Jim's last bout was with Sailor Burke
al the Olympic Club. of ~Irvlngton. The
Sailor threw Jim and broke a couple of
bones In his arm. Since that time he
las done nothing. He was matched

Peter G.. Hanson. who started the
Essex County Baseball League two
Years ago, is now a trolieyman AMI
active in the work of promoting base
a among his fellow workmen. Han
son is now trying to organize a real
trolley league.
Hanson's notice sounding the call is
as follows:
THE Turnpike Baseball Club, OF the
Harrison division, Public Service Rail-
way, has organized for the coming sea-
son, and expects to put a frst-c-ass
team In the field. The manager would
like to hear from all teams on the sys-
tenn, New Brunswick, Elizabeth, Green
Vile, Montgomery, Springfield, Plank
road and South Orange, as to the form
ing of a trolley baseball league, which,
10 doubt, would be a hummer The
following will be the lineup OF the
Turnpike team: Walbing, left field;
Connolly, second base; Steiner, thirl
base; Lynch, first base; Holcomb, short
stop, Fies, centre field; Slater, right

Larry Sutton. the Brooklyn scout,
has the spring fever. A little bouquet
tossed at him by the Brooklyn COR
respondent of Sporting Life does not
alleviate the suffering any. Here IL is:
Larry Sutton, the able Brooklyn
scout, says he will be ready to take
TO the road the minute the minors get
down to action. Larry was SO uneasy
over his enforced retirement during the
winter that II was all his friends could
do to restrain him from going to Cuba
TO pick out some of the live talent on
the island"
Now that Billy Papke has put Dave
Smith, the Australian, to sleep In a few
rounds and wiped out his former defeat
by that man on a foul, Bills aspira-
tons titleward will be In the ascendant.
2 AT the present writing we do not see
anybody more entitled to the leading
position among the middleweights than
the Illinois Thunderbolt. He is made
of the right stuff.
Tom O'Rourke Is doing a lot for box
ing in New York. Why doesn't he get
busy and start bantam elimination
battles, with a view to picking two
me- to battle for the title. The situa.
ton just now is really a joke. Johnny
Couion is a good boy, but he has nc
clear claim to the title. There should
alwa: J be a real champion.

In a statement to a Memphis news
paperman, George Stallings has openly
accused Hal Chase Inc certain New
York American players with ~conspir1ne
AGAINST him and causing his resigna-
ton from the helm of the New York
American League Club last year. The
same has been suspected all along, but
Stallings has not, up to the present
A.. time, uttered a word o his side OF
the matter.

The formation of that new Watsess-
ing A. c.. TO play games away from
home Saturday and at Norris Park on
Sundays rather bears out u story the
other day that the famous Bloomfieli
team was liable to be disbanded. Toe
bad, but good luck to the new club.
There will be O curtailment OF the
Swedish Olympiad excluding some of
those minor and unimportant events
that call out athletes of foreign lands
who have made specialties Of those spe-
cial events.
The popular events, however. viii be
unchanged.
Jack o'Brien surely gave Tony Biddle
u terrible lacing last week. 1t was
only yesterday that the Philadelphia
millionaire learned he would not lose
che sight OF his right eye. Fighting is
bad for eyes! isn't it7
Az the Postman A. c.. in New York
tonight Tommy Andreach and Battling
Henry will meet In q slx-round bout.
Tommy says Henry is bigger than he
10. but that makes no difference to
Tommy.

On all sides yesterday were seen the
evidence Of the great American love OF
baseball. All classes were taking i
firss dip" from the small boy to the
father of the family.
This week means much to the ball
players. The dangers of a return of
wintry weather after a balmy day are
practically a thing of the past follow
ing st. Patrick's Day each year. The
great day happens Friday.
We know that ball players are ready
TO break loose for fair.

To the Sporting Editor OF the Evening Star:
What has become of that great run
uer, Joe Welt, of the Irish American
A. c.? I would like to run him a
match race, as I am sure / car peat
him, as he never beat anybody that
could run, anyway. 1 will run him
any distance from 100 yards TO a mile.
and beat the life out Of him.
I am a sprinter and can run, and II
We'll has got any sporting blood in
him let him take rae up. II he doesn't
he's q S~our-nusher. Hoping to see this
