Sporting Spiel.

With Hoppe VS.. Schaefer tonight
and Slosson and Sutton slated for a
match tomorrow night New York GER
tainly is due for a feast of billiards.
Either contest should be worth going
miles to see for any lover of the gen.
tlemen's game
Not player of the Denver Western
league club is to be resigned for next
season.
The way AL Kaufman beat it"
seems to show conclusively that he
doesn't want any of Johnson's game
Not National league club won Il
series from the Clubs. The smallest
number of games won from any team
was Is.
The Eastern Bowling league will
have clubs this season in New York,
Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Trenton, Will
mington and Baltimore.
Here's a team of hitters from the
American association that would make
few of the pitchers go some:
Hallman, Louisville. left fielder,
1888; Davis, Minneapolis, right
field, 1926: Kenna, Louisville, pitcher,
1923; Carr, indianapolis, first base,
1872; Perrine, Kansas City, short,
.291; Phyle, Kansas City. second base.
POI; Woodruff, Louisville, third, .297:
Pierce, st. Paul, catcher. .311.
This one chosen from the country
at large could also cut few capers
on the diamond:
Chance, Chicago Nationals, first
base; Lajoie, Cleveland, second base;
Wagner, Pittsburg, short stop; Devlin.
New York Nationals. third base:
Stone. ST. Louis Americans, left field;
Seymour, New York Nationals, center
field; Keller, New York Americans,
right field; Bresnahan, New York
Nationals; Killing. Chicago Nationals,
catcher: Matthewson, New York Ma
tionals; Brown, Chicago Nationals;
Waddell, Philadelphia Americans;
Walsh, Chicago Americans, Young,
Boston Nationals, pitchers.
The baseball season in the big
leagues was a peculiar one. Both
Chicago teams ended in first place,
both New York teams in second, both
Philadelphia teams in fourth place
and both Boston teams are in last
place. st. Louis broke the string,
however. as the Americans finished in
fifth, while the Nationals ended in
seventh place.
East Grand Forks will meet the
Grafton high school team next Satur-
day on the local gridir5n. Grafton
is heavy and should win the game on
this account.
Fullback Jones of the Grand Forks
high school football squad is one of
the strongest players in the state.
High school teams beware.
so Jeff will stick to the farm, will
ho?' asked Jim Corbett, as he sat down
beside me in the smoker of a Bayside
hotel.
Looks that way"
Well remarked Mr. Corbett, "why
shouldn't he? There isn't another man
on earth In his class. Jack O'Brien is
a splendid fighter, but you can't serl-
ously think of him as a heavyweight.
The old timers have drifted past.
There isn't anything astonishing about
the new crop. tell you some young
fellow like Jeffries himself will have
to appear before Jeffries will have
chance to fight again-and | haven't
heard of any-nOt yet. Some young
fellow will have to show a punch that
will put O'Brien and Berger and
Kaufman and the rest of 'em down
and out.
Jim Jeffries is the greatest heavy
weight fighter that ever lived, and he
became the greatest in moment.
That was in the seventh round of his
last fight with Fitzsimm0ns Before
that time, although he beat Fitz and
knocked me out in the twenty-third
round of our first battle, Jeff was a
cinch. don't know any big fellow
I'D rather fight than Jeffries as he was
