Mclaughlin headed the Californians, who
were triumphant. Under the newly adopt

final round he defeated Wallace +. John

Two new champions were crowned in
the year of 1912. Ad Wolgast, OF Cadillac.

Battling Nelson. was defeated by Willie
Richie, of san Francisco, in sixteen
rounds on foul. The defeat OF Wolgast

beaten by Jose Rivers and was saved on
questionable decision by the referee.

years ruled In his class with an iron

With Attel passed the last of the old
guard which linked the day Of Terry Nc

George Munroe and many other famous
men OF the last decade with the present
day boxers. Recognized a. featherwelght
champion since McGovern went down
before the attacks Of Young Corbett In
1901, Attell fought and whipped every
man ia the featherweight class who
faced him. He also fought many light
weights and came through all with few
checks and no serious reverses. Abe be-
gan to lose his best form about two years
ago, but, master OF all the finer points of
his profession. he was able to loaf along,
picking his opponents carefully. and gain
the popular decision in many ten-round

defeat when he fought Klbane. but the

Watermen Of this country will look back
ON the year 1912 with pleasing sense OF

ing the twelve months just elapsed there
was a steady increase In the number OF
~ontestlng men. the calibre was better
and the meets attended by larger CROWDS
than ever before.
Particularly significant vas the rise OF
the Younger element. Both the elementary
and the high schools developed swimmers,

and place winners I'm several of the ma

Another farreaching happening of the
season was the strike Of the Detroit base
ball players because Ty Cobb was sus-
pended for assaulting a spectator at
American League Park In this city. The
team refused to play Il game with the
Athletics and Hughie jennings was forced
to recruit a nine from semi-professionh
players in Philadelphia in order to save
the Detroit clubs franchise. Ban John
son handled the situation with an iron
hand and forced the players to return to
the diamond before he would consider
Cobb's case. Ty finally was reinstated,
but the team was badly disorganized for
the rest OF the year. The formation of
the Baseball Players Fraternity was the
outgrowth of this incident
The death Of John T. Brush robbed
baseball of one of its most experienced
leaders. Horace Fogel. president Of the
Phillies, was barred from the councils Of
the National League after charges made
by President Lynch had been sustained
in a sensational trial in this city Lynch
charged that Fogel had made statements
rejecting on the integrity of baseball.
The vindication of Lynch AT the trial re-
suited in his unanimous election for an
other term at the head OF the League.
