BENZ OUTCLASSES EXPEIISIVEOWE Dreyfus Outbid Comisky $1,500 (or Pitcher Who Failed to Show Class. By FRANK O. MENKE. NEW .YORK, July 11 Charles Com!ky, of the White Sox, feels' grateful about $22,500 worth toward Barney Dreyfus, of the Pimtes. It all comes about through a little happening of six weeks ago. At that time, Charles, Barney and a buach Of other magnates were shouting themselves hoarse in raising each other's bids for a pitcher named Marty ; O'Toole, who, at that timet, was setting the American Association on fire with . his wonderful twirling. Well, the bidding finally simmered down to Charles and Barney, the other magnates figuring their bankrolls were not huge enough to enable them to secure the St. Paul phenom. Charles bid $19,000, Barney whooped it up to $20,000, Charles countered with $21,000 and then Barney shot the price to $22,500. Charles Drops Out. Charles debated some time about . raising the Dreyfuss ante, and then decided to let Barney have O.Toole, although Charles surely did want the American association star to bolster up his then somewhat weak pitching staff.

Barney got O'Toole, after separating himself from $22,500 and he got a lemon. O'Toole never has made good since he took up his pitching chores under the Pirate flag. So poor has bis showing been this season that Dreyfuss asked for waivers on him. and it looks certain now that it will be only a year or two longer before the man who brought the record price in baseball will find his way back to the minors. As a sort of sequel to this yarn is the story that concerns Comisky .and Joe Benz. When Dreyfus outbid Comisky for the possession of , O'Toole Comisky, being in need of a pitcher, exercised his option on a youth named Benz, who then was pitching In one of the small minor leagues. Tries Young Benz.

Benz did not loom up largely but Comisky needed a pitcher and he took a chance on the party with the racing automobile name. Well, Benz delivered, and in such a way that he is regarded today as one of the best pitchers in the big leagues. Ty Cobb, in one of his Bigned articles, tells us that if the White Sox had some hitters they would win the pennant. Right, Ty; and if the Naps had some pitchers they would be liable to cop, too. The Naps have lost about twenty of their games this year by one run, and in most of those games they averaged around three runs an average that ought to win seventy-five per cent of the games. But the Naps pitching corps has been oh, what's the use of rubbing it in?

KEtlllEY SIGNS HUNtl TO BACK UP VORDY

Quaker Manager Prepares for Hard Battle With Elmwoods, of Kentucky. With the addition of Nunn, who has been pitching for the Hello Boys all season, the Quakers will meet the Elmwoods tomorrow afternoon with tne same line-up that was used In the last game. Kenney's men expect a hard fight with the Kentucky team but believe they can furnish the necessary amount of speed to defeat them. Mathis, who plays right Held for the Elmwoods, played against Rich

mond last year with the Y. M. I. club. Rohan, a star Notre Dame player, is playing short stop for the visitors. Busam, at the first sack, was considered one of the best players in the Ohio State league, before he signed with Clausing. Betzing, the pitcher, is especially hard to hit because he can pitch with either left or right arm. He will be backed up by "Lefty" Diehl, who may pitch part of the game. Vordenburg is counted on to carry

the Richmond club to victory, but Kenney is a little afraid of him and has signed Nunn, to be used in case of an emergency. When Nunn played with the Hello Boys, the locals got ten hits off of him. Nunn, however, says he can do better with the backing the Richmond team will give him. Clausing, the mayor-manager of the team, is betting big odds that they can clean up on the Quaker aggregation. The big game will be called at 2:-5 o'clock. The curtain raiser will be played between the Union Giants and the Federals. The following is the line-up to be used in tomorrow's game: Richmond McCann, rf; Merkle, cf; Novack, c; Popkins, lb; Dahl, If; Lenniger, 3b; Cushing, ss; Schlemker, 2b; Vordenburg, p; Nunn, p. Elmwoods Mathis, rf; Rohan, ss; Macke, 3b; Busam, lb; Durner, 2b; Beebe, c; Williams, If; Helwig, c; Betzing, p; Diehl, p.

