BY T. S. ANDREWS.

MILWAUKEE,. February 8. 1914.
In these strenuous days of finance the
boxers, especially those in the upper
ten, are about as reasonable to do busi-
ness with as a suffragette at meeting
of millionaires. OF course, the pre-
liminary boxer as a rule has a great
many hard raps before he gets into the
real coin. Evidently he figures that il
is only fair to himself that he should
make some of the others bow down when
he occupies the golden chair. 1t IS GER
tain that some of the boxers who belong
to the star cast are harder to do busi-
ness with than operate queens. 1t
might be well for some of the boxers to
follow along the lines suggested in these
paragraphs:
Tips for Aspiring Boxers.
Never start in the game without chang
ing managers at least three times
AS a preliminary boxer. always insist
upon having at least four or i've seconds
in your corner You may not need them.
but insist upon the privilege anyhow
Never let your manager pass up
match because of weight conditions Ac-
cept, no matter if the other fellow weighs
a ton, as a few beatings may do you
good.
After graduating into the sem-fnal
class have your manager secure ene
brightest colored bathrobe obtainabie. 1t
adds luster to the ring surroundings.
Never accept minor bout after having
appeared in a wind-up, no matter now

Never pass up chance TO lead the
grand march at the society pail. or, IN
fact, any of the swell functions IL

ess and don't forget to sport DANDY
cane.
Have your manager secure twenty
week tour with some swell burleSque
show at nothing under $1,000 a weeE-
that is, when you join the upper circle
it helps in passing up good matches.
Instruct your manager to aiW avs
send telesrams to promoters "collect"
no matter whether it is on business
or not. The promoters like 1t.
Never permit your manager to ask
for less than half of the entire gate
receipts. With guarantee thrown in,
ali raliway fares. hotel bills. auto rides
and a bonus for attaching your name
to a contract. The other boxer don't
expect anything and the promoters
like to be made goats of.
Always post checks for forfeit with
a string attachment. SO you can call on
a match at the eleventh hour without
fear of losing a cent If the other fell
lows lose you need not worry.
Insist upon dicta ting all the terms. as
to how much the fans must pay to gaze
on you in action. how many passes
must be issued and what the papers
should print. Also insist upon taking
an army of attendants into the build
ing with YOU. The promoters like it
yes. they do.

the fold. To do so they would simply
have to purchase a franchise. return
to organized base ball the players they
control and abide by the powers vest
ed In the national commission.
1T has been pointed out all along
that there are not now enough play
ers of real merit to supply two minor
leagues. This fault might be remedied
to certain extent by a more rigorous
reserve limit.
1t will be proposed that the ma jor
leagues cut down the reserve to TWEEN
ty or eighteen men at all seasons of
the year. Thus. first division clubs
would not be permitted to carry lot
of substitutes who would be useful
to rival trailers. From the discarded
talent league of greater strength than
the big minors could be built. severe
roster limit carried right down the line
would be great saving to base ball"

the reason for his moderate showing.

Fast and Close Basket Ball Contests
Are Taking Place.

The best game yet played under the
auspices of the Union Athletic League
took place Saturday night in the Y. NJ.
c. A. gymnasium. on 18th street, and
resulted in a victory for Commercial
High School over the Y. NJ. c. a. quint
by the score of Fl to 1S. The game was
fast and at times u little rough, which
was disadvantageous to the lighter boys
from the high school. Anderson of the
y. NJ c. A. was the star of the con-
test, getting four of the field baskets
thrown, while the Commercial quint
showed the better teamwork and less of
individual play.
Previous to this game the St. Cyprian
auint played half a game with the NJ
Street High School team. but could not
finish. and had to suffer forfeited game
when one of the players received a
broken finger and no substitute was ON

league circuit. composed of Brooklyn
Washington. Baltimore and Buffalo in
the east and Pittsburgh, Cincinnati,
Cleveland and Detroit in the west.
Franchises for these cities would be
open to the highest bidder III.
money thus received could be held in
trust by the national commission.
IF II were demonstrated that a
third major league could not live, then
tEe money might be refunded to the in
vestors. Vt least such Il circumstance
would prove To those outside OF base
ball that all Is not milk and honey in
the promotion OF the merry pastime.
III the third major league should
make IA success the peace of organize d
base ball would be assured for twenty
years 10 come. All the desirable terri
tory would be blocked from other
aspirants. Tho influence and protection
of organized base ball would cripple
