Among the PugS.

n ROBABLY the pugilstic figure
which is at present attracting
more local attention than any of
the lighters before the public is the
stocky one of little Terry McGoVern,
champion bantam weight pugilist of
the world, who will appear in the city
this afternoon. McGovern, since his
conquest of Pedlar Palmer the Eng
lish champ ion, has been knocking out
with startling raPidity and frequency
every man in his class he has encoun-
tered, and is proving one of the great
est boxers of the day. His most re-
cent victory was last Tuesday night,
when he knocked out Tommy White,
of Chicago, in the third round Of what
was to have been q 25-round bout,
easily putting his opponent out of the
fight. though the latter is recognized
as a clever, aggressive fighter and a
good ring general and had the advan-
tage, moreover, physically, being taller
and several pounds heavier. And yet
this whirlwind Of a fighter, this little
demon, as he is rapidly becoming
known, is a little fellow, about hve
feet two inches tall and weighs 100
pounds. He is probably the greatest
pugilistic favOrite i'm the country out
side OF the big fellows. and even at
that would give the champion heavy
weights q run for popularity.

Young Heidrick, of st. Louis, leads the
centerfielders, and the rightfielders are

Donovan, of st. Louis. The New

also has a perfect record.
Mondays Philadelphia Ledger rec
ommends the purchase of Mike Doher-
ty from Scranton to play third base
while Wolverton is indisposed. 1t also
speaks of Johnnie Burns, the Wilkes
Barre second baseman, as a candidate
FOR big league honors, and mentions
three pitchers ripe for National league
honors: Owen, of Wilkes Barre; Slim
mel, of Allentown, and young Dan
Kervin, of this city. Stimmel has had
the most experience of the three, hav-
ing played in minor league circles for
several years. Kervin, however, is the
most promising player of the trio, as
in addition to being a crack young
tWirler, he fields his position in splen ,
did style, and is one Of the heaviest
batters in the league. On a big league
team with some veteran catcher like
Robinson, Maguire or Farrell to coach
him, he ought to prove one of the
twirling finds of the year. owen has
better curves than any of them and
splendid control, and has proved a
stumbling block to the heaviest hitters
of the league, all year.

pitchers of the New York State league,

and has been badly needed by the BIZ
sons. Jack Shearon. who has been
taking knolls place, is a hard sticker,
but not nearly the all around player
that the little fellow is. Knoll is bat
ting harder this year than he did last.
He draws as many bases on balls as
ever, and can worry any pitcher in the
league into presenting him his bag,
and in addition has been making long
drives, mostly for extra bases, with a
frequency which made him one of the
most dreaded batsmen throughout the
circuit.
Jack O'Neill, who last year caught
for Scranton, and has recently been
doing splendid work behind the bat
for Utica, broke his leg in a game last
week between Utica and Schenectady,
while making a long slide to second
base. 1t is likely that benefit will
be given for him.
Buck Freeman has not been bat.
ting in anything like his last year
form this season at Boston. The
Wilkes-B Barre boy was secured by Sc
lee, who thought that he would prove
a great acquisition to the batting
strength of the team. His wonderful
record of twenty-five home runs last
season, it was expected. would be
easily broken this year, on the small
Boston grounds. Buck opened the
season in a way that seemed to lend
credence to the glowing reputation he
bore. In the first game of the year he
was sent to bat for Pitcher Bailey and
hit the ball over the fence. In the fol-
lowing few games he drove out a cou-
MI ha hn
eaters could see another pennant float
ing above the grounds. He then let
| down a bit, however, and has hit only
.2S6 in thirty-five games. The Boston
, management has great confidence in
him, however, and he is being given
thorough trial in right garden. Once
Buck again strikes his pace the league
pitchers will have cause to tremble.

of the Atlantic league players. Muir

is at Schenectady; Evans, the promis-

Is enacting the backstop role at Cort-

er, has been signed by Utica, and is
being used to do utility stunts. Other
Atlantic leaguers of past years, who
are local faVorites, and are now in the
New York circuit, are Pete Eagan, for
many years a favorite outfielder in
this city, who Is now on the Cortland
team, and Belts, who last year played
left field for Reading, and for several
seasons in the Eastern league, played
in the Wilkes Barre outtield, and also
pitched, is with Utica. He signed as
an outfielder and has been several
times given turn on the rubber and
has done magnificent work.
Jimmy can, of this city, who has
been earning all sorts of honors at
second base for Elmira, and who at
the break up of that team went to Os-
wego to play there, changed his mind
and has signed with Cortland instead.
