BOWLING
MIGHTY WAS JAEGER
He Pulled Out Victory For the Casino Team in the Contest
 With the Woosters.

Enthusiasm ran high at the Wooster alleys last evening. for the contest be- tween the Woosters and the Casinos was on and the supporters of each team were out in force. It was the third meeting of the two leading teams of bowlers of this city and as each had won game the interest in the outcome of last nights game was heightened. Money was wagered freely on the final result and the friends of the Ca sino team carried away big bunch of the long green and over in the Casino building afterwards celebration was in progress until the closing hour.
 The Woosters were defeated, and it was all caused by just one man who pulled out victory for his team in the last string. Jaeger was the chap that did the trick and his final string of 24O sent the Casino team ahead by just fifteen pins. On the first string the Casinos started out to do some bowling and they succeeded in defeat ing the Woosters by the big margin Of eighty-five pins. They fell down in the second try and their lead was re- duced to thirty-two pins. It looked as though the Woosters would take the game when Jaeger stepped into the breach and in his last string bowleG the phenomenal 24O pins and the hopes Of the WoOsters went up il. smoke. Jaeger was carried around the parlOrs on the shoulders of his friends for his fast work in the final string.
 Elton and Backus. from whom fast work was expected, did not come up to the scratch. they bowling the poor. est of all the players in both teams. Debuc was the tail-end man in the Ca sino team.

The Hoppe boys both sport. ed astrahkan trimmed oyercOats and more cosmopolitan air than when they went abroad last October. hut the new honOrs won Oh the other side have not made the champion any less unassum- ing and quiet than he was before.
 The first news that Hoppe had had that he had been challeneged by George SIosson for the ls.1 champion. ship was when he stepped of the yes gel. He had little to say about the challenge except that Sl0sson would be accommodated. His father. speak- ing on behalf of the boy, said:
 ''Slosson's forfeit will he covered in due time. and what's more he Is ready iO take 0u both Sloss0n and Schaefer within the next sixty days. SIoSson within thirty days and Schaefer with in the following thirty. If Schaefer wants q match all he has to do Is to put up his money"

BASEBALL NOTES.

Red Donahue. the Detroit pitcher highly recommends to anyone wanting
 q young catcher, William Smith. 22J4 North Chadwick street. Philadelphia. Jack Tighe of Norwich has only got twenty-five men signedsat present and
 he has not got through by any means. If his ratio of signing men Is main tained to the time the bell rings Tighe
 ought to have pretty near a thousand
 men.
 Billy Hayward of New Haven has
 received definition Of his rights from
 Secretary Farrell of the national com
 mission. who says that Hayward must stay with New Haven until he is re- leased or bought Hayward wants to play with Toronto.
 Manager Fleming of Holyoke has se cured John Cahill of Germantown. Pa. soutbpaw twirler and a former Mi agara university player. Cahill played with Pottstown and Mount Carmel last season and several clubs were af- ter him this season. Cahill and Old SIeuth were brought up together in the same town and this fact infiu- enced the pitcher to sign with his old playmate.
 Manager CIarkin of Hartford says that the men that Captain Daily are after are little superior to anything ever seen in this league and there will be an opportunity for everybody to sit up and take notice when they ar- rive He has first baseman in view that will surely get inc black type when he is landed and he has few headliners for the outfield.
 Outfielder Hahn of the New York Americans recently lost his bank roll of S1.000 in q savage bank smash out in Missouri. As result he says he wants an increase in salary from Clark Griffith and will not sign a contract until he gets 1t. Hahn played good ball last year. but at that he may be traded to some other club if h.A does not step up to the captains office. Like other bail players who do not know that the war is over. Hahn is helpless. He must sign for what Griffith agrees to pay him or remain idle.
 Jack Sheridan has decided io umpire in the American league again this year. He announced his retirement last fall to 20 into the undertaking business. but he says the outlook is not so rosy as he expected 1t would be md therefore will take another chance with the indicator.

THE PUGILlST
FIERCE OLD FIGHTS
Tommy Ryau Says Present Style of Boxing is Only Childs Play to
 Old Prize Contests.

"people who jump on boxin.-as now conducted-and howl about its Brutality ought to have seen mills Of ,he skin-gicre days sa.s Tommy Ky an. And Tommy ought b know v hereof he speaks.
 "WIlen I first came out" saSs Tom "it was nearly all bush lighting and with the little gloves. In those days men trained for bush events much longer than now and pickled them selves like rocks. They had need to. / After q long fight with skin-tshts a mans face looked like Hamburg steak.
 Fearful punishment was usually exchanged. The men of that time were dead game and stood to the guns forty and fifty rounds bleeding like pigs, blind as bats, and only asking chance to reach the other fellow.
 These bouts were usually long. be- swings. and simply cut and stabbed with their thinly covered hands. X wild swing with those little gloves meant q broken hand or wrist, as 2 rule, and so the fighters worked cruel ly but slowly.
 T had lot of long fights mostly with men whom think I could have smothcred in hurry with big gloves. Danny Needham for instance. l fought him all night and if the gloves had been large enough to permit of free boxing and chance taking. | ought to have landed him in six rounds.
 One of the greatest men with those little gloves was Ike Weir. He cut his man to ribbons and seldom got hit in the process. When the era of fat gloves came Weir cut little ice and he was often beaten. He was not as good as he had been, of course. but [ still think he could have held his own under the old style of fighting.
 Nowadays, they say, it is brutal when two young fellows whack for six rounds with fat gloves. Some of those holier-t -than.thou boys ought to have climbed through wire fences and sand piles to see me and Con Doyle ar Ike Weir and Frank Murphy, or Tommy White and Billy Brennan.
 They ought to have seen those tiny gloves flying. blood jumping at every blow. men blinded and groping around tine ring and tine lights lasting clear ID to morning. Fine business, yes? Say, modern pugiIism resembles the old thing as much as d child's pony does grizzly bear"

l92 pounds or even 145 pounds. per- maps. and have a royal chance because Of his phenomenal cleverness and great punching power This particular judge or pugllIstic form also stated that OBrien was greatly overrated and had taken good care in most of his matches to pick out easy marks. 1t was also the opinion of this man that Cans could easily defeat Nelson or Britt at l33 pounds, 6 o'clock. There is no rule which requires Cans to weigh 133 pounds ringside," said he, '.and as a matter of fact few clubs care to sched- uie fights under that arrangement for the reason that should fighter be un- able to make the weight patrons of the club would have to be disappointed If no forfeit was up. Making the weight at 6 o'clock would give d club manager time enough to declare the bout off. in case of slip up. before the box office had been opened, or he would have ample time to put on good substitute contest
