FeIdman Team Is
Lucky to Score

Wednesday night on the high school
floor, the high Tigers barely won
from the Fel6man team. The score
was only 76 to IA. During the first
half Feldman failed to score, while
the Tigers ran something over so.
1t must be said to the credit of the
Feldman boys that the size of the
score never dismayed them and they
played the game to n finish. The
trouble was that they were outclassed
and playing on floor with which the
Tigers naturally are very familiar.
The highs have scheduled a game
with Walk Saturday night, which
closes their season. Walk is practice
ing hard and say they will defeat the
Tigers.

One Of the most slaring exam
pies OF mismanagement was that Of
Eddie Hanlon. the Frisco lightweight
That kid started fighting at the

at. He just busted through the ANA
teur ranks the way a Mauser bullet
would rip through a bale Of cream
cheese. Nothing Of his weight could
stand before him He even fought
frankie Neil and Abe Attel at that
time but his battle with Atteu was
a draw.
After slashing his way through
the second raters, he was matched
with Kid McFadden, who at that time
was about going to seed. Eddie won
with ease and his manager looked up
in the lightweight tree for the best
there was.
Benny Yanger was brought out and
Hanlon beat him. He was then
matched with Young Corbett. at that
time the Cock of the walk" They
fought a draw. but in the return bat
tie Hanlon took an unmerciful beat

Battling Nelson also stopped Han
lon and all but ended his bright
career. This all happened. mind you
while the kid was about II years
Of age.
Hanlon fought many times after
the Nelson fight, but he was never
the same vicious, ripping little tiger
that he had been.

We have only about seven hundred
men here now as they have shipped

get complete control they vii, not
get any more men in here.
This morning every one hated to
get up for breakfast as 1t was pretty
cool and so there was only about
twenty five that ate breakfast, and
now they wished they had gotten UP
and eaten something.
