Big League Stuff I

Claude Williams, the White Sox hurler, yesterday won his sixth straight game when he kept Cleveland's seven hits scattered. Home runs by Jacobson and Gerber with runners on the bags featured the Browns’ victory over Detroit.

The Reds made fifteen of twenty-six runs scored at St. Louis. 'Nuff sed. The Nationals batted Ernie Shore out of the box in the first inning and mauled Thormahlen for the runs necessary to win the pastime. Perkins’ timely hitting, which drove home three of Phlla’s rnns, gave the Maekmen the edge over the Red Sox. Though Alexander weakened in the last three innings, the Cubs had a lead long enough to give him victory over the Pirates.

Wilde Is Piling Up Fortune Taking on the Second Raters Flyweight Champ Continues to Draw Big Gates at Bouts. 0 When Jimmy Wilde, world's flyweight champion, got through with his eightrotmd bont with Battling Murray at Camden recently, the little Englishman had earned $39,300 since he arrived in this country a few months ago. That represents his share ot the,purses for seven bouts and is a record no other midget ever approached. A remarkable feature of Wilde’s sue. cess in gathering American dollars is that only one of his opponents was ruled among the topnotebors. He is Jack Sharkey, aud Sharkey beat him! What is more, the defeat came iu his first appearance In this country and naturally it cut down his drawing power considerably. If Wilde had managed to score a knockout over Sharkey he probably would be In Carpentler’s class as a drawing card by this time. T.lttle Wild* was greatly chagrined because of hi* defeat by Sharkey, and at first he decided to burry back to England. It was said .at the time that Wilde l ad contracted to write a series of stories for English papers about his visit to America -ind that he intended to roast everything and everybody con nected with boxing in this country. Despite hla defeat Wilde continued to draw well. ■ He soon got over Ids pique and denied that he intended tb roast anybody. Me also postponed Ids return to England because offers for his services, nil containing large guarantees, were rolling in. Wilde learned one lesson when he met Sharkey. ftp found out that he could not afford to concede weight to the best of our bantam*. Thereafter he barred all the topnotcli-i-rs, giving as an excuse the plea tha> he could obtain more niouey in England for matches with Sharkey, Pete Herman, Pal Moore and others of that typo than he can gel hi America. That, of course, is a ridiculous assertion. Boxing is not drawing any too well In England Just now, according to Americans who have been across recently. Purses are so small that nli have been glad to return despite the fact that the opposition Is ao soft that training is hardly necessary. America always could outbid England for any match that was wanted over here. Under present conditions English promotors can not begin to compete with those of America. If Wilde cures to fight Sharkey again he can get more for a short, no decision bout in New Jersey than anv English tlub could afford to* pay him for twenty rounds to a decision in England. Wilde does not deserve to be censured for refusing to meet our heavy bantams, but he should give his reai reasons for avoiding the issue.

Caddy School for Country Club Boys Boost for Service; Instructor Lawson Believes Plan Will Work an AllAround Benefit. Working on the theory that a caddy Is not a caddy v when he doesn't know the golf game. James Lawson, professional at the Indianapolis Country club, plana to establish a “school” for the youngstars. The boys will be sent through a course of training, in which they will play golf and learn all about what a golfer demands In the way of service from a caddy. Instructor Lawson plans to conduct one class a week for Ihe “kids,” and following the “school” hour the caddies will be taken for a few rounds on the links and absorb some real golf. Prizes will be offered for weekly low scores and other means will be adopted to keep the youngsters imbued with tha idea or learning. It is believed that after the boys play a few rounds they will learn to appreciate what good caddy service means, and therefore do everything In theit power to deliver the goods when they are working. If this plan Is a success at the Country club it will, no doubt, be carried every golf club In the city. This will not only improve the caddy service, but also make the future generation of golfers much stronger.
