In the early part OF the fourth round
Brown was missing quite a few lefts
and Hogan failed to connect with q

earned his nickname. About the mid

ing and shot several of those left
uppercuts to the body and Jaw. Hogan
seemed puzzled at this STAGE. He be-
gan to rush in order to change things
and he ended the fourth round by land
ing a pair of fierce rights to the. jaw
after Brown had hit him a corker on
the same spot. 1t was easily Browns
round.
After missing several rights and
seemingly at sea, Hogan found himself
in the middle of the fifth round and
set sail after Brown like a wildcat.
He ~uppercutted to Browns jaw,
Strengthening up the New Yorker. who
began to come in with his head down.
Both boys were fighting hard, but Ho-
gan was delivering those bad right
hand blows all the time on the jaw.
Brown couldn't seem to avoid them. To
close a round that was easily his Ho-
gan shot a pair of rights to the jaw
with almost piIe-driver force. Valen-
tine was tough, but seemed to be losing
his bearings.
Brown won the sixth round, making
the men even up to hat time. He
opened with the usual left, but Ho-
gan retaliated this time with his favor
lite tt the jaw. At this point Brown
got his best blow so far. He hit Ho-
gan amidships with his left and turned
his man halfway round. Brown was
so anxious, though, that he missed two
or three more lefts hat should have
done damage at this point. Hogan
showed his skill and got inside of a
lot of lefts. Brown got furious, though.
and as the round feared the end he
walloped Hogan properly on the jaw.
The semi-fnal bout between ag-
sressive Tommy Houck, Of Philadel-
phia, and Jimmy Carroll. of Frisco,
hat corking bantam. was a better
bout than the main affair, as good as
hat was. Carroll won, because his
punching was the cleaner; was always
ready and did not fight foul, as Houck
did at times. The first round was
about even, the men feeling out each
other.
Carroll looked white and aepemic
and Houck rugged, and when HSuck
broke loose in the second round with
blows to the read inc body of his
opponent 1t looked bad for the coast
boy.
He came back strong in the third,
however. and landed some healthy
wallops on the Jaw and stomach of
his tough little rival. Houck forged
to the front again in the fourth with
his stiff jabbing at inf1ghting. and
even at exchanging, and had the bet
ter of the round.
But from that out, with the excep-
ton of the ninth round, during which
Houck gave his man a sound thrash
ing, and the tenth, which was a flu
riously even affair, Carroll punished
Houck severely with his left upper
cuts to the body In the region of the
heart and pit of the stomach and TO
the jaw. 1t was an elegant bout, with
plenty of gore flowing to please the
large crowd that thirsted for action.
Loud applause greeted both boys as
they left the ring.

that will cover this matter: A major
club sells a player to the minors
and receives the money for the man.
Then the player refuses to report. One

sells a player shall be compelled to
him just the same as any bust

they were purchased. Take the case
of Ward Miller, the outielder. Miller
was sold to Montreal by Cincinnati,
but demanded a salary much larger
than he was receiving with the Reds.
Miller has refused to sign. Some man
ayers or owners might sell him to an
other club, but Lichenhein says that he
will put Miller-out of organized base
before he will allow him to go
to another club.
Toe Blum, the Philadelphia newsboy,
whom we saw at the Empire a week
ago last night, met a more sturdy prop
osition in Joe Allen than he did in
Jimmy Murray, who lowered his colors
to Blum on the previous occasion.
Blum got going as fathom-
ing Allen and had his maj in a bad
way at the end of the sixth round.
That Philadelphia boy Is surely a fine
looking prospect

the Sporting Editor Of the Evening Star;
Please answer this in our valuable
paper to decide a bet: A bets B that
the Eastern League ball players for the
last two years have not played ball
Sundays. And A bets they have.
Which wins? STAR reader.
e. d. T..
Newark players have played Sunday
ball longer than that time and so have
the Providence and Montreal teams.
