With the grand lid-lifting of the In
ternational League season only two
days off the fans are specializing on
the probable pitching selections of
Manager Harry Smith of the Newark
Tigers and Manager Joe Kelley of the
Toronto Maple Leafs. From this dis
lance it looks as though big and
husky Bert Maxwell, the Texas ran
cher, who exercised such an uncanny
jinx over the Bengals last season, will
be elected to oppose Newark by
Manager Kelley.
Maxwell the possessor of a slow
ball that is a teaser and hard to hit,
had the Tigers on his hip last season
Though the Tigers hit him hard they
couldn't seem to concentrate their fire
in the pinches. Maxwell doesn't
know how to throw a curve ball, but
he has fair control and a good
''knob." \ staff of pitchers such as
Maxwell wouldn't be of much value
to a team, but one man, with such a
delivery gets by when opposing bat
smiths are accustomed to hitting
against speed. His slow ball tenn
porarily deranges their batting vision
and has a tendency to throw a club
of, its stride.
Next to Maxwell DiclSie Rudolph is
Kelley's most likely selection but
Rudolph in spite of the fact that he
was the leagues best pitcher accord
ing to the averages found 1t harder to
BATTLE the Bengals in 1912 than any
other club in the league, according to
his own admission Newark knocked
the Toronto star out of the "crow's

DriSCOH and
Kline Pinned
for Their Bout

No bout that Patsy Kline has ever
participated in has caused so much
talk as the one which takes place
at the Hillside Athletic Club with
Young Driscoll as Kline's opponent.
The comment on the bout has been
of such a nature that many of the
fans will journey to the club with
the expectation of seeing the little
Newarker suffer defeat at the hands
of the Brooklynite.
Kline has been having no easy
time with the boys he has met in the
past few months. OF course the boys
he has been pitted against have not
been easy marks, but were more of
a test as to kline's ability. Fortu-
nately Kline came out best in all of
the affairs except in the encounter
with Driscoll. The one bout seems
to have lost him much prestige and
to make up for this Kline will try
hard to win by knockout.
There is much at stake for both
men in this bout. Each lad is de-
termined to win, because the victor
has been promised chance to meet
Johnny Kilbane when he returns TO
the East Kline has hattled with
Kilbane as has Driscoll, and while
both admit he is tough customer
they say they have an equal chance of
winning. Kline looks to be the man
that Kilbane is sidestepping. and the
local favorite wants just one more
try for the championship honors.
