CHARLESTON, $, G. March s.
AFTER two long days on the high seas.
"A tn" journey being monotonous because
of tho absence Of hostile submarines, eight
working employees Of the Philadelphia base
ball club accompanied by Manager Pat
Moran, Bill Shettslne and a quartet Of
scribes took shore leave in this city today
The players welcomed the chance TO stretch
their legs and added considerably to the
traffic on the crowded streets. only four
hours were spent here, but every moment
was taken up. The good ship Mohawk took
on some more freight and few passengers
and then departed for Jacksonville, where
she will dock some time tomorrow morning
The trip thus far has been uneventful
with only one social error chalked up
against the athletes Bill Eillefer was the
guilty pc 'son aud did all OF the suffering
in silence. Bill left his home in Pawpaw

While Philadelphia fans were praising

or rather the manager Muggsy Taylor, a
tempting offer for a match with Johnny
salvatore, and Tilman decided to romp
west once more. That's all. Just that one
bout. and then back TO Philly came Mr.
Tillman.
TN his last return here Tillman was
pitted against Johnny Dundee and Buck
Fleming and Johnny continued his bril-.

got.wind of the Minneapolist's impressive
work in the city they call SLEEPY Town"

one OF the toughest lghtweights in the
'game. was selected to cut short Tillman's
sensational splurSe. but he was defeated
decisively. Then Young Brown was treated

later. Another trip West followed. but only
as far as Columbus. O.. where Bryan
Downey. heralded as a great welterweig ght

Now Johnny Tilman. on the strength Of
his bouts in Philadelphia and New York. is
known to fistic fans wherever the game is
in evidence Tilman is satisfied The big
idea for Mr.. Tllman at the present time
is to pull on Benny Leonard his Pardon

Johnny will be in his glory.
