Whitney Says He Will Make Rushing Attack
TWO STAR SCRAPPERS
WHO MIX WEDNESDAY

[AM out to win the lightweight ti

day. "but I have a tough ‘bird'
to beat in Frank Whitney here next
Wednesday night. Of course I ex
pect to win, but I fully realize what
a worthy opponent 1 am going to be
stacked up against in the ring at the
Auditorium-Armory.
"Do you know that up around Chi
cago all the experts look on Whitney
as one of the toughest trial horses in
the game. He is a hard man to hit.
can take an awful mess of punish
ment and at the same time Is so awk
wardly clever that he Is hard to make
a showing against.
"I saw Frank work with Packey
McFarland in McConnell’s Gymna
sium last Wednesday. Why he gave
Packey an awful time for the four
rounds they worked.
"After the session was over Packey
came cfver to me and said: 'Charley,
old pal, that young fellow will give
you a rough voyage when you meet
In Atlanta, or I’m a bum Judge of a
scrapper.’
"Packey didn’t have to tell me that
1 was a spectator, although Whitney
didn't know it.
"But, do you know, I am glad that
1 saw Whitney work out against Mc
Farland. I got a. good line on his
style. And I am going to tell you
just how I Intend to heat him.
"Frank Is a rushing fighter. Well,
let hhn start leading and I will coun
ter so fast that he won’t know where
he is at. I believe that I can pick
off or stop any of his leads and coun
ter so hard that he will be willing to
let me do some of the heavy work be
fore the scrap has gone over three or
four rounds.”
With that Charley left us to go
back to his training.

of the office over ten or fifteen
minutes before Whitney came in.
When he w r as told that White had

Frank laughed.
"So he thinks that he can stop me
from Fading and rushing, eh?" re
marked the "Fighting Carpenter.”
“Well, I’ll make him travel faster than
he ever traveled before. I have never
been floored yet, and If Mr. White
thinks that he ran stop rne I’ll bet

take It from me, I will make a rush

UNUSUAL RULES AND
PLAYS IN BASEBALL
(No.5.)
By J. W. Hoisman.
N owadays no substitute can
get in the game without first
reporting to the umpire, and
the umpire first announcing to the
public and the scorers who the new
comer Is and whose place he takes.
This rule is all right, but it has only
been In existence a couple of years.
Once upon a time, a long, long tinv
ago, the umpire in a big league game*
had the time of his life In a dispute
over this very point with the great
and only Mike Kelly. The ’'KiiiK”
wasn’t catching that day, on account
of a bad finger. He always hated to
ornament the bench when playing
was going on, and as the game was a
close one. he was having contdderable
difficulty In maintaining his patience;
In fact, he was looking for most any
provocation to Jump Into the game.
Directly there went up a high foul
that went sailing away over toward
the stands, obviously quite out of
reach of either Mike's substitute
catcher or of the first baseman. In
stantly Mike sprang from the bench
and yelled to the umpire that he was
putting the other catcher out of the
game and that he wan going th at
once. After delivering this charm
ing BON MOT -or. rather, simul
taneously with it he took out after
the crazy foul and neatly pulled it
down. Coming In with the bull he
picked up his mask and protector on
the way to the plate, and with su
perb nonchalance proceeded to signal
his pitcher for what he wanted.
But the umpire said nay! This
was not according to the law and
the prophets. Mike dared him *o
show any rule to the contrary. The
umpire couldn't show any, but refused
to let Mike make any such dramatic
entrance just the s-wme. In spite of
the lack of law. Mike finally lost the
case before the supreme court of
baseball: but one can’t help admire
his quickness of thought under the cir
cumstances.
* 4 •
Y\7HEN the batter has made a foul,
the base-runner must go back
and touch the baMe he left. If the
foul fly was caught, he must also
touch all bases intervening between
him and the base he left, and If while
doing this the opponents get the bHll
back to the base he left before ho
arrives there he is out. But If the
foul fly was not caught, ho need not
touch intervening bases.
The runner is. however, supposed
to go back to the ba.^e he left with
reasonable dispatch, and If he does
so, the pitcher must wait for him. If
the pitcher will not wait for him, but
goes ahead with his delivery, the run
ner has the right to start again for
the next base ahead, right where he
is and without losing the time to go
back to the base he started from.
Most pitchers do not seem to be aware
that the ba.-e-runner has this right,
and they do a very dangerous thing
when they start in their delivery
without giving the runner a reason
able time to go back.
• * •
AFTER the pitcher has taken his
** position in the box ready to pitch,
the batter is not permitted to cross
over from one side of the plate to
the other. If he does so, he may
be called out.
Should the betsrnan desire to cross
over to the other side after the pitch
er is In his box. the only way he
can safely do so is to step backward
out of the box he is In and go around
behind the catcher.

