FRISCO BOXING GAME IN DANGER OF BEING KILLED

At that, the fellows who derive a
sustenance from boxing are I'M
easy. 1t is felt that soberness and
severity comprise the earmarks of
the 1913 legislature in California
and that any measure suggestive of
reform is liable to be passed to
print"
If the sport is tabooed it will be
some time before San Francisco
adapts itself contentedly to new
conditions. This is one place in
which the popularity Of boxing
never wanes. It is nigh onto 80
years since lighting was converted
into an indoor sport in this city.
yet the thing continues to flourish
like a green bay tree.
Public Has Become Educated.
And it is only fair to say that the
game has been shorn of many of
its Objectionable features. The
public has become educated to it."
as the saying is, and the changes
of faNrg successfully have been
minimized to such an extent that
crookedness has been practically
abandoned.
If the game goes under the older

with living in the past. And what
a pugilistic retrospect San Fran

~ AN FRANCISCO, Feb. SIS
- boxing to be placed under the
ban in California? Senator
Brown, of Los Angeles, says it is,
but senator's err in the prognosti-
cations at times.
Brown is anxious to stamp out
professional pugilism in this state
and in pursuance of his purpose he
has framed a bin which is to be
passed upon by the legislature at
present in session.
In the new measure everything
bearing upon boxing contests is
made a felony Nothing in the
shape of side issues has been over
looked. If q complement of fans
want to discuss the possibilities
Of scrap that is to take place in
some other state they will have to
go out into the sand dunes and
talk in whispers.
Too Much of a Blue Law.
1t IS such prohibitory, air tight,
water tight affair that there is
promise of it being self strangled.
Senators and assemblymen who
ordinarily have little use for the
sport of gloves are likely to con-
clude that the Brown law is too
much of a blue law and refuse TO
accord it their support.

r HE Crackers will be worked this
spring as never q team was
worked before in the Southland. Bill
will have his men out right after
breakfast, and they will be lucky if
they get back by shutdown.
And speaking Of that-Bil may
have his Crackers here in three or
four weeks
The coming of the Crackers this
year will be a matter of particular
interest. The old club of 1912 has
been knocked to bits, and there
will be a mess Of new players here
for trials.
With a clean slate and a new
deal with all old scores settled and
new account opened. there will
undoubtedly be a revival in interest
in baseball here. or course, last
year, with the worst team in the
world, the attendance was big. But
what it win be this year. if the
team shows anything at all. will
set new Southern league retords.

up just as strong as at the finish
of the 1911 campaign.
McInnis, who supplanted the
veteran Harry Davis at first in
1911, finished the season with a
batting average Of 1927. Next to
Hal Chase, there is no better first
baseman. His fielding is sensa-
tional.
Some of the one hand stops that
Stuffy makes are marvellous. He
appears to be improving all the
time, too, if that is possible. Al.
though he Is rated as the sloWeSt
base runner of the quartet, he got

Collins the Real Speed King.
Collins is the real speed king Of
the bunch. The former Columbia
student, who surprised the fans by
stealing 81 sacks in 1909, this being
the greatest number stolen by any
player since the days of Bill Lange
got away with 90 cushions in 1917
twice stealing six bases In a single
game. To show, too, that he is not
going back, Eddie banged the
horsehide at .34S clip. Baker was
just one point below him.
There are some who thought John
Franklin was a bit below form last
season, but his figures at the end
of the race showed that he did his
share of good work.
Barry led all the shortstops in
the league for the past two years
Last year he batted 261, which is
close to the average he earned in
former seasons.
