Horsemen Hope for Snow

The sudden rain of Wednesday

But, just as the reinsmen decided

the sleighing went to the bad.

PITTSBURG SEES BATTLE
THAT rs WELL WORTH WHILE

PITTSBURG, Jan. 12.-Officials OF
the Northern club today began plar-
ming for another bout between Frank
Klaus and Billy Berger. who last
night put up the best scrap that has
been seen in Pittsburg in a decade.
Throughout the six rounds 1t was
a slam-bang affair, Klaus forcing the
lighting, but taking by far the most
punishment. Berger's clouts did not
seem to feaze him, however, and in
the last round, Klaus tore out OF his
corner like mad bull and before
the period was over had his adver-
sary doing Marathon around the
ring.
This aggressiveness at the flag end
of the bout caught Berger by surprise
and II Is doubtful whether he could
have lasted two more rounds, but his
early advantage gave him a draw.

True. he stayed In the big league for

ME Mack was ever mistaken about.
Harry was with the Cotton States
league when Connie got a string on
him and lfarmed him TO Birmingham
In the Southern league. Niles failed
to come up to Mack's idea OF a ball

Getting Entries
Costs Him Money

Way back last September, C.. A.
Vogel,, secretary of the st. Louis
bowling tournament committee, and
George Qualey were discussing the
possibilities for the big ten-pin show
that will be inaugurated Jan. 81. Vo-
gel predicted less than 100 five-men
teams would ente rthe tournament
from st. Louis.
I'll bet you a suit OF. clothes the
entries exceed 100," chirped Qualey.
Vogel did not hedge on his remark
and a wager of a $40 suit Of clothes
was made, srtlcles drawn up and plac-
in the hands of third party. The
articles stated that IL the entries ex-
ceeded loo Qualey was to get the
suit II they ran up to 1875, Qualey
might claim in addition six shirts, a
hat and pair of shoes.
Last Thursday George drew down
the order for the glad rags, Vogel
admitting the first part Of the bet
was lost Qualey spends most Of his
time nowadays inspecting the shop
windows, trying to decide what kind
of shirts he likes best.

hustling entries to make his losing

What virtually stopped Niles big
league career was a collision with
Bradley OF the Cleveland club. Niles
went over TO cover first base on
bunt play and Tom Jones made toss
which was bit wide Niles reached
out for the ball and Bradley ran into
his extended arm in such way as TO
tear the li8aments In the shoulder:
After that Niles lost the free use OF
the arm I'm throwing, and. try as ne
would, could never get 1t back again.
This resulted in his failing at second
base and being forced out or the IN
field.
He subsequently went to right field.
where his throwing would not prove
SO much OF handicap, but the inJuhy
appeared to have hurt his batting as
well as his fielding. Niles was heavl-
ly built and heavily muscled man. and
he appeared to lose the ambition TO
work hard enough TO keep down his
weight after he was injured.

Niles had an interesting history
urevious TO getting into professional
baseball. While at school he was
champion sprinter in the amateur line,
After that he had to begin earning his
living and broke ipto the public lime
light by becoming balloonist. Harry
went upIn hot-air bag and did a
parachute jump for the benefit OF the
crowds at country fairs until he began
to get too heavy for the business and
came near killing himself Then he
started to playing baseball and was
sensation In the Cotton States and
Southern leagues. He shone with
equal brilliancy for a while with the
browns, but misfortune overlook him
just at the time when his prospects
were brightest. But for the mixup with
Bradley the chances are that he would
still be one of the stars OF the game.
