change which I would recommend IL
that the distance to be gained by rush

I also think that the runner should be
allowed to attack only one player in

to some extent the attack with the de-

ran off the first block of 500 points
in fifteen innings. The former rec
ord average was 81. made several
years ago by the late Frank c. Ives,

Slosson made 207 points in II innings,

brllliancy in two of his sessions at the
table.
Hoppe won the bank, but failed to
count on the opening shot, but this was
the only cipher in his score. At open
table play or close nursing the young
player seemed to be equally effective,
and many of his ms were ended alb
ruptly through seeming carelessness

BEN DOUGLASS EARNS
DECISION OVER LEARY
in TEN ROUND BOUT
Billy Rallied in Ninth, but New.
arker Added to His Lead
in Tenth.

ID EN- DOUGLASS defeated Billy
ID Leary in a ten-round star bout
at MEG uigan's Harrison Boxing
] last night. Leary. had apparently
lost his old-time punch and stamina.
Again and again he landed his right
to Douglass's jaw without troubling
Ben. Douglass, on the other hand, who
was in superb form, had his opponent
hanging on several times, and on one
occasion the Gladstone boy appeared
TO be all in.
Douglass swung wildly at times and
beat the air with several left and right
swings that would have meant hay
making for Leary had they landed, but
Leary escaped partly through his
agility to duck.
The first three rounds were pretty
even, but from the fourth to the ninth
Douglass had the better of II. Leary
rallied in the ninth and had Ben bleed
ing, but in the tenth the Newarker
was as strong as an OK and retaliated
on Leary. The rest of the bouts were
good, three knockouts being recorded.

communication appearing in last
nights issue of the Evening STAR. In
that communication he states that he
had a game scheduled with my team,
the Sommer A. c., for this coming Sun
day, and that he expected us to keep
our word. 1 desire to say that up to
last night I did not make any arrange
ments to play the Elmwoods this Sum-
day.
Immediately after the Elmwood-Som-
mer football game on Thanksgiving
Day l challenged Mr.. Flynn to a re.
turn game. Ills response was that he
would try TO accommodate me. but
would let me know later. / did not
lear any more from Flynn until last
Monday night, when he left a message
for me at the Sommer clubhouse stat
ing thai he would not let his eleven
meet the Sommer unless they received
a certain amount OF money. AS I
could not see any way of paying the
amount of money demanded by Mr..
Flynn, and desiring to do something
for the stricken families of the High
street fire, / Immediately dropped all
negotiations with the Elmwoods and
advertised to play n eleven this
Sunday who was willing to help swell
the fire fund. So l do not see on what
grounds Flynn demanded us to keep
our word as no arrangements had been
completed up to last night for a game.
However, the manager of the Elm
woods must have experienced a sud-
den change OF heart, as arrangements
were made last night over the tele-
phone between Flynn n myself to
have the Sommers and Elmwoods meet
Sunday afternoon for the benefit of
the fire fund. Hoping to see this in
the evening edition of Fridays STAR,
and thanking you i n advance, I am,
sincerely yours,
