Ting Hurley, and George Carroll, who
handles Tony Bender, have matched
their respective proteges for a six
round bout at the Eleventh Ward
4 Athletic Club, this city, one week
from tonight. 1t is not known wheth-
err the match will take place at the
outdoor arena or the clubs new in
door house. A victory for Bender
will probably mean several New York
matches for him.
Ralph Rose, who has himself been
called a perfect specimen of physi-
cal manhood, describes HIGHLANDER,
the great Finn shot-putter, as the
best built mar In the world, and a
conner with the weights. The Finn
stands six feet four inches, forty
eight chest and very little stomach,
his waist measurement being thirty
six. Nicklander gave both Rose and
Mcdonald, the American competitors
in the Olympic games at Stockholm,
the fight of their lives in the two
handed shot-put, and it was only by
inches that Mcdonald took second
place from the Finn.
-
president Comiskey, of the Chicago
White Sox, has found the BEST train
ing camp for a major league baseball
club in California, If he has COM
pIeted arrangements to make Paso
Rubles his clubs headquarters next
spring"
This is the opinion of Manager
Harry Wolverton, of the New York
Highlanders. who was formerly leader
of the Oakland club of the Pacific
Coast League. The Highlanders VIII
not train in California, as President
Farrell, of that club. intends eliminat'
ing suchsa long journey from the
teams schedule.
George Mulligan, of Waterbury,
Conn, who is manager of Buddy
Faulkes, negro bantamweight cham
pion of America, announces that he
has issued a challenge to johnny
Conlon, worlds bantam title holder,
for a bout at ia pounds ringside.
Mulligan says he will wager $500 on
the side and box on a winner take all
basis. il Coulon will consent to a
match with Faulkes. Buddy is in daily
training at Waterbury, and is in the
pink of condition. Joe CKid) Shea,
bantam champion of New England,
and ..One Round" Nolan, a light
weight are also under the manage
ment of Mulligan.
Fighters who have won success are
generally ungrateful. The latest ex-
ample of this is Buck Grouse, the
Pittsburg middleweight. A few weeks
ago Grouse packed up and went to
Australia, leaving his manager, Jim
my Mason, behind. Mason was the
man who took Grouse when he was
raw and made a pretty successful
fighter of him. Grouse should have
felt very grateful toward Mason, who
had dom everything in the world to
further the interests of the rising
young middleweight. /
Managers will learn some day that
fighters are not of the appreciative
sort. Jack johnson rave Sam Fltz-
patrick a fine roughing after winning
the championship from Burns. Abe
Attell is never satisfied with any man
ager. And those are just two cases
out Of many.
s"The Boston Red 10 should win
the worlds championship of 1912 with
as much ease as we captured 1t IN
1911" says Connie Mack, of theNAth-
letics. Some people seem to be I'M
der the impression that the Boston
team is liable to WAIVER when the big
games are staged. But there is not
a cub or a %youngster in the lineup,
All are tried and true and VIII go
through the series without a culver"
Tommy Kilbane, Cleveland feather
weight, who, after being Knocked out
by Phil Brock several months ago
announced that he would retire from
the ring sport, a changed his mind.
He isn't going to quit, after all, but
according to present plans VIII be
buster than ever. On September u
he Is scheduled to box twelve rounds
with Steve Ketchel, of Chicago, at
Winnipeg. Manitoba.
