WHILE YOU WAIT
PuqiIistic Title Holders Are De-
veIoped by Los Angeles
Clubs.

LOS ANGELES Cal, May S.-When
Uncle Tom McCarey made the state
ment few nights ago that fully 80 per
cent of the top-notch boxers of today
owed their success either directly or
Indirectly to a boosting start received in
Los Angeles he was charged by some Of
his hearers with having a few shingles
loose In his roof.
little serious consideration of the
facts in the matter shows that Tom
wasn't handing out any hollow line of
talk. To begin with, the new lightweight
champion. Ad Wolgast. is a Made in
Los Angeles article.
AID was looked upon as being little bet
ter than a second-rater when he first
struck this city with Frank Mulkern, in
1908. He knocked out Danny Webster by
the way of Introducing himself, and from
that point on he began to climb.
Jim Jeffries fought but few battles in
his home city. but Jack Johnson was
able to keep the wolf at a safe distance
from his door by making several fights
here at times when silver dollar looked
as big as car wheel to the big smoke -
Able Attell, the shrewd little feather
weight champion. won his title together
with the McCarey gold belt. In the ring
at Maud junction, when he whaled

Able had a lot of soft picking In Los
Angeles Abe played his hand too strong,
in fact. The local public tired of him.
The little champ would have to be signed
up to meet a man who at least stood as
good as an even chance of beating him
il he hoped to draw a big house here
again.
Frank Conley was never heard of in
championship circles until he knocked
greatest fight was when he gained the
middleweight title by knocking out Stan
ley Ketchell here. Tommy Burns, by
reason of his painful (from a spectators
point of view victory over Marvin Hart
before McCarey's club. gained his first
pionship route.
The one youngster above all others
who should lift his hat every time he
hears Los Angeles spoken of Is Freddie
Welsh, the English lightweight cham
pion. The Pontypridd boy made whirl-
wind campaign, once he started here.
Welshs real success dates from the day
he started fighting In southern Caifor-
mia.
Sammy Langford added several thou
count by whipping heavyweights In the
Los Angeles ring. Jim Flynn, by VIZ
tue of the strong personal following he
had worked up in this city, was able to
fght here regularly for two years or
more, even though he lost more battles
than he won.
Jim Barry, the Chicago heavy. made
some Of his best fights here. The rec.
ord book shows that dozens OF the best
ring men Of the day have carried away
things considered. McCarey's remark
was q sure shot. The fighters should all
have a warm spot In their hearts Tor the
Angel city.

Lotions. because they don't know how
to stop them.
The trouble is that the majority of
college players who earn q little money
at the game during the summer months
are not willing to admit that they are
doing anything wrong. Practically all OF
them are students who pay their own
way through college and use this as an
opportunity to earn little money. Tnat
they are short in their views Of the mo-
their desire to still play college base
ball. There IT, Of course, nothing wrong
about playing ball as q profession, put
from a purely sporting standpoint IL is
not fair that they should expect to COM
pete on even terms with real amateurs
who utilize their spare time in playing
the game simply for the love of it.
Pennsylvania State College, at Belle
fonte. which is d hotbed of summer pail
professionalism. furnishes a pretty good
picture Of the attitude of the collegians
and the puerile efforts being made to
check the evil by bit of legislation
recently passed. State College proposes
to restrict her players to non-league
teams They can still take money tor
their services. but they must play with
what are termed semi-professlonal teams.
II is difficult to see any merit in the
distinction State attempts to draw.
Indians to Continue Lacrosse.
The Carlisle Indians intend to con-
tinue lacrosse as one of their regular
sports This ancient Indian game was
substituted at Carlisle this year for base
hall because the cfYictals discovered that
Sc ball was interfering with the dis
c;n,ine Of the school. While the Indians
did not meet as many lacrosse teams
az they had hoped, they have voted the
season success and will play the game
another year, at the same time keeping
base ball on the shelf.
Harvard's Two Championships.
Harvard athletes have been rewarded
by winning two championships within
the last week. The Crimson was first
in lacrosse by defeating Cornell In the
final game of the season. thus breaking
the tie between these two colleges which
ended last years schedule. On the same

Special Dispatch to The Star
CHICAGO. May 2S.-The hardest thing
in big league pitchers career Is when
the other side is peppertng out hits Is
fast as you can serve them out, Is
the opinion Of Twirler Addie Joss OF the
Cleveland Maps. 1t Is not often that
Joss finds himself being battered up by
the opposing batters. The reason Is be-
cause he pitches with system. He finds
1t profitable to hit a batter II he can
Nothing is better than that to check a
rally.
For instance, the first two batters up
have driven out cracking singles. Then
the next man knocks out a double and
the fourth man stings a triple. This is
q most uncomfortable spot for high
grade pitcher. No matter what he serves
his foes seem able to hit. II he Is
opposing the Tigers Of Detroit it y a
certainty that Jennings will have al OF
his men swinging their bats near the
bench If the umpire does not notice.
This exasperates a pitcher, for he is given
to understand that the whole batting
order expects to have q whirl all around.
Joss, in dole, Hits Batter.
IN d case ike tHdt L StlHk the ID8Il
at the plate if I possibly cam" said Joss.
Here is the reason: I feel that he oan
hit almost anything get near the pan.
Every pitcher has those kind Of spells.
Well, / serve him an out. wide Of the
plate. and he generally whangs away as
hard as he can. Then. il he's right
handler, shoot q fast tn-curve and IL he
doesn't draw back mighty sharply it's
a cinch it will go kerplunk on his chest
or elbow. That kind Of a waliop hurts
lot.
I'm willing to let that man get OH
first. especially il I'm in a bad hole, for
1t gives me some time to steady down
and also makes the other side get wary.
For there's nothing harder to face than
a speedy pitcher when he's wild. Look
at Reulbach early in the summer. Why.
would have my fingers crossed every
time I went up to bat, and it's 10 TO ]
I'd strike out, for I'd be afraid to stand
up to the plate, he's SO wild. That's
the system when you're going badly. III
you can inspire a little fright into your
opponents breasts your own coincidence
and, strangely enough, control, seem to
return Then if you're not too far be-
hind and your mates come to the front
and help you out you have mighty good
chance to turn the tables.

STRAHORN LOSES
A STEAM SHOVEL
Old Milwaukee Barge Was Unsca-
worthy and Tool Ia Now ut the
Bottom of the Columbia.

r. e. Strahorn's representatives
have fishing trip in store for them.
There is fine steam shovel at the
bottom of the Columbia at its juno
ton with Crab Creek, and under 40
feet of water. 1t is needed for work
at Priest Rapids and therefore the
need for fishing. The work will be
undertaken at once. The shovel was
taken by the Milwaukee railroad to
Beverly and was to have been sent
by way of the river OH one of the
old barges Of the Milwaukee railroad,
to the scene Of its labors at Priest
Rapids. The plan was all right but
the barge was not seaworthy and
when it struck the rip" at the Crab
Creek entrance It failed to carry up
its burden. There Is considerable
work to be done near the head of the
rapids and the advantage must be
taken of the next low water.
The Hanford people are also plan
ming on extensive steam shovel work
Their shovel is now at Kennewick
and will be taken up the river by
barge from that point.
