OH, WELL, ANYWAY

Mike McNulty. manager of Roy
Moore, again has a word to say. His
letter follows:
Sporting Editor.-Dear Sir: Tommy
Walsh. manager of Pal Moore, is a
very busy manager, telling about the
| wonderful record of Sc fights. Admit
! ting that Pal Moore has wonderful
record, his record is not to be COM
pared with the Little Harp's record.
| Roy Moore Roy Moore has had 161
matches and in that number Of con-
tests has lost but two decisions, one
to New Orleans Pete Herman at New
Orleans in q 15-round match. The
majority of New Orleans papers
agreed that the worst Moore should
have had was a draw; the other decis-
ion was lost to Pal Moore in an eight
round match at Memphis, Moore's
home town. and there were some
doubts about that decision. In Pal
Moore's record Eddie Coulin is cred
tied with win; Roy Moore boxed
Eddie Coulon Is rounds at New Or
leans, but Coulon was lucky boy to
last the Is rounds. Roy was goven the
decision in that match.
Moore has boxed 43 20-round
matches, Is 15-round matches; the
balance Of his fights was six and 10
round matches, so Pal Moore's record
Of 8" fights does not brighten the
Little Harp.
Am glad that the match is to be held
in a neutral town, as both boys will
get sqaure deal, and the best man
| will win, and that man will be Roy
Moore.
Johnny Donahue of Rock Island,
! who is training here with Moore and
Ray Kid Johnson, has sure been max
| ing great hit here in his work out
He has made big following up this
way. All those who have seen him
work call him the second Billy Miske,
as little Donahue resembles Miske
enough in looks to be a brother. Dom
ahue has improved wonderfully in his
boxing, and boxing fans will see a
much improved boy when he meets
Andy Dams Thursday night

those duels with Walter Johnson. as
he will be in the National league.
The Cleveland club will again send
Pitcher Penner to the Pacific Coast
league for needed experience. Man

Branch Hickey of the Cardinals re-
CARDS Joe Dugan of the Mackmen as
an usually promising player. Hickey
is strong for the college player and
he had lines out for Dugan when Con-
ME Mack stepped in and signed him.
Business Manager Bobby Quinn of
the st. Louis Browns, says that he has
two more deals under way and an an
nouncement may be expected within
the next few days. Quinn believes that
a general shakeup will be big thing
for the Browns.
1t is predicted by the PHILADELPHIA
critics that Ping Bodie will be used
a. first base by Manager Mack. With
Strunk gone and all the veteran pitch
ers missing it is figured that Bodie
would run himself to death trying to
cover an outfield position.
The Cincinnati Reds are expected to
pick up few pointers in base running
by watching Tyrus Cobb closely dur
ing the spring series between the
Reds and Tigers. A Cincinnati scribe
has figured that the Reds would have
much greater total of stolen bases
each season if the players knew how
to utilize their speed properly.
