W HERE are the ring “sluggers" of yesterday—the men who could drop a right against the chin, or drive a left to the body and call it a day’s work? • The "killer’’ has disappeared along with the lightning rod, horse car and Republican vote. In his place we have the clever boxer, scientific, but punchless, remarkably fast on his feet, but over careful with his hands. When Ad Wolgajt hit the derailing switch he left the lightweight title in the hands of a young man With but five "K’s" in his whole record. And this young man, since having the championship wished on him, has done nothing but take a daily decis ion over a T-bone steak, and practice the toe dance. It’s the same wav all along the line, from the bantam babes to toe bull neck heavies.

After Hie first week of the invasion of file East by the Western clubs of the National I .ean'uo, one thinx is very apparent. The East, as a whole, is stronger Ilian (lie West lliis year, but that does not necessarily indicate .the pennant winner will be a product of the East. At first, it was thought there would be only two clubs in the East that could put up any kind of a front against the Western teams which were rated to lie strong. These two were New York and Philadelphia, but now Brooklyn has conic through with the be'st-looklng team that has been developed in years across the bridge. Boston is also playing good enough ball. * * * • I WANT to pause for a minute to discuss Boston and Pittsburg.

CA May 12 The A morions ball team left yesterday for Way cross in charge of First Baseman Hal Grit!ln as temporary manager. Thoroughly tired of continued defeat sustained bv the Americus aggrega tion. the directors met this morning and relieved Manager Ilarrv Weber of that office, temporarily at least, putting Griffin in charge. Americas has lost seven of the nine games played already, and while Manager Weber ascribes defeat to bad luck, local fans are less char itably inclined, ft is generally sus pected here that the salary limit rule is not being observed by all of the dubs of the league, and as Americas is living within the salary limits she is placed at disadvantage in employ ment of proficient players. Ill luck of the Americus team re cently has caused interest in base ball to tlag perceptibly, although a winning streak would quickly restore enthusiasm. WILLIAMS AND BETCHER WILL JOIN LOOKOUTS CIlATTANOOiiA. TKNN. May 12 Manager Klbvrfokl announced last night that he had secured Third Baseman Williams from the Montreal '■iuh and Outfielder BeuTier from the Newark club. Both players will re port immediately. they come. He is constructing; and out of the twisted mass of baseball junk which he took over at the lie ginning of the season, he is going to have a smooth-running machine soon. The Boston club, although many good hitters have resided on the team from time to time, has long been the victim of its own sluggishness. Stallings is trying to add a little speed to liis club. He realizes its value. With this notion in mind, he went out and sign ed Mann to play in the outfield. Stal lings thinks tlie boy will make a great. I>1111 player if given time. “He’s the fastest, man in baseball,” the “Chief ’ told us when we were in Boston in the early part of the sea son. and lie wasn’t punning on the name, either. • * * S TAI,LINES lias also picked up “Dick” Rudolph, the pitcher of the International League, and once a member of the (Hauls for a brief lieriod. • Rudolph will win a lot of games for Stallings. Then there is a different spirit manifested by the elnli now, whieli is a reflection of tlie Stal lings style. When the game gets hard, the lmys jlo not abandon the pursuit of victory and blow up as former Bos ton teams did. No, sir. It is in there fighting, as proved by the fact they took two extra inning games from the I’irates last week, with Wagner iii botli battles, * • • A BOUT the Pittsburg club, I do not know what to say. I have not seen the team play this year so far. hut from the gossip in the league and the box scores, it is evident that, the club is all off its balance. The return of Wagner is going to help the team a whole lot. but Clarke’s great est disappointment is the failure of Iris pitchers to come through. Before the season, tlie Pittsburg pitching staff was regarded as one of the best In the league, if not the very best, both by the players themselves and by the newspaper writers who follow tilt* teams. Many times bull players will approve a man whom tlie gen eral public and the writers cannot see. For instance. Fletcher, formerly the shortstop of the Giants, was gen erally rated more highly by ball play ers than by the general public and writers. They know liis ground-cov ering ability, and lie lias the finest pair of bands 1 ever saw on a ball player. B I T, to return to the Pittsburg si,'unhung slugging they were to ride through the league to an early iien- nant, because even tlie members of tlie club themselves concede that the team lacks speed. But the pitchers would hold the opposing teams to one or two runs, and the Pittsburg boys would pile up many with their bats, and there would lie a nice little bail game for Mr. Clarke ail wrapped up in cotton batting and tin foil to lie put in the moth balls. However, tlie pitchers have been permitting many runs, and the batters have not lieen slugging: and the race is not de stroyed yet. “The Pirates condition slowly. Wait until the warm weather sets in,” a Pittsburg rooter whispered into my car the other day. It will do the team little good to round into form along in September. It is my honest opinion that the club is going to get on tlie move one of these days and kick up a lot of dust. It yet will be a trouble-maker in the league, because those pitchers are sure to liegin to twirl and the bat ters to hit. Therefore, it pleases the Giants immensely to see the Pirates crowded down as far ns possible at this stage, especially as we are not up any too high in tlie ladder of the club standing ourselves.

Referee Usually Correct ^••4* *«••+ •$•#•£ v* *r* Defends Charley Eyton D' By Otto C. Floto. ENVER, May 12.—Voicing their opinions. That’s the privilege of every gathering where box ing bouts are decided. Yet how of ten have we found the great major ity in error while taking issue with the judge who renders the decision. Many and many a time have I seen the third man in the ring absolutely correct in his judgment, and yet the crowd howled its disapproval. Then also have I seen the referee quite wrong and t{ie crowd give him greac applause for the verdict. It’s all the way you look at it; it’s the angle from which you view the content. And yet with it all 1 11 wager that the man In the ring is more often correct than the crowd seated about the arena. The official in the in closure is generally one supposed to know the game, the tricks, advan tages that score points and every thing else that becomes necessary to make him a fair and impartial judge. For that reason he is better able to reach a correct verdict than the out sider, who conies only on occasions to view' the fights, and who nine times out of ten is prejudiced. Of course, when an incompetent man officiates, then our argument is dashed to the ground—we are left without a leg to stand upon. * * « UOW many times have you sat at * 1 the ringside when one man’s friends seemed in the majority? You’ve seen thi** favorite beaten a mile, and yet the referee, for fear of adverse criticism, either calls the bout a “draw” or awards the deci sion to the man whose friends are shouting for him and yet who failed White City Park Now Open to win. I've seen this occur time and again, and so have you. Just now Charley Eyton of Los Angeles is being “panned" for call ing the Dundee-Kilbane bout a draw. The press reports tell us that the verdict was unpopular and that Kil- bane won. Perhaps so. But we have always found Eyton quite cor rect in his decisions. For years he has officiated in Los Angeles, and no complaint has been heard. He may have erred this time for all we know. But wait until the smoke of battle clears away and you'll find that his verdict wasn’t so far amiss. That, at any rate, is my guess. • * ¥ T F the verdict was not in accord- A ance with the facts, then Kilbane has but himself to blame. His stal ling tactics are quite unbecoming for a champion and have got him in bad in the East until his last fight, when he redeemed himself with a knock-, out and regain some of his standing. A champion is supposed to carry the brunt of the battle. If he allows his opponent to assume the aggres sive from start to finish, how can he hope to gain the favor of the referee? Isn’t the fellow who rushes the bat tle and makes it possible for the spectators to see real action entitled to something? GANDIL’S FOOT IS BRUISED.
