cured possession of a right-hand-
ed hurler named Johnson from the ST.
Louis National League club. Johnson
wa with the Dallas club Of the Texas
League last ear, and was drafted by
the Cardinal Club. McGinnity does not
know Johnson's exact record but says
that Roger Bresnahan pronounces
Johnson a wonder, and that he Will
prove a sensation in the Eastern
League.
Ray Washburn, the local semi-pro In
fielder, who played short for a time,
after Bill Louden met with an injury
a week before the season closed, has
been released outright by the Tiger
management. Eddie Phelan. the New
York semi-pro catcher, who was In
Uniform and practised with the Tigers
a few times last year. has also been
handed the blue envelope,
Ben Egan, the Baltimore catcher, got
so used to burning up things in the
Eastern League last year that he came
very close to doing the same thing in
his home on Christmas Eve. He was
playing Santa Claus for his nieces, and
came in contact with a lighted Christ
mas tree. He received some painful
burns.
Albert Marley, a semi-pro outfeider
of Buffalo. will be taken on the spring
training trip of the Bisons next year.
Tom Martin says that he made the
longest home run ever hit over the left
field fence at Buffalo.
Frank Farrell, president of the New
York American League Club, is doing
his spring house cleaning early this
year. Following the announcement that
Foster, Hughes and Mitchell had been

THERE is a decided International
flavor to the heavyweight wres-
ting tournament that will take
place at Wevers's Colosseum Monday
night, and a thoroughly cosmopolitan
gathering will probably witness the
show. The star of the night will be
Zbyszko, the Polish champion. who
holds the premiership of all Europe in
the wrestling game. England will fur
nish Kid Sharkey, a troublesome little
m~iddleweight, who will clash with
Young Monday, an Italian, who claims
the 165-pound championship of this
country.
America will be represented by Lex
Bersin, middleweight champion of the
United States navy, who will tackle the
fastest son of Erin on the mat, John
Mclaughlin, Of County Donegal, Ire
land. Finland will proffer the services
of Pilakoff, said to be the strongest
man in the world, and who, 1t is ex-
pected, will furnish the surprise party
of the show.
John Parelli will carry the colors of
Italy in the ring when he tackles
Zbyszko In the first bout of the night,
and either Peter Nogert, the Boer, rep
~resenting South Africa; ivan Petofsky,
the Russian. or Fritz Mohl. the Ger
man, who lives at Hightstown, will be
the other opponent to tackle the great
Polander.
Seats at Millions, Murray's. Eisner's

FF1CIAL fielding averages Of the
~ Eastern League, released for pub
LEGATION today, show that Newark
boosted two men who were leaders in
their respective positions among the
regulars. They were Johnny Kelly,
who showed the way to all left flelders
In the fielding averages by a big mar
gin, and Eddie Zimmerman, who topped
the t~hird-saekers in fielding. Joe Yea
ger, of the Royals, was tied with
Jimmy, but did not play in as many
games. AT first base Joe Agler was
fourth best man among those who
have played in more than one hundred
games, but the averages do not show
the many sensational stops that Joe
made nor his steady and brilliant all
around work at the first bag. Cockill
and Abstein were the leading first-sack-
ers. Larry Schlafly Is fifth among the
regular second-sackers, with George
Smith first, and Bill Louden, who played
wonderful ball at short, is third In his
class. The veteran Rock, of Providence,
captured the shortstop honors, with
Holly second. In twelve games at centre
field Benny Meyer had a mark of S64,
but 0'Hara, of Toronto, with 1853, is
the real leader, with Jake Gettman
who played in more games, but two
points behind.
Newark led the league in team field
ing With a grand mark of $3.50, every
man being good on the defensive. The
fielding averages follow:

