A blgr grappling: match has teen arranged through The Times. In a letter from Larney Lichtenstein today he says : Chicago. 111.. July 17, 1917. Sporting Editor Times: Dear Sir: Kindly wish to let you know that I matched my mysterious middleweight against Curley Davis here today. Curley's manager, James R. "Walsh, insisted upon me divulging by middleweight's name, stating that If I didn't comply with his demand he would refuse to sign articles. After much persuasion I informed him my man was none other thn Young Jordan of Chicago, known as the "Greek Demon." "We then signed articles for the contest to take place in "West Hammond, 111.. July 26th. I'm under the impression that young Mr. "Curley" is biting off more than he can chew in meeting .80 experienced a mat master as Young Jordan. However I'm not giving this adivce to frighten the Hammond wrestler. for Youns Jordan will attend to that matter on the night of July 26th" in proper form. Thanking you for rast favors. I remain. Yours truly. LARNEY LICHTEXSTEIX. lCnager Young Jordan, a real wrestler.

(Ey A PAN.) Having- Witnessed the baseball game between St. tanislau of Indiana Harbor and the Triangle A. C. and belns a member of the former I have an apology to make. I am doing this, because I care more for the church than I do for the baseball team. One reason Is the way the St's. scored their winning run in the twelfth. There were two dead and a man on third, the batter had two strikes, the pitcher threw to the batter and the umpire, who Is also a member of our church, called it a strike. The Triangle catcher seeing it was three outs threw to third as a joke. The third baseman missed it as he made no strenuous effort in fielding tho ball as it was three outs. The man on third base dashed for home thinking it was only two out. The catcher was off the field and ready to bat as he was first up. Our umpire seeing it was the winning ruri and hJS desire to win the game changed his decision and called the strike a ball. I have played baseball and know what it Is to lose a tight game through an umpire. It was a hard game to lose for Cohen, the Triangle pitcher, who gave 3 hits and struck out 20. Having complained about it to the minister he said this game should be played over. The average age of the St.'s was 19 and the pitcher was 22. The reason for making this apology is, on going up town that evening I heard some people make remarks about the game which disgraced the church and force me to make an apology. And I hope that the Triangles wil forget about this game and give us another one with a neutral umpire and we will prove we

have sportsmanship blood in us thani

Here's a little story of the oldest active boxer in the business, who is about to quit. His name is Jim Flynn and he is known as the Pueblo fireman. He is proud still of his card in the union. "Got a chance now to box Jack Dillon down in Ohio," said the veteran. "Date is the big holiday, and I hope it goes through. Glad to get one more whack at the Indiana wonder. I'll be over this attack by that time, and can give him the merriest afternoon he ever put in. Dillon is a fighter after my own heart. He has bottom and gameness. and likes to mix it. That's me." ""Why don't you quit, Jim? Surely you're well fixed?" some one asked. "I'm through after this year to a certainty," he said. "I've got a little investment put over for the wife and the kid and it is in Liberty bonds. Great stuff. I'm going to Excelsior Springs just now to get this shoulder rubbed down. . "I believe I'm the oldest boxer in actual service at the present time seventeen years at it. hammer and tongs, fighting big and little, tough and easy, and never getting many of the soft ones. Thirty-eight years old and still

going. Born in 73 and started in 1300."

' WASHINGTON. D. C. July 18. American soldiers who are in France preparing to go into the trenches have a new grievance against the Germans. The IT-boat which sunk the American

steamship Kansan on July 9 sent to the bottom a consignment of baseball paraphernalia intended for the Yankee Sammies over-seas. The shipment was valued at $8,000, and included equipment for 150 baseball teams. It was secured by a chain letter contribution schema originated by Manager Clark Griffith of the Washington club. Each contribution was limited to 25 cents. President Wilson was a subscriber, as were many other high officials of the national government. The fund was almost exhausted to purchase the goods shipped on the, Kansan.
