NAVY “ROOTING” BARRED. ball Games Prohibited. Annapolis, Md., March 5.—The midshipment were mute yvesterday af- ternoon during their game of baseball against the nine of West Virginia Wesleyan, as a consequence of the or- der of the superintendent of the acad- emy that neither in the field, on the side lines, nor on the bench were the navy lads to utter an unnecessary word. TFor years the navy players have made use of a continuous and generally senseless chatter while in the field, their idea being that it infused life into the playing. Thoroughly dis- gusted with the practice, Supt. Ful- lam issued orders to suppress it, and about the only thing a midshipman said on the field was to call out who should take a fly. Apparently the change in the cus- tom did not detract from the mid- shipmen’s playing, for they won their opening game by 13 to 0. 2 parties. nnounce- lor Louis _that his 'ery encour- B - association ithat the de- 11 will result m that there, hether or not pn to start the D proach of the ay and the signs of be- Haven sit- was first sup- ions are that | ed to shut its PELKY KNOCKED OUT.

Reich’s showing surprised even his friends, and thec fact that he put the big Canadian ; away in three rounds, while Coffev took four to do the same trick, indi- cates that he is entitled to a match with Coffey.

Charles Anchowitz, who uses let- terheads on which it is stated that he is “lightweight champion of world,” will pass his twenty-fourth milestone today, having been born March 25, 1891. Mr. Anchowitz, y'understand me, Mawruss, is just the family name of the well known box- fighter who answers to the ring mon- aker of Charlie White. Even if White should make good his boast and annex the lightweight title—and his showing against Freddie Welsh in Milwaukee last month was not ex- actly promising—there would not be a iot of nutriment in it for Americans, as Charlie is a native of England. He was born in Liverpool, but when he was a youngster his paternal ancestor accumulated enough money to emi- grate to America with his family of seven, The Anchowitz clan is of Hebrew descent, and a scrappier family it would be hard to find. Four of the brothers have had experience in the ring game, and although Charlie is the king-pin of the bunch, his broth- ers William and John have made fair reputations for themselves. William scraps under the name of Billy Wag- ner, and John appears on the bills as Jack White. Charlie White has fought nearly a hundred battles since he made his Istart in 1906, but the hardest fight of his career was against the “white plague.” When he was in his early teens Charlie had to-get out and hustle a job to help support the Anchowitz family, which had settled in Chicago, and he landed in‘a print- | ing office at a salary of three bones | per. Having absorbed a lot of in- spirational literature written by inlutocrats who explained how they had won their millions by industry, honesty and frugality, the young Hebrew toiled like a galley slave. In his case it didn't work out according to Hoyle, however, for in a year or | two he found himself sick and threat- | ened with tuberculosis, with not ! enough money saved to buy one of those complete funerals for $64.98, ad- vertised by the bargain counter un- dertakers. Charlies ‘interviewed a “doc” and the M. D. told him he would have to quit work and go to the mountains for a few vyears, eat expensive food and avoid exertion. That was excel- lent advice, no doubt, but the family fortune of the Anchowitzes was not sufficient to stand that strain. Then the fighting spirit of the lttle Jew came to the top. He decided to give the Grim Reaper a run for his money, and entered a free ‘“Bym.” At first he had to take the lightest of exer- cises, but he gradually gained in strength, and after a few months the hectic flush of the ‘“lungere” gave way to the bloom of health in his cheeks. Then he began to put on the gloves with the other boys. At first he was just a chopping Block, and his orbs, were perpetually. discolored, but after a time he began to return the blows he had received with interest. He showed such gameness and natural ability that a boxer who frequented the “gym” gave him a few lessons, and when he was only fifteen Charlie was a full-fledged box-fighter. His enthusiasm for the game arounsed the interest of his brothers, and pretty soon the whole Anchowitz family were fight fans. 2 When White began boxing he weighed only ninety pounds, but he has since traveled through the ban- tam and featherweight divisions and become a full-fledged lightweight. | His first defeat was in 1909, when he lost to Abe Attell, and the next year ne was defeated by Danny Webster jat Vernon. TLater he lost to Joe Mandot and Jack Britton, but de- feated many other good men, and last May he got into the limelight outpointing Willie Ritchie, who was then champion, in a ten-round bout in Milwaukee. White claimed the lightweight title after that bout, although ne only received a news- paper decision. In his bout with Freddie Welsh in Milwaukee last month White was clearly outclassed, in the opinion of a majority of the critics. KLING TO STAY OUT. Would Not Accept Managership of Kansas City Feds. Kansas City, March 25.—John Kling, the baseball catcher, when shown a Chicago dispatch saying he might suc- ceed George Stovall as manager of the Kansas City Federal club, said he ,would not play baseball this year. | I remained out of the same last year,” said Kling, “and 1 intend to |da so again this season unless some- | thing greatly out of the ordinary turns lup. 1 do not expect to be connected { with the Federal league. T have had several offers from organized baseball, major league clubs, at big money, but have decided to remain in Kansas City and lock after my business interests.” 1 MAY QUIT LEAGUE. | New York, March 25.—Intimation [that Columbia is contemplating drop- | ping out of the Intercollegiate Basket- i ball league is found in a report which ! persists about the campus.

Albany, March 25.—An erfort to get out the Codes committee of the assembly the McElroy bill, providing for Sunday baseball, resulted in a tie vote of six to six. The vote of As- semblyman Brenan of New York against the bill blocked the right of the New York city delegation to car- ry the fight to the floor of the as- sembly. Assemblyman Flamman of Kings was absent and as he is under- stood to be for the measure, it will probably come out of the committee next week. FOSTER SCORES UMPIRES. John B. Foster, Secretary of the Giants, has directed a thrist of criti- cism at the National league umpires, in which he says the umpiring last season was the worst the organization has encountered in many years.

Mr. Foster is editor of the guide. PUMPELLY DISLOCATES KNEE., New Haven, Conn., March 25.— 1 Harold A. Pumpelly of Owego, N.
