ATTLING HURLEY. the Passaic
demon" meets Willie Beecher

-
n demon" meets Willie Beecher
at the Long Acre Club tomorrow
night. This should be one. Of those
sluggng matches that would be well
staged at Paddy McGuigan's for
ferocity. Hurley has a tough customer
to beat in Beecher who can stand
fierce beating We think he will be
called on to take wallopping, for
Willie is not fast enough to keep out
of the way OF Hurley's swinging arms.
There isn't faster puncher agoing
than Hurley when he gets started We
doubt that Battling's blows will be
enough to put out Beecher in ten
rounds. Beecher should deliver some
hard wallops, but it takes a Murphy
or a Goodman to land the telling blows
those short, snappy jolts that slow
up a Hurley a little. The fight will be
one worth seeing.
Hurley meets Matty Baldwin in Bos
ton on the 9th of this month. An
effort is being made to match the Pas
sale boy with Knockout Brown at the
National after this go. This go win
probably be arranged.
Larry Sutton tells funny story as
to how he discovered Third Baseman
O'Der, of the Syracuse team, whom he
drafted for Atlanta, of the Southern
League.
II went into a newspaper Office at
Syracuse to meet a sporting editor"
said Larry. What Will you give for
the best man in the New York State
League Larry?' asked the sporting edi-
tor right off the reel
tsnb dnp't know rpnlip0 Larry
"Who is he?"
The sporting editor wouldn't tell.
"All right" said Larry
The scout went to the game that
afternoon, and got near the sporting
editor.
When O'Dell made a brilliant play
soon after the game began, the scribe
cheered Justify, saying: There's the
best player in the New York State
League. Observation by Larry con-
firmed the writer's Judgement and SUIT
ton put in draft for the man.
o
1t seems to the writer that the Essex
County Park Commission, with such an
expanse of playing field as they have at
their disposal, could provide a prac-
tise ground for the High School foot
ball squad. 1t is true that baseball
teams still desire the use of the dia-
monds. and it is now their season. 1t is
clear though that a section could be
set aside for the High School boys with
out causing any great commotion.
o
Mel Sheppard is accused by reports
of laying down for sum of money
in the senior metropolitan champion
ships held recently. The charges are
said to come from within the 1rs<
American A. C. Either the club or
Sheppard should be shown up in this
case.
Tommy Andreach has been taken
under the care OF Danny Sullivan. He
fought his first fight under Dannys
supervision at Browns last night with
Charley Burns, whom he says he beat
in six rounds in the semi final. He will
box at Browns again,
o
Billy Lewis came in today to say that
he had been sick since Monday and
that he was in no condition to fight at
McGuigan's tomorrow night or at the
National Sporting Club Friday night.
