mouth team Bakers booting saved
the day for the. orange and black, al
though he was forced to use heavy
soggy ball on a wet field. upon which
rain fell intermittently.
As hockey player. Baker probably
has never been surpassed. After leav-
ing college he led club hockey team
which won every game it played, main-
ly through the efforts of Baker.
1t is certain he might have gained
other attaipments, IL rules at Prince
ton had not restricted the number of
major sports in which he was per-
mitted to compete. 1t is said he has
run 100 yards in 10 seconds in a foot
ball uniform and Princeton track men
were confident he would have tied the
worlds record for the event had he
ever gone in for track
Baker was the type of man who al
ways looked for new thrills. He had
not been out OF college long when he
learned to drive an airplane. When
America went to war he was among
the first to enlist for foreign service.
There is much in common between
Baker and that other Prihcetonian,
who gave his life for France, Johnny
Poe. Both were great athletes. both
were venturesome. When Baker "got
his Boche" he partly avenged the
death of Poe, who died in a charge
with the famous BLACK Watch"

WHILE IN JAIL
Joe Choynski Instructor to
Jack Johnson When Ne
gro Was Beginner.

Joe Choynski has one chapter in
life's history that has never received
the attention 1t deserves. An old
time New York boxing enthusiast tells
the story in the following manner:
"A few months after the Dan Cree
don-Herman Bernan affair Choynski
fioated down from Chicago to see Gal
weston, Tex. Jim Hall was there and
they boxed for the edification Of the
sports. Hall was in a bad way ply
sically and Choynski went very easy
with him. Then Choynski was asked
to meet a husky dark pusson who had
been boxing with all comers for 81 a
contest at the Galveston Athletic
Club. He looked easy and Choynski
consented.
The fight was harder than Choyn-
ski expected. The black was a tough
citizen, strong as a bull and with nat
ural ability. Choynski had to watch
his p's and q's at various times to
escape the powerful negro's well
meant efforts to settle the matter
with a punch. but finally science told
and Choynski put one over on the
black mans chin and that ended it,
or should have, but didn't.
Instead. Sheriff Henry, Thomas
stepped in the ring and notified
Choynsh that he, the black pusson
and all concerned were under arrest,
and a little later the black boxer and
the white boxer were In jail. They
remained in Jail for a month or two,
and. to relieve the tedium of the days,
Choynski gave boxing lessons to the
black he had knocked out.

STATE LEAGUE

Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Jan. 17-John II.
Farrell. president of the New York
State League, just back from the Gin
cinnati meeting, does not believe that
the minor baseball clubs will be put
out of business this year. He inti-
mates that an effort will be made to
open the State league. Farrell points
out that no meeting has BEEN called
in the State league, but he said there
is chance Of the State league and
many minor organizations opening as
in other years. He calls attention to
war conditions and says that it will
be possible for the minors to make a
start. II they go along a short time
and find that the war has taken the
edge on the sport, operations may be
suspended and the territorial rights
and rights to service of players will
be protected the same as ifIthe sea-

MOORE HOLDS
A new RECORD
Memphis Battler Travelled
Over 5000 Miles to Par
ticipate in Four Bouts.

Chicago. Jan. 1.-THE always inter-
esting Pal Moore-fighting or other
wise-appears to have hung up a
record recently that Is something uni
que In the annals OF boxing. at least
for a batam-weight of lis pounds.
Inside of thirty days this Memphis
Kid viii have laughed his way over
some 5000 miles of ground and during
that strenuous campaign put up four
battles. every one of them to a ref
eree's decision, aggregating in all
SINE hfty-four rounds.
Here is brief synopsis of what Pal
has done and is about to do:
Dec. 10-Boxed fifteen rounds in New
Orleans with Arthur simmons, won
the referees verdict; distance travel
ed. Chicago to New Orleans and re-
turn. 1000 miles.
Dec. 21-Boxed fifteen rounds with
Joe Lynch in Providence, r. l., lost
the decision, the first in his life. by
the way; distance Travelled, Chicago
TO Providence and return, 1000 miles.
Jan. I-Boxed fifteen rounds in TuI-
sa. Okla. with Earl PuryeaT. won the
decision; distance Travelled, Chicago
to Tulsa and return. 1900 miles.
Jan. 11-Matched for a return IS
round engagement with Joe Lynch In
Providence, RI, to a referees de-
eision; 1000 miles more to be covered.
This Is truly rmarkable. considering
the long jumps. the bad weather, the
difficulty Of training and all the rest
OF 1t. And reminder. too. that since
every one of the three fights was
strictly to a referees decision. Pal
couldn't loaf for a minute. could not
pamper himself in any way like the
average fighter can when he is box
ing merely no decision bouts, and had
TO be in the best shape every minute
OF the time.
Aoore's willingness to return to
Providence for a comeback match
with Lynch is a delightful indication
Of the kids cheerful disposition.
They gave the decision to Lynch in
the other fignt," Pal said the other
night. That's perfectly all right
with me: all I want is a chance to
show them that they were wrong"
Other boxers have taken long trips
OF great continuity but it is doubtful
II any bantam ever did anything like
II. II is said that Battling Nelson
one time, while with a burlesque
company. was 1SO days in a sleeping
car and then within a few days fought
n 45-round battle. That probably con-
stituted a record for travelling.
The peculiar part of the Moore feat
Is this. He is constantly complaining
that he hasn't had enough work and
wants to know why his manager does
not hook him up oftener with the
tough bantams.

DANFORTH HAS
FREAK RECORD
White Sox Hurler Plays One
Full Game, but Works
in Fifty.

Baseball records usually show a
number of unsuspected oddities. but
it is probable that there have been
none more extraordinary in many
years than in the pitching records
of the American League this year.
One record hung up by Danforth
of the White Sox, perhaps has new
er been equaIled and 1t is doubtful
if il will ever be touched.
Danforth led the league in the
number of games worked in. He
got into no less than SO box scores
during the year. a remarkable rec
ord foe a pitcher, but the records
show that he pitched only one COM
plete game. He is credited with IL
victories. which show he was sue
cessful as a relief twirler.
Ed Klepfer of Cleveland pitched
in Al games during the year but
did not pitch a complete game.
Klepfer was also one of the best
relief hurlers in the league.
Big Slim Love of New York
worked in only two complete games
out of a total of SO he took part in.
Cunningham of Detroit was in AZ
games and only pitchedstwo COM
plete.
On the other hand. Babe Ruth
proved to be the iron man of the
league. He pitched in So complete
games and was taken out only
three times during the season. His
team mates Mays and Leonard also
broke into the iron man column,

Michigan 1918 Eleven
May Play Without Leader

Ann Arbor. Mich. Jan. 17.-Michi-
gan's 1918 football eleven may agau,
be captainless. Tad Wieman, of Cali
fornia, who recently was elected, has
announced his intention of entering
the aviation corps. Wieman was
unanimously chosen for captain by
the eighteen letter men. Last year
Pat SmiNEef Bay City, was Chosen
captain, but when war came he Joined
the naval forces.
Wieman played only Rugby football
before he came to Michigan. He
made the freshman team here, how :
ever, and has been a varsity star for
two seasons. He played tackle in
1916, but was shifted to full back this
season. He scored 125 of Michigan's
3O4 points in 1917.
Michigan's great mass of veteran
material for her 1918 eleven is steadily
being reduced. Sparks, Rye and wes-
ton have been accepted for the avia-
ton service. All Of these men were
