And necessity, he declares, s the reason. Spectators who saw Burns in the recent series here between the Giants and Phillies were surprised to find that the popular outfielder again had all the speed, the ability to hit and the rare judgment in the outfleld which he seemed to lose after leaving the Glants for the Cincinnati Reds. Burns explains his comeback as due to the failure of a base ball glove manufacturing company, in which he had Invested the bulk of his $25,000 savings, to meet with success. “Ab- solutely broke,” was the way Burns described his condition when he re- turned to the game this season. His_ decision to return this year brought an offer from a minor league club in the South, but he was con- fident he could get back into his stride in the majors, and that con- fidence was shared by his old Giant roommate, Arthur Fletcher, now man- ager of the Phillles, who gave Burns the opportunity he sought. ON DEMP?EY'S TBLIL. 1. Floyd Fitzsimmons, Middle West 1 boxing promoter, has arrived in New York to negotiate with Champlon Jack Dempsey for a contest in Mich- igan City.

SANDE’S MOTHER FINALLY FINDS THRILL IN RACING EW YORK, May 1.—When a lad named Earl Sande ran away from his Groton, S. D., home several years ago to join a rodeo his mother decided that horses weren't to be trusted. They had lured her boy out into the world, and she hated them for it. . But when Earl became a famous jockey Mrs. Sande, proud of him, forgave him. But she didn't forgive the horses, and when Sande urged her to come East to see him ride she always said no.

BY DENMAN THOMPSON, Sports Editor, The Star. N the opponents of the tionals today and tomorrow Washington base ball enthusiasts will see a club that looms as likely to reward the patience of Philadelphia fans, who have been waiting for a decade for their representatives in the American League to accomplish some- thing worth while in the pennant race. From 1901, when the circuit in- vaded Quakertown, through the season of 1914, teams piloted by Cornelius McGillicuddy enjoyed an unprecedented era of success, that 14-year period producing no less than half a dozen banners for the Athletics, who also finished in the runner-up position three times, and in only two seasons failed to land in the first division. _ Starting with the campaign of 1915, after the lanky leader broke up his then famous combination, which included the incomparable inner quartet of Baker, Barry, Collins and McInnis, the House of Mack slumped from its mighty estate, and for seven successive years earned the un- enviable distinction of finishing in the cellar.
