Reyes bled from the nose and was at
sea when he found himself In a dark
room looking at moving shadows be-
cause of Moore's swiftness.
Friends of Keyes yelled to him to
try just one punch to enliven proceed
ings, but he wasn't equal to the task
Pal was simply cutting him up, and
in and out like a shot. Reyes was
blinded. Dazzling speed was with
Moore. The showing OF Reyes was
awful poor and his head was on hinges
all the time. His beating was more
than any one expected.
Young Ferris. of Orange, performed
in the second preliminary and made a
good impression with the members, be-
cause of his constant forcing with
Johnny Dundee. who had ten pounds on
him.
Ferris jabbed repeatedly with his left
and made a mark OF Dundee. The lat
ter was good with his right and moved
the Orangeite when he connected. Fer
ris put up an elegant battle. He must
have landed his left Jab fifty times
with his left.

New Yorker Was Never in
the Race for the De-
CisiOn.

THAT wonderful little lighting ma
chine, Pal Moore, of Philadel-
phia. showed to the front last
night in every round of his f1ght with
Bert Reyes at the National A. C. and
gave evidence of being one of the fast
est, cleverest and toughest Of the light
weights In the East. He dazzled with
clever footwork and also surprised Bert
with lightning jabs and swings.
Moore even went in and slugged with
Keyes, n then beat him at his own
particular style of fighting and had
him bending in all shapes. Reyes
never before probably received such
a marking, while Moore did not bear a
mark n was fresh as a daisy and
capable Of travelling ten more rounds.
Both men seemed in excellent shape
when they met in the centre to go over
agreements and quickly limbered UP in
their corners for the fray. Moore was
remarkably clever at the start and ef-
fective in clinches. Keyes was miss
ing by feet.
Bert started his wallop in the Sec
ond round after al continually jabbe1
him in the eye. The member was
closed. Moore was fast all the time
and showed we'll when using his jab
and hooking. Moore was in and out
always, and when Reyes thought of
slow action after a break Pal danced
right in again. and in one short period
of close work landed eight upperouts.
Reyes was bewildered and Moore beat
him to the punch. Keyes really looked
ridiculous attempting a swing.
Up to the fifth Reyes had not landed
more than three or four good blows,
and he attempted to show up the elu-
sive Pal, who landed when and how he
chose. Moore looked fresh and danced
out of the danger zone when Bert
swung wildly. Reyes sought to try a
new maneuver in the sixth, when he

a fine reception. Percy Woodruff is
working Wilson more to the front each
day and he may look over the Kid
Henry matter.
The best proof that the cork centre
ball is here to stay is this statement
from Secretary John A. Heydler. of
the National League. lt
THE SpaldIng ball was adopted by
the National League for twenty years,
because we recognized 1t as the best ball
made. We have used 1t satisfactorily
for thirty-four years. The new cork
! centre ball, introduced for the first time
last year and used In the worlds series,
we believe to be the only ball for the
future, and II is absolutely the best
hat has been used by the National
Lea u in It's history"
We used the ball ourselves in severe
tests, and agree with the National
League and Mr.. Heydler. A few balls
go wrong, 1t is true. but as they a be
redeemed by the purchaser. there is no
pecuniary loss, and 1t does not effect
the game. It won't be long before the
cork centre ball is perfect, there is so
little to be lone on 1t to maxi 1t so.
There is one thing l noticed about the
ball. 1t never goes dead Even the
few that 1 saw out Of shape We're as
lively as ever. The same can't be said
Of the old balls which by use go very
dead. That cork gives the baseball
needed life"

Benny Meyers is the only one he can

two can sec to captain the team.

time, so how could the Iron Man" be
so careful to tell him of his future
care as to whom he will 7peak. We
challenge j. p. N. to prove we broke
McGinnity's confidence. That Chance
stuff is brand-new, too. Even McGin-
nifty himself. I'm told. laughed al the
statement when he read it last night.
We dare J.. p. N. to prove our dishon-
esty with McGinnity! Another thing:
This same sporting editor, without
naming his man-he's afraid to-this
week accused the representative of a
local sporting goods house of tamper-
ing with Joe Crisp.
Now, he means Tom Cahill, who was
instrumental in having McGinnity sell
Crisp. I'll defy ]. P. N. to prove his
charge of ~"tampering." He cannot. I
have access to the correspondence in
the case, and I challenge this
TO prove his charges In the interests OF
fair sport.
We hope this fellow will not let all
this go by default, as he did with that
Dots Miller. When we told the true
story he did not dare tell his.

Tom O'Rourke was asked last night
by a STAR man il he was willing to
bet $500 jeff Smith could knock Kid
Wilson out inside of ten rounds. and
gave out information that will cause a
surprise.
why, l would not bet a nickel on
Jeff Smith again as a result of the
fight he put up against Kid Henry the
other night.

this boy Smith, because l like his style
of fighting and knew he possessed the
proper ability to fight hard and forge
ahead"

interested In the work of Wilson and
particularly 30 when he learned about
him giving Dixie Kid a lacing at Nc

If Wilson is willing and gets in COM
%munication with Mr.. O'Rourke al the
National Sporting Club he can prob
ably get a fight with Kid Henry up
State, and II would mean a neat sum-.
This isN believed because of the large
crowd that turned out TO see Smith
perform against Henry.
