That record has never been surpassed in England The Kelly-Smith scrap at Melbourne last ed twelve minutes longer. The Bowen Burke battle in New Orleans in 1888 and the Needhan-K gan fight in San Francisco in 1890 both surpassed the English and Australian records for pugilistic endurance.

in the 1904 season. at the close of which he was drafted by the Chicago Nationals. He didn't look good enough for Hart.s club, and he was turned over to Portland. Ore, in the Pacific Coast League, for further sea- soning. Mike still entertained the idea that he was a born first bagger. and the Portland manager gave him am other trial in that position. but Mitch ell couldn't get away with 1t. Tn 1906 he was back in the outer garden, and that annum he simply made the Coast League twirlers look like monkeys. They all looked alike to Mike, and he landed on their delivery with such good effect that he finished the season with a batting average of 1851.
 After that it was foregone conclu- sion that Mike was ripe for the big show, but his rabbits foot wasn't working, for he didn't get back to the Cubs, but was captured by Cincinnati. He batted .292 his first year with the Reds, but after slumpinE in 1903 he came back strong the next year with an average of .31O, which was of no slight ass; stance in keeping the Reds in the first division. Since then Mike has had his ups and downs, but he has been able to keep pretty close to the 300 mark most seasons.

Coast Boxers Are
 Coming East to Get
 Bouts With Ring Stars

Jack Kearns the Pacific coast box ing promoter, sends the following to The Farmer
 With the lid about to close on the fight game in California am starting East with Fighting Billy Murray and Red Watson. two prospective worlds champions.
 Murray recently knocked out Sailor Ed. Petrosky in two rounds, a trick which Jimmy Glabby was un- able to turn in two fights of twenty rounds each, and which George Chip also failed in fIae last time he tried. Aside from Mnrsay the only man who ever stopped Pe4rosky was Chip. and he did 1t on aa occasion when the Sailor was undoubtedly a. sick man. Jack Dillon and Frank Claus (when the latter was champion1 have tried to stop Petrosky, without success. 1f5 fCslabby, who was in San Francisco when Murray stopped Petroslzy turn ed down an offer of a $2,5O0 bet for return match with Murray, who had previously boxed him a draw and conpeIIed him to leave for Australia Do avoid meeting him again.
 Those who saw Murray stop Petro- sky are predicting that the CalifoTn- ian who is mere youngster, and whose ring career extends over a period of less than a year. will do the same for Chip within six months
 -.Red Watson has yet to make his mark outside of California, sbut here he is already considered beyond ques- ton the hardest hitting lightweight in the world and is so dangerous that willie Ritchie within the past month refused to meet him.
 aWatsons will seek matches with / Freddie Welsh, Charlie White and all the top-notch light weights. and will undoubtedly prove sensation in the East. for it has been many years since the light weight division has been able to boast of so hard a hitter.
 Murray is particularly anxious to obtain a match with Clabby and the Indianan must either fight now or acknowledge that he is afraid. Wat son. will fight anybody in his class, but prefers a match with 5" Punch less Freddie Welsh. He figures that it is about time we had a Champion with real kick.
