The king is dead; and the king makers are at work be- hind the scenes, preparing for the world’s series con- vention which will name its successor. John McGraw, veteran Warwick of baseball will nominate the Giants, candidate of the National league.

If more than four ballots are necessary the fifth will also be taken here and the sixth will be cast in Washington. The site for the seventh, and final vote, unless a tie results, will be decided by the much sought deity, the little God of chance. The race in the American league, decided yesterday when Washington won from Boston, 4 to2, was another. victory for the tortoise over the hare, Washington, chronic tail en- der, a baseball wheeze as old as the mother-in law, plodded along stead- while the Yanke hare, browsed on * the sweet shoots of its reputation.

WALTER JOHN! TALKS OF RETIRING. BOSTON, Sept., 30.—With the American League pennant won, the Washington Senators of 1924 who accomplished what Washington teams have been trying unsuccess- fully to do for forty years, too things easy today. Their youthful mana- ger, Stanley Harris, whose rise from breaker boy at a mine to leadership of a champion team at 27 years of age, has fired the youngserts of the country, went to Washington over- night, acompanied by Walter John- son, Veteran pitcher, and Clark Grif- tith, president of the club, Johnson himself, achieving an am- bition to qualify for world series Play after a generation of D!chivs, said this might be his lost year in major league baseball. “T realize that I cannot go much further,” he said. “My arm is still good but I know I haven’t.got the stuff. I used ‘to have. When the season started I had fully made up my mind to retire at the end of this year. Now it all depends on whats comes up this winter. “If I can get located in baseball some where in the west that would suit me perfectly. I want to get set- tled. “I have four children and I want to get out of baseball before I get useless. If I can help Washing- ton to win a world pennant this fall, that certainly would be the time to quit.” ——————_— This year marks the silver anni- versary of the Western Golf asso- elation, which was organized at Chicago in 1899.

QUESTION—Is there any sense in sending a play up the sideline when a team is close to the side of the field? ANSWER—Very, frequently a play is sent to the sideline so that the runner may carry the ball out of bounds and his team thus be permitted to move it out into the field. But while the chances of a serious attempt to gain on a play close to the sidelines are not too good, yet when skillfully launched in the way of a surprise they have often suc- ceeded beyond expectation. In the Princeton-Harvard game of 1919 when the two teams were jammed up against one side #f the field Strubing, the Princeton quar- terback, made a valuable game at a crucial time by tossing a forward pass over the line to a recelver run- ning straight down the sidelines. ‘Walter Eckersall made one of his famous runs when the Chicago eleven, playing Wisconsin, was close to the sideline. Eckersall fell back as though for a punt and the Midway team was aligned in punt formation, The position of the ball, the down and the muddy conditions all indicated ‘@ punt. Yet when Eckersall received the ball, after feinting a punt, he deftly stepped between the opposing end and the sideline and carried the ball deep into Badger territory, from his own 20-yard ne before he was downed. The tricky field general is always liable to pull something even when his team is crowding the sideline. Tf you have some question If you want to know anyth Write to John B.

NEW YORK, Sept. 50.—The open- to form on Saturday. This is to say there were no upsets. rtoly Cross was held to a low score by Catholic university, but this was a surprise only to those who do not know how gridiron af- fairs are progressing at Catholic. ‘Wisconsin showed strength against North Dakota ‘and Georgia Tech against Oglethorpe showed that Bill Alexander has started in right to capitalize the excellent material that has come to hand this year. Down. in Texas, Baylor ran into someth! in Simmons and was pressed to Win. West Virginia Wes- leyan did not make «s good a show- ing against West Virginia as the Methodists had hoped. Syracuse, Cornell, Dartmouth, Georgia, Alabama and Colorado did che expected, but Penn State, while running up a large score against lowly Lekanon Valley, was scored against, a field goal, In these mod- ern days, however, it is the lucky, rather than the skillful eleven, that keeps Its escutcheon free from blots. Pennsylvania's yictory over Ur- sinus was’ achieved in a workman: like manner. It is clear that the Quakers nave backfleld assets this year such as they had not had in some time and with an alert and powerful line, even granting that Penn's age-old theories of line play stili obtain—the Red and Blue is certain to have a football eleven after the old nsylvania standard. ee E | SPORT BRIEFS MEMPHIS.—Jimmy Cox, Mem- phis welterweight, won a decision over “Young” Stribling, Macon, Ga., ght heavyweight, in eight rounds, ST.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—Johnny Atfer he had been beaten by Dundee, one time- featherweight and| Mickey Walker and had lost the junior lightweight champion and one| welterweight championship, . Brit- ton’s friends thered around and joined sorrowfully in the ceremonies incidental to the closing of a great ring career, But that career was not closed. Britton perhaps thought he had no more need to fight and ‘no doubt of the greatest little boxers that ever lived, will soon retire permanently from the ring unless_pe wants to stain his fine record with the final chapter on his back.

