This is one they are telling on Sailor
Burke, the big bloomer who occasion
ally finds a job at one of the New
York fight clubs stopping the other
fellows wallops. Burke showed lots
of gameness in a bout with Frank
Mantel the other night. and this
brought to mind the time he produced
all kinds of yellow. He was boxing
Billy Papke at the National Sport
ing club and Billy was putting them
over truer than gunner on man
of-war. The sailor was trying to
hang on for his life, and once, back
ing Papke to the ropes, threw his
on the rope on one side of Papke and
the left on the other side. Burke
wouldn't let go when commanded by
Charley White, and the official warned
him and threatened to disqualify him.
Hurry up, hurry up" groaned Burke

high school, having returned home af-
ter its defeat at the hands of the Los
Angeles high school team, elected q
captain for next years team. The
players chose Ernest Riesling, who has
played center three-quarters on the
team all this year. Resling succeeds
his brother Bertram in the captaincy
and his teammates are confident that
he will be able to do as much for them
in the way OF leading and coaching
the team as his brother has done dur
ing last year. Ernest is younger
than Bertram and has one more year
in high school after this one. Bertram
will enter Stanford next year, where
he will undoubtedly make good in the
rugby game.

Bowling enthusiasts and owners of
the many alleys in Los Angeles are
scheduled to get together next Wednes-
day at 232 German building for the
purpose of forming a new class c
league. The organization is being
framed especially to favor the younger
pin smashers, who find things too hard
in faster company, and at least sixteen

The program for the next Olympic
games, to be held in Sweden in 1912,
has just been given out. 1t is of inter-
est to American athletes because they
will find several new events added TO
the regular Olympic schedule as it was
run off at Paris, st. Louis, Athens and
London. Some of the new events are
so different from the standard that our
athletes will need to start special train
ing if they want to take part in them.
Besides all of the regular short and
long distance and hurdle and cross
country races, the fencing, cycling,
gymnastics, horseback riding, lawn ten
mis-, yachting, wrestling, shooting, div
ing and swimming, there will be water
polo, association football and rowing.
Horace Fogel his signed two pitching
recruits They are Fred ]. Wilhelm
and Steve Girard. Wilhelm is a south
paw, who, with Canton last season,
simply burned up the o. and =. circuit.
In the matter of striking out batsmen
he is a reputed Rube Waddell. Girard
was with the Phillies few weeks to-
ward the close of the season ana
showed such class that Doom was anx-
ious to further try him out.
In Pitcher Jack Ryan of Minneapolis
critics of the American Association be-
lieve Charley Ebbets has picked up
ten-strike for his Dodgers. Ryan was
one of the most successful pitchers IN
the association last season, being ex-
celled only by Long Tom Hughes, VINO
reverts to washington. 1t is under
stood that Ebbets will have to hand
over several of his surplus players TO
Cantillon as the price of Ryan.
Jiggs Donohue, a few years ago one
of the foremost first basemen In the
American league, may be tried out next
spring by Comiskey If the latter is able
to obtain full claim to the veterans
services. Jiggs was one of the greatest

was disposed of to Washington two
years ago when his batting slumped
away below major league form. Dono-
hue claims to have been afflicted with
eve weakness, which he asserts mas
been but recently cured.
Ed Geers. the veteran trainer and
driver of harness horses, heads the list
for the season of 1910 with total Of
$45.445.
Tommy Murphy. who but few sea-
sons ago was limiting his racing to the
half-mile tracks, was a close second to
Geers, with a total of $42,410 won in
purse money. OF course the fact that
Geers was injured at Grand Rapids and
that Frank Jones drove number OF his
horses at that meet as well as it Kala-
maZoo, with Billie Snow uD behind
others, materially cut down the total
amount of earnings credited to Geers.
