can settle our little "to make
It interestings' and pay attention TO
business again.
r ED S0X certainly went by the
dope in the worlds series. For
once, Hugh Fullerton picked not only
a winner but also the number of
games He can now be taken out
of the 'jinx" class and Jim Corbett
is alone as the champion wrong
gueSser-
AID W0LGAST must be pretty
well all in. He was beaten in
San Diego, Calf, by Battling Nick"
whom one paper terms "the bummest
fighter that ever horned into a main
event in southern California" VOL
CASTS days IN the ring are gone but,
like Bat" Nelson, it takes him
long time to find IT out. Promoters
are largely to blame for thew will
take chance on the drawing powers
Of a former champion against
never was TO line their own
pockets. WoIgsst's bouts" never do
the game any good. So far, none
Of the southwestern promoters has
been foolish enough to bring him TO
this part of the country and it Is
hoped that none will.
a BE ATTELL Is another former
champion who doesn't know
when he's had enough. Joe Lynch.
New York youngster, stopped
Monte Attell couple of weeks ago
IN New York and now brother Abe
has prevailed upon a promoter to
give him a chance against Lynch.
Abe has quit the ring several times
but he simply won't stay quit.
brooklyn fans with an eye TO
publicity sure got in the lime
Light on Wednesday 1t will be re-
membered that the Dodgers won
Tuesdays game. These publicity
seeking fans came out with offers Of
from $4,000 to $4,000 for the Brook
Ign players If they won the big
series Of course they knew that
the Dodgers didn't have 4 chance but
it listened good to the folks at home
and now the generous" fans are
basking in the sunlight
TOM JONES is now telling Califor-
MIA fight fans that Fred Fulton is
a really dangerous opponent for less
Willard; that Fulton is the only
man who stands a chance against the
champion and that Willard will
seriously consider a chance to box
Fulton about Thanksgiving. Evi-
IDENTIFY Toms bsnkroll must be get
ting slim.
MEMBERS Of the Baseball Writ
ers' association had some fun of
their own in the worlds series. So
many stars of the diamond were
reporting" the big series that presi-
dent Joe Jackson, of the B. W. A.,
named the following team from the
reporters: Cobb, CT; Lee Magee,
If; Sherwood Magee, IF; Hal Chase,
ID; Charley Herzog, 2b; Maranville,
IS; Red Smith, Sd; Hank GOwdy, C;
G. c. Alexander, p. Jackson says
that he is perfectly willing to play
his team Of star baseball writers
against the new worlds champions.
EFT US forget the worlds series
for time and pay attention to
the big series which Is scheduled to
open at Rio Grande park on Satur-
day afternoon between the all-star
teams picked by Joe Gardner of
Dallas and DOC" McCsmant Of this
city. Should the rain prevent the
game on Saturday, the fans may
rest easy for Dr.. McCamant states
that the round trip tickets of the
Dallas players permit them TO stay
here 80 days If necessary, and the
teams will stay here until 10 games
are played. The diamond was a bit
heavy on Friday morning but there
are hope Of Saturday game If the
sun comes out this afternoon.
FOOTBALL fans should see a good
game at the high school stadium
on Saturday afternoon when the
Tiger seconds will meet the team
from the Ohio hospital corps.
