C HICAGO, Aug. 29.—Mr. Warron
Wood, our brilliant Western
amateur champion, will not en
ter the National this year. The an
nouncement comes as a surprise to
his hundreds of admirers and to his
personal friends, and it means a dis
tinct lessening of the West’s chance
to bring home the championship. We
had expected much of Warren this
year, and his absence from the big
competition at Garden City is a
grievous disappointment to us. It
weakens the Chicago delegation to a
regrettable extent, but we admire the
courage with which Warren has put
aside the most fascinating pleasure
in the world for the good of his busi
ness.
This is the busy season of the year
with him. During the week of the
tournament Warren will do doubt in
dulge in occasional surreptitious
dreams of a beautiful golf course and
trailing galleries and little white balls
in arrowy flight through the air or
running swiftly over velvety greens
to the waiting hole. He will probably
hear, in imagination, the clapping of
hands, the rustling movement of the
heart of the golfer. Yet Warren, at
the top of his game, has the courage
to forego all the pleasure of compe
tition that he knows so well and to
devote himself to business. He has
had a very liberal vacation this year,
a month in the Ncfthwest and a week
for the Western, and has put tempta
tion aside and will work his hardest
during that long first week of Sep
tember.
But we, the Chicago players, who
are going to Garden City, in spite of
our admiration for his conduct, are
lamenting. We had counted upon
Warren to make a good fight, and
we are a rather small band to at
tack the numerous and valiant East.
Perhaps other Western cities wi.l
come to our rescue. I, being a burnt
child, am not rushing overconfidently
into the fire.
Many other Chicago players have
deserted golf for business this year
There is Albert Seckel. devoted to
business ?ince his marriage, and D.
E. Saw yer, equally devoted to money
making just before he enters the
strange land of matrimony.

Cases of Tinker-Chance Prove

SIR D.FLBTfi
By Otto C. Floto.
D ENVER, Aug. 30.—The muddled
condition of the middleweight
division regarding the cham
pionship is in a measure attributed
to the ten-round route. II is claimed
that the distance is too short to pro
duce a real champion. That twenty
rounds are required for this, and that
if the longer journey wore adopted
we would have a recognized cham
pion in that class. All of which
sounds reasonable.
Boxers of to-day adapt themselves
to a short stay within the ropes. To
make this a profitable thing they
school themselves to box ju$t Wiough
to enable them to "staff” 'along by
clinching and holding to last for ten
rounds. Then, as a rule, the average
referee pronounces the bout a “draw.”
the 6 cha'mp^onsMp 1 remain* I But they didn’t br.n K bin, success
Always five or six contenders vvitn i
claims and not a single one with cre-
HE theory that the ball club has
quite as much to do with the
winning of a pennant as does
the manager, and the old saw about
a “manager must have something to
manage before he wins fame,” will
have two converts and two strong
ahherents at the end of, the good year
1913.
One is Frank Chance, and the other
Jo- Tinker.
At the start of the season, great
things were expected of the Yank'
and of the Reds. Why? Because of
Chance and Tinker. Those great
things have failed to come to pass.
Because of Chance and Tinker? Not
at all.
It’s doubtful whether there ever
was as weak a major league ball
club as the one Frank Chance took
hold of. He has been strengthening.
He has made some radical moves
He has been trying to get possessior
of youngsters who would help him
In adding to his reputation as a great
manager.
Joe Tinker has discovered that you
must possess something in the way of
good Dali players if you are to get
anywhere. His experience as a short-
| stop and his ability to field and hit
| did him a w orld of good as a player.

E AST LAKE tennis Is looking up.
Of course, the Cotton States
Championships, which begin
September 8, will be the Loud Noise
on the famous red clay courts.
But In the meantime—a sort of
preparatory fuss, as It were—the reg
ular club tournament is to be played
off, beginning to-morrow.
Registration for this event has been
going forward some time, and it is
expected to bring out some brisk ten
nis, which will serve to put the club
veterans on edge for the important
Cotton States tourney.
The latest entrants to fasten their
names to the list over In the Town

Ragsdale, C. M. Ramspeck, A. (J.

IN the days of finish fights or in the

was a doubt as to who was the real j
leader of any division. Men who
fought during the period when dis
putes were staged “on the turf” never
left the ring until a winner and a
loser had been established. Then no
arguments as to the verdict were dis- j
cussed, because we might say “The 1
bouts refereed themselves,” and the j
only use for the third man In the ring j
at that time was to guard against ;
transgressions of the code and to an- |

Unless Jim Griffin, of tian Francisco,
consents to referee the light between
Willie Ritchie and Freddie Welch, at
Vancouver, there is danger of the bout,
set for September 20. being called off.
Griffin has declined, but Ritchie’s man

The Canadian police have refused to

ground It would not be surprising to see

Welch can not fill the September 20

JENNINGS TO DEFY EDICT.
DETROIT, MICH. Aug. 29.—Not
withstanding the National Commis

ball nlayers, Hughle Jennings to-day
announced that he will defy the edict
by covering the world’s series for sev
eral Eastern papers this fall.
Plan Sunday Ball
For Massachusetts
NEW BEDFORD, MASS., Aug. 29.
Citizens of Massachusetts may be
permitted to say for themselves this
fall if they favor Sunday baseball.
In its campaign for a more liberal
Sunday, the New England League is
advocating a State referendum, and
as a test an ordinance has been In
troduced in the New Bedford City
Council calling for a vote on whether
Sunday ball shall be permitted In this
city. It is admitted that the State
law may prevent, but the sense of the
voters will at least be determined If a
vote is allowed. President Winsper,
of the local New Bedford club, says
he believes if the question was sub
mitted to a referendum in the State
at the coming fall election It would
carry three to one in Massachusetts.
The law under which prosecutions
for Sunday playing have been made !s
two centuries old, and advocates of
the game say It Is not suited for pres
ent conditions.
O NCE a man had emerged from a
trial of this kind against the
claimants of honors of this or that
division he was the recognized cham
pion and Ills title was never ques
tioned. Not so now, and the middle
weight division lends Itself best to
the illustration. Dillon, Klaus. Flab
by, Papke, McGoorty and several
others all lay claim to championship.
Only one of them can be the leader,
and yet how are you going to dis
pute their contentions after listening
to the argument they advance in
making the claim. Ten rounds, as a
rule, is too brief a space to decide
a real winner between this lot. They
all know the game, and they all know
how to weather rough seas for a short
time. But make these same chaps
battle it out between themselves over
the marathon route, and we’ll not
be long in learning which of the group
is entitled to recognition.

Army and Navy May
Clash After All
ANNAPOLIS, MD.. Aug. 29.—Navy
officials to-day took steps Intended
to have the Army team cancel its
scheduled game on November 29 with
the Carlisle Indians and play the
Navy football squad Instead. The ac
tion of the Army officials in schedul
ing a game with the Indians on the
day set for the classic Army-Navy
game, following the deadlock over the
field where the Army-Navy game
should be played, has come as a shock
to the Navy officials.
The Navy to-day, It was said, urged
upon its athletic board to accede to
the Army’s demands that the annual
game be played on the Polo Grounds,
New York, fee)lng certain that if this
concession Is not made nothing will
induce the Army to cancel Its game
with Carlisle.
The Navy board wanted the game
played this year In Franklin Field,
Philadelphia, as In previous years.
The Army claimed the field was too
small to accommodate the crowd that
wanted to attend.
