo Association to-day.
From the standpoint of honored as
sociations there will be much regret
if Whitney is not in the line-up of
the American team. The fine spirit
of sportsmanship he has displayed in
making the recommendation w’hieh
will mean his own elimination is not
often seen upon the athletic field.
Laboring under the handicap of
being possessed of a degree of wealth
which generally causes the public to
attribute success in any line of en
deavor to dollars rather than brains.
Whitney has not only accomplished
the winning of the international polo
supremacy to America, but he has
brought about a world-wide change
in polo tactics.
In 1909. when Whitney asked Dev
ereux Milburn and the two Water-
burys to accompany him to England,
4here were few In this country who
thought the expedition would be suc
cessful. It was freely said that the
Americans would not be able to get
rear the ball, much less score against
the British. This was because the
Englishmen were supposed to have
perfect**! the technique of a closed
game, which guarded rival ponies at
all stages, to such an extent that thi-
counlry would be outclassed.

C hicago, ill.. May 31.—when
that foolish old K. O. crashes
into a man’s jaw in the opening
round of a glove battle and the recip
ient goe^ crashing to the floor for a
full count the puollc at large is prone
to sympathize with the beaten man
and at the same time remark sad
ly that another fighter has been shov
ed Into the discards We take the'
case of Jeff O’Uonrell, the little Eng
lish fighter, who was disposed of in
a trifle ever two minutes by Matty
McCut* in Racine the other night. Af
ter that was all over the crowd al
most to a man had O’Connell in the
“Has Been” class and a fit subject
for the old m^n’s infirmary.
• * *
O ITT does it always work out that
way? A glance through ring his
tory indicates quite to the contrary,
for some of the best fighters of this
and other days have had ihe K. O.
punch hung on them in the first round
and have lived it down in grand style.
It doesn’t always follow that one
knockout makes a man passe, espe
cially the quick knockout In which
little or no punishment is inflicted
The real telling knockouts are those
that come after dozens of rounds ol
grueling work in which the beaten
man gradually is worn down and is
so weakened at the finish that his re
sistance is entirely gone. Almost
without exception the man receiving
“his” in the first round gejs over it
quickly.
* * *
T 'AKE the rather startling case of
Jack McCormick and his sudden
knockout of Kid McCoy over at the
Star Theater on the North Side years
ago. McCoy got la-ncy with the bur
ly McCormick, who swung a right
hand off the floor and landed along-'
side the speedy kid’s jaw. McCoy
went out as cold as a salted mackerel
and didn’t know where he was at 3
o’clock the next morning. Yet Mc
Coy took McCormick a f *w weeks af
terward and gave him the lacing of
his life and afterward seemed none
the worse for the quick defeat.
* * *
R EMEMBER, don’t you, that Joe
Gans knocks! out Frank Erne in
one punch one time? Yet it never
injured Erne’s chances much and he
turned out afterw’ard to be one of the
world’s greatest boxers.
* * *
A ND then there was the case of
the ancient Peter Maher, the Dub
lin brewery product. Peter bloomed
unfailingly like the bay tree and cam*
back as popular as ever after every
defeat. Bob Fitzsimmons sat him on
his haunches for the full count down
in Mexico, ending it in the first round.
So did Joe Goddard, treating Peter
the same way in the same round. But
Peter got over it and earned piles
and piles of money afterward.
• * *
TV/TARVIN HART, the Louisville
middleweight, was knocked as
stiff as a board by “Wild Bill” Han-
rahan in one round with a swing on
the jaw. They said at the time Mar
vin would never amount to anything
after that. But cidn’t the Kentucky
plumber go out West later on <and best
Jack Johnson in a twenty-round go?
At least Hart was given the decision,
no matter what the merits of the
case might have been. It has been
said it was a clear steal, but (jto fact
that Hart even went twenty rounds
with Jour-son shows that the Har.ra-
han punch had no lasting effect upon
him.
• • •
ASCAR GARDNER knocked Harry
^ Forbes out in rne round, hut Har
ry came right back after that and
won th-* bantam weight title until
Frankie Neal came along and took it
away from him. Tommy Burns hung
one on Bill Squires in the first round
and lat?r beat him in thirteen. But
Bili was quite useful after lhat. Ed
die McGqorty knocked out Dave
Smith of Australia and Jack Harri
son of Fngland. both champions of
their countries, in a round each with-
in a week of ea^h other, yet neither
of these men is out of the game by a
long way.
* * *
T OOK at the case of "Flatbush Tom-
my” Murphy. Terry McGovern
knocked him kicking in a single round
and so did Knockout Brown, yet Tom
my has returned and orly the other
day he defeated Ad Wolgast in twen
ty rounds. So you see it ooesn’t do
to pronounce a man out of the game
too quickly. They DO come back and
in the must unexpected manner.
CINCINNATI TO ENTER
BALLOON IN BIG RACE
KANSAS CITY, MO., May 81.—
George M. Meyers. President of the
Kansas City Aero Club, announced
yesterday that the Cincinnati Aero
Club, recently organized, would enter
a balloon for the national elimination
race w’hieh will start from here July
4.
Dr. E. Ia. Custer, of Dayton, Ohio,
will be one of the contesting pilots,
and Captain G. L. Bumbaugh, of In

B OSTON, May 31.—Here is the
first inside story from Owner
Charlies W. Murphy about why
Manager Frank Chase left the Cubs.
It is because men financially poor
have better success with their men.
according to Mr. Murphy, who gives
figures to prove his Judgment is right.
‘Take the National League stand
ing.” said Mr. Murphy, “Cincinnati,
managed by Joe Tinker, is at the
bottom with a percentage identical
with that of New York in the Amer
ican League, .290.
‘‘This bears out a reason I had for
changing the management of the
Cubs this year, a reason I have been
reluctant in giving it out, but now
that the figures bear out my theory I
am making it public.
“1 have always held that a man
independently rich could not get the
artistic work out of a ball club that
a poor man could.
Tinker Worth $100,000.
‘Take the first four clubs in the
National League standing to-day—
they are all managed by poor men.
At the bottom are the Reds, manag
ed by Joe Tinker, who is worth at
least $100,000.
“Then, there are the Highlanders,
at fhe bottom of the American
League, with a standing of .290, man
aged by Frank Chance, who Is worth
at least $200,000.
“What is the answer? The ball
players will not deliver the brand of
baseball for a man who is indepen
dently rich that they will deliver for
a manager who is in moderate cir
cumstances financially.
“I have always believed that the
poor man, who must strive to get to
the top, will have more influence with
his men than the rich man. He is
poor, he must work to get to the top.
he has more ambition than the man
who has partially or actually reached
the goal of his ambitions and he has
the incentive.
“I might make an exception in the
case of Connie Mack, w’ho is wealthy
and still a successful manager. He
Is a part owner of the club and is
really a father to his men.
“Many wondered when I made a
change in the management of my
club why I did not appoint Tinker.
The reason la proven by figures. I
believed that I would do better to
appoint a man who had yet to make
hia wealth and his reputation as a
manager, and I chose Evers.
“I still believe that my choice was
a wise one and I believe that future
results will confirm my choice."
