Peckinpaugh Is
To Join Cleveland
Former New Haven ShOrtstOp
Does Sensational Work FOr
Portland of Coast League
(New Haven Register.)

Roger Peckinpaugh, the young short
stop who has been playing such a
phenomenal game for the Portland
club of the Pacific Coast league, has
attracted the attention of all the ma
jor league teams. He will become Il
member Of the Cleveland American
league nine at the end of the Coast
league season. This same Roger Is
none other than the FORMER idol of
the New Haven fans, who covered the
shortfield position in such wonder
full manner last season for the Wings.
His sensational work while member
of the New Haven team is still fresh
in the minds Of all the local fans.
He left here last season to poin the
Cleveland team and put up a fine ar
ticle of ball while with the Maps, but
he found the going hard, especially
against such stars as Terry Turner
and Neal Ball. His fielding ranked
as high as any Napoleon. but he was
a little weak with the stick, conse-
quently when the present season open
ed Roger was turned over to the Port
land club, of the Coast league.
The present season has found Peck
as he is Familiarity called, in brilliant
form and his fielding has been the
sensation of the Coast league. He
has steadily improved and at the pres
emit time is considered the finest field
ing shortstop outside of the major
leagues. Scout Jim Mcclure has
signed him for the Cleveland club and
feels that in Peckinpaugh he has pick
ed coming star. He covers lot Of
ground, is a sure man on ground balls
and possesses a strong arm. His
batting the past season has improved
greatly and it seems as if our old
friend Roger was due for a steady po-
sition in the Johnson circuit.

Heavy Hitting Greek Thinks
He'll Put Matt Wells

AS the time draws near for the bat
tie between K. o. Brown and Matt
Wells, the English lightweight cham

will wade into the Britisher as soon
as the gong rings at 1890 O'Clock to-
morrow night and will end the fight
quickly. My Dutchman will knock

five rounds" was Morgan's bold as
sertion yesterday. why, Brown is
hitting harder than ever and he's
stronger than when he beat Wolgast.
Don't you remerber that Brown had
the grip. with a high fever, when he
met Wolgast the last time? And was
not he just as bad off when he whip

entirely well when he knocked Tom

Jeanette And
Langford To Meet
Crack Negro Fighters Will Mix
at Madison Square on
September 5

Sam Langford and Joe Jeanette
will display their collection Of jabs,
hooks and jolts at Madison Square
Garden on Sept. 5. These men should
furnish plenty of excitement. jean
nette seems to be the only man OBJ
tainabie just now who can make Lang
ford fight at his top speed in order
to win.
Matches between negro boxers in the
past have not always been successful,
as the men were often disposed to be
too friendly when in the ring. This,
however, has not been the case with
thess men. In their past meetings
both have seemingly tried to land
the knockout punch whenever possible,
and as the fighters will then be un-
der the supervision Of the new Boxing
Commission their best work can con-
fidently be expected.
Both men will no doubt be in the
best possible condition as each is
known to be a powerful puncher. JEAN
nette is always careful in this matter,
while Langford, who has often sam
pied the Furnishing blows of his future
opponent, will no doubt be more care
full than he has often been in the
past.

|BoW|ers Expect
To Have Big Year
City and Industrial Leagues VIII
Start Within Few Weeks

In another month when the fans
start to devote their spare moments
to indoor plea sures, the bowling alleys
will be the attraction. There is now
"a progressive movement on to start
the Industrial and City leagues the
fore part of next month.
During the past few days, due to
the weather conditions, all the local
alleys saw an influx of the bowlers.
A number of sore wings were report
ed, but they have been worn off with
a little practice. Some of the bowlers
reported better falls than when they
were in condition.
The State League directors, both of
the big pin and duck pin organizations,
will meet before long and organize for
the season. The championship sea-
son, however, will not be started I'M
til October. Both leagues will prob
ably consist of the same clubs as last
season.
With bowling conditions better in
this city, all the local alleys brushing
up for the opening of the regular sea-
son, and all the alleys going about the
State, bowlers look for a. banner sea-
son.
