KILBANEWOULD
WEAR CROWN OF
TED lfflM
CHICAGO. Sept. 20. Johnny KU
bane, the Cleveland colt, who
holds the featherweight title.
Is out with the announcement tha he
will be as busy as any champion in
the business this fall. Little has been
heard of the featherweight boss since
he was held to a draw by Johnny
I‘undec at Los Angeles in a cham
pionship tight. Kilbane went up to
Oakland, Cal . a short time after that,
outboxed a feather named Fox. and
then went quietly to his Cleveland
home.
When Nate Lewis and Charlie
White went to Canton on Labor Pay
for the White-Gritllths quarrel, Kil
bane was there with his manager,
Dunn. The latter was betting money
on White to win Kilbane, in a talk
with Lewis, outlined his plans for '
the coming season.
”1 will admit, ’ he said, “that 1 have I
not been very active m the defense I
of my title of late. But 1 am going
to get busy soon. I will make no
more careful lights from now on
Every bout I engage m will be a bat
tle. 1 intend to become the Terry
McGovern of the feathers and stop i
as many challengers as I can. 1 have
spent most of the summer on a farm
outside of Cleveland and now weigh
about 127 pounds. However. 122
ringside will still be easy for me. 1
' am in the finest physical condition
of my life and just itching for fights.*'
Lewis remarked when lie returned
I to Chicago.
‘ Kilbane looks unbeatable to me at I
■ 122 pounds. He will be great for
' !• ur or five years yet. probably as 1
ihe king of the class. Where is there
relght n » has a
, * hance with him*’ He will not risk his
I title at any other notch, though he
may box a few lightweights in short
bouts. 1 asked him to give Charlie
White a chance al the English feath
erweight limit of 126 pounds, but he
refused to listen to such a pro post
tion He's a great tighter, and it
will take a wonder to beat him some '•
one like Abe Attell at his best. ’

How the Pitcher Curves the Ball
II By THOMAS NUNAN
(Lines written for the elucidation, clarification and further promulgation
of truths presented by Professor Edgar Lucien Larkin in “The San
Francisco Examiner" of August 26, when the distinguished scientist
explained that “the equations determining the flight of a baseball In
air are far more intricate than the equations relating to the motion
of worlds in vacuous space.”)
Like motions of planets In vacuous space.
All baseball gyrations, in curving, take place.
As grapples the pitcher the bail with his hand,
in the catcher's big glove to compel it to land,
He figures in calculus just what to do.
•ut all the time keeping the bases in view. i
le gets the equations just right in his mind.
Still watching the bases—right, left and behind.
He recalls that the earth has a gravity pull,
While he also reflects that the bases are full.
Now the gravity pull of the earth, as you fatow.
Gives the ball a strong tendency downward tS go;
While the upshoot involves a phenomenon rare—
Gyrational speed, with resistance of air.
of course, gravitation keeps hold of the ball.
Or the upshoot, you see. w ould come down ne'er at all.
\nd resistance of air on the drop has effect—
Tis the air makes the ball from a straight line deflee-
These problems the pitcher with care studies through.
Though all the time keeping the bases in view.
The tnshoot. he knows, has a gyroscope swerve.
\nd the outshoot is just the reverse of this curve.
Complex integrations he still studies through.
\nd. result, he decides that the “corkscrew" will do.
Now, the "corkscrew," as merely in passing I'll say.
Makes the ball from its axis just wabble away
The problem at last to the pitcher seems clear. 1
And now he is bent on propelling the sphere.
But the men on the bases he still has in mind.
So he gazes to left, and to right, a id behind.
His arm he upraises, the force to impart.
And his fingers apply tne g? rational art.
He throws! On its axis the ball rotates thene. .
And the batter—he knocks it clear over the fence! I
Seeking Waivers on i
$21,000 Chappell
CHICAGO. Sept. 20.—Waivers.have
been asked by the White Sox man
agement on Larry Chappell, the out
flelder who cot-’t $21,000 In cash and
’ players, and he can be bought now
for $1,500, the waiver price, according
to reports emanating from American
League headquarters here.
Chappell has been with the Sox a
month and a half, and has batted only
a little over .200 in 32 games. He was
purchased from the Milwaukee Amer
ican Association, and was sought by
several major league teams.
Chappell is the second high-priced
ball player purchased from the minor
who failed to deliver for the Chicago
team. Russell Blackburne, shortstop,
cost SII,OOO several seasons ago, and
wae sent back to the minors.
Fine Chance to Breax
Old Hurdle Records
NEW YORK, Sept. 20 —J. I. Wendell,
the New York Athletic Club hurdler,
will have a fine chance to annex two
records in the games September 27.
The program contains a 100-yard event
over eight flights of 3 feet 6 inches, an<i
a 250-yard event over ten flights of 2
feet 6 Inches.
The record for the 100 yards is
seconds, made by H. L. Williams, the
Yale hurdler, in 1890, and G. Schwegler
holds the mark of 31 4-5 seconds for
the 220-yard event, made In 1889.
These odd distances are seldom in
cluded in modern programs and the rec
ords could easily fall before the sci
ence of up-t»-date timber-topping.
Football Solons to
Codify Regulations
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 20.—An
nouncement was made here to-day
by Dr. Janies A. Babbitt, member of
the intercollegiate football rules com
mittee and chairman of the central
board of officials, that the annual
! meeting for the Interpretation of foot
' ball rules will be held at the Hotel
Manhattan, New York, on Septem
ber 23, at 8 p. m.
Changes in the rules will be dis
cussed and all rules over which there
i may be some question as to their
t meaning will as far as possible be
. given definite Interpretation.
Olympic Plans in
Antwerp for 1920
| BRUSSELS. Sept. 20. —Antwerp has
I already commenced to prepare for
i the Olympic games to be held in
; that city in 1920. A committee has
I been formed and the support of the
most influential persons in Belgium
obtained.
The town authorities are to obtain
a vote of several millions francs for
the expenses, and everything is being
done to make the event a huge suc
cess. In recent years Belgium has
come to the fore in international

