C, JULY 25, 1926—SPORTS SECTION. ports Writers’ Fight Helped Jack Kearns : McCarthy Has Done Well With Cubs FUSS IS GREAT BALLYHOQ CRUSADER IS VICTOR FOR THE YANKEE MANAGER IN CINCINNATI DERBY Kept Public Interested in Stable of Pugilists Travel- mg With Jack—Murray Was Beau Brummel of the American Aggregation.

You never saw mch wild Frenchmen in your life. ly as I expected, instead of actually Of course, they had tumbled to the trick now, but we played dumb. Quandou’s manager raced around ying to find Watson in tho crowd. kept shouting, “Bal-lounce,” *“Bal- nce,” “Ballounce” at the top of his lungs. He finally got hold of Watson and tried to pull him back to the scales as; he fairly rbr teked “Bal Tounce,” “B a I lounce.” Watson laughed right in his face, he was so funny. We all laughed when it came to that but with a show of great in- dignity I refused to permit my man to get on the scales again. The KEARNS, Frenchman was raving mad by this time, but what could he do about it? Watson had made the weight right before his eyes—yes, and before the silver dollar pleces had taken it on the roll. It was one of the funniest experiences 1 had in the land of the Kangaroo. I didn’t lose my $500 forfeit, a lot of dough In those days, and Red won the fight, knocking the Frenchman Kkick- ing in a few rounds. 1 don't tell this story to prove that I'm a wise guy but only to illustrate the necessity of always being a jump or two ahead of the other fellow. It is part of the racket. You had to be on your toes, especially when your stable was one-quarter ability and three-quarters _ballyhoo. 1f the Frenchman could have put one over on me he would have done it. Des- camps didn’t mind trying it whenever he could and Quandou’s manager was no_different. To this day I can hear that little crowd of Frenchmen belly-aching about the scales. They put their heads together and chattered like parrots. But when it came down to cases, they were as_hungry for the purse as we were. They were just as far from home. And money, even in Australia, does considerable talking. Murray Hit of Troupe. Billy Murray was the hit of my troupe of course. He was a Portu- guese and had all the quaint conceit of that race. He loved to strut. He was killing.. He wore a monocle and he was dead on the level with it. He thought it part of the picture. He spent most of his money dolling him- self out In the height of Australian fashion. He swung a cane and there were no gloves yellow enough for him. He would have made poor Battling Siki turn green with envy. He dressed for dinner and when he went to the opera. he wore the soup and fish, top- per and boiled shirt. They liked him, though I'll say that some of the Irish looked on that monocle with consid- erable suspicion. I fancy that had he not been a pretty darned good fighter, many of the natives would have taken a sock at his windowed eye. He was a riot wherever he went. The sporting editors took me up and some of them took me down Es- pecially “Major,” one of the leading writers of the country. He had never known ballyhoo at its balliest and he began to write me ragged. At least he thought he was doing so. He only stirred up old Bill Corbett, his hated rival and a thorough newspaper man. Bill was with me and my little army of fighters. “Major” was against u I was sitting pretty, in the middle of their fight. 1 didn't care what the “Major” said about me or my fighters. The more he said the greater my pub- licity, for Corbett fanned the Kearns end of it and they began to believe me, whether they wanted to or not. When I got to telling the newspape> boys that I fed my men raw meat and pickled their faces in Texas beef brine, T smoked the “Major” to & thousand per cent. He got to characterizing us as “Yankee swin the best proof in the world that we had him winging. He was looping them from the floor now, but it was all in the game. They wanted me to fight him a duel with horse pistols, hayhooks or bolo guns and it took some tall old stalling on my part to make the fans believe that 1 was really going through with it. “Major” Really Booster. My only fear was that the “Majo would drop me like a hot brick and that Bill Corbett’s plant would burn down. I never had got into a nicer ballyhoo spot.. A man couldn’t have wished for more had he a champion or two in his stable. “Major” had not learned the lesson of real ballyhoo that a knock is a boost and a boost is a knock, but well mixed up, ballyhoo at its best. I couldn’'t have asked for better straight men than Biily Murray and Red Watson. Of course, Red wasn't for the dude stuff. He didn't have quite the gall of Murra; ‘The Portu guese lived the life of Reilly. Crowds follov\ed him