This means that there will be three

felt for weight, If either man fails to
make the weight he losses the forfeit
and there will be no match"
one thing which Sullivan stipulates
is that they will not have a Bath man
referee the match but that the referee
must be an outsider. Sullivan con-
Guides his challenge for Miller by
stating that 1--WE are out for his scalp

BASEBALL NOTES

"Topsy" Hartsel does not get many
press notices, but year in and year out
he is about the best left fielder in the
American League. Unlimited quaint
ties of grit and spunk add TO Hartsers
value.
Mach. VIII hold on to his two star re-
ceivers, SchTeck and Powers, who form
Il pair no other American League team
can match. In the National. Cinc!n-
natl has an unbeatable staff in Schiel

baseman, is taking a postgraduate
course in law at Harvard this winter.
but will discontinue his studies in
time 20 take the trip South.
Jimmy Casey, who played third base
and was captain of the Brooklyn team
last season. will most likely play with
the jersey City team of the Eastern
League next year. The officials Of the
latter club are after Jimmy. and on
that account Manager Donovan is not
IN favor of giving Casey his release.
There is small chance of a newcomer
breaking into such 4 powerful combi
nation as the Chicago Cubs this sea-
son. Merker and Donohue, junior
pitchers. will 80 along on the training
trip in the hope Of showing up well
enough to stay on the team, and
Elston. young outfielder. who is
touted as 4 whale. will get fair try
out. These are the only Juveniles who
seem to stand the slightest chance.
Young Matt Kilroy, Jr, son OF the
famous old Baltimore pitcher. will fol-
low his fathers footsteps and become
o ball player. Matt" has signed 10
pitch for the Danville (Va.) league
team for the coming season. kilroy
pitched some fine independent bail
last season and is highly recommended
by Connie" Mack
