President of League An
nounces His Retire
ment
IA. 8. BURkHART.

A. s. Burkart, president Of the
Southern Michigan baseball associa-
ton, says that he is through with
baseball In that league. Burk has
been interested In the Saginaw club
for the past six years, but other busi-
ness interests are taking too much OF
his time and he says that he's out
and that's final.
Just what disposition will be made
OF the Saginaw club Mr.. Burkarts IL
not In position just now to say. Re-
ports from Battle Creek we're TO the
effect that II. E. Holmes, Of Dayton,
o., has purchased the club and will
take II over. It Is known that
Messrs. Burkart and Holmes have
been negotiating over the proposition,
but Burkart refuses TO say anything
about the Battle Creek reports, con-
corning his club.
He does put quietus on the story,
however, that the league is TO be Que
of eight teams next season, taking In
Pontiac and Mt. Clemens Of the
Border league. Both these. teams
must pay q high price to be released
from the Border league and II is en-
tirely improbable that they will do so
The fum0r that James Frank Is TO
take over the Bay City club is alb
surd, says Burkart.

RING HISTORY MAY REPEAT in THE
MANDOT- -WOLGAST BATTLE TODAY

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. AFTER
looking over some of the facts In the
coming bout. there are many things
that will no doubt interest few Of
us who are familiar with certain
events. II was Just four years ago
last Sept. 20 that Ad Wolgast first
appeared In a Western ring, and that
was with Danny Webster, OF Los An
geles. who was then the featherweight
champion Of the West, and hap
pened to be the third man in the ring
that night, and had a great chance TO
size up the then supposed tough boy
from the East. They made Webster
a two-to-one favorite over Wolgast on
training camp dope, and II looked like
Webster ought to be the favorlte.
WoIgast was In bad condition that
night, even though half the crowd af-
terwards thought he put up great
fight. Well, to get down TO facts, he
loafed for about thirteen rounds, and
up TO that time had never put my
hands on them, but the fight began TO
drag then and | called them both, and
II remember that Wolgast looked at
me and got kind of sore and said you
tend to this fellow. Well, he did, and
In the eighteenth round he shifted on
Webster and sunk his left In the stom-
ach and that was the end OF the Los
Angeles favorite.
Right then / took or my hat to- Vol
CAST, and predicted that he would
some day be champion. He then went
along with fair success until he met

big Elks' convention, July 13, 1909, and
right then Nelson was at his best.
Well, wolgast was despised short.
ender and no one gave him chance,
but that did not worry Wolgast, for he
went into that ring and handed Mr.
Nelson a nice little trimming, and at
the end OF the tenth round l was
among the first to tell Ad that II he
ever got Nelson in longer fight the
championship was his. Everybody
Knows what happened.
Pugilistic history was made that
night. Il gave Wolgast all the conf..
ldence that he could beat Nelson, and
also a good line ON how to fight him
the next time, and We all know what

corked his famous trick play in which

by the officials on the ground that IL
was illegal: In 1908, Penn walked
away with the game by score Of 2S

score OF 12 to s.: the following year

ANN ARBoR, Mich, Nov. 4.-lspe-
cfaI. LII is believed here that Micni-
gan will uncork some dazzling trick
plays in the Cornell and Pennsy
games. So far only one or two iake
plays have been sprung, and tne team
has stuck closely TO the "old army
game" but In view Of the fact that

defeat the two eastern teams than
upon the old-style plunging game.
Michigan has met tPennsylyania
seven times. and of the seven games
has won two. The first game between
the two institutions was played IN
1889. when Penn won BY q single
point, the score being II 70 10. No

will have the benefit Of years ex-

be better equipped to put up cham

get away to running start. which II
did not do this year.
Had Washington been up among
the leaders when 1t won IL games In
row. the American league champion
ship pennant would have fioated over
the. home OF the senator's. But the
team started poorly and had much
ground to gain before 1t was on fight
ing terms with Chicago and Boston.
With the prospect of pennant
Clark Griffith is doing lot OF think

other major ieaguers passed him up.
II Grifith can pick up one good
pitcher and an outdelder who can hit
90 and field like Shanks, Washington

they line up for the pistol next April.
When the "Grny Fox spent $los
600 for fsandil, he made Washington
a, first-diyision team. There is moth.

Grifith has the team pulling for

WANTS NATIONAL
BOXING COMMISH
Points to Success of New
York Scheme for
Example

NEW YORK, Nov. A National
boxing commission with power TO
adopt rules for the game. is the sus-
gestion made today by Charles j.
Harvey, secretary OF the state ath-
letic commission.
He would have a national organiza.
ton, composed of all the leading
club owners. These men could elect
their own officers, and choose COM
mlttee to actively supervise the stag
ing of boxing contests in all parts
OF the country.
Harvey based his suggestion on the
success attained by state regulation
of boxing In New York, and on the
smoothness with which the nationai
baseball agreement works out.
