BY FREDERICK CLUB

FREDERICK, Nd, october 49,
Frederick club of the Blue Ridge
League has announced the sale of
Benny April, its star catcher, to the
Terre Haute club of the Three Eye
League. April, catcher for several
Washington sandlot mines and the
University of Virginia base ball team,

for the Cleveland Indians, owners of
the local club.
The former Tech High School
luminary reported to the Warriors
after receiving his sheepskin from the
University Of Virginia, and immediate
ly clinched the first-string catching
job from several promising rockies.
April's hitting and pep behind the
plate attracted the attention of Billy
Evans, general manager of the Cleve-
land club, who recommended him to
the Terre Haute officials. April hit

against a good heavyweight, Jack
Sharkey.
Loughran cleaned up the light
heavies to the satisfaction of all and
was conceded a good chance to con-
tinue his winning march against the
big fellows The failure of Loughran
gives rise to the assumption that the
light heavyweight class is not so good
as the fans were led to. believe. OF
course the contenders for the vacant
title are equally matched in their own
grading and this would mean that some
fairly good matches could be made. The
surprising thing about the situation is
that everybody is claiming the title,
but no one cares to fight the other fell
low.
Couldn't Match Boys.
Tom McArdle, matchmaker of Mad
ison Square Garden, attempted TO geI
the boys together in q round robin
tournament, with a view to clarifying
the muddled situation and bringing out
a bona fide leader. When it came time
to pairing the boys and getting down 10
BRASS tacks in the matter of remunera-
ton, McArdle threw up his hands IN
disgust The purses asked by some OF
the fighters took McArdle's breatn

Jimmy fell by the wayside. Defeats by

Walker Okun and Rosenbloom are in
and-outers, and after several years OF
battling seem to have found themselves.
Important victories over good men seem
to have worked wonders with their
mental condition.
Belanger looked good for time, but
has been beaten by lesser lights. George
Courtney of Oklahoma can easily make
the middleweight limit, but a scarcity
of willing opponents compelled him to
look for work in the next heavier class.
Again George Is being baked because
no one cares to mingle with him.
Yes, some great men have worn the
light heavyweight toga, but their equal
does not seem to be among the IT'S

v VANCOUVER, British Columbia,
October 18-One of the last
" links connecting present-day
pugilism with the era Of John
l.. Sullivan and other fighters
of the bare-knuckle school has been
broken with the death here Of Frank
Slavin.
Slavin fought as a professional for
more than 20 years, fell under the spell
of the Yukon during the gold stampede
of 1898 and wound up the spectacular
side OF his career with an enlistment
in the Canadian Army during the
World War when he was 81 years old.
He died in a hospital here yesterday
after an illness Of more than year.
Born In Maitland, New South Wales,
January S, 1862, Slavin took up boxing
as a form of amusement while he was
working in a mining camp in Aus
tralia. He won the amateur heavy
weight championship and turned pro-
fessional more or less by accident. In
a Queensland barroom he encountered
Martin Powers, local champion, who
poked fun at the amateur until SlaVin
offered to fight him then and there. So
great was the interest, however, that
the fight was staged at race track for
purse. Slavin beat Powers in Is
minutes, under prize ring rules.
Slavin's rise was rapid. In 1886 Mar
tin Costello of the United States, who
had lasted five rounds with Sullivan,
visited Australia and Slavin was picked
to uphold the prestige Of that country
against the invader. Costello was
knocked out in seven rounds. Slavin
then went to Europe, and still later to
the United States. meeting, among
others, Jem Smith, British champion;
Big Jack McAuliffe Of Detroit, Peter
Jackson, Jim Hall. Bob Armstrong,
Jake Kilrain and Frank Craig.
Slavin was in San Francisco when
news of the gold strike in the Klondike
came. He Immediately went to the
Yukon where he remained for many
years. While there he met Frank Gotch,
the heavyweight wrestling champion.
Gotch thought he could box and he
agreed not to use wrestling tactics.
After Slavin had given him a bad bat
tering however, Gotch, Infatuated, lifted
the Australian in his arms and tossed
him out of the ring.
Slavin later settled in Victoria, British

TEE light heavyweight class made
popular by Ruby Bob FitZSim-
mons, Georges Carpenter, Paul
4 Berlenbach, Jack Delaney and
Tommy Loughran is now at low
ebb in point of interest, since the re-
cent passing of Loughran, title holder.
One wonders what has become of
good fighters when they cannot give
away a few pounds without being
beaten into submission.
The light heavyweight, or cruiser
class, was created to give men too heavy
for the middleweightS and too light to
cope with the heavieS a fair chance to
compete with others of like weight. But
It was not always so. Going back into
the history of the prize ring; we find
that a cocky little fellow by the name
of Charles Mitchell, weighing but 100
pounds, gave the immortal John L. Sui
Ivan a great fight. And Bob FitZSiIn-
mons was little more than a middle
weight when he scored innumerable
victories over big men and won three
titles.
Little Men of Yesteryear.
Another glance over the history of the
prize ring and we find a great middle
weight champion, Stanley Ketchen,
lighting Jack johnson, the heavyweight
champion, and scoring a knockdown.
Thus 1t would seem that the old timer
Is right In wishing the men of yesterday
were in their prime, If only to show up
some of the young upstairs who are now
piling up bank accounts.
The official debut Of Tommy
Loughran into the heavyweight class
was a dismal failure. The way he took
the shortest way back to his corner
before the full count has left a bad
taste in the mouths Of the fans.
Loughran, brilliant light heavyweight,
was unable to stand up for three rounds

tionary forces, and fought in the
trenches. He was 81 years old at the
time but his fine physical condition,
together with a dyed mustache and
close clipped hair, enabled him to pass
the recruiting officers.
He was given his honorable discharge
at Victoria and then prospected for sew
eral years. He was taken seriously i'll
late in 1928 and had been a hospital
patient for months.
Slavin's proudest boast was his happy
married life. He celebrated his thirty
fourth wedding anniversary in 1928. He
was the father of three daughters and
a son, the latter being killed in action
in France.
