Glimpse this from a recent Issue
OF the Bulletin:
.Chet Mcintyre had the wrong
dope when he expressed the opin-
ion that Eddie Pinkman. the Sc
attic lightweight had become dis
couraged and quit the ring for
good. Pinkmsn u as good as
matched with Peter Mitchie at Sc

Chef was right.
THERE IS SOME TALK being
spilled down Frisco way OF Fat"
Iarue and Chef Mcintyre hooking.
Not in the ring. but in business
way.
II seems that Fat has been
losing so many fights TO dub pro
fessionaIs Of late that his friends
have become discouraged AZ ever
seeing him contender for the
HEAVYWEIGHT title. and hpve asked
him TO cast aside the boxing gloves
for good and all as means OF

oLD-TIMERS AMONG baseball
fans will remember with admira-
ton william O'Brien. poDuiarly
known as DARBY" who was as IA
nous as an outfielder In his day as
Ty Cobb is in this. O'Brien was
claimed BY the Great Reaper "a
years ago this month. He sue

DARBY" first gained fame as n
member OF the old New York Met
ropoIitan team. but II was with the
Brooklyn Nationals that he made
his greatest reputation. lie joined
the Dodgers in 1890. the year they
Joined the National league.
II was in this year that the Play
crs' league tried to break up organ
lied baseball.
O'Brien played left field for fhe
Dodgers. and led the club in bat
work, his average being .3li. He
continued TO star for several years
until death cut short his career.
Right here II might be well 10
mention few other stars OF
earlier days who rivaled the ac-
complishments OF Ty Cobb. There
was Liprnan Pike. OF Troy: Edward
Cuthbert, OF Philadelphia. Mart
King. Dave Egglor. Albert Godney.
a. J. Reach and Jim O'Tourke. all
OF whom were star performers I'm
the National association Of the
early 70's. the parent organization
OF the present National league.
Don't get the idea that We Of the
present day have a monopoly OF
stars. There were plenty OF them
in the old days. and they had TO
play a harder game, too
