St. Louis, Jan. 30.-The St. Louis Browns have several claims to fame, and one of them is the fact that they have in their midst the real strike put king. He is Gus Williams the
 hard hitting outfielder declared by Manager Hickey to be one of the real stars of the game. Gus went to bat 499 times last season and he famed 12O times, nearly one-fourth of his trips to the plate resulting in his pounding the air. To understand just how great this exploit is one should know that the next highest in the list of strikeout performers ammased only seventy-three. He was Roger Peck inpaugh of the Yankees, and to get this number he had to go to bat 570 times. Really the second man on the list was Gus Williams teammate,

TO-DAY IN PUGILISTIC ANNALS,

1S97-Jimmy Barry and Sammy Kelly fought 20-round draw at New York. The bout was for the ban tamweight championship of America which had been held by Barry, a Chi cago lad. since 1894. After this bout Barry went to England and fought Walter Croot in London for the worlds bantam championship. Croot was knocked out and died - little later, but the American was ac- quilted of responsibility for his, death. Besides Kelly, Barry fought draws with Young Corbett, George Siddons Casper Leon and others. but retired without having been defeated in 1899. Terry McGovern then claimed the bantam honors, and was matched with Sammy Kelly, and knocked him out in the fifth round.
 1899-Terry McGovern knocked out Caspar Leon in twelfth round at Brooklyn.
 1900--Dave Sullivan defeated Jack Hamilton in twenty-five rounds at Troy, N. Y.
 1902-Tommy Ryan knocked out George Green C'Young Corbett') in seventh round at Kansas City.

Clarence Walker. He struck out seventytwo times in 517 trips to the
 plate. Thus the Browns have the
 two best, or worst, strikers out in the business But in spite of his high strikeout record Williams was valuable batter. He made 126 hits for an average of .253. He made fourteen sacrifice hits, got thirty-six bases on balls and stole thrty-fve bases. He was a timely batter forty five of his hits bringing in runners and ten of his sacrifices, eight being flies, sending men across the home plate In this respect he was bet ter than the great Ty Cobb, who made only two sacrifice flies and three in- field outs that scored runners. Will Hams takes a free swing at the ball and either misses it or knocks it a long distance.
