What at one time looked like a

the players seems to have lost some
of its grip. This is evident from

war, and the players would eventu-

| Organized baseball is too strong to
be beaten and the players would only
be beating themselves in beating their
own game. 1t would be another one
of those cases-if you win you lose.

Those who witnessed the Jess Will
lard-Carl Morris scrap at the Garden
last week will easily recall the
gTuelling semi-final. in which Walter
Mohr and Harry Condor battled for
OSAA ACoho2. AioL WeD oOiilO lEAilt So
the boys say. and they duplicated
that performance at the opening of
Tom O'Rourke's National Sporting
Club last night As in the bout at
the Garden, Mohr, by his persistent
attacks, carried the day. but the fight
was one of the best ever seen in New
York Both boys hail from Brooklyn.
the home of Joe Fogler, cyclist, and
other famous men, and it took Billy
Gibson. the Garden A. c. manager,
four months to get them together.
The contest was well worth the eff
fort, Tor two more willing boys were
never opposed to each other in the
same ring. BY the way, O'Rourke
had a pretty nice opening, and with
Tom back in the fold we are sure to
see some excellent milling at. the Ma

Jack Dougherty. the old-time fight
manager, has Al Mccoy on his staff
and he wants to match his man
against Charley Weinert Mccoy Is
middleweight, according to Dough-
erty and he would insist on Weinert
making 1853 pounds. Maybe We.aert
can do 1853 pounds and maybe he
can't, but anyway Percy Woodruff.
his manager, says he isn't doing
weight just now for anybody. Since
Weinerts victory over Battling Lev
inslky. the kids services have been in
great demand, and from the out
look, Manager Woodruff will be able
to make his own terms. From Phila-
delphia and other cities, where box
ing Is the vogue, Manager Woodruff
is receiving offers for Weinert. but
Percy saye he isn't going to start
his man again until he puts on more
weight. If Mccoy wants match he
can have 1t, Woodruff says, but Wei
merit will have to get his price and
Dougherty will have to guarantee the
purse.

day grind. What about ours for the
benefit of the correspondents and
readers of Sport Topics? AS we have
been following the cycling game for
years and we know the ability OF al
most all the riders, we say: In the
six-day grind the following teams will
be ready for the final sprint: Goullet-
Fogler, first; Grenda- Moran, second;
Clark-Hehir. third Verri-Brocco,
fourth; Root Mcnamara, fifth. The
Verri-Brocco team will be the sensa-

study of the ability of each rider and
team Anyhow, whatever may be the
results we take pleasure in extending
