beat frankie Burns tomorrow
night at the National Sporting Club.
Don't lose sight of this, that Burns is
q fighter, always after his man once he
gauges his opponents speed. The
writer saw Young O'Leary, with all his
speed, baf1ed by the fierce Burns until
he couldn't lift his hands to even tap
Ntine Jersey City lad. If Young Pierce
could fight a twenty-round draw with
Stanley we are quite sure Burns can
Outright Stanley and easily prove him
self q better man. It's too a Coul9n
won't meet Burns at the same weight
Stanley is-117 pounds.
Many persons look at AID Wolgast as
e dub" He may be a fight dodger
for some reason known to himself and
Tom Jones, but don't forget that VOL
CAST was the man to beat Battling
Nelson when nearly everybody the day
before figured Nelson couldn't lose.
Wolgast is a tough customer and don't
forget 1t. We don't know It's such a
sure thing Brown will beat him. In
fact, we think Brown will have his
hands full If Wolgast only Jumps
around and won't let the X. Q. Kid
get set for that wallop.

Speaking about live pickups, Larry
Sutton, the Brooklyn scout, has Sc
cured for Brooklyn this season four Of
the most promising players who ever
butted into fast company. They are
O%utfelders Lejuene. Coulson and
Myers, and Thiro Baseman Qui,lan.
Everyone of them batted above 800,
and as base s~tealers their work was
marvellous, let lone in ~run-getting.
Here are the records of the four men
made in minor leagues last year: Le-
juene, who holds the worlds record
for long-distance throwing, is n of
the most promising of the candidates.
In 1873 games last year he batted 1928,
scored 81 runs, stole Sd bases and
slammed out Is home runs. Is that a
promisin looking player? Coul on,
Who already had a trial last fall
and made a wonderful showing with
the Infants, stole go bases in no Tri-
State League games. He scored 81
runs and batted .302. A player who can
steal oven thirty bases in a season
is considered valuable. Hi Myers, in
120 games. had 80 runs. stole 33 bases
and batted .345. Third Baseman Quill
Ian, against whom zimmerman, the
former Tiger, will have to compete,
made 1873 runs last year and led the
Western League In that respect. He
was with the Sioux City team. and
stole 45 bases. II there is another
quartet of recruits picked up by n
major league scout who can outstrip
these four players In records. that
scout is worth a gold mine to his club
and he will have the distinction of
boasting truthfully that he is a better
scout the Lawrence Sutton, of New
ark, N. ]. -
According TO an agreement between
Champion ad Wolgast and Knockout
Brown, entered into last night at the
Paramount C;uh, in New York, before
Browns bout with Bert Keyes, the New
York boy agreed to weigh 1873 pounds
at 0 O'Clock for the Brown olgast
''go', in Philly February s. The bout
will be staged a half-hour later.
The latest is tina Jack" o'Brien is
r-Ser Jack Johnson to box Joe Jean
nette at his American Club in Philadel-
phia. Our idea Of something that can't
be enjoyed much is a six-round bout
between most any pair Of heavy
weights.
Edmund Lamy, the hitherto unbeat-
HDl0 CALdtiAPtJu ShdtCAt was OCohOh a5oAh
yesterday. Some people say he's an
Abe Attell, pulling for the next time.
$780,
This talk Of McGraw forcing the Bos-
ton management. to give him Shean-
though 1t means probably a loss of a
good man to the Newark club--is tom
myrot. Why should any manager,
without the authority. trade away his
employers money? On account of Ten
ney's previous trouble in Boston, he. IL
he knew anything. should have steered
clear Of a S~hean-Shafer deal.
Patsy Kline refused an offer from the
Fairmont Club, OF New York, to box
y Joe Coster on account of the money ar
rangement. It is likely though that
Patsy will get Coster at Jack O'Brien's
American Club. 1t is part of KIine's
agreement with O'Brien for h Attell
fight that the local lad get another
poJ.t down there. Patsy says that Co.'S
ter s a pretty heavy featherweight. and
xIiat he'll have to do 122 pounds for a
bout. -
