C 4 A Detroit follower of the turf who ¢ Marr ato a is notorious for the "winnings" he has garnered writes that he was trimmed several times when he first began to het on the races. A good title for his life history would be "From Fish to Shark." > Danie Bush of Detroit is making a tentative attempt to bat left-handed. It's great to be optimistic, but here's being it will be "back to the bush" for Donie if he continues his experiment for any length of time. A baseball player must have per- sonality if he wants to be popular with the fans, advises a sport writer. Similarly, a fan must have personality if he wants to get in right with the bal players, but he must keep it in his pocketbook. Dopesters doped "it out last yer that the Detroit Tigers would be the sensation of 1918 baseball. The pro- phets were right. A Detroit fan must experience a sinking sensation when he looks at the - American League team standing nowadays Fulton is in a fighting frame of mind because the big fight is called off It would be a great surprise if he were to get mad enough to join the .army.

Probably use of the ferocity with which are fighting to hold on to last place. A sportsman of the Detroit News laments the fact that Jim Corbett rished things too much in his fight with Jeffries eighteen years ago. Why lament so soon after the bout? Fight fans will probably be more interested to read stuff about the frav between Napoleon and the Iron Duke. + "Why Pennant - Bee in Chicago's Hat. The pennant bee is buzzing in Chicago and at present no gloom 'hovers over the Cubs' Park. Since the opening of the season the fans have been pinning their faith to Fred Mitchell's team, and the result of the three games with the Giants has strengthened their conviction that before October rolls around Mitchell will. be well in the lead for National League supermacy. IK the ease with which the Cubs have made a clean sweep of the series with their Giant rivals is to be taken as a criterion, the hopes 'of Chicago fandom seem to be justified.

A New York writer says: After the Hun has been humbled and the peace- loving peoples of the earth can retire for a night's slumber without danger of being awakened by the explosion of Boche bombs, there promises to be the greatest revival of boxing that ever has marked any branch of vig: orous sport. The obvious truth of this assertion .is the patent fact that nearly every soldier of the numerous training camps in America has had énough instruction in boxing by an expert to assure a knowledge of the science, or else to instill m him a lik- ing for the sport. The result is that when Uncle Sam's boys come marching home af- ter. hanging a K. O. on the Hun chin, there will be an army of boxers ready to contest for the titles in all classes, . There also will be an army of boxing enthusiasts who will be anxious to follow up the sport as spectators. ' «Bt is quite unlikely that there will he any further change in champion- ships during the progress of the war, for those titleholders who are boxing instructors will be kept extremely busy teaching the recruits during the remainder of the conflict. The cham- pions now .in the service, and who will go to the front--Pete Herman bantam, and Mike O'Dowd, middle- weight--will have their troublés held ing their titles at the close of the war, for they will lose form through long inaction, Kilbane, featherweight, and Leon- ard, Hghtweight champions, will also lose considerable of their form, even though they do a great deal of hard work in the camps The only titleholders who have done absolutely nothing for the cause are 'Willard. the heavyweight, and Kid Lewis, welter, It §s Questionable if either will be in lively demand at the close of the war z The ing champions when an Allied peace is declared are excellent, with the in dications that some of the new title- holders will he men who went over the top in the great combat over there. Crude Battle, }.. Ritchie, Wolgast, ¥apke, and many other boxers of German origin, have won laurels in the ring, but cham- pions of Teuton blood are of recent growth, and very scarce at that. The hirst German to try for a.champion. ship was Tom Juchau, a Prussian, who settled in London in the middle of. the eighteenth century. Juchau, known as "The Disher," claimed the championship of E ngland after he de- i feated George MillSoWi in 1763, but his pretensions were denied by Bill Darts, "The Dyer" The German and the Englishman were matched to battle for the title 152 years ago, May 21, 1766. The patrons of the sport hung up $5000, a big sum in those days. It was one of the foulest bouts ever fought. From the first Juchau resorted to all sorts of foul tactics, and Darts retaliated in kind, No attention was paid to rules by either man, but they were permitted to fight on, and Darts at length won the victory by planting a very low blow on the abdomen of the Ger- man. Juchau apparently disappeared after this contest, for the old records of /the ring contain no later refer- ences to him . He'll Know Better Now. A near-riot was prevented at the baseball game at Chicago on Satur- day by a Government agent who came to the rescue of a fan who refused to stand or take off his hat when the "Star Spangled Banner" was played, When several sailors and soldiers leaped at the offending fan, the agent took him in custody and led him away.

Some Managers Find Their "Tall Slims" are Regular "Aces." Some baseball managers, past and present, hive insisted that their box- men be above the average in height. "John MéGraw has 'belonged to this class, to his sorrow in 1914, when he saw one of his cast-offs, Dick Ru- dolph, who had been dropped from the Giants on account eof his small stature, lead the drive which resulted in the Braves beating the Giants to the wire by a substantial margin. But as a general rulé®the great pitchers have been men of the six- foot class. . Mathewson. Alexander, Johtison, Bender, Coombs, Plank, Reulbach, Ruth, and Vai gh are all right round six feet. AN were great pitchers: ] The great little pitchers in recent years have been rather. Scarce. Ed- die Cicotte, of 1917 warld's series fame; Dick Rudolph; Carl Bays, the submarine artist; Earl Hamilton, the 1918 National League sgnsation, and George Foster are the mest notewor- thy. These men have" been called diminutive, but none of them is un- der five feet nine, which 'in any other | line would be considered a fair height. This brings up the question of the super-pitchers -- those ranging far over six feet and their effectiveness, This story was suggested hy the fact that "Shim" Love of the Yanks is the most dependable of Huggins' boxmen this season. Love "stands half a foot over six feet, and when he stretches out his long left pitching arm he can almost tweak the batter's nose. Love is due to become one of the greats in the box game this season, if early indications do not miscarry, As brother string beaws on the same club, Love has Ray Caldwell, who measures about four inches over six fe and Monroe, an inch taller than | The Giants brag a couple of super- pitchers in Tesreau, six feet three inches, and Sallee, who admits the same height.

WILLARD WORTH $350,000. Did Not Lay Up a Dollar From Johnson Fight. When Jess Wiliard crawled through the ropes to fight Jack Johnson at Havana, April 5th, 1915, he. was flat broke. He didn't possess enough coin of the rgglm to pad tHe proverhial crutch] and he knew that if he lost he would have a tough' time getting back to the States ;and paying up debts that had accufulated. Less than three years later, last March, to be exagt, Willard was rated as the possessor of a fortune that fanged between $350,000 and $500. 0 | If this isn't a record for fortune- making, when it is considered that from the time he fated Johnson until the present day the big fellow has fought only 36 rounds, then ve 11 buy the cakes. Fistic champions of the past in all other divisions had a much 'harder time getting their money. They were not boosted to the position of challengers over night like Willard, And they had to keep fighting from time to time in order to cash in on the titles they had won. Willard's share for fighting Jack Johnson was supposed to have been $10.000, but expenses were so great that Willard did not get a dollar, ae- cording to both Tom Jones ind Jack Curley, his joint managers at the time. Then the big fellow "vodevilled" for a while at a fat salary, and. final ly, in 1916, he raked in $74000 for boxing Frank Moran ten rounds. So, if it 1s true that Willard was clean as a Thanksgiving bird when he left Havana, the money he got for fight- ing Moran is the only money he has earned with his fists. All the rest has theen realized by commercializing his title, A periscope putter will have more than one use.
