10 BAR JACK JOHNSON

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.—Jack Johnson Is to be barred permanently from boxing In France, If the plans of the boxing promoters there go through. The full exposure of Johnson's frame-up with Moran, as published In L'Echo des Sports, has finished the black champion's career In Fraace, and as he's barred practically everywhere else In the world, he's through with the sport.

Russians May Seize Trotters

Scores of blue-blooded and speedy American bred race horses now in' St. Petersburg may be se'zed and used In the great European war.

Many of the horses were owned only recently by wealthy Americans and were sold to rich Russians to be raced In European race centers. Under the rules of war, horses are contraband of war, and can be seized by the government.

Among the better known fast horses now at St. Petersburg in dangsr of being drafted for the war, and tlie marks they made on tracks here areSoprano, 2:03% Baden, 2:05% Creseeus, 2:02% General H„ *2:04% Chacney, 2:04% Willy, 2:05 Jack McKerron, 2:07 Duchester, 2:07 Bob Douglas, 2:04%: Belle Bird, 2:09^ O'Ne'll, 2:07: Billy Burke and Mary McKerron, 2:13 to wagon.

Wheeler Hitting Like Mischief for Dubuque

Looking to be In great shape, George Wheeler dropped into Terre Haute yesterday afternoon on his way to rejoin the Dubusue club with which the former Terre-ir slugger is hitting well above the .350 mark. Wheeler was called to his home at Shelburn Thursday and stopped off in this city on his return trip.

The Dubuque club has a chanpe to cop the rag, according to George and every man on the club is determined to accomplish the result.

When Wheeler joined the Dubuque ag gregation it was well down in the race, but his tremendous hitting has brought the team up several notches and today it stands a chance to lead the field. When the last batch of Tnr?e-I batting averages were compiled Wheeler was clouting at a .372 clip. iSince then he has been mauling the agate and has bettered his mark, if anything.

Trotter Acts Like Athlete After Sale

It's customary for a minor league ball player who has been great guns to hit a slump as soon as his sale to a b'g league team is announced, and Thursday, at the Rockport race track, Tom I'atch, a trotter, showed thai star horses also can act the same Just before Tom started in the 2:14 event it was announced that W. H. Bovd had sold him to Tommy Murphy, agent for S. A. Pickering, for $7,50u. Tom finished second the first neat ami ihen dropped to sixth place the second and eighth the third.

Opportunity Is knocking at Joe Jaekson's door. It warlts to tell the Cleveland slurger that the American league and the ipaJor league, batting championships are within nis reach. His chance to beat out Ty Cobb Is at hand. Joe needs only confidence to slug his way Into the title.

Jackson is the undisputed batting leader cf the league. He has a lead of six percentage points over Eddie Col-

Nothing short of a serious accident to the Athletics' punch—that Is to say, Its ?100,000 Infield—can cause doubt aB to where the American league pennant will go. The Athletics have won 19 of their last 21 games on the western trip they have won 11 games and lost but two, one in Detroit, one in Chicago. They face the weak Cleveland club for a series next.

Owning over eight games lead, and the best team In the world today, anu with one-third of the season yet to go, it is impossible to consider any other club as having a legitimate chance to beat the Mackmen.

Misfortune can cut any team down, however, as Connie Mack can well remember. Several years ago about this time of the year Connie was leading the league with a percentage of .G89 and all looked rosy.

Suddenly the cracking of veteran timber began and the club went to pieces. It came west on its final trip of the race, with a club of youngsters, finishing around fourth place.

The Browns went through a a'mllar experience In 1908. But neither club was any such outfit as this owned by Mack today, from a run-getting standpoint.

If Mack had the pitching staff of the Boston Americans he would have a a stronger machine than that which made Frank Chance famous, earlier jn the century. 7

Una. his nearest rival. He leada Ty Cobb, title winner for several yearn, by 14 points. Tria Speaker, of the Boston Red Sox, who haa been punching the sphere unmercifully In the last two weeks, la seventh with .825.

Jackson Is swimming In a a«a of baae hits following a long period of drouth. Hla average is .353. Two weeks ago he was htttlng only .829.

