Y. to Washington random forever yesterday when his Individual performance with tha war ctab enabled the Nationals defeat Connie Mack's A thistles by a * to 4 count The fighting spirit that Unda Sam has driven Into Rica during his short stay In tha khakis was driven Into the locals yesterday as the close victory Which was wit¬ nessed by 10.0M fans proved tbe best uphill battle ever staged at the Flor¬ ida avenue stadium. Dw to wabbling, hurling and poor fielding by Doctor Wyatt, Yancey Ayera, the Nationals were forced to come from behind to grab off this edge over Mack's "Coolies," but they responded gamely through brilliant stick work and sensational pitching by Jimmy Shaw. Ayters got away to a great start, but he faltered In the second and third Innings when the Sturaberland tribe crashed across a trio of counters. . Opposed to the HillsviNe mounds- men was Scott Perry, the hurler who may disrupt organised baseball lr Connie Mack and" the American league force the Issu* with the Na« itonal Commission on the claim of tha Boston Braves. Setting a trim ming nowadays is nothing new to Mr. Perry, as his defeat yesterdav was his eighth straight Although Perry was touched up for eleven safe blows, two bad Innings in whlca drift's clan bunched these safe whacks, spoiled the afternoon, from a Philadelphia standpoint Parry went along until the fourth when the first bombardment was opened on his offerings. Two hits with two men down were obtained off him in the opening inning while Ayres was belnr treated In an un- lady like manner by the Mackmen in the second and third when three runa were recorded against the Na¬ tionals. At this point the Old Fox had witnessed enough of Ayer's work and handed him the ahower call. Jimmy Shaw facing the visi¬ tors in the fourth. Shaw's wlldness in this chapter gave the Athletics the lead way to their final tallJe and from the form that Perry was allowing it appeared that the af¬ ternoon s entertainment was all settled. But there was no settlement at this stage of the battle as OrifTs warriors went into* their half of the, fourth session and jammed through tnree of the needed runa while Jim¬ my Shaw improved as ha went along and was practically Invin¬ cible In the final three frames. The Macks pushed through their first1 ,2,'iiUn ,he second Inning when' Gardner singled to left Held and' went a ll the way to the far corner when Ayers retired Perkins at first Judge rallied the ball to Lavan who in turn tossed it past Foster in at¬ tempting to get Gardner.

Bobby Herman the little catcher who Griff took South for spring training did not return to this city with the Grlffmen yesterday.

June H..One of the curious effects of the war Is the In- tematlonal Interest which has been aroused In American sports. Italy apparently is the most recent victim of the baseball germ, according to Dr. Felice Ferrero. director of the Italian Bureau of Information In this city. Football, as played in America. as well as t*e national game of this country, also has taken hold of the popular Interest In Italy. The "Gaxetta dello Sport," one of the most Influential sport journals of that country. Is raising a fund for the purchase of baseballs, bats and footballs and the distribution of prises among the soldiers to stimulate com¬ petition. General Pennella, commander of the Second Italian Army, In a letter to the "Qaietta dello Sport," say* that football and baseball games are of inestimable value In the training for Leonard in dan due.

Of course. Dick waa a college player, but he was conceded by his author-creator to be better than any of the big league boys. He could pitch left and right handed, and It kwaa a common occurrence for him to come to the bat In the ninth, with three men on, two down, and the score 3 to 0 In favor of the opposition, and knock a home run. That waa Dick's everyday work. But now Dick has a rival In real life, writes Harvey J. Boyle in "The Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph." His rival Is Babe Ruth. The Red Sox star la not ambidextrous, aa waa the mythical Merrlwell. but he can play first, the outfield and pitch, aside from leading the American league batters with a percentage of over .?*>. Babe Ruth should have the honor of being called a Dick Merrfwell. TOWN AND COUNTRY GOLFERS TAKE LEAD The golfers from the local Town and Country Club gained a decisive lead over the players from the .Sub¬ urban Club of Baltimore, yester¬ day in the first half of their Nassau match. The locals scored six vic¬ tories in eight contests making the points stand 14 to 4. The second portion of this match will be played In Baltimore next Sunday. Jimmy Spencer, the Town and Country Club profeslonal. also won from Tom Skipper, the Suburban Club pro. 2 and 1. Spencer's great driving was the deciding factor.

