Final matches will be staged Monday. ‘There was considerable spirit shown by the boys who did their stuff last night, but only one K.O. was forthcom- ing. Mickey O’Connor, Northeast boy and protege of Harry (Kid) Groves, fighting in the 160-pound class, came across with the big wallop. O’Connor, who_heretofore has been better known for his base ball playing with the Red Sox A. C, let loose a hard right after a minute and 45 seconds of fighting in the first round to send Ben Hall of Victory Post, American Legion, hurtling for the count. Another bout which pleased the fans was the opener, in which Leon Shub scored over Willlam Reed in the 118- pound class, the former triumphing by decision after the match had gone the limit of three rounds. Four of the five other bouts were de- cided by decision and another on a foul. It was Ben Reed of the Rockville A. A. who won on a foul. Reed was rest- ing on one knee after being knocked down by Jack De Lacey when the latter socked him a right to the jaw. The Rockville boy immediately was awarded the fight.

Some blasphemous persons once tried to prove that it was merely a development of round- ers—whatever they may be. But up at Cooperstown, N. Y., they have the original diamond on which the first game of base ball was played. Only it is not a diamond, but a lq"um. I "Maj. Abner Doubleday, who fought with the Union Army during the Civil War, is credited with bein, the inventor. A dispute over base ball did not start the Civil War, for the interest in the game was not so highly developed at Even if the game of base been evolved from rounders or bounders in the first instance it since has become thoroughly American. No sport more thoroughly reflects the American char- acter. In the game of base ball the greatest delight is in elevating a player to the heights and then letti him drop to see how hard he can fall. In the national pastime the hero of today will become the “big bum” of tomorrow. Then there is another reflection of the national character. The umpire never is right as far as the players and | ouf the majority of the spectators are con- cerned. Mr. Kipling, one of our se- verest, critics, write undef “The American Spirit Speaks” about “making the law he flouts and flouting the law he makes.” Base ball brings out - this characteristic, too—base ball f.nd pro- hibition. Mr, William A. Muldoon, who has been assoclated with professional sport for more than sixty years, said that there was some base ball played by soldiers of the Union Army, but it was not until the '70s that the game really began to develop. The first base ball in this vicinity was played in an inclosure known more or less appropriately as the Elysian Plelds. In the '80s base ball proportionately was even more popular than it is day. By that I mean that there were more amateurs playing the game in proportion to the population. Then came & time when the gentlemen who had their money invested in base ball parks began to ome alarmed at the waning interest in the national gut.lme. At the current writing, though, there is in progress a great revival of interest and it seems fairly certain that the national pastime shall not perish from this_earth. It always will remain the Ameri- can game because to other countries it 15 quite incomprehensible. I should say that to the Briton base ball remains as much of an enigma t0- Aml?hom'mph Semie Bro, by Allen &%flm uarfiufmm' Shoemakers, m Gallun’s Vege- ‘anned Calfskin cost us in London & Guineas 30" made table E iR ts that time. ball had as cricket does to the American who never has visited lords and even to many who have visited the shrine of cricket. Mr. john Joseph McGraw headed two educational expeditions which tried to rouse an interest in base ball among the benighted foreign nations. The tour was pleasant for Mr. McGraw and the athletes who accompanied him, but the results of the missions were negligi- ble. is there any well an: taken it up, but not in big leagu way. remewber when Claire Sheridan, the sculptiess, a true Briton, visited the Polo Grounds to see a more or less crucial game. She looked at some of our great athletes with true British dis- approval and her sole comment was, “I should like that at least they would start their game in clean flannels.” 'T might be risky to attempt to go back too far in. tracing the develop- ment of the national pastime. I am passing up some of the earlier heroes, the Clarksons, the Ansons, the Kellys and the rest, to consider the Old Orioles, where inside base ball started and where the national pdstime really emerged as a big show. There are still survivors of the Old Orioles who are active in the develop- ment of the game. There is John Joseph McGraw, the “master mind” of the New York Giants. There is Wilbert Robinson, 50 years in professional base ball and still the greatest of the base ball leaders. His record of seven hits for seven times at bat, in the days be- fore they used the “rabbit ball,” still stands. The sage Kid Gleeson is on the board of strategy Gillicuddy of the Philadelphia Athletics, |g.(n world champions two years run- ning.

At that time base ball had not be- come as highly commercialized as it is at the current writing. The Old Orioles ate, drank, slept and lived around base ball. Their pay was ridiculous as com- g:rad to the ers of today, but their arts were in the game, and that pay did not matter greatly. ke Tncks pame, They § ew game. sistible team, and ?M nth degree that essential so dear to the man in the box offce—color. The Orioles were of the romantic age of base ball. HAT what the boys eall “color” is essentlal to the financial success of any base ball team was demon- strated by what happened to that almost perfect base ball team, the Athletics of Mr. Cornelius McGillicuddy. This ma- chine was so perfect it seemed to win base ball games with & monotonous regularity which in the end seemed to bore the fans. ‘There were no temperamental players ‘There was no discipline needed. The athletes would report to the ball park in the same somiber fash- jon each day, and they would win ball games, genmnu and world champion- ship without excitement and without in- spiration. They merely played base ball and they played it perfectly. From the standpoint of base ball it was one of,the most successful teams ever bullt, But from the financial standpoint its success was not lasting. It finally began to dawn on Mr. McGillicuddy that the cus- tomers did not wani their base ball too perfect. His team was winning base ball games, but it was beginning to lose money. If the end Mr. McGillicuddy was forced to scrap the perfect machine and to sell his players one by one among the othér base ball clubs. The patched- up team descended into the cellar and remained there or thereabouts for years. Then Mr. McGillicuddy started to build another pennant winner. This took a matter of something like 15 years. The present team of Mr. MeGillicuddy is not near as perfect in its technique as the team that was scrapped, but it has held the world champlonship for two years, and it is doing nicely as far as the box office is concerned. Which would indi- cate that “color” in s base ball club is much more desirable than technical perfection. SPORTS.

We not only extended a cordial invitation, we issued an open challenge to the Whole Wide World. We offered a reward—a pair of Regal Shoes free, to any one who could pick out the eight expensive original models from the ‘eight Regal Reproductions, which were shown side by side in the every Regal Store from New York to San Francisco. During the Contest the stores were erowded and the windows were blocked, Customers, Competitors, Shoe Manufacturers, Shoe Salesmen, Bootmakers and Bootleggers all accepted our invitation. \ Now of course, our only object in making this bold challenge was to absolutely convince every one that it was practically impossible for any one to tell the difference. windows of You would naturally think that a man could easily tell a $28 hand-made English shoe from the Regal Reproduction at $6.60. You would certainly think any man could pick out Anton Nihleen’s $48 Buck Brogue, if it was placed right beside a Reproduction of the same Style, made by Regal for $6.60, But as a matter of fact they couldn’t tell Which is Which! Not onq man in a thousand who were invited to look at the New Spring Models in our wine dows could tell the difference between the expensive custom-made original models and the $6.60 Regal Reproductions.’ On Monday morning the judges broke the Seals, took out the boot-trees and certified that there were eight Genuine Tustom-Made Originals and eight Regal Reproductions. This week we put them back in the window with the labels exposed, in the same position as they were during the Contest.
