SEATTLE AND TACOMA BADLY WANTED
By Will J. Slattery,
Bui Francisco, Aug. J. A the a
On of 10I draws near day by day, the
baseball mag-nates of California are
. mora certain that we will have an eight
, dub league next season and that Be
attle and Tacoma will be added to the
six cities which are now ready to out
line their next season's campaign.
The theories of the California powers
may be entirely wrong and the air cas
tles which they are building so rapidly
may possibly be demolished with equal
. rapidity, but at the same time, big; do
I nets, are looked for and a merry war is
sure to be waged in the coming: fall.
" J. Cal Ewlng, president of the league
and one of the chief advocates for the
eight-club circuit Is srolnsr to make an
awful fight to get back the Seattle ter
ritory. All season. Ewlng has been
scheming and planning ways and means
by which he may outwit the crafty
Dugdnle of Seattle fame and the other
day, Bwlng announced that he had an
ace In the hole that would win the big
cot for him.
According to Ewlng. he Is In receipt
tt a lengthy communication- from the
National Baseball commission lnrorm
,lng him that if ha can show the evl
dence which he claims to have In his
possession that the Seattle people acted
in baa faith snortiy arter tne disaster,
I Seattle will be turned over to the Pa-
idflc Coast league and the big victory
won right there.
' When the National commission meets
'In October a lively old flrht Is sure to
7 ensue. Swing will be right on the Job
with his evidence and he will be backed
by the other magnates of the league.
XJugdale, with his followers will also
be there and the high tribunal of base
ball will have its hands full straighten
ing out the tangle when the cases are
presented.
Nobody seems to know Just what Ew
Ing has on tho Seattle men, but he says
that he has the gooJs and . strong
enough to win his case for him. In
the past Ewlng has always proved
himself a good fighter and a man of
his word. He has gone on record so
Strongly with the fans here that un
less he makes good, he will be put on
the pan for fair.
Once Seattle is turned over to the
Pacific Coast league, Tacoma will alwo
. hop right in. When Ewlng was In the
northwest a couple of months ago. the
Tacoma baseball men came right to htm
and announced off the reels that they
wanted to crush Into fast company pro
vided that the Seattle deal could be
fixed up to the satisfaction of Bwing.
At that time, the league's president
promised the Tacoma people that ir all
went well in Seattle they certainly
could count their city In on the elght-
ciud circuit.
Since the Southern California Ath
letic association was awarded the fran
chise for the team near Ixis Angeles,
verybody has been wondering what
city it is to be. fiut so. far Berry, Mayor
Harper. Jim Jeffries and the other pow
ers behind the new throne have been
keeping their own counsel and the pub
lic is no wiser now than it was when
the deal was put through. Most of the
wise ones are ready to go on record and
ay that Yen'ce will be the city, but
now this does not look so certain for
the reason that Venice is a very
straight laced place and will not stand
for Sunday baseball.
It would be out of the question for
any magnate to hope to make a ball
nine go In California provided the auth
orities would not give them a free rein
for games on the Sabbath. But the
Venice people have a law of their own
and they claim thev are going to mske
it stick, though the men behind tli
new club have been moving heaven and
earth for the last few days in an en
deavor to lift the ban. So frtr they
have accomplished practically nothing.
If Venice falls by the wayside. It
would not be at all surprising If San
Pedro, the IOs Angeles waterfront rltv
would cop out the big plum. Here is
one town where there Is plenty of mon
er and where, the people have the ral
eld sporting blood coursing through
their veins. Ever since It was an
nounced that the league would take In
another southern rltv, the fans of San
Pedro have been plugging to e"t a rep
resentation in the lineup. Thev are
willing to give any kind of a guarantee,
rect a swell grandstand and bleechers
and equip the ball park so that It will
be second to none of them. As San
Pedro is but a short rlrle from Tx An-
freles, the new magnates ure llkelv to
ook with a deal of favor on the town

ment In tns wild country near Harbin
Springs, Lake county. For the last
month the fallen Idol has been living the
simple life there in the hope that ho
will come back with enough vitality to
withstand the hurricane rushes of the
Durable I sine. Joe weighs more than
loO pounds now, nearly 20 pounds more
than he has tinned the scales at for
the last ten years. If he does noma
back, he will be the marvel of 'he
ring and will agiln oocupy the exalted
posltlop which Nelson usurped when he
bowled the old boy over.
There Is at least one man In the fight
ing game today who is capable of 00m
lng out of the pugilistic burying ground
and that man is Cute Eddie Hanlon.
Last Saturday night ha set the local
sporting colony on fire when he waded
Into the hard-hitting Johnny Murphy
at the little Colma pavilion and fought
him for ten rounds to a standstill.
