which takes place in New York Friday
night.
Bob Fitzsimmons wife has Joined the
divorce colony at Reno. Boxers have
tough luck in this respect.
Statistics recently compiled by the
American Medical association show that
boxers outlive college athletes by many
years.
The reason given is that college ath-
etes are kept in constant training, which
IS a terrible strain on the nerves and also
weakens the heart, whereas boxers are
allowed to rest up after every hard con
test

Flynn will leave for Calgary next week,
Boer Unholz has record that has
them all topped. In a recent tour Of
Australia he beat lightweights, welter-
weights. middleweights and heavyweights.
Willie Richie looks the least like a
champion pugilist of any man who has
ever held the crown. This only applies
to his appearance in street clothes, how
ever, for when Willie crawls into ring
he looks like the real article.

Osborn is so promising that the

BY Percy H. Whiting.

TINE Atlanta club will have the
fastest infield this season that
ever played at Ponce DeLeOn.
This sounds like an idle vaporing,
of course. But hammer a nail in
# right at this point: If nobody
breaks a leg or springs a splint
or bone SPAWN the Crackers will
show more infeld speed than any
Southern league club in the MEM
DRY Of mortal fan.
Don't take my word for task
any Of the two or three hundred
fans who turned out yesterday aft
arnoon for the practice.
When Bill Smith trOtted out his
regular infield, he handed them the
e-honored adjuration, "A little
pep. now, boys. Let's show 'em
something"
Wen. they did.
They let out a whOop that would
have sent the early settlers run
ming for the block house, and they
hit ND a speed through the soggy
mud that was dazzling. They stop
ped the hottest efforts of the pep
perry bat Of Bill Smith, they threw
the ball around with mid-July
speed and accuracy. and thew kept
M a running fire of yells and
vhoops that would have made even
a funeral sound lively.
THE new man in the infield was
Leonard Dobard. He has turned
up in corking condition. after
winter of play IN New Orleans, and
seems set to win a regular posi-
ton. He must account, however,
for Walter Heating, as clever
fielder and as neat thrower as
ever the league saw, The compett-
tiou for that shortstop position is
going to be the real fireworks this
spring.
Wally Smith continues to play
like q regular at third, and looks
more like a million dollars with
every day that passes. He gets be
mind a ball beautifully, has fine, big,
useful hands, and can get the ball
away fast after he lands it.
OF course, Agler and Alperman
are as good as the best. Agler is
