1Ss2-Jack Dougherty, long promi.
nent as lightweight and welter-
weight boxer. born In Nottingham,
England. Dougherty was of mixed
Irish and English blood, and natural
fighter. His first bout of any impor-
lance was staged in Milwaukee early
In 1901, when he knocked out Maurice
Sayers, the Milwaukee Irish.American
boxer. After he himself had been
twice knocked out by novices at the
game. Dougherty again proved his
class by handing a sleep punch to
Charley Neary, the Milwaukee Ger.
man-American lightweight. In 1902
Jack was knocked out by Kid Herman
and Tommy Sullivan, but later dc.
feated Tommy and again knocked out
Sayers. The next year Neary turned
the tables on Jack, and he was also
defeated by Eddie Santry, whom he
later put away. During his long ring
career Dougherty met some Of the
best men of his weight in America
and Australia, and while often de-
feated, he always gave the fans a
run for their money.

BASEBALL TALK.

.
From 10. 100. people come up daily
with the remarks. "Well, what's to
write about baseball these days when
there is nothing doing?' Yes, friends,
the baseball world is about as quiet
as a canine who is infested with those
small insects that SO delight in MAX
ing miserable the life of the most
faithful of domestic animals. OF
course, little thing like news Of play
ers such as we are wont to talk about
seasonor two ago, does not come up
to the surface once in a month now,
but times bring changes and there
sure has been an upheaval.
II fans will evince an interest in 60
ing to the parks next season in pro.
portion to the manner in which they
are gobbling the court proceedings
and other baseball doings these days,
the magnates will have good year.
This, however, does not seem likely
and as a matter Of fact much of what
is transpiring now will put in It's hard
knocks when the time for play actual.
ly arrives.
Does anyone for a moment believe
that because the average fan reads
with gusto Of how temporary injunc.
tien against Lee Magee has been
sought, how Pol Perritt and Rebel
Cakes are indulging in fisticuffs, and
how Robert B.. Ward says one thing
and In turn is called fabricator by
Ban Johnson, that the parks are 60.
Ing to be crowded next season? Not
on your life. and every incident of this
sort is knock instead Of boost.
All this sort Of stuff destroys the
faith that fans have had, and the
game is constantly being surrounded
by other than the glamor that made
It the king Of sports in this country.
Of course, "a little thing like fist
that he intended to leave and Just
what opinion the courts will hold will
be awaited with great interest.
fight between two men does not mean
that they will part friends for life. I.
seems that Pol Perritt took exception
to being called yellow and Manager
Cakes can hardly blame the pitche:
for resenting a remark like that.
That Ban Johnson should deny. the
statement Of Robert B. Ward concern.
ing the peace negotiations is not sur.
prising, tnasmuch as Ban has denied
everything the Federals have ever
said or done. Mr.. Ward, however,
comes dangerously close to knowing
just what took place while the peace
plans were being discussed and the
Brookfeds owner has shown himself
not the typesef man who; goes off half
cooked. We happen to know a few
things about what went on ut that
time and but for the fact that Ward
and Weeghmau and others OF the
league refused TO be swallowed up,
the deal would baye been put through

SPoRToGRAPHY.
BY Gravy"
BIRTHDAY OF AL kAuF.
MAN AND GEORGE GREEN,

g y 10 81
THE FAMOUS FIGHTERS.
This is the birthday OF two Of the
many famous fighting Native Sons"
who have 80 long kept California in
the pusilistic limelight-Al Kaufman
and George Green, the original Young
Corbett." Kaufman was born in San
Francisco 90 years ago, and Green de.
butted into the same city 40 years ago.
The latter held for a short time pre-.
carious footing on the. ,topmost rung
of the welterweight ladder, although
some authorities do not list him as
among the champions Of that diyi-
sion. Kaufman was at one time the
most promising Of the white heavies,
and Bill Brady and other good judges
ofsfighting material predicted that he
was headed straight for the cham.
pionship. Poor old AL stubbed his toe
and fell down, however. and few
months ago he announced his final
and forever" retirement from. the ring
after having been knocked out in ex.
actly fifteen seconds by Tom McMa-
hon, Of Pittsburgh, "the bearcat." Al
was rushed too fast when he was a
kid, and as a>result, although he Is
only 20 and ought to be in his fight.
ing prime, he is all through.
Kaufman Is OF German-American
stock, six feet and an in inch in
height, weighs over 200 pounds, and
with proper development ought to
have made a champion. He was IS
when he began his ring career by
knocking out Jack Walsh in the first
round at San Francisco. He had won
five bouts, all by knockouts, when hs
was matched with the veteran Phila.
delphias Jack o'Brien. For II rounds
al fought gamely, but the clever Phil.
adelphian slowly wore him down anG
in the 18th ended AIS misery with q
Knockout. II al had never been match.
ed with. o'Brien at that stage Of the
game his whole future career might
have been different. The next year
he knocked out Dave Barry and Geo.
Gardner in Los Angeles, and In 1907
he defeated Mike (Twin) Sullivan
and put away Mike Shreck and Dave
Barry. In 1908 he knocked out Jim
Flynn and Jim Barry, the latter in
the seth round, at Vernon, and stop.
ped several other good men. Pretty
soon he began to go back, and since
1911, he has been knocked out by
Jim Flynn at Kansas City, by A,
jPalzer at New York, and by Luther
McCarty, Kid Kenneth, Charlie Nil.
Ter and Tom Mcmahon, among others.
George Green, the original "Young
Corbett,n like the real Corbett, came
OF good San Francisco family and
was well educated. AS young Eel.
low he was fond Of athletics and join
ed the Olympic A. c., where James
u. Corbett was then boxing instructor.
He became so interested in the box
Ing game that he told his parents that
he intended to become a professional
