TESREAU HAD HARD
TINE GETTING JOB
After Getting Fired Several Times,
Jeff Finally Lands With
Giants.

Few of the modern diamond stars
have had such a hard time breaking
into the game as big Jeff Tesreau, the
Giant twirler. Charles NJ, to give
him the name conferred upon him by
his parents. will be twentyseven this
week. He was born In March. 1889.
at Ironton, in the Ozark region of
Southern Missouri Jeff says he can't
remember a time when he was less
than six feet high. Early in life he
started out with the ambition to beat
the altitude record of the neighbor-
ing iron mountain. As a kid he played
on a team in his home town, but
when he was seventeen he was told
to beat 1t because he was too big and
clumsy. jeff went to Perryville, Mo.
and got a job In the lead mines. and
was afterward hired to twiri for the
local semi-pro club. A scout for the
Austin club of the Texas League
called JEFF to higher fields. but when
he landed In the Lone Star state he
found that Austin had dropped out
OF the circuit Tesreau then went on
to Houston. where he lasted only a
short time. the manager telling him
that he wasn't any good. and advising
him to go back to Missouri JEFF
stuck around, palying with Galveston.
San Antonio and Shreveport. In the
Louisiana city he began to make a
name for himself. and McGraw. after
seeing the Missouri Mammoth at
work, offered him a berth with the
Giants In 1911 McGraw sent jeff
to Toronto. but recalled him the fol-
lowing year. In 1912 Tesreau won
Sexeuteen and lost seven games, prov
ing conciusiveIy where ne belonged.

RED MURRAY. AFTER
BIG LEAGUE BERTH
Outaelder Refuses TO Go to Minors
and Is Given His
Release

John J. Murray---"Red Jack" we
call him in the social circles which
he has long adorned-will pass his
thirtieth milestone today. Jawn was
released by the Giants. after a SER
vice of nearly seven seasons, late In
the 1918 baseball year, and Joined the
Cubs. Tinker recently decided that
he didn't need Reds services, and
turned him over to Kansas City. That
didn't please Jack. who appealed to
President Tener. and was given an
unconditional release on the ground
that he had served ten years. MUIR
ray was a free agent on the same
basis when he left the McGrawites and
Joined the Bruins last year. He was
born in Arnot. Pa. He made quite
reputation as ball player at the
Lock Haven Normal, and was offered
a job at Corning, n. ~. later Joining
semi-pro club in Elmira- In those
days Jack was a hackstop. but at
Notre Dame University, where he
went to complete his education, he
developed into a star outfielder. and
in 1906 was signed by the st. Louis
Cardinals. After three seasons in the
Mound City. he Joined the Giants, and
under McGraw's handling he became
good, dependable man. although
never a sensation. Red believes that
he has lot of good baseball left in
his system. and with change of air
he may prove TO be correct in his
surmise.

While It was understood that com
mittee appointed by the Richmond
Amateur Federation had awarded the
championship of the Federation League
to Church Hill Athletic Club, IL was
learned last night from high official
of the organization that the matter
lis by no means closed.
Following an executive meeting Of
the committee last Tuesday afternoon
1t was stated that In view of the facts
before them they would doubtless
recommend to the executive commit
tee of the Federation the awarding OF
the pennant to CHURCH Hill. However
up to this time no report has been
made to the executive committee with
reference to the matter and the case
will not be considered definitely closed
until such action is taken. 1t was said
last night that since the meeting OF
the executive committee additional In
formation has fallen into the hands oil
the members, which may result in the
reversal of the situation.
Here are the facts In the case:
The Church Hill Athletic Club played

FREDDIE WELSH IS

How old is Freddie Welsh? The
vital statistics compiled by Sam Aus

pien was born in @Pontypridd, Wales,
In March. 1885 According to this,
Mr.. Frederick Hall Thomas-which
is his society name-is on the verge
of thirty. and will pass that mile
stone this week. Now comes a guy
who dispenses wisdom in one Of the
pink and passionate weekiies, assert
ing that Freddie SIS about thirty

reader will perhaps sleep none the
less soundly tonight because of his
Ignorance as to the true facts--it Is
certain that the Weishman has been
peddling punches in the British and
American hiff bazaars for something
like a dozen years. Now that Fred
die has consented to risk his title in
decision bout. we shall perhaps see
whether or not ase has withered his
INFINITE variety of clever ring tricks.
In spite of the hammer brigade,
Welsh Is certainly supreme in his
particular brand of fisticuffs, and you
have to hand 1t to him for develop
ing cieverness and ring science to a
point seldom attained by American
boxers. And IL he is fond OF Yankee
dollars. who among us shall heave

of the fans may accuse Rodel Of hav-
ing yellow streak. but every time
fought ififr-fie was as game as
they're made. When we called a halt
on the confab the clocks were strik-
ing noon. This was really the first
time the camp sat around and dis
cussed the plan Of battle from every
angle.
The usual stunts were gone through,
but in boxing the rounds were length
ened out minute. or so. The fact
that I only box six rounds now doesn't
worry me. even though many critics
declare that this work is not enough
to get me into shape. When I was
in the midst OF training for johnson
never boxed more than nine or ten
roonds. And when l started those
long grinds 1t was only a few weeks
before the contest.
