MANY EAGER TO FIGHT
PAPKE ON HIS RETURN.

Now that Adolphus Wolgast has re-
moved the last obstacle In the way Of
his unquestioned claim to the light
weight championship of the world, and
has announced a six months retire
ment, or until other victims are
brought forward to slaughter, the In
terest of ring followers turns to the
doings of one William Papke OF IlIi-
nois.
Papke is the self styled middleweight
king Of the universe, and as he Is due
back soon from a triumphant tour
around the world, 1t is natural to sup
pose that when he does set foot on his
native shores things will begin to hum
In the division over which be has be-
come dictator.
There are several good boys in this
country who are eager to tilt with
Papke for the worlds crown, chief
among them being Frank klaus, a
bear cat from Pittsburgh Wild Bob
Moha, the original cave man of NIL
waukee; Jack Dillon, an Indiana cy-
clone; Jimmy Clabby, a laughing wiz
ard who Is eager to joust with all 1853
Founders, and Johnny Thompson, the
Illinois farmer, who vigorously dis
putes Papke's claim to championship
honors and sets forward In support of
his contention a twenty round decision
that he received over Papke in farof
Australia.
In addition to the foregoing there are
a number of husky middles who insist
on being considered in the running.
Eddie MeGoorty of Oshkosh, Hugo
Kelly, Chicago; Jimmy Gardner and
Jack (Twinl Sullivan have champion
ship aspirations and their followings
are large ones.
In all probability Papke will not re-
main idle long after his return home.

Fish Tales (

FIuke are very seldom sought for
by he fishermen that go out from
Morgan's Station, but Of late some
of the captains are doing more hsh-
ing along that line. Yesterday Cap
tain Wood Apologize and Billy Hart
mann, with a party of friends, start
ed from Hartmann's Hotel for SANDY
Hook to try for 1uke. 1t Is a two
hour run from the hotel. but that
didn't bother Wood or Billy.
The weakfish are not plentiful Inc
the fact is causing considerable
worry among the Jersey fishermen.
The bluefish may stay with US all
but 1t would look more
promising If the weak1sh would.
come along a trife better. Tuesday
the best ASKING was in Keyport
Cove. on the Jersey side, and Great
Kills, on the Staten Island side. AT
the latter place some or the catches
made from r~owboats were as nigh as
sixty and there wouldn't be a dozen
bluefish in the lot.
Fishing seems to continue as good
as ever in the bay. many boats going
out to try their luck yesterday. Fish
seem to be running good Just on n
first quarantine buoy, the majority
of the fishermen pulling in lots OF
weaks and blues there. Catches as
reported yesterday were as follows:
Ben Rosen, of Newark, ten blues and
seven weaks; Charles Williams and
Iohn Petersen, from Platnfeld,
eight blues and six weakfsh; a party
from Westfeld, sixteen blues and
twelve weaks; Fred Johnson, of this
city. seven blues and weaks; VIII
liam Speir. of Metuchen. three blues
and five weaks. w. F. VanPelt,
from whose boathouse they went
out, reports that he expects a big
day In the fishing line today, many
boats having been reserved.

COODWILLS To
PLAY MAURERS
Some Battle is Expected on
Sunday Afternoon.

The Goodwill Association team
did not meet the Tottenville Boys
Brigade team last Sunday, but they
have an attraction for this week on
a local diamond which ought to
prove to be a first class game OF ball.
They will meet the crack MauTer A.
c., which Is making such a rep
for itself in this section of the coun-
try. Every team around here is try
ing to book games with the Maurers
and 1t was fortunate that the Good
Wills were able to bring them to this
city.
The Goodwills played their last
game with the Mcclellan Engine
Company and they came out in the
lead at the end of the second inning
when the game was stopped on &C
count of other attractions. They
have not been asleep lately but have
been on the job and they claim they
will show form next Sunday when
the two teams clash. They have
been paying particular attention to
base running, it is said, and they
will do some stunts along that line
in their future games.
The contest or Sunday promises
to be one of the best of the season
for both aggregations are in the best
of condition according to reports
from their respective camps The
announcement of the game has
cansed considerable interest to be
aroused and 1t is likely that a large
crowd Of fans will witness the game
on Sunday.

HUNT DENIES
LEAVING nine
Saints Left Fielder Not
Going With Maurers.

The rumor which has been preva-
lent for the past few days that
Johnny Hunt, the fast left fielder Of
the Saints, would leave the team and
join the Maurer A. c., Is untrue, he
says. He has been considering the
change, however, and was trying to
decide which team he would play for
when he heard that Ellie would pitch
for the Saints as a regular member
of the team. He says that this made
him decide to remain with the team
he has been playing with throughout
the season.
The other members of the team ex-
pressed satisfaction at Hunts decis-
ion and are unable to understand
why he should consider joining the
Maurers. 1t would be a good thing
if all the Saints players would remain
on the team until the final contest
with the Franklins, which Is to be
held in the near future. That would
make 1t SO that the two teams were
practically the same throughout the
entire series.

COBB HARD To PLEASE,
SAYS "SILk" OL0UGHLIN

Silk O'Loughlln, the American league
umpire, says Ty Cobb is the hardest
man in the league for an umpire to
please. Cobb, Silk says, gets into more
close plays than any other player. He
takes big chances, generally has to be
tagged and gives the baseman only q
foot to touch him.
"They say Cobb spikes more players
than any one else," said SILK. IF that
Is true it's because he has more
chances to spike basemen. he has ten
chances to spike basemen where most
players have one.
81 have been on top OF many plays
In which Cobb was the runner, and l
never saw him spike anybody inten-
~tionally. Ty is always going away
from the baseman. If the man with
the ball Is in front of the base Ty goes
behind 1t. and If the baseman is be-
hind the base Ty goes in front"