around the streets. If there was a great commotion at a principal street crossing, you found Billy Murray’s canary-colored gloves or one of his neckties. All this time the fans were writing into Corbett and ‘Major,” some against the Kearns outfit, others strictly for us. My part of the busi- ness was to keep these. factions as far apart as possible, and when any of my fighters came to the ring, you could bet that they’d all be there, some to root against and some to root for us, but happily though, all having paid for the privilege. It was part of the business of be- ing a showman and having learned it all from my barroom schooling to the advanced theories of P. T. Bar- num_himself, I fared rather well. I kept “Major” steamed up to the boiler explosion poipt all the time T was in Australia. I used to burn him up when I'd come in, slap him on the back and sit on the edge of his. desk to broadcast the latest achlevement of Billy Murray, Red Watson or some new wonder that I was going to import from the States. He couldn’t get me at all and I was happy over his bullheadedness. He had decided to disllke me and my stable and thank the gods he never changed in that respect. I was s good for a yard or two of while his peeve was on. He one of those pecullar souls who Accept® the inevitable: = * * men were figh‘ing before big houses. No matter how often they got licked they fought before big house And after all, that was just what brought me to Australia. “Major's” only chance to do me any injury fvould have been to shut right down on_panning me. I was for taking him home with me for a town plant. I told him so lone day and he grew purple with |rage. .1 know that I ruined the “Major's” whole life, Johnson Aided Game. Boxing had drifted on the rocks in Australia, so to speak, until Hugh MclIntosh steamed it up with the Jack Johnson-Tommy Burns fight. John- son, a good showman, helped Hughie put over the fight, the greatest thing Australia has ever known. helped by pretending he was a broken down old shell of himself. He walked around the streets wearing blue gos- gles and his legs looked quite un- steady. The fans shook their heads and said it would be a cinch for Burns. I'm afraid that even MclIntosh fell for Johnson's kidding. I'm not so sure that Burns didn’t. He must have known that Johnson was a great fighter, though I'm afraid that Burns had_a pretty good opinion of himself. He was always a cockey fellow and fearless, too. But when he saw the bathrobe fall off Johnson's shoulders that day he knew he had been tricked, for there never was a finer looking specimen stripped for action than Johnson. He ate Buras alive. This bout revived interest in boxing and on the strength of it McIntosh organized the three great stadiums that now play such a part in Aus- tralian boxing. The pity of it is that the boxers themselves have not kept pace with the stadiums. They've had as long drawn out a slump as any country will have in boxing and boxing material, hut the Darcys, the Griffos, the Jacksons and the Fitzsimmonses will come again to Australia. They may come in bungHes and as suddenly as Darcy did. The real cause of the slump is the lack of competition from the outside world. It is competition that makes for boxers, and with this in mind the stadiums have sent an agent on a world tour to book men to Australia, so that the home talent will meet up with new opposition. It is certain that a country that produce@ so many champlons will come' again with a new Darcy or even a heavyweight who could have whipped Bill Land or Bill Squires. They treat an invader with more than passing fairness. If you can fight you will.get along with them. Jimmy Britt was a big hit with them. They liked his swagger, well dressed ways and Jimmy knew how to sell himself. They have a peculiar way of letting rou know whether they like you or not. They count you “out” if you're a bust. Actually count over you as it Yyou had been floored. Flops Counted “Out.” Pity the bird who flops in their eyes. They don’t hiss or boo. You can be a dancer, a singer, a violinist, a story teller or a fighter. It makes little dif- ference, You come out to do your stuff. You get a fair hearing, but make good or you go “out They. begin to count—"“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.” You're finished. Wash up and get your tickets on the next boat for home. The word passes quickly, I suppose, for once counted “out” you don’t go over in any other town. I imagine they have their own peculiar standards of ability, and you've got to meet them. I tell you it's terrifying when they begin that old “ten” chant on you. And once started, out you go for keeps. You're through in Australia.

