News of the transaction which makes Willard the owner of his own circus reached this city yesterday in the form of a telegram from Holyoke, Mass, announcing that the heavy- weight champion had paid Arlington the sum of $105,000 for control of the show. Roy O, Archer, secretary attended to the details of the sale and the purchase included Archer, a life-long In the telegram it was stated that the show started operating under the management of Willard vester- and it is the ambition of the champion to own the finest tent show in this country. In the management of the show, Willard will be assisted by Melville B. Raymond, a local} showman, with offices in the Knick-| erbocker Building, and the details| of mapping out routes and railroad | schedules will be looked after by Ar- lington, the former owner, who has considerable experience in this line through his connection with other shows, Willard has been working the present circus almost contin- uously since he took the heavy- weight championship title away from Jack Johnson, in their memorable battle at Havana on April 5th, 1915. The only boxing contest he has taken part in since acquiring his champion- ship laurels was in this city, on the night of March 25th, 16516, when Willard boxed a ten-round, no decis- fon bout, with Frank Moran at Mad- ison Garden. Joining the Wild West show for the season of 1915, Willard toured the country with the outfit for the season and it was estimated with the sawdust gave him the sum of $102,000. This season Willard op- ened with the Arlington show on | played {pion and his band of Indians | cowboys appeared in Brooklyn, but April 11th, at Norfolk, Va., and has teadily since, At one part ason the heavyweight cham- and of the the show failed to draw up fo expec- tations, the reason being that ad- verse weather was encountered throughout the stay of .the show. Of late there have been reports to the effect that Carl Morris, the Okla- homa hegvyweight, had heen signed by the circus managemet to replace Willard, who was being let out on the allegation that he was no longer a drawing card. It was even de- cided that Morris was to join the show shortly one of the latter's reasons for undertaking the con- tract being to attempt to create a popular demand for a heavyweight championship bout with Willard. WORLD'S SERIES HERO NEVER TO PITCH AGAIN Physician Says "Smoky Joe" Wood Probably Perman- ently Disabled. As a result of hie come-back stunt against the New York Yankees, Smoky Joe Wood will probably nev- er pitch again , This was made known yesterday after he had been examined by Dr. Robert Drury of Columbus, O., who is here attending a convention, "The doctor may be right or wrong," said Wood, despairingly, to- day, "but one thing is certain, tha is, that I'm not going to take anm- other cent of salary from Jack Dunn till T can pitch again." Dr. Drury is the physician who treated Wood before he went South with the Cleveland team, which is] here now playing a series with the Senators. - "Wood," said Dr. Drury, "should never have pitched more than one or two innings, and those just for the sake of practice. He has strained his 'arm badly and probably perman- ently as the result of his trying tc earn his salary too early in the sea- son." Lee Fohl, as usual, has something to say, too. He declares Wood has been of great aid to him in develop- ing younger pitchers, and he'll go to tie front for him ,no matter what. That is Fohl's way of saying he'll keep Wood, even if Joe can't pitch at all, NO U.S. ATHLETES CLAIM EXEMPTION Prominent Figures in Various Lines of Sport Register for Service. The patriotism of the athletes of New York was further exemplified yesterday when it was officially stated that not a single boxer or athlete of prominence had claimed exemption from military service on June 6, when the nation enrolled the names of more than ten wrillion men between the ages of 21 and 31 under the conscription act passed by Congress. Other sections of the country have gone further in that numerous men whqse names are well known in the sport.ng world _have already donned Uncle Sam's uniform to fight beside their Canadian brethren in France. Among the best known of the box- ers is Jack Dillon, the great middle- weight fighter, who has enlisted in the navy. Henry Leonard has de- cided-to enlist for naval serviee, too. Among the famous athletes who are now in the same service .s J. E Malcolmson of Seattle, 'national hurdling champion in 1909. He is a dector in the naval reserve. After fulilling his athletic ambitions he studied medicine and surgery and #plisted a few weeks ago to do his bt inethe war. Packey McFarland hag registered, with no claim for exemption, and many other men of equal prominence are ready to do their bit.* The action of Willard, in buving the show, bag and baggage, however, | discounts all the reports that have! been sent out about Morris joining the troupe. Alexander Some Hitter. Grover Alexander, Philly pitcher, is batting a remarkable clip for a pitcher anyway. He is hitting the ball often and hitting it far. His performance lately would be accep- table to any of our best known wal- lopers, On May 23rd he started his streak against the Reds. He made three hits, one a home run. May 30th, against Schupp, he made one hit, that .a two-bagger, and on June 2nd, his next appearance, he larrup- ed a two-bagger. He made two trip- | les on June 6th in Chicago. Run- ning around the bases doesn't seem to have bothered him for he white- washed the Cubs. 5 Praise For the C.R.A.

