WHITE-SHUCRUE
FIGHT TOMORROW
Battle Should Have Bearing on
Coming Championship
Contests.

New York, Dec 2S.-A boxing bout
that should score heavily toward de-
termining who is the champion light
weight boxer of America, if not the
title holder of the world, will be de-
cided Tuesday night in a ten round
session at Madison Square garden,
with Charley White of Chicago and
Young Joe" Shugrue of Jersey City
as the principals. The boys will scale
135 pounds at o'clock.
Whites record shows a ten round,
no decision bout with Champion Fred
die Welsh in Milwaukee in which the
most expert fistic opinion gave the Chi
cago boy a draw. Shugrue has to his
credit a popular decision over the title
holder, obtained at a time when the
Briton was scarcely in as good condi-
ton as when he met White. This in
dicates the boys are we'll matched, an
opinion also reflected in the betting,
which is practically at evens, with
White having slight call tonight.
The winner of this bout is likely to
secure matches with Champion Welsh
or Willie Ritchie.

CHALLENGE TO w. HOPPE

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 2S.-George
Slosson of New York has withdrawn
his challenge to Willie Hoppe to play
for the 1872 balk line billiard champion
ship. In doing so he forfeited the
$3.50 he posted in Gotham to bind the
match. This was announced last night
by r. H. Benjamin. manager of Willie
Hoppe and Melbourne Inman.
Under the rules governing the play
the titleholder must defend his cham
pionship within 60 days after being
challenged. Hoppe accepted Slosson's
def and chose Minneapolis as the
place for the match, canceling three
exhibition dates so as not to interfere
with the match.
According to Benjamin, the cham
pion has the privilege of naming the
city where the match is to be staged.
Slosson. who owns a billiard establish
ment in New York, wanted the match
TO take place in that city. Hoppe, how
ever, refused to concede this point,

Bobby Wallace Oldest IL, the Service

st. Louis, Mo-. Dec. 2s.-Who is the
Oldest player in point OF service at
present on the ball field?
Now. don't all answer at once and
claim Lajoie or Wagner. for it is
neither.
The player who has drawn salary
for ball playing the greatest number
of consecutive seasons Is none other
than Bobbie Wallace of the st. Louis
Browns. The past season was his
twenty-second consecutive one on the
diamond. twafyears longer than Lajoie
and a season more than Wagner.
Now many will no doubt say, why.
I did not think Wallace was older
than Wagner. Well. he isn't, for the
big Pirate shortstop was born Feb. "a.
1874, while Wallace was born Nov.
the same year. and that sterling play
er, Larry Lajoie, was born Sept. 8,
1875. so there you have the correct
ages OF the three oldest players in
point OF consecutive playing before the
the public.
Both Wallace and Wagner are Pitts
burgh boys. as both were born in that
city. but Bobbie began his career just
two years ahead OF his old pal. Wal
lace began pitching ball FOR the Etna
Stars Of Pittsburgh when he was kid
OF Is and he soon developed into the
best amateur pitcher in that city.
where they have turned out some
great players. II soon began to be
whispered around of the young won
der. who was beating all the other
clubs in that section. so that he was
soon in demand by all the leading
clubs.
After going along as an amateur
(there was no semi-pros those days) |
he was signed 10 play his first pro
fessional game with the Clarion team
in 1898.
When the following season started |
Wallace was signed to play with the |
Franklin team of the Iron and Oil |
league. Wallace played both the in
field and outfield on account of his
hard hitting.
Hs(took part in so games and had
n batting average of over 800. while
he won % out OF 81 games he pitched.
