MORE ABOUT MOORE.
sport writing in England seems to have been one of the neglected
industries The following from the London Mail, sent to US BY a SOL
Ter friend, Is evidence to back up the assertion, and relates to the
London. "N' F"
Wilde is lauded in the first half of the paragraph and is then
tipped to lay away before the boost is fully shot. Take a peep at this
and laugh as you please:
There is a good deal of the ferret about Jimmy Wilde.
He does not know what it means to "Rt CO." No sooner had he
won what was practically the fight of his life, decisiyely, it is
true, but not without running great risks, than he wanted
another go" Well, another bout with PAL Moore would
no doubt prove very sound business from the financial point
of view, but | fancy it would see the beginning of the setting
Of the sun of Jimmy Wilde. BY next time Moore might be
expected to have mastered his "Happing' faults, then where
would Jimmy Wilde be? The little man from Wales needs a
nurse to keep his toddhng but ambitious feet within the paths
Of safety.
How many birds are inviting Bill Brennan back OF the stand when
the game is over? The answer is, very few-provding even this select
array desires to keep the headpiece in the old accustomed place.

CASE OF BLACKBURNE.
George Blackburne came nearer losing his scalp last week than
has any other umpire in the Southern league. Warm words passed to
and fro between George and several rabid fans. The debate finally
ended in an invitation on the part of Blackburne to take on the fan
at 6 pm. in the rear of the stand.
When the game finished and the crowd began to gather like bees
around the honey, Blackburne stepped in his room and locked the door.
George must have meant a shadow boxing contest, as even Julio
vannucci had the deuce Of a time gaining admttance. And Julio hap
pens to be a guardian of the law,
