Third Baseman Hans Lobert, Of the
Philadelphia club, is reputed to be the
fastest runner in the National League.
Up TO date he has proved his fleet
ness of foot by beating Vincent Camp
bell, of the Pittsburg Pirates, who was
thought to be the only athlete in the
league as fast as Lobert. The pair
met in Cincinnati on october ~ of 1910
and Lobert won.
On the same date the Phillie third
sacker lowered the worlds record held
by himself for circling the bases by
one-fifth of a second Lobert estab-
lished the first mark in the field day
October 4, 1908, at Cincinnati, and in
his effort last season went round the
bases in IS 4-5 seconds. His previous
mark was IA fiat.
Lobert's record as the fastest ath-
lete in the National League may be
shattered If Ward Miller's speed on
the sacks turns out as represented.
Miller is the outhelder of Montreal, of
the Eastern League, who joins the Chi
cage Cub team in the spring.
What Miller is really capable of
doing in a sprint around the bases
was learned at Montreal, when he cir
cled first, second, third and home in
13 3-5 seconds, thereby clipping one-
fifth of "a second off the mark made
by Lobert last fall.

Here is Roger Bresnahan's prediction:
THE Giants are a great ball club.
They can run the bases. Marquard,
Mathewson, Wiltse and Ames are good
pitchers. Connie Mack also has a great
ball club. Good hitters. Grand field
ers. However, l think the team tina
makes the most runs will win the first
game. Likewise the succeeding bat
ties. I've never picked a loser"

Irish Mahon, the local fighter, and
his manager called at the STAR office
this morning. Mahon's arm is coming
along nicely and he thinks he will be
able to get into the ring in about two
weeks. when my boy gets in shape
inc his arm is strong enough" said
Larry Sutton to the writer this morn
ing. 1.-THE first two boys we want a go
with are Young Ferris and Young LIE
Roy. We will fight either at the club
eefering the most money, winner to
take ALL"

That Willie Lewis has mapped out a
strenuous campaign for himself TO
prove his right to the welterweight
championship is evidenced by the fact
hat he has signed for another match.
On Thursday he is to clash for ten
rounds with Jeff Smith at the National
Sporting Club, and on October % he
will meet Jeff Doherty at New Haven
in a hfteen-round contest at las pounds
at 8 o'clock.
