five blocks, evened up a fractional

Sind, and then passed Smith on
the 56th game and held the lead.
Blouin proved himself great
money player in the match by fight
ing an uphill battle all the way
against the Milwaukee bowler. The

Jack Dislocafes His
Shoulder IL, Train
ing Session.

New York, Dec. 20.-No ship
that ever stopped across Teu-
tonic torpedo has anything on that
Jack Britton-Bobbie Barrett bat
tie, which was to have been held in
Philadelphia Christmas afternoon.
The proposed bout is spurlos YER
senkt, scuttled, foundered, turned
turtle, blown up. No one can find
trace of it.
1t isn't Boobies fault. The
freckled shock absorber was all set
to give Philadelphia the merriest
Christmas it had enjoyed since
Hector was puppy. He was rar-
ing to go. It was the former well
ter champion who caused the ca
lamity. In the course of a training
bout Jack took round-house
swing at his opponent, forgetting
his old brittle bones and his shaky
limbs. Missing the object Of his
punch he took a Charley Chaplin
fall and put his shoulder out CT
commission.
So Philadelphia will be permitted
to eat its Christmas turkey without
sauce. Otherwise Jack Britton is
fine. We saw him at the ringside
at the Walker-Krug battle and he
looked to be in great shape. He had
the bloom OF youth upon his cheeks
and his eyes were bright and flash
ing.
Unless Mickey Walker improves
in ring science, the first real scrap
per with a left that he meets is 60
ing to remove the welter crown
from Mickey's brow. Walker is a
Terry McGovern in everything but
the punch: Since he is not knock
circuit he has got to buck up in box
ling skill.
The champion was censured fol
pounding Phil Krug when Phil had
fallen through the ropes and upon
returning held out his glove fol
the usual handshake.
The reason Mickey ignored the
friendly hand and walloped the
man who proffered it was because
of rage at Krug's thickness. Walk
err had rushed Krug and had SC
assailed him about the body that
Phil lost his balance and went hall
through the ropes. 1t was clear

Chicago, Dec. 20.-Fifty rounds

the Giants will not be involved.
On April z and 8 the New Workers
are listed to play the Memphis club
at Memphis. This gives Gleason's
men two days by themselves, and
the chances are that couple of
southern teams will be taken on.
The other addition may be on April
16 to help keep the south siders in
condition between the time they
end the joint tour and start the
regular season.
The date of the Sox departure for
the camp at Seguin has not been
determined, but it probably will be
in the neighborhood of March l. 1t
is likely that the battery men will
be shipped south week in advance

It's members had their own carriages and the women never knew what 1t was to mend their own clothes or soil their hands with house work.

This in addition to seating accomra odations in the rear for 40 persons, will give seating capacity to the church sufficient for 200 people.
