Wolsast gained clear lead early

it. Ad had the better of the second,

Rivers gained shades i'm the fourth ami
eighth The other rounds were even,
but each man had to keep busy at all
times To hold his own.
Rivers bled profusely throughout the
match. Al split his opponents nose
and mouth i'm the second round and
kept pcppering away at the cuts
throughout the mill.
Twice during the fight Wolgast went
to the floor by missing swings and
each time Joe fell on top of him once
they wrcstled with Referee Stout in

ABOLISH RESERVE CLAUSE.
Scout Of Highlanders Would Make the
PLAYERS Free AGENTS

Arthur Irwin, who scouts for the
liighlanders, has hit on novel plan
To satisfy ball players by practically
dbolishing the reserve clause. Irwin
suggests, and his ideas will soon be
forwarded to all the owners of the
major league clubs, that instead of a
club reserving all it's players after the
season closes it he permitted To hold
only five or. at the most, seven, Of its
best piayers-the so-called stars of the
team. He then fay ors throwing the
rest of the players on the open mar
kct. In other words, he would make
all but the stars of a team free agents
with the privilege OF selling their ser
vices 10 the highest bidders.
Things have come To such "a pass.
SAYS Irwin, that it is no longer pos
sibe for a second division team to
build NJ without great patience and
expense. 1t is almost impossible to
buy good player. He must be de-
veloped.
"rhe strong teams maintain their
strength often 10y keeping men on the
bench that they cannot use. If the
great majority of major league play
ors were to be placed on the bargain
counter each wear the best material.
which is far too scarce, would be more
evenly distributed The clubs would
be far better balanced and lot of
money that is squandered annually ON
experimenting with players would be
saved"
