and Jack White, of Chicago, matched to
box twenty rounds before the Pacific
A. C., at Vernon, on the night of Au
gust 12. have started active training.
This is the second meeting between

Friday or Saturday, when he will set
tle down to hard training in prepara
tion for bouts. Numerous offers nave
been received from promoters in Wis
consin and Now York.
August 19 Packcv is scheduled to give
a boxing exhibition on Senator Clark's
farm, a few tulles west of Milwaukee
The local miller has agreed to box nine
rounds with three different opponents,
in the hope of showing that his future
engagements in Wisconsin cities and
towns will be boxing exhibitions and not
prize fights.
He will continue training st Nate
Lewis’ gymnasium after his exhibition
until he is ready to go into the ring
for a serious battle.
Offers received by Packey Include
bouts with Leach Cross. Ray Bronson, of
Indianapolis; Jack Britton, of Chicago;
Jack Gibbons, of St. Paul; Freddie
Welsh, the Englishman; Owen Moran,
and others.
According to Nate Lewis, manager of
Charley White, the local battler has re
ceived offers to battle in Wisconsin
Milwaukee promoters want him to meet
Johnny Dundee and Joe Mandot. Lewis
also is considering bids for a return
match between White und Jack Britton
to be held in Kenosha late in the fall.
Charley is doing light work even - day.

WILLETT HAS METHOD OF
SHORTENING BALL GAMES
DETROIT. Aug. 2.—Edgar Willett, the
clever pitcher of the Detroit Tigers,
has advanced another idea as 10 a
method of shortening: baseball games.
Edgar caught the Idea while watching
Sam Crawford amble around the bSLses
recently for a borne run.
“Why not permit Crawford to run to
first and then return to the bench in
stead of consuming a minute or so in
walking about the sacks?” asks Edgar.
“There are. we'll say. fifty home runs j
hit in the American League each sea
son That means an hour wasted.
Every one knows the hit is a home run
when it drops into the bleachers or
goes over the fence, so what's the use
of wasting time and effort?''
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—The fine
showing of Heinrich Schmidt, at St.
Andrews, Scotland, is likely to stim
ulate Interest In the British ama
teur Championship among leading
golfers in this country. Jerome Trav
ers, who was abroad a year or two
ago, is contemplating another attack
upon the foreign titles next year, and
there is reason to believe he will not
be allowed to go across alone.
The great obstacle in the way of
Travers has been the ban on the cen
ter-shafted putter by the Royal and
Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the
ruling body in golf affairs abroad. In
case he decides to enter for the next
British championship Travers will
have to accustom himself to the use
of a putter legalized on Scottish and
English links.
Travers is a firm advocate and bril
liant exponent of the mallet-headed
type, but he believes he will be able to
make the change without greatly im
pairing his effectiveness on the greens.
Yale’s Football Work
Begins September 1
Eli's Gridiron Men Will Get Into
Harness Earliest In History
of School.
SIASCONSET, Aug. 2.-—Yale’s foot
ball men this year will get into har
ness the earliest In the history of the
Eli’s gridiron sport. Captain Ketcham
has accepted an invitation from the
’Sconset Cottage Club to have the
football candidates begin early train
ing at the Nantucket resort. The
new leader of the Ell forces, who
hopes to get together a team strong
enough to regain the Blue’s lost pres
tige, expects that 25 men. all candi
dates for the line, will report about
the first of September for a stay of
about two weeks.
it Is very likely that Head Coach
Howard Jones and Assistant Douglass
Bomeisler will be on hand to watch
the preliminary work. The early
start of the squad will be interesting,
as it is an innovation for Yale can
didates to report so early.

