Nelson when he met Wolgast, at least
every one thought so, until afterwards.
Greenwald has placed himself under
the management of Teddy Murphy, the
boy manager, who made Nelson famous,
and the change has been noticeable al
ready. Murphy surely does know how
to train a man for bout, and under
his guidance Greenwald should improve
greatly. A win over Walsh would be a
big feather in the Milwaukee boys bon
net. Another boy who has tried hard
to come to the front is Jack Redmond,
who will fight Danny Goodman, of
the semifinal to Walsh and reenwald.

sembles the tough Charlie very much.

For the past 10 years there has beer
no pitcher in the National league sc

not compelled to retire before his time
| by reason of physical disability the in
dications are good that his record will
| make him the king of pitchers. Per
sonally the writer is OF opinion that
he is the best pitcher in baseball today
and the best who ever lived, all things
being taken into consideration, but like
| all personal opinions it is merely one
mans Judgment, to which exceptions
may be made by those who feel so in
clined.
When ii is remembered that in 1909
he never hit a batter with a pitched
ball, and gave but SO bases on balls in
81 games, some idea may be had of the
marvellous control which he exercised
as q professional baseball pitcher.
The four hard workers on the New
York pitching staff in 1909. who COM
bined measure Of success with their
work, were Mathewson, Ames, Raymond
and Wiltse. Together they pitched III
games OF these they lost SO and won
49, Their percentages of victories was
Sc and enough more to make 1t in
round numbers 81 for the season.
TMathewson, of course, with a record
OF % victories in 81 games, bore the
lions share of the work Wiltse was
second, with 90 victories and II de-
feats, not SO good for him as some
other years. and In part due to the fact
that he was i'll a greater part of the
summer. although he stuck to the game
to the last.
The New York club has taken no
chances, but has made a wholesale haul
through the minor leagues, selecting
about dozen candidates for the pitch
er's position for the team of 1910. If
from this number there should be de-
veloped one or two who are of National
league caliber, the New Yorks. with
their seasoned men to reckon upon, may
be able to put a force into the field
this year which shall largely increase
the chances Of the Giants against their
rivals.
Marquard, the pitcher who was Sc
cured from the Indianapolis club in
1907, by the expenditure of the sum of
sll,O0O, failed to make anything like
the success in the National league that
ne dld In the American association, and
yet the New York manager is by no
means respondent Of his ultimate per-
1ection as major league pitcher.

u A 1LWAUKEE, Wis, April 9.-Ths
N Jeffries-Johnson battle at San
Francisco July 4 next will be
a great help to the international boxing
board in an indirect way. The inter
national board was suggested some
months ago by Lord Lonsdale, of Eng
land, and was supported by editor Will
liam Will, of the London Sporting Life.
There has been much said for and little
against the board, and the indications
are that it will become a reality be-
fore another year has passed. 1t is pro-
posed now to have all the boxing critics
of the United States, also the leading
promoters and managers Of boxers.
meet at San Francisco just previous
to the big battle, and endeavor to set
tie upon a definite scale of weights
and offer whatever suggestions they
think will help to make the board a
success.
Delegates can then be named and
given full power to act at a meeting
to be held later, either in London, Paris
or New York. Such well known boxing
authorities as Bob Edgren, Tad Dorgan,
Lou Houseman, Ed. Smith, Otto Floto,
Beanie Walker, Eddie Smith. of Oak
land, William Slattery, Bill Naughton,
Steve Mahoney, Dan Saunders, Harry
Edwards. John Pollock and others have
all sanctioned the movement and all
have declared the necessity for having
uniform scale of weights for all coun-
tries. John Day, of Chicago, once iden-
titled with Jimmy Coffroth, the Frisco
promoter. is also warmly supporting
the movement and will be OUT there to
help it along. Practically all these
critics and many leading promoters will
be on hand at least two days before
the contest and they can easily meet
and talk matters over in thorough
manner. Most of the critics agree on
the scale of weights as recently adopted
by the National club, of London. the
only disagreements being in the ban
, II the weights can be adjusted ii
will then be up to the promoters In all
countries to see that they are enforced
and this constant haggling by some
boxers about titles at different weights
will be done away with. 1t will also
be a good plan. while the promoters
and critics are meeting. to have an un-
derstanding about what rules interna-
tiOnal fights should be held under. In
the states practically all important
fights are held under straight rules
that is hitting allowed with one arm
free, while in England and some other
places clean break rules prevail. Once
weights adjusted and the boxing game
will be benefited all around. II needs
nursing the same as other sports. and
when some people begin to realize that

all walks of life they will not be so for
