waa somewhat lost In that community,
for tha 1000 residents, til were Dutch ex
cept two, an Irish saloonkeeper and hla
later, and Hughie Jennings, having con
siderable Irish blood coursing' through his
system, waa a welcome addition to this
very email Irish colony.
In tha month of June, a certain base
ball fan, in fact, he was a dlreqtor of

state league, sent a tip to Jack Chap
man of th Louiavlll club of the Ameri
can aatoclatlon concerning this young
catcher, stating that If h would Sign
him, la less! than a month he would prove
the equal of tha best player Chapman
had on his lineup. Th wis Chapman
must have had faith In this unknown
fan, for he promptly sent 4100 to young
Jennings with order to report at one.
Hughie thought it must be a Joke, but
on examining th coin he found it real
money and he mad up hi mind to go.
To make a Jump from a Job like the.
one he had to a big league berth was
appalling, and Hughie felt aure he would
be a failure. However, be bad the 1100

would give him a chance to work it out,
which meant, in thoae day , a two weeks'
trial, for Hughlo declare that he would

not thla money been sent. 1 '
H. Jennings' dava aa a catcher ended
th moment he donned a Loulrvlllo uni

the deal and felt that he must have th
youngster earn it It possible, and Hughie

NEW YORK GETTING COCKY
Pug Experts Expect Coffey or Reich.
Gothamites, to Trim Up
Champ Willard.
WHITE HOPE TERM IS PASSE
NEW YORK, May 8-"Whlte hopes
are no longer known by that dubious
term, but have become "challengers for
the title." During Jack Johnson's regime
boxing followers had little sympathy to
waste on the vnrious budding hopes. The
demand for Johnson's elimination was so
great that each candidate for titular hon
or waa quickly turned down after his
first defeat
Thereafter hr. wa made the butt of
Jokestere, who never stopped to think
that it take year of practice to turn
out a perfect fighting machine. How
ever, in the future, there will be no rea
son for allowing Impatience with the rls
Inz crop of rlngsters, from whom the next
champion Is to come.
This new point of view regarding th
heavyweight clues has become Wlllard's
victory at Havana. One Instance of it
Is the general Interest now belrr shown
In Jim Coffey and Al Reich. It la as
sumed that Wlllard's title will eventually
fall to one of the two New Tbrkers, al
though the time of the transfer may be
dlstsnt.
Coffey n particular Is expected to de
velop into a flghttne; man of the first
class. This big Trlsh youlh has many
strong points while his faults are few
and of no great importance. Coffey may
never become aa great a ring general ns
Fllisimmons, Choynskl and McCoy, but
those men learned to flsht when twenty
round battles were the thing. 'But today
conditions ure . changed. To box ten
founds requires less head work and natur
ally the preaent set of rlgamen lack
something of the polish that distinguished
the old line of heavies.
Coffey, like the rest of th present set,
depends altogether too much on) chance.
He has not learned to feint hi opponent
Into leaving th desired opening and at
the same time keep In position to take
full advantage. It was the ability to do
thla that made such quick finishers as
Fitxslmmona and Gans famous. These
men planned for the knockout blow long
before trey were ready to deliver it, and
when thev were ready their scheme went
through 1ko a well rehearsed stage set
Thev left nothing to chsnee.
If Coffey ever loams to fight with some
vital spot, he may beome ns proficient I
a any of the old time ling heroes.
' PhyHlrnlly he la a mntch for any man In i
?lnv today, with the exception of
Willard
Unlike his rival, Al. Retch, he puts a lot
of force behind his atrsiaht lefts, si-
though he shares with IMech the mis-
take of leading before he has trapped Ills
opponent into stepping Into the blow.
For the rest. Coffey haa a nimble pair
of leas, a good eye for distance, plentv of
speed, and he recuperates rapidly from
fatigue and also when dased by a blow,
