Judgments
k0aiCH0W this talk about
Kansas City men buying and
transferring the SloUx City
franchise and team to the
Kaw doesn't listen any too
good to Us, yet. of course. It
may- be bohaflde. Hut Kansas City haa
two league teams now, albeit ono Is at
present an outlaw, yat as tho Kansas
City Star recently observed, "is tho Fed
eral league teams play good ball, the
fans will be the first to find It out,"
Which leads to another thought. Sioux
Clty'o troubles came after tho team fell
into a low rank. Perhaps If It climbs
back to a top position, Its troubles may
cease, yet all teams can't be leaders.
Omaha has been enjoying none too
great prosperity in the matter of crowds
this year, yet Omaha Is and has always
been rated, a good ball town. Des Moines,
under tho reclme of Unole Jawn Ulgglns,
went to pieces, oven so badly, you may
recall, that the team oeased ploying at
homo for a while, transferrin games
scheduled f6r home to other towns. Then
Illgglns sold out to lsbe'll and Isbell
put' a ball team Into the city and the
city Since has been supporting It. As we
say, every team cannot be a leader. It
Is ono q the Inscrutable fortunes of base
bull that some must bring up the roar,
out bringing up the rear will in time,
pall on the most patient fans. Omaha
fans went along fairly well- behind a s$.
pnd division team for a year or so, but
tho process In time becomos tedious aqd
unpleasant. The very day that Rourke.
adds sufficient pitching 'strength to his
team to make It ,a contender not neces
sarily a pennant-winner that day his
troubles am apt to vanish. Local fan
feci, 'In 'Spile o'fVU'the pleasant promises
yoii can make thorn, that the time has
come for a mora- consistently winning
team and yoii can't blame them.
Young Mr. Hennessy haa tho name, tho
size and all that, but he's woefully shy
on. the nack of hitting 'em out. His
fielding Is clean and fast, but he hat
shown no 'speed oh' the bases and' no
strength at the bat. Thus far Skipper Bill
seems to be In no danger of los.n? hi, ,
job to Mr. Hennessy, Mr. Hennessy
cvilne to us via Detroit and a few other
tank towns. Mr. Dale Gear, the vener
able and highly esteemed manager of
the Topeka club, dropped the remark
ithllo on his lost visit to our city that an
attempt was made to wish Mr.' Hennessy
onto him, but, he declined . with thanks,
whereupon Pa fell for It. At that, 't is
not too late In tho life of Mr. Hennessy
for him to develop Into a great ball
flayer..
So far as our new manager, Charley
Babb, Is concerned, ho' Is probably all
right. Ho, is a veteran with big league
ex'pcrlonce, and If a manager can make
n winning team without an effective
pitching staff, Charley probably can do
as' well as any. But, as we've eald. be
fore, Itonrke's problem la not one of a
manager, as the bonfflcn receipts would
soon show the minute Itourke br&Ced up
on his pitchers, Wo hope his last two
additions, BttfVens and Brennan, vlndl
cate his Judgment Pn. of course, real
izes th situation.
The week saw tho passage at last of
bid Ed Reulbach from the Cu,bs. with
which he has been a mainstay since 190(5,
and also the repasscre of Orvle Overall,
who ' failed to' m'akA good" as a come

represent the old Cubs on th team that
Vrank Chanc made Invincible.
Clotman is showing great form. Ho

CHANGE EVERY TEH YEARS

Tried to Rmainte.
N1BW YORK, Aug. B.About Very ten
years there Is' an entire change In the
popular styles of boxing.
Fifty-three years ago. In 1S0O, Tom Bay
ers of England and Hoonan of America
fought for the world's heavyweight cham
pionship In England. It was a battle be
tween a very clever English boxer of the
old school and a younger, stronger, bet
ter conditioned American with less
science. When Bayers was being beaten
the crowd rushed Into the ring and pulled
town the ropes, so that tho rerereo was
compelled to call the bout a drw. Two
world's ohamplonshlp belts were made
and one Was presented to the English
champion, who announced his retirement
from the ring. Heenan should have had
tho other, but, he never gpt It, for the
donor had neglected to pay for it and the
sheriff Belted the belt at the Instance ot
the maker.
That flcht emphasised the Importanco
of slxn and strength, and for a number ot
years men of groat height and weight
were considered the onty proper candi
dates for heavyweight honors.

Curiously enough, the suiuvan periuu
came to an end In ten years, for In 183J
Sullivan met Jim Corbett
Corbett Wn Speedy.

straight and was a skilful and speedy
boxer. He was not as aggressive

whon in tho twenty-first round he stood
and rained blows upon the tottering
champion until Sullivan slowly sank to
the ground In defeat.
Now the whole boxing world went maa
over Corbett's style ot fighting. It had
eemed Impossible that a mere boxer
could defeat the slugging Sullivan. All
boxers tried to be Corbetts. Clever,
straight standing boxing, careful defense
and deliberate work on tho offense was
the correct thing.
Five years later, In 1WT, Bob Flttslm
mons knocked Corbett out at Carson City,
This didn't entlroly chango the popular
style of boxing, for Fltzslmmons, a for
mer pupil of Jem Mace, also stood
straight and boxed cloverly. But Fits
Simmons specialized In delivering the
knockout punch very quickly when he
had the chance. Other boxers tried to
master his Inlmltlble "shift" and cm
ployed the Fltssltnmons' hook and solar
plexus punch. The period of changing
style this time came In seven years in
stead of ten, for in 1859 Jim Jeffries
knocked out Fitsslmmons.
Jeffries was a wonderfully strong man
the quickest and strongest big man the
ring had seen In many years. When
matched against Fitsslmmons, Jeffries
was coached to use a crouching position
that would protect his body from th
solar plexus punch. His body was bent
over and his great left arm stuck out
like the ram of a battleship. That style
was all right for Jeffries, but there was
only one Jeffries. No' other man living
was strong enough to fight In that posi
tion. Still, the others tried it, and for
years the "Jeffries crouch" was the cor
rect thing In pugilism. Tho result of all
this was the development ot what En
glish boxers refer to as the "American
style," a half crouch und a headlong rush
with both arms flailing away for general
results. Terry McOovera fought in this
half crouch, and his hooks were deadly.
As a rule, an through the various prlodi
the smaller men followed the example of
tha great heavyweights.
