The woods were full of aspirants
to the lightweight title when Freddie
Welsh first landed on these shores

now. Not that Freddie has put them
out of the way. Oh. goodness. no!
Freddie hasn't put anybody or any
thing away, except about fifty thou
sand American dollars.
It's almost uncanny the way those
fellows have slipped from view. Leach
Cross made large noises some months
ago: so did Charley White. Willie
Beecher. Young Shugrue. Tommy Muir
ply, Willie Richie, AID Wolgast and a
flock of lesser luminaries. But some
how or other the gang isn't as promi-

in the last six months. Wolgast has

Unless some Of the magnates in
the National league get chilly feet
and start retrenchment policy at
this late hour the old circuit is going
to get away from the pole in the pen
nant flight this year with less shake
ups in the managerial department
that it has for several years.
Only two new shippers are noticed
collecting their cohorts for the south
land trip this season. Pat Moran
has taken the place of sorrel-topped
Charley Doom at welding the baton
over the Phunny Phills, and Rajah
Bresnahan, the portly ex-director of
the Cards, is going to take whirl at
the Cubs.
Rajah is no stranger to the Ma
tional league strategists, if there be
such things. His methods were
pretty we'll noised amound when he
was serving St. Louis sentence and
also while he was with the Cubs last
year.
Moran is somewhat of an unknown
quantity. But looking over the nu-
cleus he has to start with, it doesn't
appear as though he were going to
put very many straws in the paths of
George Stallings, Jawn McGraw and
the rest of the crew. The PhiI's two
mainstays with the stick, Sherwood
Magee and Hans Lobert, have been
let go in trades to Boston and New
York
His pitching staff, from this early
viewpoint doesn't look calculated to
make the other managers green with
envy, especially when it is considered
what backed it up. Grover Cleve
land Alexander is, of course, the real
noise Rixey and Mayors should
prove good men; Demaree is rather
an unknown quantity
Bresnahan is more fortunate. He
is taking the field with practically
the same crowd he worked with last
year and one that on paper should
be a contender all the way. Pierce,
Lavender, Vaughn and Cheney, with
several others, make pitching staff
that can't be sneeZed at and the bat
ting and fielding strength is back
of it.

Some of the old tricks of the ring
still are in use despite the frigid
looks Of the boxing public and the
new generation of fighters. Of course,
the days when a boxer could work his
man around to the wings so some Sec
ond could slam him with board and
put him to sleep, are past. But there
are several leading boxers who owe
4 great deal of their "cleverness" to
the little aids, perfectly harmless,
probably, but still aids.
One of the most common of all is
the use of grease. A fighter who
greases his body can slip in and out
of clinches about ten times as easy
as he could were his skin not so slip
perry. From the viewpoint of the
average fan he appears cleverer and
quicker on his feet

man-killer used to rub oil into his

In Willie Beecher's recent ten
round fiasco with Champion Freddie
Welsh at the Garlen, the" East Side
boy was as slippery as an eel. He
appeared much faster than he really
is and he got away with it in good

qualified him had he so minded, but
so long as Welsh or his seconds didn't
offer objections, Willie stayed CREASED.
Another aged wheeze still in prac-
tice is that of plastering their hair
down with camphor ice. There are
two objects in this: One, that it
keeps. the hair from dropping down
over their eyes, and, two, camphor
ice when in close proximity to the
eyes has a tendency to make them
blink and water a little. 1t isn't
harmful, but certainly is annoying.
In clinch when their heads are
close together the fumes are sure to
have some effect.
