Schmeling and Stribling Meet in June : 1889 Giants Most Popular Ball Club ', WINNER IS PLEDGED T0 FIGHT CARNERA Garden Agent Handles Bout, Which Will Be Decided Outside of New York. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Pasociated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, January 14.— Max Schmeling and W. L. (Young) Stribling have signed for a heavyweight title bout to be held in June, and thereby precipitated what may develop into a bitter duel between | the New York State Athletic Com- | mission and Madison Square Gar- den Corporation. Under terms of a contract drawn up and signed yesterday, Schmeling and Stribling will meet in a city to be selected 90 or more days before the match, with the winner defending the title against Primo Carnera, Italian man-mountain, in September. Carnera arrived here from Europe yesterday. The contract was signed by repre- sentatives of the three heavywelghts with the Madison Square Garden Cor- poration of Illinois, & subsidiary of the New York Garden. The Stribling- Schmeling bout will be fr the benefit of the Hearst milk fund, which will not figure, however, in the second match between Carnera and either Stribling or Schmeling. Under a fur- ther agreement the ultimate survivor will defend the championship for the milk fund alope in 1932. Entrance of the Madison Square Garden Corporation of Illinois int> the negotiations was expected in some quarters to lead to drastic action by the New York State Athletic Commis- sion against the New York .Garden. Carey Stands Aside. Bill Carey, president of the New York Garden, took no part in the proceedings, in view of the commission rule forbidding promoters to deal with suspended boxers. Both Schmeling and Carnera are under ban In this State. Carey insists, however, that the Il- lnois corporation is a separate, dis- tinct organization end therefore eligi- ble to negotiate with any boxer, so long as there is no violation of the rules of the Illinois Boxing Commis- sion. Whether the New York commis- sion would accept this explanation was considered doubtful by most ob- servers. The commission consistent] has championed the caus: of Jack key, Boston sailor, stripping Schmeling of his title when he declined to sign im- mmwg for a return bout with Shar- key. solons contended that Der Maxie promised to give had Sharkey first chanee at the title and that he must live up to his ise.

HICAGO, January 14.—Chicago's fighting fish peddler, King Levinsky, stands on the thresh- old of greater fame or fistic oblivion, Tonight he meets Jimmy Blattery of Buffalo, former light heavy- weight champion, in & return engage- ment at the Chicago Stadium. If the Kingfish can prove his recent victory over Slattery wasn't an error on the judges' part, he will pe “made.” If he loses, he probably will go back to the big fish scale on Maxwell street for good. Levinsky, one of the puzzies of the ring because of his meteoric rise on the momentum of a graveyard punch and no defense, was given the judges’' de- cision over Slattery in their first 10- round engagement in the same November 6. The decision was booe as most of the fight fans believed Slat- tery was an easy winner. Two weeks later Levinsky met defeat at the flsts of Tommy Loughran. The Slattery camp grew more indignant and demanded to- night’s rematch. Slattery was a big favorite to whip the Kingfish b:cause of his greater boxing ability, although Levinsky was confident of whipping over one of his famous sledgehammer blows and win- ning by a knockout. Sinee his first bat- tle with the Buffalo boxer, Levinsky has changed managers—a change which many believed would work to his disad- vantage in his .?m‘u battle tonight. Charlie Retzlaff, Duluth heavyweight and one of the best punchers ever to invade a Chicago ring, will tangle with George Nerom, New York Greek, in an 8-round wind-up. CLAIMS BILLIARD MARK. S8T.

EWING AND MUTRIE MADE ‘TEANY LIKED Only Three of Outfit That Played Great Game Now Are Living. BY GEORGE CHADWICK. ITH the death of Roger W Connor at Waterbury, Conn., has passed the last member of the famous infield of the old Giants of 1889, regarded by base ball his- torians as the most popular team that ever played the game. Connor was first baseman on the Giants of 1889. His infleld mates were Danny Ricinrdson, second baseman: John Montgomery Ward, shortstop, and Arthur Whitney, third baseman. Only two of the great pitchers of the 1889 team and one outfielder survive. The pitchers are Mickey Welch and Tim Keefe and the outfielder is George Gore. The other outfielders were Tier- nan and O'Rourke. Buck Ew! and Bill Brown, catchers, are also dea Popular Everywhere. The popularity of the Giants of 1889 was not confined to New York. It ex- tended over all that part of the United States which was interested in ball. The mere fact that the Giants had come to town to play base filled a hotel lobby, and the players were entertained, dined and made so much of that, except for the possession of sound sense, they might have never won a pennant. Jim Mutrie, r of the team, was partially responsible for this. He is still living, though in feeble health. It was he who coined the phrase, “We are the people,” which followed the team wherever it went. The superiority he always vaunted was one of the best advertising plans ever devised. smaller cities the fans were never-fail- ing spectators at the ball gmes played by the Giants, hoping see them soundly thrashed. Yet they never left a ball ground sour against the Giants, because the latter always gave them a ball game. to be remembered. mana, ‘Those who were intimately acquaint- ed with the affairs of the club knew that two factions contended in it for a Says * SPORTS. s while.

The play- ers liked him, yet they were not re- sponsive to his g. They admired his theories, but they did not like his way of putting them into execution. Ward officially was captain, but the | captain in those days was generally the playing manager. John B. Day, owner of the club, knew there was something wrong, but he was undetermined as to the cause of it. Finally he hit u a plan of making Ewing captain. It was the most fortu- nate move he ever made. Without of- fending Ward in the least, Ewing, who was a born diplomat, took charge of the team om the fleld and not only made it win, but assisted Mutrie making it popular, Ewing liked nothing better than to chaff with the spectators, argue with the umpires, kid the players of the other team and crack jokes, and did it all with such good grace that Pop Anson of the Chicago White Stockings, who was envious of the success of New York, declared Ewing ta'ked the team into the 1880 championship, One of the best helpers that Ewing was Connor. The big first base- man did not like Ward as well as he liked Ewing. Connor did not say much. The other players respected him be- cause he was reserved. Another fac- tor on the Ewing side was Welch, and still another was Keefe and, oddly enough, they were among the least demonstrative men of the team. ‘When Mickey Welch refers to the old Gaints in he says: “Boy, there was the greatest base ball team of all of them, and Tim the greatest pitcher.” When to his old team he invari- ably says that Welch was the greatest | {:":hw, ‘There was no envy between | t pair.