^ OT only should the outfield fence
not be less than 235 feet from
the plate, but the backstop should not
be less than 90 feet distant from the
plate. This is the rule, but most peo r
pie are agreed that for the good of
the game it is better to have the
spectators closer to the Held of play
than this It is more interesting and
inspiring both to players and spec
tators to get closer when possible.
But if the backstop is less than 90
feet behind the home plate, special
ground rules are an absolute neces
sity. Now. it would surprise you
greatly to know how many captains
of amateur teams fail to grasp tlu-
•igniflcance of this lessened dis t&nce
and what the appropriate rule should
be in puch case.
When the backstop Is 90 feet back,
a runner is entitled to as many bases
as he can make, but he runs entirely
at his own peril. If the passed baU
has sufficient force to carry it clear
to the backstop, it is* clear that the
runner should be able to make at least
one ba«e while the ball Is being re
covered. for he can certainly runy 90
feet from one base to another while
the catcher is running 90 feet after
the ball and throwing it back to the
diamond. If the passed ball doesn't
go as far as the backstop, the runner
must use his judgment.
Now, if the backstop is less than

90 feet hack, and n passed ball hits it,
the high probabilities are that It had
sufficient force to have gone on to
a backstop 90 feet away bad the
backstop been back that far. In
other words had the backstop been
at the regulation distance, the run-
nor could no doubt easily have made
one base on that passed hall. Then
why shouldn’t he bo given the- one

In this case also the runner should
be made to run at h1g own peril,
when It Is their fault, not his. that
the field was not laid out according
to rule specification?. It must be
cl*»ar that If the pitcher is so wild, or
the catcher so unskillful, na to have
a passed ball at a time when there is
an opposing runner on base they
should certainly be charged up with
a demerit for such bad play, and what
demerit should or could this be but
for the opponents to get at least one
ba*«e out of it. as they certlnly would
<>n a regulation field? But to make
him run at his own peril writh the
backstop, say, within 30 feet of the
place means that when the fielding
tearti makes a bad play and has a
passed ball that passed hall will very
likely hit that near backstop with
such force as to cause it to rebound
right back to the catcher, and thereby
he is enabled either to keep the run
ner on third or. w r orse still, to put
him out at the plate even, and this
on their own had play and solely
through the unmerited help of an Il
legally-placed backstop. Clearly the
runner should be given the one base
and be entirely free from the liability
of being put out.

Other’s Claims.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9.—Tommy
Burns, manager of Arthur Pelk/,.and
Tom Jones, who looks aft^r the in
terests of Jess Willard, are booked to
hook up In an interesting battle of
Invectives and near blows within a
day or two.
Jones wants* to match Willard
against Pelky, but Burns In a tele
gram yesterday said that Wlllari
must go get a reputation before pre
suming to challenge a champion.
"Gunboat Smith is the man Pelky
wants to meet." said Burns "Smith
beat Willaftl, and then, again, Char
ley Miller shaded the Kansas scrap
per Let him get a rep’ for him
self."
This sort of language Is the sort
that makes Jones glad lie is alive, for
he thrives on argument.
"When did Pelky whip Willard, or
anybody of consequence, until he
landed a lucky punch on Luther Miv
Carty?" asks Jones. "Willard can
whip.Pelky. and Burns can name his*
own terms. Pelky took one beating
from Willard and wants no more."
As Willard holds a decision over
Pelky, it is probable that Jones* will
work that argument and a side bet
proposition overtime until Burns
agrees to a match between the rival
white hopes.

MACK WANTS NEW RULE
TO PROTECT BASE RUNNERS
PHILADELPHIA, PA.. Aug. 9.—Con
nit* Mack has a new rule to suggest
when the baseball magnates gather in
the fall. The sphinxlike leader of the
Athletics would have the base-runners
given more protection and have intleld-
ers restricted in blocking tactics.
When an infielder has deliberately
blocked the path. Mack believes that the
umpire should grant the runner his base.
He claims that the use of shin guards
by catchers and other protection by In-,
fielders makes it next to impossible for
a base-runner to g« t the goal sought
unless he has sufficient weight to bowl
over the opposing infielder.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—It is report

A wire says they are to meet on
October 20 in the Circus de Paris, the
weight to be 170 and the distance 20
rounds. Al Lippe, manager for Smith,
it is said, put one over on Tom
O’Rourke, who may have something
to say about the fight. Smith, how
ever. is a good card in Paris, where
he beat Adrian Hogan. Willie Lewis.

