THEN came a big surprise-the
/ Tiger Hunters" got the Tigers.
When It IS considered that the I'll
ger Hunters" had but few days
practice and beat decisively the best
team in the southwest the feat IS the
more remarkable. Claim to the 1913
championship Of the southwest by the
alumni crew looks perfectly good as
they viii undoubtedly play even
stronger games after more practice
Yet IL must be remembered that this
is the Tigers first defeat and that
they have long string Of victories.
Before the game Friday night a IL
ger rooter said we are not scared
Of LapowskL He'd fat, not like the old
Lapowski Of 1878 Tigers But say,
some?
II is reported that Fred Fulton and
Harry Wills are TO meet in san Fran
cisco early in april Californian au-
tnorities who are 50 careful OF tne
fistic game that they allow but -FOUR
round affairs in that state nave
fine opportunity TO help the game Dy
not permitting Fulton to appear.
Boxers who pull the rank stuIr tndl
Fulton and Jack Johnson tried 10 put
over should be barred from the game
and given tine TO spend the rest OF
their days in con1essing or any otner
pastime which they enJoy-Dut not
10 further disgrace boxing Until
such action is taken against such men
there is every reason TO believe that
the majority Of selfrcsp Getting peo-
PIE viii think less OF the game
Imagine Jack Dempsey. the Non
parefl Terry McGoVern, John Il sal
livan. Bob FitZsimmons, cOn1essing.
II can't be imagined It can only pc
conceived where there Is an old gold
streak a foot wide down the center
OF a boxers track. Fulton lost his
CUTS when he took one good look
at Dempsey on the fatal night Fred
die viii make a fighter some day II
rage factory. As for Johnson he was
always yellow" He was never
known 70 make q return match with
men who gave him q beating. he
didn't have the courage
There IS considerable said In the
columns these days about the army
the circumstances. II q boxer has
been Irregular IN his habits-as many
OF them are-Uncle Sam teaches MIN
some fine regularity. Il IN addition
20 this the boxer is excused from his
work as a soldier and IS permitted to
train practically all the time, he may
do well. II he serves as a soldier
which all but a very very small per
cent do-his chances to become FAST
boxer in the army are not 80 good
Tsaers Is not only lack OF time for
the Job but the regular Work has a
tendency TO make a draft horse in
stead OF q racer. For acquiring speed
the army is a poor place for q man
training to be a boxer.
Pete Herman. campaign bantam
weight Of the world, and Pal Moore.
who says he IS Just as important as
any champion because OF his decision
over Jimmy Wide. met the other
night in an eight round nodecisiea az
fair which ringsiders say was good
draw. Pete. who still poses as cham
plon. was given q trouncins recently
by Kid Wolf, Of Cleveland Moore,
the important, was given lacing by
Frankie Mason, OF Fort Wayne. Ind
Looks ike two sristocrattc bantams
haven't much 10 crow about these
days.
Every now and then an apparently
untitled man hobs MP IN the athletic
world and wins, anyhow. Kid Mccoy /
was too frail for the boxing game, it
was said, but he went to the top.
When Lew Tender started on his ca /
reer It was predicted that he wouldn't 4
20 far because he was too slim, but I
he has never been stopped and seems /
10 be the logical lightweight cham
pion today, Leonard appearing a few 4
pounds overweight Andy Kelly, I
built on the plan OF q champion tat /
man, was a joke when he started run
ming, but he broke worlds records. i
Loren 1lurchison. OF St. Louis, the |
new speed marvel, has legs Ike .
strong man, chunky and knotted, yet |
at the recent indoor meet at Phila- I
delphia he lacked Just one second Of Il
lowering the worlds record in the |
40 dash. All OF which reminds US 4
that we can do It without an ideal
makeup
ID IN Minneapolis they have q II
clause IN the boxing bill which stipu-
lates that 10 per cent OF the gate re-
ceipts Of all boxing shows shall be II

four years over $4,000 has been do
mated TO help keep up the state sani- n

ether states.
