he also added more honors by also
defeating Charley Brickley, of Har-
ward football fame. Maxfield is a
powerful fellow, and it is believed he
will some day be the champion with
all the weights. He is studious and
ambitious, and he has in his brother,
Theodore Maxfield, shrewd adviser.
O.
Rupe Mills, who plays football we'll
and baseball better, and who has
been doing his best in both sports
during the last season for Notre
Dame, left today for South Bend,
Ind, to take up his studies for an
other year. Mills is considerable most
promising first baseman, and more
than one big league scout has been
after him.
Because Ban johnson favors a
baseball war with the Federal
League some of the scribes are inti-
mating that Johnson and his Ameri-
can League have an understanding
with the OUTLAWS" That is idle gos-
sip, of course, and Johnson's desire
for war is simply to have it out with
the Federal Leaguers in order to give
them a good beating. Yes, good
war in baseball wonld be a good
thing. 1t might cost considerable
money, but it would be worth the
while, as it would settle for many,
many moons the unsettled conditions
which exist at the present in the
great national game.

The very same thing may be said
about cycling, only more so. There
are several disgruntled riders and a
few newspaper men doing their best
to create dissension, and the sooner
the matter comes to a head the bet
ter. 1t would be the delight of these
persons to lure John M. Chapman
into the OUTLAW" game, but from
what Chapman said to me they will
have their trouble for their pains.

| The bout between Battling Levin
sky and Bob McAllister, billed for
Madison Square Garden tonight, is
being boosted as one of the best
matches that could possibly be made
from a spectators standpoint. OF
Levinsky we know a whole lot-he
has done wonderful work in the ring,
even allowing that he has met some
plants" He is a little fellow for
a Hope" but he has been able so
far to more than hold his own. 1t
is said that he resembles Joe Choyn-
ski, the old warhorse of the prize
ring. He does, in way, but if he had
the punch and the generalship of a
Choynsk he would be the best white
man in the world today. Levinsky
he appears to be good enough to
trounce quite number of the heavy
weights in the limelight at the pres
ent time. OF McAllister we know
little only what we have read. He
comes from the coast, but his fights
in the East have been we'll done. He
too, is a small fellow and it is sai6
he can make the middleweight limit
He is said to be exceptionally clever
but lacks the punch. In Levinsky he
will meet a man of similar Capable
ties and therefore the contest SHOULD
produce some real interest.

The success of Levinsky means ;
boost for Charley Weinert, the Jerse,
boy, who beat the Battler in ten
Hround bout at Browns Gym a few
weeks ago. Clever as Levinsky is
Weinert outboxed and outfought hin
nearly all the way. Charley poppe
the Batter on the nose with left jab
and he avoided Levinsky's leads an
his rushes in such a manner as t
make the Battler look foolish tim
and again. And Weinert, let it b
remarked and remembered, will be tn
biggest stumbling block that Levin
sky is likely to have in his efforts t
reach the top of the pugilistic ladder
The Jersey boy is the cleverest fel
low in the ring today and he is sur
to make his mark If he tends strictl
to business. Under the management
of Percy Woodruff he will be we
cared for, and is not likely to b
overmatched as to weight. Levinsk

to make up a bout between Weiner
and Jim Savage, who weighs abou
thirty pounds more than the Kid. A