Jeff Smith to Get
Big French Plum
PITTSBURG, Aug 9.—Helpl Hoi-
lup!
There’s a citizen at Pittsburg—a
prominent citizen at that—who
doesn’t know Honus Wagner, of Car
negie, Pa.
"Wagner? Wagner? Is he really,
as you allege, a baseball player?"
This was Dr. William J. Holland’s
reply to a question propounded by
David Davies, of The Pittsburg Dis
patch. Dr. Holland is director of
Carnegie Museum and was said to
have received from the king of ball
players a letter offering to sell an old
uniform for 115. T^ils information
came from New York, the editor of
one Gotham dally being quite hyster
ical over the "possibilities" of the
story, to use his own words.
When Dr. Holland was approached
on the matter he was surprised. "I
don’t know Wagner," he said, "and we
are not conducting a hero fund at the
museum. No doubt this Mr. Wagner
is quite a wonder in his chosen line
of endeavor, and I suppose it is my
misfortune never to have made his
acquaintance."
"But, Doctor,” protested the writer,
"did you receive an offer from Wag
ner—did you receive any old kind of
an offer?"
"Man alive!” came the crushing re
ply; "haven’t I just told you that I
never spoke to Mr. Wagner, that 1
never heard him speak, that I never
received a letter from him, that I
never was called on the ’phone by him
—and that I never have given the
subject of his old uniforms any con
sideration at all? Next thing I know
they’ll be making an old-clothes man
out of me.”
Dr Holland was positive that there
was no chance of Honus’ discarded
raiment finding repose within the
classic confines of the big building
erected at Mr. Carnegie’s expense.
"The whole thing is arrant non
sense,” he said. "I don’t know who
is responsible for the circulation of
the ‘story’ (I believe you newspaper
chaps call it that); but I do know that
the entire yarn has been made out
of whole cloth.”
Poor old Honus doesn’t know where
he is since the circulation of this
uniform-museum story. Vowing that
he never has made any tender of his
worn-out scenery, he said yesterday
that he guessed "somebody was try
ing to kid him.”
"When I get through with a uni
form,’’said he, "there’s not much left
of it. Still, if Dr. Holland, the Car
negie Museum or any other body or
place wants what remains, I’ll sell for
$15. And I’ll be making money at
that.”

Luck Begins to Break for Griff
+•+ +•+ +•+
Injuries Gave Boehling a Start
By W. J. McBeth.
N EW YORK, Aug. 9.—Manager
Clark Griffith of the Washing
tons Is a firm believer in luck,
at le&jrt as applied to baseball. The
"Old Fox” certainly has had his share
of bumps. With the least iota of
breaks or good fortune he would have
landed at least two pennants for
Frank Farrell. This year he mignt
have driven the Athletics to cover had
his fine, aggressive young team not
been so seriously handicapped by in
juries to players
Griffith has had some pretty tough
luck in his career, and particularly
this sason. He seems a man destined
to always be on the threshold of great
fame without being able to find the
latchstring. „ He has had many buf
fets; but he has likewise enjoyed
some few favors of fickle fortune.
These came along now and then as
blessings in disguise. And not the
least of the lot by any means has been
Joe Boehling. the young southpaw
who so far has been the sensation of
the major leagues this season.
It wag on'y last spring that the
"Old Fox" deplored the. decay of
competent left-handed pitching.
"Fork-hand fling,” opined Griff "has
become a dead art.” Why Griff should
have been so melancholy on the sub
ject when two such able experts as
"Rube” Marquard and Eddie Plank
were on hand to refute the insinuation
is very hard to figure. It may have
been that all his life Griffith had been
disappointed in digging up a porrside
of real merit when at times such a
one would have spelled victory.
* * •
DT'T at the time when the ‘‘Old
1 Fox” was grieving most sorely
over his years of disappointment, he
had with him a young man who in a
•very few months to blossom out into
one of the real wonders of baseball.
Not since Russell Ford, of the
Yankees, and "King” Cole, of the
Cubs, in 1910, averaged well above
the .800 mark ip victory percentage
for over thirty games their first sea
son in fast company has any young
ster displayed the class of Washing
ton’s prize southpaw.
Boehling reeled off eleven straight
victories. *
Boehling is going to be of great help
to Griffith and Washington. The
team is pretty well out of the race
now. yet still has an outside chance.
Certainly next year, unless Mack
braces his pitching staff, the Old Fox
is likely to give the Athletics a fight
to the last ditch. Walter Johnson
and Joe Boehling form a pretty good
pitching staff as modern purling
corps go. And Griff has several other
young men, among them Engel, who
can give a pretty fair account of
themselves in the box.
But getting back to Boehling. He
has divided in hearts of loyal Wash
ington fandom a place this year
usurped by the great and only Walter
Johnson. His advent to fame has been
more or less of an accident. But for
the fact that Griffith was forced to
utilize him in the face of injuries to
seasoned twirlers. young Joe might

H ERE is his history:
Only back in the year 1911, when
Dr. William H. Parker, the dean of
amateur athletics in the Keystone
City of the South, kindled an Interest
in amateur athletics of every sort,
particularly devoting himself to ama
teur baseball, the medical man of
cherubic countenance, who la also a
police commissioner in R#*hmond,
formed and managed the Battle Axe
team, which won the championship
of the city In a league comprised of
eight clubs. Joe Boehling and Bill
Kay formed the star battery of the
Battle Axe team, which lost but two
games out of sixteen played.
Succeeding the amateur baseball
season, an intercity championship ee-
ries was arranged with the winners
of similar championships in Wasri-

championship was won by the Pepcos

the worth of Boehling and predicted
that he would prove a tower of

Griffith from risking the club's climtj
