BOXING SEASON OFFICIALLY
OPENS AT NATIONAL TONIGHT
By LOUIS II. JAFFE

TT1HE official opening Of the 1851 box
L ing season in Philadelphia will occur to-
night. when Jack Blackburn meets Young
Ahearn in the wind-up Of an all-star show
at the National A. c. While the fstic game
has not been dormant this summer, owing
TO the activities Of the smaller clubs, none
Of the top-notchers has appeared and the
fans have been anxiously waiting to get
another look at the much-a h-advertised boxers
they have been reading about. Bouts OF
color-whte VS.. white and white VS.. black
will be the feature.
Blackburn is veteran in the flstic
game, and il will be remembered that he
boxed a lightwe: :ght. heavyweight and mid
dleweiglt in three bouts staged in a month
Blackburn met George Memsic at 1873
pounds and followed up with matches
against John Willie. Chicago heavy, and
Jack o'Brien, at 1853 pounds.
With the middieweight division in
muddled predicament, no definite champion
being at the head OF the class both Black
burn and Ahearn are anxious to place
themselves near the top. Science Is the
best forte of their respective attacks, and
il will be matter of whichever happens
to be the faster to romp off with the laurels
1t should be good exhibition in the hit
and-get-away style of fstlcutfs and real
cleverness will predomlnate
The semihnal will bring together two
OF the oldest boxers in the world, both
gem'men of color. The Kentucky Rose
bud, who has passed the half century
milestone. and John Henry johnson. who is
but year so from the SO mark will
mingle for Lombard Boulevard prestige.
They have met three times in the last year.
In their last contest the Bud scored one
of the cleanest knockouts ever witnessed
in Philadelphia ring. He swung a left
hook. wrist deep. into John Henry's belly
and crossed a right-hand punch to the chin
sending Johnson to the mat for the fatal
ten toll

Non Est Paralysis
A visit to Huntingdon Valley this week
brought a snort of protest over an article
appearing in contemp, to the effect that
the club was In the grip of infantie paraly-
sis and that the quarantine had almost
cleaned out its caddy supply. 1t was stated
that the club had scarcely been affected by
the quarantine and that Sunday and the
other days this week there were plenty Of
caddies at the club Nearly all the boys
live close to the club.
Speaking of infantile paralysis, raw oat-
meal and uncooked cantaloupe, Norman
MacBean, still in his teens, had a healthy
Old York Road in four-ball match, ac-
cording to a member of the club.
Common rumor gives MacBean a 40 for
the first half and remarkable "a for
the last nine.
The championship of the club would un-
doubtedly be chiefly contested by Norman
MacBean or his brother John this year
only for the fact that neither expects to
play in it owing to the stress of scholastic
work.

HUGHEY AND TYRUS
SAY FAREWELL TO

Nabors or Sheehan to Work
in Tigers Final Game
at Shibe Park

Hughey and Ty will say good-by to
Shibe Park and the Quaker City fans for
the season at the conclusion Of the skirmish
with the Athletics this afternoon. This
pair have tried to make 1t as comfortable
as possible for Connie and his clan, and
came here bent on making II four in a row,
but Connie and Joe Bush crossed them yes
terday and nosed out victory by the
closest possible margin. The Tigers could
not score: the MaclSmen counted once, and
this was sufficient to set back temporarily
the Jungaleers
AS this will be the last appearance of
the well-known pair and their comrades,
Connie hopes to give them most impressive
farewell. He has used up his two big guns
and must depend upon inferior pitching
ammunition In the concluding contest He
has Sheehan and Nabors and If the latter
could just remember that the regulation
game was one of nine innings instead of
five or six, he might be able to run in more
victories. Lanky Jack Is one of the best
fve-lnnings pitchers in the league. but be-
yond that distance he weakens and departs
TO the bench by request
Sheehan has twirled a number of good
games against Detroit. and it given a trial
today is likely to show some of the form
that made him so effective against Hughey's
tribe last season.

2-2 draw. Weilman went the entire route for
Jones.

least another two weeks. Donovan made this