Tom Hughes Aspires
To Be an Arbiter
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—A
Spartan mother, Mrs. Catherine
Shrier, appeared before Commis
sioner Newman yesterday to ob
tain a permit for a public boxing
match between her two sons, Don
and Quincy. The Commissioner
asked their ages.
“Don’s 13 and Quincy’s 11," an
swered Mrs. Shrier. “Sure they’ve
been boxing for six years. The
boys are clever with their fists,
and they’e earned their own keep
and that of their sister, too."
Much to Mrs. Shrier's surprise,
Commissioner Newman refused to
issue the permit. He als- made
a few remarks about the tender
ness of the ages of tlj© two bud
ding pugilists.
IS SEASON
Washington Pitcher Wants To Be an
Umpire When Hurling Days
Are Over.
Tom Hughes, aged and crafty vet
eran of many a diamond battle, who
Is a member of the Washington Club’s
pitching staff, has an ambition. Fur
thermore, it is a most worthy ambi
tion, and deserves support. Realizing
that he is about at the end of his
string as a big league twirler, Tomas-
so fain would be an umpire.
“I’m about done as a pitcher," says
Tomasso, “though I’ve got about as
much stuff right now as half the
pitchers in the American League.
Now, I’d like to be an umpire. I’ve
been pitching ball for fourteen years,
and surely in that time I’ve learned
about all there is to know of the na
tional pastime. If I get through this
year I'm going to ask Ban Johnson for
a chance to be an umpire."
In 1908 Bill Dineen and Tom
Hughes were mates on the world’s
champion Boston Americans, piloted
down the road to fame by Jimmy Col
lins. Dineen went to pieces earlier
than Hughes, and Jimmy McAleer ob
tained a chance for him to show his
skill as an umpire. Dineen has made
good.
Hughes possesses what most of the
umpires in this league to-day lack. He
has sufficient height to look over the
backstop’s head and see the plate.
Hughes is fast enough on his feet to
get over plays on the bases, too. That
he has sufficient nerve to stand the
gaff is known to baseball fans all over
the country.
“I’ve watched umpires of all kinds
for years,” continues Hughes, “and I
believe that the requirements are
these: Knowledge of baseball, eyesight,
common sense and nerve."
P HILADELPHIA, Aug. 2.—Connie
Mack, the astute manager of
the Athletics, has not seen
George Brickley, the Everett, Mass,,
High School ball player, work, but
he said to-day that he U satisfied
with the youngster, and thinks he has
made a find. Connie was asked
whether he had seen Brickley in yes
terday morning’s practice, and said:
• • •
«XTO, I did not see him work out
yesterday, but I talked with
STOOPS FOR GOLF BALL,
DISLOCATES HIS NECK
some of the players, and they say
that he looks like the real goods. One
thing is sure, he can do the most
important thing called for In the out
field, and that Is, hit the ball.
“Of course, I know that he will not
do at present, and It may take one
or even two years to develop him to
our standard, but he is well worth tak
ing a chance with, and he will get a
fair trial.
“At present, Brickley Is here for
me to look him over, and it is doubt
ful whether he will get in a game for
a long time, but one can never tell
what will happen."
Mack was asked whether he Intend
ed to send Brickley to the minorg for
seasoning and how long he would let
him remain away.
• • •
«T DON’T know that I shall send
him to any minor league at all.
It Brickley is what I hope him to be,
I may keep him with the club the
same as I did Eddie Collins and let
him get his experience with us.
“That is the best way to develop
some youngsters, and I have found
the play very successful to date. He
will have the benefit of seeing the
other players in real contests, and
we can all take a hand in showing
him the fine points of tl game."
BRITISH PAPER FINDS AN
ALIBI FOR TENNIS TEAM
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON. Aug. 2.—An anonymous
letter appearing in The Standard yes
terday declares that the English com
petitors in the Davis cup tennis matches
were the best all-around players, but
that the Americans won the trophy be
cause McLoughlln had mastered and
concentrated his play on a smashing
service, in which any number of English
players could equally have perfected
themselves.
“Thus the cup was won," the letter
continues, “by a trick, though a per
fectly legitimate trick within the rules,
which does not further the best in
terests of lawn tennis, and unless this
smash service is barred, tike the spot
stroke in billiards, tennis is within
measuring distance of death. *
MEMPHIS, TENN., Aug. 2.—Another
good excuse has been found here for
avoiding golfing in the hot weather. It’s
this—‘Don’t stoop over to pick up a golf
ball or you may dislocate your neck."
Nelson Giddens. 14. son of Patrolman
M. F. Giddens, was caddying for a play
er at Overton Park. He stooped over
for the ball and found he couldn’t 1
straighten up. He yelled in fright. A
physician hurriedly summoned found
that the lad had partially dislocated his
neck. After some work he got the dis
location back in shape and the lad only
suffered a sore neck for a short while.
Physicians here say this is a rare occur
rence. but has been known to happen
before.
To Cure Corns, Caliouses
Bunions and Aching Feet
TO ENTER RIFLE MEET.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2 -Germany
has signified its intention of being rep
resented by a rifle team at the interna
tional matches, to be held at Camp
Perry, Ohio, from September 1 to 9.
The following is said to be the surest and
quickest cure known to science for all foot
ailment*: "Dissolve two tablespoonfuls of Calo-
oide compound In a basin of warm water. Soak
die feet In this for fully fifteen minutes, gently
rabbin* the sore parts." The
effect la really wonderful. All
soreness rocs instantly; the feet
feel delightful. Corns and cal
louses can be peeled riyht off.
It gives immediate relief for sore
bunions. sweaty. smelly and
aching feet. A twenty-five cent
box of Calodde Is said to be
sufficient to cure the worst feet.
It works through the pores and
removes the cause of the trou
ble. Don't waste time on uncertain remedies.
Any druggist has Calodde compound In stock
or he can get it In a few hours from his whole
sale house.
