ASHVILLE, TENN., Feb. 27
N Manager Bill Scnwartz, of the
Vols, has received a pair of 30
lar plexus jolts during the past few
days., Just as he was beginning to
celebrate the signing of Eddie Miller,
ate of the St. Louls Browns along
comes President Bob Hedges and says
he has sent the slugging infielder to
Louisville, f
Bill had just begun to don the crape |
for Miller when he recelved a letter
trom Dolly Stark from ‘way out on |
the Coast which said that the ex-,
Memphis shortstop was Sorry, but
that he couldn’t see his way clear to |
come to the malaria-ridden South. |
Dolly. didn’'t have a thing to say about |
salary, that being a minor feature
with him, but gently informed thol
local magnates that he couldn't see
the local club. |
Thusly is the youthful Nashville |
manager's dream of a perfect mnv\d!
shot full of holes. Bill had already
figured Miller on second, playing
alongside Doliy Stark on short, with
Paulette on first and Dodge in :Ilni
last corner. Just by way of hrim:inzJ
a little sunlight into the Vol (‘llmp,{
President Clyde Shropshire went over
to Little Rock to attend the funeral
obsequies of the late President Kav- |
anaugh and while there he and Man- |
ager and President Bob Allen got to
gether and sold and traded between
themselves. President Shropshire
emerged from the deal with Howard
Baker, an inflelder, and a pitcher
named MclLeod, with Montgomery last }
geason. Allen received Frank (Hhsun.‘
a catcher, who has been on the Vol |
staff for some time. |

Joe Choynski Was Hard Puncher
Always Gave Away Much Weight
o mnhr i "No; li——-).lo‘en(;ho;mkx‘ T Y
By Tad.
OURTEEN years ago this month,
F in Galveston, Texas, Joe
Choynski, the California Chry
santhemum, knocked out Jack John
son in three rounds, and as a reward
was put in the c¢ooler for breaking the
law,
Johnson told the writer a few years
#go, in speaking of that affair, that
he wasn't the least bit sorry when tne
Sherlff jumped into the ring, because
ihe thought the top of his brain had
i been knocked elean off.
| Choynski was born in San Francis
jco, November 8, 1868, and although he
f{murht the biggest and best men of
jhis time, was never lucky enough to
3grab a titlee He was a bit shy on
weight, always scaling 165 or there
].-abnutp. and often fighting men such
jas Jeffries, who tipped the beam at
220,
! Choynski started his career in the
‘hurg by the Golden Gate, and was
{amateur champion at the time Jim
Corbett was leaching the boys at the
Olympie Club the trick of hitting and
getting away. The pair lived in
Hayes Valley, a part of Frisco, and
were rivals, both having plenty of
!brothers who helped the thing along.
» - -
QCORBETT and Choynski fouiht four
times, Corbett winning three of
the events. Their third contest was a
private affair, which was stopped by
the Sheriff.
The best of the quartet of battles,
and, according to Billy Delaney, the
lbest fight he ever saw, was the one on
a barge at Benicia, some miles from
Frisco. It was a grudge affair, and on
the side each man backed himself for
SI,OOO. Corbett wore two-ounce bag
punching gloves, while Choynskl,
| whose gloves had been lost in some
mysterious manner, wore ordinary
driving gloves,
¥For 27 rounds they fought as no
hulldogs ever tore at one another.
Both were cut and bruised, and
(Choynski had been fighting with a
hroken nose since early in the battle.
C'orbett broke both his hands in the
fifteenth round, and from then on
fought with his palms, hitting as well
las he could with the heel of his mitts.
In the twenty-seventh round Choyn
ski was so weak from loss of blood
that Corbett with his “Wreck of the
Hesperus” left pushed rather than hit
his opponent on the chin.and Joe
dropped for the fatal ten.
C‘hovnski was far from through
| with the game then, though, and came
back and fought the best there was.
* . -
J'IM JEFFRIES declared in New
York that it was Joe who nalled
him with the hardest punch he ever
felt. The blow hit Jeff in the mouth
and drove his lips between his teeth.
Billy Delaney, his manager, had to cut
the lips away from the teeth with his
knife between rounds, That was In a
twenty-round affair in Friocs, which
was refereed by Jim McDonald, a
well-known baseball umpire.
In telling of the bout Choynski said
that at one time during the fight,
thinking that Jeff might break his
hands if he hit him on the head, Joe
deliberately walked into a 42-inch
Howitzer left. But instead of Jeff's
hands breaking, Joe hit the floor for a
count of eight.
i McDonald figured that the knock
down won the fizht for Jeffries, and
!at the end of the twentieth round held
up the boilermaker’s paw. Choynski
|asked McDonald if the only thing he
{could see was a home run.
i- * .
,OLD freckled Bob Fitzsimmons wass
| another man who never stopped
| talking about the wr\nde(;ful kick
packed by Choynski. He ought Joe
a six-round thing once in Boston and
ibarely weathered the storm. In the
fifth round Chpynski nailed the Cor
nishman on the chin with his right
and the air was immediately filled
with freckles, while their owner re
posed on the canvas. Fitz was S 0
dazed that he says he thought up was
down and down was up, and kent try
ing to push his bald knob through the
bottom of the ring. He was n-rx“\n
also that the balconles had fallen™in,
At the count of nine hé was on his
feet and got away with it but he
couldn’t tell pepper from sait for three
weeks.
Chavnski finished up his career in
Philadelphia when he boxed Jack
Willlams, a newcomer. Joe was very
wild, but earnest. That was a!l that
could be sald He knew then that
when he couldn’t handie a new hick
he was through as a fighter
He helped condition Jim Jeffries for
that Reno thing and since then has
been conducting a boxing school in
Pittsburg. ‘

