Record for the

jewelers. League bowlers completed
their string last night in the STAR
headpin on the %Troquois
alleys. They were assigned three
special nights and last night seven
teen teams turned out. There a been
fourteen teams Wednesday night and
the same number Thursday night, so
the total WAS forty-fve teams, easily
a record for any one organization
which has performed in the STAR
headpin bowling tournament since it
was organized in 1908.
The arrangements last night were in
charge of AL Johnson and Victor Hesse.
They ran things off smoothly. There
was a large gathering of rooters and
they watched the work of the bowlers
with interest. Otto Pohle, of the Car
ter-Howe aggregation, had high score,
with a mark of 1903. Fred Oetzel, of
the Richardson quintet, tailed 10S,
and Adolf Kleinknecht, of the same
team, rolled 1o1. william Mclaughlin,
OF the Krementz No. 2 five, scored 100.
Late in the evening George Dietg, Of
the Hedges A team, came through for
lo7.
In the first squad Burren, of the Link
& Angel No. 2 team, tailed so. He
missed in the third frame, but could
have taken a fob had he not fouled in
the tenth box. Both Opel and Holz-
hauer, OF the Krementz No. [ team
rolled 9S. Opel had twelve hits and
Holzhauer missed in the second frame.
Mclaughlin got his tally of 100 in
spite of a miss in the ninth frame. He
began with two strikes and finished
with a strike. Adolf K~leinknecht, of
the Richardson team, rolled 101 with a
miss in the fourth box. Oetzel got los
with a miss in the sixth. He started
with four strikes and then go nine
pins. A. miss followed but he got sew
eral mines and a strike for a windup
and finished with his creditable total.
Eckert rolled 81 with a miss in the
seventh. He finished with two strikes.
Pohls, of the Carter-Howe team, in get
ting 100, had twelve pretty hits
Gruenling, with two misses. had a
score OF 81. George Dietz. when he

A good story is going the rounds of
how Mr.. Ebbets stung Charley MUIR
phy in regard to Tim Jordan. With
his Toronto option in his pocket, Mr..
Ebbets was discussing matters base
baltic with Chubby Charles toward the
end of last season, when Murphy
edged the conversation around to Jor-
dan, made some favorable comments
on h4m, and said Brooklyn should have
him as a utility player because of his
batting. This started a train of
thought in the brain of Mr.. Ebbets.
He promptly offered to draw back
Jordan and trade or sell him to Chi
oago, on certain conditions favorable to
Brooklyn, Murphy pooh-poohed the
suggestions, saying he had no use for
Tim. Mr.. Ebbets had forgotten the
conversation, rs gave it no further
concern until he met Murphy the day
before the drafting season ended. Muir
ply was swelled up with pride and
v~ain-glory, and remarked with a grand
air: well, Charley, | have put in a
draft for your man Jordan The
Brooklyn magnate was knocked off his
feet for a moment. but passed 1t over
with a fippant remark. He excused
himself In a few moments. AS soon as
he was out OF sight he beat 1t around
the corner and put in drafts for three
more Of Toronto's players, among
whom was Shaw, the centre fielder

decisions barring boxers who do NOT

of them to their senses

When a boxer makes an unnatural
weight he places himself at the mercy
of his opponent.
Such matches are an. injustice to the
spectators, who pay to see two well
matched men. This was the case in the
recent Johnny Coulon-Harry Forbes
match.
1t is doubtful IL Forbes could have
won at his best, but there was no
chance for him at Ksnoshs, for he had
been "sweated' until his strength was
gone.
Such matches should be frcwned on
and promoters who match men under
suoh conditions mould be put out OF
business.
There Is no -sportsmanship in sending
a boy into the ring with strength
Slapped by matchmaking. The New
York State boxing commission might
watch this angle as well as %investt-
eating alleged fake matches.
Billy Nolan, manager of Battling Nel-
son, forced Zoe Cans to weigh in at
the ringside, in Goldfield, with his
toys on and make a weight that
took his strength, although Gans's
gameness carried him through forty
rounds of wonderful fighting. Some
attribNts Gans's death to this.
Kid Lavisne made Joe Wclcott do
