Hugh Bedient. bought by the Jersey

summer for $50, and now sold to the
Boston Red Sox for $4,000 in players
and cash. has suddenly jumped from par
tial obscurity into position Of promi-
hence among the pitchers Of the country.
The deal leaked out as to how the
Shelters got five players from the Bos-
ton team. to say nothing Of fat check
in addition. The funny part Of it is that
Bedient was on the reserve lis: of the
Boston club when sold to Jersey City for
$50 last summer, and the club was forced
to pay dearly for letting him slip out Of
its fingers.
Bedient was drafted from the Fall
River club two years ago by the Red
Sox. and went to the coast with the
team last spring. Later he was farmed
out to the Providence club Of the Inter-
national League, but did not do particu-
larry well until bought by Jersey City.
after Providence had tried to turn him
back to Boston. Suddenly, however. he
showed q flash Of his real skill and was
allowed to play out ..,e season with
Providence, with the consent of James
j. Ldllis. The more games he pitched
the more valuable he grew. and when
Jimmy McAleer bought an interest In
the Boston Red Sox he maae UP his
mind that he must get Bediant back at
any cost. This cost approximately was
$4,000, as in the meantime Jack Dunn
Of the Baltimore club had offered Mt.
Lillis as high as 5000 for the pitcher.

$4,000 OFFERED FOR
THE JOHNSON FIGHT
''Jack" CurIey Refuses to Ac-
cept It, and Says Western
Pacific Will Build Arena.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, January 13.-One more
ffty-thousand- dollar offer for the "Jack"
Johnson Jim" Flynn bout came from
over the border last night The Bassaao
Athletic Club Of Bassano. Alberta, Can
ada, sent q lengthy message to Jack
Curley. guaranteeing this amount for the
big battle, and setting the date for July
I. the Canadian national holiday. TIE
message stated that Bassano Is midway
between Winnipeg and Vancouver, and
that in the radius Of 200 miles the. Q were
10000 persons.
Curley says 1t will be impossible to hold
the match in that country. because Ca
madam pugilistic laws do not ALLOW I'm
ish contest, and, for that matter, a
knockout Is barred. Limited round bouts
only are tolerated. Also the boxers must
wear eight-ounce gloves.
When he read the telegram Curley de-
clared that he had received a few mo Q
in similar vein. but that the Sat Lake
promoters still are on the ground flo r,
and that the battle will be held in the
west The Western Pacific Railroad
Company will build the arena 70 tho

BRIS LORD ONE MAN WHO

Connie Mack, by Careful Instructions, Made
800 Hitter Out Of Fielder Who
Was Weak Batter.

Bris Lord. left fielder Of the Athletics.
10 an example Of a player who can be
taught to bat. Bris has always been a
fair hitter. but the years that he has
been in the 800 class have been few.
Lord batted scant 25i in 1910. but his
average was pulled down by batting
slump while with Cleveland In the mid
die of the season Lord was traded to the
Mackmen. and his batting Immediately
improved. In the games he played with
the Athletics In 1910 Lord batted close
to the 800 mark.
Last season saw Bris do the best hat
ting Of his career. He was carefully
tutored by Mack down south last spring,
and Connie broke him of the habit Of
hitting bad balls. He also coached Bris
into a place hitter. and the stout man
from Upland can now whale the ball to
any field.
Now in 800 Class.
So we'll did Lord improve in batting last
season that he was credited with an Of
fetal percentage Of $40 in 13i games, an
exceedingly clever showing. There is no

pounds heavier than when the Athletics
disbanded. Only a lack OF weight has
prevented Krause from being a sensa-

game a week. With the extra weight he
should be able to make better showing

which is handicapped by the fact that
Cunny takes a double swing with his
bat. Griffith proposes to break him OF
this habit and figures that there Is no
better time to do this than during the
early training period. before all the play
ers have reported. for it will give Grin
a chance to pay particular attention TO
Cunningham.
1t is evident that it is going to be
harder for those major league clubs who
have promising youngsters to farm them
