NEW YORK, April 8. CUP)-
Freddie Archer, the nine-toed lar
ruper from Newark, shattered the
current calm on New York'S fistit
front by declaring, Beau Jack ain't
fightin' as good now as he v-uz when
I licked him tWicet.'
Fortunately there were no flies
working out on the poop deck OF
Stllman's gymnasium, because the
mouths of reporters popped wide
open at this statement. The sports
beagles were flabbergasted. Here
was a guy smearing clay on the
feet of fistianas idol.
Archer, a square shouldered,
stocky blond, with q slightly cauli-
flowered left ear, towelled the per-
spiration from his face, as he stood
beneath the punching-bag canopy,
and continued:
II been watchin' Beau Jack in all
his fights since 1 got outta the navy.
Sometimes he makes me so sick,
I get up and leave before the fights
over. He looked like a conner when
I gave him those two lickin's at st,
Nick's back in forty-one. But some
body tried to turn him into fancy
dan, an made clown outta him
just to make money. He doesn't hit
as hard as he used to- and he don't
know where his punches is goin'-
misses too much. An he burns his
self out with lotta waste motion
It's too bad; he mighta been a
good fighter

Restriction on
Deer Changed

SAN FRANCISCO, April 8. tUP)
Lifting of all military restrictions
on the 1914 California deer hunting
season was predicted Saturday by
George D. Miller, executive secre-
tary of the state fish and game
commission.
Miller said he had been Informed
by Col. C. x. Wing, of the ninth
service command at Salt Lake City,
that no military restrictions on
deer hunting are contemplated this
year.
Curtailment of deer hunting in
California for military reasons for
the past two years has led to an
unchecked increase in deer here's
and consequent damage to agricul-
tural crops, Miller said. An open
season on deer this year will anevi-
ate damage to farms, he predicted.

PITCHING LINEUP
On the pitching staff Mcclure of
the FLYERS looks like the best in
the league. Undefeated in play he
will likely start, but Beechey has
not announced his plans. Womack,
the Youngest pitcher in the league
was teamed up with other young
sters on the E. c. Merchants. He
has been a sensation all season.
He has speed. good curves and is
cool under fire. He has been an
excellent hitter around .3l5 or bet
ter. Les Flores, the war horse of
the TownieS, has had fair sea-
son. lacking occasional support,
the veteran was the best in the
league last year and is still a con-
tender. Around a 300 hitter is
this hurler. Eddie Beechey pitched
his Brawley team to several victor
les and is fine moundsman. He
was undefeated in five league
starts. Al WiStert of the Govern
ment camp is a giant pitcher who
won four out of five plus a no.
hitter to his credit. He is a heavy
hitter and has poled out many
homers over left field fences in
