no hit game at Wilmington, Del. and
no hit, no run game at Wilmington,
Del, and who was one of the recruit
pitchers taken south by John Nc
Graw this spring, has been released
to the Chattanooga club of the South

up we'll at Gainesville and was sent to
Chattanooga for the reason that Nc
Graw knows Sammy Strang. who is
managing the club in that city, will
take good care OF the youngster. Tod
Miller, who came to the Giants from

may leave to join that club within the
next few days.
Mike Gibbons finally has decided to
go to California for a series of bouts.
Gibbons is one of the few boxers
of the first class who has never fought
in that state. At one time he paid
visit to the far coast and performed
in an exhibition bout with his brother
but Californians never have seen the
st. Paul wizard in genuine battle.
1t is probable that Gibbons will be
matched with Soldier Bartfield for a
four-round bout late this month. Bart
field is having real difficulty in finding
good opponents, so the promoters
have made Gibbons an offer that he
can not afford to resist.
