Sullivan Made
No Appointments,
Says Secretary
Mulvey Not Chosen as Assistant
Director of Exposition Sports.
Says Ferris.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—In reply to the
open letter in San Francisco yesterday
by President John Elliott, of the Pacific
Association of the Amateur Athletic
Union, expressing resentment because
of the reported appointment of Thomas
Mulvey as assistant director-general of
amateur athletics at.the Panama-Pacific
Exposition, announcement was made to
night that Muivey was not given the
post, but merely had been expected to
confer with James E. Sullivan, director-
general, in September relative to boxing
| at the exposition.
The letter of Mr. Elliott announced
that inasmuch as Mulvey had no stand
ing in amateur sport, since he is a tight
promoter, the Pacific Association would
not allow coast athletes to compete at
the exposition if Mulvey was assistant
director-general.
The announcement here that the re
port or Mulvey’s appointment was incor
rect was made by Daniel J. Ferris sec
retary to Director Sullivan. Mr. Sulli
van is abroad.

Vean Gregg Proves
Himself Workman
Nap Twirler Does Regular Job as
Plasterer After Joking
With Men.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—Sometimes
you can beat a fellow at his own
game.
They’re finishing up a skyscraper
across from the Naps’ hotel here.
Plasterers are the busy parties there
now.
Vean Gregg and a couple of Naps
went over to see the . workers toil
away recently.
"What do you think of their work,
Vean?” asked one of Gregg’s compan
ions.
"Oh, pretty fair," replied Gregg.
One of the plasterers immediately
became grouchy and said aloud, for
the ball players’ benefit, "Lot of wii •
guys looking on here. If you nskel
one of these ball players to do a
man’s work, he'd faint.”
Gregg rose to the occasion. “Lend
me your tools and that long coat for
a minute,” he said.
The plasterer grinned and complied
with Gregg’s request, fh'nking it a
good joke. After Gregg had done a?
pretty a job of plastering as any **f
them had ever seen, at a spot selected
by the workers, they were willing to
concede that Vean had slipped one
over on them.
"You can never tell what a man
may be able to do by the clothes *ie
wears,” said the surprised plasteri-r.
as Vean surrendered his clothes and
tools.
KANSAS PLAYERS GRADUATE.
GREAT BEND. KAN'S., Aug. 23.—
Pitcher Riley and Shortstop Smith, of
the local (Kansas State League) team,
were sold to-day to the Wichita (West

of the ten games he pitched for the
Great Bend club, and Smith also has
made a splendid record. -
JERSEY CITY GETS DON LI N.
JERSEY FITY, N. J., Aug. 23 - Mike
j Donlin formerly star batsman of the
(Hants, unconditionally released recently
by the Philadelphia Nationals, signed a
contract to-day to play with the Jersey
Glty elub of the International League.
He will report to the rlub on Monday.
KIRK AND DIXON REMATCHED.
FORT SMITH. ARK . Aug. 23. « .life
Kirk, of St. Louis, and Tommy
of Kansas City, were to-day romatched
to fight fifteen rounds here on Labor
Day.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 23.—Manager
Miller Huggins, of the St. Louis Car
dinals, is having troubles of his own
attempting to build' his team up. It
is said he stands ready to trade prac
tically any member of ids staff if It
will strengthen his forces.
The Cardinals were long tail-
enders. At the season’s start Hug
gins was reported to have said that
if he did not have a fir$t divPdon
team by July 15 he’d quit. His play
ers failed to gain the first division,
and Huggins did not resign, so it !s
to be presumed that he feels he can
still make good as manager and boost
his team up.
Ed. Konetchy, Harry Sallee. Bob
Harmon and even the recruits will be
swapped if there is a, chance to
strengthen the club. Negotiations
have been opened with the Giants.
Reds and other clubs, and if the Car
dinals can get the long end of the
deal anybody will go, barring Hug
gins himself.

