Browns Decide to Send Miller to
Louisville—Dolly Stark Re
fuses to Come South,
ASHVILLE, TENN, Feb. 37
N Manager Bill Schwartz, of the
Vols, has received a palr of 30-
lar plexus jolts during the past few
days. Just as he was beginning to
celebrate the signing of Eddie Mliller,
late of the St. Louls Browns, along
comes President Bob Hedges and says
he has sent the slugging inflelder to
Louisville.
Bill had just begun to don the crape
for Miller when he receilved a letter
from Dolly Stark from 'way out on
the Coast which said that the ex-
Memphis shortstop was SOrTy, but
that he couldn't see his way clear to
come to the malara-ridden South.
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, playing
alongside Dolly Stark on short, with
::tu.letw on first and Dodge in the
corner. Just by way of bringing
;rlittle sunlight into the Vol camp,
esident Clyde Shropshire went over
to Little Rock to attend the funeral
obsequies of the late President Kav
anaugh and while there he and Man
pger 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
neamed McLeod, with Montgomery last
season. Allen received Frank Gibson,
a catcher, who has been on the Vol
staff for some time.

Joe Choynski Was Hard Puncher
Always Gave Away Much Weight
:z:::l.:gm::fld of to-dl;:dl ;Ijozaaoj':lii'raHCh of sport will be
By Tad.
OURTEEN years ago this month,
in Gelveston, Texas, Joe
Choynski, the California Chry
santhemum, knocked out Jack John
son In three rounds, and as a reward
::a put in the cooler for breaking the
Johnson told the writer a few years
ago, In speaking of that afrfalr, 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.
Chp,vnaki was born in San Francis
co, November B§, 1868, and although he
fought the biggest and best men of
his time, was never lucky enough g
grab a title. He was a bit shy
welght, always scaling 166 or there
abouts, and often fighting men such
3;0 Jeffries, 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 the
Olympic 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.
- - .
CORBETT 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 Benicla, 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
bulldogs ever tore at one another.
Both were cut and bruised, and
Choynski had been nghun& 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
Tn the twenty-seventh round Choyn
ski was so weak from losa of biood
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
with the game then, though, and came
back and fought th‘e b‘oat there was.
.
J'[M JEFFRIES declared in New
York that it was Joe who nailed
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 telllng 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.
McDonald figured that the knock
down won the fight 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.
- - .
OLD freckled Bob Fitzsimmons was
another man who never stopped
talking about the wonderful kick
packed by Choynski. He fought Joe
a six-round thing once in Boston and
barely weathered the storm. In the
fifth round Choynski 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 ha thought up wasl
down and down w&s up, and kept try
ing to push his bald knob through the
bottom of the ring. He was certain
also that the balconles had fallen In.
At the count of nine he was on his
feet and got away with it, but he
couldn’t tell pepper from salt for three
weeks.
Choynski finished up his career In
Philadelphia when he boxed Jack
Willlams, a newcomer. Joe was very
s wild, but earnest. That was all that
jcould 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.

match that it would be a corker, and it
was. This makes three straight cork
ing shows for Mike the other two be
ing the Herman-Pappas go and the
Herman-Eggers scrap.
e
Whitney, by his victory, proves that
he is capable of swinging the padded
mitts against the best of them. Jake,
by the great 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 beit he
will be able to step with the best of
them. He is stronger than he ever was
and can also hit harder

be wise in grabbing either Whitney or

YN one of my previous articles |
I mentioned the general lgnorance
of the rules of golf that pre
‘v-no among American players, and 1
would like to emphasize to-day the
neceasity of playing real golif and not
& hybrid game born of carelessness
and ignorance. It seems to mse that
we should make a determined effort to
extend a knowledge of the rules Ye
yond & small circle of golf officiale and
a few lawyers who always make a
'polnt of acquainting themselves with
'the laws that regulate all sorts of
'human conduct.
I do not speak of “counting wrong,"”
for that is cheating. 1 simply mean
habitual wviolation in good faith f
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
not golf.
- - -
THERE is a fine spirit in golf; it is
a gentleman's game, and many
players do not ilke 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- |
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
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
lthe penalty upon ourselves. We should
not allow ourselves to follow any
rule that suits our convonience and
delude ourselves into the belief that
'we are playing golf when we are do
ing something entirely different. It
1s decidedly better to play REAL golt
than to win many cups, and our op
ponents will learn to bless us. lam
afrald now the knowing ones fre
quently do the other thing. 5

away slowly at the start, but rapidly
came into thelr own st the tail end of
the season with successive victories
over Vanderbilt, Nashville Ramblers
and Columbus Y. M. C. A
Winter football practice has been
productive of much good, for it ena
bles the coaches to teach the rudi
ments of the game to all the candi
dates, and gives the opportunity to
size up the players. O'Kelly, Hall,
Knox, Hutchinson, Mobley, Simonton
and Hartman are likely prospects for
the varsity. The sophomore and fresh.
man squads will play to-day to de
cide the class champlonship.
- - .
JO! BEAN s 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 their 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 thelr places can
hardly be expected to measure up to
their high standard. But in the in
creased efficliency of the veteran im
field and the added experience of the
pitchers and catchers, the team should
measure up to the high standard of

i"I'ORBE‘!"I'. Nunnally and Armistead
| are the catchers of last season who
are counted on to do the uc-lv.t:
honors again. Hitcheock, Corley
Fox are veterans. They have acquired
confidence, and, with Increased abil

been assoclated together for three sea
sons—Henderson, at first; Harrison.
at second; Clements, at short, and
Holden, at third, will doubtless hold

school stars on hand, no trouble is ex~
pected in fllling vacancies. Carroway,
from Riverside Academy; long, from
