Latrst Eruption in Boxinar World

mut be explained that the Soldier hold
o i'ov.i'nfer decll.n over Bllkef.
The bout la scheduled to tike piece
tbc early port of next month, and the
V)irm la raid to be IfJ.fcOn. to be. apllt
?l7.io0 for rarkey and $16.0n0 for Mike.
Jfow doea that sound to you, gentle
render?
To be fratik. It doean't appeal to "
lit nil Reaaon No. 1 and aufflclent.
ln key hu not ensared In a ring" battle
Ftiice he outboxed Kid Alberta up at
lYetrrbtiry, Conn., In ten round bark
In. 1312, November BO, to be exact.
We hanten to correct that statement
Tnckey had one flg-ht after that. About
year aeo. some alx employes In hli
f nt her-ln-law'a brewery became fractious
d PaltSck outfolueht tha bunch of
them. Again w are wrona-. Even after
'that Parkey had a fl-bt. But It was a
.onc-tldM affair and ended after an ar
dent suffragist had slapped Paekefa
.face and tweaked hla nose. Gentleman
'that he in, MnFarland did not retaliate.
That, wo will any. was all the training
I Packer has had up to the time the match
jwtts Gibbons was clinched. The etlnu
Mated weight Is to ba 147 pounds ringside,
land both win have to do some tall hue tile-
to attain that notch.,
, When Gibbon started work for the mill
jh tipped the. beam at 16 pounds, his
Ihllfhest weight In years. Only foodnes
i knows hew much Packey scales at the
X present pviment. However, he la aald
to have tT.509 up aa t weight forfeit, an 1
jlVekey would surely hate to lose that
tidy little fum, although he has something
liV lioo.floc In ca-h.j on hla wn account.
Tha beet thing; we ran say about the
' ' match la that it alll be a fine place to
-'spend the evening; as tha arena will be
J ritual ed near tha ocean. If they oren
, should get together, Mike should exper-,
lence little difficulty In making a show
of Packey, regard! of the fact that
Packey has been acclaimed the flashiest
boxer that ever drew on a glove. That
was years o. Packey has been out of
the ring so long, that It will take him
more than ten rounds to gauge his dis
tance as of yore. And aa the bout is
limited U ten rounds, Packey will prob
ably be too exhauKted to do hla best work
In the cionlnii round.
Too Meek Maaey.
As to tfw ptarse of J.H.SOO, we very muoh
doubt It, for it is unlikely that the bout
will draw more than halt that sum. No
championship ie at staks, and tha out
come will have little bearing on either
the welterweight or middleweight situ
ation, and the weight Is an Intermediate
nne. It will just be settling a question
tf Individual sujn-emar-y, and Gibbons has
the call a he has been active in ring
matters while Packey haa been content
to read about ring affair.
A t.lbsoa Joke. r
Hilly Gibson, owner of the Fairmont
Athletic club, Is responsible for tha fol
lowing: A novice was appearing at Billy's olub
the other Light in a ten-round bout. It
wss hi ftnt fight and he collided with
an experienced rival. The nearoomer wu
I t inc severely trounced, but did not have
Common, senx- to call a truce. He was
floored t loaat onoe In oaoh round up to
tho seventh, when Gibson rushed down,
the ail6 and shouted at tit ladl
"Hey, kid, haven't you had enoUrtT"
The "I. id" peered at Gibson through, a
1 an- of puffed eyes, and blur bod:
' Why didn't you ask me that six rounds
ago."

