Brown, the Billiken kid.
"Shucks, work? Those fellows
are playing all the time" says Nor
gan. THE only way l can get
Brown to work is to keep him from
eating until he does and then he
beats me sometimes. But. say, he
certainly is the greatest player you
ever saw. At that, Britton and
Savage are not far behind; but let
me tell you that there's only one
working man in the crowd. That's
me-trying to keep the rest of them
busy"
I T wouldn't do to let the idea
creep in that Brown is not taking
the Abel bout seriously. He takes
everything in the world seriously,
and he isn't likely to make any ex-
ceptlon in this case. He knows
what an awful smuggling Abel gave
Mandot, even if Joe did get the de-
cision He is not taking any chances
of serving as a punching bag for
anybody.
1t is not improbable. if Brown
comes through all right against
Abel, that he will get a bout with
Joe Mandot in New Orleans. New
Orleans promoters gave him a lot
of encouragement to believe that if
he could whip Russell, the French
Market kid, he would be next in
line for a chance at that greater
product of the French Market Toe

And Knockout Brown would

~ ed Al Kubiak in a corking ten
round bout at the Dixie A c., and
thereby worked himself a notch
nearer a fight with Luther McCarty
for the white heavyweight cham
pionship.
1t was the fastest scrap between
heavyweights ever staged in At
lanta and was full of rapid fire ac-
ton from start to finish. Savage
was clever, Kubiak had the wallop.
Whenever you get this kind of a
pair hooked up the doings are in
teresting.
Time and again Kubiak would
just barely miss in one of his pow
erful and wicked looking wallops
Every time he uncorked one the
fans would gasp, expecting to see
Savage go down for the count. But
Jim avoided all but one of these
tremendous offerings of the giant
Philadelphia.
Savage WabbIes in Fourth.
In the fourth round Savage led
with a straight left. Kubiak man
aged to ide-step in time and as he
did he shot a terrible right hook to
the jaw that almost dropped Saw
age to his knees One more wallop
and Savage would have surely been
knocked out.
But Savage. cool as an iceberg,
shook his head, did some fancy
footwork, and managed to avoid
the storm. 1t was wonderful gen
eralship on his part. That was the
only real blow that Kubiak landed
all evening.
Savage Has Swell Left.
Savage's left hand work was i'm
mense. He has a lightning fast
straight left that carries sting.
And he can hook the south paw to
perfection. His right hand carries
powerful kick, although he was
unable to work it to any decided
advantage except high on Kubiak's

head. Al fights with high left
shoulder guard and drops his head
so that it is almost impossible to
get him on the jaw with right
hand punch.
SaVage's in1ghting was pretty,
too. Every time the men went into
close quarters it looked as though
the giant Kubiak would tear the
New Workers. body to pieces, but
Jim had a perfect defense and the
infighting amounted to naught
1t was very entertaining scrap
and Kubiak deserves another
chance. Although defeated all the
way, excepting the fourth round,
Kubiak never stopped forcing the
fight and he gave the fans the beet
he had.
Kid Young Wins Again.

pion, stopped Red Nelson in one
round in the semi windup Young
carried too much of a kick for the
red-topped boy and finally sent him
to the canvas for the count.
Soldier Brown. from Fort Nc
PhersOn, gave Jack Clark such a
walloping in two rounds that the
latter refused to bulge from his
corner when the bell rang for the
opening of the third spasm.
Kid Mitchell and Christie VIII
liams, negroes, fought eight fast
rounds, in which Mitchell won by a
good margin.
Referee Mike Saul gave perfect
satisfaction.

TRAINING for any sort of ath-
letic event is harder than
working in coal mine. Foot
ball players live more abstemiously
than monk on a fast day Frank
Gotch gave up his lucrative wres-
Ting practice because it was such
hard work to train. It cost thou
sands on thousands of dollars to
get Jim Jeffries out of retirement,
because he knew well the horrors of
getting in condition. And many
say that Joe Cans actually trained
himself to death, that the continued
grind Of it wore him down into
consumption, which finally galloped
away with him.
The exception is Knockout Brown.
the New York aspirant for the
lightweight championship, who
meets Jake Abel Friday night at
the Atlanta Auditorium Armory.
Brown just wallows in training.
Sure" says Brown, II like to
train. It's easier than shoveling
coal"
And there you have IT,
Brown was brought up by folks
who work, work with their hands
and earn their bread by the sweat
OF their brows-and plenty of it.
IT he had not made q success as a
scrapper, Brown would have had to
resort to manual labor, for he isn't
one of your agile minded guys who
can go out and sell life insurance or
mining stock.
In fact, the three boxers in Dan
Morgan's stable train on fun. Dan
says so himself, and his veracity
isn't questioned. According to
Colonel Morgan, he's the only
worker on his staff. Brown, Britton
and Savage train as though it were
fun, and enjoy it better than an
afternoon at Coney Island.
q ROWN'S idea Of a little recrea-
ton is to take a Ave mile run,
punch the bag a while, hook up
with a couple Of husky sparring
partners ana 20 10 Deu. II ne can
find three sparring partners, so
much the better. 1t improves his
appetite-not that it needs It.
Browns gluttonous desire to stow
away work has been one of the
causes of success, He is never out
of condition. In fact, his only dan
ger is from over training.
The same condition is true of the
other scrappers in the Morgan sta
ble-Savage and Britton. They all
train on fun" according to Dan
Morgan. And this is the opinion
of all who have watched the three
in their training quarters or, in
fact, any place else where they
were together for any length of
time.
This opinion, too, is shared by
Dan Morgan, though the boys
themselves vary in their points of
view on the matter.

ed to 1858 at the end of the season.
That's no very bad mark, but If he
hit that against Southern league
pitchers, what will he do against
the foxier and more efficient per-
formers of the National league?
Mark this: If Jacobson can learn
to hit curved ball he will make a
great major league outflelder. He
Is young. He can't be over %, and
perhaps is less. He may get the
knack, though the ability to hit a
curved ball seldom comes other
wise than naturally.
Jacobson is good fielder. He
doesn't look it, because he is big
and gangly. But in an elephan-
tine sort of way he covers a lot of
ground
One thing that will work against
Jacobson with the Giants is that
he is not good man on the bases
He stole only 16 bases last year.
And you know what a bug McGraw
is about speed. An outfieder who
can't steal 80 bases doesn't look like
much outflelder to him.
Our private bunch Is that Jacob
son will hardly last through the
training season with the Giants
Then McGraw win turn him back,
perhaps to Mobile, perhaps to some
International league club, where he
will be good man. Then, if in
l.. a.
run bases and to swing efficiently
at a curved ball, he may make a
real Giant. Anyhow. he has the size
to play the role.

or course Clark Griffith needs an
outflelder. He has to have one If
he is to be up in the race this year.
Welchonce led the Southern league
regulars in batting last year He
swatted 1926, stole 16 bases. and
flelded marvelously well.
His record is fine. He is grace
full fielder, fast, and an efficient
batter. He shows all the marks of
a big league outfelder Yet the
bunch persists that Atlanta will get
him.
The Phillies tried Welchouce and
found him wanting. why. l don't
pretend to say.
1t has always appeared, from the
rather casual view that can be
gained from the press box, that
somehow Welchonce hasn't the dis
position to make him great major
league player. He doesn't seem to
go at the work right.
Maybe this is all wrong. Maybe
he will go to Washington and
stick Yet We don't look for it.
