NAVIN BUYS
 NEW TIMBER
 FOR THE TIGERS

Detroit, Aug. 25.---Frank Navin doesn't intend to let the action of the minor leagues in breaking away from the majors interfere with his plans to recruit talent for the future.
 The Tigers do not require strength ening in any particular department at this time, still the local magnate is beginning to build his fences for the pericd when help might be required.
 Therefore the first crate of minor leaguers consigned to the Detroit club will be unloaded here some time be- tween now and the close of their var ious league seasons.
 There are two pitchers, a catcher and an infielder in the allotment. J. B. Glasler, finger, was purchased from the Hamilton club; James Rob erts, another heaver, comes from the New Orleans club; Sammy Hale is an infielder from the San Antonio club of the Texas league, and L. Wood, catcher, is a product of the Fort Worth team, same league.
 None of the boys will be asked to report to the Tigers before the sea- son in his league closes Each has established a splendid record this year and none is older than A, which is the age of Woodall, the backstop.
 Navin has a corps of scouts comb ing the brush for talent and there are apt to be more purchases in the near future, although Navin cannot state definitely just now what his plans will be. They depend entirely upon re- ports of his ivory hunters.

O'D0WD TRAINED TOO FINE FOR
 BRETON BOUT

-.ewark. Aug. 25-Those who saw Mike O'Dowd's drawn and pinched face at the First Regiment Armory in Newark last Friday night and who were informed by Joe Humphries that the middleweight champion weighed 1855 pounds at ringside are puzzled to account for his action in wasting him. self to that low poundage. Under the conditions of the match with Britton, O'Dowd was required to make 15S pounds ringside, which would have been a comparatively easy task and would have left him in possession of his strength. But for some inscrutable reason O'Dowd wished to show the public that he could make a low weight, with the result that he re- 2uced his fighting vigor to a point where he boxed the first two rounds with all the fury of an indisposed Alderney. Later on he recovered some of his stamina and made good showing, but not up to his us ual form.
 The fact that O'Dowd weighed 155 pounds ringside indicates that he sealed considerably less in the after noon, probably 152 pounds, and it is surprising the man was able to put up any kind of a bout. The reduc- tion of the niddleweight to so low a figure when his normal fighting weight is 160 pounds may have been interesting to those who consider weight the most important part of pugilism, but the performance has done the middleweight champion no special good and unQuestionably re- duced his fighting ability by 25 per cent. in his contest with Britton.

 The straight on the wiIde-Noore battle, Leon Errol, the famous stage drunk" who is now in England, writes his favorite sport editor as follows:
 Just have got to write you an angle of the Pal Moore-Jimmy Wilde fight that will never appear in Ameri- can papers via the columns of the English press.
 The boys over here who backed Moore were simply rolled for their money. The boys should have known better than to place any money up at all, considering the fact that the referee who officiated at the famous Ritchie-Welsh fight was in the ring. Pal handed Jimmy a broken nose, cut lip, and, in short, had him cov- cred with blood from head to foot, yet the decision was given against him. Pal didn't have a scratch. The referee said something about Pal us ing an open glove and warned him during the progress of the fight, but you know the story, Tad, so what's the use of commenting further.
 Intend to stock up a lifeboat on the vessel I shall sail home on so that I can anchor it three miles out from the Statue of Liberty and have a midnight party for my pals. Are you a swimmer?
