"RABbIT" MEANWHILE
 IS TN OUR MIDST"
Shortstop Of Boston Braves Swap
 ping Tales Of Other Days.

Maranville, better known to the Springfield Mass, who pulls down a healthy looking pay envelope on the first and fifteenth of the month for ambling swiftly around an undefined territory lying between the second and third bases of the Boston Nation al league team, is 'in our midst" as the guest of James Hoar, proprietor of a billiard room on Main street.
 Maranville, better known to the fans as the Rabbit" and Hoar are old pals, having played together in factory league in Springfield. Hoar was on the firing line and earned his salt by striking out batters. Maran- vile was ins the infeld and it was his duty to retire runners at first if Hoar did not make them punch the air thrice. The com bination worked we'll Maranville began to climb and the first thing he knew he was short stopping for the Boston Braves, the joke of every newspaper between Passport, Me, and Portland, Ore. It was a tail end team and as such was entitled to no more recognition than any tail end team usually gets-and that isn't much.
 Imitation of a Rocket.
 But days passed, as days have the habit of doing, and the insignificant Boston Braves began to nibble at the heels of the clubs that straddled their back. Then they electrified the baseball world by shooting steadily to the top of the league and staying there. A big share of honor for this upward and onward movement was due "Ra bbit' Maranville. Hell crack" the Gotham fans shouted but they might just as well have saved their breath as Rabbit kept scur- rying around beeween second and third and kept lining out the timely bingles. Then came the worlds series. But that is a matter of history. Paul Revere's ride was a balmy summers eve jaunt com pared with the manner in which the Braves rode blithsomely over the netks of the Philadelphia Athletics.
 Despite the fact that he is one of the biggest men in baseball Rabbit Maranville has not forgotten his

and the next year the Denver lad annexed the featherWeight title by knocking out Terry McGoVern at Hartford. The little Italian also ad- ministered the sleep dope to Tommy MoWatt. the famous Chicago boxer, and batt1ed draws with George Dixon and Young Corbett.
 At that period Yanger looked like a coming champion, but the hoodoo that prevents Italians from reaching the top of the pugilistic ladder was still at work. Yanger defeated Young Corbett and Harry Forbes shortly be- fore they became champions, and in 1901 he whipped George Dixon short ly after the Chocolate Drop had lost his featherweight honors to Terry McG overn. The Italian outpointed the clever negro in fifteen fast rounds at St. Louis. In 1902 Yanger stopped Abe Atte1l in nineteen rounds, not many months before the little Hebrew claimed the featherweight title. Benny also defeated Austin Rice, the veteran "Iron Man, at Chicago, and Kid Herman, the Montreal Hebrew was knocked out in the third round by the little Italian.
 In 1903 Yanger whipped Kid Broad, the Cornishman, in a 20-round bout

Ill Louisville, and defeated Hugh Me- Padden in Detroit. Yanger then went to the Pacific coast, where he was matched to fight Eddie Hanlon. the little California "phenom," who had made such brilliant rise in the fistic profession. In their first battle, pulled off in San Francisco, Benny held Eddie to draw after twenty rounds of brilliant work. They were matched again few months later. and this time Hanlon received the de- clslon, although Yanger went the full tWentN-round route, and made a good showing. This was the first time in his career the Italian boy had tasted defeat.
 Yanger then returned to Chicago and fought a draw with Aurelio Her lera, the Mexican lightweight. He then defeated Charley Weary in Mill waukee, after which he was again matched with Herrera. His second session with the Mexican took place in Butte, Mont, and Yanger was knocked out in the eighth round. It was the turning of the tide for the little Italian, and he was never as good again. He defeated Maurice Savers in Milwaukee, and then went East and was stopped by Tommy Murphy at Philadelphia, and lost to Kid Herman at Indianapolis, to Steve Kinney at Davenport, and to Matty Baldwin at Boston. In 1907 he fought his last important bout when he was knocked out by Packey Mcfarland at Fort Wayne, Ind. A year or two later he tried to pull a comeback, but met only inferior men. In his prime Yan- ger was a great little boxer, and he ranks among the best of the near champions

 BY "GRAVY."

Although no Italian has ever won a worlds pugilistic title, many of the sons of sunny Italy have been game and clever boxers. One of the best of them was Benny Yanger, who re- tired from the ring about six years ago, after long career as a feather weight and lightweight. Yanger, who was sometimes called the 'Tipton Slasher,"' was born in New York city tnirty-three years ago today, Feb. IS, 1882. He stood only little over five feet five inches.
 Benny was about seventeen when he started fighting, first as a bantam and later in the feather and lightweight divisions He won many of his early battles by knockouts, and among his victims were several boys who later held championships. In 1900 he knocked out Harry Forbes in the fifth round of a bout in Chicago. shortly before the Rockford boy won the worlds bantamweight title. In the same year he stopped Young Corbett

TO-DAY IN PUGILISTIC ANNALS.

1912-JohnnN COulon defeated Frankie Burns in 20 rounds ct New Orleans. Tn the opinion of many of the fans who witnessed this battle, the Jersey City boxer had the best of it in fifteen of the rounds, and should have been awarded the decision and the bantamWeight championship of the world. The referee, Harry Stout, came in for much criticism from the Burns backers and the crowd at the ringside was not at all pleased when Stout raised COulon's hand as the vic- tor. Burns was apparently a bit fear some of the champion. and, with a little more pep" and aggressiveness, he might have scored a clean-cut vic tory. When Kid Williams went after the title he didn't hesitate to mix things, and as a result he won by a, knock out in short order. Burns had a lot that day in New Orleans, but he lacked the punch that would have brought home the bacon.
