BURNS MAKES Taxing PAY
Bunk Champion Has Laid Away a
Fortune in Past
Year.

Does it pay to be a faker in the prize
fighting business? One would say no,
but the way Tommy Burns has piled up
the coin in the last year would indi-
cate that in TOmmy's case, at any rate,
it has proved a success.
During the last twelve months Tommy
has fought five battles, which. combined
with his share of the receipts, his bets
on these battles and his management
of George Memsic, the Chicago fighter,
and bets on his chances, has netted him
just S51, zoo.
He made this money as follows: Draw
with Jack Twin Sullivan. Los Angeles,
$500; knocked out Jim Flynn, Los An
geles. $500; first battle with Jack
O. Brien, Los Angeles. a draw, 5000; sec
ond battle with Brien, which he won,
$1,000: beat Bill Squires at Colma, 5000;
from bet on battle with Jim Flynn. N,10.

George Memsic and Neary in Los An
geles $1,000; return battle at Milwaukee
for bet and management. $3.50; same for

CLARK GRIFFITH RETAINED
Announced That He Will Manage
Yankees Again Next
Season.

New York, Sept. 1T has been def
nitely settled that Clark Griffith will
again manage the New York Americans
next season. This information was gain
ed today from a man close to Owner Far
rell. Of the New York club, and it will be
officially announced in a few days.
In their efforts to strengthen the team
for next season Griffith and Farrell have
already spent S35, 900 for new players. In
several leagues they have secured the
pick of the players. Farrell states posi-
lively that he never for a moment con-
sidered George Davis or Joe Kelley as
Griffith's successor. Recently there has
been a persistent rumor that Griffith
was to be deposed. This situation became
so annoying to Griffith that he lost no
time hunting up Farrell when the mag
nate returned from Saratoga this week.
The result was a new understanding, and
it is said that Griffith has signed a con-
tract for one more year at least.

HOW BILL HASSANER
SPELLED FRIENDS NAME

Every baseball fan who was in
Washington a decade ago remembers
Bill Hassamer, who used to play an
OUtfield for the local club under tha
Wagner regime.
On account Of Bills excessive amount
Of boisterOusness he won for himssi4
the nickname Of Wild Bill, and bF
wasn't miscalled either =
During the off season Bill yvaa a
chauffeur on Cincinnati oil WaRtui
and his education was OF the modest
kind, to say the least. Once when he
was boarding in the house at the cor
ner Of Seventh and r streets he struck
up a friendship with a genial young
fellow who used to come around and
mix up with the several players who
made this place their headquarters
during their stay in the city.
Bill thought so much Of his Wash
ing friend that once on the friends
birthday he determined to make him a
present Of pair Of cuff buttons.
So a few days before the birthday
came around Bill bought the cuff but
tons and took them across the street
for the jeweler to engrave the initials
of his friend on the buttons.
well" said the jeweler to Bill.
what initial do you wish engraved on
the buttons?"
Il want a u" replied Bnl.
All" said the jeweler, who wished
to be ingratiating. Il suppose your
friend is named Ulysses. Ell %
His name" impressiveIy answered
Bill, who resented the jewelers. but

Bill Tozer, the Salt Lake twirler. goes
to Cincinnati in the National league next

Casteton slated for the New York Amer

Lake productions, selected for fast COM
pany next year.
TOzeT has been with Buffalo all year.
and is one of the leading pitchers in the
eastern league. He was drafted last sea
son by Boston. but was not allowed to
go, as but one player in each team is
subject to draft each season and Brock

New York Americans.
Castleton was drafted last season by
the Yankees. but sent back to the minors
this spring for more experience He has
been recalled to finish the season with
the New York Americans
slim Hall is the Bingham boy who
pitched for the Dubei team last wear and

season and IS rated as one of the top
notchers in the Western league Evident
watch on Halls work for he has secured
him for a tryout with the Pirates for

Three Salt Lake twirlers in one season
slated for the big leagues is certainly a

pected to be the greatest foot race of

exact methods of training he queried,
as he pranced gingerly about upon his
toes, but not moving from one spot. you
notice the first thing was a sun bath?
