meeting of the major baseball leagues
here this afternoon it was decided that
no club of either league should be
permitted to trade or buy players

ished in many parks, he said, particu
larly in Boston, where investigators
had found more open gambling in the
Braves' field, the Nationals’ grounds,
than in any other. He asked Commis
sioner Landis and alt 'elnh owners to
join him in warring on the gamblers. I

Mind about the
retirement stuff,
lie's going to mix j

on Christmas Day
with Bobby Bar
sett "as a sort of
warm up for a re
turn battl^vith Walker.
Jack is reported as feeling su
premely confident that he gets an
other whack at WalkerHie oun beat
Mickey into defeat.
The world Is considerably peopled
with a citizenry just now which ever
will believe that Britton could have
whipped Walker in every round of
the 15 which constituted their last 1
"fight"—if Jack only had cared or
been able to make thu effort.
No one who knows Britton, the ring
man, and likewise knows the ability
of Walker, ever will believe that Jack
was fighting to his absolute - limit.
There'll always be the thought that if
Britton wasn't sick that night in New
York he was under a "heavy pull” as
they say In racing circles.
And while those folks Incline toward
such a conclusion there are others
who usk—and ask again—and yet
again:
“Who is it that hot a reported $60,
000 on Walker to defeat Britton that
night: who was it that made such a
terrific gambling plunge on a novice
to heat a world's champion?”
The mitt game is loaded up with

What’s Happened to Bag Punchers?
it it it it
Few Boxers of Today Use the Bag
By AI>* SPINK.
L’NNY there are
no hag-punching
exhibitions on tlie
Htagre today l life
there used to be.
Time was when
Corbett, Fitzsim
mons and the best
men of the boxing
gams used to give
exhibitions of hit
ting the bag.
• Fltz was great
at it.
Kid McCoy, too,
could hit the bag
with either hand,
ami for a man of his sizo had a won- j
derful punch.
It was rote McCoy, a handsome 1
young fellow, who traveled with John
I,. Sullivan when the latter was at
the top, who invented the punching
bag. j
It was while McCoy and the others
were training Sullivan in Mississippi
for its first fight tyth Ryan that the
insp ration carte to him to Invent it.
Invented Punching Rag.
It was while McCoy, Madden and
I Mike Gillespie were out on the field
kicking a football hack and forth that
the idea suddenly occurred to Mc
Coy that a football suspended from a
ceiling would be a splendid idea, and
from that moment the punching be
came an adjunct' of every fighter In
training.
Gradually the fighters became pro
ficient in the art of hitting It
They did all sorts of funny stunts,
and while it must be conceded that
it "made them fast,’ ’at the same time
it beyond a doubt forced them to, lose
their real punch.
True, the old English style of fight
| ing was "hit and get away.” But, at
, the same time when they hit there
jwas something behind it, They made
the blow count. In those days, too,
championships were always fought to
a finish and with bare knuckles.
Have Hard Domes.
What would pome of our present-'
day lighters do if "given the head?"
By that is meant the old style
when a fighter always attempted to
force an opponent to hit him on the
head and break or injure his hands.
This, of course, was possible with
bare hands. With the big eight
ounce gloves of today, however, it
might not lie so effective.
At the same time we have no fight
ers. or very few, that w'ould be able
to successfully do the trick.
Take ail our hard-punching fight
ers. such as Dempsey, Gibbons, Wil
lard. Johnson. Moran, Gibbons, Mc
Farland and .1 few like them.
While thov occasionally punch tfio
bag. they do not spend the hours at
it that Corbett, Fitzsimmons and
others used to. ^
Hag I’uiii'liing Lost Alt.
In fact, the punching bag has be
come a lost art to what it was only
a. year or two ago. Then it was so
well thought of that many boxers
made it a. business and "champion
bag puncher#" had a place on nearly
every vaudeville program.
Corbett and Fitz punched the bag
so artistically that they made a big
hit when they appeared in that sort
of a stunt. Fitz. it used to be said,
| could hit the bag a harder punch
j than any other pugilist. He general
j ly started with light, taps and then
wound up w ith a> blow that would
I break the small rope to which the
i bag was attached and send it flying
out Into the audience.
But there is never any bag punch
ing on the stage nowadays, which
leads to t lie inquiry:
"What his heroine of the old army
j of champion bag punchers?"
I
(pries and Hie like. Hut there's none
more complex that that which has
to do with the -lack Britton-Mlckcy
Walker fight—or was it just an ex
hibition?
It'll be rather Interesting to watch
what will happen to Walker when he
is finally turned loose against some
body worth while in his own division.
Walker on Stage.
Just when that will bo nobody
knows. For "alkcr has been troop
ing around with a theatrical outfit and
seems to love the glare of the foot- !
lights so much that he’s loathe to go :
back to his earlier business of fight
ing.
Walker was something of an in
and-outer—mostly outer—before he
became champ. Dare Shade,
(itorgfa Ward, and a few others
used to punch him with vim and
gusto. Others less starry did the
same thing. And all of them think
they ran do it again.
Mickey hasn't any outstanding vir
tue as a champion. He hasn’t a defi
nite knockout kick in either hand.
He's fast—but no whirlwind, He can
box—but there are a dozen men in his
ow n division who are as scientific_if
not more so. Being young, he can
stand up well under punching. But
there are a. lot of men in the game
who can take it much better lhan
Walker.
It s possible, of course, that Walk
er might hare developed suddenly
before lie met Britton—and that be
caught Die veteran on one side of
the latter's off nights—or when
-lack was in no real fighting condi
tion. due to a concealed illness.
All of which would make Walker
stack up us a better champion than
the chilled figures now prove.
But there's a suspicion—and always
wiU be one, unless' Mickey proves
greatness in his debut as a champion,
that his triumph over Brlttton either
; was a gift or an accident.
