Frank Duning FAKE 00 NO FAKE? ASKBOXING FANS Followers of Game Dispute Over Reality of JohnsonMoran Battle. BY FRANK G. MENKE. NEW YORK, June 19. Here are a few views that have trickled in Eu rope concerning the Jack Johnson- j Frank Moran "championship tight" that is scheduled to be staged in Paris on June 27. They are printed for the guidance of those who have been Uiinking of wagering a litle lucre on the outcome of the "battle." The fight will be a lake. The tight will be on the level, and promises to be the greatest heavyweight fight in history. The fight is a frame-up. It has been trained so that Johnson will win. I it has been framed so that Moran j will win. j Johnson is in fine condition, has trained faithfully, and is now down to i weight, and able to put up the great- i est battle of his life. j Johnson hasn't trained more than j three or four hours a week in the last i six weeks, and before then he didn't j do any training at all. He is lii'ty pounds over weight, his wind is bad, j and he is so flabby and out of condi- J tion that he will collopse after six rounds. Has or Has Not? Moran has not been training, but has been spending most of his time day and night in or around the gilded Paris eat'es. In the last few weeks he has become a familiar figure in the Paris night life. Moran has trained earnestly at his (juarters in the little village just outside of Paris, and is in wonderful condition. Seemingly without effort, he has been giving some terrible beatings to his sparring partners, and they are predicting a speedy knock-out victory tor him. The moving picture people are the ones who are to decide just how long the fight is to last. It is reported that they have cautioned Johnson that he must not knock out the white man before the tenth round, at least, as a film showing a shorter fight would not make money. Fighters Very Friendly. Johnson feels very bitter toward Moran because of his slighting remarks, while in New York about six weeks ago, relative to Johnson's condition, and threatens to smash him to a pulp the flrst time they meet. Johnson and Moran often meet in the office that serves as headquarters for the managers of both fighters, and arc on the very best of terms. A check for $:;o.00) as Johnson's share of the fight has been placed iu a safety deposit vault. The check for $30,noo that has been placed in the bank to Johnson's credit isn't worth the paper it is written on. Johnson is willing to bet $10,000 at big odds that he will defeat Moran in ten rounds or less. Moran is willing to wager a huge amount that he will knock out the nerro in twelve rounds. Those who are in on the alleged frame-up, it is said, have pooled a big bunch of money and are just waiting for suckers so that they can bet it, at big odds, and make a killing. Outside of these few conflicting details, we have, up to the present writting, heard nothing that would cast een a shadow of suspicion on this t-cheduled "fight." SIGN INDIAN TEAM FOR JIM FOURTH Baseball Promoters to Bring Arntz's Chippewa Tribe for Double Go. Fourth of July will be celebrated here in real stayle this year that is at the hall park. On that and the following day Glen Arntz, of Detroit, is scheduled to brinu his tribe of Chippewa Indians here for a double go. Among other things that (lien says wiil be but side attractions to his show, will be a brass hand and things. Just what "things"' means in this case Richmond club owners do not know, but they believe Glen, nevertheless. The Indians will replace the Dayton Lily Brews, who were scheduled to show here that day. The Dayton Brewers are a good attraction here, having offered some very good contests for local bugs in years past, but the chance to bring the Chippewas that day "was not to be sneezed at," according to a member of the Richmond club. The Indians present a line-up that, according to Arntz, is not to be equaled by any pale-face outfit in the land. Of course, Glen has a right to make this assertion, for "that's what they all say," but then, the team has the goods, as is attested by its record. Among the Chippewa line-up are several men who have worked on teams of H;iskell and Carlisle Indian schools, (James Thorpe hails from Carlisle, you know) and have been making the game of baseball their every-day business for years. FAMILY TO BUILD ATHLETIC FIELD ITHACA, X. Y., June 19. It is reported here that the Schoellkopf family, of Milwaukee, has given $75,000 to a fund being raised to erect a new athletic field. The report lacks official confirmation but formal announcement may be made later. Henry Schoellkopf, of Milwaukee, was at one time a star ou the Cornell eleven and In recent years has devoted some of his time to coaching gridiron candidates.

Mel Penny of the Hoover-Bond has announced that his team will attempt to take the number of the Shoe String Bunch next Monday night. Mell is not in the least disconcerted over the failure of his team to take the Bartels the other night and plans to get vengeance on the shoe clerks. GEORGE IS DISCOURAGED. George Hodge is discouraged. After leading his team to victory after victory over the best teams that could be scraped up in town he now finds I himself "with no more worlds to conj ciuer." Statistics compiled by George ! snow that his team has scored 111 J runs to something like seventeen of I opponents. Hodge is thinking seriousj ly of challenging Kenny's Quakers for the city rag. FEDS SUFFER RELAPSE. The I'ostoffice team has suffered a relapse of interest in the national game. The team has played two games this season and has lost two games by margins of twenty-six and fifteen runs, respectively which would seem to make one believe that the ! team had not experienced an overly successful season. Lawrence Handley, i.ie John McGraw of the team, is at loss to know what has caused the showing of his men as he has had them working out on the grass plot back of the postoffice ever since the sno.v cleared away. NON-PROF LEAGUE? There is some talk of organizing a Non professional league in the city. Said league would be composed of such teams that are not classed with the "professionals" of the S. A. L. There are about six teams in the city that play the game for sport alone and a circuit, of these teams could be ar- ! ranged. Prospective members of the I league would be the A. S. M. office team, Hoover-Bond, Bartels, Shoe Strings, Knollenbergs and the Playground team. These teams have been playing among themselves for some time and several members of the different teams have been trying to start something along this line. A meeting will probably be held in the near future to determine some action in the matter.

