FIGHT GAME BOOMING
q. IN THE NORTHWEST

The boxing game is booming in
the northwest. Numerous athletic
clubs in Washington, Idaho and
British Columbia are clamoring for
fights and fighters so that the fistic
same, which promised at one time
to die of inactivity, is forging
ahead at a great rate.
The six round game seems to be
the most popular, especially with
the authorities. although 10 and
even 90 round beats may be pulled
off in several British Columbia
towns. This state of affairs will
continue, with even greater free
dom for the fight promoter, until a
series of rank fakes nails the lid
down again.
1t is always thus. First anna
tours, then six round no decision
affairs, then the same number of
frames to a decision, then the 10
round bout and finally the 20 or
% round game. AS long as the
game is square, things run along
mills, or jOurneying far from home
smoothly. But when crooked
deal crops up, it's goodbye to the
prizefight for many moons.
BOON TO AMATEURS
The opening up of the short
route fight game in the northwest
affords great opportunities for as
piring amateurs to enter the pro-
fessional ranks without jumping

MOST SENSATIONAL PLAY.
The most sensational play l ever
saw was at Seattle, when Hogg,
who died recently, was pitching.
Hogg was pitching against Harmon
of Butte and II innings had passed,
with both men working nicely.
In the eighteenth inning Hurley,
the Seattle first baseman, took first
when Harmon hit him with the ball,
stole second and third, and after
Harmon had struck out two men.

ball eft the catcher's hand. Har-
mon was so anxious that he fun
bled the ball and Hurley was safe.
l never saw such excitement as
at that finish. People tore their
hats from their. heads, jumped over
the benches, and, in fact, were liter
ally wild for time.

HASS|C, FORMER
s. A. A. c. BOXER,
TO APPEAR HERE

Walter Hassig, the former Seattle
115-pound amateur boxer, will prob
ably appear in one of the prelimi-
naries to the Vancouver-Spokane
interclub smoker. either against Kid
Mccoy or Jerry Lucenta. If Mccoy
is matched against Vancouver, as
the club officials hope, Lucenta will
be the man to fight Hassig.
Hassig is working for lumber
company at Kennewick at the pres
ent time, and is anxious to come
here for a fight. He claims that
he was never given a chance to win
over Billy Dyer, the crack Seattle
115-pounder, Austin refusing to
match the two.
Lucenta is not discouraged over
his defeat at the hands of Mccoy

right stuff in him, and with little
knowledge of the game, will prove

Speaking of plays, the funniest

mond was in days gone by, when

shortstops, who starred for Boston,
were living in Council Grove, Kan.

Emporia to play game and took
thes two men along as pitchers.
When we arrived / decided to
pitch HaddOck, and ong rebelled,
declared If he couldn't pitch he
would quit. He didn't quit, though,
for there was SIS at stake, and at
that time his check would not have
been honOred for much.
Well, we put in Haddock and
used ong at short. Herman had
nine chances in that game, accepted
them all without a bobble and made
four hits in as many trips to the
plate. 1t was the last time Long
eyer talked of pitching.
