BY GEORGE e. PHAlR :

Ind, said he was a prize fighter. The
Chief of Police of Gary, Ind, is a
great little flatterer.
Charlie White has a perfect right
to claim the championship of the
world at 1873 pounds at o'clock, but
who is the champion of the world at
1873 pounds at 6:15?
We don't know much about base
ball, but if Bob Hedges sells the
Browns he may get pihched for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
George Chip is said TO have in
vented the DELAYED punch. but it re-
NAMED for Willie Richie to invent
the delayed fight.
Jack Johnson says he has aban-
doneu the wrestling game and re-
turned to fighting. This shows there
is certain amount of good in every
man.
Some time this winter a baseball
player will bust into the first pace
by announcing that he has not been
approached by the Federal League.
Far be il from us TO knock gentle
men who are pursuing perfectly
honest calling, but if we owned the
Federal League we'd buy a couple OF
baseball parks.

was there when Weeghman made his

HERE is what happened When
L Weeghman and William Walker

He was of the opinion that he was

ton had agreed to get at least fve
major league players for his team

Its variety and the constant change OF

In all the episodes Miss Roland and
