Martin Phelan, first base candidate, has

Manager Hemphill.
Phelan made the mistake of reporting
too late to have any chance of beating
Earl Sykes out of his job. More than
that, he has shown no especial class.
When the local club tried to get rid of
him they found that nobody wanted him
and rather than carry him longer they
decided to let him out cold, which they
have done.

yourself a “white hope" and
start singing his praises.
The fight fan who isn't boosting
some big fellow seems mighty
lonesome these days.
Perhaps this is one of the re
sults of the matching of Jim Flynn
with Jack Johnson, or it may have
been brought about by the arrival
of spring, or there may be some
other cause for it. but the fact re
mains that not only the woods but
the plains and the prairies seem
to be fill’d with the big fellows
who aspire to attain a place of
prominence In the fistic world.
