NEW TORK, grt, 4 The m-IMmposed
American Boxing association, which lias
Undertaken to control and regulate the
ring pport tn thin! country, may yet live
to ra the frolUtlr.fi of it seed. If this
organisation Is taken seriously, and in
generally recognised a the gtivernln
body nf boxing In these United Rates,
then only will good mult. Otherwise,
(allure and deterioration of th mitt
fame, la inevitable.
Already 'a board of governor has been
chosen, and a number cf rule hava been
recommended for It to put Its official
tamp of approval on. Foremost and
tnot Important of tha contemplated rule
Is one that would make It compulsory
tor a champion to defend his title at
least once every six months. Should
this measure ba adopted It would work a
hardship on soma of tha title holders, !
who are averse to dlsplaym their wares
In the ring, preferring to exhibit them
on soma stage, where their laurels are
not In jeopardy. '
Another x important measure that Is
proposed la the establishment of a stand
aid scale of weight for the various
dlvMona. The new set places the fly
weight at 112 pound; bantamweight limit
at IIS pounds; featherweight, 125; light
weight, 13S; welterweight, 17; middle
weight. ICO, end ISiht heavyweight, ITS.
Ttr Is no limit to tb heavyweight

e would be doing well to lose five or ten
thousand dollars. He then would be ln
a position to offer In Willard a slupen-
where Fohl supposed he wanted
to go. And Fohl gave permission.
But Escbon bad meant Cleve
landand back to Cleveland he
went. When he arrived there the
club official were a bit surprised.
"What are you . doing here?"
asked.
"Fohl slid it was all right for ma to
come," answered Eschon.
The officials ansumed that because
Fohl had sent back Eschon, It meant ha
didn't need him. An outfielder wss needed
by the Cleveland American association
club and Eschon, was nont to tt't .cbib.
"Where's Kschon7". asked Fohl, when
he got back to Cleveland.
When he was told that Eschon had been
sent to the minora he was a bit peeved,
but because he had several extra out
fielders he decided to let Eechon stay
where ho was.

"HI a- mil" James Hlakt Aaala,
The return of "Big Bill" James to reg
ular duty on the mound for the Bravo
will add, at least 36 per cent to the
pitching power of the world champions,
and greatly enhance the chance of the
Bontonlan ln their fight for th 11S
pennant In tho National league.
The mighty right arm of James went
wrong two month or so ago and he was.
granted a leave of absence. After a rest
of several week, James announced that
his arm was back ln form again cer
tainly welcome new to the Stalling out
lit. Yankees Bering- Many nook tea.
The new Yankee owner already have
spent about 145,000 ln the purchase of
minor leaguers and the end ain't yet.
a they say ln Boston. Among the really
promising player secured are Allan Rua
ell, pitcher and Outfielder Olihooley, who
played with the Yank during the regime
of Frank Chance. .
The' fact that the Tanks are buying
new players and paying big price for
them indicate that the 171 team will
be a comparatively new one and that
many of the old player will be lot out.

Who aald, "Ther never come back?"
Pooh! pooh! Look at this bird Coombs. In his last start with Brook
lyn he not only pitched a masterly game, but oangtyl out enough hits to
put It on the Ice.
Back in 1912 John was patching for the Athletics in the world's series
against the Giants, lie turned suddenly to throw to first base. As he did
so his spikes caught on the pitcher's rubber, with the result that he twisted
his back. lie! was badly hurt, but stuck it out a little longer and finally
had to leave the game and be put to bed. But this was only a forerunner
of something worue, for at one time it was feared he would never walk
again, naving aeveloped a rare disease typhoid of the splne which he
thinks was contracted by an Insect bite while on a southern training trip
For months he teas in bed with weights attaphed to his feet to stretch his
spine and allow It to heel.The attending physicians nerer expected him to
recover, but he fooled them. Connie Mack kept him for two years in re
membrance of work that he had onoe done and finally gave him his un
conditional release. , . 1
Last January he signed with Brooklyn, and now look at the old kid
go. And if he Isn't careful he Is apt to be in another world's series a
thing that hasn't happened in Brooklyn slnce Ned Hanlon held the tiller
of the old- ship.
Probably Coombs' most notable stunt, and where he got the nameor
"Iron John," was the winning of a twenty-four-inning game at Boston ln
1908. '
His only bad habits are Smoking a black old pipe and playing golf.
