WOLCOTT ENTERED
ring At AGE OF Il
Began Early and Did Power
full Good Work in Ring
Until Last.

New York, Aug. 29.-Little Joe VOL
colt claims to have fought a longer
ring career than any other living box
er and probably he's right. He re-
fuses to tell his age usually. But his
tongue was loosened recently when
he met an old acquaintance.
"Why, l began to fight way back
in 1887, when | was SIXTEEN he
boosted. "And | had fight last week
even if the boxing commission does
not know about it."
So Joe has fought twenty-seven
years. His possible rival is Kid Nc
Coy, who is matched to meet Charley
Miller in California. The Kid began
his ring career twenty years ago. Jack
Twin Sullivan began bowling them
over seventeen years ago.
Wolcott is far past his prime. AT
his best he made only 1873 pounds and
stood five feet two. But he knocked
out several great heavyweights-Joe
Choynski in seven rounds. Dan Cree
don in enc round. Wild Bill Hanra-
han in twelve rounds. He drew with
Sam Langford in fifteen rounds and
won from George Gardner in twenty.
There were many heavyweights who
refused to accept his challenges
among them Sharkey, Rubin, Fitzsim-
mons and Corbett.
But WolcCtt was twice beaten by
Kid Lavigne, who was no heavier
than he.

Steals Rinu From Baby.

The meanest man in the world
broke into Herman ]. Boecklins' house,
in Kent, Westchester, county, N. Y.
He stole two watches, diamond ring,
silverware, bric-a-brac, and $1S which
he found under mattress. He also
took the family revolver But
to show what he was capable of he
proceeded as follows: He took piece
of soap and creased fourteen-month-
old Helen Boecklins' finger, slipping
off her little gold ring. He cut gold
chain and locket from her neck He
smashed her toy bank and took $4.63.
Lest Helen should cry, he took her
cut of her crib while he stole her
jewelry. Then he went away, leaving
her on the floor. Her cries brought
neighbors, who discovered the bur.
glary.

RACE NECK AND NECK
(By MOnty.)

New York, Aug. 29.-There may bt
a prophet here and there who thinks
he can predict the ultimate winner O
that break-neck race in the Natlona
league, but if he happens to name the
correct team he can be branded az
nothing more thman good gusser
There is not a single way under the
sun that a man can forecast the vic
tor with any reasonable degree OF
certainty, even in his own mind, thai
he is right. Any one OF the foul
clubs punched up in front has such
a good chance to win that it can not
be counted out of the fight until the
last week Of the season. With the
things as close a. it is, some one lit
tie event during the final five .,
six days-possibly the injury of some
star player-may decide, the argu.
ment.
One striking feature of this battle
royal is that each one of the foA1
clubs involved has different style OF
playing, or rather a different kind o.
a punch. The strong point of the
Boston Braves is sensational de-
Tense, wit habout as much RESPONSE
bility on the fielders as on the pitch
ers. The Braves are leading their
league in fielding but rank only fair
in other departments of play. The
Cardinals are running wild on the
bases. Hoggins instructing his men
to go out for teals whenever an OPP
portunity arises. The cubs are play
ing mainly on heavy hitting. The
Giants strength lies principally in
balance, fair work in every depart
ment when the team is On it's game.
The old horse laugh otherwise
known as the merry ha,ha, is rampant
in st. Louis just now. Chief Wilson,
Jcak Miller, Cozy Dolan, Art Butler
and Lefty Robinson are the ones en-
joying the hoarse guffaw. When they
were traded last winter by the
Pirates for Ed Konetchy, Bob Har-
mon and Mike Mowrey, Pittsburgers
laughed SO did the three players last
mentioned, for everybody figured that
Fred Clarke had put one over on Mil
Ter Higgins and that. the Pirate had
become through the trade sure pen
nant winner. Now the Pirates nave
practically no chance for even first
division berth anu Mowery, one of the
traded trio, has been released to the
minors. The five that whent to the
Cardinals, however turned that club
into a championship factor. which il
now is. Even if the team doesn't
win it's way into the worlds series,
giving the players a slice of that big
pie, the men will divide the receipts
of what ought to be corking City
series. The Browns and Cardinals
are the best two teams st. Louis has
owned in several years. and the st
Louis fans are pretty certain to pack
the parks, which would mean probab-
ly $1,000 for each player.

l.eprosy in London.

A skin disease specialist writes to
the London Standard: There are
known to De about hundred lepers in
London, but am afraid there are
many others who are unconscious suf-
fers. Only last January woman
came to me With what she described
as an acute stack of eczema She
was actually suffering from leprosy.
How many more cases are thus hidden
l cannot say-there must be others.
Whether or not leprosy is contagious
or infectious or neither is disputed. 1t
is generally understood that the dis
ease is spread by eating food that
leprous hands have touched. Leprosy,
of course, originates from eating fish,"

NEGROES LOSING
PLACE IN PUGDOM
Jack johnson Only One
Left, ana He's Losing Grip.
Cans Great Lightweight.
lRv Frank G. Menke. J

New York, Aug. pa few years
more and the negro race that had
occupied such an important position
in the pugilistic world would for
more than 80 years will have skid
ded off irto obscruty.
Just few years ago the negroes
almost ruled the heavyweight divls-
ion. Jack Johnson was champion
Sam Langford was runner-up and zoe
jeanette stood head and shoulders
over most of the white scrappers. But
Sans S.ar On the wane, Jeanette
ranks now as has-been and john
son alone holds his same place. But
added years and dissipation have hurt
johnson. Sooner or later he must
crumble, and when he does, he will
go down with a loud splash.
There are 40 classy negro light
weighters today. When the wonder
full Joe Cans passed on and down 1t
left his race without a representa-
tive in that division. There are no
real negro fighters in the middle
weight division and one i'll the
featherweght division.
The old discussion of who was the
greatest fighter in the lightweight
division has bodied up again. Out III
Chicago they think that Battling Mel
son deserves the vote. The oldtime
fighters hand the crown to Joe Cans.
The rank and file of fight fans feel
hat the title should be given to one
Or the other-that 40 other light
weight measures up to them. Cans
and Nelson were totally different i'll
their style of fighting. Cans was
enc of the most scientific men that
ever stepped into the ring. He de-
pended more on his wonderful brain,
his amazing speed, his marvellous de-
Tense and genera'lship than he did on
a punch.
Nelson, on the other hand, probab-
ly was the most ungraceful citizen
that ever held any kind Of a pugil-
istic title. But how he could hit.
And the punishment he could take.
Nelson time after time stood up
under rain of blows from his oppon-
eat that had enough force to knock
out ninety nine of 100 men.
Bat knew nothing about science. He
had no footwork, and his defense,
for the most part, was joke. But
he possessed the power to assimilate
a terrible amount Of punishment and
still save enough energy to Slip over
a finish punch.
