GAME is NO RETTER.
Only Better Advertised, Says .aCap,
Arson.

Arson.
1t was during this game that the
sporting editor of the Plain Dealer sat
down beside Cap" Arson. Say"
said the veteran manager and bats
man. What do you understand by
'fadeaway' ball that they talk so much
about?" The writer told him all the
information he had on the subject and
old Cap gave grunt. and replied:
Well, there may be a 'fadeaway,' but
the way l look at it is that the pitch
ers haven't learned any new tricks
since the days when l used to clout
the leather. They may have some
new names, but when sit behind the
plate the curves and shoots look just
the same as ever to me. All there is
to 1t is that the pitchers have better
press agents than they used to have.
In fact, in the old days. We did not
have any papers boosting us they way
they tout the star players nowadays.
We just plugged along without receiv-
ing the writeups that are given the
winners at the present time. Once q

Attell's defeat of Neil on July 4
gave him the title in the featherweight
division without chance of dispute,
and. although he did not knock Neil
out on that occasion, he gave him as
terrific beating as he ever had.
Neither Baker nor Attell seems to
have a well-developed knockout
punch, SO it is more than likely that
when they meet the fight will go the
limit. and the victory will be decided

Rice believes that the oar blade

will be great help in teaching the
proper way to feather the oar. He
finds a disposition on the part of the
men to put the oar into the water be-
fore it is fully turned. SO that for the