BIG BATTLE IS LISTEDTUESDAY Benny Leonard, the Light¬ weight Champ, Meets Jack Britton. "Philadelphia, June It..Billy Olb- son, manager for Benny Leonard, insists that the clever little New Yorker is still & light-weight and can make the limit for that class without any trouble. Whether he can or not will have no bearing on the outcome of Tuesday night's bout here with Jack Britton, sched¬ uled to take place at Shibe Park, the scene of the elimination of Johnny Kilbane by the same Benny Leonard last summer. In this encounter Leonard will not be risking his title and will not forfeit the light-weight champion¬ ship should he lose or should he be knocked out. The coming bout is to be a welter-weight contest, as it will be fought at 141 pounda ringside. Therefore all consideration of the match must be on the basis of that weight and what bearing it will have on the result. Leonard and Britton are admit¬ tedly the two beat boxers of their weight now in the ring in this country. They resemble the old school of fighters, and remind stu¬ dents of boxing of the day of Griffo, Gans and McAuliflfe. when the fol¬ lowers of the sport demanded clev¬ erness. aggressiveness and game- ness from their pugilistic heroes. Leonard is the harder hitter of the two. and his blows hurt mor« when they land, but Brittbn is a master of the defensive side of box¬ ing and he never lets an opponent land a blow on any part of his an¬ atomy if he can avoid it. Therefore many of Benny's blows, which if landed on a less experienc¬ ed boxer would be damaging, will not be as effective when aimed at Britton. and In that respect Leon¬ ard's strength will be offset by Brit- ton's superior defense. DEMPSEY-FULTON BATTLE BOOKED FOR ORIOLE PARK LONG AWAITED RING CONTEST Oriolfe Boxing Fans Anxious to Witness Chaney-Dun- dee Battle. Baltimore, lid., June B -Whrn tb« AmerietB Athletic Association match¬ ed George Chsney, the Knockout King of this city, and Johnny Dundee, the Scotch Wop of New York, for a 12- round decision bout next Saturday afternoon at Oriole Park, it succeed¬ ed In closing a bout for which local followers of the ring gams have been hoping several year® Desirs to see these boys over a distance route has been Increased several times by the fact that just when It looked as if the set-to might be arranged something bobbed up that resulted in he affair going by the board. No match staged here within the last half dozen years has attracted as much attention from the jump as this one. This is not only the case here, but out or town as well. All hands realise that these great bat¬ tlers will put up a fight worth going far to see, snd that a decisive win¬ ner between the two will mean great additional fame for the victor. For a number of years now Chaney has shown himself to be the hardest puncher in his class, and he has won 50 per cent of his bouts by knockouts. As a matter of fact. George has lost only four matches In his entire career, and they were all by knockouts. The fact that any boy who went the limit was unable to get a decision over him attests to the fact that the Kayo Boss has considerably more science than he is .credited with in many places. Chaney's four defeats are all well remembered here. Young Brltt stopped George when he was a mew youngster, and George came right back and sent Britt to dreamland on two occasions, putting an end to Britt's ring career. Tommy Houck stopped George after the Baltimore boy had won all the way in 10 rounds, a chance blow turning tho trick. Chaney got revenge a short while after and put Houck out In less than five rounds. Mike Clancy stopped George with a fluke punch and no amount of effort was large enough to ever induce Clancy to again get into the ring with Chaney. Kllbane scored the other victory over the Baltimore t>oy. INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE Toronto. 4; Newark. 1. Toronto, 2; Newark, S. Triple A Qub Is Ready to Yield Grounds to Promoters. Baltimore. Md.

