pthat he viii give a box of cigars to
every Tiger playing at Wiedenmayer's
Park who makes a home run this sea-

the game.
This = No. 1. Billy and steve Pier
son are going to make the trip with
the Tigers to Lakewood as the result OF
"a odd bet. The pair were recently
discussing their relative ability as ball
players. Both gave ccoun of their
past performances and the argument
waxed so warm that the pair have de-
cided to go to Lakewood and try their
proWess with the stick. They will get

who sends the ball to the most remote
REGIONS will win the bet and the other
fellow will hare to buy a supper for
friends Of the pair.
Tom OTRourke's action in bringing
ever Fred Welsh, the English light
weight, shows his peclliar hobby for
International matches. and also his be.
lief in lightweight battles as the best
.dfawing cards for limited round affairs.
If fight club promoters keep within
eO'Rourke's idea, there is little chance
OF any trouble coming to the game.
~ The International championship as
pect of O match between Wolgast and
Welsh, o'Rourke claims, will still OBJ
tain. because Welsh did not lose his
iightwA yht belt to Wells. who Is a
welterwei light. II was another emblem
that Wells held that Welsh was after,

England's lightweight champion. and
as such will fight here, according TO
O'Rourke.
Clarke Griffith Is belching about cut
ting out scouts. II Griffith had a re-
liable man doing scout duty he would
not have picked up a certain young
.ster from the Texas League last fall
and paid $1,000 for him. expecting that
the man was a left-handed hitter. The
player ia question turned out to be
ejnst the opposite and is not worth his

Basketball at Yale this season was
poorly supported. The Yale News
points out that 1t was due to the rough
tacticsnwhich have crept into the game
all over the country. Slowly but surely
the tendency to rough 1t will rob the
sport of its attractions, and 1t seems to
be on the decline everywhere because
:. Of this one ebjectional feature. Good
Evidence of this, tendency Is evident

:: :, The South Orange Field Club has
again arranged to play with most of
the big college teams. Cornell Is booked
Cor a game at South Orange on April

team, is surely a hustler.
Patsy Kline, who has been under
the care of a physicianu for some weeks
because of eye trouble, will hear
definitely today from the surgeon. DR..
Wells P. Eagfeton. whether he will be
able to train for fights in the immed ate
future. Patsy is chatting under the re-

him, though.
Ban Johnson has this to say about

Speaking about the possible Amer

soccer championship of this country
We like the Howard & Bullough team
over the Philadelphia Hibernians. The
reason is that the P~awtucket BOYS are
: stronger ava from home thar the

Harry. Lewis's claim to the middle
weight championship is ~laughable
He'll. have to lay low such men as
Klaus, Hugo Kelly or ev IN Billy Papke
before America will listen to him.

That Wolgast is not afraid to fight
is now. evident TO his Knockers when
he allows, Packey Mcfarland to weigh
in at 1876 pounds at 7 o'clock. While
,apt a great champion, the Michigan
boy Is a champion a" right.