A period of unusual base-hit prosperity has made it possible for Joe to clamber into the American league conning tower. In the last 14 games Joe has batted .500 per cent, making 28 hits in 68 times at tat. Jackson haa improved hia average 27 points, despite the fact that the Naps are In last place and the team was la Its worst Blump during those two weoka.

Ty Cobb will have to get busy In a hurry or run the chance of being able to figure as leader In name only If he happens to out-swat Slugger Joe. Cobb has played in only 46 games this eeaBon. If he gets back in the Tiger lineup at once he will not be able to play in 100 games as Detroit haa only. 52 more to play.

Eddie Collins, of the Athletics, la making a great bid for the league leadership. Colllna has been keeping: pace with Jackson of late and la only aix polnta behind him.

STOP HACKS, WHO CAN? NO CREDIT 10 MORAN

Recent developments abroad ndlcate that Frank Moran was mixed up *in a plan to "lay down" to Jack Johnson In the eighth round at Paris, but doubled-crossed the negro and tried to win. He made a "joke" effort.

All the opprobrium of the "fake" seems to have descended on Jonnson but as a matter of fact he ia less guilty than Moran.

If Johnson is "barred** for faking, Moran should be likewise treatad. For all the color of his skin, the white hope is Just as black, In this matter, as the gentleman of color.

In Our Set

Touch Luck.

The Magnate told the Manager Were walking arm In arm The Magnate told the Manager He thought he'd by a farm. "Go to It!" said the Manager, "It won't do any harm." The Magnate bought a franchise In' A league of minor class, Where he could send his young recruit-3 And put them out on grass, And call them in as soon as they Began to show some class. In course of time the young recruits Were playing major ball. But when the Magnate called 'em in, None answered to the call And this was scarcely odd because— The Feds had grabbed them all.

Answers to Correspondents. Is it a felony to steal a baseball knocked into the stands?—J. Gott.lt.

No, just plain petty larceny.

Does a free pass to the ball game entitle the holder to a seat in a oox? —C. Heep.

Sure, and a good cigar.

The Bostons recenty demonstrated that one hit and two erros beat seven hits and four errors.

Although outhit, the Pirates took advantage of the wildness of the Boston pitchers and won, 5 to 1. Previous to the upset, the Braves had captured nine straight games.

A bunch of walks, an error and one hit gave the Giants five runs in the fifth inning of yesterday's game with tho Cubs and, incidently, paved the way to victory, 8 to 4.

Not content with blanking the Reds, Alexander started a batting rally which gave the Phillies their two runs in yesterday's battle.

Lambasting Griner for 12 hits, tho Dodgers handed the Cards a 3 to 0 defeat yesterday. Hagan was the white wash expert, holding the losers to live blows.

That 3 to 1 reverse handed the Wanes by the Reapers yesterday was a big heir to the thii'd place Terre-irs.

TERRE HAUTE TRIBUNE

RITCHIE HAKES MONEY FASTER THAN WILSON

Willie's Five-Month Ring Income Near President's for Year— Only Four Bouts.

WilUe Ritchie, ex-lightweibht champion of the world who lost his title to Freddie Welsh, has made nearly as much money in the past five months as Woodrow Wilson will get for ue-ng president of the United States for a whole year.

To make this amount he has traveled 20,000 miles and taken part in four ring battles. Two of these bouts were 20round affairs and the other two were ten-round events In which his title was not at stake.

In the whole 60 rounds that Ritchie boxed he was not off h's feet once and in only one battle—that with Charley White— was he punished an extent that he couldn't attend a tea party directly after.

For his ten-round battle with Ad Wolgaat at Milwaukee, March 10 laBt, WUlTe received $15,708.

One month later, April 17, Ritchie boxed Tommy Murphy 20 rounda at San Franoiaco and his share waa $15,02. Jumping to Milwaukee on May 26, le met Charley White In a no-decialon 10-round battle and got $lO,O0O for his work.

Hla moat recent battle waa with Freddy Welsh, for wnich he waa ren $16,000 win, lose or draw, $10,000 for his right In the moving pictures taken of the bout and $1,000 expenses.

