BUDDY'S BIG STICK EARNS HIM BERTH Marberry, Brown, Thomas to Split Toil in First Con- test at Memphis. C probably will get the call over Jack Hayes for the second basing job with the Na- tionals. With his club needing all the punch it can muster, especially if Goose Goslin, outfielder, who thus far has refused to accept terms offered, persists in his stand, Manager Walter Johnson feels he must sacrifice some de- fensive strength to get the added power in attack. Hayes is the surer fielder around the middle base, but Myer is the harder and more frequent hitter at the plate. And it now looks as though the Na- tlonals cannot afford to have out of their line-up a batter who swung for an even .300 last year and use instead who averaged just .276. ij BY JOHN B. KELLER.

RING GUARANTEE NIX AT CHICAGO STADIUM By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, March 28.—No more guarantees will be paid boxers for plying their trade in the Chicago Stadium. Henceforth the boys, if they wish to fight, must gamble on' a percentage Sheldon Clark, president of the sta- announced tl change in policy y. “We have reached the conclusion that boxing must be conducted on a business- like basis,” Clark explained. “We found it necessary to call a halt in paying these boxers what they thought they were worth. Their de- mands were exorbitant. If they are so confident they can draw such big gates, why not let them gamble, accepting a liberal percentage instead of demanding guarantees. In the future, they will be paid in accordance to their drawing power, and not & cent more. “The evil of this guarantee business shown in a recent experience in which one contest drew $60,000, and the stadium got only $3,000 as its share. The boxers got the rest” President Clark revealed that when he took over the presidency three months ago, the stadium had a deficit of $350,000, and under his management, $300,000 of that amount has been wiped off the books. He plans to retire soon, to devote more time to the interests of the Sinclair Refining Corporation, of which he is yvice president. He indi- cated that John F. Bowman, general manager of the stadium, possibly would be elected as his successor. GEORGETOWN’S BOXERS SET FOR.

O8 ANGELES, March 28.—Still lacking signs of being a cham- plonship ball club, the Chicago Cubs today faced the Pitts- burg Pirates in the second of their | four-game series. Against the Pirates yesterday the Cubs again demonstrated the hitting is there, but the pitching is not so good. They bagged 14 hits, including three homers, but the Pirates got 19 safe blows, winning, 15 to 10.

But his two outstanding qualities have always been generalship and passing. He could hit a fast end going down to handle a pass upon either the right or left ear at 30 yards. And there grubnbly never been a quarterback who andled a foot ball team with finer effect than FPriedman once handled Michigan elevens. He has continued his fine play as a_member of the New York Giants and he can give Yale, or any other team a lot to work with if they can pick up and follow his stuff. It always seemed to me that Benny Friedman and Bo McMillen were about as keen and brainy as any two quarter- backs in history. Both were marvels at mixing up the passing game with the running game and thereby com- pletely upsetting the mental morale of the dazed defense. I recall in one game where Bo Mc- Millen, then with Centre, carried and passed the ball 180 yards against Harvard for two touchdowns, using only one other back. And this happened without Centre giving up the ball. Yale can just as soon get a couple of tips from Benny Friedman that may IF!‘IE to the same general result next V.