Johnson 1 would never make the mateh

By Tiek Tichenor.
I N amateur golf in this country as
a general rule It is the young
golfer who is in the limelight,
while In England old John Ball and
Harold H. Hilton still hold the cen
ter of the stage In almost all of the
Important events, as they have done
for the past twenty years.
If any investigation was made of
the ages of the players who qualified
last in tin* amateur championship In
this country I firmly believe that 1*
would develop the fact that 75 pif
cent of them or 24 of the 32. who
successfully weathered the qualifying
day, were under 30 years of age,
while ti?any of them were around
the 20-; f ear mark.
Fhick Evans, who is the pride of
the West, even though he was beat
en by young Allis In the Western
championship, is hardly more thin
21 and there ai a host of others
about the same age around Chicago,
which is the golfing center of the
West, who may not shine quite so
brilliantly as Chick but who are
able to put any golfer to his best to
have them down at the finish.
In the East. Jerome Travers, the
present title-holder and the only man
placed at scratch on the handicap list
of the U. S. G. A., is hardly more
than 25 or 26. Of course there la
the grand old man. Walter J. Travis,
who is always dangerous In any
tournament, who is the exception to
all rules as he did not take up the
game until he was past 35 and yet
has won two, or is it three, cham
pionships. As a winner of tourna
ments big and little, large and small
—I believe that Travis would easily
head the list in the number of prizes
won during the year.
In the South the young playeTs do
not stand out in such numbers a?
they do in the East and West. This
is very probably due to the fact that
In the beginning of the game in the
South the idea was prevalent that It
was an old man's game and It was so
generally laughed at by those who
had never tried it, that for a 1 ?ng
time it did not seem attractive enougn
to draw any of the youngsters away
ft cm their other games.
Within the last three or four years
there has been a change In the idea
entertained by the boys as to the
game, and they are more and more
taking It up and seeking to master Its
Intricacies and overcome its difficul
ties. There are at this time In the
South quite a number of boys who
have the foundation of a good game
well started and who will In the course
of two or three years give any player
all he. wants to defeat them.
It was only last May that Rollo
Steinmehl, a 15-year-old boy, upset
the dope of the Birmingham Invita
tion tournament by winning it when
he was practically unknou-n even to
the members of his own club. A few
weeks later he went to the Southern
at Montgomery and made a credita
ble showing during the early part of
the week, but the constant grind of
36 holes a day wore him out toward
the end and In his match with Hardy
he was not able to play his game at
all.
Charlie Hardy, of New Orleans, is
another youngster who made his de
but at Birmihgham In this, his first
tournament away from home, he had
a bad case of stage fright and did
not make much of a showing. This
tournament, however, taught him a
lot of things, and he made a fins
showing at the Southern a few weeks
later. He qualified well up in the
championship flight and won his first
match, but lost his second In a close
match with Jack Edrington, who was
going very well that day. This put
him in the second flight, where he
worked his way to the final. Here he
nuft W. H. Rowan, w'ho was playing
par golf on nearly every round, and
he went down to defeat, though he
made a brilliant effort in the after
noon to regain the big lead Rowan
secured in the morning.
D. S. Weaver, of Memphis, had his
?on, Dudley, at Montgomery last June
for his first experience In a tourna
ment away from home. Before the
tournament this youngster did some
good work, but the qualifying round
got *>n his nerves and he failed to
qualify.
Down at Savannah they have a
youngster. Fred Howden by name,
whom T saw play In a learn match last,
winter, and who has all of the ear
marks of the making of a good play
er. For a youngster, he drives an
exceptionally long ball with a good
carry to It, which is absolutely neces
sary to clear the old fortifications,
which are us*d as hazards on nearly
every tee shot at Savannah.
Here in Atlanta there are three
boys, who, if I do not miss my guess,
are going to give anybody a lot of
trouble to beat them In the course
of two or three years. They are
Perry Adair, Bob Jones and Frank
Meador. All of these boys can get
around the East Lake course In less
than ninety, which Is better than a
large majority of the older players
can do.
Perry and Frank have both been
around in 84. while Bob reeled off an
even 80 a couple of weeks ago. This
Is a good score for any player in the
club, but when a 12-year-old boy,
who won’t weight over 75 pound*,
causes a golf ball to travel around a
course 6.400 yards in length in 80
stroke®, It is remarkable, in big let
ters.
In doing this round little Bob was
out in 38 and back in 42, which is
one stroke better than bogey on each
side, while his total score was only
five strokes over par.
Give theoe boys a few years to
obtain additional weight and strength
and they will be making golf history
in the South or I miss my guess.
Love is the big
fellow at the
top. Dent is

Greatest Pitcher Ever Seen on Diamond,
Says Hans Wagner of Mathewson
H ANS WAGNER, of Pittsburg, In speaking of Matty, says:, “Mathew
son Is the greatest pitcher ever seen on the diamond. Rome may
differ with me, but I have batted against him many times, and
J nut when I thought I had him, he would shoot one over, and I went to
the bench. He has as much speed now as he e/er had, but as he
can win game* without using It, he does not resort to trying to knock
the catcher down. I remember one game he worked against us last
summer In which he did not use a curve ball. He had such excellent
control that day that he used nothing bu.t a fast, straight one. You
can say for me that I think Mathewson is just as good to-day as he
ever was.”
Four Lads Destined
To Play In Majors
Three Sterling Performers in New
York State League; Another
In Canadian.
NEW YORK, Aug 23. — Four
yohngsters who are destined for high
places in baseball are playing In the
New York State League and the
Canadian League.
Mike McNally at short, and Joe
Leary, at fir*t, for Utica are the real
sensations of the New York State
League. Leary, it is said, will go to
Cleveland In the fall and McNally to
Detroit.
The playing of McNally Is described
*‘as the most marvelous in the history
of the league.” The boy Is playing
his first year In professional ball.
Leary 1» not a big man, a* first
basemen go. but he is playing the
best first base the league has ever
seen.
"Pinners” Quinlan, left fielder of
the Scranton team, seems a big
league sure shot In 1914. He ha*
played professional ball two year*
vs 1th his home team, and a losing
team. In any other place, Quinlan
would hit better than .280. his pres
ent average. He has been looked over
