QUICK THINKING is NECESSARY
FOR THIRD MAN In PRIZE RING

Harry Stout, referee of the
West Side and Orleans Athletic
clubs of New Orleans, believes
that officiating as third man i'm

We We're tanning a short time

maybe you don't realize 1t, but
refereeing requires quicker work
than anything | know of. You've
got to think quick, act quicker
and not make a mistae, in order
to treat both boxers and public
fairly. These aviators haven't
anything on referees.

head and hands continually.
When Mandot Knocked Hayes
down the first time the crowd was
in an uproar and an exploding
cannon could not have peen

without hesitating, I Topped
on the floor beside Hayes, count
ing the seconds with my mouth
close to his ear. I realized, the
instant Hayes went down that
unless I got to his side he never
would hear the count, that the
crowd could not hear it and It
would leave an opening for a
fluke win, for Hayes could always
claim he did not hear my voice,
which probably would be true.
AS Hayes was knocked down more
than once, l had a busy after
noon.
After the fight stories We're
cireulted that coterie of gamb
lers had a finger in the pie, to
job Hayes, but there was not a
word of truth in it. Both Hayes
and his manager told me after
ward that If Hayes had started to
make the pace earlier, they might
have a kick coming, which was an
acknowledgment that they were
content. Mandot had Hayes al
most out in the seventh, ninth
and eleventh and but for brok-

pHILLIES LOOK LIKE CHAMPIONS
BY G. II. PuIford.

Will the worlds championship
be staged in Philadelphia next
fall? 1t looks like the Athletics
and Phillies.
1t seems like trough stuff" to
pick a winner before the flag
drops, but the Phillies look like
champions barring accidents
such as beat them out of the flag
last fall.
One umbling block in the
Pills path is Horace Fogel, presi-
dent. If Horace gives Doom a
free hand the hustling catcher
manager ought to be out in front
about Oct. L.
The team has everything that
makes a winner. 1t has three of
the best pitchers in Alexander,
Moore and Chalmers. Cliff Cur
tiss is better than the average,
with good support Manager
Doom has splendid young pitch
ers, who look ripe. Chief of these
are Kutz from Wilkesbarre and
Masters from Mansfield, o.. He
also has "Toots" Schultz and AID
Brennant, last year with Buffalo.
Hall, Oldham, Seaon, Hunt and
Rasmussen.
Philadelphia got Kutz from
Wilkesbarre, because 1t had the
pick of the team. Clymer tried to
cover up the youngster, but
failed and has since said Kutz
looked better last fall than Alex
ander did a year ago. He ought
to be a strong second string man
at least. Masters played but seven
weeks at Mansfield, but Doom was
enthusiastic about him at Hot
Springs and the players are sweet
on him. Schultz ought to be
right. He was the best of the col
lege pitchers two years ago. AL
exander, Chalmers and Moore will
win 60 per cent of their games.
The first named should be better
than last season; Chalmers came
strongest when the club lost
ground and Moore, when content
ed, has few equals. Oldham,
Brennant and Hunt are left-hand-
ers and il the latter can get con-
troll, he will do. He is better than
when he was with Boston. Old
man is IS, with bright prospects
Brennant will do IL the sun is not
too hot. Seaton and Rasmussen
were coast stars and are well rec
commended.
Back of the plate is Doom. one
of the great catchers. In addition
there is Pat Moran, who will coach
young pitchers; Peaches" Graham
and Bill Killifer, another improv-
ed backstop, who will be working
regularly before the season ends
This quartet forms as good a back
stopping department as the league
boasts of.
The infield Is intact. At first Is
Luderus, whose batting was SC
sensational last year. Otto Knabe
the fiery little second baseman, IL
a sensation and hits we'll. DR.
Doolan, at short, is one of the
greatest fielders and throwers In
the game and in pinch is g
dangerous batter. Hans Lobert
at third, is the fastest man in base
ball and terrific hitter.
