This Cochranes second appearance in the ring since

CHATTERIN' on the
National Sports Sidewalk

At last. II seems that the matter
of colored baseball players getting
a tryout with team OF the white
major league has been straighien-
ed out. You will recall some weeks
ago. the white press carried stories
to the effect that three colored
players would be given a chance
with the Pittsburgh Pirates, OF the
National league, in their game OF
August 3. A few days later, the
manager OF the Pittsburgh team de-
MED that any date had been set
however he said that the colored
boys selected would be given a try
out, at later date. August 3 came
THAT date has also gone. without
any colored faces showing up with
the Pittsburgh nine, so Il seems
that some newspaper men must
have been In a hurry and di1 not
wait to get the whole truth about
what the manager OF the Pittsburgh
Pirates had said about giving base
ball players of your race a chance.
So here Is the final decision.
Four colored stars from the Negro
National league have been selected
for tryouts with the Pittsburgh ~.
rates Of the National league. They
are Josh Gibson. and outiieIdcr
Sammy Bankhead. Of the Homestead
Grays and ,sh0rtstop, Willie Wells
and pitcher, Leon Day Of the Newark
Eagles. All Of these stars took
part in the recent East-west game
In Chicago which drew n crowd Of
$4,000 fans.
According 10 reports the tryouts
will not take place until after the
close OF the season as Bob Price.
Pirate farm director who will SUI
pervise them, is busy with farm
teams.
Let's hope that every one who
can aid the major white leagues In
including c0lored baseball players
In their contracts for 1913 will do
20. There's no reason why we
should not be represented as other
nationalIties, and stilI support our
own leagues.
The proposed baseball series be-
tween the Detroit Tigers and
group of colored baseball stars
sponsored by a local newspaper
man seems TO be gaining attention.
II Is further stated that this series
OF games would be played here In
Detroit In the early part OF Octo-
bed. Your columnIst wishes the nan
who IL behind this idea all the sue
cess and also that when the pro-
poeed games are over. Mr.. Jack
zeller. general manager OF the

that there are colored baseball
players qualified 10 make the

who was runner-up after a two-day
match in which the first day ended
In draw.
After the hrst round OF play this
year, the Beefers are beginning TO
say that Bickham is the man TO
beat. He is well known among ANA
teur golfers in the City OF Detroit.
He has been vice president OF the
Beefers for the past two years.
Some have asked the question why
he wasn't in the running last year.
This was due TO the fact that the
tournament was played while Mr..
Bickham was spending his vaca-
tlon In the East.
The opening round probably indi-
Gates that the tough competition Of
fered by Hendricks last year will
be supplied by Bickham this year.
Among the up-sets that took place
were James Williams defeat OF
George Taylor. Eddie Richardson,
a new Beefers' defeat OF George
Gaines. Some OF the boys refer TO
Eddie as tho dark horse o. the tour
nament. There are others who point
TO Kimbrough and Galloway as the
ones who bear watching.

Decision To
Carmen Notch
By JESSE t. HAUGABooK


Detroit fight fans proved that
they will patronize good fight
card by turning out $500 strong 10
pay gross gate OF 81, 500 to witness
the double windup at Arena Gar
dens as Chalky Wright. New York
Boxing commissions version of the
featherweight champion OF the
world. won bv technical knockout
over Joe Marinelli. of Dayton, Ohio.
in the second round and Carmen
Notch Pittsburgh welterweight
won a popular decision over Lew
jenkins. former lightweight champ
lon Of the world, last Friday night,
Aug. 2S.
Right from the start MarlnellI
proved that he was no match for
the champion. He was down for
the count of nine once in the first
and twice in the second before the
final knockdown.
The final knockout came in the
second round as Wright landed a
right to the body and Marinel,i
dropped TO his hands and knees and
called II quits. This exhibition or
the part of Marinelli proved that he
did not want to fight. A fighter
with a record as good as Marlnel-
lis should have put up a much bet
ter fight than he did. Wright, on
tho other hand seemer to be in ton
fighting condition and proved II by
dropping the Dayton youngster with
a couple OF his Sunday punches.
In the other part OF the double
bill Lew jenkins, the Sweetwater,
Texas Swatter. absorbed the left
jab OF his younger Pittsburgh OPP
ponent, Carmen North, too often
and. as result. lost the vote of the
referee Sam Hennessey to decide
the split vote OF the judges. Frank
Neville. who voted for Jenkins. and
Frank Fisher. who gave his vote In
favor of Notch.
This decision proved popular
with the fans. Every time Notch
scored good punch over Jenkins
there would be tremendous out
burst from the crowd.
There were no knockdowns In
this fight although Notch was stag
gercd with long right 10 the head
in the early part OF the first round.
Notch proved his mastery over Jen-
kins in the clinches by scoring with
short iabs 10 the head and mid-sec-
ton. In the closing rounds OF the
fight jenkins appeared to be firing,
as he threw long, sweeping right
hand punches from a crouching po-
sition.
Jenkins appeared only to fight in
spurts and appeared not to be In
the best lighting condition.
In one OF the preliminary bouts.
Alfred (Big Boy Brown. cousin OF
Joe Louis. scored three-round
knockout over 1.-TWO Ton" Tony
Giro, of Pittsburgh. Brown scored
two knockdowns over Giro in the
second round and one In the third
before finishing him OFF in the
fourth. Brown proved that his
good showing against Pat Comis-
ky, recently. was no fash In the
pan. by nattening his Pittsburgh OPP
ponent.
Manskill Driskell was knocked
out In the second round by Chuck
Hurst. OF Detroit, in another bout.
Driskell made poor showing in
this fight. being dropped with q
left to the head.
In the opening bout Johnny On
sky, OF Toledo. dropped Steve Ku-
lies, OF Detroit, for the count.
