Manager Robinson has accomplished wonders with the men.
 The acquisition of Shortstop Egan fills out the team to perfection. Cut shaw told me that he has never work ed with a. better man on his right. This gives 8. much better 1nf1eId than we had last year. and all Brook lyn knows how that quartet stood in the percentage column.

When the catcher ar rived here yesterday he hobbled to the hotel on crutches. A physician was called and after examining the ankle said that Gossett had lfgament on the ankle bone badly torn and that his case may be more serious than was anticipated. It will take an other day or two to ascertain just how serious the injury may be- He was suffering much pain all day and Man ager Chance was thinking of sending him to New York but took him on to Atlanta believing that he might improve rapidly Gossett is under the care Of Doc Barrett, the trainer.
 Another member of the team report ed on the injured list as the second team arrived at Birrningha am King Cole had two stitches taken in a leg.

BOXING NOTES
fBv n s. Andrews.J

{f3ys 1T. s. AnoE3W<. J. It looks as though Joe Fox, the Brit ish bantam weight is the real goods as far as lighting ability goes. Fox WAS brought over here by George Mc- Donald, the English sporting man, who announced at the time that young Joe
 would make his mark against the lsAmerfcan bant ntanweights So far he has fought aboft ten battles and ac- cording to the newspapers, has won every one of them.
 This is making good with a ven- geance. MT. Mcdonald has been en- ldeavoring to match Fox up with. eith- CT Johnny tCou1on, the American cham pion, or Kid Williams, the persistent challenger of Coulon, but to date he has been unable to bring about a match.
 During the past te1i days CouIon and Williams have agreed to fight 20 rounds before Tom McCarey's club at Los Angeles some time in June, for the l title; so that MT. Fox will have to wait until after that time before he gets a chance. He is young being only IS years of age, and can afford to wait a I while, and in the meantime he is gain 1 ing experience with every fight and getting into the American style.
 I Manager Mcdonald authorizes me to l state that he will deposit $5,O00 to ga
 as side bet to meet the winner of lthe Coulon-WiIIiams contest, the match
 after the signing of the articles. John fny Kenny, the well-known English 1 turfman. is the man who is backing
 Mcdonald in this venture. Fox ia
 not the recognized bantam champion lof England. but he is considered as tgood as the champion and has the cash Ito back up his claims with. It is l likely that a match will be made with the winner of the title-scrap at Los
 Angeles and 1t will not be surprising
 if MT. McCarey stages this match a1- 1so: In the interval Fox will be match
 ed with some of the best boys in the
 east

cE,Nts1dsH SOCCER STARS GET
 "CIGARETTE MONEY WAGES

Professional soccer, which IS 10 n7.neIisb fans what professional pail ia to Americans, is now reaching me axci+inp stage with the 6em1-nna4 scheduled for day after tomorrow Soccer football contests in John Bull island often attract crowds that make the tremendous concourse of human ivy, at a worlds series baseball game look small by comparison There Is the consideration, however, that the :, ,l4n,;ssion fees are much lower to an English soccer match than 70 an American baseball park, and that sthousandks of EngIishmen are content with standing room only. Over here if is a rabid fan indeed who would stand up to see a ball game, and most of them consider that they have done their full duty by their leg muscles when they get up and stretch to bring luck in the seventh inning.
 On the eighth of this month the four principal football games in England were witnessed by a total of 164,OO0 people, who paid for the privilege $3s 98o. or an average of about twenty ty-four cents a head, In Sheffield, a comparatively small city, 10000 turned out to see the famous cup fighter. Aston Villa, perform against the local team.
 Although professional soccer at tracts such big crowds, the players receive payment that could hardly be dignif1ed by the name of salary, and is less. than the wages of a skilled la borer on this side of the Atlantic. A minor league Baseball player in the backwoods league would turn up his nose if offered such a sum as is re- eeived by a soccer star in England.

He has a couple of eIl7 gagements to keep before he meets Kid williams on the coast in June. and one Of them will prooab1y be in New Yorz< Just now negotiations fare pending for bout with liar len,s best bantam Battling Reddy, and when Cioulon feels that it time to talk business he will very likely cover the forfeit that Reddy's man ager Charley Baker, has posted.
 CouIon Is one or the most ma1igned little boxers in the country. He takes a place beside Willie Ritchie in this respect The fine record he has made counts for nothing with the chronic knockers. For them he must get out and build up a new reputation right after he gets out Of a sick bed
 But when Johnny is going right, and if he hasn't gone back as was feared on the occasion of his last ap- peararsce in the ring hell make them all sit up and learn to know that he is one of the real champions of the game Cou1on looks for one more fight besides the one with Teddy be- fore Williams, and then if he is still there he wall give that Baltimore lad something hen reneTmber

Today in Pugilistic Annals.


 f901ETommy Sullivan and Austin Rice fought 20-round draw at New London. Connecticut was then a pop ular fighting ground for the boxers, owing to its proximity to New York City, where the game was then pro hibited, and the featherweights were especially prone to settle their differ ences in the Wooden Nutmeg State. Sullivan and Rice were among the leading contestants for the crown worn by Terry MeGovern. Earlier in the year Sullivan had whipped Joe Bern stein at New Britain and Billy Bar rett at Hartford, and Rice had de- feated Hugh McPadden at New Ha- ven. Austin and Tommy fought an other 20-round draw in June, 1901. Later in that year, at Hartford. Young Corbett took the fesghegweight title by knocking out Terry McGovern, Tommy Sullivan succeeded Corbett as champion in 1904, and held the title until 1908, when he was defeated by Abe AttelI.

SPRINGFIELD FANS
 COMING HERE TO
 SEE BOXING SHOW

Matchmaker Hogan of the Union Boating Club has received word from Springfield that a large delegation of fans will come down from that city Monday evening to see the boxing show which will be staged at the new Casino on State street. They are great admirers of Chick West, the boy who is to meet Gene Moriarity in ten round bout.
 It is expected that 30 to 40 Spring field fans will make the trip, some coming here by auto and. others by train It is 3. long distance to travel to see g, show but one Springfield fan who telephoned for ringside tickets told Matchmaker Hogan that the ad-
 nirers of West didn't mind making the trip as long as they could see s fine show.
 The six boys who are to take part in the big event are hard at work get ting into shape. Young McAu1iffe and Frankie Fleming, the star bout boys are nearly down to weight and Red Allen and BuI Palma, who will open the show, are in fine shape. Rfngside tickets are selling fast and everything points to a big house.
