Powell reported with a wounded

Nixon was SO exercised over the
transaction that he refused to re

from organized baseball, and, moe

wasn't bluffing by keeping his
word.
So the Phils really lost two out

to Boston. Later two rockies were
sent elsewhere. Fred Leach, the
Idaho slugger, was released to liar
risburg, Pa, and Frank Heinrich
the former Ascension star, was sent
to Williamsport.

outfield shift when he snapped
Outfielder Curt Walker to Cincia

was soon followed by his buying

Critic. the Master Boxer.


THEY'LL never get tired Of
telling stories of Young
Critic, the Australian marvel.
Critic was undoubtedly the clev-
crest man that ever pulled on a
rair of gloves. When he arrived
here in 1893, the first match he
grabbed was at Chicago. He was
to box a fellow named Young
Scotty, and it was to be for siS
rounds. The fans here didnt
know much about Critic at the
time, although they had read 9
little about him.
In those days Critic loved hi!
hooch, and very often came int
the ring half plastered, The
night he met Young Scotty he was
pretty we'll ginned up, and en-.
tered the ring smiling like a rea
estate agent spotting a sucker.
When the bell rang Critic
walked to the center of the ring
with his hands at his sides, Young
Scotty, a bit perplexed, danced
about and tented. Critic backed
TO the ropes, and Scotty let fly

had bent over, it appeared, al
though brushing his knee.
After Scotty had missed twenty
CT thirty more the crowd com
menced to laugh. They had JUS
tnmbled to the fact that the kit
was clever. Having shown thu
toys bit of defensive work
Griff then started in to do a BIT
Of pepperng himself. YOUNG
Scotty saw more gloves that night
than any man had ever seen be-
fore. or since.
