D) / them if he finds players 'who have natural ability and age willing to learn, Connie Mack has had the nerve to do what no other baseball man- ager has ever done: he tore a great machine to pieces and sent his stars to all cerners of the league. Then he deliberately set out to build from the ground up. The only reservation he made was to hang on to some of his young players of the championship machine for his nuc- leus for the other great machine he is making.

Johnny Ertle go asked Tortorich for a chance against Kid Herman, Frankie Burns or Kid Williams in twenty rounds. FOR PRESIDENT OF N.H.A. A 4 Major Frank Robinson Likely to be the Choice. Latest advices from Quebec state that it is prore than possible now that Major Frank Robinson, former own- er of the Toronto Hockey Club, will be president of the National Hockey Association * this season, honorary president in fact. This in a measure would be carrying out the idea of having a person who is sufficiently interested in hockey to take the po- sition with renumeration and. has experience in the professional game, and who at the same time has ex- perience in ruling men. It is under- stood that Quebec, the two Torynto clubs, and the Canadiens, are heartily in faver of trying to get him to accept the post. Should he allow his name to be proposed for the honorary position it is hoped that Harvey Pulfcrd can he prevailed upon to again accept the position of principal referee.

B, Johnson, president of the American League, that the @uilty players probably would have to contribute to the treasury of the Natignal Commission.

One of the chief advantages of a national association in control of box- ing is the authority such an organi- zation would have over the cham- pions of the different classes. Under the rules as enforced in England by "the National Sporting Club of London, the French Federa- tion of Boxing of Paris and the Aus- tralian Boxing Association of Aus- tralia, champions must defend their titles once every six months or for- feit to bone fide challengers These foreign boxing assoclitions also set the weights at which * the championship bouts in the various classes shall be contested, and also make the rules under which the bouts are fought. As the weights in the three coun- tries named are uniform "and the rules practically the same, there is uniformity, and international matches ave easv to arrange.