McGEEHAN —— Touring Abroad Sullivan and Mitchell. APLES, Italy.—At this place I received a letter bringin, lated vindication of a gladiator who always was the a be- in of the piece, according to legend. The gladiator was Charley Mitchell, twice the opponent of John L. Sullivan. As far as I can recall, nobody ever said a good word for Mitchell, and this ap- plies particularly to John L. Sullivan himself. But in the last batch of mail there is a letter from a very charm- ing and bright old lady who knew Sullivan and Mitchell well; in fact, she held the stakes for Sullivan’s first fight in New York City. She is the widow of Harry Hill, who ran Hill's Electric Light Palace, which was frequented by that sturdy gentleman of the old school, Mr. William A. Muldoon, and by Jem Mace and by scores of others who were big figures in the sporting world when the sporting spirit | really existed in that world. Mrs. Hill writes me: “‘The Sullivan Legend.’ written by you, pleased me, | especially when you did not mention the name of the giver of that famous diamond belt or the newspaper it rep- resented. The giver was not a friend | of John L. at any time. “Charley Mitchell-was a grand char- acter, a bulldog in the ring, but a kinder man God never made. When Sullivan was down and out, with his eyesight failing, Mitchell heard of it. I wrote and told him of it. “‘He crossed the Atlantic (he had no other business) and went to Sullivan’s home. John L. was with his sister at that time in Massachusetts. Mitchell | was a real jolly fellow. When he ar- rived at Sullivan’s retreat his first greeting was, ‘Ah, John, old boy, you look like a bale of hay!" They shook hands and talked and laughed. “Mitchell gave Mrs. Delaney (John's sister) several pounds. Of this I am positive. Mitchell was alwi & money getter and a giver. “When Billy Madden went to Eng- land (after a falling out with Sulli- van) to find a man who could fight John L. he liked Mitchell's get-up and said: ‘Yes, vou will do, although you are a middleweight. But we will have to give some more exhibitions to get the fare’ “Madden said he was never more surprised in his life than when Mitchell said: ‘Here is £200. Let us go to the States.. I'll fight Sullivan if I die in the ring.’ Then he said: ‘You bet a quid that I'll not die in “;e ring’ He died in England years after. “Of their rieeting no doubt you know. Mitchell had advantages John L. never had—a wife and four children. When he knew his end was at hand he cross- ed again to the States to bid old friends good-by. Of the last two letters he wrote one was to Bat Masterson and one to me. “He held no animosity toward any He just wrote to me: ‘I am about your daughter and her husband. Faith- fully yours, ‘C. MITCHELL.' “Yes, I have pleasant recollections of my friends in sporting world. I was out of the city and did not read the John L. story until last eve- ning. I regret I did not see you, as I could Have told you of a humorous remark made by John L. before he boxed for the Prince of Wales, when Arthur Brisbane was with him and they refused Brisbane admission. “John L said: ‘If this young fellow does not get in, then I'll not go in.’” The Sporting Spirit. HE letter of Mrs. Hill gives some rather different notions of Mitchell, the gallant gladiator of another day. In all of the Sullivan stories and legends Mitchell stands out as a hard- ened sort of character, with no sports- manship and no humanity. ‘There is the story of the classic re- mark made by Sullivan in one of their encounters. It was on the turf, and the fighters wore spiked shoes. Sulli- van accused Mitchell of spiking him on shins, ol‘l alleged | others were in | could be only one Boston Strong Boy, the great exaggeration. was on Sullivan always, and all of the shadows. There the one sublime egotist, who announced that he could whip any man in the world and made good on the boast for a considerable period. But in Mrs. Hill's letter we get some inkling of that fact that in the days of John L. Sullivan there also were other gladiators with the sporting spirit. Only in the Box Office. are those who will tell you that the “great game has improved since the brutal times of the bare knuckles and the battles of the turf.” But has it? Picture to yourself the scene in Harry Hill's Electric Light Palace when Jolin L. Sullivan made his debut in New York. Mr. William A. Muldoon, then a young man and the wrestling cham- plon, was the sponsor of Sullivan. Jem Mace had been offered the match, but d:'ckumd"l‘: .:’rl. Hill 'ml:'ho!dingoflla stakes, purse was to the winner. e In a few rounds John L. Sullivan of the unknown a a family in need. Mrs. Hill passed the purse to John L. Sullivan and Sullivan promptly put the $50 into the hat that was being passed for the vanquished gladiator. And now we have Cafnera, sur- rounded by parasites, local and foreign, times the purse that John L. Sullivan got for the first sincere battle at Harry Hill's Electric Light Palace. Com- mercially, the game may have improved, but in any other respect I say that the times, the men and the cus- tomers had stiffened up considerably. I am wondering how long the thing would last if some of the visiting heavyweights had to prove themselves by taking on a volunteer opponent with the bare knuckles at a place like the Electric Light Palace for $50 if they won and nothing at all if they hap- pened to lose or if they did not dem- onstrate to the spectators that they Were endeavoring most earnestly to fight. The only improvement that Madison Square Garden holds over the Electric Light Palace is in the matter of the box office. BOXER WALKS FROM RING, DIES SOON AFTERWARD PITTSBURGH, March 28 (#).—Billy Hatch, Pittsburgh negro flyweight boxer, died at a hospital last night following upon a bout at McKeesport with George Tomaskey, also of Pittsburgh. There were several knockdowns in the fight, which Tomaskey won, but during the bout there was no indica- tion that either fighter had been in- jured. Afterward Hatch walked to his dressing room unassisted and there complained of pains in his head. Hatch, who was 19 years old, turned professional two weeks ago after a year’s fighting as an amateur. gentleman, Charley—if you can—you blankety-blank.” In all of the many statements attributed to Sullivan he never had a good word for the Englishman. who caused him more annoyance than any fighter until James J. Corbett subjected him to the final annoyance. But perhaps this de- nunciation of Mitchell was part of the game. Then, as now, the glad- iators always were supposed to be bitter enemies, and tried to make it appear that every fight was a grudge All those associated with John L.
