S.-Urry Pollok. tha fashion pint of flH managers, hae taken to heroic meaauree to re-establlah th fast waning; prrsttR of hla protege, Freddie Welh. To be sure, Frederick la the, lightweight champion of this uni verse; and aa auch he aliould command the reRpect of the fUht-lovlna; commun ity. But Freddie Welah la merely Freddie Welsh, and aa lona; aa he "fluhta-' along the well known Welsh style which la no styla to apeak of ha will never be popu lar, even If ha ciings to hla title ten yeara more. If Welsh U to be taken at hla word, he U tired of the ring; came and wouldn't Wind retiring even at thla writing. All ef which Is very well for Freddie. But how about Harold relink T It la not auch an easy matter to be the manager of a world'a champion these perlloua tlmea; and Pnllok would find It quite an Irk ome taak to dig up another abla pro vider like Welah. Money is the only thing that 1 keeping Welsh In the ring. And Pollok must make Welah ace money at all tlmea; otherwise Freddie might get a foolish notion and just drift out of the game. 3 1 err Harold la almost at hla wlta' end trying to devise arhemea to keep welsh Interested In boxing. The aforementioned end nearly came a few days ago and Marry successfully averted Impending dltr In thla manner: It seems that Domlnlck Tortorlch had arranged a bout between Johnny Inindo and Joe Mundot for New Orleana. Pol lok linmidlatly got busy and wrote Domlnlck a tcrae note outlining a Utile scheme to get aome publicity both for tha Dundee-Mandot scrap and for Welah. Ralaea th Offer. Upon receipt of thla missive, Tortorlch wired the New Tork papers that ha had offered Welah a guarantee of 110,000 to fight the winner of the Dundea-Mandot mill, and that the champion had ac cepted. AH very well and good. A day later, however, another yam emanated from Tortorlch'a publicity department that he had rained that offer, and had guaranteed Welsh $1.1.000 and 500 .for training expenaea to take on tha winner. Naturally Welah alao accepted thla offer. Now what In common senae would have Induced Tortorlch to Increase the original offer which was not a legitimate ene in tha first place If Welah had already ac cepted ths $10,000 offer? There aeema to have hern some lack of co-ordination in the plot, and the publlo refused to be fooled by such underhand tactics. Next time It would be advisable for Pollok to write Domlnlck to stick to one price. Tortorlch'a dispatch alao contained tha information that Welah would fight for him on March 4. It was stated that ths bout would be over ths twenty-round trail and that Welsh's championship would be at stake. Dear readers, lust wait until March 4 and ae if Mr. Welah fights for that title.

Not a chronic one, mind you, nor ons that Is of permanent nature, but It's a grouch nevertheless. "I tee by the papers," asserts Josrphus, "that I am regarded by large quantttlea of persons as the 'luckiest man In base ball.' Mebbs so and mebbe otherwise. I'm a lucky guy, I'll admit, but when the base ball jury la deliberating my case why doesn't it credit me with having a bit of base ball Judgment and a bit of financial wisdom? Why not? "In a way, it was a streak of luck that I quit Organised Bhse Ball, Jumped to tha Feda at a record aalary and then two yeara later re-entered Organised Baas Ball at the name record aalary and with the honor of being ths manager of ths Cuba But was that all lurk? flake Ksplalaa.

I Investi gated It from every angle, the same way that any man investigates any security In which he is going to Invest. I found that Weeghman, In addition to being one of the finest sportsmen In tha country. was a man whose word wsa as good as his bond. "And so, when I Jumped to the Feds and worked under Charlie Weeghman, I knew I couldn't lose. And I haven't lost Borne folks claim that's all luck.

Langford's recent feat Is really the most remarkable of his long career. A tew ti ago local fistic fans saw Wills out box the Boaton terror In every round and when a short time later he repeated at New Orleans, Longford's pugilistic obituary waa written ai&ln. This time It seemed that he really had met more than his match, for Wills Is young and strong and in tha full tide of his career. Predicted gam's Downfall.

The nineteenth hole m the most Important. It Is at this hole that all championship matches are played. Members of the W. C. T.

Sane Individuals ordinarily sniff disdain fully and make heroic efforts to suppress a titter when golf Is mentioned.
