By OW (Copyright, 1 CHICAGO, July YL, SCOTT ‘asper. Tribune) —Deprived of a chance tp have a referendum on prohibition, Ilinois liberals are glee fully taking up the fight to bring le galized boxing back to this state— the one rtunity left them by the the tA to throw off shackles of restraining laws, The forces favoring prize fights believe they will have a sweeping victory this fall when voters act ually can get out to give voice to their opposition to — prohibitory legislation, The Federation of Churehes and some women's clubs are just as convinced that the same voters who knocked out the saloon will keep out prize fighting. The same sort of battle lines are forming in Illinois cities over the boxing issue as formed in years past over the question of abolishing tho saloon, Chicago, with its eye to future attractive big-money fightr, is gitding for the biggest and most Important tussle. By a big vote, the last legislature decided to turn the question of box ing or no boxing into a local option proposition, The thought was that Chicago would be able to get the fights she wanted in this way a the same time stir up enough, inter. est generally to get legislatures in other states to open once again the opportunity for prize fighting. >.

BROWN By Back in 1901 the Pittsburgh Pi- rates stepped to the front in the National League, to refen supreme for three years What a team of stars trotted onto the field in Pirate uniforms every day that first year! The pitching stafl included J Tannehill, Ji Chesbro, Deacon Phillippe and Sam Lever. Handling these famous moundsmen were Chief Zimmer, hero of the bare-hand days, and Jack O'Connor. And the list of stars didn't stop there. Hans Wagner, the one and only Honus, was just starting on his brillant career which was to go down in baseball history as one of the most brilliant ever recorded Kitty Bransfield was an infield mate Tommy Leach was another man in the inner defense And o left field roamed an: other sta ‘red Clarke, It was his leadership that carried the club to that pennant he repeated half his stars—almost jumped the American League, but Clarke carried on. ‘That fall the first of the modern world’s series was staged between the Red Sox and Pirates. Clarke had high hope of winning that series when the Buccaneers won three of the first four games, but the Red Sox nosed them out with a spectacular comeback and won the series with five victories out of the eight games played. Give Adams Chance | Six years later Clarke led another | team to the flag—a team that intro- | duced Babe Adams to fame, Adame, a rookie playing his first year with the Smoky City outfit, pitched and won three games in the world's jes against the Tigers that fall. Now Clarke {a back on the job with the Pirates and fans are won- dering if his presence besp other pennant—or a row of them. Clarke was signed recently to act as assistant to the president, ney Dreyfuss. His chief duty will be to act as aide de camp to Bill MeKechnie, pilot It is one of t ear to ew ca. in ba ball, too, where such a move wouldn't be looked upon as an ef- fort to “ease out’ the managér. MeKechnie is popular in Pittsburg. D weeks of the ite expected stride, there was no criticism of Bill's methods, The team was going good when Clarke ed it. The feeling is that Clarke, vorking harmoniously with Me- Kechnie, will bolster the weak spots in the team's play and help build up a defense that will be ready for emergency duty. another example of the all man who can't be se BDS— SAY, DID YOu READ SHAT © FELLA THREW @GELL U26 FEET, THE OTHER OGY FOR @ RECORD ~~ SS Ne tae ce THEIR FST ‘TWo PENNars HALE OF HIS Vi Ge 7; STARS SumPeD) / ] My Teacue, ZB When he stepped out as pilot some time after the 1909 campaign Clarke felt the urge to become a gentleman farmer. He was tired of the hustle and bustle of tons, He thought he had seen enough baseball, But after a@ year or two he found himself re- turning to Pittsburg once in a while to see the Pirates in action First few times he sat in the grandstands, But that didn't give him the real kick. He found his way to the bench and more often watched the game from that vantage point There was a time when you could buy any ball player thet the Phila- delphia National league club had, The club always needed money. That's why the Cubs got G Alexander, ace of the Ph ing staff, and Killifer, his ba mate and now manager of the Chi cago team But times have changed. The success Art Fletcher is having with the team is filling the coffers. There is no need for the extra “dividends” from player sales. In fact the club would hesitate to sell @ atar now at any price for fear of checking the merry spinning of the turnatiles, This attitude is indicated in the refusal of the club to lat to offers of from $50,000 to $75,000 for Jimmy Ring.