N one of my previous articles |
I mentioned the general Ignorance
of the rules of golf that pre
valls among American payers, and 1
would like to emphasize to-day the
necessity of playing real golf and not
& hybrid game born of carelessnass
and ignorance. It seems to me that
we should make a determined effort to
extend a knowledge of the rules Je
yond a small circle of golf officlals and
ll few lawvers who always make a
point of acquainting themselves with
the laws that reguiate all sorts of
Thuman conduct.
I do not speak of “counting wrong.”
for that is cheating. 1 simply mean
habitual violation in good faith 11
the rules of the game. [ can recall
several instances where I have lost
important matches through my oppo
nent's disregard of the rules, and I
have often wondered how many vic
tories in average matches were the
result of playing something that was
slot golf.
- - -
THERE is a fine spirit in golf; it is
a gentleman's game, and many
players do not like to “call” another in
a friendly match, and in this way bad
habits are confirmed. Of course, in
big matehes it is the duty of the offi- |
clals to see that the rules are ob
served. We all know that an argu
ment along such lines is disastrous to
the scores of both players. |
Therefore, let us begin the golf sea. l
son of 1915 with a firm determlm-‘
tion to play the game right. Let us
all learn the rules, Know our Own|
position, and if we violate one taxe
‘the penalty upon ourselves. We lhould]
net allow ourselves to follow any
rule that suits our convenlence and.
delude ourselves into the belles that
‘we are playing golf when we are do
ing something entirely different. It
s decidedly better to play REAL golt
than to win many cups, and our op
ponents will learn to bless us. I am
afrald now the knowing ones fre
quently do the other thing. |

E VERY interesting little green book
has come my way recently. It Is
written by Ernest A. Baughman, &
‘well-known Chicago golfer, and it is
entitled “How to Caddie.” It is fillad
!\\'ith timely and useful advice for the
schoolboy who is anxious to earn a
little vacation money in a healthful
way out of doors. When they read
the booklet 1 am sure that golfers and
caddies alike will feel that they owe!
er' Baughman a debt of gratitude, for
‘h is only too true that “A poor cad
dle is worse than none at all,” for the
player is very much at the mercy of
his caddle, while the little fellow him- |

Jon BEAN is due in Atlanta Mon
day. With his arrival regular
baseball practice will be in order. Not
much work can be done for the first
two weeks, as the second-term exam
inations are on, and It is very essen
tial that all the men pass thelr work.
This will work a hardship on the team
as the early game with Georgetown
promises to be one of the hardest on
the schedule.
Until Bean has the opportunity to
look over the squad and get It to
working smoothly It is impossible to
form a correct estimate of the team’s
prospective strength.
‘ Only two men will be lost through
graduation—Ginn and McWhorter.
Both are ex-captains and former All-
Southern players. They will be sore
ly missed, for in every department
of play they were star performers.

The men who win their places can
hardly be expected to measure up te
