pion in action with a dub, for
they know that such a contest is
not worth while. When they pay
their good money they expect
action, and nobody can blame
them for this either.
A COUPLE of good matches
u would do a lot toward re-
viving the game right now.
Just imagine how Richie
and Murphy or Clabby and Nc
Goorty or Smith and Miller would
go during the carnival. Why,
they would sbe breaking their
necks for an opportunity of see-
Ing them in action. But they are
all many thousands Of miles
away, simply because there is no
attraction here for them.

which would almost go down on
my knees to get now. The an

HOFFROTHS views are shared
by all those who take an in
terest in the sport of the
gloves. They realize full well
that the class is lacking here,
and that something must be done
to boost 1t along. There are
many good boys hanging about,
but there is nobody to teach them
the real art of boxing and then
shoot them to the front.

IT'S too bad that another Alex
Greggains doesn't appear in the
scene and start another school
like that historic one down in
Sixth street, which used to -four
fsh 10 years ago. He was the
boy who made 'em fight and also
made 'em appreciate the value of
small purse when they started
of. With another Gregsains we
might have more Britts. Hanlons,
Attells, Neils and Thomases to-
day.
n TEvE DOUGLAS Is one man
who believes that the fight
ing game down in Los An
Reles Is in for q big boom. The
sporting fiddler Is back from the
land OF the sunny south for the
Portola celebration and he
brings the good news that the
prejudice against the sport has
entirely died aawy and that Tom
McCarey will be right in line
with a flock OF good matches in
the near future.

the game than they ever were,
and IL they get the right sort OF

a thud. We are all looking for

COLLINS IS BEST, SAYS WITT
COBB A GRANDSTANDs PLAYER

greater than Collins in many re-
spects, do not think he is as
valuable to club as Collins. He
is from finanicial standpoint, an
the Georgian is undoubtedly the
greatest box office attraction In
the game today. His spectacular
style OF play is popular with the
fans, and while the Tigers were
rather iowly In the pennant race,
they were good drawing cards.
because the crowds would 70 out
to see Cobb bat and steal bases.
II Cobb would play the game
like Collins I think he would be
the greatest OF them all. but he
does not. Cobb is essentially an
individual player. He Is unlike
Collins in this respect. However,
the fans like to see Cobb, and
they must be pleased.
DOESN'T OVERLOOK COBB
There is no player In the game
who takes advantage of the other
fellows mistakes like Cobb. He
forces the opposing player to ac-
ton all the time, and he has an
eye like an eagle for detecting
mistakes. Any time Cobb laces a
single to the outfield or infield
there Is sure to be play at first
bases for him. He rounds that
initial corner and Is ready to go
to second on the slightest slip Of
an opposing fielder. He takes
such daring lead that. the play
ers are always taking a chance at
getting him at first.
Cobb will try to seal base no
matter whether his club is i've
runs behind. This Collins will
not do. 1t Is not the kind of ball
playing that will win games.
Cobb catches the eye quicker than
Collins, but think the latter gets
better results for his club
jackson Is q great hitter, but
Il not Is good as Collins or Cobb
In other respects. AS have not
seen many Of the National league
stars In action, i am not In a
position to judge them. I have
reviewed Wagner's record, and he
must have been great ball
player. Any man who can go
along and bat at 800 clip for
II successive years must be
marvel.
