BOXERS WHO Do
NOT WORK, LOSE
Near Champs Often Be
come Easily Peeved and
Want to Be Idolized.

There are many boxers. or fighters,
as the average fan prefers to call
them, who would make champions or
near champions II they only had the
ambition to work and make the best
Of their lot, but they fail just be-
cause Of that fact.
John L. Shine. the well known Eng
lish actor. was in Milwaukee recently
and told OF a fighter whom he con-
sidered OF championship timber. but
who lacked the get and go" spirit
so necessary to a successful boxer.
''Toff Wall had a chance to be cham
pion Of Great Britain. about the time
Frank Slavin, the Australian heavy
weight came over and went to London,
where he knocked out big Joe Nc
Auliffe in two rounds" said Shine.
That wes in 1880. 1t was during the
time when Charlie Mitchell. Ted
Prichard and Jem Smith were at their
best. Wall had beaten Bill GOode. a
very tough proposition for any fight
er. and he was doomed for the cham
pionship. Like many others OF his
kind. Wall began to get lazy and
would be easily peeved II things did
not turn his way.
He wanted to be made a lot Of; in
other words. he became too fussy and
wanted to dictate, the same as many
Of our stars OF today.
1T was his undoing. for not long
afterwards he was matched with Billy
Mccarthy, the Australian middle
weight. and at the 11th hour backed
out Of the match because OF an alleged
telegram someone had sent. which he
said peeved him greatly. The sport
ing men dropped him like a hot cake
after that, and he probably regretted
many times his unsportsman-like
manner. He had a natural way Of
fighting. and wonderful stamina.
which was so essential those days. He
might have been a champion, and I
really believe he would have been but
for his inability to see things in the
right way.
He was only one OF many. but he
looked like a champion 10 me, and 1
always felt sorry that the fellow
should throw away such a splendid
chance"

from Princeton and New Haven that
things football are looking up. there
canes a report from Harvard of
more interest in the grand old sport Of
the gridiron than has been shown
since the entry of the country into

boasts of some so candidates under
the watchful eye Of PoOch Donovan.
II is understood that the Harvard S

when a number of students who have
been laid up with attacks of Spanish
influenza will be well enough TO don

He was relieved in the third by Duffy,

ful If two players may be found in

Duffy also put up the star batting
record Of the game. getting four hits
and four runs from five times using

form. having secured four hits from
