In much demand. So when Dundee
expressed a willingness to meet the
former champion, there was a hurry
up effort to cllnch the match.

From all appearances and from all
accounts, Wolgast, the once great
Wildcat" is practically all In"
He refuses to train, it is said, and
he is getting SO big that he doesn't
want to make weight any more. In
fact, he just won't do any scaling,
and those who want to meet him
must let him come in the ring at
catch weights or else there will be
no fight Although Dundee is a legit-
innate featherweight, Wolgast has put
the catch weight proposition up to
him Such a match would not be
at all equal in the other days Of
wolgast's career, but now, perhaps,
even his great advantage in avoir-
dupos wouldn't be sufficient to bring
him home a winner.

AS far as Dundee is concerned,
o-weight match would not be fair
to him. Only few weeks ago he
made 192 pounds for Kilbane, and
now Wolgast would ask him to take
on an overgrown lightweight. Just
for the sake of the almost assured
big gate, Dundee, perhaps, will ac-
cept the offer, but Wolgast should be
willing, if he is at all fair, to make
the regular lightweight limit of 1873
pounds ringside. But he won't, of
course He is rather arrogant, and
in the habit of having his own way
and he will go on in that manner
most likely until he is through with
the game, which, from this distance.
threatens to be soon--yery soon.

| A and are tied at pool. How is
the winner decided? How is the
third mans score counted? r. V.
The tie may be decided in any way
the players choose. The third man
remains third, whatever the result of
the toss or play-off or A and B, If
they wish, can pool first and second
moneys and divide it equally between
them.

men you have omitted N. A. Zeiger,

the distance in ten seconds and hence
should be included in the list pub

G. E. ROGERS. Stevens 10
When you've been following sports
few more years you'll realize that
ten-second performances are not
dashed off carelessly any time an
athlete feels like it. Also that it is
a far cry from being clocked at 10
seconds at the Stevens interclass meet
or at one of the college dual meets
and doing 10 seconds when expert
enced timers are holding the watches.
We've seen high school boys. who
| couldn't do twelve seconds in an au-
tomobile, lope down the lanes with
| the speed and grace of a fat duck and
then have the teacher in English,
who was doing the timing with his
! dollar chronometer, announce the
time of the race as 'ten-one' or
'tten-two" II you can show us where
your beloved schoolmate ever made
| ten seconds, timed by A A. L. Off
Gals, and without a forty-knot gale
at his back, We'll be glad to put him
on our list.

Let me know if an 1857 cent, with
an eagle on 1t, is worth anything.
JOHN NJ.
Sorry, John, but you lose out by
one year Had you a cent of the
kind you describe dated 1856, you
could cash 1t for between $3.50 and
81 However, don't get discouraged;
you can get from three to ten cents
for your coin.

Kindly let me know if the Palisades
/ Park has opened yet; if not when
will 1t? Also answer this baseball
| query: II a second baseman allows
a batter to reach first through an
error but Immediately after assists
in a double play, putting the runner
out. IL he tthe fielder charged with
an error? Also II catcher, on ac-
count of a bad throw. fails to get a
man stealing second, is he charged
with an error? Thanking you for past
information, G. j. II.
Palisades Park opens the Saturday
before Decoration Day. If the bats
man reaches first on the second base
mans error, the fielder must be
charged with an error. Official scorers
in big league circles, and little ones,
too, are generally lenient and give
the base-runner the benefit of the
doubt, crediting the runner with a
stolen base. Unless, of course, the
runner takes an extra base, in which
event the base-runner gets credit for
stealing second base and the catcher
is charged with an error for allowing
the runner to reach third base. Yer
