If gore and knockdowns are what the
fans of this section want for their tis~
tic sport, then the amateurs are here
to stick Promoter McCarey's opening
venture last night with the short bout
boys proved highly entertaining, and
every participant on the card contrib
uted his pool of claret to the general
puddle.
The card. taken as a whole, was one
of the best of its kind every offered
anywhere. With the exception of the
high comedy pulled by Billy Enrich
and Jack Hupps, the rest of the boys
seemed to know their business and
waded through their sessions willingly.
The Beryl Hatton- Battling Chico affair
had rather "half and half" look put
aside from that everything was lovely.
For a windup nothing better than the
Tony Rose-Jack Walsh fray could have
been arranged. Both men shaped up
like modern Adonises, the big black
smith having it on his 6usky opponent
lin looks. Rose did all the clean hit
ting for the first three rounds, and then
Walsh began to realize he was there to
do some infighting. Rose hung on, save
when he was forced to break, but al
ways came into his clinch with clean
punch to some part of his opponents
head. Walsh came fast toward the end
and at the conclusion of the sixth
period another round was ordered. In
this Rose went to the front again with
hard smashes to the stomach which
caused his man to drop for the count
and then for eight. Both men were on
their feet at the end, with Tony the
better.
sLUGGERs COME FIRST
The opening bout found Victor Ber-
sante and Ad Carey engaged in nice
slugging match. The former had bit
the better of it and was awarded a
verdict at the end of four rounds.
Kid Fowler and Fred Schuard were
forced to go an extra period before a
decision favoring the latter could be
arrived at. Schuard was knocked down
in the second, but proved too strong
and came back to have the little tow
head wobbling at the close.
The Emerich-H -Hupps show was very
much to the mustard, the referee stop
ping it in the third. when Hupps
started to reel around the ring.
Beryl Hatton and Battling Chico put
up the educated" part of the card
With the exception of the fifth round
Hatton had the better of every period
by a slight shade but the crowd could
not see a decision favoring him and
booed their protest.
Gus Anderson, a rangy sorrel top,
had a fit opponent in George silver
until the second round. Then the Swede
found an opening for a neat right cross,
and there was no need to go through
the formality of tolling ten over liver.
Eddie Cert showed lot of class
against Fred Barrett and won after
having taken but half a dozen punches
in as many rounds. Barrett was there
like Joe Grim and took. an awful wal
Looping, but apparently was unable to
get in action with his hands and for
the most part acted as punching bag
for the far cleverer Cert.

BASEBALL MAGNATES TO

NEW YORK, Dec 9.-The gathering Of the
big baseball magnates for their annual meet

vance there seems to be less worry among
the club presidents than there was a few
weeks ago regarding the Of ID. A.

O. STANAGE
COMES BACK

Oscar Stanage gave an exhibition
OF catching. Thursday. something
like the rare form he showed during
the early weeks of the present sea
son. Stanage worked well for the
Tiges until the latter part OF June
when the hot weather put crimp in
HIS effectiveness. When the sun
boiled out of the heavens, Stanage
seemed TO lose his pepper.
Yesterday he was all TO the mus
tard In the seventh inning when
Murphy and Davis tried the double
steal the Athletics captain was nip
ped at the plate with great ease.
Baker and Davis attempted the
double steal in the sixth and Baker
was caught at third on perfect
throw. Murphy hunted down the
first base line in the second inning
and Stanage pounced on the ball with
the agility of a much lighter man.
Stanage ought TO be the best catch
er in the American league. A new
season starts next spring and Tiger
fans are hoping he works all year as
well as he did this spring and yester-
day.

this. and further said that he would
not enter into further negotiations
with the stock yards boy.
Mcfarland has admitted that IL Is
practically impossible for him To make
weight necessary to meet Wolgast as
real lightweight. Wolgast can fight
at about 1875 and still be strong. but
Mcfarland has taken on weight
within the last year. and II Is not be
