restrictions were not quite that fool

This wear the only restriction Is that
the bali be caught by a player of the
offensive team. IL the ball isn't caught
the play only counts a down and the
ball is put i'll play again at the point
from where the last play started.
There is no loss of yards and no con-
ference of otti rials to see il none of Il
half dozen restrictions were violated.
But the greatest popularity of the
play comes from the skill required TO
make it. with the defensive players
looking for Il forward pass as much

under present conditions it would al

two fights for the championship in
over two years. one with Jim Jeffries.
which was a shame when it is known
now that the former champion was abb
solutely unfit for such a struggle. and
the other with Jim Flynn, who was
never given a look-tn with johnson.
The latter won the title from Tom

WH|TES0X PLAN
AUSTRALIAN TRIP
Comiskey Starts Negotia-
tons for Invasion of Anti
podean Baseball Realm.

Chicago. Nov. 13.-Jim Callahan
and his travel-spoiled White Sox may
have a chance to view Australia and
"a few oriental countries in the near
future. Such a globe-girdling trip has
been suggested to President Charles
|Comiskey and yesterday he empow-
cred a notable from the coast, Cal
Ewing. by name. to arrange plans and
look into the expense of carrying the
baseball talent to the antipodes and
returning 1t safely to the states.
Commy's ambitions to take a team
on a record-breaking trip are by no
means recent ideas as time and again
he has expressed a desire to take his
men around the world, but this ven
ture is being reserved. for the time
when the south side idols win a league
pennant or a worlds championship.
The scheme of going to Australia be-
tween seasons dawned on the 'old
ed to glowing accounts of what the
natives in the south sea country had
offered in the way of guarantees to
Cal Ewing, owner of the Frisco club,
who proposes taking his team to the
far off country late this year or early
in 1913.

two days in Australia. During this
time the White Sos could travel up
and down the island to their hearts
delight. playing as many exhibition
games as they desired. The Australians
have been students of the diamond
game for many seasons and while
1t has not reached an advanced stage,
they are capable of giving any team
a full game. Undoubtedly they would
find it puzzling trying to hit some OF
the pitching that Commy would trot
out but at the same time the young
sters who are learning the game there
would appreciate being shown how
much more they have to learn.
The business people of the big cities
in Australia are more than anxious
to attract a big league team. Naturally
the advertising is what they seek. but
at the same time they are willing to
produce good coin of the realm to
show their sincerity in such an affair
Ewing will get in communication with
them al 500 as he returns to Frisco
and by the time Commy and his White
Sox band arrive in California nexl
spring for their training. something
definite will be known. Should such
a trip really be selected about eighteen
players would be taken.

Wolgast Says Forrest is
The Toughest of Fighters

Eddie decided that that kind of labor
was not made for him.
Store Clerk.
Hustling around again in the Balti-
mo- burg, Forrest secured a position
in a store as a clerk. This was in the
year of 1907. Eddie was in a posi-
ton to come in contact with various
sporting men Of the Oriole city and
the future professional pug overheard
many conversations. especially in the
line of pugilism. as that game was
just beginning to bloom in Baltimore.
Young Britt; the featherweight OF
the monumental town, was making
somewhat of a sensation around the
Maryland city, and although he had
participated in but q dozen fights. he
stopped his foes in short order. Britt
was the talk of the town and his name
was on almost everybody's lips.
Day after day Forrest heard the
same thing over again. Britt was a
coming wonder and could stop any
one within the city limits Of Baltimore
was the dope. Right off the bat Eddie
took 1t UP. He made 1t known that
in his estimation the wonderful Britt
wasn't much of a bear and he would
take a crack at him any time.
Forrest was interrogated whether
he yer wore the mitts before. Nope,
but he had shown his superiority over
many a tough NUT who tried to trim
him in a street fight. The promoter
fell for FORESTS earnest chatter and
the placards for the next stag were
, printed-Eddie Forrest vs. Young
Britt.
Forrest Game.
Well, Britt certainly clashed into a
tartar, for although Forrest almost hit
the former once. he just ate every
punch-jabs. hooks and jolts-that
Britt fired at him. Sir Edward u.s.
simulated the punishment without ev-
en- backing away and his gameness SO
impressed the promoter of the club,
and also the spectators. that he did
not have much trouble In securing
other bouts.
! In his first half a dozen fights. For
rest took ONE awful lacings. He did
not know the first thing about boxing.
He could fight. but that didn't count
within the squared circle. where box
ing predominated. His opponents
would jab Edie's ears off. and al the
finish of each scrap Forests face
look like an advertisement for a
butcher shop.
But Forrest decided that 1t wouldn't
pay him in the long run to jump
through the ropes every now and then
to set an Unnecessary trimming. SO
he gradually learned the finer points
of the game. and can now hand out
as we'll take a gruelling.
Impresario Lew Bailey has hooked
up Forrest to box the fast coming
Roy Horst at the Broadway A. C.'s
weekly stag. and he states that he is
on edge to make things pretty warm
for the Camdenite.
No matter II ] get licked or not
quotes the Forrest fighter. I'm still
be the TOUGHEST lightweight In the
world"
