to Break Winning Streak of the Lima Locos Surprised Everyone When He Tied the Can on Managers Jones and Curley And To Be Played For Soldier Roys at Ft Sheridan Champion i Reported to Have Said He Will Not Consider Under $75000 Gramm-Eernstein Tailend-ers Will Try to Stage a Come-back in City Race Vic Saier jecutly handed his release by the Chicago Cubs is certainly entertaining oid man hard lutk these days The great fust sacker broke his leg at Lie start cf too season and his ball playing for 1317 was over then and there At the time no ore believed that the Cubs would Ijiul lmu a release for when he is sound and well he is ous-of the best ball players in the big iw The release of 3a er theiefore came as a surpiise to the general baseball puhli- for eveiy one thought that lie would io tarried bv the Cubs becaus-' broke his leg in service or th" di-mond Evidently Saier contra did not bind the Cub management to i-c-p inm cn the payr-rolf The real ca i-e for h's release recording to the be-t information is the fact that one of his eyes is failing him This-was said to be the cause of his hatting slump in 1916 and the purchase of Mollwitz from Cincinnati indi(alnd at the time that Saier was slipping The Standing ai they had to do was to collect But if Wiliard is to blame for his failure to defend the heavyweight championship the contract held by his managers will carry more weight when aired in the courts At any rate the rumpus 'between Willard and his handlers is of more than ordinary interest to the boxing public for it appears now that the way is paved for a showdown regard ing Willards intentions If Jones and Curley succeed In forcing Willard to go thorugh with contracts made for him- this spnmcr things- will up a bit in heavyweight circles If they fail and Willard continues to row his own boat the public will feel Justified iu demanding to know whether or not he intends to light again and the success of hi circus venture will depend largely on the answer Willard Is reported to have said that ha would not consider an offer of less than $75000 to defend his crown The chance of his getting such an offer is mighty slim yet with $125000 invested in a circus and his popularity aveiage dwindling to a trio of goose eggs Jess will probably see the light and thru for a much small purse Jess may be guilty of ingratitude in a W'ay as Jones and Curley claim yet it world appear that in the face of statements regarding his big earnings the twin managers have been well repaid for the part they played in piloting him to the position he holds as a money getter It is natural for a manager to howl about the ingratitude of a fighter who slips him the blue envelope yet it- is the fighter who stands the gaff after all for he is the one who takes all the chances and stops all the wallops while the money Is coming in at the gate Home Run Baker He poled out a homer which broke the losing streak of the Yankees The Boston Braves shut out the Phillies for the 0r3t time this season McGravv shook hands with Teller Just like the kaiser shaking hands with the lung So far the Red Sox show no sigs of fading Two victories over uie Athletics helped The Giants

Jack Curlej his twin managers and they will gladly put you right on the matter Willard's action in tying the can to his managers was a big surprise to everybody but no one received such a shock as Jones and Curley for they thought they had Willard sewed up so tight there wa3 no cause for worry When they saw their private meal ticket slipping away it was natural that they should let cut a huge equawk Willard claimed he getting enough action out of his managers He gave this as one of his reasons for severing diplomatic relations and he hopes to evade several contracts they Signed up for him Whether or not he cin do this remains to be seen for Jones is said to be determined though he has adopted a conciliatory policy instead of going to court as Curley did It Willard is sincere in his charge that his handlers were not getting him enough to do the reason for his long period of idleness in fistic circles is plain enough He was kept out of the ring because his managers were waiting for a chance to make one great big killing Meanwhile his circus earnings were fat enough to satisfy both Curley and Jones and The baseball writers will low xe-pudiate John McGraw which reminds us of a

by a spiral current of water the device being made so that it can be attached to almost any household faucet Efforts on the part of major league club owners and officials to stamp out gambling on the games have been successful failures in the face of operations in several big league cities this year The first big yelp that "went up against baseball gamblers came from the Polo grounds where the owners of the Yankees received many protests Finally Harry Sparrow secretary of the club took the matter in his own hands and as a result the ring leaders of tbe baseball bookmakers were denied admittance to the park Sparrow was sought out by politicians it is said wno made an attempt to have the tars lifted for a number of men wrho blacklisted at the gates but he remained firm and as a result gambling at the Yankee games is fast being stopped The biggest row of the season in which the gamblers figured wrs the recent near-riot at Boston when the Red Sox were playing the Chicago Sox It is admitted by several Boston sport writers that the gamblers were responsible for the crowd surging on the field in an attempt to stop the game when rain temporarily interfered President Frazee was so thoroughly incensed over this Incident that he hired a corps of private detectives to spot the gamblers and action smiliar to that taken by Harry Sparrow will be used by the Boston club The gamblers have been getting bolder each season and it is high time the club owners got busy for gambling would soon do to baseball what It did for racing years ego although the case is not the same
