A real batsman may come and go,
but few will ever equal let alone sur
pass the little captain of the Brooklyn
SQUAD. The secret of keeler's success
with. the stick is the inability OF the
opposition to conjecture just what
sort of an attack he has in contempla-
ton. Your simon-pure graduate from
the School of Slug who knows moth
ing but the slap-bang manual, is easy
to lay for because he possesses no
other idea, and does nothing but blaze
away, but not with Keeler, he rarely
uses the same inside tactics twice In
succession. With the infield playing
out he is most likely to lay the ball
down, and if the Gordon moves in on
him he takes a chance at smashing 1t
through the lines with better than a
fair degree of success.

Yanger is in the peculiar position OF

the Italian would like try at Me-

giving away the weight that seems
necessary in order to get a bout. Ii

James Doel, the Oldest actor in the,

birthday. He was known as distin-

New York Herald.
Mr.. Doel made his debut on the
stage at the early age of 16 in little
Devonshire theater. John Brunton,
the brother of the famous Countess OF
Craven, gave him his first profitable
engagement. He quickly became
popular and scored many successes,
although he confined his professional
efforts mainly to, the west of England.
There was scarcely any scenery
used in those days. Acting was what
people wanted, not props, he says,
and the company travelled by road. AS

not for one day. but for every day
for a long time this situation has eX-
listed.
The addition of Bernhard and Lajoie
to the Cleveland club will make that
team a factor from now on, and ought
to result in an even more close concen-
tration of the interest in the flag race.
Speculation as to what will be done
with Bonner when Lajoie joins the

The result of his fight with Jimmy
Britt at San Francisco will in all PROB
ability cause Kid Lavigne to retire
from the ring. The Kid prepared
faithfully for his go with Britt, but
had to give in to stronger ana
younger opponent. The only concur
sion to be drawn from the fight is that
poor old George has seen his best
days.
Lavigne has been fighting for nearly
fifteen years, and in his day has met
all the leaders in the lightweight class.
Layigne was never much on clever
ness, his long suit being to 60 In and
wear a man down by Furnishing him
about the body. His defeat OF Joe
Walcott years ago showed what an
awful punisher the Saginaw Kid really
was in his prime. His famous punch
was a left hand to the stomach, which
he delivered with a swing. He woulo
step back with his left foot ana then
rip the left into the wind. 1t was Win
this blow that he put many sooo
man out of business, but In some cases
he found 1t utterly impossible to 40
any damage with the same klno OF
punch. When Lavigne fought George
McFadden, years ago, McFadden got
onto the Kids style and successfully
blocked him in every round. LaVlgne
was popular with all classes OF sport
ing men, who regret very much tha'
the chances are decidedly against MIN
in his efforts to regain lost aurels.
