Harry Heilmann, the Detroit

that Babe CAMEL. the kid outfieldeT
from Birmingham hit for .4S7 IN
his first big league trial and is
riding along on top Of the heap.
HeiImann. who makes habit OF
winning the title every other year.
arnassed an average of 1898 in 141
games and rightly overshadows
Cancels record which was made
In but IS games. Nevertheless.
CAMEL did collect IA singles, four
two-baggers two tIlree-baggers and
4 home run in 4S trips to the plate,
averaging .437. That can't be
taken away from him and makes
him q most dangerous candidate
Tor regular berth next summer.
HeiIman's triumph Is ex-
tremeIy praiseworthy. In the
spring he looked so bad that
Manager MOriartY benched him
Tor d week or so. Resuming
his place In the lineup. the big
fellow finally got going and the
way he pounded the ball was
. shame. He rapidly Oyercame
those ahead Of him and. with
Al Simmons slipping as the re-
suit Of an injury. he passed the
young Macklnan in the con-
eIuding weeks of the season
and crossed the line In first
place. leading Simmons by six
points.

George BOthner Recalls
Wrestling Bout in This City

George Bothner. who held the
lightweight wrestling championship
of the world for 20 years. is telling
the story OF his life to Tom Curry,
who is writing it for the Elks' maga-
zine. In the current installment,
J,othner recalls a match he had in
New Britain with Ed O'Connell,
then wrestling instructor at Yale.
and one of the premier lightweights
OF New England at that time.
Bothner's early wrestling career
was confined almost exclusively to
transforming with burlesque shows,
in which he challenged any person
in the audience to stay with him
for five minutes without being
thrown Speaking of his match in
this city. he says:
when l finished transforming. !
took position as coach at Prince

I developed Heff Herring. who be-
came. intercollegiate heavyweight
champion. While teaching at
Princeton was offered the job at
Yale but l did not want to leave
Tigertown. / refused. The Yale
athletic authorities asked me to
recommend someone for the posi-
ton. I told them to apply TO Ed
! O'Connell. one OF New England'a
J crack lightweights. They gave
) O'Connell the job and the following
year Ed brought his boys down to

| "kohler Huyler. son of the choco-
late magnate, couldn't rest until he
knew whether or not I could beat
Ed O'Connell. Huyler went ia
O'Connell and asked him if he could
lick me. O'Connell was not sure
either way. In order to start the
ball rolling. Huyler came to me and
told me O'Connell thought maybe
he could beat me.
Il went to O'Connell and said
Say the word. O'Connell. and well

took so per cent, the loser 40.
This was in June. 1903. Now
in those days. when I held the light
weight championship. my nemesis
was one Harvey Parker. a weller
weight. who thought he could bea
me. Parker was a broad-shoulder

neck and powerful tongue. HI
