honors in his bout with Ad Wolgas'

faster than wolgast, and to 1T wa,
of thinking has q more ~danserou.
punch. He succeeded in making
Knockout Brown wobble-something
That Wolgast couldn't do in either of
his bouts with Morsan's Dutchman.
Brown could not make Hogan rattle
with his blows, but we recall very
distinctly how Wolgast stood in the
middle of that ring at the National
Sporting Club shaking from head to
foot as n result of a blow from Browns
fist.
Just doping things out, Hogan should
win the ten-round bout tomorrow night.
bu. we still think Wolgast Is the
goods ever the long route.

the greatest pair of backs In the
United States. Star backs are as
necessary to a championship soccer

All Shrubb is about to retire from
the running game. He has told his
friends that as soon as he gets another
crack at Billy Cueal he'll say good-by
TO the boards and cinder path.
Shrubb is worth about $50, 900 and has
a fine home Inc family at Toronto.
Shrubb is looking around for a business
TO engage in. 1t Is not impossible that
he and the famous John DAILY will buy
a ~roedhouse neal New York shortly.
The punishment melted out to IAN
ager McGinnity by President Edward
@. Barrow, while light, in our opin-
ion, shows the mercy in Mr.. Barrow's
character and we'll never c~riticise that
virtue because, after all, there is
strength in it.
A repetition of the offense, however,
by any player OF manager in the league
should warrant a more severe punish
ment. Mr.. Barrow's first fine may be
commended in many ways. but notably
for Its mercy.
Abe Prieskel, Battling Huriey's great
admirer and adviser, dropped in for
awhile the other day, n as usual had
a lot of boxing talk to unfold. Abe is
a sharp fellow. He learned that Sailor
Burke is using a new kind of glove
in training. He inquired, and dis
covered that the mitt was pneu-
matte. This glove is said to protect
the hand so it is absolutely impossible
to hurt that member In spite of that
they seem to give a boxers punch a
sting" Prieskel IS going to buy a set
from Instructor Kennedy, who invent
ed the glove, for Battling Hurley to
use.
The Dixie Kid-Willie Lewis fight,
scheduled for last Saturday night in
Paris, vas postponed until next Satur-
day to give the me- more time TO
train.
A further ribute to the worth of
Johnny Nee is this: He is a left-hand
hitter. Sunday he switched to right
against a left-hand pitcher and made
three safe wallops.
To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
In regards to the article you a in
the Saturday Evening STAR. l do not
think II was necessary to mention
about bringing the ladies dow to the
park. I have been to a number OF
bail parks, but in any 1 have not seen
such a beautiful ladies' parlor as l
saw at the opening day at the Newark
baseball park. | think Mr.. McGinnity
tries to make it as pleasant as he can
for US. AS Mr.. McGinnity lost his head
las you say, / think the ladies will for
give him, as he certainly must of had
a hard days work to arrange that
parade as he did. Hoping 1 am not
taking UP too much space, / remain,
yours, A LADY FAN.
We think it was necessary to men
ton the fact that the scene that took
place at the ball park Friday was not
conducive TO having women attend the
games. II you don't, you don't agree
with us, that's all. We're sorry we
can't agree with you. President Bar
row didn't forgive.-Ed.

TO the Sporting Editor Of the Evening Star:
Will you kindly decide the following:
A batter is at the bat and he has two
strikes against him. He then hunts
the ball, which goes fair. Is he out for
bunting on the last strike?