I%rvington Contributes Two.
Both of Camptown's contributions to
professional baseball are pitchers. Man
ser was with Jersey City until last
fall. when Brooklyn drafted him and
turned him over to Rochester, where
he will pitch next year. Boice has
been pitching on the coast for the
greater part of the last two seasons.
He was given a trial last spring by
Cleveland, but was not quite strong
enough for the big show. Next year he
may make his mark after another sea-
son with the minors.
Larry Sutton also put Billy thinner
man in the game. Billy had a trial
with Jersey City a few years ago, but
was not fast enough. He went to the
Lynn club of the New England League,
was recalled by the Skeeters last spring
and turned over to Utica, where he
burned things up, and was a sensations
at stealing bases. He also hit well, ana
as an outfielder was a success. New
ark and Atlanta put in a draft for him,
but Atlanta was lucky, and Billy will
play there nexNyear.
Abe Welsher gained his knowledge
of baseball at the start of his career
local lots. He is a clever pitcher
and was very successful with the
Portsmouth Virginia State League Clup
last season. He will bo with that club
again next year, very likely.

YOUNG KURTZ EASILY
BEATS SCROCGS AT
THE PROCTER CLUB

A N excellent set of bouts and a
~ show that apparently pleased
everyone marked the opening
of the Proctor A.. C. at Renner's Hall
last night. The surprise of the night
was Young Kurtz's easy victory over
Harry Scroggs, ofBaltimore. The local
newsboy welterF welted q right to
Scroggs's jaw in the second round of
their bout, after knocking him down for
nine in the first round. Scroggs was
apparently SO groggy that he did not
hear Referee Benny Miller counting
over him, and though he was on his
knees at the count. OF five he had not
reached his feet when Miller sail TO-
and Bonnie promptly waived the bat
tered Baltimorean to his corner. He
was beaten anyhow, for even mad he
risen Kurtz was ready to let loose that
vicious kick of his that would have
settled it. Scroggs seemed to be very
glad that 1t was over and he had Jared
no worse.
Kurtz BashfuI.
When the two squared off for what
was to have been the six-round star
bout of the evening. Kurtz was a bit
bashful and led Scroggs a merry chase
for the first few moments. Then of a
sudden the local lad recovered his nerve
and took a slam at Scroggs with his
left. He missed, but shot out a right
and clipped Scroggs on the jaw and he
vent down fiat on his back. The bell
changed just as Miller was counting
nine, ending the round. and Scroggs, in
a dazed condition, started for his COR
htf KtlrtZ r11Qhad from hphind
Miller and hit Scroggs again after the
bell had sounded. He claimed that he
Is hard of hearing, and that he lost his
head in the excitement. He did the
proper thing by apologizing to Scroggs
and giving him an extra minute be-
tween the rounds to give him a
chance to recover.
Kurtz was confident when the second
started and rushed at his man and
hammered rights and lefts to the jaw.
Finally he worked Scroggs into a cor
ner and put the haymaker over on him,
which ended the fight. 1t was evident
that Scroggs must have underestimated
the Newark boys prowess. 1t was a
big feather in Kurtz's cap and his host

All credit is due to Carl Healey and

BOARD OF CONTROL ELECTS
Graebner Chosen President of Reor'

Sparta May Be Investigated.

Madison.-The new state board of
control held it's first meeting today to
organize for the work of coming five
years under the law passed twoayears
ago. All the new members where
here. They elected these officers;
President, w. H. Graebner, Milwau-
kee; vice-president, Almah j. Frisby,
Milwaukee; corresponding secretary,
Ralph e. Smith, Merrill.
The board did not act upon the
election of secretary as the term does
not expire until July l. At that time
the boards elections of the various
superintendent of state penal and
charitable institutions expire. The
board probably will not take action
on these elections until the end of
the fiscal year, June 80.
1t was rumored that there were
complaints against the management
of the state public school at Sparta
and that there was serious move
ment seeking to persuade the board
to demand the immediate resignation
of Supt. C. NJ Bright. 1t is said
that some of the members of the
board are not satisfied with condo
tions at Sparta.
