Cost is High
As everyone knows, It generally
costs more to maintain a pennant
winning team, than It does to keep up
a club that finishes second, third or
fourth Therefore if a clubowner can
hold down his pay roll and still figure
in a division OF the spells he will be
in line to show almost as great a
profit at the end OF the season as is
the pennant winning club owner.

Following the same trend OF
thought, it must be realized that the
payroll of a pennant winner invar-

The players whose contracts expire,

fair that the pennant winners should

JOHN L. WAS THE GREAT

GOAT GETTER OF BOXING
The profession Of pugilism has pro-

among them all John l. Sullivan

equal Most men were whipped the
minute they crawled into the ring
with John l. The ferocious CLEAN

which sounded like the snort of an

Of his antagonists, and turned their
blood to water. This quality was
LIS fight with Patsy Cardiff. which
took place at Minneapolis 81 years
ago tomorrow. Cardiff was a mas
ter Of the pugilistic art, but he was
lacking in brute courage. Sullivan
broke the radius Of his left arm early
in the conflict, and was at Cardiffs
mercy. but the latter lacked the
nerve to follow up his advantage.
John L gloWed at Patsy so fero-
such a baleful eye, that poor Cardiff
was actually hypnotized. The bout
went six rounds to a draw There
were only two men who ever called
Sullivans bluff, and who refused to
be bullied into submission. The first
was Charley Mitchell, the English
boxer. They met In Madison Square
Garden in 1884, and although the
Britisher was q much smaller man
than the Irish-American, he treated
John L with supreme disdain- The
police interfered in the third round
and IL was not until 1883 that Mitch
ell and Sullivan fought again, in
Chantilly, France. Again the Eng
lishman refused To he hluffed- and

fury but the 1.-THE and speedy Cali

failed utterly in this crisis, and John
l. became exchampion. The only re-
cent boxer who approached John L
as a goat getter was Kid Mccoy, the
former middleweight champion. The
Hoosier did not roar or below. His
face always wore a sneer of contempt
or disdain- In a low, smooth voice
he goaded his opponents with cut
ting, sarcastic remarks, and then,
when anger had robbed them OF
reason, sent in the sleep punch.
