Not Real Test for Welsh.
Willie (Kid) Green, who was made
10 quit in the fourth round of a bout
with Freddie Welsh in Newark the
other night. is no topliner. He is not
even good second-rater. Just the
same he is a sturdy boy. willing to
slug and take punishment. So the
ease with which the former light
weight champion polished of the
Bostonian makes it appear that he
has a chance to come back Welsh
said today that he was going to pro-
/ coed carefully. His plans are to take
on three or four boys Of Green's class
and then tackle the second-raters
After that he expects to hoist him
self among the stars. Welsh weighs
a little over 137 pounds right now;
MS waist line looks little puffy. but
plenty OF action should correct that.

no manager who didn't have a strangie-
hold on his job succeeded in living
through the cyclone. As the situation
stands new faces will be seen in many
quarters. Ty Cobb will manage the De-
troiters. Hugh Jennings win run the
field end Of the Giants, il he doesn't do
more. Fred Mitchell will run the Braves
in place of StalIings. Johnny Evers will
conduct the Cubs. Bill Donovan will
succeed Cravath at the helm Of the
Phillies Clark Grifiith hasn't yet picked
man to serve as manager Of the Sen
ators. Hugh Duffy will manage the
Red Sox and the st. Louis Browns are

Where do the base ball rockies go?
New York fan points out that of
the seventeen recruits who went to
San Antonio with the Giants last
spring fourteen have departed to the

Willie Lewis. who taught Georges

that unless Dempsey Is a hundred per
