Brown is well known in Baltimore

Great Improvement has been shown
recently in his boxing by Eddie Lutz,
the featherweis ht from the Arsenal, and
his soldier friends are becoming more
confident that he will win his twelve
round scrap with frankie Hogan on
February %. The Improvement has been
particularly noticeable IN his footwork.

the possibility of Gotch becoming the

While no one begrudges Gotch the VIC

possible not to wish that he5 had never
entered that fight, because OF the vast
mass of material which will food the
newspapers on the subject, and the hys-

alleged Weisenheimers. We will be told
just how big Gotch is. just how much
training he will have to do, the health
history of his family, and innumerable
other details in the effort to get him
into a ring to be slaughtered by JefYries.
From the accounts of the fight Gotch

Harvey Parker, who is to meet Joe

of those who believes in Charlie Leon
hardt's suggestion that there be held a
regular wrestling tournament to de-
termine all of the catch-as-catch-can
and 6.raeco-Roman championships. The
uncertainty affecting the various titles
has given takers an opportunity TO go
hippodroming through the country, ad-
vertising themselves as the champions
of this or that class, and the conse-
quenee is that the public has begun 10

wrestlers whom it does not know from

Parker would be contender for the

NEW YORK BOWLERS
SUSPEND VOORHEES,
Little Wizard" Used Too
Large a Ball in Tourney.
Question Has Been Hanging Fire for
Three Weeks-Metropolitan Club
Asked for Resignation.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-At a meeting
of the New York Bowling Association
IL Manhattan, Johnny VOORHEES,, the
Little Wizard of the bowling world,
was suspended for six bowling months
by the executive committee of the as
sGciation for using u ball over the regu-
lation size in one of the American ma
tionsi championship games The ques-
tion had been hanging fire for almost
three weeks, but it was not until yes
terday afternoon that the committee
took action.
The suspension of VOORHEES, will mean
that the Little Wizard will be barred
from all tournament games held under
the jurisdiction of the association until
November Il next, June, July, and Au-
gust being excluded from the bowling
calendar.
No Protest Entered.
On January II, in q game against the
Algonquin team. VOORHEES, used the ball
that caused his suspension from the as
sociation. The Algonquins did not enter
. protest, but the board of managers of
the American national tournament de-
elared the two games won by the Nets
forfeited The Metropolitan Club met
shortly after and requested VOORHEES,
resignation, which was given.
VOORHEES, took the matter mildly when
he heard Of the decision last night, and
said that, as he did not know that the
ball was over the regulation size when
he purchased it, he felt that he was not
at fault. The ball in question was 2s7a
inches In circumference, or Ia inches
more than the regulation size.
Voorheis is also a member of the Pal
ace Club and the Brooklyn Interstate
League team, with the latter OF which
ne won the individual prize with a 200
average. AS the Brooklyns also bowl
under the A. B. G. rules, it is not likely
| that his suspension by the n. Y b. A.
will prevent him from bowling in the
coming championship with Erie.
