F Joe McGinnity can prove his
charge of signal-tipping, somebody

charge of sgnal-tipping, somebody
ought to be punished for the un-
sportsmanlike trick
We think, however that the Iron
Mans" complaint, coming when it did,
after he had been pounded out of the
box, has not the weight it would have
had If he had quietly investigated the
story and then laid it before the proper
authorities. The White Sox have been
ridiculed for their charges against the
Yankees, because the Duffyites could
not prove them.
We think that the batter is handl-
capped by knowing what is to come to
him. Joe McGinnity knows his busi-
ness, but we do think that signal-tip-
ping was not responsible for the loss of
yesterdays game, Though the Bisons
failed to do much after Holmes gave
the signals. Walsh accused the Yam
KEGS, when they batted him hard. in
New York. of tipping his signals. Just
to prove that wasn't the case, the Yam
KEGS walloped him worse in Chicago
| than they did in New York. This sig
nai-tipping when you cannot show the
men and the telescopes should be passed
up.
Con Walsh walked off with first
prize in the ham per throw at Newark
a week ago and he wasn't entitled to
| a place Con borrowed hammer not
knowing that 1t weighed only thirteen
pounds, and threw 1t against the fell
lows who competed with the regular
sixteen-pound hammer. That medal
might have gone TO the man who was
awarded second place. The officials,
regularly chosen, were not competent
for they didn't weigh the hammers, as
is required by the rules of the A. A. u.
Had men been picked from regular
list of men--a list approved by the a.
A. UT would have been their duty
to see that the weights conformed with
| the requirements and Con would never
have got that medal" says the Evening
World of New York in story that
has for it's object the appointment
! of oficials by the A. A. U. rather than
by the clubs. Some answer is due on
the statement about Walsh
.
Willie Beecher is one of the toughest
boys in New York-physical toughness.
we mean He can fight at 127 and be- at
his best right now. Wait until that
lad is a legitimate lightweight and he
won't be far from the top of that
| lightweight ladder, II he isn't up there.
o
i ANY 122-pound boy that can beat
i Benny Kaufman, who is almost a
/ lightweight, and only fights as often
as Patsy Kline does, Is not getting all
that is coming to him for his abality.
Sailor White is going to fight at the
National Sporting Club Friday night
! The sailor will meet Jumbo Wells, the
cyclist pugilist. The pair met recently
| Wells> compelling the referee to stol
the bout in the third round. Wells hi
White in the jaw, instead of shaking
hands with him at the start of this
i fight White says that blow beat him
and that he wants just this chance.

/ In view of what Ad Wolgast has
\ done in overruling his manager. Tom
Jones, it is not impossible that the two
will part Ad. we think, has been
!. handicapped by Jones. At any rate,
he hasn't the reputation to which he
is entitled
