Ossie Bluege, the Peoria pippin, is

horse in the very first frame yes

The youngster handled five assists
and one putout like a veteran and
collected two hits in four attempts
for an average of 800.

Griffith's comment, and he may be

II should happen to win again 1t
would be a feat almost too good to
be true. Not In recent years has one
man annexed the British title twice
in succession. The last time that this
was done was in 1905 and 1905, when
James Braid turned the trick.
In 1898 and 1899 Harry Vardon did
the same thing, but, strange to say,
it was an omen of i'll luck for the
great master, for after winning at
Sandwich there followed a succession
of lean years for Harry, and for a
decade he only managed 10 win one
more title. ....

"I've been featherweight cham

I've fought some fairly good men

SST'VE made plans for a bout
in the near future that

the plans were made some time
ago. But It will not be q bout
with Johnny Dundee.
Dundee is already a title
holder" said Kilbane. "Why
should the New York Commits
sion insist on me boxing Dundee
at q weight that would give him
considerable poundage on me

der that weight? It would be as
sensible for the commission to

far off and usually this homebred can
be counted upon to deliver the sooos

factor In winning championships. and
many victory has been set down. TO
Hagen's credit that would not nave

the pinches.
They say Hagen is not good when
