part In everything athletic that is big
in the east For several years after
he had completed his college course,
he was an official in all Of the big
games in the east and an authority
on football. In baseball he plays his

tie. Ad seems confident Of taking the
measure of all three. 1t means three
big fights in one month with three OF
the best men in his class.

ers in the game, and all of the regu-
lars who were not laid up went through
the work Their places were then
taken by scrubs. Even at that they
couldn't stop the redskin, jim Thorpe.
Here is one that can't be beat: "One
Round" Hogan has been matched for
bout with Knockout Brown.
In the last 10 years Brown has only
beaten Yale three times and tied it
once. Last year was one Of Browns
victorious years over the Blues and in
1908 it did the same trick. The teams
have played one another every year
since 1893.
Ty Cobb seems TO have one weak
spot and that is fielding. He exceued
batting and base running, and in nearly
everything else in the league during the
