Rep Too Precious to Take
a Chance.

In the boxing game reputation
is held too precious to place in
the balance unless the remunera-
ton is sufficiently large to appeal
to the business instinct Of the indi-
viduaI boxer or his manager. A
ring man calls himself a fighter, or
at least be regards himself as such
even though the game nowadays is
referred to in a more refined man
ner as boxing" But one ceases to
be fighter when he disappoints a
crowd of fans by refusing to go on
with scheduled bout because
there is not enough money in sight
for him.
1t was just such crawfish stuff
as this that Cal Delaney of Cleve-
land uncorked at the Illinois thea
ire last night. The night was warm
and the attendance was not what
it had been at previous boxing en-
tertainments, but it placed Cal in
an extremely bad light when he re-
fused to carry through with his
contract. He stated that he had
been accustomed to showing his
wares before packed houses and
considered it beneath his dignity as
a lightweight to appear before
meager sized house.
Be that as it may, il Cal Delaney
was any kind Of a sport at all he
would have gone through with the
| bout and taken his share OF the re-
ceipts. Ii he possesses any conf
dence in his own ability, lie most
certainly could have given the
fans who did attend a run for their
money, as the effort would hardly
have caused him any regret.
Mistel.JehnsOn Draw.
Pete Mistel of Chicago and Bat
ting Johnson OF Moline went
through with their part Of the
scheduled program in pleasing
fashion. The pair travelled the full
! 10-round route. 1t was a slashing
| bout from start to finish and the
| only fair decision to both boys is a
draw. Johnson got away to an
early lead on the rugged Chica.

the middle of the bout and evened

getting the best of the inighting
and Mistel causing some damage
to the Moliner's jaw and face. Oc-
casionalIy Johnson landed effect
lively with his well known left jab
to the face.
| Kid Carver fought his first and
| last ring engagement. He quit in
the second round of his fight with
frankie Scherbroeck. Perhaps it
| is best that he did. With rolls of
Juicy fat sticking out from all por-
tons of his anatomy he was a
beautiful target for the more fine

Carver was at least Is pounds
heavier than Scherbroeck.
Young Harris and Kid Bates. two
colored boys, furnished some en-

through the acquisition Of IVES
Grimm from Oklahoma City in the
western league, Jack appears to
have gathered in a player Of ex-
ceptional all-around merit. His
work in the road games was reve-
lstion. Not only does he perform
vith startling proficiency in the
-outNeld. but he is capable Of I'LL
ing in in the infield if necessary.
And above all he is a pitcher of
no mean ability. His exhibition at
eedar Rapids yesterday was a mas
tefpiece. He allowed the Dummies
only four scattered hits. Added to
al this his hitting has been vicious,
. his hits counting in the run-getting
Of the Islanders in nearly every
eame on the road. He evidently is
one Of those rare players who are
worth going out to see alone per-
form.
Jack also announces the acquisi-
ton Of another pitcher by the name
Of McAnney, a St. Louis semi-pro
start. McAnney joined the team at

RAZZING THE RULES.

II it weren't for our trick Ian
guage, it would be less painful to
be touched out at second than bat
ted out of the box.
No wonder a pitchers judgment
is often warped when it takes SO
much brains to control a curve
ball.
Unless the player is colored, II
is easier to catch fly than a foul
Flies should be forgiven because
they FALL in fair territory.
There might be something in
baseball that is significant to the
labor question. AL strikes are wild
swings.
Infielders who cavort with holes
in their gloves are ready to fight
whenever accused of having holes
in their bats.
Say, girruls, do you remember
away back when you didn't have to
hurry home because your stocking
had begun to run2

for the fielder to handle properly,
