Columns have been written about the
witty come-backs of Tim Hurst. occa-

to fntimidate him with a few forceful re-

Special Correspondence of The Star.
SYDNEY. Australia. December 3, 1910.
Cyclone Johnny Thompson of Sycamore,
ILL.,, added another Australian victory to
his credit Saturday night when he
stopped Hughie Michigan, the lightweight
champion of this country, in the fifth
round, Mehegan's seconds throwing up the
sponge when they saw at the end Of the
fifth round that their man had no chance
against his heavier opponent. Michigan
was the cleverer Of the two, but his SCI
ence awaited him nothing against the bull
dog rushes of the American.
There was a large crowd present, the
largest of the season, over 5000 paying
admissions to see the bout. The crowd,
however, did not like the idea of Thomp-
son being overweight. Johnny discov-
cred few days before the fight that he
could not make the lightweight limit, SO
he hit upon the idea of FORGETTING $3.50
and going in at catch weights, which he
did. He was nearer a middleweight than
a lightweight, while Michigan was about
1873 pounds. Michigan took Johnny's
forfeit and also a beating.
Set Fast Clip.
Iho men started OH at IuTlOuS Clp,
Thompson working for the body in the
clinches and Michigan trying to stand
off and poster Johnny with his straight
left jabs. For time Hughie held john
ny off with his jabs. but only for a very
short time, when the Yank began to get
in close and pound Mehegan's body and
send in an overland right to the face
whenever Hughie let his guard down. The
second, third, fourth and fifth rounds
found Thompson doing all the heavy
work, with Michigan shooting out his
face occasionally, but with no damage
done, for the American ignored all his
blows and bored in for more. Johnny
was altogether too strong for the clever
Michigan and simply wore him down In
short order. 1t was good sense on the
part of Mehegan'S seconds to throw up
the sponge, as he would hardly have been
able to weather through another round.
Thompson claims that the weather
here has kept him from making the
weight; that the salt air at Botany Bay
has tended to increase his weight, no
matter how hard he works, and Ray
Bronson says it has affected him the
same way AS result, Johnny has au-
thorized the stadium management to Sc
cure opponents for him anywhere from
$50 to 100 pounds. After that Johnny
saws he will be prepared to put up
hig forfeit that he can make the weight
for Michigan and arrange another match.
His next opponent may be Ed Williams.
whom Billy Papke fought in october.
and also Ted Whiting of Brisbane,
Queensland middleweight.

PERTINENT COMMENT ON
HAPPENINGS In SPORTDOM

of self-confidence when he broke into fast
company at st. Louis. He came from the
coast as a pitcher, and about the first
thing he did after reaching town was to
lease house for two years for himself
and sister.
When Pat Tebeau. then manager of the
st. Louis team, heard of this he felt sure
that he had star player for 1t took
nerve for kid to lease house for two
years, even before he had been in a uni
form of the club he was to play for. But
Donlin made good, not as pitcher, but
as q hitter.
Kid Elberfeld has been in the game too
long to consider the signing Of his con-
tract of any great Importance. Though
the document offered him this year by the
berfeld has neither signed or delivered it
to headquarters as yet. He explains this
by saying that when the terms are all
right he loses interest in the contract
and that he usually allows it to lie about
his home until the club makes a request
to have him bring it in, which is some
times not until after the season is well
under way.
Though Owner Hedges of the Browns
has discovered that he had more friends
in St. Louis since his announcement that
he would sell than he ever suspected be-
fore, and would for that reason not hesi-
tate to remain in control of the club, 1t
goes without saying that he must vacate
the berth. Hedges probably knows this
better than any one else. In the eyes of
the powers that be Hedges is an unde
sirabe member of the American League.
1t is believed that the league will be
benefited by his retirement, and whenever
that opinion has existed concerning a
club owner in the Ban johnson circuit he
has been retired, friends or no friends.
It is to this system of conducting the
leagues affairs that it owes much of it's
success.

HATCHET|TES START
WORK ON THE TRACK
Prospects Are Not Very Bright
for the Turning Out of
a Good Team.