Eddie Collins, star second base- man of the Chicago White Sox, and "Chick" Gandil, first baseman of the same club, have called upon Man- ager Rowland to learn what their status would be 'if they decided to quit the 'game and don the army uniform. Both men expressed the keenest eagerness to go to the front, but neither wishes to cripple the Comiskey aggregation now that their prospects for a pennant look so bright. Rowland in a talk with Col- lins pointed to the fact that every member of the team had waived ex- emption, and that Comiskey and belief that every man on the White Sox payroll should be free to do his duty to his country. It was pointed out, however, that the military au- thorities believe that for the present the star ball player is more valuable as a ball player than he would be as a soldier ,inasmuch as the desire of the Government to keep baseball and all other sports alive. It was also stated that at the end of the present baseball season every eligible man on the White Sox team would be They Are Dropping Thousands port | BAD WEATHER HURTING THE MAJOR LEAGUES Owing to Forced Postponements -- The clubs of the major leagues have lost approximately $200,000 as a result of the unseasonable weath- er this spring. And daily as long as the period of cold and rain con- tinues, baseball's losses are mount- ing at the rate of tens of thousands. , It is not extraordinary for baseball to suffer on account of bad weather in the spring, but never in the his- tory of the sport has it been sub- Jected to such uncouth treatment as the weather man has dealt this year. John K. Tener, president of the Na. tional League, estimates that his league has lost a similar amount, and it is money the clubs cannot re- cover, i "Never before has baseball suffer-| ed from such a prolonged period of | unseasonable weather, as has pre- vailéd this spring," declared the! president of the National League. "We have had to contend with some | bad weather in the spring in pre-| vious years, but never have we had | as much as this season . Not only] have we been sorely harassed by | rain, but cold weather also has cost | us thousands of dollars. "It is apparent that the war situ-| ation has not affected attendance at| baseball. games, for whenever the! weather is clear, the fans come out | in lafge numbers . On two occasions! the Giants have played to crowds of about 30,000 persons." The weather man perhaps has! treated the Giants more shabbily| than the other clubs. Cold and rain! cost the club thousands of dollars during the series with the Cardinals | and the Cubs, both of which teams | under better weather conditions! would have drawn big audiences. | Rain also spoiled the first double- | headers of the local season scheduled | between the Giants and Phillies, | each of which would have attracted many thousands of fans, And the other clubs in the major | leagues have suffered to a similar de- | gree. The Cardinals and Cubs anc Reds during the early games in the west lost thousands of dollars only to run flush into another stretch of Soggy weather when they came east. All of the western clubs expected to recover the early losses from the games with the eastern teams, but instead have gone deeper into the hole. | i -- | i LIKELY YOUNGSTERS Have Recently Been Sold By J. E. Madden. ~ John E. Madden, New York, who breeds more thoroughbred horses dor the market than any other turf- man ,is busy disposing of the two- year-olds that he has raised for this season. One of the best in his barn was sold yesterday to Samuel D. Rid- dle, who races under the staifle name of Glen Riddle Farm. Mr. Riddle purchased Bully Boy, by Ogden-- Yankee's Sister, which, though it has not raced, has shown great speed in his trials, Another youngster sold Was Smoky Lad, which went to Walter M. Jeffords. Further sales are expected in the near future, as Tim Sullivan who brought Les Darcy to this country, has applied for a trainer's license and is contemplat- in buying of the Madden younsters, \ Crippled Hurler Pitches Well. Blind in one eye, William For- sythe, a 19-year-old pitcher of Fre- mont, Ohio, is trying to make his way to baseball fame despite this in- firmity and a crippled pitching hand like the famous "Miner" Brown. i Forsythe lost the thumb of his | right hand several years ago, but a| stump-like portion allows him to get | a firm grip on the ball. He has a choice assortment of curves and pitches with great speed and con- trol. He recently fanned 35 men in two games, holding his opponents to three hits in the first contest. | ready to report fit for army service. 3 a 3 3 3 [2 We | Live But Once Let Us Partake of Earth's Good Things by Smoking.
