COLTS WIN THREE
IN ROW OF 2600'S
Brews Lose One, But Claim
Three Games BY Forfeit
Who is Leading League?

Another knotty problem has arisen
in the Island City Bowling league. AL
though the Brews won only two out of
three games from the Hubers last eve
ming, they claim all three by forfeit,
on the basis that one player was no
eligible to roll. The leaders of the
other teams claim that the captain Of
the Brews consented to let the player
in question roll and take the conse-
quences. So now another delicate
question confronts the president of
the league.
The Colts grabbed three straight
from the 26O0's at the Harms alleys,
and according to the scores of the
games rolled should lead the league
by a margin of one game. However,
the question will be settled at the next
meeting of the league officials.
The scores of the games follow:

| Slavin. He was built like a Hercules,
and though not a champion, knew
| quite a bit about the ring game. A
little science and a punch that would
! do credit to Pre- sent-day champs gave
him a great reputation in Dawson
! City. The miners got together and
| framed up bout. Slavin was signed,
but the promoters encountered trou-
BILE until Gotch heard that they were
looking for an opponent. Gotchs ring
ambitions at this time were ripe. No
body had heard anything about him,
but his size impressed the matchmak-
ers and he was signed up for his first
battle. Like many other aspiring
boxers Gotch saw a brilliant ring
career crystalized into concrete form.
Gotch wasn't altogether a novice.
He had been boxing ever since he
was old enough to handle pillow on
the farm. Moreover, he was equipped
with build that was the envy of
more than one boy who had been
reading the lives of great fighters and
hoped to be as famous. The miners
liked Gotch's looks and a few took
flyer, backing him against the more
experienced man. His youthful labors
on the farm and the outdoor life made
him as hard as steel. Gotch thought
he was a good boxer and there was
some ground for this claim, for he
had defeated all the boys of his home
town. After Gotch was matched he
began training just like a real cham
pion. He left no stone unturned get
ting in physical trim.
Gotch's Own Story.
The day of the fight arrived; we'll
let Gotch tell in his own words his
eventful meeting with Slavin:
Although Pm a pretty big fellow
myself. I really believe l never saw
a man who looked as husky as Slavin
did that night. I've heard the story
of the second time Jim Jeffries fought
Monroe on the coast. Monroe had held
JEFF to a standstill in a four-round eX-
hibition affair some time before up in
q Montana camp, and the miners real
ly thought that Monroe had chance
to beat Jeffries, especially after JEFF
had held off fighting him. The truth
was Jeff's wife objected to him fight
ing any more, but the report was
spread around that JEFF was afraid of
Monroe. When they finally met they
had to hold a towel in front of Mon
roe's face when JEFF climbed into the
ring, he looked so big and powerful
JEFF, you remember, stalked over,
jerked the towel away and yanked
Monroe to his feet to shake his hand
I've been told that Jeff had Monroe
beaten before the scrap really began.
sit wasn't that bad with me when
l fought Slavin. 1 had the nerve TO
think that l could beat him. ] did
lot of hard training and was in the
best possible shape As for beating
Slavin. / had another guess coming.
All l remember is l got up when the
gong rang and squared off. Slavin
sort OF smiled when l stuck out my
mitts. a second later his right shot
out and caught me flush on the jaw
When | came to my senses ! realized
that l wasn't cut out to be fighter.
After that l took TO wrestling; but

GOSSIP FROM THE
CENTRAL CIRCUIT
Be1den Hill Sought BY Federal
League as Scout But Turns
Down Offer.

Burlington, Iowa. March 25.-Word
from Cedar Rapids states that the
Federal league officials are trying to
get Manager Belden Hill TO accept a
position as scout for them 1t does
not blame anyone for wanting the as
sistance of PA" Hill. He is a keen
man when it comes to Judging ball
players. The Cedar Rapids fans
realize this, and have strenuously OPP
posed his plan for turning the re-
sponsible management of the team
over to some other person. The
league learns with satisfaction that
Manager Hill has refused the offers
made by the Federals.
Evidently the Central association
season is going to start off this year
with a greater enthusiasm than for a
number of seasons past. The indica-
tions are that every city is more alive
than ever to value of the game as an
advertisement to the community, and
as a means of getting out into the
open air, away from business and en-
joying a clean, uplifting recreation.
1t is possible that the Introduction of
new blood into the circuit is RESPONSE
BILE for this improved morale of the
league. Certain it is that the activ-
ity of Marshalltown and Clinton, the
two new cities, has not been any
detriment to the league.
Keokuk. Iowa. March 25.-A meet
ing of the Baseball Grounds associd-
ton directors will be held within a
few days when the baseball associa-
ton will offer proposition which
will result in the construction of a
grand stand at the new park for use
a year from this summer when the
street car extension to the park has
been completed.
The baseball association expects
to submit a proposition for the rent
ing of the park at a figure which will
make the baseball park a paying
to the owners. AS it is,
the baseball park is paying practi-
cally no return on the investment.
The baseball association has quite a
large amount of material for the con-
struction of fences that will be sold
to the grounds association at cost.
This material was originally pur-
chased at a cost of several thousand
dollars but was sold to the local club
for about $500. 1t is all practically as
good as new.
