HANS WAGNER sELECTIN G HIS FAvORITE BAT.
BONDS MIGHTTA
ON ART PELKEY

Both Joe German and his pro-
tege, Joe Bonds, are still unable
to state whether or not the young
heavyweight's match with Tom
Cowler will go through. When
the big Englishman signed with
Arthur Pelkey, it was thought
that the Canadian promoters had
decided not to use Bonds because
of the forfeit money his manager
insisted should be put up, but no
word has yet been received that
the match is off, and 1t may be
that Cowler intends to meet both
Bonds and Pelkey.
If Joe's match with Cowler
goes through, and he should
make a good showing, he will be
in line for a whirl at Arthur Pei
key. OF course this does not
mean as much as 1t did several
days ago, Kid Kenneth having
stored away Tommy Burns man.
AS far as that goes, Pelkey is
about 40 pounds heavier than
Bonds, and Cowler Is even bigger.
The Englishman is said to be a
regular moose, and he has a good
record. He claims to have boxed
a six-round draw with Pelkey
some months ago, and declares
he has whipped Ivan Hague, the
crack English heavy, and Boer

Rodel, one of our promising white
hopes. He once fought Bombar-
der Wells 20 rounds, losing the
decision, and is reputed possessor
of terrific wallop.
Bonds is perfectly willing to
tackle him, however, or his OPP
ponent, Arthur Pelkey.
They may be little heavire,"
says Joe, but the bigger they
are the harder 1t is to get around,
and l think l can make a good
showing against either of them"
Joe German denied the report
this morning that negotiations
between Bonds and Cowler were
not entered into. He says re-
peated efforts has been made by
certain interested parties to
knock the match.

NUMBER
: Of PLAYERS
To TRY OUT

Nearly 200 ball players will en-
deavor to land places on North
western league teams this spring,
and out of this number about 80
will secure regular jobs. Taco
ma leads in the number of ball
players signed, having 81 in the
published roster. One of these,
however, Curley Coen, is no long
er with the team, so the number
may be reduced OF 80.

WILL HONUS GO. ON FOREVER?

Will Hans Wagner last for
ever?
1t would seem so. The veteran
of the Pirates goes on year after
year. getting them all and hitting
the horsehide where the fielders
"aint."
According to present indica-
tions, the Flying Dutchman will
be back at his old position next
season, prepared to once more
WELD the club for an average of
800 and terrorize the pitchers as
of old.
Many fans wonder how the
awkward Teuton has managed to
last so long. The secret lies in
the good care Honus has taken
OF himself. He has always been
a clean-liver, and this fact has
counted heavily. He has saved
money, too, and Is one of the
wealthiest men in the game.

District Court Adjourned,

Following the custom of many
years Judge B. H. Pavy, of the
18th Judicial District Court
pounded on the gavel last week
and ordered the court adjourned
until September 18th.
There is no doubt that the
affable district Judge, on account
of his size, welcomed the advent
of the middle of July, SO that he
could adjourn court for three
months, as this hot weather is
enough to get a thin mans goat,
much less a stout person.
The lawyers too, welcome
this re relaxation and things are
pretty quiet these days in the