The whole hone of contention wm that the American Athletic I. Hide tlop managers believed that the stat¬ ing of the Dempsey-Futton light would cripple the fight which expeots to stage here oa July C between George Chaney and Johnny Dun iti 1 After much discussion theae manager* were made to see that Mg fight sched¬ uled for Baltimore was something that would probably never again ha seen here, and that the psngii of thle city would want to see It above an ether fights. The American Association manager* then practically screed that if Jung would coneent to make np to them what they would likely loee In sUf- ln« their fight ee soon after the Dempeey-Fulton match, tlte park was their* for the go. This wss agreed to aad tomorrow the managers of both matches win ¦meet again to try and reach sons agreement as to the sum to be paM So now It looks ss if Oriole Park will be cinched for the big fight. Messrs. Jung and Schoenlein realise the importance of the contest and rightfully believe Baltimoreans are ready to witness this fancy pugilistic dish. Likewise, they are of the opinion that the Monumental Sporting Club, o which they are tbe promoters, might be able to realise a nifty sum from the staging of the encounter. They have gone about arranging the mill in a square end above-board manner, in fact, they have shown s frankness, an intelligence and a sincerity uncommon with those who have taken It unto tbcmwelvee to monopolise boxing in this city. In speaking of the affair tonight Jung said: "We have done everything reasonable in an effort to secure Oriole Park. We have tbe oontracta for the fighters, which call #or a purse of S25.0W. ft has been said that we should make them work on a per¬ centage basis. To do this I might aay that we offered them as high as eev- enty per cent, and they refused. 'We even demanded that $5,000 be cut from the original puree of SS.000 In¬ asmuch as the mill was tote cut from twenty rounds (the distanoe set when it was thought the affair would take place in Danbury. Conn.) to fifteen. To thia a deaf ear was also turned. The negotiations were conducted ss busi- ness-liks aa posible." '(S. N + g * With Murad the dawn will be brighter.

Baseball and FootballAdopted by Italian Army

New York. June H..One of thecurious effects of the war Is the In-tematlonal Interest which has beenaroused In American sports. Italyapparently is the most recent victimof the baseball germ, according toDr. Felice Ferrero. director of theItalian Bureau of Information In thiscity. Football, as played in America.as well as t*e national game of thiscountry, also has taken hold of thepopular Interest In Italy.The "Gaxetta dello Sport," one ofthe most Influential sport journals ofthat country. Is raising a fund forthe purchase of baseballs, bats andfootballs and the distribution of prisesamong the soldiers to stimulate com¬petition.General Pennella, commander of the

Second Italian Army, In a letter tothe "Qaietta dello Sport," say* thatfootball and baseball games are ofinestimable value In the training for

Boys] Here's a RivalFor DicktMerriwelT

There was a time when a good manylioys thought Dick Merrlwell waawhat might be called the real goodsIn baseball. Of course. Dick waa acollege player, but he was concededby his author-creator to be better thanany of the big league boys. He couldpitch left and right handed, and Itkwaa a common occurrence for him tocome to the bat In the ninth, withthree men on, two down, and thescore 3 to 0 In favor of the opposition,and knock a home run. That waaDick's everyday work.But now Dick has a rival In real

life, writes Harvey J. Boyle in "ThePittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph." Hisrival Is Babe Ruth. The Red Soxstar la not ambidextrous, aa waa themythical Merrlwell. but he can playfirst, the outfield and pitch, aside fromleading the American league batterswith a percentage of over .?*>. BabeRuth should have the honor of beingcalled a Dick Merrfwell.

BIG BATTLE ISLISTEDTUESDAYBenny Leonard, the Light¬

weight Champ, MeetsJack Britton.

"Philadelphia, June It..Billy Olb-son, manager for Benny Leonard,insists that the clever little NewYorker is still & light-weight andcan make the limit for that classwithout any trouble. Whether hecan or not will have no bearing on

the outcome of Tuesday night'sbout here with Jack Britton, sched¬uled to take place at Shibe Park,the scene of the elimination ofJohnny Kilbane by the same BennyLeonard last summer.In this encounter Leonard will

not be risking his title and will notforfeit the light-weight champion¬ship should he lose or should he beknocked out. The coming bout is tobe a welter-weight contest, as it willbe fought at 141 pounda ringside.Therefore all consideration of thematch must be on the basis of thatweight and what bearing it willhave on the result.Leonard and Britton are admit¬

