This battle for the championship was the feature event of the great pugilistic tournament which attracted to Shepperton tens of thousands of sports from all over England and Ireland.

The pretense | of love for farm work no longer is kept up. Semi-professional baseball managers have been given to under- stand that they can get his services for any game for $100, paid in ad- | vance. He has been made offers to play with semi-professional teams in New York, and is reported to have quoted the terms named. With the Athletics drawing the smallest crowds In the history of the club, the Shibes may see to it soon that Mack gets rid of Baker for the 25,000 offered by New York. Ban Johnson may also take a hand in the controversy, although he assert- ed that Mack took the proper stand and that Baker's contract called for a just salary and he ought to be kept to it.

MACK CLEARS PATH | . FOR BAKER T0 JuMP \Violates Contract With Piayer by Talking Too Much. | Philadelphia, April 27.—Connie Mack has opened the way for Frank Baker to jump to the Federal league, 1 if the independents will have the star third sacker of the Athletics. Mack asserted that under no consideration would he take Baker back, and that he wbuld keep him from playing with | any club until his contract, which has two more years to go, runs out. In making a statement of refusal to give Baker employment should Frank apply for it, Mack violated the con- tract. The player has been upheld by the courts in several similar cases, nctably that of Armando Marsans, the outfielder of the Cincinnati club of the National league. It has been held | by the courts that the contract is no longer binding if the club refuses to take the player back or a blacklist understanding becomes operative against him. Mack’s resolution not to take Baker back was in line with his threat sev- eral days ago. He stated that if Baker after his announcement that he had retired because he wanted to attend to his farm played with the Upland team of the Delaware County league he would be blacklisted. dare and played with the Uplands against the Rockdale club last Satur- day. In that game, by the way, Baker had three chances and made two er- rors, but he got three hits, one of them a triple, and scored three runs. His team won by 13 to 2 Wouldn't Sell Him for a Million, “I would not sell Baker for $1,000,- 000,” said, Mack, “and under no con- sideration will I allow him to play Wwith any other team. 1 will not take him back.

Now that the pugilistic heavyweight championship his been and the notorious Caucasian again Loasts of having the world’s premier glove artist, the wrestling clamoring for a recognized leader in their ancient sport. Frank Gotch, ! who has so long held the mat hono has retired undefeated to his Iowa farm, with somethting like a quarter ot a milllon dollars salted away, and has shown no inclination to return to the game in which he won fame and fortune. The husky Hawkeye state mat warrior will celebrate his thirty- seventh birthday today, having been Lorn in Humboldt, la., April 27, 1878, and he shows wisdom and sound sense in quitting while the quitting is good. He is a clean living chap who | doesn’'t know the taste of booze, and for whom the white lights have never | had any attraction. Such being the case, he might ‘“come bpack” and escape, Johnson's fate, but even the cleanest living man can’t escape the law of nature which insists that youth has simply got to be served and that veterans must take a back seat when athletic championships are being passed around. There are fall will entirely start the decided, . pece wit matter of fact, Frank Gotch | was never clearly entitled to call him- | celf the wrestling champion of the vorld. He was the champion of j America and Europe, right enough, and he met all challengers, but it is a raatter for grave doubt whether he could have defended his honors against the greatest grapplers of India and Japan. What baseball is to America and soccer footbail to Great Britain, wrestling is to India and Japan. Men who have seen the giant grapplers of the mountainous interior ot India have asserted that it would be easy to discover a score of wrest- lers any one of whom could down the best man the western world has ever produced. There is room for argu- inent in such an assertion, of course, but as a matter of fact the wrestling game is almost a religion in India, and the stars are trained from their earli- est infaney. The Indian champions are usually over six feet in height and some weigh as much as 300 pounds. ‘The attendance at the wrestling tour- naments held by native princes is often as high as 100,000, fans fire | Football epring much so as the It decided of hard fall practice this fully a thus far has been strenuous, regular fall practice. that Cc Hinkey to the old the men Talbott, the plan daily practices is said ach has to return work for under Captain was to make the much like a real game as possible, with the idea that the more fun the men got out of the game the better they would be able to play it.
