| Just come out of a hospital after an
operation for appendicitis. 1t has
been a noted fact that high priced
youngsters in baseball have been very
expensive propositions. Some make
good, but the vast majority either fail
or encounter some sort of tough luck
that hampers their prospects.

The New York Yankees beat Cleve-
land yesterday in a game in which Joe
jackson made three errors. This in
formation is as important as if Cleve
| land had won and the same Joe jack
son had three hits. 1t is even more
so, for Jackson is supposed to do
lot of hitting, but he is not supposed
to make any errors.

When Mathewson pitches and when
Johnson pitches there are not many
guesses coming. Matty laid st. Louis
low at the Polo Grounds yesterday
and Johnson did likewise to the other
ST. Louis team. big Six and the
big Swede" would break up the
league if they ever got on the same
team at the same time.

Boxing is so dead in the East that
the Mcmahon brothers have allowed
the st. Nicholas Rink Club to slip
out of their grasp. They failed to
make good all the stipulations in
their lease, and they apparently
didn't want to hold on to the place
as boxing show club. The trouble
has been that the McMahons made
too strenuous efforts to secure the
big matches. They outbid the Garden
A. C. more than once, and they lost
heavily in most of their big bouts. To
outbid the Garden is going some. In
the first place the Garden on general
principles is worth more than any
other building in New York in which
to hold a fight. People will go there
who would not think of going any
where else. and they will pay the
high prices with a welcome. Besides,
the Garden will accommodate 80
many more persons than any of the
other clubs that the promoters natu-
rally would be in better position to
offer larger inducements than others
Still the Garden rarely outbid the
McMahons, but the competition put
the McMahons out of business.

AS the McMahons step out of st.
Nicholas Rink. Jimmy Johnston, for
years manager of celebrities of the
prize ring, steps in. Johnston intends
to run the ring on paying basis,
and he doesn't figure on giving all
the money to the fighters He is
going to have big fights, but the price
must be right. If not, some other
club can take the risk, Johnston says
and stand for the losses. Jimmy is
a wise fellow, and 1t is said he is tc
have full sway in the management OF
the club. He knows the business
surely, from one end as we'll as the
other. He was interested with Billy
Gibson in the Fairmount Club ant
he has managed fighters of all des-
criptions. He is smart and active
and is sure to get along if he is moi
hampered by the money men behind
him.
