Pilot Christy Mathewson
Declares He viii Not
Part With Him.
By Tad

Cincinnati. O.. Jan 1s.-Back from
an extensive eastern trip. Christy
Nathewson promptly declared himself
as strongly in favor OF keeping sher-
wood Magee on the Reds.
"As near as can figure out" said
Matty, ''AIagee hit 1924 during the
time he was with the Cincinnati
club.
ANY man who can rap them that
way is too valuable to be dismissed
He can't be slowing mp TO any great
extent, when he can drive the ball
Tor that sort Of q percentage
I was surprised to hear that Ma
gee was to be let out, and viii confer
with Mr.. Hermann on the subject. OF
course, realize that we must trim
our sails and exercise economy next
season, but I don't think we ought
to let 60 OF Sherwood Magee."
The Red leader only smiled when
asked II he would go back to the fir
ing line next season. but didn't deny
that he might do so If It became abso-
lutely necessary to help out a short
handed team. He thinks well OF the
new material acquired by the club and
is rather optimistic about the 1913
prospects despite the war clouds.

CAME FIGHTERS
AREFAVORITES
Spirit of Boxer Can Be De-
termined by Manner in
Which He Wins or Loses.

New York. Jan. 19.-The best way
OF judging the gameness and sports
manship Of a fighter IS in the manner
he takes defeat
In the first place. no really game
man loses a battle in the ring On
deliberate foul. and 1t is a matter Of
record that most fouls in the ring are
deliberate, once in a great while a
boxer will foul his opponent unlnten-
tionally, and the spectators are quick
to Judge whether or not the foul was
meant
Game fighters are good sportsmen
pered in a glove battle they take their
medicine and do the best they can to
fight back fair. But they do not use
foul tactics. There are a good many
boxers who are Just naturally so
tough that a terrific beating has little
effect on them, but natural tOughness
and the ability to assimilate punish
ment does not always show gameness-
But the best proof OF a fighters
gameness can be found in his record
When you see the L F." sign at
tached to a bout by boxer you
can come pretty near guessing the
straight OF ii by putting that foul
down as a deliberate one
FOuling in the ring has been grow
ing common of late years compared
to what 1t used TO be- The records OF
the great masters Of the past contain
very few IL F. signs, for the great
men of other days in pugilism were
game to the core and good sportsmen
along with il.

EARL CADDOCK
CLAIMS TITLE
Iowa Wriggler Protests the
Giving of Belt to Polish
Athlete.

New York, Jan. 19.-Gene Malady.
of Omaha, who manages Earl Cad
dock, writes to explain that the
claimants of the heavyweight wres-
Ting crown are trying to take ad-
vantage Of his protege's enlistment in
the army.
Gene, Of course. insists that Cad
dock is the real title holder and does
not think that his inability to COM
pete frequently, because of his duties
as q soldier, should mitigate against
Earrs claims.
Aalady says that as soon as Cad
dock can secure a furlough he VIII
bring him TO New York to meet a
good man. He says he was pleased
with the reception accorded the SOL
der grappler on his flying visit to
the tournament at the Lexington
Avenue theater recently
Speaking of CaddOck's trip east q
few weeks ago. here is one angle to
it that has never before been pub
Iished. All the soldier star received
for coming east was expenses for
himself and manager
It seems that Caddock promised
Jack Curley to come east for the tour
nament. Then he found that he would
not be able to get away for any
length Of time. So he agreed to pay
a flying visit to New York and en-
gage in two matches that were viz
tually exhibitions.

ond night of play in the City league.

first victory Of the season for the
Miners and the second defeat of the

work Of the Miners was particularly
good during the latter part Of the
game, and after piling up a substan-
tial margin, they prevented the Walz
boys from increasing their score.
The Miners gave evidence Of having
increased their offensive strength also
since their appearance against the
High school Tigers one week ago,
while the WalZ boys seemed to be SUI
fering from a lack Of practice.
The lineups follow: Mines, Rhein-

Hoppe
It is true that Cochran five times
in eight days turned in runs Of bet
ter than 100 at 1872, but while this is
impressive, it must be remembered
that Cochran was playing "set-up"
matches, where he was doing most or
the shooting and consequently was
warm" Further, there was little at
stake
Cochran's greatest faults are his
Impotence and carelessness. If there
Is one thing that anyone may learn
from an analysis Of Hopes balkline
play II is that excruciating pains are
necessary for every billiard shot made
in a competitive match. It is in thai
quality, which requires unfailing self
control and almost phlegmatic meth
odicalness, that Hoppe excels.
