pitchers work well.
George Browne has been making
many errors of late, but 1t wal
through no fault of his, for he has a
bad hand. He is suffering from what Il
known to ball players as stone bruise
on his left hand. He is in agony every
time he catches the ball. To make mat
tiers worse. he caught cold in that
strong right whip of his in Montreal
but he is hitting better every day, and
his injuries are improving.
George is one of the most consistent
binglers on the team. Benny Meyer,
who has been on the bench because he
also had a bad hand, as the result OF
being hit ON the throwing hand by
Pitcher Dubuc at Montreal, is also on
the road to recovery. Benny was in
such a bad way thai he could not close
his hand on the bat. Bill Louden is
carefully nursing his bad finger. When
Meyer gets back at second and Bill
Louden's hurts heal, the winning COM
bination which went so well for a few
days may be set in motion again.

BILLY LEWIS VERY
EARNESTLY TRAINING
FOR KURTz BOUT
Former Realizes He Must Be in
Great Shape to Battle
With Ghetto Boy.

DILLY LEWIS, the local boy, is
d preparing these days at Troxler's
Central Institute for the most i'm
portant bout of his career-a battle
with Young Kurtz-to be held at
Browns Gymnasium next Tuesday
night.
Lewis is heart and soul in his work
and is getting himself ;nto the best
shape of his life. Billy is a very strong
young man fights all the time while
he is in the ring, never giving his op-
ponent a bit of rest. To fight that kind
of battle a boxer must be in elegant
shape.
Lewis knows that. and with that end
in view never missed a stroke of work
In his training that would make him a
better boy.
Billy realizes that in Kurtz he is
meeting a tough customer, a boy who
is improving all the time and who has
the wallop that watts one to sleep, il
landed in the right place.
That is the reason Lewis is so strict
with his training this time. lie is get
ting himself like a rock. He goes
through all prize fighters pet indoor
stunts from the weights to boxing,
putting particular stress on the use OF
the medicine ball. Lewis lies fiat on
his back and throws the ball from the
floor to a training partner, who lies In
the same position. Billy claims this
exercise gives him great strength of
shoulders and arms, whence all the
power of his blows come There is one
thing about Billy Lewis-his earnest
ness Before Billy amounted to my
thing much, pugilistically, he trained
just as he does now The writer re-
members one day very we'll when Lewis
quietly entered Kline's gymnasium,
where he had a locker, Lewis. without
noticing a single man In the place,
went through an hours work. Several
in the place remarked about the earn
estness of the boxer and some predict
ed hat some day that quality would
bring Lewis to some position in the
pugilistic ranks.
Lewis's battle will be for the welter-
weight championship of New Jersey.
which Kurtz holds by virtue of his
victory over Kid Wilson. who heat
Billy Leary for the honors.
In order TO get himself in the tough
est shape, Lewis Is going 10 take on
Billy Allen, at the National A. c., of
Brooklyn, Saturday, in a ten-round
main bout. Billy expects to get n good
workout for his Kurtz bout with Allen.

statement Of a representative of a base

in use,
According to the factory represent
alive the present lively ball. which pro-
duced 357 runs In three days In the

the baseball powers that there was not
enough batting to suit the fans" Now

games are too long because Of the
great increase in batting,
II is not intended to revert to the old
ball which produced 80 many few-hit
contests and made many championship
affairs merely a battle between pitch
ers, but to strike a happy medium
about on the middle ground between
the old ball and the new.
