accommodating judge found that the
employment of the Somers people
was illegal, 50 that this assessment
was not entered, but was fixed in

Waramaker considered il worth $1s :

hard work Tuesday afternoon and will
continue stiff training until two days
before the bout Gordon is in poor con-

Statements of both principals show
that neither fighter intends for the

Herrick is in the best possible shape,

Use for the future The Pueblo fireman
has been in a similar position to that
occupied by Joe Choynski, when the
latter was considered among the best
heavyweights in the coutry. Joe was
just a little shy of championship class
because Of his lack of weight and the
same might be said of Flynn. Jim has
been between the middleWeights and
heavies, meeting men much heavier
than himself, in most Of his battles, but
always putting up a stubborn contest.
He scaled around 100 to 165 and met
such men as Al kaufman, Jim Barry,
Jack Twin Sullivan, Tommy Burns,
George Gardner, Sam Langford, Tony
Ross and not forgetting Jack John
SON. 1t was only the past year or two
that he took on weight and scaled
around 100 when he met the negro,
but the extra weight did him no good,
for it made him more bulky than he
should have been for a contest of that

strenuous ring life and can now af-

Carl Morris, of Oklahoma, has placed
himself once more in the limelight of

wrestling and from all accounts he had

there may be a chance to get Carl and
Mike together for q 10 round session,
II is two years since Carl gave Mike
the high ball in Oklahoma in six

would be tickled to hand the compli-
ment back to Morris. However, Carl

a real champion and he may surprise
fans some of these days by showing
real class in the ring.

A number of sore lips are regretting
reading this statement In several ways
it might cause a laugh; and the most
important one Of these is the spectacle
OF Roger and Hedges trying to live
in the same city and fight on the same
side without fighting each other.
Well, cat and dog have been known
to feed from the same plate.
But the contingency is all arranged
for. According to an eminent local
American league authority, one who
hunts, fishes and exchanges pats-on-
the-back with Ban johnson and who is
therefore near-pOwer, declares that
president Hedges has never had anv
intention Of making Hickey manager,
but president of the club Hedges,
says this theOrist, intends stepping
down to take a long vacation and re-
store the good disposition that baseball
has put on the fritz.

der certain conditions, as the Duke of

Like the Famous Chance Deal
There is an objection: Roger be-
longs to a rival league and can't he
bought out of it until the other climbs
of the National waive on him That
such things are not impossible. how
ever, is shown by the Frank Chance
deal, in which an understanding vvss

major organizations.
That Roger will not be with the
club next year is largely dependent
on the success Of Evans for fbe re-
mainder of the year. If JOHNNY @poes
over" Roger will have to hunt new
home, for Murphy is not paying $40. 600
for a second-string catcher and bench
warmer. Nor will many clubs care to
assume such a contract. ONLY as
manager could Bresnahan be worth
such a sum.

in Australia. Despite the fact that
Jerry is A years of age and has under
gone many hardships he is still able
to put up a great battle and stand the
pace over the marathon route. Last
month the Aboriginal fought a heavy
weight named Bill Sonter, who has had
some pretty good scraps with various
Australian and American fighters, and
at the end of Is rounds SOnter was
taking the ten count 1t was q ter
rifle battle all the way, Sonter setting
a fast pace, expecting that the Aborig-
inaI could not keep it up, but he did
and when Bill was tired himself the
native came back and handed out a
couple Of straight punches to the head
that put Bill down and out.
Jimmy Clabby defeated Jerome In
1910 whe he was in Australia, stop
ping him in short order, but the
Aboriginal came back afterwards and
began fighting better than ever in his
career. Besides being a good boxer,
Jerome is an all around athlete and
can run 100 yards around the 10 sec
ond mark. He is also a great jumper
and a wonderful rider and boomerang
thrOwer. It is only recently that Jerry
fought Dave Smith for the champion
ship OF Australia and lost.
Johnny Dundee. the New York fight
er with the Scotch name and Scotch
manager, made his entry into the light
weight ranks at Los Angeles in a very
suspicious manner, putting his Oppon-
ent, Jack White, to sleep in nine
rounds. Dundee fought Johnny Kin
bane not a great while ago for the
featherweight title, losing a 20 round
decision after putting up a splendid
contest He found that he could not
make the featherweight limit and re-
tain his strength. so he decided to ad-
vance a notch and enter the light
weight division. Jack White has been
a very clever featherweight in the past,
but he, too. became too heavy for the
class and decided to enter the next
division
Dundee never gave the Chicago
fighter a loolkin, rushing the fight
from the start and having all the best
of it. Johnny scored several knock
downs and in the ninth he put over
straight right to the jaw that made
Jack dream Of other things besides
boxing. With this start Dundee will
no doubt seek a match now with Joe
Rivers or some Of the bright lights in
the 1913 pound class.
White stated before the contest th&t |
II he lost he would quit the ring for |
ever, but it is a good bet that Jack |
will be back in the arena within an
other four months.

DDS ought to put the punch in the out
fit.
There Is this advantage in having
Bresnahan: He's a tried and proved
quantity. where anything else on the
horizon is a mere experiment
And as for Roger, he'd sell his con-
tract for half to get a chance to make
good again in the city which cast him
off.
