Old Pacer New Molar
As tha result of a novel operation In
horee dentistry up at Chatham, N. T.,
Ieater Clapper's old sorrel pacing mare,
Rickety Ann. may be back on the circuit
-next season with nothing rickety about
her except her name. Coon after tha fait
fairs wera over last year Ann's owner
observed with dismay that moat ef tha
"S-eent- oats he was feeding her took a
back track and; came out of her nose.
Flabbergasted at this peculiar leakage,
ha called to the plumber, and when that
expert jrave It up he led the old mare
around to Pr. Franklin Pu Hol Smith's
veterinary hospital, where, they chloro
form anlmala that are beyond repair. Tr.
Smith, on examining Ann. found one of
her upper molars had dropped out, leav
ing a hole which extended to her nostril.
Ha consulted with Pr. W. E. Walker, a
dentist, and together they conatructed a
hard rubber tooth to fill the hole, fasten
ing it in place by means of a bolt and a
silver Plate.'- . '
Tha artificial tooth waa so successful
that Rickety Ann' now eata like other
horses and already looks Ilka a winner at

Any Time at Any
Weight Any Place
By

Worlda Champion Ught-HearywelghtT
I will fight any man In tha world over
the ten. twenty or forty-five-round route,
nd if I don't; win In a decisive way. I ll
donate my share of the proceeds to char
ity. This ehsllenga goes for Jess Wlllard,
Frank Moran, Jim Coffey and the ether
"heavies." rve challenged alt of them
time and time ago, but they always
cinne I'acs; wun ma answer tnat I am
"too small."
That what a lot of people thought a
year or two sgo, but soma of them don't
think that way now. I used to fight in
the middleweight division, and then latet
I took on light-heavyweights. I believe
the public will agree with ma when I say
I cleared tha puglllatio horison of light
heavies and established a clear title to
the llght-heavywctght championship.
And (hen I took on tha bigger' fellows'
men who outweighed ma from twenty
to fifty pounds and who were front two
to six Inohes taller than J. Thar waa ae
one else for me to fight. My weight la
only 170 and my height Is five feet seven
and a half Inches, but I'm not afraid to
try conclusions with any living man.
About a year or go ago Charlie We Inert
ef Newark, N. waa being boomed as
the logical contender for tha heavyweight
championship of tha world. X finally got
Wetnert In tha ring with me. Everyone
said that I waa going to be murdered.
The fight ended in tha second round
and I was the winner because I had
knocked . out Welnert.
. Frank Moran answers my challenge) for
a fight by telling ma I am "too small."
Well. I waan't too small to win from big
Jim Savage, If you'll look In the records
you will find that Savage stopped Moran
In their ftght. That was at a time. too.
when Savage waan t as good a man as
when I met hire.
"I've fought every man I could fight.
None, of them J ave come too big for me.
If you'll look through my record you will
find that tat addition to Savage and Wetn-
Mike Mowrey Finds .
No Profit in Peace
Mike Mowrey is one man In tha world
who is opposed to peace In base ball.
Right now Mike finds himself a,, man
without a country, or perhaps it might
be better to say a man without a league.
Mika neglected to renew hia contract with
the Pittsburgh rebels last month, although
be was urged to do so by Ed Konetciiy
and Rebel Oaken. Mike eaid he would
wait and see which way tha cat jumped.
So he waited and saw, .

Andre Anderson, "Bear Cat" Tom Me
Mahon, Jack Lester. Al Norton. Tom Mc
Carty and a bunch of others.-
"I've been fighting for seven years. "In
that time I have figured In 17 battlea.
Never onca during my career haa any
man scored a knockout over me; never
onca .have. I been knocked oft my feet
My record shows that I have scored
greater number ef knockouts. In ratio to
my bouts, than tha bulk of the roert In
tha prlsa ring today.
I won tha newapaper decisions over
Gunboat Smith and Tom McMahon. Look
In tha records and you'll find that both
those men scored decision victories over
Jeaa Wlllard. Dccsn't that show that
have ' made a" better record against the
same men than WUlardT ..
"I'tO'seen Wlllard tight and I've aean
Moran. Neither Inspired any fear In my
i heart. I've beaten men that wera too
good for both of them. I know that Mo
ran and Wlllard can hit a powerful blow,
but I think I'm, just a little bit too fast
for either of them. -
"And when It comes to hitting well,
look over my record of knockouts.
"In conclusion, I reiterate my chal
lenge: - I'll fight any man in the world
anywhere, any time and any diatance,
and If I don't win either by a knockout
or declalvely on points my share ot tha
prooeeda goes ta charity.

WALTER JOHNSON EASY
FOR GREAT TYRUS COBB
Ty Cobb Is the best batter In tha game
today. There era many' who believe that
Walter Johnson Is the greatest pitcher.
Tet Ty waxed fat on Walter's pitching
last season. Rip Mlllken haa It alt figured
out that Tyrus slugged tha Speed Krng
for an average of .S7S, while against Bert
Gallia he bit .071.
stoderara ta Lack.
BUI Rod sara can breathe easy for a
while, at least. The Cincinnati club haa
decided that he la the right and proper
person to atlck on second baaa and haa

WALSH HOLDS SOME RECORD
"Bunt" it Only Pitcher in Captivity
Who Hurled Two Ball and Al
lowed Five Runs.
TRIPLE AND HOME RUN MADE
Jimmy "Runt" Walsh once aspired to
be a pitcher, realised his ambition. Im
mediately established a world's record.
and right then and there hia pitching
hopes died a audden and violent death.-
"Bunt" laat season a third-sacker on
the St. Ixiuls Federals was doing in-flr-ldlng
chorea for the Philllea two or
three seasons ago. Frequently ha ap
proached "Red" Doom, the manager, and
aald:
"I've tot speed and control and I sure
ly can curve that pellet."
"I'll give you a chance some day," an
swered Red" and the -chance rame
during a Boston series. The Braves had
massacred a brace of the Phillies pitch
ers, two more were unfit because of duty
the day before, tha game waa hopeleasly
lost anyway and ao Dooln yelled to
Walsh: ' ' .
"Hey, yeu, 'Runt!' Get in that bo
and let's see what you kin do."
Proudly, almost haughtily,. ."Runt"
atrode to the mound. Three men wera
on the bases. "Runt'- uncorked his usual
warming up benders, then hitched up his
belt, -nodded In affirmation' ot his catch
er's signal, wound up, and the ball was
seen hurrying at a terrible dtp toward
the batter. v -.
jigralast the Feaee.
The batter, however, reached out hia
war club. . caught, .the ball . fairly and
squarely on the seam and sent It collid
ing against trie' fence, for three bases-
which, of course, sent across three more
rOns for the Braves. .
; "Runt was -very much , surprised at
this rough treatment, ' but was not disheartened.-
Ho hltcrhed his trousers 'once
again, gave the next batter tha "onca
aver," nodded to hia signaling catcher,
and cut loose.
The batter hooked Walsh's curve as It
broke and tha ball went sailing over the
fence for a home run.
"Hey, you get out there; get outa
there before I assassinate you!" shrieked
Dooln, and "Runt" Walsh's career as a
major league pitcher ended there ended
after Walsh had hung up tha unenviable
record of yielding a triple, a homer and
five runs on two pitched balls a record
without parallel In the long history of
the national pastime.
