BACK OF NECK is VITAL
PART OF STEVE'S BODY

II Mickey McMimm had stood
perfectly still, Marty Foley might
have hit him. But Mickey is a
shifty boxer. and Foley was afraid
to get near him. As result,
Foley was biting the empty air
most of the time during four
rounds. McMimm used an Abe
Attell crouch and showed perfect
form. A draw was given, al
though the fans believed that
McMimm should have received a
decision.
Big Crowd
Steve Pollack and Bud Ridley
put up a clever bout, both boys
ready and willing at all times. 1t
was draw.
The smoker was staged with all
the speed and promptness that
marks the Eagles shows. An i'm

ed that the Eagles would give an

ing. The boys were perfectly
matched, and both showed an in
side knowledge of the game that
is seldom seen In this corner of
the map. Vaise was not quite up
to his usual aggressive form. and
disappointed his friends by clinch-
ing frequently. Casey gave the
French Canadian lots Of punish
ment in the last part of the bout.
The audience believed Harry
should have received a decision.
Cheerful, Anyway.
"He comes up smiling" should
have been the title of the Casey
Ferguson bout. The
Seattle boxer was outclassed by
Jones, but although the South Ia
conan persisted in battering him
up, Billy never lost his smile. In
the third round Ferguson went
down for the count, after receiv-
ing a cross to the base Of the neck.
He was still smiling cheerfully
when 10 woke up.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. II. =
Bill" Lange, former marvellous
Chicago Cub center fielder, is
running the bases of finance and
covering the social gardens here
abouts in much the same fashion
as when rated great among the
mighty in baseball.
Manager of four big estates
and rated as wealthy, William
LANCE dwells in handsome
apartment at the st. Francis ho-
tel, ultra fashionable hosiery of
the Pacific coast. 1t necessitates
a lot of money to abide at the st.
Francis for more than couple OF
hours.
Forty-five years of age, Lange
is a remarkable specimen physi-
cally. Well over six feet in
height, broad of shoulder, with a
waist like dancing master, the
former famous Cub Is perfect
fit" in the most exclusive cloth
and cut of the hour. Speaking of
dancing, that's where LANCE
shines. Question Bill as to how
he retains the old army SYM
metry and he answers:
Dancing. l like to dance a
lot. It's great exercise"
In 1900 LANCE quit the Cubs.
He had Joined that club in the
year of the Chicago Worlds Fair.
Before he severed his baseball re-
lations he had acquired a reputa-
ton as probably the best all
around outfielder, baserunner and
batter in the business.
LANCE cut baseball because of
his marriage. Himself a native
of San Francisco, Lange's wife
also was Californian from a
family socially and financially
prominent here. A separation
occurred a few years ago and
LANCE has not remarked.
Entering business with his IA
ther-in-law when he left the dia-
mond, Lange has become engaged
in handling estates. Insurance
enters into his business.
This famous former star of the
diamond evidently knew what he
was doing when he refused an Of
fer of $500 a season to return to
the game. At a glance he appears
the shrewd, upto date and typical
ly American business man.
The energy and skill he display
ed for the Cubs have been inject
ed into other lines, and we have:

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. IT. -
There was great interest among
baseball men today in the action
of the minor league board in
adopting a resolution which would
abolish the drafting rule. The
resolution would stop drafting
from the American Association,
International league and the Pa
cific Coast league.
Should the move be adopted by
the majors, the three minors in
question will be elevated to the
rank of major leagues.
1t has been suggested that the
American Association, the Inter-
national and the Pacific Coast
leagues play an elimination series
at the end of their season.

A downward slice to the back
Of the neck Is a more effective
blow on Steve Reynolds, Seattle
fireman and light heavyweight I'M
pressaria than a hook to the ear
or a chope to the Jaw.
Frank Farmer learned this to
his immense surprise when, in
the second round of his battle with
the blonde Seattleite at Eagles
hall last night, he biffed Reynolds
at the base of the brain. Seattle's
pride dropped as though he had
been felled by an aeroplane bomb.
1--WE got yuh, Steve" murmur-
ed Farmer, none too sympatheti-
cally.
And when the fire laddie floun-
dered to his feet, WOODY but will
ing, Farmer made them woids
good.
Oh, That Necki
Frank would box with Steve for
q moment or two, and then come
down on the back Of the fireman's
neck. 1t was like hitting a bulls
eye. Every time Farmer hit the
neck, Steve dropped. And every
time that he dropped, he chung
tightly to the canvas until Referee
Shock had tolled off the count Of
mine.
The Seattle man went down
twice In the second round. In the
third round ne was Just arising
after taking the count Of nine for
the fourth time, when the gong
saved him. Five more dives to
the mat for Steve In the fourth
round and the referee counted him
out.
Although 1t wasn't much of a
match, Farmer showed remarkable
superiority over the much-touted
Seattle boxer.
Earl Looked Good.
Earl Corners of Tacoma and
Bert Forbes Of Vancouver, B. c.,
put up the best bout on the card.
Although It was a draw decision,
many thought Corners entitled to
3 shade. Earl was In the best
condition we ever saw him. He
rushed Forbes and followed up
his rushes with unerring lefts and
rights. The Vancouver boy is a
good boxer, and although he was
rushed off his feet in the early
stages of the battle, he held Earl
even through the last two rounds.
From purely scientific stand
point, the bout between Frenchy
vaise of Renton and Harry Casey
Of Seattle was the best of the even
