Won Cramm match mere formality
The Grant-Henkel match figured to
be 'cat-and-dog" affair, with the
diminutive American holding a slight
edge because OF his great retrieving
ability. Although beaten in straight
sets by Won Cramm, Grant played
brilliant tennis, at times returning
seemingly impossible shots.

In spite of Chappie's stolen

Of the season.
As matter Of fact. We still think
that young Almada who is just q
baby yet in big league company, may
be the fellow to finally show whether
Washington or Boston got the better
Of the deal. Ahead Of Almada. unlike
the Ferrells. Chapman and Newsom,
lies the future. II he can develop

Champions in Making.

THE 2-year-olds seldom settle any,
thing in their freshman year and
1885 was no exception. The young
sters are of special interest, for they
are the coming greats which will COM
pete in the Kentucky Derby, Freak
ness, Belmont and classic stakes of
next Summer. There are Reaping Re-
ward. Brooklyn, Pompoon, Privileged,
Bottle Cap, Case Ace and Orientalist,
to name only few, which stood out
ut one time or another. Next years
division of 3-year-olds will require a
lot of settling to determine the cham
pion, and We hope to do 1t in the
Derby.
Use Of the camera to settle the close
finishes came into almost general use
during the year, with three types of
"eye" IN favor. Lincoln Fields intro
duced an innovation by raising the
placing judges to give them a better
perspective of each finish.
We look forward to even more i'm
provements and progress during the
coming year. True, there are rough
spots. First, lack of grade A handi-
cap horses to supply the increased
number of tracks with the highest
possible competition. Next, there is
q lack of top-notch jockeys to ride
the 10000 or so thoroughbreds which
are under colors each season. These
problems will be solved only with time.
Meanwhile. more extensive plans are
being formulated for 1887. Prospects
are looking up for improved racing.
Purses will continue to be raised and
the standard of racing will be higher
everywhere.

Taylor Impressive in Fifth.

RUCKY captured the first. fourth
~ and fifth rounds in the close and
hectic argument, enjoying his most
devastating moments in the fifth
frame when he nailed Joey with three
damaging rights. Straiges retaliated,
however, by taking the last three
rounds.
The Stars score sheet showed
Straiges winning five rounds and Tay-
lor annexing three, with joey ahead
by one and one-half points. The
decision was unanimous.
The preliminaries were the finest
of the indoor season. In the eight
round semi-final. Eddie McGeever,
Scranton welterweight, pulled his
swarthy frame of the floor in the first
round to earn a draw with Sid Silas,

first-grade fighting men are gone for
there are few of them hanging around.
John Henry Lewis, the Phoenix
Negro who holds the light-heavy-
weight title. stands practically alone
IN his division and may cast his lot
denitely among THE heavyweights be-
fore the year is over. He already has
declared his eagernes to fight Joe
Louis, but has received no encourage
ment from that quarter.
There are two middleweight
champions. Freddy Steele in
this country and Marcel Thil in
Europe. 1t would be . good
trick to bring them together
If somebody could do 1t.
But Steele sticks close to the North
west and so far nobody has been able
to lure him. even to New York, while
Thil turks in Paris, beating OF all in
vaders. Steele apparently is a very
good fighter-maybe the best to hold
the middleweight title in long while
The division has been active of late,
but none of the contenders has domi-
mated the others.
Harry Balsamo was punching his
way into spot where he would have
been the logical choice as an opponent
for Steele in a big outdoor fight next
Summer, but Balsamo was beaten
badly by Babe Risko and knocked out
by Solly Krieger and it isn't likely
that Risko or Krieger could fill an
outdoor arena with Steele. Or beat
him either, for that matter.

.F0URNIER TO HANDLE
BROWNS FARM CLUB
Minor Outfit Former Card Will
Pilot Not Yet Picked-Stis
on Coaching Staff.
By the Associated press

By the Associated Press
CT. LOUIS, January 12.-Jack Four
nier. the Cardinals slugging first
baseman of the early zoos" has been
signed by the st. Louis Browns to
work in their organization as manager
of one of their minor league clubs,
Manager Bill de Witt has announced.
Fournier played for score of years
in professional base ball, opening his
career with Aberdeen in the North
western League IN 1908 and closing it
a decade ago after dozen seasons with
the White Sox, Yankees. Cardinals and
Dodgers. He came to the Cardinals in
1920.
De Witt said it has not been deter
mined to which club Fournier will be
assigned.
If the number of scouts have any
thing to do with base ball success, the
Browns should "go places" in the fu-
ture. The team has added fifth
member to its scouting staff-Charles
Sits, who formerly hunted ivory for
the Phillies and the White SoX.
Sits also had coached Kemper Mil
itary Academy at Boonville, Mo-; man.
aged Peoria, ILL.,, and Springfield, Mo-,
and umpired in the Western and Sally
Leagues. He was second-baseman
with the old ST Louis Federals in 1914.
