BROOKLYN.NY. M I TAT I ON B <c^ D D SMS HESS At That, the Way Some Guys Talk About Coin Would Drive You Dippy By “Bud” Fisher By John (Chief) Meyers. (Star Catcher of the Champion New York Giants and one of the leading sluggers of the National League.) A L DEMAREE is, to my mind, one of the most picturesque characters in baseball. He is but a colt, yet he is one of the chief resources of the Giants. His career has been meteoric—as professional baseball careers go—yet it is one that Is not liable to flivver and sputter out before many, many years of use fulness.. Demaree is to-day Just about the best young pitcher in the business. That is putting It pretty strongly. I will admit. One must not overlook such class as that boasted by Joe Boehling, the sensational southpaw of Washington. Boehling is doubtless a grand pitcher. He has shown it by pitting a record of eleven straight vic tories for the season before he met defeat. Naturally. I am not familiar with his work—he is in a different league. But I would go broke that ho pos sesses no more stuff than Demaree, nor knows how to use to better ad vantage hia natural endowments. Demaree Forces Recognition. Griffith, hounded by misfortune, was forced to take a chance on the recruit. It is to the credit of Joe that h© won his spurs. But Demaree forced recognition through pure class alone. He so im pressed McGraw that our very able manager from almost the very start of the season assigned the youngster to the same consideration as a regu lar tosser. That fact in itself is the highest praise. It is not McGraw's wont to accept a green man as a regular. His time-honored custom—and it has pro duced wonderful results—has been to cultivate talent through observation of “inside” baseball from the bench. Outside of Demaree there are practi cally no exceptions to this rule. Demaree needed no further school ing when he came to our club. He ’» Jne of those very, very rare young men possessed with the head of an old man He seems to have shed his youth In his boyhood days. He is a very close student of the game; he never forgets to profit by experience. Knows Batters’ Failings. No man in our club—with the ex ception of the grand old master, Mat ty—1s better versed in the strength and weakness of opposing barmen. Much of his knowledge A1 has gleaned from personal observation. A great store he has laid in from conversa tion with his teammates. Demaree is the closest approach to Mathewson I have ever seen. In many respects he resembles the “Old Master.” Like “Big Six,” he is pos sessed of a beautiful delivery—one from which the ball comes right on top of the batsman before he sees It. For a youngster of his limited ex perience, Demaree possesses a change of pace that is truly phenomenal. But one of his greatest attributes is con- trol. . . This very important adjunct of the pitching art is usually acquired only after long years of experience. Dem aree possesses it at the very begin ning. Were he equipped physically as nobly as was Mathewson when “Big Six” broke into the big show. I should predict for A1 every bit as brilliant a future. . Demaree is a pitcher who will Inst for many, many years. He may never bo able to shoulder the same amount of work that Mathewson has per formed. But he will come through triumphantly In the great majority Tf his starts, because he pitches as much with his head as with his arm. When in easy going he depends upon his support. Only when absolutely necessary does he employ all the cun ning nt his command. Master at Changing Pace. I said before that Demaree is o master at changing pace. His con trol is well nigh perfect. Add to this i good curve ball and a fine turn of speed and you will see he has quali fications of worth possessed by very few recruits. Furthermore, he holds runners to their bases very well. He hasn t caught a great many of them nap ping Yet his delivery is so purging that they are always fooled and forced to hug the cushions. They do not know when he is going to throw to first, and those few he has caught have been nailed flatfooted Demaree is very eaF*y on hie eaten- er. He throws what J 1 baseball parlance as a light ball. It is not hard to handle. Because of the known quality of steadiness A1 s ratcher can always be In a position to throw well. This, with his afore mentioned deceptive delivery puts the base-runner at a distinct disadvan- tage. - Copyright, 191S. Intern* tlorul fterrtee.

C HICAGO, ILL., Aug. 6.—Five pounds 1n weight is the only thing that stands between Charlie White and the lightweight championship. I firmly believe that Charlie to-day can take either Ad Wolgast. Johnny Dundee or any other boy • weighing around 128 or 130 pounds and stop him. Furthermore, I will say that if the lightweight limit was 183 pounds ringside. White would have a great chance to cop the title. I have boxed with Charlie several times, and can truthfully say he packs the hardest wallop of any boy I have ever met. This may sound a little boastful, but, nevertheless, it is true. If I could give Charlie my excess poundage—that is, the added weight that keeps me from being a legiti mate lightweight—I think a battle between White and myself would be the greatest of all battles. Charlie’s big handicap now is his weight. Wil lie Ritchie, the present title holder, can not make 133 pounds ringside. If White were to meet Willie, the lat ter would make 133 pounds in the morning, which would bring him into the ring around 136. Charlie Weighs Only 128. Now’, Charlie never weighs more than 128 in condition. I know- this to be a fact, as I boxed with him four days before he went to box Britton at New Orleans on July 4, and he tipped the beam at 127. I also told Nate Lewis a year ago. when Charlie left to box Owen Moran that his protege would surely defeat the Englishman. At that time I had a match pending with Moran on '.he coast, and when Lewis told me he had White signed to box Owen I nearly cried. I was to get $5,000 guar antee to box Moran, but I knew White would beat him and rob me of the bout. Many of the local sporting men laughed at me when I told them Charlie would beat Moran. They told me that Charlie w'as too light and all that. But I knew Moran was making 133 ringside, and Owen was taking White lightly. Charlie stopped Moran in nine rounds and proved my assertion. I lost the match and $5,000. Moran never has been any good since that fight, and I don’t think he ever will amount to much again. That left hook of