~ EW 81 YORK has found new
IN pastime and is tickled to death.
- As usual with New York
sports, there is blood-letting. The new
game is battle royal, in which any
number of duslky warriors are turned
loose in a twenty four foot ring and
they battle until one is finally declared
to be the winner.
There is no use of denying that a
battle royal is brutal, but about the
funniest thing that ever happened In
recent affair, Of this kind one little
moke was knocked out in the first min
ute Of the Singing. He lay in The
ring for ten minutes and regained con
seriousness slowly. The big fellows were
pounding each other to ribbons and the
little one just remained on the floor and
watched. When the battle was down to
two badly exhausted, boxers the re-
freshed pig1ny jumped up, executed !: a
few swings and took home the money.
In the same fight two boxers were jab-
-bing at a third, front and back, when
the middle man went to the floor sud
denly to escape the pounding. His
assailants had just drawn back and
shut their eyes for swings and cut them
loose. They landed. square upon each
other and both went down for keeps.
It is not a gentle sport for the par.

and night. The idea of Watkins con-
trolling newspapers is rather funny.
Watkins is one of the few baseball
magnates who rarely takes baseball
writers into his confidence. Watkins
does this at times, but seldom. He
keeps a close mouth on all of his bust
news-news of what was going on in
the association-Min has been
the baseball Lhassa Of the world.
Local news writer's all like. " Tatty'
as man but they have jawed with him
over this policy. He is friend of all
of them but when news is floating
"Watty'' is the last to uncork it.
He tells Of purchases and releases of
players, but never word of the pol
itics Of baseball so far as other mag
mates are concerned. He had no press
agent in Minneapolis that T. ever knew
Of. The charge that Watkins controlled
tate to them what they should or should
not print Is absurd. Tt would make the
fellows here very mad if it came from
any other spot on earth than Mil
waukee. Down there Havenor and Joe
Cantillon are believed to be just little
greater than the president of the coun-
try. Whenever either Of them grunts
the beerville newspapers groan. When
they snap their fingers the space filters
Cali save Tommy Andrews) Sit up and
bark. No one quarrels with this idea
at all No one blames Havenor or Can
tillion for using the papers #, they can,
1t is legitimate if it can be pulled off.
Minneapolis papers are more free from
attempts to get them in line than in
any other city in the country. The
writer's will not stand for it and the
magnates have never attempted it. ::
The objections voiced thru this paper
to O'Brien s work has been based solely
upon his assigning of umpires to Min
neapolis at bad times and refusing to
change when requested. Minneapolis
fans do not like umpires who favor
either side. Personally O'Brien is well
liked here. He is no more above criti

Those who had seen Brother Mike in
action could hardly believe that the
New England boxer would be able to
keep such hard-hitting, shifty fellow
as Gardner off by left jabs.
Sullivan is said to have had an ad
vantage in weight, but that does not
count; for much, as the men met under
catch weight conditions. From now on
Mike will be in line for bout with
either Nelson or Britt.
Jack "Twin' Sullivan victory over
Mike Schreck in Los Angeles gave the
Sullivan family additional fame.
schreck only had eight days to train
for the bout and was overweight the
night before the battle. He offered
Sullivan 5000 to permit him to enter
the ring over weight. Sullivan declined.
As a result, Schreck took off the flesh
in Turkish bath.
Sullivan fights in style that Schreck
has never been able to solve. Sullivan
fights close in and covered up, so that
all man can get a good smash at is
his shiny, bald head. Swingers like
Schreck cannot damage this style of
fighter. Hugo Kelly should have taught
Mike a lesson along that line.
Both Jack Sullivan and his brother
Mike, twins, are baldheaded. They
can hardly be separated from one an
other without this feature, but the
badness caps the resemblance. Many
man has taken one for the other.
Jack is the heavier. The men are in.
separable comrades, and each will
wager everything that the other is the
best fighter at his weight in the coun.
try. This was shown when. Mike pro

their complexion.
Now that he has reached as great q
height as he can aspire to, O'Brien is
drawing the color line. It lis wise.
Some Of these yellow boys have good
eyes, can judge distance and have a
swing which makes the average fighter
think he is still dreaming in the ham
