WHAT BALL PLAYERS
DO IN OFF SEASON

The majority of good baseball
players are experts in other lines
and those who are not proficient
with the shot gun are few and far
between. Just recall to mind at
the close of each baseball season
the notices o see in the papers
about this and that ball player
taking to the woods Immediately.
Jess Barnes, Eddie Collins, Bob
Shawkey and dozens of other big
leaguers cannot get to the woods
quick enough, and we could name
many more. who would prefer
shooting to baseball playing. Re
Gently Chief" Bender, the famous
Indian pitcher of the Athletics in
their palmy days, and Chester
Thomas. manager of the Hartford
baseball club, engaged in a 100
target match in Hartford and
Bender won SO to 81. Previous to
the match neither had had a gun
in their hands for five months.
Bender is one of very lev Indians
who are proficient in the use of
the shot gun. Last year he was a
member of the Winchester shoot
ing team that toured New Eng
land and this winter he is manag-
ing the gun and ammunition de-
partment of the Winchester store
in New Haven, Conn.,, where he
has managed the Eastern League
ball club for the past two years.

Perth Amboy MiddIeWeight
Shows Much Improvement
Last Night

Harry Mason, local middleweight,
won from Teddy Hayes, Newark
boy, in the six-round semi-final bout
at Troxler's club in Newark last
night. The Amboy battler had the
better of his opponent throughout
the entire six rounds of fighting, and
the majority of the one thousand
fans in attendance at this show were
roofing for Mason to kayo his op-
ponent.
The local freight handler showed
considerable improvement in this
bout over his showing made at the
recent police smoker. In preparation
for this bout Manager Ed Mooney
Poulsen arranged with George
Ward, Elizabeth battler, to have
Mason train at the Elizabeth Y. Nj.
C. A. with Ward and some of his
stable mates, and these workouts
are credited with being responsible
for the improvement shown.
Mason had his opponent in a bad
way several times during the bout,
but seemed to lack the finishing
blow or else was somewhat doubtful
about the reserve strength of his
opponent. Mason fought another
Newarker in a four-round bout at
the police smoker in this city some
time ago. Last nights go was his
first six-round event.
Butch" Wallace, Passaic cyclone,
outpointed Johnny Coles of Newark
in the eight-round main event.
There were two f%ive-round bouts,
two four-round and three three
round bouts.
