The Newark club has secured thre
more players from the Brooklyn club
The news comes by way of Charles
the South with the Superbas Th'
news should have come from Charles
II. Eebbets, jr., who make his hom'
in Brooklyn. However, the fact tina
Newark has obtained a catcher il
some consolation. The new back
stops name Is Hechinger, and will
him will come Rolmquist, a pitcher
and Move. a shortstop. BIZ Col
Inns, as you all know, will play frs
base, and from all accounts the team
is going TO be as good as 1t was las
year, although, Of course, the Tigers
may not win another pennant.

Governor Tener denies that he ever
said there was room in baseball for
the Federal League. But the sup
posed interview with the governor
has gone the rounds, and its purpose
has likely been served. Really the
Feds are putting 1t over on the
regulars" so hard and so often lately
that the first thing we know organi-
cation baseball will be asking the
OUTLAWS" for permission to play the
great national game.

Elmer Collins and Jackie Clark are
going to become actors for a week at
least. These famous knights Of the
wheel have booked n home-trainer
act for Miners Empire Theater, be-
ginning next Monday and continuing
throughout the six DAYS. Tho boys
will ride brand-new home-trainers,
and the setting is said TO be the finest

an act. The rollers are driven by
chains. which prevents lost motion

Percy Woodruff has retired az the
manager of Charley Weinert, and he
will hereafter give fighters a wide
berth. In turning Weinert loose,
Woodruff says ne did so because the
Kid wouldn't do as he was told. Percy
was a stickler for early hours to bed
and hard training, but Weinert wac
rather careless in those respects. The
men quit as good friends. and Weinert
was loath to give up his old manager.
Woodruff, however, wouldn't have
more TO do with the fighter
and said to me over the telephone:
II am donem Weinert was in my Of
ice at the time and when told OF
Woodruff's ultimatum, declared:
"Then he must be through with me"
That's the way 1t is, and perhaps IL is
all for the best. Weinert is a kid and
frivolous In his ways and his success
has given him an air or importance,
He says he thinks the world of Wood
ruff and Is free to confess that he
owes his present position in pugilistic
society TO no one else but Percy. OF
course 1t would be a difficult matter
to take the credit away from Wood
ruff but some fighters will do almost
anything. In this case, though,
Weinert is very free with his kind
words for his old boss. and says he
win always remember how he got his
start.
G
Woodruff showed that he is a big
fellow by quitting Weinert. He has
made the boy what he is and his
future is very bright He may be the
champion some day and his prospects
are about as good as the next one.
He may be beaten the very next time
he fights, too, W hich would be nothing
startling Woodruff wasn't in the
game for what there was in It. He
never took a cent from Weinert and
spent his own hard money in taking
the boy around and introducing him
into puglistic society. He couldn't
get along with Weinert, though. for
both men have minds of their own.
Besides, there are always trouble
makers around. In this case, friends
of Woodruff were continually filling
Percy's ear with the failings of the
Kid and friends Of Weinert were ever
telling him how badly Woodruff was
treating him. Now 1t is all over.
Woodruff WI be able TO attend more
strictly to business and Weinert Will
have TO obey the orders of his new
boss.
C
When Weinert finally discovered
that he was without q manager he
didn't know just what to do. He
