NE WYORk, Oct. 30--Harry Brew
er. a Kansas City welterweight, who
has just returned from Paris, says that
the first good heavyweight who meets
Jack Johnson will beat him to a fraz-
zle Brewer states that Johnson
weighs 2S0 pounds and actually wad-
dies.
He says the big negro is all in finan-
cially and no longer is able to com
mand big money in the European mu-
sic halls. Brewer expresses the Opin-
ion that Johnson never will agree TO
box either Langford or Jeanette in
Paris and that if he fights at all his
next opponent will be Frank Moran
of Pittsburg.
No Longer Considered.
According to a letter recently re
ceived by Charles Harvey, secretary
of the state athletic commission. from
Victor Breyer, president of the French
Federation of Boxing clubs, Jack John

LONDON, Oct. 30.-It is believed in
English yachting circles that Sir
Thomas Upton will take advantage of
the omission from the articles of
agreement between the New York
Yacht club and the Royal Ulster Yacht
club governing the race for the Amer
ica's cup of the clause forbidding the
towing Of the challenger across the
Atlantic.
Sir Thomas refuses to commit him.

Oscar Witt. Tiger infelder, is get
ting into the literary circle Oscar
turned author" recently, and his first
contribution to a San Francisco paper
was on the most valuable ball player
in the world" Witt picks Eddie Col
lins and also says why he does not
pick Cobb, and tells at length what he
thinks of Tyrus. Oscars story follows
as it is printed under his real name:
In selecting the best ball player |
have seen, am picking the man who
does most to win games for the club
he represents. That man is unques-
tionably Eddie Collins, the great sec
ond baseman of the Athletics, to my
way Of thinking.
Here is one player who is willing to
sacrifice all personal gain to help his
club. When he is on the field it is
the Athletics he is trying to help. and
not Eddie Collins. That is the reason
why Mack's club is so successful. He
has players on it who are always play
ing to win, and not for individual
gain. However. the other members OF
the club can hardly be classed with
Collins
Collins is great whether he is play
ing the defensive or offensive,
In few departments of the game i:
he excelled He is a brilliant fielder
! who thinks quickly, and he makes bu
/ few mistakes. At the Rat he has few
superiors. He has a wonderful eye
and when he hits the ball he meets i
fairly, usually sending it away from
the plate on line for a clean drive
He can lay down a bunt with equa
skill. and it is hard TO figure him whel
he faces a pitcher
Net d Grandstander.
The point that l admire in Collin
is the fact that he never plays TO TIL
grandstand. He adopts the play tha
will help his club and not the one tha
will win him applause from the spet
