No less than is homers were hit
in yesterdays games, swelling the

the season to date. as compared 10

It was the first setback for the
''great one,"' but it didn't finish his
ring career. AS a physician at
tended his split lip and damaged
chin, he announced with no little
hauteur he was ready and willing
to carry through his agreement to
meet the Dempsey of the Cub
dugout," Hack Wilson, some time
In January.
Nor did he feel disgraced by his de-
feat. He halfway admitted Traftons
superiority, but pointed out that he was
outyeighted by 40 pounds.
IT didn't want to meet that big
bruiser and I've got mind to sock my
manager in the jaw" he grunted. But
I fought the best I could and had my
own laugh at the suckers-thoSe silly
fans who paid SIS seat. Let 'em laugh
at me all they want to. Let em think
I'm dumb I got three grand ($3 ,000)
for the fight and I'll get $4,000 more
for swapping socks with Mack Wilson"
Too Much TraftOn.
Shires fought a courageous fight last
night. but Trafton's great weight and
superior boxing ability were too much
for him. Only at the start of the bat
tie did he look like the great one"
who sent DAILY to sleep. At the tap Of
the bell he leaped like panther from
his center, rocking the Big Bear" with
a storm of wild rights and leftS. But
Trafton, his muscles steeled by long
months of foot ball, was ready for him.
He weathered the storm and carried
the attack to Shires thereafter.
Three times in the first round Traf-
tons looping left hooks sent the Texan
to the canvas, while many times LII
Arthur was sent reeling backwards by
straight rights to his jaw.
After that round 1t was all Trafton,
Three or four times in each OF the re-
manning rounds he gave ShireS q few
healthy smashes and then walked
around like any bear in zoo with the
very tired Mr.. Shires. walking after him,
five feet away.
OF the two, however, Trafton was the
more exhausted. His eyes dropped, his
hands hung helpleSsly by his side and
he glued his eyes on the timekeeper. 1t
was all right with ShireS. Occasionally
he would halt the armistice by half
hearted overland swing that landed on
the ropes and then resume his pace
behind his big rival.
Both had the tired appearance Of a
pair Of ditch-diggers going home after
a hard days work.
OCS MUCH. AuVACEs
But the large crowd, which paid
more than $4,000 to see the fight,
was more than satisfied, realizing the
two had fought every ounce of their
vitality. The little arena was in an up
roar, which was deafening when the
two started each round toe to toe and
Friends of both climbed to their cor
ners between rounds offering advice.
Women and men stood up during the
fight swinging their fists to convey more
advice, and twice the noise was so great
that Arthur and George fought over
time because the referee couldn't hear
the bell.
The two met In the shower baths
after the fight. shook hands, compile
mented each other for making suckers
out of those fight fans" and then went
arm in arm to . night club.
Trafton was In a jovial mood. I'll
fight anybody for another $1,000" he
clluckled. That's an easy game. How
long has this been going on?"

It's a real Joy to play base ball in these
days, as 1t was In my day. It may be
Mahaffey, right-hand pitcher, who
comes from the Pacific Coast. Why
Mahaffey? It will give me another first
aid for Earnshaw and 1 guess we need
it. Really, think all of them will be
good"
Bill Killefer, who runs the st. Louis
Browns now, said:
MY most valuable young player in
1880 may be Bennett, that kid we pulled
back from the Texas League. He hit
1868 in that league and 1 want an out
field that can hit. $50. When we get
that we'll send some of these pitchers
on the other clubs to 80 days on bread
and water"
Last, but not least. is Walter johnson,
the sage of Washington. AS to his prob
able most valuable young player in 1880,
he remarked:
George H. Loepp. outf1elder. whom
we bought from Baltimore. Maybe you
don't call him a young player. Maybe
his International League experience
makes him a veteran, but he Is young to
me and If he can hit. he will be young

Why Lick Shires Again,
Wilson Wants to KnoLU

CHICAGO. December II (P).-A
special dispatch to the Tribune early
today said Hack Wilson, Cub cen
terfielder, had decided definitely not
to go through with his fight with
Arthur (the Great) Shires here in
January.
After learning that George Traf-
ton, foot ball pro, had whipped
Shires last night, Wilson asked the
Tribune correspondent, why should
lick him, too?"
The Tribune writer quoted Wilson
as saying:
IF Shires had beaten Trafton, I
might have gone to Chicago and
tried to talk President Veeck of the
Cubs into letting me go through with
it. But there is no use in bucking
the Cubs and making my wife mad
just to floor guy who has already
been licked.
i've been worried right along over
whether to fight and get that $4,000
purse or to turn the fight down and
please Mrs. Wilson and President
Veeck. Now, with Shires whipped,
I'm going to stay right here in Mar
tinsburg and get ready to play some
great base ball next year."

BY GEORGE CHADWICK.

NEW YORK, December 17-Among
the major league men who gathered
here last week for their annual meet
ings, considerable discussion was heard
about young player prospects" for the
1890 season. The Tnagnates and man.
ayers always like to see bumper crop
Of promising new material coming along
for the next season.
This question first was put to Bobby
Quinn: "Who will be your most
valuable young player in 1902"
The Woodworking gentleman who
sits on the safety valve Of the Boston
Americans replied:
"Well, I think 1t will be Bill Sweeney,
roped in from Toronto by the draft,
providing he has lost none Of his pep
when the team begins Spring training
at Pensacola.
Sweeney has life. activity and should
bat about $40 for Boston II he-makes
the grade otherwise. He will generate
250 pounds of high-pressure pep, and
Boston needs it,"
Bush Picks JolIey.
DOME Bush was asked who will be
his most valuable young player on the
Chicago Americans in 1880.
"Jolley,", Donie Bush popped right
back. II thaC Duncn OF human
avordupois does not fall down on me
he will bat himself into the grandstand
at Chicago and also into the hearts Of
the fans of ComiSkey Park, where they
tell me, they have not had a swatter
for so long that they almost think the
breed Is extinct"
what will he hit?"
"The ball"
There's new answer for a manager.
Usually managers reply to such question
in figures.
Roger Peckinpaugh. first quarter
master for the Cleveland team, replied
in this manner:
II think 1t will be Gill; the outfeld-
er. coming back to us from Albany.
He hit the spots out of the Eastern
League moon last year. I've got Averill

Guard Feeds Long
Pass to Forward
BY SOL METZGER,

When a basket ball team has
mastered fundamental play-shoot-
ing. passing. dribbling-the next
step is the development of a system
Of attack. Here the coach must
consider not only his material, but
the types of defense his five will
meet. In this and a few subsequent