Charlie's will take the heart out of anyone White Mai Stiff Punch. When Lewis matched White with Britton. I told Nate that White’s only hope was to stop Jack. It was a good match at that, as Charlie has a good chance with any of them, and had everything to gain and nothing to lose. And. believe me, if Charlie ever caught Jack on the Jaw Instead of on the neck in ;he seventh round, it would have been good night with Britton'fe* claim for a chance nt Ritchie's crown. Luckily Charlie hurt his hand landing the wallop, and had to do the rest of the milling with his right member. Charlie After Britton. When Charlie returned from the match he begged Lewis to get him a return engagement. Lewis, how ever, told Charlie to wait until took on a couple of pounds. During the entire eighteen rounds of milling in the recent Britton-White go, the former never even floored White Charlie told me that Britton never even staggered him. A badly cut lip caused blood to flow from Charlie's mouth and made it look bad to the ministers around the ringside, and they appealed to the Sheriff to stop the bout. Now, can you imagine a boy weigh ing 128 pounds fighting Jack Brltfon at 138 and putting up the battle he did. Jack is one of the leading claim ants to a match with Ritchie, and is also one of my greatest rivals. Yet Charlie to-day would be nearly an even-money bet against him. Blow Travels Four Inches. Yes. if Charlie White had five more pounds in weight he would he light weight champion of the world. If the lightweights were fighting at 133 pounds ringside, Charlie White would be an even money bet against the best of them. He has the one big advantage over all the 133 pounders to-day. He has. the punch, and it only travels four inches. If I had his wallop I would box any heavyweight in the world to-day. Take my tip and watch this boy's rise in the next year. All Set for Polo Match To-morrow BUT IT MS C HICAGO, ILL., Aug. 5.—Johnny Evers, manager of the Cubs, started to weed out several of his veterans yesterday when he announced the disposal of Ed Reul- bach, for years a West Side star, ami Mike Mitchell, outfielder. Reulbach was traded to Brooklyn for Eddie Stack. Th e latter is a for mer Chicago semi-pro twirler and has pitched fairly good ball for Dah- len's crew. Reulbach has been an in and outer all season. When in form he is one of the greatest hurlers in the country. Waivers were asked on Mike Mitchell, but Fred Clarke, of the Pi rates, refused to allow him to go to the minors. He will probably be used regularly In center field or may be kept as a pinch hitter. Ward Miller will be used in left field for the Cubs. The Atlanta polo four await with Interest the announcement of the quartet representing the Seventeenth Regiment, which will meet them In the first polo match ever put on in Atlanta, scheduled for to-morrow at the big parade «rround. There has been much rivalo for places on the officers’ team, and there probably will be a long list of substitutes left over when the final selection is made. The Atlanta squad is composed of Captain J. O. Seamans, Albert S. J. Tucker, E. M. Landrum p.p' 4 Milton Wise. All arc experienced in the game. Preliminary to the match there will be gymkhana events—wrestling on horseback, a mounted tug-of-war, and other equestrian sports and ex hibitions. The officials for the match are Colonel M. E. Carthew-Yorstoun, referee; Robert F. Maddox, timer; Wilmer L. Moore, scorer; and James R. Gray and Clark Howell, goal judges. AUSTRALIAN HANGS UP NEW MARK FOR 300-YARD RACE HOT SCRAP EXPECTED WHEN FLYNN AND SMITH HOOK UP NEW YORK, Aug. 5.—If there is not a real slugging match at Madison Square Garden next Friday night there will be a good many fight fans badly dis appointed. With Jim Flynn and Gun boat Smith to provide the slugging, it is hard for any one to believe or even suspect that there Isn’t going to be a fight. Two better men for the job would be hard to find. So far as condition goes, both men are fit and ready for the gi ng The consensus of opinion favors Flynn, and while there isn't much money being wagered on the result the probabili ties are that Flynn will rule a favorite In whatever betting there is.

N EW YORK. Aug 1.—Manager George Stovall has departed from hitherto to yon In search of talent. A friend of his connected with the Wilmington, Del., club drop ped in the day the Browns arrived, and »nid h© knew two pitchers and a catcher who can hit. Stovall is hot so keen for the pitch ers. but he most surely would like a receiver who can awat the pill. Hence he departed for Wilmington In search of the Juvenile pljonom. He will look him over carefully and make recom mendation to Colonel Hedge* who has s-ald he will join the club in Bos ton. Manager Stovall did not get a chance to see the Wilmington pho- noms perform, as an adult rain broke loose Just as he arrived at the Dela ware ball yard. Hence $5 worth of perfectly good expen** money was wasted on a vain mission. Stovall did have a pleasant after noon with Bill Coughlin, the old De troit Otar, who is managing a club in the Tri-State League. Bill etlll plays once In a while, and says managing In the minors is no alouch job. Wanted Elmer Brown. Stovall, by the way, Is greatly dis appointed that Elmer Brown got away. “I told Mr. Hedges,’’ he said, “when Brown waa sent to Montgom ery last year that he should send him with a string attached, and he led me to believe that Brown went out that wav. , “Last year he woe not exactly right phyelcally, and could last for only six or seven innings. In that time he showed everything, but he would blow up. “I have followed his work carefully this year, and I understand he has been leading the Southern League. “I considered him too good a man to get away, and I wa* disappointed when shown clippings that he was go ing to Brooklyn. We need good right handed pitchers, and I am sure frorr what Brown showed and from h record thfc» year he was just the ma to strengthen our staff next season Nobody Consulted Stoval. “However, 1 was not consulted the matter. It may be that the club scouts have dug up a world beater !r. this Manning. “I know nothing of him, but I do know that I would like to have had Elmer Brown hack next season, and I know hs would have been a lot of use to our club.” Big Race at Motordrome To-night -1-9-b •!•••!♦ +•+ +•+ +•+ Richards and Graves to Clash H AS Tex Richards* days of su premacy over the motorcycle demons at Atlanta at the pres ent time come to an end?
