representing that place this season. The
Commercial leaguers will try their luck
against team made up of some of the
best men playing in the amateur leagues.
The ST Martin team of the Independ-

the season was picked to be a pennant
contender. is not likely to finish better
than third, at the best. At present st.
Paul is two games ahead of the Church
men. which is now fourth. and it will
be about all the wearers of the green

of the leading teams were to take big
slump.
The Southland club and the Sewage
Pumping Station have each taken a
slump from which it has not recovered.
The season was started by each club in
great style, and before either was de-
feated it had won seven games. Now
one is tied for first place and the other
has dropped to third

that Wolgast will win either on points
or by a knockout, and in this opinion he

but as there is little or no money to be
made in the featherweight division the
sturdy Briton has been going after light
weights for more than year.
Moran Clever Boxer.
When Moran boxed Packey Mcfarland
here recently he conceded nearly ten
pounds to the stockyards man and was
outclassed in science. But at no time
did Mcfarland inf1cit serious punish
ment. Moran was just as strong at the
end of ten rounds as at the outset OF the
bout. He didn't have scratch and Of
fered to bet 5000 of his own money that
he could beat Mcfarland in another
scrap provided the latter agreed to make
1913 at O'Clock. Mcfarland beat Moran
at 1876, scaling at 3 O'Clock, which gave
the Chicago boxer big advantage.
Morans showing against Mcfarland
was vastly better than Tommy Murphy S,
yet the latter bested Wolgast In six
round bout in Pittsburg, knocking the
champion down in one Of the rounds.
Murphy was pie for X. o. Brown. who
outponted Wolgast twice In no-decision
bouts yet Brown avoided Moran when
the latter filed several businesslike chal-
Ienges. In fact Brown refused to box
ten rounds with Moran when Harvey Of
fered to present the little Dutchman with
$1,000 the moment he stepped inside OF
the ring.
Summing up these facts, 1t is generally
conceded that Moran is the most danger,
Gus challenger WolgaN ever has agreed
to meet. In this city. where many per-
sons still believe Wolgast Is overrated,
Moran has supporters who think he Will
spring a surprise tomorrow. Several
sporting men here have made up a five
thousand-dolla commission to place on
the Englishman's chances. and instruc-
tions to bet this money at rtngside odds
were telegraphed to Tom Corbett, the

If Wolgast can outpunch Moran he will
win. That is conceded by close followers
OF the boxing game, but at the same time
there seems to be much doubt as to VOL
CASTS ability to excel in this respect. 1t
is freely admitted that Wolgast's de-
fensive tactics are not impregnable, and
that Moran will have no trouble in land
ing effective blows. But whether Moran
can hit hard enough to put the champion
down for the count remains to be seen.
Wolgast is a solid puncher. yet he failed
to make much of an impression on Brown.
and though he cut loose for all he was
worth. he found 1t impossible to send
Hogan and Burns into the Land Of Nod.
Moran never has been fioored. He
never has displayed signs Of grogginess
and has a wonderfully strong pair of legs.
He has stood up before many hard hitters.
including Pal Moore and Abe Attell, with
out signs of weakness. and, as he is in
rugged dcondition for this fight he
doesn't believe Wolgast can hurt him.

thousand-dollar mark at least. Sporting

the age Of fifteen, his parents moved
to Oxford, Miss, and there Brother
Baucher remained until the begin
ming Of the Civil War, when he en-
listed and went to the front. He
was in the army Of Virginia, under
General Lee most Of the time. He
removed to Chickasaw County, Miss
in 1865 and there married Miss
Susy A. FuifOrd. To him and his
faithful cOnsOrt were born six child
rem, three boys and three girls
There are three of them living now,
who, with the faithful wife mourn
the loss Of true husband and faith
er. At the age Of twenty-five Bro
Their Baucher joined the Presby-
terrain Church and remained in that
communion nutil 1882 when he join
ed the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, of which he remained a faith
full member until the day of his

it's Interpretation by a close comun-
MON with his Lord. After the Bible
he would take up the writings Of
Thos. E. Watson. He delighted in
reading his works. And often wish
