VIII Attract Attention.
White and Wolgast will attract a
lot of attention, as both are well known
throughout the country and it will
demonstrate whether the Chicago boy
has the class to get into the light
weight band wagon. It will be Just
the chance the Chicago lad needs to
show his class, and if he can defeat the
Michigan bear cat, there will be SPLEEN
old chances of bringing him on for a
boy who will profit by his fight with
Welsh at Winnipeg, for if he can whip
the British champion, he will get into
the limelight for big matches imme-
diately and his manager, Ray Bronson,
showed good judgment in picking out
man like Welsh to put him against.
Should SaylOr win from Welsh he may
take a trip abroad, as manager Bronson
has had an offer to take him to Aus
tralia-
Pal Brown, the Minnesota light

the critics. Pal was sent against the

Battling" Mantel is waiting for his
transportation to Phoenix. where he is
booked to meet frankie Gage during
fair week. Danny Mathews. who was
scheduled to meet the Los Angeles
lightweight, broke thumb and Man
tell readily agreed to the contest. In
FL PasO il is very probable that a lot
of betting on the fight, where the
sporting fraternity congregate. will
take place. Speculation is that Mantell
will be a favorite by the odds of 10 to
3, while 1t is said that many are willing
to wager even money that the Mexican
does not stay the Unite. Max Halford
IS still in Phoenix, but Gage preferrC
Mantell to the hard hitting sailor, ac-
eording to western reports.
One thing that hurts the game in
Juarez is the bandaging of the prin-
cipaPs hands The large amount of
tape, much above the averas e. that is
wrapped on the fighters hands before
entering the ring, is the subject of crit
tclsm by lot of fans. Referee Ed
Stewart said Friday night: IF the
PRINCIPALS agree. it is all right. but if
they do not. their opponent will have
to dispense with some of the tape"

that none of the clubs were able to
make money.
Baltimore and Buffalo have filed ap-
plicatiOn for entrance into the Federal
league. For this reason much interest
is being attached to the meeting of
the club owners in Indianapolis today.
It IS probable that the league will be
enlarged. To insure the paying of the
players salaries. each club owner is
expected to make deposit of $685. 900.
George Stovall received twice as
much salary for bossing a tail end club
as he did as pilot of a pennant con-
tender, according to st. Louis reports.
As player with the Cleveland Maps,
Stovall drew down $500, and was given
2 $500 raise when promoted to man
ager. He received $500 as manager Of

Because of his showing against Ernie

have staged fights on a losing basis

/ be truthfully said that he has always

tai quickness of his taleIt-bone is not
as plant or supple as muscle.
Marsans a Quick Thinker.
MarS2ns is not only fast on his feet,
but IS also a very quick thinker. He
is splendid fielder, good thrower and
a natural 300 hitter, and with a win
ming team he would flash brighter in
all departments.
Marsans wants to play with the
Giants and all Cuba wants to have
him,
The neighbors Of the little island to
the south are just as true lovers OF our
national game as we are ourselves In
fact. they deprecate that we lay claim
to the sport as distinctiVely belonging
to us, and they are fast proving to US
that we DO not have a monopoly OF 1t.
And neither do we want to be exclu-
sive. We want the game spread the
world over. We should be especially
generous, too, to Cuba and Cubans, for
they were the first foreigners q say
foreigners adyisedly, because both they
and we would prefer 'neighbOrs" as
being more friendly, and thereby more
appropriately to take up the game.
At the dinner given to John b Fos-
ter, secretary of the New York club, by
the baseball writers, Cuba was repre-
sented by three distinguished native
sons-ColoneI Jose d'Estrampes, Rafael
Conte aud Pope COnte. of Havana.
Game Benefit to Cuba.
Signor d'Estrampes is one of the
heads of the Havana police department
and the Conte brothers are prominent
newspaper men of the Cuban capital
They all spoke lovingly of baseball,
and expressed the hope that the sport
would take a much firmer foundation
in their native country than it already
has. although it now had firm foot
hold and never would be supplanted,
because Cuba and its people loved the
game, appreciated its beauties fully If
not more than Americans do, and know
that its further growth would be of
lasting benefit to the country
If the applause that greeted the
speech as at the dinner is any criterion
Cuba is already assured of an even
more prominent place on the baseball
map than it now enjoys.
And judging by the success already
attained by Cuba players, who have
been members of big league clubs, we
shall need them.
