"Professional and amateur base- ball probably will be rolled together in one big mass in national army and national guard camps, naval train- reserve sta- it seems tions. One haval reserve station seems well qualified without further com- ment to take the championship of the entire armed forces At the Charlestown Navy Yard, Boston, Jack Barry, Chick Shorten, Ernie Shore, Duffy Lewis, Harold Janvrin, Walter Maranville and other big league luminaries are spehding their time. Stuffy McInnis, Philadel- phia's wonder-firse-baseman, and Dick Hoblitzel, Boston first sacker, have given notice that they intend going to the same place. Hank *Gowdy is among the sol- diers in the Ohio National Guard and . the chances are he will be in Europe before time comes to play baseball Jim Scott also is in the army. But the big leaguers probably will find their accustomed places in the limelight usurped to a certain. ex- tent in the army, for the amateurs are going to carry more weight with the people. Lads who never played baseball to any great extent are go- | ing to try their hands at blossoming | into stars. The Clark Griffith -Bat and Ball fund and efforts of the two big i leagues are going to make the camp and naval baseball possible Thou- sands of dollars have been spent for equipment to be placed in the camps, and already much of it has been put to a good use In the southern camps baseball has been possible through most of the chilly months. | The northern camps will get into action soon. The National League has equip- ped several warships at its own ex- baseball paraphernalia, and the men aboard these defenders | ot the nation are not only enjoying the game themselves, but are taking it in. pense with Two Trotting Horses Burned. The trotting horses, Battle King, 209%, Shadeland, Charley B., Di- rect Swift, Hester B. and Doris B. were burned to death at the Maison- neuve 'Race Track stables. Battle King was 1ecently brought tq Mont- real from the United States. Shade- lapd Charley B. last season . won twenty first, two second and two third prizes. Both horses were the property of Napoleon Daoust, pre- sident 'of the Maisonneuve Driving Club.

"Old John L. was the daddy of them all," Jeffries said. 'He in- vented the knockout punch, was the first man to make a science out of the knockout, with his famous right cross. We are copied that stuff from nim, but none of us younger fellows ever used it like John L. could. When his old ram of a fish connected with a jaw it carried more steam than any of us fellows who followed him. "And how he's dead. Say some- thing nice about )old John L., will you?" he conclutted. James J. Corbett the only man who ever defeated John L. Sullivan, paid a tribute to the memory of the vet- eran fighter. "The death of John L. Sullivan has taken from the realm of sport the most idolized pugilist of all times," said Corbett. "He was the most re- inarkable man of his weight and in- ches in ring history, and I feel a great personal loss in his passing. 'Honest to the core, a wonderful fighting man, with a wonderful per- sonality, he 'was never once coh- nected with a battle in all of his years in the ring over which the shadow of suspicion was cast. All of his battles were won or lost on their merits. He was a great, big, two-fisted, honest hearted man's man, with a million friends.

It is too bad that Cam- eron and Noble cannot behave them- selves, They not only make things hard for the other players and Man- ager Querrie, but the fans, too, are "wise," and it is these things . that hurt professional hockey, Amateur Boxing at Montreal.

BAN JOHNSON ENDS DREAMS Of Toronto and Baltimore For Major League Fame. Ban Johnson, president of the American League, has put an'end to major league hopes of Baltimore and Toronto in a recent 'reply to these clubs "in which he stated that there was only one city outside the major league circuits deserving to be pro- moted to higher standing and. that was Kansas City. Johnson declared that Kansas City had the population and the necessary enthusiasii to support 'a major league club, and the only reason it had not attained this standing was because of its geographical location, which made it impossible to include it in either of the circuits. Johnson's announcement will be a great disappointment to Baltimore promoters because the old Federal League backers in that city have been entertaining hopes that some readjustment of circuits would bring the old home of the Orioles back to major league standing. Toronto had a great season last year with a pen- nant winning club under Larry La- joie,' and when Ed Barrow and Ban Johnson had a scheme last fall to form a third major league circuit, Toronto and Baltimore were includ- ed in the readjustment.

Both men were esgpntially red-blooded, full-fledged fighting men. They were not dancing mas- ters or kid glove onents of the art of boxing, but heavy-hitting smash- ing types of pugilists. "They were heroic figures. Sullivan was perhaps | more popular than the Australian be-| cause he was a "good mixer" and a| spender. He earned many thousands | of dollars, and spent it as fast as he made it. When he was in his prime | only one man, Charlie Mitchell, was | able to hold him on anything like| even terms.