A base ball scout sat In' the grandstand.
He was watching a certain player.
The certain player could hit, field, run,

Br FRtHK O. ME14KK.
NEW TORK, Aug. 21. Some of our
very., best little experts attribute the
closeness of tha National league race to
tha twenty-one player rule. This radical
move in the old league haemade the
teams more evenly balanced then In
other years because It has prevented- tha
wealthier clubs from getting a big edge
1 n the poorer one by purchasing a swarm
of valuable reserves. .
Chsrtey Ebbets. owner of the Dodgers,
fathered tha twenty-one player rule.
When he proposed It last winter he met
considerable opposition, but he pointed
out Its good qualities and finally was
able to put It through.
Stars Scarce la Mlaors.
Joe Kelly, chief of the Yankee scouts,
has just returned from a two month'
ojourn In the bushes and begs to report
that classy players In tha, minora are
scarcer this year than free Russian In
Germany.
. "And the worst of H.;clalmi Josephus,
"is that the minor, league ownsrs now
arc demanding more for mediocre players
than they used to aak for real iters.
Not so long ago one could get a real ball
player In the bushe for 12,000 or- $3,000.
Now the minor league owners want that
Surd for a' mediocre plsyer and about
110.009 -for a player who looks anything
ljke a real maor leag-ua prospect. .
,' ., . Fate I'nklod to Howell.
I Harry Howell's ambition to become a
srand opera star seems to have Jinked
blm.- .
i Howell was a pitcher with many year
of major league tisefullnesa before hlrn
when someone told him that If ha had
hla voice trained - he could out-warble
Caruso. Howell believe It and quit
pitching. That where misfortune begsn.
He waited several year before he
learned that Caruao was a better finger
than he was. It .was too late then for
Howell to resume pitching he was too
old and his arm was put of shape. So he
became a scout for the Browns and
soon lost his Job.
Howell then became an umpire in the
American league. He. umpired that game
in St Louis In 1910 when Larry LaJole
got almoat enough hits to tie Ty Cobb
for the leadership of the league. A near
scandal resulted and Howell lost , hla
Job, serving as the "goat'' for that oc
casion. ' . -
Howell the) took to nmptrlng in the
Texas league and got along very well
until one day be umpired a game In a
way that didn't, suit the v Waco club,
whereupon Howell was flreaV
He remained Jobless until the Feds
came Into being. Then he got a job of
ficiating. He lingered until Flel4er Jonea
raised a howl of such sice It would have
drowned the roar of a forty-two centi
meter gun. Prexy GUmore, of course,
heard tha bowl and now Howell Is Job
less onca again. ' ' .
Beavder Shootlasr the Cktatea.
Chief Bender Is slipping. Once the
most feared and most marvelous pitcher
in base ball now oply an uncertainty on
tha mound. That' Bender and there is
real pathos In his decline.
Bender battled for nearly thirteen
years under tha Mackean standard and
rarely during all those years was he
ever driven from the mound. Oftentimes
he was Uenten bLt rarely wss he forced
from the box by a futltlafle of btt.
But now all la changed. Bender, work
ing for the Baltimore Kel, takes the
"long walk'' oftn. The old speed ha
gone from the once mlsrhty rtrht arm;
the curves no longer deceive. Bender hes
been batted from the box almost as
many times this year aa he was In all
bis years in the American league.
And no man feels the tragedy of the
fall of the one-time mighty Indian wore
keenly that does the chief himself.
Infielders Cut
Down the Hits, Says
Great T. Eaymond
NEW TORK. Aug. II. Let tha 'root
ers' say what they will," remarked "Ty"
Cobb recently, "tha major league Infields
are getting better every year, and the
day Is coming when It will be mighty
bard for any batter to finish tha sea
son with- .300. The pitchers, too, are Im
proving, but they are not quite keeping
pace ' with the Infielders.
"Today practically every teant haa at
least two first-class twtrlers, and I bava
learned that they pitch their 'heads off
to set me down without a safety when
ever I face them. StlH, 1 am hoping to
finish tha 19U season with as good as
.400. That should lead tha American
league, but If at any time I find that
some one also U likely to pas ma for
flrat honors I will have to crowd on
more steam and do even better than
that.". ,
, For the peace of mind and continued
good health of th pitchers in the John
son organisation It la to be hoped that
no one will try to top "Ty" and force
htm to hit harder and mora often that
he haa been doing to date.
