- ATTLING HURLEY is in st.
ID Mary's Hospital, Passaio, recor-
ering from an operation whereby
a great deal Of dead flesh was removed
from that lump over his left eye. 1t
wal thought up to the last Cy Smith
fight that the bad eye had healed up
for good, but the Hudson county
cyclone opened 1t up again. Everybody
who ever fought Hurley set sail for that
eye. Therefore. its terrible cond ton.
Tt is expected that the eye will be
all right in a couple of months.

There is one thing about Zone
Round Hogan that %conrnerds him to
experts. That is his cool manner undo
fire. Knockout Brown is credited
with having no nerves and, there
fore, not liable to a case of the
"rattles." Hogan, all during his fight
with Brown. though in strange sur
roundings and before a crowd OF stran-
gers, never lost his head. His most
trying moments-and he had several
found him the same Hogan as at the
start Of the fight. Such was not the
case with Brown. The writer is of the
opinion that the fight of the other
night eliminates Brown from the line
of possibilities for the lightweight
championship. BY that I mean that II
Brown Is considered a championship
possibility, Hogan is surely a proba-
bility. Hogan was just beaten a shade
on points in the recent bout. But that
superiority is nothing. however. If
those men had beer in a twenty-round
bout sporting writers in making a ref.
erence to the relative ability of the
xoAA a. 49, hale uroxz sfaftnn ynyrnh.ld
have scarcely mentioned the difference
between the men, it was so slight. We
think that the next time Brown and
Hogan meet the latter will win de-
cisively.
Joe Finneran, another aspiring young
ball player who attracted attention in
seIni-pro circles last summer while
pitching In the County League, has ac-
cepted terms with Charley Babb's Nor
folk Club, of the Virginia State League.
Einneran Is a right-hander and Is still
in. his teens. He drst showed ability
as a pitcher with the Sacred Hearts, of
Orange, where he lives. Finneran Is
filed with confidence that he will be
successful In the professional game,

success. Secretary Frank J. McTague
recommended the Orange boy to Babb
and predicts a great future for him.
Finneran also had offers from New
England League teams, but acted on
the advice OF the Tiger secretary in
signing with Norfolk.
