W OOGN1 0IlA lSSCiNCa a SOSN
lesson last night at Troxler''
Central Institute. While i
should be no cause for encouragement
? Kurtz should profit by the lesson. Nc
Closkey was heavier thar the Newark
boy and Kurtz was not in good shape
through his own carelessness. If kurt7
has the right stuff he will now come
back better than ever. If he hasn't
it will be another promising scrappeI
gone to the bad.
Frank Gotch, the American cham
pion heavyweight wrestler, will meet
either Hackenschmidt or Zbyszko In
New York within a month, according
to reports.
No opponent has been found for Kid
Wilson to meet at McGuigan's for
bout in the near future. The man.
agement was negotiating for Der
Douglass. but Ben was not satisfied
with the terms offered. He is the
logical Jerseyite to meet Wilson and
the bout would be a good one II the
W were brought together. Douglass
is open to meet anyone at his weight
including Charley Lawrence.
There is one thing about Secretary
Frank J. McTague. of the Newark Club
He Is not afraid to give out baseball
news. We don't heal any more of that
lit will be for the best interests of the
club not to make this known"
It Ia said that the executive commit
tee of the Boston National League Club
turned down Fred Tenney's trade of
Shean for Shafer. Fred intends to re-
sign, It is reported. Judging from the
way Sir Fred is doing things, we think
he could resign now with much profit
to himself. rather than later on when
he Is in more Dutch thar he is now.
Since becoming secretary of the
Newark Club. Frank McTague has
been kept busy answering letters of
local semi-pro and amateur baseball
players who are anxious to get into
the professional game Almost every
mail brings a letter or two. Yesterday
letters were received from Robert Boyd.
a heavy-hitting outfielder, and Robert
I. Lloyd, a pitcher. both of Elizabeth.
Lloyd pitched for the Hopewell team,
of Asbury Park, last year, while Boyd
played at times with the crack New
Brunswick team n other Jersey
mines. McGinnity has promised to
help McTague In locating some of the
promising youngsters who have the
nerve to try to make good.
