A wheeze in this column several
days ago which stated that Sioux City
expects to have a full team of 300
hitters this season seems to have
caused some discussion. However, rs
was stated recently, it is not always
the heaviest hitting team that wins
the pennant.

Moines did not lead the Western
league in hitting last season, nor did
many of the other championship clubs.
Philadelphia was fifth in club bat
ting in the National league last sea-

Champion Red Sox were only second
in club batting in the American league.
In the South Atlantic league Albany
led in club batting and was in the
second division at the close of the sea-
son. And in the Pacific Coast league
San Francisco won the pennant with a
club batting average considerably un-
der that of Salt Lake City.
However, in every one Of the leagues
mentioned above a glance at the pitch

some kind of corner on the best

Wrestling Bout Bill.
Billings Hopes to Win Title
From Tommy Doctor.

DIR. F. H. Beaumont, of Burton,
Kan. the man who has been engaged
by the Topeka Moose to stage their big
W resting show at the Grand theater
on St Patrick's day. was in the city
Sunday making final arrangements for
the affair, which is to be the biggest
mat performance held here in years,
prominent Moose say.
1.-The principal bout of the evening,
between Tommy Doctor and Jack
Billings. will be a real championship
affairs" DR.. Beaumont said. and it
should be a big drawing card. Doctor
is Undoubtedly the greatest welter-
weight grappler in the United States,
Billings appears to be the only man
who has a chance to take his title
away from him.
Second Meeting.
Doctor ad Billings have met once
before, and although. Billings was I'M
able to throw the champion, he stayed
with him something like an hour and
40 minutes. and ever since that time
he has claimed that he wanted only
one more chance in order to win the
title. And on March IT Topeka mat
fans will have an opportunity to watch
him make the best of this chance.
AS a curtain raiser to the big match,
bantamweight bout will be staged
between Dung" Hackenschmidt,
who has been holding fort in Hutch
inson this winter, and Hank" Felker,
the Topeka Moose lodge mascot and
one of the classiest little mat men in
the state Young Hackenschmidt
also claims the worlds championship
in his class and has documents to
prove his claim. He also has expert
opinion to show that he is a perfect
bantam specimen.
Weight Handicaps.
However, in as much as Hacken-
schmidt weighs only 112 pounds
against Felker's 12o local men think
the Topeka boy will be able to give him
a run for his money.
In addition to the wrestling matches.
the Moose have made arrangements
to bring a vaudeville troupe here all
the way from St. Louis to add to
the entertainment card. The troupe
is known as the Golden Gate Girls
and is said to have unique and at
tractive bill. The vaudeville stunts
will be staged between the two
matches and between falls.

NEW OKLAHOMA LEAGUE.
Promoters Meet at ArdmOre to Organ

Ardmore, Okla, March 6.-Repre-
sentatives of six cities in the southern
part of the state are for a meeting to
perfect the organization of a new
baseball circuit in this field. 1t was
assorted that it is planned to place
clubs in the league, to be known as
the southern Oklahoma baseball
league, in Durant. Madill, Marietta,
Ringing Writ and Ardmore.
Early discussion indicated that it
was contemplated that in the begin
ming, at least, only three games
weekly shall be played-on Fridays,
Saturdays and Sundays. 1t was as
serted further that it is probable, if
the organization is completed salts
factorily, that the season will begin
April IL.
While no definite announcement
was made, it was rumored here that
persons interested in the old Texas
Oklahoma league are behind the pro-
posed organization.

There is one thing I wish to say
about my bag punching and that is
am not a fancy puncher. None of the

a bag is to stay on it's rope so l can
get some work out of it. In addition
your blows have full swing while
punching the bag, you also are en-
abled to get the eye working faster.
For the old bag has the habit u
swinging back with some force and
you have to either wallop it or duck.
