Realizing that there were more
white hopes" in America than Office
seekers around election time, Con
O'Kelly has retired, for all Of which
we are much obliged to Con. 1t isn't
because he has given up hope, for he
is. still strong with the optimistic
stuff, but the vigorous training he has
been doing has pulled down on his
immense hull and he has taken the
advice of his friends and Tommy Ry-
an, his manager. Last. week he sail
ed for Erin, where he will. refuse to
acknowledge acquaintance: with.
boxing glove for several months.
Joe Sugden; the old st. Paul CATCH
er, who is training the Detroit catch
ers down south, tells a good story on
Heine PETIT, the former Louisville
club manager.
According to Sugden PETIT was
playing. on Chris Won der Ahe's club
when that old magnate was in his
glory and one day the catcher who
was always Kidding the German by
initiating him became suddenly i'll.
He was unfit for duty but rather than
leave his club in the hole he offered
little assistance in the form of his
brother. So he sent Won der Abe
this note:
Dear Shirts: am too sick to play
but l got brother what is"
And Chris sent back. this reply:
"If you is too sick, don't play. l
want your brother not"
Our old friend Josh Clark is going
to hang OH this time in big league
circles. At least Manager Fred Ten
ney of the Boston club says so. The
former Saint is trying for an outfield
position with the National league
club, and while he has not been given
much of chance with the first team.
Josh has been assured of steady
job. Clarke would prefer playing on
the ST. Paul club as he would then
be enabled to visit his family at
Groningcn. Minn., occasionally. When
he left for the big league club train
ing grounds the farmer ball player
expressed himself as dissatisfied with
his advancement and hoped that he
would soon be returned to the ST
Paul club. But it looks as though
Tenney' would hang on to the old
Kelleyitc for a few weeks, at least.

Knockout Brown. who has been
awarded two popular decisions over
Champion Ad Wolgast, has changed
his style of fighting. Heretofore he
has broken all precedents by guard
ing with his right arm and with his
right foot forward. When boxing
recently with Quaker City lads. with
whom he toys, Brown stands in the
natural position with his left arm
guarding and his left foot forward.
Johnny King. the Cub catcher.
who recently Joined his teammates in
the south. has sent back some base
ball news about Chances National

friend, the Chicago catcher has the

II was certainly surprised to see
