Browns Decide to Send Miller to
Louisville—Dolly Stark Re
fuses to Come South.
ASHVILLE, TENN., Feb. 27.- 1
Manager Bill Schwartz, of the |
Vols, has received a pair of so- 1‘
lar plexus jolts during the past few
days. Just as he was beginning to
celebrate the signing of Eddle .\lillnr.!
late of the St. Louls Browns, along |
comes President Bob Hedges and says
he has sent the slugging infielder Lui
Louisville. |
Bill had just begun to don the crape
for Miller when he recelved a letter
from Dolly Stark from 'way out oni‘
the Coast which said that the ex-
Memphis shortstop was SOITY, but |
that he couldn’t see his way clear to
come to the malaria-ridden Sou;h.‘
Dolly didn’'t have a thing to say about |
salary, that being a minor feature |
with him, but gently informed the‘
Jocal magnates that he couldn't see |
the local club.
Thusly is the youthful Nashville
manager's dream of a perfect infield
shot full of holes. Bill had already
figured Miller on second, p‘.xw.yim;l
alongside Dolly Stark on short, with |
Paulette on first and Dodge in Ihui
last corner. Just by way of bringing
a little sunlight into the Vol camp,
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 infielder, and a ph.cherl
named Mcleod, with Montgomery last
season. Allen recelved Frank Gibson,
a oatcher, who has been on the Vol
staff for some time. |

At No. 11—Joe Choynski.
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’
y;:: put in the cooler for breaking the
| . |
~Johnson told the writer a few years
ago, in speaking of that affair, that
he wasn't the least bit sorry when the
Sheriff jumped into the ring, because
he thought the top of his brain had
been knocked clean off.
Choynski was born in San Francis
co, November 8, 1868, and although he
fought the biggest and best men of |
his time, was never lucky enough to
grab a title. He was a bit shy on/
weight, always scaling 165 or there
abouts, and often fighting men such
f:?o.le{t‘rieu. who tipped the beam at
Choynski started his career in the
burg by the Golden Gate, and was
amateur champion at the time Jim
Corbett was teaching the boys at thel
Olympic Club the trick of hitting nnd‘
getting away. The pair lived lin
Hayes Valley, a part of Frisco, and .
wers rivals, both having plenty ot}
brothers who helped the thing nlonl'.i
- . - \
C()RBETT and Choynski fought 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
best fight he ever saw, was the one on
a barge at Benicia, some miles from
Trisco. It was a grudge affair, and on
the side each man backed himself for.
SI,OOO. Corbett wore two-ounce bag
‘punching gloves, while Choynski,
whose gloves had been lost in some
‘mysterioms manner, wore ordinary
driving gloves.
For 27 rounds they fought as no
bulldogs ever tore at .one another.
Both were cut and bruised, and
Chovnski had been fighting with a
broken nose since early In the battle.
Corbett broke both his hands in the
fifteenth round, and from then on
fought with his palms, hitting as well
as he could with the heel of his mitts.
In the twenty-seventh round Choyn
ski was so vgvevak 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.
Chovnski was far from through
mith the game then, though, and came
back and fought the b.eat there was.
- -
J’!M 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.
’ MeDonald figured that the knock
down won the fight for Jeffries, and
'ut 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.
' . - -
OLD freckled Bob Fitzsimmons was
another man who never stopped
| talking about the wonderful kick
Ipacked by Choynski. He fought Joe
{a gix-round thing once in Boston and
barely weathered the storm. In the
fifth round Choyneki 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 so
dazed that he says he thought up was
down and down was up, and kept try
ing to push his bald knob through !ha'
bottom of the ring. Heé was certain
also that the balconies had fallen in
At the count of nine he was on his
feet and got away with it, but he
couldn’t tell pspper from salt for three
weeks.
Choynski finished up his career In
Philadelphia when he boxed Jack
Williams, a newcomer. Joe was very
wild, but earnest. That was all that
could be sald. He knew then that
when he couldn’'t handle 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.

Whitney, by his victory, proves that
he is ecapable of swinging the padded

by the grleat battle he put up, deserves
a return bout with his conqueror. Jake
would be foolish to quit the game. With
a few weeks' training under his belt he

A By “CHICK" BVANE T
N one of my promuuflchli
I mentioned the general lgnorance
of the rules of golf that pre
valls among American players, and I
would like to emphasize to-day the
necessity of playing real golf and not
& hybrid game born of carelessnass
and lgnorance. It seems to me that
we should make a determined effort to
extend a knowledge of the rules de
yond a smail circle of golf officials and
& few lawyers who always make a
‘polm of acquainting themselves with:
the laws that regulate all sorts of
human conduct.
I do not speak of “counting wrong,”
for that is cheating. I simply mean
habitual violation in good faith f
the rules of the game. [ can recall
several instances where | 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 wege the
result of playing something that was
not goif.
- &9
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 matches it is the duty of the offi- |
cials 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.
son of 1915 with a firm determina
tion to play the game right. Let us
all learn the rules, know our own‘
position, and if we violate one take
the penalty upon ourselves. We should
not allow ourselves to follow any
rule that suits our convenience and
delude ourselves into the belief that
we are playing golf when we are do
ing something entirely different. It
{8 decidedly better to play REAL golt
than to win many cups, and our op
ponents will learn to bless us. 1 am
afrald now the knowing ones fre
\quent.ly do the other thing.

E VERY interesting little green book
1 has come my way recently. It is
‘written by FErnest A. Baughman, &
iwe]l-knfiwn Chicago golfer, and it is
‘entlt!ml “How to Caddte.” It is fillad
'with 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 I am sure that golfers and
caddies alike will feel that they owe
!Mr, Baughman a debt of gratitude, ror
it ie 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 caddie, while the little fellow him
gelf frequently sins through ignorance.
