NEW YORK. Oct. S.-A movement
has been quietly started in New York
of professional boxing contests which
will permit of the staging of fights be-
tween first class men. without danger
of police interference. The idea is to
go before the next legislature with d
measure which by the elimination of
the most Objectionable features of the
prize ring will have some chance of
passing the Legislature and receiving
the signature of the governor
Frankly. | do not believe any re-
suits will be accomplished. While
there is big element in this city and
in other cities of the state which would
favor such measure, the feeling in
the state at large is distinctly I'M
favorable and it is this sentiment that
dominates the legislature.
If the enormous influence behind the
race track was not sufficient to kill
the anti betting bill, can see no
hope for the less powerful influences
back of prize fighting to accomplish
anything at Albany. Even if such a
bill as is contemplated, should pass,
it's dollars to doughnuts it would be

and clever h9Se running. Take that
wonderful outfield-Cobb, Crawford
and McIntyre-can you beat it? You
have perhaps read, heard of or seen
great outfields of wears ago, but few
can compare with the Tigers trio OF
Outgardeners. 1t is composed of the
greatest batting, base running and
throwing trio in the major leagues.
There is Matty Mcintyre, getting on
first base as often as if not more often
than any cher man in he league;
there is "WahOo Sam" CrowfOrd with
his timely hits and long swats to
either send him home or at least to
third base. whence he'would be driven
home by Ty Cobb. And Cobb? There is
name to conjure with. Put him on
the bases. and he is always getting on
and the opposing team is worried. The
pitcher and catcher know that some
thing will be doing. Ty ia likely to

not believe.
Among the classics Hildreth has Ian

His winnings as compared with the

If t bunt is laid down by the next
batter he is more han likely to try
to take two bases while the out is

quite often due to make a dash for
