San Francisco. Dec. 20.--Tommy
Burns, the one-time champion of the
world. who is here directing the train
ing of Arthur Pelkey for the latter's
New Years bout with Gunboat Smith,
claims to have completely remodeled
his protege's system of fighting.
It has taken Tommy six months. ac-
cording to his own telling, to trans
form Arthur from a sw1nger into a
straight hitter. and the results achiev-
ed have justified the time and pains
devoted to the undertaking.
The strangest thing about Il ali is
that Burns, after his years and years
of service both as a ring man and a
coach, should consider the transmuta-
ton of Arthur Pelkey's boxing iom-
plete and not be troubled with fears
of a reversion to the old order OF
things

under cover of his famous crouch and

invariably with his terrible left and
occasionally with an overland right.
White was bothered somewhat by
the Wolgast methods at the start, but
he soon solved the mystery. Then he
started hooking with both his hands
and hitting viciously. He popped Ad
on the right ear ten times a round
with the left, damned up his right eye

with the right.
The Chicago boy had but one bad

NEW BALI, BAT

New York, Dec. 20.-Ty Cobb has
turned inventor. The smuggling out
fielder of the Detroit Tigers has made
n bat which will do away with the
sting-not that which is brought upon
the pitcher when Ty peels off a base
hit, but the sting which goes through
the batter's hands when the bat and
ball meet.
Cobb's new bat has a thin layer of
cork at the handle. This prevents the
bat from slipping and If successful will

showed their disapproval by hooting
and kissing the two fighters.
In the fifth round the champion
claimed he had injured his right arm,
but continued to fight. Jack looked to
be holding fat and altogether in very
poor condition. Neither man showed
any speed or skill at any period. Jack.
however was undeniably superior in
generalship and skill to his practically
unknown opponent.

with comfortable margin to spare.
In fact we think White was so much
the better man at the finish that his
timidity prevented his scoring a more
decisive victory. Wolgast. to raose
who watched him closely, showed
signs of being ready to drop. He was
"in, as the ring birds say. White,
with his extreme caution, refused to
step in and try to finish him. He hurt
AID badly early in the round and had
the Wildcat doing the lighters dance"
to keep his wits about him.