Weighing 132 pounds, he* was saved from being knocked out in the Bernstein fight only by hig stout heart and his smart fight- ing head. If little Dundee was willing to pass ®@ $100,000 title to avoid being knock- ed out, he ought to retire for good, because it seems certain that he will be stopped the first time he meets a hard-punching lightweight. The beating Bernstein gave him will do him no good, because he has reached the age where recovery is not as easy as it is with a younger fighter. Dundee's resignation put the box- ing commission in a perplexing po- sition. The commissioners alw have insisted that they do not de- sire to act as a promoting body or as a matchmaker, but they are elng forced into that role. They had the fdea once that an elimination tournament among all the contenders for any title would be an effective and wise way to treat all contenders justly and to find a legitimate champion, But the lightweight tournamens didn't work at all. With a featherweight champton- hip in fts lap, the commission hard- ly knows what to do and in justice it might be said that no one has suggested the proper way to proceed. The International Boxing Federa- ‘on, which tries to govern the sport on the other side hasn't had much luck in placing and replacing cham- vions, and even the restrictions placed upon the holders of the Lans- lale belts in England have not pre- vented the British champions from running away and ducking compe- tition. Dundee’s case is far different, however. He gave up a title and now the commission is forced to run after a champion with a crown instead of a paddling stick. pe ia Lio FULTON TO BE DRAGGED OUT Scheme Seen to Mend Ring Reputation of Luis Firpo. By FAIR PLAY (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—As the writer predicted some time ago, they are going to drag Fred Fulton mto the white lights ones more. Fred is an important part of the scheme to resurrect Luis Firpo's punctured rep. The plasterer will be Firpo's op- ponent in Madison Square Garden late this fall if the federal author!- ties do not decide that Buenos Altres’ sunny. clime is better fitted for a man of Luis’ romantic tendencies. The idea is that Firpo will beat Fultén as quickly as Wills did and will show that he is coming back as the Wild Bull of old rather than the ‘Tame Ox of the present. The tall Minnesotan has it in him to put the kibash on Rickard’s fair scheme, but the chances are he will not let it come out. Fred is a fine boxer and has a hard left, wiih a right that can de something more than dent. a butter ball. But Fulton, on the other hand, ts credited with a nature of such ex- treme kindliness that he lets the other fellow do the real fighting. If someone could ever push him into a ring, not beaten before a blow is stru& or shortly afterwards, Fred could make himself a lot of money. On the level, Fred can lck Luls if he goes after him. Firpo is a hollow shell of what he was when he met Demps WALKER BOUT IS POSTPONED PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 20.—Ratn today caused a postponement until tomorrow night of the welterweight title bout between Mickey Walker, the champion, and Bobby Barrett of Clifton Heights, Pennsylvania, at the Philadelphia National League base- in the ring and neither was Brijton,|dee made in his recent fight with ball park. ‘ but Dundee punished himsdt mak-|Jack Bernstein, the New York jun-| _ ing all kinds of crazy weights and|ior Mghtweight, when he was all] Statistics show that, as a general Britton was happy in finding plenty | but knocked out, it appears that'rule, almost three times as many of competition at his natural weight.
