Represa, Cal.
May 2, 1884.

Charley Won Reedon's fine
showing in the featherweight
tournament in New York. means
nothing to one Frank Covelli.
Called upon to meet Won Reedon
when Charley Conner cut his
hand in the kitchen Of a Balti-
more hotel, "Kid" Covelli took
the decision in a furious bout
which pleased the fans.
The judges were not agreed,
however. as George King liked
Won Reedon, while Denny Hughes
and Referee Charley Short picked
Covelli as the winner. Won Reedon
was best in the seventh round
but plugged throughout the whole
bout as though he had been
pointing for it instead of accept
ing on short notice.
In other scraps, lie Roy Dougan
took it easy while young Dom.
1nick Nicco, wore himself out, and
then rallied to take a unanimous
decision in an eight-rounder semi
final. Roy Manley won an eight
rounder from "Porky" Saab, and
Charley Vaughn won the four
round opener from Dallas Palmer.

"Firenze" preceding each name IS
accounted for by the fact that
the name of the Guggenheim
place at Babylon, Long Island, is
Firenze.
The National Capital will see
the first clash of the season be-
tween the two well-known show
stables. Later the two stables
will meet again at Atlantic City,
Devon, and Wilmington, before
the New York season gets under
way.
Whitney Entries Hold Edge
In the matter of strength it
appears that Mrs. Whitney holds
a decided edge. Mrs. Guggen-
helm is gradually building a show
stable of great merit. and IS not
quite ready at this time to match
Mrs. Whitney's best. Observers
agree, however, that before
another National Capital rolls
around the mistress of Firenze
will be ready for the issue.
The friendly, personal rivalry
between the two noted horse
women lends not little attrac-
tiveness to the Bradley Farms
event.
AS for the entries, Mrs. Whit
ney's three grays, so beautifully
matched that they have been the
subject of numerous magazine
and newspaper articles, appear
to be standouts. AS a trio of
show.ring horses they stand alone.
Young women Of the Junior
League. who are sponsoring the
show, have the show grounds in
great shape for the big event of
the season. BY nightfall most
of the entries will be stabbed on
the grounds.

Friday-Central vs.. Roosevelt,
BY SID KATZNELL

There are many good ball play.
ers competing in the interhigh
baseball series, but there are few
colorful ones.
The most colorful is Bus Boyd,
Eastern'S heavyweight right
fielder, standing only 5 feet 7
inches from the ground and
weighing appr xima ately 200
pounds.
Every time Boyd comes to bat
or catches a fly the fans cheer
and whistle. The girls are par
ticularly fond of Boyd, who
bushes when a young lady talks
to him.
Bus is extremely fast for his
weight, and circles the bases with
the grace of a sprinter. He is a
capable fly hawk and strong
hitter.
Hits Hard
Yesterday he poled out two hits,
including a double. to aid his
team to defeat Tech High in an
inter-high series game, 10 to /.
Although his work was outstand-
ing, the real credit should go to
Joe Lefty" Sullivan, Eastern'S ace
pitcher, who held the Trainers to
two bingles and famed 13.
Joe Keegin, the Indians hand
some catcher, who will probably
be chosen by the high school
sports writer's as the all-high
backstopper when the series is
concluded, socked colossal home
run over Left Fielder Johnson's
head with Joe Mills on base, to
feature Easterns offensive. 1t
was one of the hardest hit balls
made in the series to date.
Tech Scores in Fifth
Tech scored its only run In
the fifth when Shortstop viii.

Now Eastern just has to dis

have any trouble to win the

Letter From Folsom
From, a FeLLOW Who
Wants a Job, Not Pity

NEW YORK, May 9.
FOLSOM STATE PRISON
RepreSa, Cal.
May 2, 1884.
Dear Bill:
Perhaps you will consider
this q strange and unusual let
ter and l grant that it is. But
I assure you that the circum-
stances are at least as unusual.
This is not sob story, nor a
yowl from a haunted and de-
pressed beast, but a plain touch
from man who was derailed
in his teens. A man who was
too young then to know what
It was all about, but who has
had twenty-five years since IN
which to find out. And 'fn" is
the exact word.
Possibly If 1 had known my.
self a little better on first fac
ing life, l could have made a
better job of it. On second
thought maybe it would have
been the same. Do you be-
lieve in fate? 1 don't know
how you will take to this, but
from reading your column ever
since it first appeared, 1 have
hopes that you will be frank
and fair. My card is up here
now, Bill, and after twenty-five
years I have the long prayed
for chance to try and start
over.
Granted Parole
At the last meeting of the
prison board of paroles at this
institution on the twenty-tourth
of last month, 1 was granted
an immediate parole to go to
New York as soon as I could
furnish satisfactory employ
ment. But that is where the
rub comes in. I have been
away from New York so long
that I have lost all connections
there. The few people do
know seem to be about as badly
off as I am so far as securing
employment is concerned.
l am in perfect health and
80 years old, but feel and act
younger, as l guess we all do at
this age. l am doing a life
sentence that dates back to
1912. 1 am jack of all trades
and master of none. do Of
flee work here, but am capable
and willing to do anykind of
steady work l can get to do,
manual or otherwise. Have
also had a little experience on
boats. In short can do about
anything that doesn't take too
much brains.
I think that most of us have
at least one good turn in our
systems, so I am out playing
the field in hopes of finding
someone who will give me a
break. For % years nothing
has happened in my life to test
my courage. But with all the
monotony I have had to en-
dure, have not lost all my

The one thing that / know

1 have only a limited education,

can with the tools that 1

At 80, am ready to start

they are against me even in

probably don't even answer those
you get from fans who are not

that it is dangerous to try and

Strong Hrnch
Apparent confirmation Of the
oft-repeated rumor that Mrs.
Helen Wills Moody never will
play tournament tennis again
comes under the heading of bad,
but not surprising news.
We had a strong hunch on
that memorable afternoon last
year. when she walked off the
courts at Forest Hills to con-
cede match and title to Helen
Jacobs that Mrs. Moody was
bidding the galleries goodbye for
good.
1t is an axiom in aviation cir.
cles that if you intend to keep
flying after a crack-up. the
thing to do is get back into a
plane as quickly as possible.
The same, believe, is true of
any highly competitive sport.
The keen edge of the blade of
competition dulls quickly.
Whenever veteran athlete
and Mrs. Moody was no longer
a recruit to the center court
when the misery overlook her
lays off for a year, he, or she,
is running the risk Of never
being able to come back.