COLLINS MAY SIGN WITH FEO LEAGUE PHILADELPHIA, June 19 Neither Eddie Collins nor any other member of Connie Mack's Athletics has signed. with the Federal league. This was established today. However, there was little new assurance given that they would not cast their fortunes with the so-called" "outlaw" organization at some future date. Those said to be concerned in jumping to the Fed ranks are: Eddie Collins, second baseman; "Home Run" Baker, thud baseman, and John (Stuffy) Mclnnis, first sacker, and a veteran pitcher, whose name has not been mentioned. In a telegram received here today from Chicago, Eddie Collins admitted that Federal league agents have approached and asked him for his terms. Collins, however, brands any rumors to the effect that he has signed a contract as being false. As he expresed it: "I merely had a talk with Mr. Ward of the Brooklyn Federal league club, but nothing definite was said or done." This is the second time Collins has been approached by Federal league agents. Last winter he turned down an offer of $50,000 for three years to jump to the Federals. WITH THE MAJORS BENTON EFFECTIVE.

PROPOSE BALL PARK NEAR MORTON LAKE Commercial Club and Athletic Association Negotiate for Ground Lease.

Plans for locating a big ball park with league baseball for next year have been launched by members of the Richmond baseball club and the Commercial club. The proposed location of the grounds is between Sixteenth and Eighteenth streets on the vacant ground south of North J street, and opposite the lower part of Morton park. It is possible that Athletic park, for years popular as baseball, football and shooting grounds, may be deserted as far as semi-pro baseball is concerned. The lease of the ball club expires at the close of this year. It is believed the location near Morton park will be favorable not only to the park, but to the ball club.The members of the Commercial club have secured names of lot owners on the grouids, and will endeavor to lease the property for a number of years. The grounds are level and vould make a most suitable location for a ball park. One advantage pointed out is that men could leave their families in Morton park while they are attending the ball game, while Athletic park is located far away from everything else. The grounds will not be taken, however, unless a lease can be signed with every lot owner at a reasonable figure. There is a public ball ground there now for which no rent is paid. In case the club fails to secure the level ground starting a half square east of Sixteenth street, there is another location still further cast which is being considered. League baseball will be played next years should the plans for the new grounds materialize, it is believed it would be a money-making venture in additional gate receipts as there will be a street car line within less than a square of the proposed location of the ball park entrance. SET 200 SEATS FOR "Y" EVENTS Accommodations for 200 persons have been arranged at the "Y" natorium, where the swimming exhibition will be held tonight and tomorrow. The program will begin at 7:45. Ladies as well as men are invited. No admission will be charged. BOXING BIFFS LONDON, June 19. Regardless of the result of the 20-round bout between Willie Ritchie, world's lightweight champion of England, which is scheduled to be fought here at the ; Olympic A. A. on July 4, a return J match will be fought later in the year, j Ritchie arrived here yesterday to beI gin training for this contest but be- ' fore going to his camp he and his prosj pective opponent, together with the promoters of the fight, held a eonferI ence at which both men agreed to box i another 20-round bout to be fought bei tween November 4 and 11 next, the i exact date to be determined within the next twenty-four hours.

NETTER'S DESERTION LEAVES WEAK SPOT

Kenney Faces Task of Filling Hole of Player Who Killifered. When Richmond meets the Cincinnati Superbas Sunday at Athletic park, several new faces will be seen in the Quaker line-up. The loss of Netter, who did the Kiliifer to the Maysville team of the Ohio State league, and the continued absence of Norm Voltz, star second sacker, leave Dick Kenney the task of hunting two good men to fill Sunday's line-up. Netter's jump is a blow to the local club, as he was rated as one of the steadiest players on the team, besides being an all-around man able to fill outfield, infield or backstop position in a pinch. In the three games he played here he batted at a .285 clip, and fielded at the limit. Netter has played two games with the Maysville boys and has wielded his club at .500. The possibility of Voltz getting into the game Sunday is scant. Kenney could not say today whether Norm will be able to play. Voltz is either suffering from an injury received in a game at Cincinnati three weeks ago, or is trying to lay down on the Richmend job. Voltz has been sought by various clubs in Cincy, and it may be that he has decided to ditch the Quakers, Kenney surmises. Just who Kenney will secure to fill these places is not known, but Dick says that he will have two fast men in the Quaker fold by Sunday. Dick is satisfied with the work of Stuffy Schlemker at second and will leave him there for the present. Schlemker has been fielding at 1.000 in his games here, and his one seeming weak ness, his batting lamps, has been im-, proving in the last games. j Vordenburg will work Sunday. The big boy has been given a rest for a while, and probably will occupy the , mound regularly from now on. Vordy : has won six out of seven games for ' the Quakers, and has proved the equal of any slab artist that has opposed , him. Ludwig, who led the Richinonds j to victory over the Reserves last Sunday, will not become a regular of the j team, but likely will be used in double- j headers later in the season. I An investigation of the Spanish dialects of Mexico has been undertaken by Dr. Rudolf Wagner, who will also collect folklore from both the Indian ! and the Spanish-speaking population of that country. ; You Save All If fed right first weeks with Baby Chick Food SSe.
