The only time the new heavyweight champion has donned the gloves since his triumph over Jack John son has been during stage exhibi- tions.

 Bender. the former star of the Athletics. is finding the going hard in the Federal league, having been clouted hard in every game he has started so far for the knabe team. The Indian is no longer a youngster and it is just possible that he is slowing up with the work of other years on his shoulders. Bender never was an early starter and it is more than likely that when the heated term comes around he will be found at his usual occupation of rolling up victories for his team.
 Walter Johnson is having streak of hard luck for so early in the sea son. having lost three cut of fou! starts The great pitcher never twi.ied better ball in his career than in the above games. but his team mates have been unable to score a run for him. The speed marvel is just as good this season as ever before and even in defeat he is still in the front rank of the few really great pitchers of the present. Any pitcher that can hold the opposing clubs 10 seven runs in four games and still lose three Of the contests must be put in the class of hard luck twirlers

greatest tennis player, is planning for next winter an international in door tennis tournament. to be play ed in the new s1,000.000 municipal auditorium in Oakland. Calif. Mclaughlin, who lives in Oakland, keeps in practice all the year round During two months when the rains come. he finds difficulty in getting practice. and has been looking for suitable place to put up winter courts.
 The auditorium, recently opened, and in which 100 conventions will be held this summer. is. according Mclaughlin an ideal place for win ter tennis The floor is of maple, and with a canvas covering would make swift court. The floor in the arena is 314 by 90 feet. giving plenty of room for laying out the court.

 hope to see one in Oakland next winter said Mclaughlin recently, T have been in correspondence with a number of the best men in the game and a majority of them agree with me that such an event would not only be novelty but success ful venture. The court would be faster than an outdoor court, and tennis records would be made that would set a standard for long time to come. Oakland's warm weather would make the conditions practically ideal"
 Mclaughlin has taken the matter up with the Oakland City officials and has been assured that there will be no objection to the use of the auditorium for such a purpose. Few Succeed.
 For every college twirler that has made good in the big leagues a score Ci IllOIt, all "Il4 of the best. have failed.
 Today in the National, American and Federal leagues there are only three pitchers who stepped from college fields into the big show and made good without al least having been sent to the minors for a sea: soning.
 These three men are Collins, Coombs. and Plank. Collins did such good work with Vermont that the Red Sox signed him. and. from the first. he held his own in top notch company.
 Coombs' work with Colby attract ed the attention of Connie Mack and he wore an Athletics uniform for many years. although now with the now of the St. Louis Federals, was also a Connie Mack find, being se- cured from Gettysburg college back in 1902.
 There are, of course, many other college men pitching ball in the ma jor leagues, but they have more or less time in the minors behind them Among this class, among others, is Christy Matthewson. who knocked around quite bit after leaving Ruckneu before becoming a fixture with the Giants and George Davis, of the Braves. who performed brilliantly for Williams College, putting in year al Jersey City be- fore Stallings acquired him for the worlds champions.-EX.

About 20 tons are being brought in every day. l. was hoped that there would be other mining properties preparing for work by this time, but, while prep aratiCns are rapidly assuming shape, there has been no actual work ex- cept in the one mentioned.

The deliberations Of New Works new Boxing Commission are the cause Of much speculation. As soon as the new commissioners get their bearings fl is confidently believed that they will rescind the old rule prohibiting referees decisions in that state. Apart from the fear that decisions will leave scandal in their wake, there is the effect that they will have on the various boxing titles 10 be considered. By permit ting referees to pick winners offici- ally the commissioners will furnish the public with a novelty. even though the practice is stopped later.

JIMMY ARCHERHAS
 NOT COMEBACK IN
 CATCHINGSKulL YET

Is Tirnuy ASrcsaer catching sbelow his standard or issa jinx on hisF track?
 At the start of the National league season Manager Bresnahan used him regularly behind the plate, conferring that honor upon him because of his long association win the Cubs When he was forced eout of the4 game through an injury and later res4med his du- ties Bresnahan decided to alternate with him in the backstnpping. This system was started early in May, and since that time Archer's playing has not appeared as hashy astf in he past. What the cause is = ir hard to say There is something wrong somewhere, for the Cubs have not been as suc- acessfuIs as when fhe manager received { In baseball there is suchsa a thing as pitcheEs getting better results with a certain catcher behind the plate In tsanees have been known where tWirl- CTS have asked to be permitted to work with certain man. Yet this does not seem to be the trouble on the West Side. Archer has caught the Cub slabmen for years, and has been in many winning games He has been successful and unsuccessful with them this season, bat since he began dfvid- ing his work. with the manager the club does not seem to get the results when he is receiving.
 s It may no&sbe Archer fault that the Cubs do not win when he is wearing
 
 may be at fault. There are two sides to the argument. One is that Archer does not have them use their .asSort- ment the way Bresnahan does against certain hitters and the oEher is that the pitchers do not try as strenueI1sly wtth him as they do when the man ager is behind the plata.
 One thing iss certain, and that is that Archer is not& going back. His throw ing has been up to his standard; in fact, 1t is the &beIief that he does too much of it for th1s own good No one to nip runners. off the bases or for forcing them to hug the bases, but 1t has been seen this year that he has been making throws unnecessarily, although they have not cost the club anything.
 It. has also been observed that the Cubs show more fight and seemingly take more interest in their work on the cid when {Bresnaaan is catching This may also be the cause of their winning while Roger is in action Bresnahan does not appear to have base runners have stolen only two bases on him in 13 games, while he i has caught six of them stealing His arm is so strong they are not running < wild on him as they did last year and ' the season before.
 The Cub manager does not want to take the responsibility on himself of lscatching every day, although he is the commander. Archer is too great a l catcher and too high saIaried to be E sitting on the bench. He requires the i owrd1 the same as does any one else ] and give satisfactory account of himself to the club and fans, who rec ognize him as one of the worlds lead ing backstops.

 OF RING BATTLES

17s7-Tom Johnson defeated Bill Warr for championship of England at Oakingham, Eng. By this victory Johnson, whose real name was Thom- as Jack1ing, was recognized as Eng lands greatest fighting man, and ac- claimed as the bruiser who had res cued the sport from the mire into which it had ben trampIed by his un- scrupulous predecessors. The low CTS of boxing owe a debt of gratitude to Johnson, for the game was out lawed and practically dead when Johnson came to the front and by his great ability and manly behavior aroused new interest in the sport. Tom Johnson's most famous battle was that with the Birmingham Giant, Isaac Perrins. which went 62 rounds before Johnson was declared the vic tor. In 1791 Johnson lost the title to Ben Brain, and never entered the ring again. In his latter years he was a boxing teacher in Cork, where he died in 1797,. six years after his contest with Brain.