Now Hanlon Is out with cliallenges
to meet any of them. After the re
markable showing he made he believes
that he will figure as a headllner once
more, and he proposes to take Several
more chances. At the present time
Hanlon is as good as matched with
Murphy again for the middle of the
present month, and provlned he can re
peat In this contest, which will be a
zv-rouna mixup, lie will nave a license
to play any or them.
Now that he has landed the Gam
Nelson match for Admission dav. It is
very likely that Jim Coffroth will call
off the Moran-Attell featherweight bout
which he had billed for Labor day, iuat
two days In advance of liU lightweight
attraction. It Is a moral cinch that
each match will hurt the other, perhaps
to a damaging decree. Though both of
them have an attractive look and arj
cards of unusual class, Coffroth would
rather take a chance with Gans and
Nelson, for the reason that- these two
have always been the best box office
men In the business, with the exception
of the only Jeffries, who drew more
money than any other boxer who ever
lived.
Moran is already on his way to this
city from New York, where he landed
from dear old London n fow days ago.
He got wind of what was about to be
pulled off, and he hopes to get himself
a match hv pleading with Coffroth or
by somen other means. In the meantime
Moran is hurling challenges at Nelson
The little Britisher Is sure that the
Battling Iiane is one man whom he can
beat, though strangely enough he has
not the moral confidence to say that he
Is capable of taklnir the measure of
Gans.
With the arrival of Moran tn to-h
Abe Attel! is also heating It hero. It
begins to look as though every pug of
nuie in uus country anil many from
England will be on the Job at about the
lime tne lians-Neleon fight Is about
to be pulled off. The promoters sure
snould be able to pick out a good look

(SpeoUl Cable to Hearst News Bervloe.)
London, Aug. 1, The United States
may well be proud of the splendid com
pany of young athletes aha aent over to
oompete In the Olymplo games. One
thing may be said without fear of con
tradiction, that every American in Lon
don was glad to be known as a com
patriot of the sturdy lot of youngsters
who carried tho stars and stripes to
brilliant victory under the most ad
verse conditions.
Ths story of the Olvmnln rsmes has
already been so thoroughly well told 'n
the news columns of the naners on tha
other sido of the pond that It would be
waste of time for me to nttemnt to
go into the details.
It Is to be greatly renrette.1 that n
much ill feeling has been engendered
between the American and English par
ticularly. The Americans believe, and
with good reason, that thev have heen
discriminated against from "the very be
ginning. As a matter of fact to snAjilr
of "British fair play" these davs to an
American athlete Is to bring out either
a loud and sarcnstlc "haw. haw " nr .1
string of rather lurid profanity, accord
ing to tno mime or mind or the man
to whom one Is speaking.
Xaiikee Tricks Feared.
The discrimination against the Amer
icans has been due to two causes In
the first place, the average Britisher
is firmly convinced that the American
sportsman, whether amateur or profes
sional, athlete or horseman. Is tricky
and willing to resort to any method,
fair or unfair, in order to win. Of
course this Is absurd, for no athletes
who competed at the Olympiad played
stralgliter or won fairer than those who
wore the stars and stripes. But tho
British officials were always looking for
"tricks" 011 t lie part of the Americans,
and, naturally, found them even when
there were none.
Another thing Is that the average
Briton cannot realize mat a man of any
Ilshman takes up. Therefore, whan with
the Innate suspicion of American trlck
lnesa, they saw their beat were con
stantly beaten by tha men from tha
states, It became a settled conviction
that the Americans were winning, not
because they were the better men, but
because of unfair methods,
Thus It was that every teohnloallty
was employed against the Amerloans,
that every circumstance out of tha
strict ordinary was looked on aa arl
dence of sharp practice, and that on
more than one occasion absolute rank
Injustice was dona tha American ath
letes. That they won ao splendid and de
cided a victory in field and track ath
letics adds to tha glory of their achieve
ments.
Radical OhanfM In Methods.
One result of the grossly unfair rul
ings of the British track officials un
doubtedly will be a radical ohanga in
the methoda of conducting future Olym
piads. Theoretically amateur sports
men are gentlemen who may be de
pended upon to act with perfect fair
ness. In practice the theory falls down
b.'ullv. It ij certain, therefore, that lit
future Olympiads the games will ba In
the hands of an International commit
tee and the Judges will be drawn from
the various nations which compets. In
this wav only will it be possible to
avoid a repetition of the scandals which
have done much to spoil the London
gnme and which have made the boasted
"British fair play" a cause for laughter.
It can safely be said, according to
all the evidence, that the British ama
teur athletes are the hardest losers in
the world.
This has only been emphasized at the
Olympic games. When American horses,
trainers and Jockeys wero sweeping thi
British turf, they were either ruled off
or things were made ho unpleasant for
(hom thnt thev voluntarily retired
When American oarsmen show signs of
