The New York Mail last night IS re-
spohsible for the following:
There is one player on the Boston club
who has the fans and critics alike up in
the air. Clyde Engle. New York's hard
est working young bonehead. according
TO the fans. when he was a member Of
the Yankees. is playing third for Dono-
van and getting away with it. More than
that. he's putting up a mighty good game
there.
When he was with US Engle was al
most as weak as they make them on
ground balls. In q pair of red stockings
they can't come too fast for him Instead
OF laboring along with some 200 pounds
avoirdupois. Engle is streaking around
with only about 175. Perhaps it is this
fine physical condition that has put the
German In the running again At any
rate, Patsy Donovan and newspaper
critics travelling with the club insist that
Engle has been a lifesaver 10 the Red
Sox the past couple of weeks. when
iris Speaker fell Ergle replaced him in
the outfield and hit and helded Ike star
Rather than keep him on the bench DON
ovan has stuck him In at third base,
practically a brand-new position for him
George Stallings ridicules the idea
that a manager can make a star The
player. the chief claims. must be star
at bottom. else he can never shine as
one. If there is anything in this. Engle
kept his good qualities mighty well hid
den while he was drawing pay from the
New York club"
Boxing bouts In Maine are conducted
in a peculiar manner, and some Of the
stories that come from the Pine Tree
State have a good laugh in them. It's
good TO laugh in hot weather. so go 10 It.
A boxing mill was arranged in a small
town near Bangor the other night The
gloves ordered did not come and a hurry
call was sent TO Bangor
The law prescribes that gloves used In
all boxing contests In Maine must weigh
at least six ounces.
When the mitts arrived the promoter
discovered. 10 his disgust, they were four
ounce mits
He scratched his head in his perplexity
and then called over the sheriff OF the
county, who is required to weigh the
gloves.
The mitts were thrown into a pail OF
water, saturated. and then tossed on the
scales
They weighed eight ounces.
Those gloves are ali Wet" said the
officer OF the law.
"of course they are" replied the pro-
moter.
You would not ask the boys to go into
the ring and box with dry ones, would
your
'Oh, no; Of course not said the sher-
III. and the bout went on.
ne laws VI tAV SlaAe OF Maine pre-
scribe that bouts of but six rounds
duration shall be allowed. The promoters
put on two six-round bouts between the
same boys and evade the law
The laws say that contestants in a
| boxing match must weigh within five
pounds of each other. Lead soles 10
shoes are m order.
Window weights were placed in >the
pockets Of a contestant who was under
weight. He came up to the requirement.
AS he stepped off the scales he was asked
how he felt.
He executed a clog dance for reply A
window weight fell out Of his pocket.
The bout went on just the same.
