7 member Of a wild gang Of young Polish
! Americans. He always was in some
sort Of trouble
From Johnstown, Pa, comes advice
that Stanley preferred to lounge against
a bar than TO fulfil his theatrical con-
tract That's the same old story in the
same old way. He used TO prefer to lap
UP the suds than go to work. Now
that the fight game pals a little, the
old habit comes back. 1t viii not down.
But Stanley has a new manager now,
Bert Igoe, a newspaper man. Perhaps
Igoe viii talk prohibition 10 Stanley.
But that is all the good it will do. The
young man with the crouch has too
many models to emulate Jeffries. John
son, Sullivan and the rest.
E. w. Dickerson. sporting editor in
chief of the Rocky Mountain News, and
a prize fight authority and promoter
of standing, has something to say to
lovers of the fistic sport. AS usual,
Mr.. ~Dickerson Is predicting.
Here is what he predicts for the lead
ers a year from now, and the first
guess will show how ne stands on the
July fight:
Heavyweight-Jack Johnson.
Middleweig ht-Sam Langford.
weight-Harry Lewis.
Lightweig ht-Ad Wolgast.
Featherweight-Owe Moran.
amweight-Frankie Conley.
Waco baseball bugs have put their
heads together TO do the proper thing
by Bates Simpson and the club in gem
eraL 1t is decided to buy outfielder
Wilson from the Frisco club.
Coach Charles Moran, of the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical college of Texas,
viii probably reenter professional
baseball ranks this month, for he has
been offered several good positions in
the Texas league, and it is understood
that he is taking them seriously. His
contract with the Agricultural and Me-
chanical college Is such as to permit
he desires, and still retain his position
with that institution Of learning.
According 10 the understanding be-
tween Moran and the college, he is to
receive the sum Of $3.50 per year for
three years as the baseball and football
coach. AS the college season comes
to an end early in June and does not
begin again until September. Moran is
left with the intervening weeks at his
take up his chosen profession again
there is nothing to hinder him.
Brutality is not only confined to the
ring. There is close second-perhaps
a first-and that is the mat. The brutal
show at Kansas City Thursday night
may be ia ken as an illustration.
Although his second requested the
match TO be stopped after the first fall
club officials compelled DR.. B. F. Roller
to continue with Yussiff Mahmout. Roll
Ter suffered a badly injured shoulder.
Still he was forced to be thrown sec
ond time
Before the bout referees got TO fight
ing over something. Police stopped the
fistic affray, but, of course, arrested
nobody.
As a preliminary, one wrestler hit his
opponent, and a man lost most Of his
teeth.
Still, boxing is barred from most
cities and wrestling permitted 1t
doubtless is based on the ignorance Of
lawmakers. Open play always seems
the most brutal. But is it?
OF all cruel fortunes is the wrestler's
slowly gripping lock, tearing muscles,
breaking bones. The clean punch Of the
padded glove is nothing to 1t.
But the boxer more often draws
blood And for that reason he is con-
sidered more brutal than the man who
breaks bones with the calm of a boa
constructor crushing a sheep.
