IS GIVEN TOUGHEST JOB IN BASEBALL

By JACK VEIOCJC JSTFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE NEW YORK, July 16. The "Miracle i!n" rtf 1315 has come back. Pat Moran. the silnt manager, is making another strong bid for fame. Only a few short months ago Moran w as out of a Job. The Thillies released h.m unconditionally after he had won a IKTnant and made two second rlace finishes for them. Today he Is the most talked of manager tn the major leagues. Taki? the reins at Cincinnati just before the traininj? season opened, the man who has a reputation for moulding winning ball clubs out of misfit material, has come into his own again. The Rods looked rather hopeless as pennant contenders when Moran took hold of them. Today they are furnishing the zip and ginger and the element of opposition to the Giants that is making the National League race worth while. Moran has done what ten former managers of the Reds failed to do give Cincinnati a winner. Bob Allen. Bid McPhee, Joe Kelly. N'el Hanlon, John Ganzei, Clark Griffith, Hank O'Day. Joe Tinker, Buck Herzog and Christie Mathewson. all tried it and failed. How does Moran do it? In the words of the bard, "it's a gift." When Moran took charge of the Reds

he needed a shortstop, a second baseman, an outfielder and some pitchers. He managed to swing Jake Daubert into line to fill Hal Chase's shoes, but he had to let Tommy Griffith get away to do it. He finally got Larry Kopf back into harness and then picked up Morris Rath, who was cast off by the White Sox some seasons ago and stationed him at second base, completing an infield that looked uncertain.

EASTERNERS URGE AN AGE LIMIT IN PUGILISTIC RANKS NEW YORK. July 16. There is a growing sentiment among those who have the best interests of the boxing game at heart that an age limit should be placed on boxers. The outcome of the Willard-Dempsey, and the JeffriesJohnson affairs has shown the futility of men trying to fight for championships

when they are unfitted by prolonged

ring inactivity and by age. This is a

question which will sooner or later come before the. army, navy and civilian board of boxing control, which aims to readJust conditions governing the sport In this country. It is advocated that the boxing commissions of the different states where th sport is permitted should make a rule barring boxers who reach the age of 35 years. In many cases, it would be advisable to make the age limit even lower.

CATCHER IS .BADLY HURT IN BALL GAME

Higgins. well known catcher o the East Chicago PeerUss A. C. and considered by many as an exceptional backstop, was the object of fate's cruel hand last Sunday at Douglas park in a hotly contested ball game with the St. Casmir of Hammond. In the sixth inninsr he attempted to steal home from third on an infield hit when the St. Casmir's catcher stepped in front of the home station and blocked the base. As Higgins thought he could reach the bag without sliding he rams in on his feet.

A temporary splint was &et in and he was then placed in a bed. An X-ray picture will be taken ,this week of the bones and if his condition permits a silver plate will be set in next week. The Peerless A. C. are doing everything in their power to help him along. They hope to foot the entire bill as Higgins Is well liked by every one.

The job of handling the Cir.ei club is pie compared to this. Baker's petty interference and his habit of firing his managers without provocation cr notice is well known.

Peerless have stacked up so far. The game was completed, the Teerless defeating the Hammond crew. 10 to 7. R. George and F. Keller were the attractions of the day. Both clouted the leather apple for 4 bingies in 5 trips to the plate, five of them going for doubles. R. George getting three and F. Keller two. This is the eleventh victory in thirteen games for the Peerless.

NEW YORK. July IS. Jimmie De Forest, who trained Jack Dempsey for -.he WillRrd fight, has come out In defense, of the ex-champion. "I would like to say a few words for Willard." said De Forest. "It is really distasteful to me to hear anybody say hat Jess quit. The remarkable part of the whole affair was that Willard lasted three rounds. He took a frightful beating, having many of his teeth removed at different times. In addition to being floored often. Jess is as game a man as ever entered the ring, and I bar nobody when I make that statement."
