BY G. w. AVELSON.
I'm Chica gO Herald)-


Harrisburgh, Pa, on board the
| Broadway Limited, Nov. At is a
| hazardous thing to travel with box
| ing champion when that same world s
best fighter is a vegetarian. If you
don't want to be CRASHED you are
liable to starve to death, and if you
should be caught with juicy steak
in front of you lecture is coming
! from that self-same champ on the
evils of meat.
That is what we have endured with
Freddie Welsh, who is travelling west
at high speed with the intention of
taking the conceit out of Charlie White
| if the Chicago boy is carrying anything
of the kind around with him.
Peeved at the Critics.
This vegetarian thing is uppermost
in the mind of the pontyprid boy after
his fight with AID Wolgast last night.
He is just a little peeved at some Of
the New York boxing critics who
broadly intimated after the battle that
some of Ads wallops to the stomach
slowed the Welshman up, as, being
CRASHED, he was not in condition to
stand the blows as we'll as if he had
dallied with the festive roast little.
Now that is what they are always
harping on" remarked Welsh as he
was sitting in the observation car
watching Pennsylvania real estate slip
by. Il don't know where they get that
kind of stuff, as l have always prided
myself on the fact that ] can stand
more punishment in the stomach than
any other place.
81 admit that l am a crank on veg
etarianism and on physical culture,
especially, and those two things have
made me what am. AS to that bout
last night-well, probably l did hold
back little, but don't think for min
ute l was stalling. / wanted to give
the New York fans a run for their
money, and l think l did.
Expected Tough Battle.
"I figured on Wolgast being tough
customer, but as for the statement that
his blows hurt and there were some
good ones at that will have to differ.
Several times he ripped in some let's
and rights that might have worried me
a little had / not been in perfect physi-
cal condition
Having successfully tented for an
opening via the green goods patter, the
afterwiever shifted the attack to the
more delicate subject of whether the
champion really has punch or not.

Gloom pervaded in the Independent
football squad as they assembled for

his list Of eligibles, Coach Lift finds
that four stars of the state champ elev-

Robb and Davenport, halfbacks; Nc
Ginnis, end. and MacManus, quarter
back. Ernie MacManus will probably
be lost to the Independents for the re-
mainder OF the season.
Ernie. who has developed into one of
the best open field runners Rock Island
has ever produced. broke a blood yes
sci in his left leg while playing against
Aurora Sunday. The physicians nc
ed the wound yesterday afternoon, and
although he is recovering nicely. the
doctors state that he may not be able
10 play again this season. His loss to
the state champs cannot be overesti-
mated. MacManus has proven to be
the best ground gamer OF the Island
er;s back field. he always displayed
good judgment in running the team
and he cannot be replaced

of the great Athletic trio slated fol
release, was for years the acknowledg-
ed star of the Athletics pitching staff
He was the man upon whom Mack re-
lied in the pinches. 1t was he who
was called upon to bear the brunt OF
the worlds series and until 1914 he
never once failed. In 1905 he won the
only game which the Athletics won
from the old Giant team. Bender, pop
ulariy known as Chief, is a Chippewa
Indian. He was born in Brainerd,
Mimi, May 3, 1888. When is years
old he began to play first base for the
Carlisle Indian team, and in 1908 was
pitching for Dickinson college. He
was signed by the Athletics that year
and has been with the team ever since
Despite his long baseball career, he is
only 81 years old.
John w. Coombs might still be
among the great pitchers in the major
leagues had his strength not been I'M
dermined by violent attack of typhoid
several years ago. He first attracted
attention as pitcher for Colby col
lege, and was secured by the Athletics
in 1906. after four years with the col
lege team. He Immediately became a
star, and he was in the pitching box
for the Athletics in their famous "a
inning game that year with Boston,
the longest game on record in the
major leagues. He didn't live up to
his early promise, however, and for
one whole year Mack tried to make
him into an outfielder In 1910 he
came back as a pitcher, and he,
Plank and Bender made a wonderful
combination for the Athletics, which
enabled them to win the American
league pennant and the worlds cham
pionship. He continued to do excellent
work until his illness, but he has never
done very well since then.
Bender and Plank were still doing
steady work this year, and Plank did
well in the worlds series. Bender's
fate, when he was knocked out of the
box in the first game of the worlds
series. probably decided Mack to let
the old timers go. Their records this
year were as follows:

And | saw another angel ascending
from the east, having the seal of the
living God: and he cried with loud
voice to the four angels, to whom it
was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Saying Hurt not the earth, neither
the sea, nor the trees, till we have
sealed the servants of our God in their
foreheads.
And l heard the number of them
which were sealed: and there were
sealed an hundred and forty and four
thousand of all the tribes of the chill
dren of Israel.
After this / beheld and, 10, a great
multitude, which no man could num-
Der, of all nations, and kindreds, and
people, and tongues, stood before the
throne, and before the Lamb, clothed
with white robes, and palms in their
hands;
And cried with a loud voice, saying,
Salvation to our God which stitch
upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
And all the angels stood round about
the throne, and about the elders and
the four beasts, and fell before the
throne on their faces, and worshipped
God,
Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory,
and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and
honour, and power, and might, be unto
our God for ever and ever Amen.
