WILDE PROVES HIS
WORTHASABOxER
British FIyweight Champion
Amazes Fans With Cleverness
and Walloping.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2o.-Jimmy Wfl-
de. champion fiyweight boxer. has to-
day proved his right to the title OF the
best little man in the ring. Wilde
made his initial bow TO Eastern box,
ing fans at Jersey City. and disposed
of Mickey Russell In seven rounds.
The Britisher's victory, decisive
though II was. did not impress the
boxing fans as much as his exhibition
OF cieverness and hitting ability. be-
cause Russell was no match for him.
Wilde Is a scientific. two-hended
scraper. He Is a good judge OF dis
lance. and he can hit with either
hand. His footwork and aggressive
ness impressed the fans.
At mitigating the little Briton
ranks away and above the average
British boxer. That he is going TO he
a dangerous opponent for the big per-
centage OF American bantams Is a
certainty.
Those who saw Russell led to the
chopping block were impressed WIFE
Wilde's cool. deliberate, and merciiess
style OF ishting. He made a punching
bag OF Russell. and though he did not
exhibit his Knockout punch --Russrlfs
handlers tossing In the towel there
is no denying the fact that ne can
punish an opponent. His right hand
Is his best asset.

While President Griffith is not
worrying over much about those
players still out In the cold, never

pleased him. 1t indicates an early ar
rival OF other agreements to toll in the
hot sun at Georgia avenue.
Eddie Gill, the former Holy Cross
pitcher, has also signed for another
year.
Booth Grubb, shortstop on the Nc
Kinley Manual Training school team,
will go South with the Griffmen for
a trial. Cy Cummings. the Chevy

Over at third base Whitley Witt is
going after Fred Thomas Job. SO is
Frank BRAZIL, who is said to be a bit
clumsy on his dogs, but otherwise a
promising youngster OF some twenty
five years. Thomas is a right clever
fielder, but his hitting keeps no twirl-
ers awake as they come riding into
Broad street. witt can hit, even IL
he isn't a neat fielder, and hitting is
extremely valuable these days.
Out in the garden Connie will have
two veterans in Amos Strunk and
lilly Walker. Both are good men,
though on the down grade. George
Burns as an outfielder offers an anus

motorcycle ready for George when