Red Sox Will Try Out
Mick’ Kelliher Again
BOSTON, Sept. 20. —Mickey Kelli
her, of Washington, a product of the
sand lots, will be given another
chance in the big l.*,gue next spring,
for it was learned upon reliable au
thority that the Boston Red Sox had
made the Hartford club an offer for
the lanky boy, and that the deil
would more than likely go through
within the next few days,
Kelliher is playing first base for the
Hartford club of the Eastern Associa
tion and putting, up a great exhibl-
I tion. He is hitting hard and timely,
and all of the Red Sox scouts have
advised McAleer to buy him.
It is believed that Kelliher stands
a fair chance to make good with the
Red Sox, as the retirement of Jake
Stahl has left Boston without the
services of a real first-sacker, al
though Clyde Engel has been doing
fairly well at that position.
World Tour Will
Open at Cincinnati
CINCINNATI, Sept. 20.— President
Charles Comlskey, of the Chicago
American League club, announced
yesterday that the first game of the
tour of the world which the New
York Nationals and the Chicago
American team will make this year
will be played in this city October 18,
From this city the two clubs will pro
ceed westward by easy stages to the
Pacific Coast.

WITH 33 IND 1
THERE really isn’t any use start
ing oft with the statement that
Waltej Johnson is leading the
American League pitchers. That line
might as well be kept in type, for
use week by week.
It may be said, however, that the
P.ig Smoke's record now stands at 33
victories and 7 defeats, and where the
seven came from is past guessing.
Following his spectacular feat of
winning eleven games without losing
one. Joe Boehling has slumped to an
amazing extent, losing eight games
■ out of the next twelve, his average
taking a correspondingly’ lower posi
tion in the list Houck, of Philadel
phia. and Cy Falkenberg, of Cleve
, land, are second and third, respec
tively, with Falkenberg showing the
greater value in his greater number
of times out.
Johnson, with 40 games to his ac
-1 count, leads in total games won and
lost, while Scott and Russell, of Chi
cago, have 38 and 37, respectively.
Following are the figures, includ-
; ing the games of last Wednesday:

Bernice R., Fast
Trotter, Breaks Down
CLEVELAND. OHIO, Sept 20.
Bernice R., termed the trotting queen
of the Pacific coast, has hopelessly
broken down and never wil' be able
to race again.
The bay mare set a mark of 2:07 1-2
on the California circuit last season
and had a long string of victories to
her credit. She was shipped here for
this year's Grand Circuit races, but
developed a fever, which caused her
undoing.
