SPORTING NOTES
National News Association


JOPLIN, Mo, Aug. 8.-An injury re-
ceived by Tommy Dixon of Kansas
City during a fight here last night
with Freddie Cole of indianapolis,
scheduled for IS rounds, caused the
termination in the seventh round.
Dixon fell through the ropes to the
floor, injuring his arm.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. S.-One of
the Giants was asked before the New
York team left Pittsburg for Gin
cinnati, why McGraw did not take
Mathewson out of the box in the fifth
inning Wednesday, when seven runs
were batted off his delivery.
q think Mac wanted to impress
something on Christy," said the Giant.
"McGraw has been arguing all along
against his pitchers playing golf. He
does not object to the sport for out
fielders or infielders, but he claims it
does the pitchers no good and he has
tried to make Matty cut it out. Nc
Graw claims that handling a golf stick
tires the muscles in a pitchers hands
and wrists"
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. S-Because
Manager Hinchman fined and chased
him off the field here, after Umpire
Cahill had lifted him from the game,
king Cole today asserted that he
was done with pitching for the Col
umbus team. He says he's going to
an unnamed Federal League club.
PARIS, Aug. SACK Johnson will
not be permitted to box in this coun-
try. The American boxing fedora
ton" has requested the French fed
Grafton to prohibit Johnson, the Am
erican negro pugilist, from fighting in
France and that body has decided to
grant the request.

Happy" Felch, centerfielder of the
Fond du Lac, Observation-Disclosures league
team, was traded to the Milwaukee
American Association club for a cash
consideration and Doc" Watson, the
southpaw pitcher. Felch will join the
Milwaukee club at Toledo tomorrow.
CHICAGO. Aug. S.-Charley White,
who meets Frank Whitney in the ring
at Atlanta, Ga. next Thursday night,
is aiming to make it a knockout finish
and with that object in view is per-
fecting his punch. Instead of work
ing for speed and cleverness he is
tackling the big fellows and whaling
away with damaging intent. Willie
Schaeffer and Billy Walters are his
sparring partners and he gives them a
merry game. There is a slight hitch
in the match but Manager Lewis says
it can be adjusted. Whitney wants
to weigh 13a pounds at 800 o'clock in
the afternoon and White says nothing
better than six O'Clock Since he
scales only 129 pounds when in action
he does not feel that he should give
more than ten pounds away.

These have never been surpassed, and

some of school. and was for years
