April 19—Right off the -J -J“S mitt, let It be said that these statements are mathematically anil puglllstlcally accurate: Edward Irenaeus equals Gunboat. Smyth equals Smith. These things being admitted, the way is open to saying thut Edward Irenaeus Smyth—spelled S-m-y-t-h, remember. Is in town as Gunboat Smith. But he doesn’t belong to the Smiths—spelled S-in-i-t-li. Folk "t that Ilk can't claim him for their own. As a mater of family tree correct ness, this latest of tin 1 "hopes" who are yelling for a chance at that "black despair” Johnson, Is Gunboat SmYth. Edward Irenaeus—or Gunboat, whichever name you fight fans pre fer—had some Interesting things to put across In an interview I had with him He says there Is a dearth of piano movers and truck drivers in the land, ns all the huskies are quitting their jobs to Join the “white hope." brigade. Then for n knockout to the hopes of the. “hopes,” Edward Irenaeus shoved this one over: Smith Give* Rsal Dope. I am the man who can lick Johnson. I put the big black brute through the ropes—yes, sir. clean through the ropes— with a haymaker (see note be low) when I was his sparring partner several years ago. You betcher life 1 did, and I • an do It again. And having done It once, Is any man better quali fied to win back the heavy- — weight championship to the white rare than yours truly? (This Is the note: Edward Iren aeus says a “haymaker” is a wide swing if his trusty-busty strong right arm. Mr. SmYth says farmers make hay with similar slashing swings.) But this Isn't all that Edward irenaeus said.

Dobbs secured from the International League is best known to baseball fans as a member of McGraw’s Giants, and was for years a reliable twirler on Ills club. while there have been several mutes in baseball, there are only two that gained national prominence In the major leagues. These two were Dummy and Dummy Hoy. Taylor acquired his first experience as a member of an independent team at Decatur. Ill. His ability soon at tracted attention, and he was secure! by the New York Nationals. In the soring of 1903 he Jumped to the Cleve land club of the American League. He was sent to New Orleans a month ahead of the Cleveland team with Add!? Joss, Gochenauei and Ka i Mot? '. Armour was evidently afraLl some National League manager would kidnap them. Taylor. however, stayed but a short time with the Cleveland team, subsequently joining the New York team, from which he jumped. He Was Popular Player. Taylor, although deprived of spec. U and hearing, was one of the best Matured players In the profession, and possessed a keen sense of humor. His sign language aroused the rlflbilitios of players and spectators, but was not always taken in the same spirit by the umpires. One day in a game between Now York and Pittsburg, It started to rain while the New York club was in the lead. The rain, while it lasted, was heavy enough to make the grounds very wet, but did not last long enough for the umpire to decide to call the game. As usual, the New York pla> - ers entered a vigorous protest, but without avail, and the game was as sumed. Taylor had secured a pair of rubber boots somewhere, and final ly came out on tire field, picking out tHe dampest spots he could find, with the rubber boots on his feet. The umpire failed to see the humor, and Dummy was banished from the game. He was later given a short sus pension by tile president of the lea gue for his comedy stunt. That times have changed in base ball is shown by tlie fact that Arlie Latham pulled off a similar stunt hut succeeded in getting away with it. The team on which I ait ham was play- ing was in the lead one day and i; commenced to get dark, and requests wefr ina(it bj the team that the 9am be called, but the judge of the play couldn’t see it that way. One inning, when Lalham went to his position at third base, he carried a lantern with him and pretended to be looking for third base. The chances are that if a player pulled anything like that now the powers would give him the limit. \ Taylor Will Stick. Dobbs states that he will keep Tay lor. Dummy Hoy. the other mute who gained fame in the majors, was an outfielder and played with the Wash ington, Cincinnati and Louisville clubs in the National League B.*- ing a mute was about the only thing that could be held to be detrimen tal to Hoy's ability as* a player, as he could Hit. throw, run and held as well as any of his more fortuna c* brother outfielders.

