doesn't go South there isn't a
chance for a %pennant. The same
holds about the Tigers, of course;
doubly SO because Joe McGinnity has
not gone to Dixie land this year, choos-
ing Lakewood instead. We think, how
ever. that If Joe displays the same
sagacity during the summer he'll not
only win the pennant but have q lot
more money at the endeof the season
than he has now. Why Lakewood, with
its ideal atmosphere, in the midst of
the pines, has not been a permanent
training ground is a mystery to the
writer.
A bill to legalize boxing ain Missouri
will probably be passed. The require
n1ents are that a commissioner be ap-
pointed to issue permits; hat G. ca club
will pay a license of $500 a year and
$1,000 will be necessary as a guarantee
not to break the proposed laws. which
are to the effect that the bouts be of
NOT more than six POUNDS duration,
each round three minutes. Trey also
want to legalize horse-racing in ts~t
State. Some st. Louis peol lie tn ms
the, Hills will become laws. The bills
would certainly provide jobs for poli-
ticians.
George Carroll, of Elizabeth, the we'll
known manager of boxers, is sweet on
the chances of Tony Bender against
Knockout Brown, and is willing to
match him on a wi~nner-take-all basis.
Bender is a fast boy and anxious to
meet the big fellow again. 1t is prob
able he will get q bout at the National
Sporting Club in the near future.
Here's a chance for Paddy Michigan.
: 1t looks as if Danny Savage will not
enter the ring again for some time in
keeping with the wishes of his home
Z folks At the time he fought Billy
Leary. Savage had been travelling fast
and it was thought best for him to
take a good rest. DANNY Is still young
and a lay-off might not hurt just now.
A treat is in store for local basket
ball lovers on Sunday night. when the
crack Crescent team, representing
Paterson In the Hudson River League,
meets the Dominicans at Electric Park.
1t Is some time since the Crescents
played here, and, If the attendance is
good, a series may be arranged. 1t
took a big guarantee to bring the Silk
Citizens around.
Baseball lovers in the Oranges are
hoping that 1t will be possible to have
a good team perform this year on the
East Orange Oval, now that it has
been made possible by a court decision
for the Fairgrounds Commission of
thai city to charge admission. The
field was the scene of many big games,
and as 1t is one of the best in this Sec
tian ~ ia ha1faupd tho ventura would
be a paying one. Many college games
were played there when the old orange
A. C. was in existence. There has
been some talk of a team of former
college men using the Oval next sea-
son.
III report is put now that John NJ.
Ward has discovered a Joker In the
resolution of the United StatesN Golf
Association, which Is supposed to sup
port st. Andrews. 1t is said that it is a
case of a deliberate slap at st. An
drews. We can't see where foreign In
duence should control the game over
here. -