By FRANK G. MENKE. NEW YORK, July 11. It will be another three or four years before the heavyweight crown is torn from the dusky dome of Jack Johnson, if his showing In the Moran fight is any criterion. 111 ' Johnson, at 36, may not be quite as good a fighter as he was when he bumped Jeffries off the throne, but at that, he Is still about a dozen jumps ahead of any white fighter of the pres

ent day. And, too, Johnson is a good deal better than he seemed to be when he fought Moran. Johnson didn't let himself out in

that Moran fight and everyone who saw that fight knows it. Johnson could have knocked Moran out in any round he chose, but he let the white man remain on his feet until the finish. Johnson' needed the exercise. He wanted to prove to himself that he had not aged to such an extent that 20 rounds would tire him, and so instead of sending Moran to the mat for the count in the early part of the light, he simply toyed with him all the way, much in the same way that a cat toys, with a mouse. Stilt1 as Punch. The fact that Johnson didn't knock out Moran inclines persons to the belief that he no longer has the punch that brought the bacon home so often in the days of his youth. But those who think that way are due for a rude shock the very first time Johnson is pitted against a real fighter. The

old punch is still there. It may not have the full, paralyzing power of other years, but there is still enough torce in it to send into dreamland any man who might be brave enough to stick his jaw in front of it. Those who looked for a Moran victory counted heavily on Johnson's dissipations so ' weakening nim that It would give Moran a chance. But they were treated to a disagreeable surprise. Johnson, although ten years o,der than Moran, and with a record oi four years of dissipation against Koran's clean life, came out of the fight in better physical condition than

did the white man. He showed greater i

stamina, greater endurance and more energy than did the white man. There are some persons now who feel that Gunboat Smith or Jess Wil-

lard, who are in the first ranks of,

white hopes, would have a chance against Johnson. Perhaps and per-! haps not. Johnson, if pitted against j either ol the two would extend him-j self. He wouldn't play the cat and ; mouse game that he did with Moran. j He would get out with the idea ofj finishing his rival in the quickest pos-i sible time. He would uncork his j terrible punch at the first opportunity. ' He, would bring into play all his ringj craft. And the chances are about 1

three to one that he would land a knockout within ten rounds.

BIRDI LIES BACK. Cree, who was .released to the Baltimore Orioles last winter, after some years In the big leagues is again playing with the New York Yankees.

DROPPING OUT. The Cleveland Naps are barely in the American League at this writing. HOW ABOUT FREDDIE? Champion Freddie Welsh says that Ritchie could whip both Moran and Matt Wells in the same ring simul

taneously. Freddie is not handing himself any bouquets or anything like that. GETS THE HABIT. Jack Johnson has agreed to fight both Sam Langford and Georges Carpenteir. A iew bars of that new song. "All he does is follow them around" would be appropriate. ALL DOUBTS GONE. Welsh is a real champion all right. He is going into vaudeville immediately If not sooner. BOXING SPIRIT BLAZED. LONDON, July 10. Boxing enthusias is at fever heat over the bout between "Gunboat" Smith, of the United States of America and Georges Carpentier, of France, in this city, on next Thursday night. This contest, which is to decide the white heavyweight championship of the world, is the third bout of international interest to be held in Europe in less than three weeks, and the

Johnson-Moran and Welsh-Ritchie fights which preceded it served to stimulate interest in the approaching combat.

PRESIDENT OF CUBS DEIS RED TRADE

CHICAGO, July 11. According to) President Thomas of the Cubs, the re ported trade of two West Side play ers, Mollwiti and Williams, for short stop Derrick of the Cincinnati Red cannot be left to President Tener of the league or any one else for a deck slon because the West Side boss env phatlcally denies there had been such a trade. When told that President Herrmann of the Reds, was willing to leave the case to the head of the lea gue, Thomas said: "There has been no such trade and never will be. I have notified Mr. Herrmann that we cannot consider suctt a deal. We never accepted it and we are not going to. There is no chance for him to get Mollwltx and Williams' for the recruit. He couldn't get even one of the two for Derrick."

AIR PILOTS READY FOR TRIAL FLIGHTS

ST. LOUIS, July 11 With all preparations nine big gas bags tugged at their anchors ready for the start of the national elimination balloon race from here late today. The weather was clear and cool, but the absence of any wind made the pilots a little dubious regarding their chances for making record flights. The first balloon, the Hoosier, with Warren Rasor of Brookville, O., as pilot, and his son, Herbert, as aid, was

scheduled to depart at 5 o'clock, while the other gas bags were to leave at five-minute intervals. The pilots drew lots to determine their starting position, Captain R. A. D. Preston of Akron, O., pilot of the balloon Goodyear, winning last1 place, the favored position. The Aero club of St. Louis has announced that Captain John Berry and Albert von Hoffman, both of St. Louis, have offered a silver trophy to the aeronaut who will eclipse in America a flight of 920 miles, which Berry and von Hoffman made from San Antonio, Texas.
