Boxing Commissioner Brown is
quoted as boasting that he engi-
neered that fne-feathered bit of Hit
lerism which forced the well-beaten
Jannazzo into bout with Barney
Ross. He is also quoted as demand
ing and so, what about it?" One
answer is that Mr.. Brown should
consider his own case and then fire
himself on the grounds of incompe-
tence.
One reason why Boston College is
returning to the high football estate
of the days of Major Cavanaugh is
that Gil DObie is one of the nations
five best coaches. Another reason
is that rs B. C. alumni are coach
ing New England prep and high
schools. Brooklyn apparently
does better with the ponies than
with its baseball palOOkas. In proof
look at the eminent trainers, Hirsch
Jacobs and Fred Kraft, and then
recall Walter Miller, who still holds
the record for the most winners
booted home in season. :. Joe
Taylor, who once trained Jack
Dempsey, now has taken up with
another winner, having joined the
circulation department of New
York paper. Emile dot, VINO
should be one of the best lap steal
ers in the six-day bike races, prob
ably distresses his male parent ev-
cry time he nabs one. The elder
Diot is Paris Chief of Detectives.
National Hockey League direc.
tors, for the most part, were willing
to be patient with Bill Dwyer. But
he wanted the league to put another
pot of money into his Americans
and thus caused the big blowoff. Or,
at least, that is what the N. H. L.
directors are saying now that their
untidy tempest has subsidized. 1t
is estimated that cool two million
skins (Francis Albertanti, the A. B.
c. publicist, probably means dol
lars) will be spent during the Amer
lean Bowling Congress to be held in
New York from March IL to April
10. . Preston and Selby Burch, the
Washington horsemen who wind up
winning half of the races at Bowie
each year, are the most famous of
the turf's brother acts. Both of
them, incidentally, are international
figures, having trained abroad dur
ing the dark, reform-wave years
when New York outlawed racing
and the sport was dead in Maryland
and Kentucky.
Treasurer Jack Mackie of the
Professional Golfers association has
no worries about funds with which
to send the 1887 Ryder cup team
to England next June, since So, ,123

banks in various funds. Pitcher
Charles Gale Wolfe, purchased by
the White Sox from Omaha, is
nephew of Clarence Mitchell, for
mer National league spitballer.
Wolfe, whose home is in COwles,
Neb., has had only one season of
professional experience. C0e col

of football. DIR. George w. Bryant,
now executive vice president of the
college, and Moray L. Eby, present
gridiron chief, account for thirty
three years of coaching. Cobb
Lewis, one of Indiana's s most prom
Using freshman football players, has
returned to his home in BicknelI be-
cause of a weak heart. Minnesota
has ruled out all post season din
ners for athletes. Fairly convinc-
ing evidence of the liveliness of the
baseball now employed in the major
leagues is furnished by the hitting
done by the White Sox when they
won the American league pennant
in 1906 and that accomplished by
the Athletics, tailenders, in 1886.
Last season the Athletics made 1 ,443
hits, which exceeded by 313 the total
by the Sox 80 years previously.