Track work did not start any too
auspiciously yesterday for the Hatch
cities. only four or five men answering
the first call for candidates. Very lit
tie over three weeks remains sow be-
if the Buff and Blue expects to do any
thing worth while in it's own games 1t
is time it is getting to work.
There are some good men in the uni
versity. and somebody ought to bring
a little influence to bear and get them
out for the team. Several have signf-
fed their intention to give their serv-
ices toward developing a good aggre-
CATION, but as yet their promises have
not materialized.
When the interclass meet was held
last fall there was every promise that
the Hatchetites would turn out squad
that would give q good account OF it
self against any opponent. but the men
have failed to come out now that the
real work has started. Matters are
expected to take a turn for the Oct
ter within the next day or SO, as there
are several good men who 1t is known
for a certainty will be out by the last
of the week.
At present the best men who nave
showed up are Bryant and Zeh. two old
Central High runners. Both OF them
made big regulations under Bill Foley
and it is hardly likely that they have
forgotten all that the old wise one
taught them. Both are distance men.
but it is more than probable that Bryant
will try for the relay four. Zeh Will
stick to the mile.
Capt Fleming has been in training for
some time and will endeavOr to annex
the two-mile run in his schools meet
next month. 1t is a sure thing that ne
will give anybody who beats him mighty
hard race, as there are very rev men
who are. better at the distance than he.
lev will be out shortly for the dashes.
Trumbower made quite a reputation for
himself before coming to George WASH
ington and much is expected Of him.
Porter and Langley are two foot ball
men. The former has done some run
ming in the local high schools and 1t Is
said that Langley is good both In the
dashes and the quarter. II he proves to
be q good 44O-man he will probably be
used on the relay team.
Tucker and Hodgkins are out for the
shot put.
Brady, Farmer. Smith, Langley, Bryant
and Bailey will be the quota from which
the relay team will probably be picked.
Bailey ran on the team last year and
should show some improvement this sea-
son. Bryant ought to be able to do some
good work at the distance. Farmer will
more than likely be the mainstay of the
four. The ex-Tech star ran mighty well
for the Mercury Athletic Club last winter
and under two good coaches ought to do
some stunts on the path worth looking at.
Ralph Gamble and Jack Carpenter. who
have promised to come out to coach the
squad, have not yet showed up. but it is
probable that they will put in their APP
pearance tomorrow.
Very good quarters have been obtained
for the men to train in, and they will be
used during the year by the team except
those who are doing their work down at
the Y. NJ. C.. A.

another clean-cut victory to his string
last night at the stadium, when he put

clever sparring. Higgins never had a
look-in for the verdict, being outclassed
from beginning to end. Several times
Higgins made a fash, but it lasted only
for a brief space, and usually when
Jimmy was preparing a fresh attack.
The promoters are now puzzled as 10
whom to match against Clabby, for he
has cleaned up all the best men OF mis-
class, and the chances are he will be
obliged to give away weight now to get
more matches.
The crowd was not anywhere near
trouble the week previous over Johnny
Thompson weighing over twenty pounds
more than Michigan. whom he fought.
Dick Arnst, the champion Oarsman OF
the world. was in Clabby's corner and
received an ovation.
Opened Up Strong.
In the first round Clabby opened strong
and went after his man from the jump.
1t was good, fast sparring. with Jimmy
doing the loop-the-loop in fine style, but
the referee warned them against too
much infighting. and Jimmy cut out that
Higgins q severe beating with lefts and
rights to the face, right chops and up
percuts. At the bell Mark was very
tired. but game. 1t was all Jimmy in
the third, and Mark took another drub-
bling. Higgins landed a few to the face,
but he had no steam to his blows. and
received five times the number in re-
turn. He was glad to hear the bell ring.
The fourth was repetition of the third,
with Clabby doing all the work, and he
was q bit tired at the bell from his
own exertions. The fifth found Jimmy
on the job again, and Mark suffered a
severe beating. Toward the bell Clabby
caught Mark q hard right to the jaw
and nearly floored him. but the end of
the round saved him. Mark was on the
defensive in the sixth and covered up
all through. 1t was the same in the
seventh, with Jimmy doing all the execu-
ton and forcing his opponent all over the
arena.
The end came in the eighth. Jimmy
let go his left to the jaw and Mark
made flash and sent three to Clabby's
face, but it was only flash, for the
Yankee sent a left to the body and a
short right to the jaw, and it was all
over. Mark tried to get up at the count
of ten, but could not. He was a game
fellow, but outclassed.

While there was some dissatisfaction eX-
pressed by the crowd which witnessed the
Langford-Jeanette fight in Boston Tues
day night, because it was the impression
that Langford could have put his oppo-
nent away long before the limit was
reached yet his showing was great I'M
provement over that made by Jack Jonn-
son again Jeanette in the several times
he fought him.
No fighter adds much to his reputation
by beating jeanette. because he can hard
" be rated higher than the third class
and yet johnson once insisted that Lang
ford beat jeanette before he would con-
slider making q match with him.
There has never been any doubt about
Landlords ability to do this. yet his VIC
tory Tuesday will bring him no nearer
match with johnson than if he had not
fought.
1t is evident that johnson does not care
for any 81 Langford's game. Whether
he fears the outcome of such match or
whether he realizes that a fight between
two colored heavyweights would not be

the fact remains that he can be charged

baby for some years. and especially since

Surprise has been expressed in certain
quarters because Clyde Milan did not
show up we'll among the players who
drove in runs last year. and yet this is
not at all strange. for Milan leads the

reason already stated.

he will be given the preference most all

facts bear it out. that players Of this dis
position are not affected by conditions.
The opposing coachers can't rattle him
and he cares little for the taunts of the
bleachers. He is entirely wrapped up in
himself, thinks he is a great player. and
consequently stands much better chance
to make good. The player of the "silence
