BAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Kept. SO. Weighed tn the balance anil fotlrnl want ing. Eueh appears to bo the verdict In the case of Bob McAllister, the crack boxer or the Olympic club, who entered the professional ranks with such a fan fare of trumpets and for whom such a glorious future as a ring man waa pre dicted. Since McAllister made his professional deb'.., many months ago, ho has figured In five contests. And the lesson o'f each and every one of them Is that Dob Is not the proprloior of a serviceable punch. After each of his bouts Dob promised reformation. Itcports from h'.a training camp had him paying especial attention to the development of a blow that would hurt and for that matter, the manner In which he handled his sparring partner from time to time flattered the hope that he was making trains In tho desired dl lettlon. But whenever tho crucial test camo poor Dob laddlnd out raps and taps In tho same fluffy manner. As an old tlmer remarked, "Thero wasn't a head ucbe In a ton of them." Klmplr Cnnnot Hit. It tools Dob's two contests with Sailor Pctroskey to make evident that he Is hy of smiting force: In the first, ac cording to what some people call a con servative tstlraate, he struck three blows to the bluejacket's one. But he scarcely mussed Petroskoy's blond thatch. The other bout took place on the afternoon of September 8, and It was the rarno thing '"over and over" again. While still as fresh as paint" McAllister bent for wnrd and backward with the rhythm of ft rocking chair. He pecked and cuffed Petroskoy at wl.l. In the opening round the poor seaman's face must have been pushed ailde a hundred times by straight left and right jolts, yet when Petroskey walked to his comer the only thine that dttflgerod his mug waa a grlil. As It waa In the first round, it waa In cvary succeeding round of tho twenty, until at last, tho most rabid McAllister bolster at the ringside wrung from him self tho admission that McAllister could nofjab hard enough to cripple a house fly It b no use," said moro than, one club man. "Ho has not got the punch." JVo Future for Htm. In a way It's a piece of hard luck, for McAllister has one of the things that enter into th composition of a world heater. He Is a clever man, ono of the beet men turned out by tho Olympic club, and that' saying a good deal, Ho Is, In addition, gamo through and throush, and h recuperates quickly, Hut with tht Knockdown blow missing from hli list e assets, It can hardly be nald that thera is much of a vIkU for him puglllatkalty, o and that Is about tho way his frleM aw o thinning to feci In regard to him. McAllister say 1 to gets te tMt a " ions- rest from rlnc actlvltips. It way be. If r Jce his wort, hi will develop into a heavyweight an might ciuJr a punch after a while. In tho meantime It i U a matter or lament amone nis ciuo cronlesjthat with all hi otner quantum 'Bob to short of one thin so essential. nnu a lift AwjHj and Petroskey' "measure beat and blow," the write took occasion to liken the? recent unpleasantnosa to a duel be tween a onaro-drum and a bassttun.

FRED MEUKXE. FBED SNODGRASS. NEW .YORK, Sept. 20.-Now that it Is a certainty that the Giants will represent tho National leaguo in tho coming World's series, the fans aro wondering If McOraw's men are. .going to repeat their heart breaking performances of last year by crumpling up at ever critical period of, the play. This uncertainty to doubtless one of the things which make the national "pesMlme" tho absorbing thing that It to. The two men in the Giant's camp who had to bear the onus of. responsibility for last year's upset are Fred Merkle, first baseman, and Prtd 6nodgrass, ono of the best outfield, era in the game. It wilt be remembered that the latter muffed a fly ball during one Of the games In Boston, which let th tho deciding runs for the Bed Sox. In an other game, Merkle failed to go after a pop foul by Speaker. This lapse cost the Giants the game. The fact that those samo men pulled plays of Incredible bril liancy on other occasions during the series did not help tho result in the least That these errors were the effect of nervousness and anxiety to win to ob vlous, but Merkle and Snodgrass are both seasoned veterans 'now and, should bo able to hold themselves under con trol In even the moat trying situations. But as long as base ball to played there will be some who will shine beyond their Wonted splendor In world's series, and there will be others who. will play far below their normal standard.
