LATE BASE BALL NOTES

John j. McGraw. formerly manager of the
Baltimore base ball team of the National
League. and Capt Wilbert Robinson of the
ex-Orioles have signed st. Louis contracts
and have agreed to play with the western
club of which Frank de Haas Robson is
president. The terms have not been made
public, but Mr.. Robson. is well known.
offered McGraw 5000 in addition to $500 of
the purchase money paid to the Brooklyn
Baltimore syndicate for the two men, max
ing his value for the season $500, and to
this $1,000 more was added, making 50, 800
for McGraw. Robinson was to get total
of $500 and the $1,000 added later brought
the sum up to $500. The men were also
offered as an inducement certain holidays
while in the east to visit their place of
business in Baltimore
When two days ago Mr.. Robson asked
the players to visit him he announced that
he had further arguments to offer to
convince them that they ought to play in
st. Louis. These probably had the dollar
mark in front of them. and it would not be
surprising if McGraw's figure is $4,000
and Robinson's 5000. The players went
from Cleveland to join the st. Louis team
at cnce without returning to their homes.

Tom Sharkey knocked out Joe Choynski

night. The fighting was Of the hurricane

Sharkey had the fight well in hand through
out. The knockout blow was a left jolt to
the jaw just as the bell sounded for the
end of the second round. Choynski tried
to respond when the third round was called,
but when he attempted to arise he fell over
on his back on the floor, and Referee Ma
lachy Hogan awarded the fight to Sharkey.
The men met for a six-round go at catch
weights. Choynski weighed about 165 and

In the second round Choynski tried to

stand. ChoynsK landed several stinging
lefts to the marines face, but the latter
paid little attention to the blows, and kept
boring with all his strength. The blows
Sharkey was landing were wearing the Cali

unable to protect himself in the exchanges,
but when sent to the floor he would not
take advantage Of the count but would
jump up just soon as he hit the floor.
Finally Sharkey in one of the mix-ups
got straight right to the stomach. which
doubled his adversary up. Then the sailor
became like a madman and lunged at
Choynski, forcing his slender opponent on
the ropes. Choynski tried to fight back,
but he was too weak, and after withstand
ing the hardest kind of punishment finally
succumbed. and Sharkey was we'll pleased
with the result and danced jig as Choyn-
