''Beck's" Amen Corner
BY "BECK.'

MILWAUKEE is getting credit
4'A for staging the best boxing
bouts in America for the reason
that the clubs there insist on en-
fOrcement of the rules. The privi-
lege of hitting with one arm free"
doesn't mean that boxers can hold
and hit as they are allowed to do
today in most rings. In Milwaukee,
the referees order a break when the
clinch becomes too lengthy, and if,
on the second call, the men fail to
break away, they are ordered from
the ring. In New York state, the
rules call for the "clean break"
style of boxing, which is boxing and
not prize-fghting. But the rule is,
sad to say, not any too well en-
forced. The clean break rule gives
the light hitting but clever boxer an
immense advantage over the slugger
and the ''hit with one arm free"
rule was brought in to give both men
an equal chance. The sluggers have
abused it but now the beer town
promoters have set out to put the
game back on a proper standard
and they appear to be succeeding.

In the writer's opinion, this should not
prevent either man from putting up a
good scrap and Hemple and Flynn

excitement Both are mixers. and If
they can be matched. the fans will see
some excitement.
Four Fights, p Days.
Hemple is in good shape and Flynn
looked very fit when he called at The
Herald office. He says he weighs 1872
pounds and has fought four times in

they are about even UP on that score
The visiting stOckmen are anxious

good crowd.

T-RI." AIARQUARD Of the New
York Giants, who in 1912
IN euualled the worlds record for
consecutive wins with 10 straight, and
who last season staged an even more
surprising performance by losing II
straight. has pitched many remarkable
games during his rather short career
as a big Lacquer. Marquard's record OF
10 straight wins was started on the
opening day of the season, April II, ana
ended with his final victory on july q,
although he was not beaten until the
eighth A rather strange feature of the
wonderful feat is the fact that IN the
10 games he scored only one shut out
winning over Cincinnati 8 TO l on May
20. The NEST runs made off his deliv-
cry in any one Of the games was g.
by the Boston club on June 20.
Worked Under n Strain.
According to Marquard, ne paid uttle
attention to his winning streak until
he had recorded ten straight At that
stage the papers commented great
deal on his work. From the tenth
game on, he was working under a
strain, according to the big soUthpaw.
Every victory scored after the tenth
win was a big event to him, because he
was working under pressure trying to
keep defeat away. His biggest scare
came on June 10 when he recorded his
18th straight win. Luck smiled on him
that day, for he was hit hard, but he
managed to take down a to . victory.
His Best Feat.
Not content with being tied for the
major league record for consecutive
wins. MarQuard last year tablished
another National league record, and in
so doing came through with what he
regards as the very best pitching feat
Of his career. On July II. 1914, pitching
against PittsbUrg in that city, Mar
guard, after q innings of battling, the
longest game ever played in the Nation
al league. won over the Pirates 8 to l.
The finish Of that great game was most
dramatic. Pittsburg scored in the very
first inning, then went scOreless for the
next 20 sessions. New York tied the score

As the mill progressed, men would
jump up, generally with their backs
to the ring, waving fist full Of money

bad or worse, everyone bet on them
and often bet very large sums. Now
and then some dispute would start an
impromptu fight on the outside Of the
ring and. in general an air of excite

night like this, it is not hard to SEQ

DUDE MARQUARD signed a con-
tract with the Federals last
winter. He drew an advance of
1900 and had a good time. Then he
discovered that his contract with
the Giants was still binding. The
Giants have advanced Rube the
$500 to repay the Brooklyn Feds
and the cratic southpaw will find
his pay short just that much this
season. Moral: 1t pays to stick to
binding contracts.

BRANCH RICKEY, manager of the
st. Louis Browns, is a queer
manager. Just about this time of
the year, eight managers in each big
league are, as a rule, declaring that
the pennant belongs to his particular
club. This year, there are only seven
claiming the flag in the American
league. Branch says that his team
won't land the flag this year but it
will be in the first division. That
comes pretty near making a record
for managers.
x X
RALL PLAYERS have funny no
tons at times. The Los Angeles
club recently called one of its play
ers into the city from a distance of
about $50 miles, placed a contract
calling for over $4,000 for the season
before him and asked him to sign.
You can imagine manager Dillon's
surprise when he demanded that
the contract also include the few
dollars he had paid for his fare into
Los Angeles. For the sake of S. or
So, he was taking a risk on losing a
contract calling for over $3.50 a
month.
