STE.O, HAJCCLTOIT.

(TJrited Pre i Staff Correspondent.) MEW TORK. Sept. 12. A new crop of managers Is striking hard at the rec orda of the old school la baseball. Toungsters in experience, they are wrecking the order of things by grasp lng the rami la their hands and threat enirvr to run it right into a personally conducted world's series before many more moons. Lee Fohl and Jack Barry, two Amerl can leaguers, are babies as leaders of baseball clubs, yet this year they slammed things around In such an ex citing fashion that it has taken an awful lot of eSort to convince them that they haven't the right to run away with pennant. In fact. Barry has prcren so obstinate along these lines that he hasn't yet been convinced and has chance to win his argument. Barry's case is hardly as remarkable as Fohl'B, for Barry has always been considered one of the game's smartest players, and has had experience under the game's most astute and studious managers. Fohl Mas Just a sort of helpr for Joe Birmingham while Joe was having his ups and downs in Cleve land. When he took hold of the Ind lana, It was generally believed his po. sition was only temporary and that sooner or later he would surrender his place to some one better known as an exponent of winning baseball. But Lee fooled the gang. He trotted right Into ths race his first year out. made his team play baseball, and was considered terrible obstacle last summer. This year Lee again started It, and. while few critics gave him a chance for the pennant. Lee himself believed he would have something to say about the dis position of the annual flag, and he cams mighty near getting his wish. Fohl won't be ready to win a pennant next year with his present array of stars, but there's no telling what he will do to improve his team. He's a builder and is likely to win any time he gets the right start. Hugo Bezdek. in the National league. Is getting a lot of attention right now, following his great success in building a pitching staff for Pittsburgh. KOWALSK! HIT no Br sox FORT WAYNE, IND., Sept. 12. The Chicago White Sox defeated a team composed of players from several minor leagues in a good game here yesterday by the score of 7 to 2.

WASHINGTON". Sept. 12. World sports records may be broken by drafted soldiers of the new National Army In cantonment camps throughout the country this fall. Chairman Raymond D. Fosdick of "the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities hopes to bring out sport phenoms of many kinds whose lights might have been hidden by the bushel of private life as long as they lived if it hadn't been for the war. "The great trouble with college athletics," said Fosdick today, "is that they develop a few men intensively and the many not at all. "The draft men's training is of course, compulsory. The best in every man will be brought out. And when you consider that none of the 687.000 U acenpted unless he is physically perict. which is not true of the raw material college athletics has to choose from. It is not unreasonable to expect great things of them on track and field." One of the greatest programs of sports and athletics that America has ever seen is expected to develop between cantonment camp teams, particularly those close together in the south, this fall and winter. "No set program of inter-camp contests has been arranged," said Fosdick, "but the boys will be allowed to develop their own football, baseball, track nd field teams for inter-camp and in-tra-camp meets."

TAKEN AWAY' FROM WARD

Unless Heavyweight Champion Quits Circusing and

Does Some Fighting Enthusiast Would Strip Him of His Crown But Who Is Going to Do It?

Fight or forfeit the title! This Is the ultimatum "An Angry Fight Fan" would "issue to Jess Willard. Mr. Fan has expressed the sentiments of many thousands of boxing enthusiasts in this country. Willard has come to be regarded as champion in name only. But who is there with the authority to strip Jess of his crown and award it to an other heavyweight? Jess doesn't want to fight. Every one knows that. He would like to retire, but doesn't dare because his circus depends upon his championship. But It is apparent the fans are getting tirejd of his inactivity. Once since winning the title from Jack Johnson, more than two years ago, has Jess condescended (for a paltry t7.500) to re-enter the ring. That once was a year ago last March. It's a long time between bouts. That a champion is able to remain idle so long without defending his title proves that a governing body such as the National Sporting Club, of London, is needed in this country. There is an organization which was founded on the prospect of controlling boxing in the United States, or rather not controlling the sport, but governing it so far as uniformity of rules and weights is concerned, with a view also to make champions In all division defend their titles within stated intervals. It is known as the American Boxing Association. Matt Hinkle, the Cleveland promoter. Is president. THE STANDING AMERICAN XEAOT7E. W. L.

Ty Cobb will soon be pulling down $50,000 a year, but not from baseball. With the Detroit team's departure for the east Monday it was announced Cobb had accepted a contract from a St. Louis brewing company to act as salesman in Georgia at a salary of $1,300 a month.

4? TITLE BE In Name Only. For all this association has ever ae complished it exists in name only. Its membership comprises some of the pro moters of this country. It aspired to have ALL the leading promoters be come affiliated with it. Had it succeed' ed in this purpose It might have been able to accomplish something. But ap parently It has failed in its objective. Were there a national body con trolling the sport, not only would the sport benefit and flourish to a greater degree, but it would be possible to de mand that Willard fight within a stated time or suffer the loss of his title. A new champion could then be crowned by holding an elimination tournament. "An Angry Fan" in his letter declares that the public should have Something to say in Willard's case because it was the public that has made him wealthy; that this same public is tired of his stalling. Quite right But the remedy at this time seems to be burled beneath the Inability to forcibly retire Willard and crown another as champion without holding a tournament that will be recognized as a championship affair. However, it is high time Willard real lzed how public sentiment is turning against him. No doubt he feels Us ef feet in the box office of his circus. Per haps the glare of glittering gold la mak ing him so blind that he cannot see the handwriting on the wall. six months, $12,500, his income would be $27,500. He has an automobile bust' ness in Royston. Ga., his home. This, added to royalties on moving pictures in which he has appeared, will soon make his yearly income $50,000.
