Two boxers who are looked upon

MICKEY sheridan of Chicago and Billy
wagner OF Cleveland.
sheridan made his home I'm Detroit
Tor while this fall and appeared in
one bout In Windsor, where he made
a favorable impression as a clever
boxer. willing fighter and game
boy. He was bothered with liver
trouble and gave up the game for a
short time, going TO Chicago Since
recovering from his illness he has
made the Windy City his home.
Billy Wagner is an Ankovitz boy,
brother TO two other AnkovitZ's who
have chosen the name OF White, and
all of them are excellent fighters. BY
the way Wagner handled Patsy
Drouillard at Windsor two weeks ago
he showed conclusively that he was
one OF the most masterful ring gen.
erals who has appeared in the Wind
sor arena. He is confident that he
can slip IL over the Chicago kid.
Ii Is said that Sheridan has com.
pletely recovered from his recent III.
ness so that he will be in prime con.
dition. He always takes good care OF
himself. Wagner, too, always keeps
in condition, so there is no fear on
that score

UNFAIR TO BOXERS TO
TOUCH THEM UNTIL
THEY ARE clINcHED

II is not only contrary to the
rules but unfair TO the fighters
10 make any attempt to part
them when they are simply
resting on each other and not
clinched, according TO Referee
Rocks, who is the third man in
the ring at the Windsor bouts.
During clinches and when
the boys are resting on eacE
other they are thinking" says
Rocks. They are planning
how to meet the others attack
or how to break his defense. II
they are not in clinch | have
no right to touch them"
There is a constant clamor
for the referee to break EN-"
at Windsor whether the boxers
are clinched or simply resting
against each other. This Is due
no doubt to failure on the part
OF the fans TO remember that
the third man In the ring is
powerless unless the fighters
are clinched.

fair record, winning IL games and los

Last year, Johnny was both the
pride and despair of the Albany fans.
The first part of the season he didn't
hit well, but fielded a very fast game.
He was known as the best waiter"
on the team, and got his base on balls
oftener. perhaps, than any other play
er in the league.
At times Johnny's fielding was phe-
nomenal, and justified the verdict or
many old.timers- that he was the most
finished shortstop in the Sally league.
Again he would make the most mex

chances, so that 1t often appeared to

Y. NJ. c. 4. NOTES.

A miniature of the County. Y. NJ. G.
A. Camp is being conducted at Laurel
Springs by the Camden County Com
mittee. The Gloucester County secre-
tary is cooperating and zhas secured
some boys from here and also from
Pitman to go. It is a 3-day camp,
from Monday to Thursday of each
week. Swimming, boating, fishing,
hiking, Scout activities, first aid work,
camp-fires, etc.
It's a great three-day holiday for
the boys and helps break the mono
tony of the summer vacation for those
who can't get away. The only cost
is carfare and little extra for milk
and eggs. The boys bring their food
and the directors prepare it for them
ON the, community basis, each boy
bringing different articles and the
whole put into the camp store.
It's hoped that these short camps
may become a feature of the county
work.
