PUG'S STRONG NERVES ADMIRED BY THE KING

LONDON" (by mail). Athletes of all ranks and types are demonstrating to the world at large that their training for amateur or professional competition in the past is an asset which counts for much when tasks of unusual magnitude must be accomplished. In this respect Kngland's nthlt-tic fraternity ha been piving a good account of Itself, at the front and also in positions rarely touched by the spotlight of publicity. The other diy King George, on a visit to a munitions works, encountered a man controlling a machine which made a deafening noise. It was explained to the royal visitor that It could be worked only by a man of the strongest nerves. After the machine had been stopped for a moment, the king praised the operator and asked his name. He was Pedlar Palmer, the prize tighter.

By H. C. HAMILTON (I'nited Prcs Staff t'orrespondent ) Xi;V YORK. June 14. Two bush leaguers have made good as managers of big league baseball clubs within the Inst fw years, and another is qiite likely to win his spurs before the present season has become history. Clarence Rowland was accepted a long time ago as a man of consi.Urab'.e baseball brains, and proved it to everybody's satisfaction when he met and defeated John McGraw in the last world's series. And now we come down to Hugo Hezdck. and not so very far down at that, for Ilezd'k, the Joke of Pittsburgh's fans a year ago. has placed in the National league rare a baseball team that has caused no epd of trouble for the lenders, and has had aspirations

to become the league's leader. When it was announced by Rarney Dreyfuss that Hugo Lezdek had been sik-ned to succeed Jimmy Callahan as manager of he Pirates, tl.o baseball world pinched itself a couple of times and tried to turn over. Bezdrk'j, appointment was ven more astonishing than was the announcement by Charles A. ("omisker that ho had signed Clarence Rowland, for liezdek never had been a professional baseball lender, nor had he ever played professional baseball. He was simply a handler of athletes, with more than ordinary knowledge of conditioning his men. Jack Hendricks is sitting tight and working hard. He knows he has a better tein than th averages indicate, and that, with fair luck he will have his men in the race before very long.

WILLARD MAY

REFEREE FULTONDEMPSEY GO NEW YORK. June 14. There was a rumor circulated in boxing circles here yesterday to th effect that JesS willard. the retired world's heavyweight champion, will be appointed referee for the Fultcn-Pempsey fight July 4 at Danbury, Conn.

It's the circu" that i tv, question of the hour, at least for the kiddies and who 1s not young again on circus Aivy"! The broadspread and flaming announcements have, no floubt. prepared you for th advent of the big Kagen-beck-Waliace Circus, with its many spectacular allurements, not the least of which is to be its "gorgeous" street paeeant the opening day of the show. The numerous and stretching white tops, a veritabla city of canvas, as one is assured, will appear in Hammond on Saturday, June 22. Your circus man is always plentifully supr'.!"'! with promises, as well as adjectives, and what he. the HagenbeckWailace man, does not put forward as a fascinating preface to this first-of-the-season "carnival" is not to tie found in the literature of clrrusdom. It ts to be bigger, better and more stupendous than ever, of course, and with an equipment new in everything but the timetried and time-honored title. Am?nz the fin riders is to be Miss

Rosa Rosalind, a young woman c: real renown as a horse rider, her rcua forebears dating back as far. airr.oa. as our old friend Sleary of Dickens fjne. There are to be scores of other daing equestrians, with still others who re to show the mazed onlookers ev-y feat ever presented within an areis. and some that have but recently be, accomplished under canvas. The Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus repre sents an expenditure of $3.onn.ooo. Th. employees with the show number about l.ooo. ln addition to 103 advance men. The big show travels aboard three of the longest trains ever used by a circus organisation. In the daytime twentytwo tents, which cover twelve acres of ground, are used to house the tented city. A gala, golden, three-mll-lon? street parade will be seen on the downtown streets at 10 a. m. ,the morning preceding the first exhibition. Doors to the big show wi'l be opened at 1 and 7 p. m. The performances begin an hour later.

MILWAUKEE. WIS, June 14 Jack Dempsey, who is matched to box Kred Fulton at Danbury. Conn., July 4. must

appear in Milwaukee June 22 for an 1

examination by an attorney on behalf of John Reisler of New York. Reisler claims that Pempsey is under contract to him. but at present Dempsey has In effect en injunction. Fecured in Wisconsin, which prevents Reisler or his attorneys from interfering with his actions in any paut of the country. Developments growing out of the hearing may affect the proposed contest. Mike follins. manacer of Fred Fulton, who scraps .Tack Dempsey at Panbury, Conn., on July 4, if John the Barber, who insists he is pilot of Dempsey. doesn't throw the harpoon Into the match, left for the east last night. Hearing Collins gas would lead one to believe this bout Is just a workout for Ferocious Fred of Rochester. Now we await what Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager, has to say about it.
