believe Joe would give him the fight
of his life.
Two Clubs Only.
At St Louis, two weeks ago, a big
boxing show was called off because
the attendance was too light. ST.
Louis is a larger city than Milwaukee,
but It is almost unheard of in the
beer town-the calling off of a show
for any reason. There are only two
clubs operating in St. Louis, which
goes to prove that no matter how large
the city fans VIII not support more
than about two clubs. When there
were two clubs operating in Milwaukee
several years ago they made money,
but when the clubs became more
numerous they lost coin. Under the
new boxing law there is no limit to
the number of clubs in Milwaukee and
as a result there are about four now
trying to exist.
Iron in Gloves.
The mystery of the iron in the glove
of a boxer at st. Louis during recent
show there has at last been explained.
Battling Hoffman. a Milwaukee boxer,
was accused of padding his glove with
iron bars but the battling one who
arrived home this week, says of the
incident:
You see it was this way. When
i was training in the gymnasium I no
Ticed a young fellow using a pair of
gloves and he had small dumb-bell
inside the glove telling me he could
hit harder that way. Well was
matched to fight George Ordlep a few
nights later and when we We're in the
ring they threw in an old pair Of
gloves
Ny seconds picked one pair and it
happened that they We're the same
gloves that the young fellow had used
in punching the bag with in the gym.
I told my seconds that there was
something inside and he investigated.
pulling out the small dumb-beH. ]
did not use the gloves in the fight, but
some one started a story that I had
an iron bar in the mitt and might have
killed the other boxer. Gee, if I had
hit the fighter before me with that
dumb-beu in my glove it would have
been flowers for him sure, for I put
him down twice as it was and no
iron bar either"
If Tom McCarey, the Los Angeles
promoter, has succeeded in matching
Jimmy Clabby and Jack Dillon over
the the marathon route during Jan
uary, he IS to be congratulated. The
match is one that should attract at
tention from one end of the country
to the other and if it is made at the
legitimate middleweight limit Of 1853
pounds, or even four hours before the
contest, it should be recognized as a
match for the American champion
snip in the middleweight class thus

4 HWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. PA
MI new star in the lightweight di-
~ vision was brought to the
front when Charlie White, the Chi
cago 1873 FOUNDER, held Ad Wolgast to
a good draw before the National Ath-
letic club. of Milwaukee. The test he
had with WoIgast convinced the hun
dreds of fans present that he has more
class than many have given him credit
for possessing. White suffered a set
back in his bout with Johnny Dun
Gee at New Orleans, but as he had
beaten Dundee once before that it
was a case of eVens.
In his contest with the exchampiOn,
the Chicago lad stood toe TO toe at
times and sluggeds just 70 show that
ne could stand the ga1L and then
again he stood of and used his long
left to splendid advantage. He also
showed that he has a fine right hand
with right crosses White fought I'M
der wraps that night, for he had a
very sore side, the result of three bat
ties close together with Kid Kansas,
Dundee and Griffiths. With a little
more experience and pound or two

weights. His advance has been grad

their 10th or 18th meeting in the ring

Sam was hog fat at the time and

men announced the match for the

JOHNNY BATES TO
BE WITH SENATORS
Despite Garry Herrmaun's Denials, the
Veteran Outfielder Is Said TO BE
Slated For Washington.


Washington, D, c.. Dec. 27-FrOm
one who is supposed to know, comes
the tip that despite the various denials
from Garry Hermann, owner of the
Cincinnati Reds, Johnny Bates, the vet
eTan Outfielder, will wear a Washington
uniform next season.
As far back as the worlds series the
Old Fox tried to induce Hermann to
part with Bates. offering a good price
for him, but the Cincinnati magnate
did not care to talk business. and when
the newspapers started to discuss the
proposed deal Hermann put a stop to
all the chatter by announcing that he
had decided to keep Bates.
Griff would rather have Bates than
any Of the other available National
league material, for Johnny played I'M
der the Old Fox and Griff always liked
his work.
With Joe Tinker at the helm. last
season Bates was always in hot water.
and the pair got along about as we'll
as couple of game cocks in a barn

are said to be sore on Bates-another
reason why the Outfielder NAV he

The real truth of the matter is that

such an attractive offer for the veteran
that the Cincinnati magnate will be
willing to talk business.
Bates Is 80 years old, and has had
a checkered career in baseball. He
was with the Boston Nationals a +siI