Ritchie, who isn't quite twenty-four years of age, has been boxing about three and one-half years. In that short time he has accumulated a fortune estimated to be $100,000 to $150,000. There Isn't a mark or disfigurement on his face of any kind and in appearance he would be -'taken tor a young fellow with a clerical position.

Speaking of the contest with Welsh Ritchie said: "I may never again be the lightweight champion of the world, but there Isn't any on who can convince me that I lost the honors In my oout with Welah."

TERRE-IRS KIT TRAD.

The Terre-Irs hit the trail for Dayton early thla morning where they were scheduled to oppose the Central league leadera In the flrat of three games this afternoon. Every member of the pack la flt for the last month'a play and confident of retaining their present position.

Art Nshf waa the probable Are line choice of the third placers, although Matteson was under consideration.

Feds Pass UP Nap Lajole

Even with the enticing Federals balt-castlng with golden lures, there is one contract that will not be broken, by the player. That is the document held by the fading great man, Na poleon Lajole. Larry has an agreement that has two years to go, at a salary of $9,000 per annum

Certain Federal league clubs might like to land Larry, but In his present state of decadence none would care to stand a tap of $9,000.

Larry's fate will be watched with interest. Hia salary Is prohibitive and will prevent his being traded to any other olub. If he ceases to be of value to the Cleveland "club commensurate with his salary It Is not impossible that Larry will be released outright. Queer angles develop In baseball.

Casual Comment

With the Terre-irs Idle, the Rapids had a chance to gain on the pack, but a 12-inning tie was the best the Black yox could get at Evansville. Both clubs used a brac-j of twirlers.

The Browns outhit the Yanks, 12 to P, yesterday, but errors defeated the heavy hitters, 4 to 3.

Benx bested Bentley in a flinger's duel yesterday and the White Sox shut out Walter Johnson's aggregation, 2 to 0.

Mitchell held the Athletics to six hits yesterday, but he was wild, the Athletics downing the Naps, 4 to 0. Bender was right.

Gregg again failed to show the Red Sox he is valuable cargo, losing to the Tigers, 3 to 1. Ooveleskie was the big "noise, although Ty Cobb, who returned to the game, made a triple, a sacrifice und was given two walks in four trips to the pan.

COKE MACK THINKS WELL OF HIS HURLER8

Deliberately Passed Tip Shore, Now With Boston, Because of Faith in Youngsters.

It's about all over now except the picking of the pitchers for the opening game of the world's series, and Connie Mack has not fully decided whether it will be Bender or Plank.

Of course, the silent manager of the Athletics says that the race Is far from being run and that his team has not begun to count their post-season chickens, alleging that Boston and Washington looks dangerous, but in the same breath he ventures this statement: "Yes, I know that we have a nice lead now, a lead that we may be able to hold if we are going good, and, say, we are going line Just now. Of course, I don't know how long we can maintain the present gait, but I have not a cripple in the squad and I am not looking for any immediate alump. Our pitching »lng staff looks pretty good to me, for, of oourso, I ap no pltchera.

oourso, I appreciate the oharge we have no pltchera. At least that la what they tell me and I have auon a confiding na-

ten me ana have such a confiding naturo that I always believe everything I hear. Do you know, I can scaroely understand It—how my team can gain such a lead without any pitchers."

That Connie thinks he has one of the best pitching outfits In the country is demonstrated by the fact that he let Boston have Bernie Shore at a time when-he had first call on the Baltimore team. "I could have had Shore," admitted Connie yesterday. "I know he was going to make a -great pitcher but that it would cost a lot of money to get him from Baltimore and I felt we could not afford to pay tho price for him when we already had a pretty good bunch of young pitchers. You tee, 1 have Bush, Snawkey, Wycoff, Pennock and Bressler. Each one is a young man and going pretty good. too. So I could not see that I absolutely had to have Shore. Some persons seem to think I can grab

§omers

layers from Baltimore Just as Charley can take them from his A. A. team. It is not so at all. With the exception of Lefty Russell, who never was of much good to me. I have not ttken a player from Baltimore that I did not send to that olub."
