in the last few rounds. Maloney tried
to emulate Ahearn in the tigging bust

spectators had the pleasure Of seeing
the three men in the ring cutting the

WHAT THE PANAMA men

Holyoke, February, 15-Fred Wink
ler's baseball scout in the canal zone
has sent word that he has eighteen
men on the string to send north for
tryout. These pick and shovel ar
lists are all represented as being hum
mers, but it will take some money
to get them. Winkler confesses that it
VIII cost him $50 a man for the Is if
they make good in Holyoke the COM
ing season. Playing ball, Of course.
That $50 represents the amount it will
cost to transport the junk to the up
river burg. Hard times are supposed
to exist now in Holyoke, so the doz-
en- and half will find it hard trying to
land a job with pick and shovel if
they fall down in their baseball ex-
am; nations. Besides Winkler being
business man will not lose a cent if
some of his men are drafted by the
city for cleaning the swill barrels. He
agrees to pay the $50 man on the
understanding that each proves that
he is a ball player The burden of
proof is on the bod carrier. But If
the hod carrier can play ball some
what, then the Holyoke manager will
pay his board until the season opens
and his pay too, after season starts
Holyoke insists on giving the laboring
man a chance at baseball. Down with
capital.