tedly the two beat boxers of theirweight now in the ring in thiscountry. They resemble the oldschool of fighters, and remind stu¬dents of boxing of the day of Griffo,Gans and McAuliflfe. when the fol¬lowers of the sport demanded clev¬erness. aggressiveness and game-ness from their pugilistic heroes.Leonard is the harder hitter of

the two. and his blows hurt mor«when they land, but Brittbn is amaster of the defensive side of box¬ing and he never lets an opponentland a blow on any part of his an¬atomy if he can avoid it.Therefore many of Benny's blows,

which if landed on a less experienc¬ed boxer would be damaging, willnot be as effective when aimed atBritton. and In that respect Leon¬ard's strength will be offset by Brit-ton's superior defense.

DEMPSEY-FULTON BATTLEBOOKED FOR ORIOLE PARK

LONG AWAITEDRING CONTEST

Oriolfe Boxing Fans Anxiousto Witness Chaney-Dun-

dee Battle.Baltimore, lid., June B -Whrn tb«

AmerietB Athletic Association match¬ed George Chsney, the Knockout Kingof this city, and Johnny Dundee, theScotch Wop of New York, for a 12-round decision bout next Saturdayafternoon at Oriole Park, it succeed¬ed In closing a bout for which localfollowers of the ring gams have beenhoping several year® Desirs to seethese boys over a distance route hasbeen Increased several times by thefact that just when It looked as if theset-to might be arranged somethingbobbed up that resulted in he affairgoing by the board.No match staged here within the

last half dozen years has attractedas much attention from the jump asthis one. This is not only the casehere, but out or town as well. Allhands realise that these great bat¬tlers will put up a fight worth goingfar to see, snd that a decisive win¬ner between the two will mean greatadditional fame for the victor.For a number of years now Chaney

has shown himself to be the hardestpuncher in his class, and he has won50 per cent of his bouts by knockouts.As a matter of fact. George has lostonly four matches In his entire career,and they were all by knockouts. Thefact that any boy who went the limitwas unable to get a decision over himattests to the fact that the KayoBoss has considerably more sciencethan he is .credited with in manyplaces. Chaney's four defeats are allwell remembered here. Young Brlttstopped George when he was a mewyoungster, and George came rightback and sent Britt to dreamland ontwo occasions, putting an end toBritt's ring career. Tommy Houckstopped George after the Baltimoreboy had won all the way in 10 rounds,a chance blow turning tho trick.Chaney got revenge a short whileafter and put Houck out In less thanfive rounds. Mike Clancy stoppedGeorge with a fluke punch and noamount of effort was large enough toever induce Clancy to again get intothe ring with Chaney. Kllbane scoredthe other victory over the Baltimoret>oy.

that the American Athletic I.Hidetlop managers believed that the stat¬ing of the Dempsey-Futton lightwould cripple the fight which expeotsto stage here oa July C betweenGeorge Chaney and Johnny Duniti 1After much discussion theae manager*were made to see that Mg fight sched¬uled for Baltimore was somethingthat would probably never again haseen here, and that the psngii of thlecity would want to see It above anether fights.The American Association manager*

the importance of the contest andrightfully believe Baltimoreans areready to witness this fancy pugilisticdish. Likewise, they are of the opinionthat the Monumental Sporting Club, owhich they are tbe promoters, mightbe able to realise a nifty sum fromthe staging of the encounter. Theyhave gone about arranging the mill ina square end above-board manner, infact, they have shown s frankness, anintelligence and a sincerity uncommonwith those who have taken It untotbcmwelvee to monopolise boxing inthis city.In speaking of the affair tonight

Jung said: "We have done everythingreasonable in an effort to secureOriole Park. We have tbe oontractafor the fighters, which call #or apurse of S25.0W. ft has been said thatwe should make them work on a per¬centage basis. To do this I might aaythat we offered them as high as eev-enty per cent, and they refused.'We even demanded that $5,000 be cut

from the original puree of SS.000 In¬asmuch as the mill was tote cut fromtwenty rounds (the distanoe set whenit was thought the affair would takeplace in Danbury. Conn.) to fifteen. Tothia a deaf ear was also turned. Thenegotiations were conducted ss busi-ness-liks aa posible."