Smith. C HICAGO, April 19.—Most amazing to fighters and fight fans is the training work being done by the big wrestlers who are to meet in the Coliseum next week In what Is termed a match for the world's title, a little conceit on the part of the management to which nobody appears to object serjotisly. Perhaps the average layman knows only in a general way about the training methods of fighters, hut there isn't one man in 100 who wouldn't gasp in astonishment to learn that one of these wrestlers be lieves in plenty of fluids as a diet and drinks somewhere around two gallons of liquids a day! That is exactly the case with Zbyszco. the irnght} Polish athlete, who Is regarded as one of the greatest of the foreign stars and who doubtless is capable of giving any man living a beating on the mat— nearly. * * * T HE average trainer of a fighter wouid be horrified to have his man dispose of anywhere near that amount of stuff during the course of twenty-four hours. Hut the training method of the fighter and the routine and detail adopted by the wrestler of the day are at vast variance, one system making the other smile with ill-concealed ridicule. Not only does Zbyszco believe that his method is entirely correct in his own particular case. but. he sees in it much virtue for others. And others are following out his idea,‘too. so that (he wrestling method of training during these strenuous days may be set down as strictly "wet.” Mind you. this word is not used in ihe ordinary sense and made to cover beer and other alcoholic drinks. The Pole eschews them strictly. Milk and vichy form his entire liquid diet—and, believe me. he can make a milk can look mighty tired after he gets a good shot at it. The can stands no more chance with him than would Humid Kalla Pasha. • * * * O NE gallon of vichy and a gallon or more of milk daily puis the Pole in his best condition, to. hear him tell it., and is one of the real reasons why Zbyszco. In common with other wrestlers who follow his system, can wrestle every night in the week, with long railroad jumps in between, and not only live, but actually thrive under it. Fighters must go through that harrowing process of drying out on the day of a fight in order to get most of the liquid out of their systems and reach the weight required. Wrestlers of the heavyweight variety never have any worries of this sort. This is the main reason, according to the studious Pole, why wrestlers last for years after a fighter has completely outlived his ring usefulness. * * * I T IS not at all uncommon for Zbyszco to lose from ten to fifteen pounds of weight during the course of a heavy bout, lasting perhaps an hour. Yet he does this without weakening himself and usually is just as strong and active at the finish of the bout as he was when time was first called. Fighters have marveled at this wonderful display of endurance and stamina, especially when it is done night in and night out, week after week. Now they have the solution of the whole thing from one of the greatest living exponents of the eatch-as-catch-can game. * • » F I RTHER, the Pole believes this vast amount of liquid keeps his blood in the best of condition, nourishes him thoroughly, and while he eats with tremendous heartiness, he asserts freely that he couldn't do what he does during a wrestling season unless he fairly flooded his system with fluids. But, remember that the Pole doesn't ever look upon the amber when it is bright and foamy and cannot see liquor or wines at all as a neces sary part of an athlete's regime. Which should get the Prohibition yote for Ihe big fellow, if nothing more. P rep League News and Notes.

I N all my wanderings about the British Isles and at all the tourna ments I attended w hen abroad, I cannot remember ever to have seen a solitary player at practice. Of course, 1 have seen a man swing his clubs time and again, without hit ting the ball, before starting out, but when 1 speak of practice I mean taking a number of balls and one club and trying that and then an- other club and so on; or going' out to. some difficult hole and trying to play it in a certain way. This sort of practice has a very definite aim and has meant unlimited good to me and I do not well see how I could have developed my game without it. Britons Surpass Americans. To be sure, of late year# l have noi been able to keep up the regular practice of my school.days, but that is always a matter of regret. But the Briton does not practice, to mv knowledge, in this sense of the word, and yet the average British player is very much better than the aver age American. Whether the fine British players had graduated from th<* practice class at the time 1 met them I do not know. Certainly there was very fine playing and an apparently total lack of practice. Not only is this true, but I have discovered that the British player really looks down on any one who gets out and practices with the sole intent of winning. 1 have heard they disliked a cer tain famous American from the start because he did not play much, but went out and practiced silently and constantly before the big competi tion. Perhaps they thought it looked too much like business, and it is just here that national characteristics show most strongly. Englishman Solemn Player. The Englishman seems never lo think of his business when bent on recreation, but he takes the game it self with astounding solemnity. The American finds it difficult to get his mind away from his business, but he play# his game with cheerfulness, not to say frivolity.
