Heard at the Sign
Of the Cauliflower
By w. o. MCCLELLAN

The guinea pig is an inoffensive ami
NAL. evidently designed by nature to
be inoculsted with assorted germs and
to be cut into little slices for the edi-
fcation Of the scientists. The guinea
pig is said to be a very useful animal
for those purposes.
Pugilism mas its guinea pigs. Jack
Cover. who was knocked out -techni-
cslly-the other night by Jim Coifey,
the Roscommon Giant, is one Of them.
The Grewsome and Cory Geyer was
tossed into the ring with the notion of
boosting the stock of Coffey. which had
deprecated since Jim was twice kerr
fummixed by Frank Moran. Geyer was
imported from the wilds Of Denver for
the sole purpose Of testing CoiFey's
rirht-hand wallop with his jaw.
He took the wallop. got his money
ard departed.
The best known guinea pig Of pugil-
ism is Arthur Pelky. The Peculiarly
Painful PelKy TO keep up the ALTER
alive style so dear 10 the heart of the
fight prOmoter-was the guinea pig for
Willard. Coifey and the Ferocious and
Formidable Fred Fulton.
Once upon a time rising young
heavyweight would say as claim 20
recognition. Il have knocked out Ar
thur Pelkyi"
At present the assertion carries lit
tie weight.
II there is a heavyweight anywhere
who has not knocked out Arthur Felky
sc some time in his career il is be-
cause he has not been matched with
MIN. Arthur mas been inoculated with
more right-crosses and chopped up with
more left jabs than any guinea pig in
the game.
When the Peculiarly Painful Pelky
was good guinea pig they brought
him here 90 demonstrate Cofey's right
hand wallop
Cofey had been only little while
away from the front platform OF q
trolley car lie had 20 be shown. The
Pelky experiment lasted three rounds.
Then old Jack Twin Sullivan. once a
fighter. but subsequently relega,ed 70
the guinea pig class, was brought over
for COfey 20 yivisect.
you've got 20 have this sort OF
matches" screams the promoter
You've got to build fighter up to
make him card"
But IL seems 10 Us that Cofey should
have learned his trade by this time.

NEW YORK HAS
A GOOD CHANCE
In BOSTON RUN
Roth, of Mohawk A. c.,
Heads Group of 5 Start
erS from His Club.

The possibilities are more than
bright for the local entrants 20 win the
honors in the Ashland to Boston
American championship Marathon run
of the Boston Athletic Association on
Wednesday. Twelve men will make up
the Greater New York group. and more
than half Of them have shown the grip
and stamina TO cover the distance IN

Bronx County Marathon on Washing
toms Birthday. heads group of five
starters from the Mohawk Athletic
Club. These men earned the trip by
their splendid performances in the
abovc-named event.

make the journey The runners have
been preparing for the important race
under the guidance of Jack Lagas and
Emil Won Filing, the coach.
Hans Schuster, K. VicN5trom and o.
jameson will represent the Swedish
American Athletic Club. Schuster's
ability 10 cover the long distance IS
well known on both sides of the Allan
tic. In the Brockton run last August,
Schuster established new records for
the trail up to twenty yards. He

Charles Pores and Willie Kyronen,
will carry the colOrs Of the Nillrose
Athletic Association. IL will be the
first effort Of little Kyronen at the dis
lance. but Melvin " Sheppard. the
coach, is optimistic OF his chances 20
lead the field home. Pores has com
petcd In several Of the long races, and
In a sixteen-milo trial spin this week,
he finished as fresh as the proverbal
daisy. Kyronen also is in splendid con-
dltion.

He seems 10 possess an unbounded
amount of the qualities that are re-

experiences in the past will be OF con-
siderable aid TO him

was the thirteenth /. 4iO yards long Hagen droy.

his two-bit piece at the gate and ielt
that he had right to express himself.
"He seems averse 70 being punched on

Indeed. that was true. Whenever

Frederick pulled his porch" away.
However. this is not such a gricvous

After sparring four two-minute

Doesn't Look Dangerous.
As yet Frederick does not look like
a menace TO Willard The champion
has everything on him so far
We recall Willard's little stunt OF
letting heavy medicine ball bounce
from his abdomen. Frederick cannot
do this
Nor has Frederick the instructive de-
fence Of willard. The gymnasium feats
Of the Joculsr and Jubilant Jess were
much more astounding.
Beaming and Bullful Benny Rosen-
thai remarked cheerily:
But Willard looked a whole lot
worse than that when he started in
That gives one the cue 20 the en-
trance Of the FerOciOus and Formidable
Frederick into the glare OF the cal
cium. Because Willard was once very
bad indeed. promising and progressive
promoters all over the world are accus-
Ing every diversified man Of being a
heavyweight and having willard posi-
bilities.
Fred Is No Crouch
Frederick is pleasant and prepos-
ressing lad, with d quiet confidence IN
his wallops. He is an afable host az
the 2O-cent afternoon receptions. ana
chats pleasantly with the paid-up
guests. To visitors like Diamond Tooth
Johnny Howard, who crush the gate,
his manner is rather cool and distant.
But. like Willard. the Ferocious and
Formidable Frederick is the least bit
difiident

Also that both men are AS nj ~ nd

More important from the promoter 5
point Of view is the fact that the con-
fdcucs Of the man who pays At the gate
IS also shattered.
Why cant promoter be darlngly
original and honest? Let one Of them
send out a notice to this effect:

this:

II may be ethically right to use the
