~ HE story crops out that Eddie
Graney will finally be the third
man in the ring and that no less
ka man h Richard is responsible for
the leak. Tex and Jeffries were talk
ing in Frisco last night. Jeff asked
Rickard, $50 the story goes, if he would
referee. Quit your kidding" Tex Is
ssreported to have said. You know as
! well as / do that Graney will be the
third man in the ring when you meet
Z Johnson" If that talk is true, it's
pretty hard for a fellow who wants to
believe that the fighters are honest to
do so. Why all this mystery about a
F., matter that should be open and above
board? Most people believe the fight
will be on the level, but many times
they are assailed by doubts of huge
proportions.
jeff showed himself to be in good con-
dition. The pictures hat are shown
of him, however, do not make him ap-
pear the demon he was once, In fact,
he looks anything but the athlete that
must trim Jack Johnson.
o
Stanley Ketchel in his most recent
fights and his battle last night with
Willie Lewis showed that he rescued
himself from the fast pace just in the
nick of time. That boy must have a
fierce wallop.
"Joe' McGinnity is very sick. One
of the New York papers-the Evening
Ma~il-yesterday published his baseball
obituary, stating even Christy Mat
hadn't anything on the Iron
Man" and the Tiger was the
greatest pitcher baseball ever produced.
The latter statement is not too much
praise. There are few in h big
leagues who have anything on him,
syen now. BY hat I mean there are
not many in the big leagues who can
come back to the Eastern League and
make the record he has.
o
Johnny Conlon and frankie Burns
the Jersey City boy, are matched TO
meet again for ten ounds at 10
pounds. They meet June s at the EN-
pire A. G.
Tim Savage and Jim Stuart were al
most matched to go ten rounds at the
National Sporting Club, of New York,
hut the Orange mans physical condi-
tion prevented him from taking the
bout.
The referee of the Municipal A. c.
will be chosen next week and Manager
John M. Lederer promises that he'll ne
A. good one. Applications for member
ship cards are coming in by the hun
dreds. Secretary George A.. Roehm
mailed nearly 800 of them yesterday.
This club should be a success. The
plans being made by Matchmake
Benny Miller certainly speak for sue
:. cess, with Patsy Kline, Tommy o'Toole
and such stars on h program.
~. ~. s,or,,r. ra,,or Of the Evening Star:
A man is on first base, a man on Sec
pnd base, and a man in the batter's
box. The pitcher las got the batter
for two strikes and three balls, and on
delivering the ball to the plate the
I man on second endeavors to steal third,
but the umpire calls -four balls on the
batter. n catcher throws the ball to
third. and the third baseman touches
! the runner coming from second and the
! umpire, on seeing the mar touched, de-
: cIares him out. Is this man entitled
TO the base or is he out, as the umpire
declared? Respectfully yours.
A PLAYER.
He Is entitled to the base.-Ed.
