CARI. lltlllms oily!“
EAST 10 m mm

Al't‘tlldlltg to reports from the
West. t'ai'l Morris is about to make
another of his periodical outbreaks.
Once a year tiie original white hope

bottles out of the West, crushes a
few third rate liiaulers, works up
A match of some importance, fails

miserably and then retires to his en~
glue cab until the tillle is propitious
for" him to go through the whole
plugralu again.

This time Morris is coming East
under the liiauagemcllt of lliily Mc-
Cariicy, the man who discovered and
developed Luther McCarty. There
is ilo better press agent than ltlc-
as he proved when he prac-
tically forced the sporting world to
recognize the unfortunate Luther as
the world's best white heavyweight.

‘ldvidelitly :ltlorris Is smart. enough
to recognize McCarney's genius or he
would never have taken up with the
Illllil who was instrumental In bring-
ing about his defeat by what was
unfair means. according to what
Morris always claimed.

This was when Morris was given
a short count after being knocked
down by McCarty at a club in
Springfield managed by McCariiey. It
was that affair that brought Mc-
(‘art‘y into the limelight and paved
the way for him to seize. the white
hope honors which he clinched by
defeating such dubs as Jim Flynn
and Al l’lilzer.

However, ltic(‘arney‘s success as
manager is not altogether based up—
on hls ability to make the light fans
believe what is not no. lie is well
qualified to bring out the best that
Is in a fighting man. if Morris b)’
any chance has latent ability not yet
developed MCU-fll‘lley Is sure to bring
It out. ' ‘

The big purses now offered in
England and France form the In-
centive for the ivlci‘arucy-Morrls part-
nership. McCllriiey believes that If
Morris can regain some of his lost
prestige by winning a few bouts
In New York he can go abroad and
mix ill the big doings iii Europe.

ALBERTS MEETS CASSIDY.

SPORTING NOTES.

While the baseball public is heart-
ily pleased with the outcome of the
baseball war, such action outside file
field of sport has tended to decrease
the interest in the great American
game. The fans expend their coin
to see ball games and not to hear tor-
rents of tnterfactiolial disputes or to
withhold a desire to see a favorite
player while his case is being tried
out in the courts. The fans spend
their money to see ball games. and
when financial greed and dogipihe.
manger attitude of organized baseball
In regard to the Federal usurps
press prominence their interest wanes
as it has done to a great extent re-
cently. Baseball patronage has full-
eu off considerably of late. Accord-
ing to several well-known sporting
goods dealers, more golf, tennis and
other athletic accessories have been
sold this year than ever before. This
goes to show that there have been
many descrtiolls from the ball parks.
and the undeniable reason has been

the petty squabbling among the mug-
nutes and players. The baseball
public want baseball, but will not

support the game when it becomes
subservient to other interests than
those of the fans. However, the syru-
pathy of tandem is with the players,
and the outcome of the threatened
strike is met with general favor.
Judge Blssell, in Chicago, said that
baseball is one of the biggest monop-
olies in the country, and that it tends
to restrain a player from exercising
his profession to suit his own Inter-
ests. ’l‘lie sentiment is invariably with
the under dog, and it has been long
I recognized fact that the 0. B. mag-
nutes have “hugged" the great revs.
line of the game. It is a great won
der that with the warfare between»
the O. B.‘magnates and Feds fret dis-
turbances and threatened strikes to
take the attention of the players from
the some that there has been time
to play at all. ,

When Eddie Collins signed a five
year contract with the Athletics. Tues-
day. at $10,000 a year. he played a
cruel Joke on the Feds. A month
ago one of the Words, who are back-
ill; the Brookfcds. took Collins out
for an automobile ride In Chicago. A
day later Danny Murphy, of the Wash-
Ington Pork team solemnly announced

‘ that Colli'nshltd been won away from

Connie Mack. Murphy said that Col-
lins had received an offer of $25,000
a year, with a year's salary, In ad-
vance. and that he had accepted the
Wards‘ tomi‘ll. but would not sign ,un-
til next fall. The fact that Collins
has yielded to the persuasive argu-

ments of Mock therefore would seem-

to indicate one of €on things-um ho
had aomé fun at the Wards' expense
or that Murphy was talking through
his lid.

TEAM CRITICI‘E-D 3V
TENNIS EXPERTS

The linvis L‘up tennis team that
will represent this country in the com-
ing international matches has failed
to meet with the unanimous approval
of tennis experts, and the committee
is being criticised by some close stu-
dents of the garlic.

Despite the vigorous denial of
Chairman Robert I). Wrenn that the
team would consist of Maurice E. MI:-
lnughlin, of San Francisco; Richam
Norris Williams. of Philadelphia; 'Kul'l
ll. Behr, of New York, and Thomas C.
lluudy, of Loo Angeles, as announced

in lloston, on Tuesday. these four play- me

ers were Wednesday officially appoint-
ed by Mr. Wreull and his fellow oom-
initteemeu, George T. Adee and Henry
W. Slocum.

Outside of the~bare announcement
of the four players, the committee
made no further comment. Mc-
ItullgIlIIll and Williams are certain
to play in the singles, and the opinion
prehlils that Mt‘lfluflllln and {Bandy
will play In the doubles. although
practically every follower of the game
Is at the opinion that Mcwughlin nlld

has repeatedly told the committee that
he could do his best work with Bun-
dy as a partner, as he does not know
Belir‘s style well. If Moloughlln and
llehr settled down to steady practice.
however, there is no doubt but that
they would form the strongest combi-
nation in the country. Bandy has
seen his best days as a tennis player.

The committee has left the team
woefully weak in the singles if an ac-
cident should happen toeithor Mo
IJOUEIIIIB or Williams. Neither Bohr
nor Bundy Is a brilliant singles player.
it is the general opinion that the com-
mittee should lave definitely decided

as reserve men. These last named

bles. Results. however, will show
whether the. committee made a mis
take or not.‘

There is one thing In favor of the
four players tlint have been chosen.
and that Is they have all hlld previous
experience In Davis Cup matches.
