draws as an opponent, merely wanting
chance to make good here. He still
holds the championship of Australia
which he won by defeating Hoch Keyes.
Among the other good boys whom he
has defeated are Kid Krant and Kid
Sealer. He probably will get a match
before one of the local clubs for an
early date. He has a good record and
Is regarded as q good drawing card up
north.
Freddie Welsh probably will box
twenty rounds with Johny Frayne, who
claims the coast lightweight champion
ship, the scrap being sought by the
club of which Charlie Lercari is man
ager at Frisco. Frayne is a most prom
ising lightweight and made good~on his
down east fighting trip, as well as In
all his coast fights. He hardly classes
with Welsh. however, as there are rev
who do, and 1t looks like another nice
bunch of easy money for the clever
little English champion.
Wink Williams announced that he
will race at Santa Anita next winter
and will bring his crack sprinter, Car
thage, as his headliner. Carthage is
5-year-old by Serrano and has beaten
many of the better class of horses OF
the American turf at sprints and over
long distances, seeming to be about as
good over distance as in the sprints.
Kid Mccoy is to be tried out at New
York against big Jim Stewart, the
promising young heavyweight. Kid Is
tackling q big Job, considering the fact
that he has been out Of the game so
long that he cannot be anything near
as fast and clever as he once was,
while the young giant whom he VIII
meet is just budding into champion
ship possibility.
On the dope of the 1907 world series.
| the Cubs should repeat in the series
that begin today. In that series the
Cubs won four straight games after
playing to a tie in the opening game.
| On the theory that neither team Is
any poorer or improved relatively over
the 1907 lineup, the Cubs should hold
onto the world championship. Here Is
| the dope of the 1907 series:
First game-Called on account of
darkness at the end of the twelfth in
ming, score standing 8 to 3. Wild Bill
Donovan and OWE overall were the OPP
| posing pitchers. Game played at Chi
cago.
Second game-Cubs won by score OF
to /, Pfeister and Mullin being the
opposing twirlers. Game played at
Chicago.
! Third game-Cubs won by score of
| to /, Ruelback for Chicago and Siever
and Killlan for Detroit being the OPP
posing pitchers. Game played at Chi
cago.
Fourth game-Cubs won by score OF
s to l, Donovan and Overall again be-
ing the rival slabsters. Game played at
Detroit.
Fifth game-Cubs won by score of
to 0, Brown for Chicago and Mullin for
Detroit being opposed. Game played at

There will be a big fight when the
national baseball commission meets
November 10 at Chicago for the annual
session of that body. The American
association and Eastern league will try
to prove that they are classier organ
! izations than the Pacific Coast league
and will seek to have a special class
| created for them, so that they will en-
JOY equal privileges of draft with the
major leagues. There is no chance for
the success Of the plans unless the com
mission backs down on its agreement
with the Coast league when the latter
organization left the outlaw ranks. By
the terms Of admission of the Coast
league into organized baseball 1t was
agreed that the league should become
class A league and subject to the opera
ton OF the draft rule only from the
major leagues. The American associa-
| tfon and Eastern league want to have
the privilege OF drafting from class A
| leagues. OF course the other class A
leagues will join with the Coast league
in fighting this movement, and 1t hardly
will succeed. The Coast league clubs
