BIC HEAVYWEIGHT
BATTLE WEDNESDAY
Coffey and Reich Are TO
Winner Will Get
Crack at Willard
LEWIS PICKS
REICH TO WIN

One of the most important of the
elimination bouts TO determine which
of the white heavyweights is entitled
to a match with Willard when that
elongated puncher gets ready to enter
the ring again will be that between
Jim Coffey and AL Reich in New York
on Wednesday night. Coffcy has
shown such excellent form in recent
bouts that il is believed he would
have good chance against the cham
pion.
Coffey's contention has been dis
puted by AL Reich. the Adonis OF the
roped square, and the meeting will
probably settle the question. The
bout will establish Reich's status one
way or the other, and if Coffey de-
feats the blond-haired thumper de-
cisiyely it will probably end his dream
of title holding. Coffoy has exhibited
better all around form in the past few
months than any of the heavyweights
among the white heavyweight contin-
gent
Willie Lewis, who is training Reich
has given out a tip TO his friends
TO take as much Of the short end
money as they can get. He Is con-
fdent that Coffey is one man Reich
can beat. and his version of the out
come is a plausible one.
Reich knows more about the game
than Coffcy. having had as much OK
perience and a broader knowledge of
the finer points of boxing" says
Lewis. "He is a harder hitter than
Coffey. faster in his delivery, and a
more natural puncher.

semi-professional exhibitions ever
seen in Delaware and Maryland and
stamped the league as a success.
In Wilmington 500 fans turned out
TO see the Parkside-Traction Com
pany game The attendance was not
up to expectations however, and in
consequence the Wilmington clubs Of
the league will play 10 cent ball here
after while at home. An additional
15 cents will be charged for grand
stand seats.
Mayor Howell started the local
game by throwing out the first ball
Other pleasing features were a con-
cert by the Odd Fellows Band, flag
raising and the presentation OF a
bouquet to f. p. Jolls. manager Of the
Traction Co. team The game itself
was a splendid exhibition, Parkside
playing like professionals. Loose
fielding by the Traction Co. due to
a lack Of practice, hurt the live wires.
On the other hand, Parkside played

Hoch. after ten innings of clever pitch
ing, lost another hard luck game to
Johns Hopkins of Baltimore, Saturday
afternoon, 7 to 6 The game was won
by Hopkins in the eleventh inning on
three-base hit by Noble.
The pitching of Hoch was the par
ticular feature of the game, which,
however, was replete with both sensa-
tional and poor fielding. While Hoch
pitched great ball. yet he was largely
responsible for his own defeat. In the
third inning he started the inning off
with three-base drive to left field.

men up both flied to the outfield. Had
he held third and started with the
catch, Hoch would have scored on
either of them, but he did not make

With this run, which was thrown