VIENNA, July 24 (#).—The Amer- ican tour of the Austrian Hakoah foot ball team, the best players in the country, has had a sequel in the disintegration of the squad. “Seven players, ‘which cannot be replaced, have refused to renew their contraéts because they have got engagements in America,”” the club manager an- nounced sadly. Croquet probably is the only truly amateur sport in the world. BASE BALL SECRETS y Sol Metzger E"fltffiw- 0K NG Watch the Runner on Third.

E. Lee Le Compte, tate game war- | den of Marylan contemplates urging | establishment of license requirements throughout Maryland similar to those instituted by Delaware recently. Six Maryland counties now have local license laws regarding fishing. Delaware’s campaign against fishers from other States began with the ar- rest of five men from Pennsylvania for fishing in /Salmons Lake, near Chesapeake City, Md. The lake is two miles in length, La Compte said, about one-third of the area of the body of -water being in Cecil County, Md. Since there are no local license laws in Cecil County, no fees are required from persons fish- ing in the Maryland part of the lake. Delaware requires purchase of a license costing §5. Six Maryland counties—Garrett, Allegany, Washington, Frederick, Car- roll and Dorchester—require $5 license fees from non-resident fishermen. Increasing of the Maryland non. resident hunting license from $10 to $15 is being cogsidered by Le Compte." ‘West Virginia and Pennsylvania have | recently raised the cost of non'resi- clcngt1 licenses issued in those States to § Abolishment ‘of the present county and State hunting license, now cost- ing §1 and $5, respectively, also is being considered. It has been pro- posed to sell a $2 State-widé license to take the place of the present county and State-wide licenses in Maryland.

Dreder’'s analysis, based on a picture of the presidential catch in the hand of Gov. Smith, €xploded the asgertion that it was a wall- pike. The first was termed a pike (Esox lucius) by Breder, who identified it by. the light spots on the sides.

EW YORK, July 24—Joe McCarthy of the tribe of McCarthys that has sent several big leaguers to the national gariie of A into the National League this Chicago got him, and just about woke up and went after him. They taken under the wing of William Wri merica, came season to earn his spurs. | that time other major league clt were too late. McCarthy had been igley, jr., who had been born around the block from McCarthy’s home, in Philadelphia, a man who had nonc too easy a time getting his first million or two, or even his first dollar or two. Major league folks said they would give McCarthy a season to earn the right to one spur. not McCarthy does more than he has he has already earned two'spurs. Major league managers seldom dis- cuss rival managers in public. In pri- vate they are not so reserved. Some managers have nursed their little grouches against other managers for years. Outwardly they don't show them, but if you get them where they think they are talking to a dead wall they are apt to open fire. Not So Different. There.are some major league man- agers who thought that the methods of McCarthy were too minor and too STREAM BY PERRY MILLER.

The pickerel has a network pattern that has no re- semblance to the ordinary pike. He | explained that the wall-eyed pike has | two dorsal fins, while the President's | pike had but one. Judging the length of the fish frém the photograph, Breder estimated it to be about 4 years old. Assuming the length of the fish to be correct, this authority said the fish was a rather undersized spectmen by some 4 to 6 ounces. The sixteenth Field and Stream an- uual fishing contest is now under way. Anglers everywhere will receive prizes of tackle and outdoor equipment total- ing over $2,700 in cash value. There art 13 classes of entry for game fish and each division carries three or four prizes. Competition is open to every one and there are no restrictions or strings attached. The object of the contest is “to encourage better sportsmanship in fishing.” In the interest of angling, fisher- men should enter game fish which seem large for the locality in which they are caught. No one knows the results of the contest until the judges pass upon the entries at the end of the season, and as comparatively it pays to enter any fish which is rea- sonably large. Complete details of thg contest are published in the Feld Stream magazine. “Mhers hac hosn pa diminishine o i{:terest in fishipg along Chesapeake ay. The catches off Chesapeake each the past week have all been heavy. There has been a marked variety and some of the rockfish have been of the larger kind. A few trout also have given added distinction to some of the catches, but the lowly Norfolk spot has been ‘much in evidence. The latter are running now in large schools and are of a size to make them a very desirable substitute for [the waning hardheads, C. F. Ripperger has been going out about a mile or more in the deep water off the Beach and has brought in some very fine hardheads. A few trout and rockfish also have been landed. Willilam Smith alternates fishing from a boat and the long pier at the Beach and has been getting some very fine results. A visitor from the District cast his line into the 6 feet of water near the Hazard lunch quarters last .week and brought in a big fat rockfish. It was one of those rare and unexpected incidents of fishing life that contrib- ute to make the sport so alluring. The second attempt to rid the Basin of the big carp will be made within a short time. Permission to again make this attempt was secured from Maj. Grant, superintendent of of pub- lic buildings and parks of the Capi- tal, and an order for new nets was immediately placed with a Baltimore firm.
