-(Author Unknown)-@9 @
SANDERS Shiny tongue
Slips silly over words
OF innuendo that do more harm
To innocence
Than open accusation.
No longer is it
Form the best
Boldly to proclaim another's guilt.
But rather softly to suspect
And in suspecting put the note of half-praise
That implication may be stronger
Than bold charges
And far less possible of any refutation.
A rattlesnake gives warning
When he is about to strike,
And his poison is quick and deadly;
But a gossip's tongue is oily
And its poison slow;
And for it there is no antidote.

ically who ever held the champion
ship, nearly all the great fighters
having been men of medium size.
Speed seems to diminish in propor-
ton to great bulk, and many giants
have been vanquished by men very
much smaller. owing to the clumsi-
ness of the big fighters. John l.
Sullivan was banled by Charley
Mitchell in France because of the
spryness of the understood Briton.
Herr Placke, a giant, fell like a
steel girder slipping from the chains
at the eleventh story as the result
of a punch from the much smaller
Kid Mccoy.
Slade. the Maori giant brought 10
America by Jem Mace to fight Sulli-
van, was an easy victim of the Bos-
torian.
Ned O'Baldwin, the Irish giant,
was feet 5 inches tall, but was
built on the beanpole order and was
a dangerous fighter, but in the main
the pugilistiC mammoths have not
achieved lasting fame.
The best fighters in the history OF
the game have been men ranging
from 40 to 100, as Fitzsimmons
Corbctt and Mace.

upEet all ring traditions and over
whelm the heavyweight of the

The objection raised by Jess Will
lard that nearly all suggested oppo-
nents are physically too small to fight
a giant of his proportions may be
overcome If a Brobdignagiau Serbian
discovered by Color Sergt. Walter
Duggan can be imported to this coun-
try. Duggan, who formerly was con-
nected with the Cohan & Harris en-
tourage, writing from CSblenz, de-
clared that the superman he has dis
covered is not only a real fighter. but
also an excellent boxer.
His name is Idsef Kortloff! is only
p years of age, stands 6 feet 11Iz
inches tall and stripped for fray
weighs 341 pounds.
II Kortloff were matched with Will
lard the Serbian would have a decided
advantage in all physical respects over
the champion. Willard would weigh
250 pounds. This would give the Serb
an advantage of 81 pounds, and as
Jess stands 6 feet 6 inches tall, the
foreigner would tower 5l9 inches over
the American.
1t is probable. however. that the
champions knowledge of boxing would
Offset those disadvantages and that he
would win.

league meeting which has been called
at Chicago ON January IL. Dave EultZ
Will undoubtedly be the new president.
and he will be instructed to present
to the major leagues all the troubles
or the minors at the joint meeting
here on January IS.
Many prominent minor league o..I-
Gals believe that the only salvation
for the minor circuits is a redistrict-
ing of territory. As the circuits are
now laid out. too much money is used
up in transportation EXPENSES.
This has been the trouble with the
minors for many years. and, in the
reconstruction period through which
the game is now passing. an effort
will be made to divide up the minioT
league territory so that the circuits
will be more compact.
One of the solutions to the minor
league problems which will be offered
Is scheme to combine four American
Association cities with four cities OF

Another proposed circuit is the other
