= OAlE writers claim mat Il man
loses a fight by making a certain
weight; for instance. Joe Coster
in his fight with frankie Burns last
night. If Coster weakened himself
making III pounds it shows that Joe
is not a bantam, for Burns has fought
at lis with Johnny Coulon. the BAN
tam champion who has fixed the weight
at tina notch. Burns loses nothing in
his win over Coster by the weight eX7
cuss.
Though we approve of Ban Johnson's
plan of allowing photographers on the
field to picture ball games, yet we cam
not see where he came in to oppose
the N .tional Commissions order for
bidding all photographers on the field
when he at Philadelphia yesterday told
a moving-picture man to remain after
the newspaper camera men had been
chased. The moving picture stunt is a
business proposition with a cash re-
turn, while the newspapers have no
direct cash return on pictures,
O.
Tommy Andreachs, the local bantam
weight, has been matched to fight~Kid
White, of Brooklyn, at the National
A. c. in Brooklyn Saturday night. The
bout was to have taken place last Sat
urday night, but White had it post
poued.
The game between the Giants and
Yankees yesterday, though the fourth.
will not be the last the players will
share an. said Hughey Jennings, in
New York yesterday. The Tiger leader
declared that in 1907, when the Tigers
and Cubs played a Thinning tie game
as an opener, the players shared in the
profits of the fifth game.
1t was learned on the best of au-
thority in Philadelphia that President
Jacob Stein. of the Buffalo Club. had
offered the job of managing the Bisons
in 1911 to George T. Stallings, formerly
of the Yankees. 1t looks like a GER
tainty that Stallings will accept in
due course of time.
Those who want to see a fast little
hight should go to see Young Shugro,
the Jersey City boy, fight Packey
Hommey at Browns tonight.
This Shugro is a promising boy. If
he gets away with Hommey his ad-
vance will be very rapid.
o.
The way this Fletcher third league"
story insists on cropping up and the
manner in which organized baseball
treats the idea shows that, after all,
there may be something in the plan, at
that.
Since 1905 the team that recorded the
first victory in the worlds series cap
tured the necessary four. That gives
added hope to Athletic hackers.

Jim Savage and Jumbo Wells will
probably fight at the Long Acre Club
