NEW YORK, May 30.-Obvious-
IN " the loss of Hal Carlson by
death adds nothing to the chances
of the Cubs in the current scramble
for the National League champion
ship. While he did not rank with
the great pitchers of his day he was
nevertheless a dependable gent to
have around and more than one
fence buster has swung in vain At
that fast darting curve he had a
habit of using in the pinches.
Top heavy favorites to repeat their sue
cess OF last season. Il now begins to ap-
pear as 10 the Cubs will have tough
time fighting back the opposition. The
fztes have death none too Eraeiousiy with
them this year. At various times Hornsby.
Bell. Bush and Stephenson have been out
81 the iineup-and now Carlson, one Of the
teams winning pitchers. is gone forever.
GENTLEMEN WHO MAKE BOOK ON
SUCH VITAL THINGS RATED THE CUBS
AN EVEN MONEY BET BEFORE THE
PEW EVEN MONEY BETS IN BASEBALL
WHERE THE SCHEDULE RUNS FROM
APRIL TO OCTOBER AND A PLAGUE OF
MISFORTUNE CAN wITHER FIVE OF
YOUR STARS BEFORE EVEN THE QUAR-
TER POLE HAS BEEN REACHED.

Y SEE by the papers that Mllwau-
i kee is to witness its first cham
pionship fight Mr.. Benny Bass IS
going out there to defend his junior
lightweight crown on June or 20.
His opponent will be none other
than Mr.. Eddie Anderson who seems
to have taken on a new flush Of
activity.
II IL Interesting To read that this Is
10 be a return meeting between the two
young savaEes. In their first meeting
which, sinEuIarIy. also was held in Mil
waukee, Mr.. Bass knocked Mr.. Anderson
down seven times and in turn was knocked
down three times himself. making total
Of ten, or three above par for the course
NATURALLY THE CUSTOMERS WERE
MOVED TO SUCH FLIGHTS OF HYS-
TERRA BY THIS SPECTACULAR PER-
FORMANCE THAT NO SOONER HAD
THE LITTLE BULLDOGS DRAGGEH
THEIR ACHING BODIES TO THE TRAIN
THAN CITY-wIDE CLAMoR WAS
SOUNDED FOR THTTR RETURN.
Magnanimous,y the rival man
ayers consented. snd as a conse-
ouence the two r7ini0 tire panthers
are coming bark fer big money and
Milwaukee is 10 Geo its first cham
pionship ring battle.
n
THIS one ought to be Just swell
i and I do hone am able to SEE
it. 1t isn't often that YOU find two
young gents so superblv gifted in
the subtIeties of play acting as thN
Junior lightweight champion Pr
his current challenger. What
mean. bow. is that they can MT j.
on, and 1 hasten to add, with
flash of originality, like nobody's
business.
Certainly verv few Of our ring thespians
ever gave more finished stimulation Of
rrogginess and fighting fog than did Mr.
Bass In the frs. round Of his tisle-winniD~
effort against Mr.. Tod Morgan in the
Garden son,e months back. 1t is true
that Mr. Morgan ultimately carried off
the evenings konors in point Of artistry.
his collapse in mid ring at the PROVE
moment being technically fawless, but
even so Il was rot necessary to make
apologies for Mr. BsSs. He did all right.
OF course II the bows become temper
amental out in Milwaukee and try to out
act each other. there can be but one end
ing Mr.. Anderson is absolutely in
class by himself when it comes to inter
pretlng the more tragic phases Of the
business. He puts on a knockdown for
you that is a knockdown and a mighty
fine thing about Mr. Anderson is that
he'll give you as many as you want.
7 FORGET how many Anderson
Il gave the customers out west one
night In a floht I saw him make
AGAINST Pete Sarmiento. I believe
Mr.. Frank Churchill had Pete at
the time. I'm sure be had Morgen
when Mr.. Bass won the Champion
ship. And it seems to me the last
I heard of Mr.. Churchill was that
he was doing some sort of business
for Camera in California.
q
II appears that Mr.. Churchill Is
jealous lover of the drama and 1 am told
there Is nothing that warns the cookies
of his old heart more than good smash
ing one-ni~ht performance between a cou-
ME Of artists who not only can take it,
but know when to and when not to.

TT WILL BE a GREAT DISAPPO1NT-
NEWT TO ME IF I GO OUT TO MIL
wAU-EE TO SEE MR.. BASS AND Mp.
ANDERSON co THROUGH THEIR FAS-
cINATING ROUTINE AND MP. CHURCH

AESTHETIC SENSES.
