A 100 Greggalns, a member of the old school, sunk the boxers of to day never try to learn how to defend themseivos and thut all they think of is to wade In and win by slugging aa quickly an possible which accounts for the scarcity of championship ma tcrlal. "No fighter can hint long tsk big punishment," says Alec. "A tough ruggvd boy o%i eat up the wallops for a certain length of tltne. but ho Boons begins to show the effects of It and fades away after a few years Iu order to get to the top of the lad dor a fighter must know something about boxing, and as there are few teachers who can explain the proper method of warding off an adversary's blow with an Impregnable guard, it Is only reasonable that the crop should be limited, and until the ris ing boxers learn how to use a left band jab and forget that It is not necessary to swing a rlgh-hand punch from the ground «p. there will be few classy men In the ring for many years to come. In nearly all of the amateur fights, as well as the pro fessional bouts, the contestants sal’, In and swap punches and the huski est fellow wins If a man ts built on the lines of Rattling Nelson, that's all right but there are very few per sons built of whalebone, and a fight er of Jos Gans, type will be In the game many years after the slugger baa bean sent to the scrap-pile." And what Oceggtans says Is true. In the local boats, the boxers who “We’ve Got them Coming” SUIT S Made to Your Measure sls“ World’s Largest Tailors Scotch Woolen Mills 735 BROAD. are to show murh science are ex tremely scarce and there are very few boxers now branching out who show championship calibre, |slmply because they lack that classy touch which Is essential to reaching the topmost rung of the pugilistic ladder. In fact, there are mighty few htgh cl*»e' men In the rlgh today have the bflj-'o on all of the others. The lit tle fellows have of late been very much In the public eye. There are only a couple of promi nent bantams outside of Johnny Tou lon, but Monte At tell, by bis win over Reagan, must be given some consid eration. In the featherweight ranks are such men as Jam Driscoll, Abe At tall and Owen Moran, Xvhtle Rat tllng Nelson and Freddie Welsh are the only lightweights who are capa ble of attracting the attention of the entire world In a match for the tljlc. The middleweights are all hide-step ping. Sam Langford and, as Ketchel has defeated Billy Papke anil Hugo Kelly, the two foremost white con tenders, tills class Is practically bar ren of good men. The welterweight division Is als i hy of material, Jim my Gardner, Jack Blackburn (who is now in Jail on chnrge of murderl, Mike "Twin" Sullivan land I'/Try', Lewis still being at the head of their class, as there are no new won ders springing up. There are mighty few big fellows able to compete with Jack Johnson for the heavyweight crown which he claims by reason of his victory over Tommy Burns, and this noounts for the publicity that Jim Jefrtes ts securing, as the fans nrc hopeful that during the course of the year the retired chamyion wIR step back Into the ring and whip the colored scrapper There has been no new champions developed for several years, barring Rattling Nelson and Stanley Ketchel.

EDDIE WALSH IS BIG STAB OF - WHITE_SDX LOS ANGELES, Cal.—Few figures in haseball today command more at tention than Ed Walsh, the Chicago American league club pitching won der. Seldom in its years of life has baseball produced a man of Walsh’s calibre. He stands head and should ers above the ordinary Heavers, not along through his ability to pitch ex traordinary games, but because he can come back day after day, with out losing his effectiveness. Last, summer the White Sox were kept In the race all season because Walsh pitched nearly half of the games played, winning a great per. centage of the contests. Time and again he was called upon to finish games started by others, when the op position was finding the delivery easy. And Walsh made good upon about 90 per cent of the occasions. Tall, powerful, cool, with wonder ful speed and a command of the spit ball unequaled by any other pitcher. Walsh had but to walk into the box to win his games. It was an oft-re peated saying that when "Rig Ed's " name was chalked upon the score board his game was won. On Oct. 2, 1908. in Cleveland, Walgh Indulged in a pitching duel with Addle Joss —probably the most notable battle for supremacy between two grand pitchers ever recorded. In nine innings Joss did not permit a man to reach first base while Walsh struck out fifteen men in eight In nings, a new world's record, and but for an error by Isbell, would not have permitted a manAo score. This year. In recognition of past services] Walsh demanded more mon ey from Comiskey. Some say he ask ed S6OOO. Others place the figure at $7600. Whatever It was. It ts prob able that the get-away gong will see j the Comiskey star tn the box. with all ! differences between the Old Roman | and himself adjusted. Although Tommy Is reputed to have ' a cheap team. It is doubtful if he I would consent to iet his biggest win j tier escape because of a difference of I a few thousand dollars between them. • ' IN— LANGLEY THE HERALD is delivered by carrier every afternoon and Sunday morning.

C.—Ease ball practice has progressed well dur ing the past week, notwithstanding the Inclement weather experienced for one or two days. Of last year’s pitching staff. Wal drop. Wood, Stokes, Farmer, and Lachicotte are back, but Farmer is ineligible on account of having played summer ball. The others are good men iu the box. however, and pos sess the makeup of excellent slab men. Rivers played such good scrub ball last year that he Is counted on by many to make one of the pitcher's positions. The pitching department is strong and Clemson is expected to hold her own in this line. Behind the bat, Connolly. Bates, Jenkins, and Sullivan are out for this position! When Wylie withdrew from college in the middle of the season last year, Connolly caught the re mainder of the games with credit to himself. First base will take care of itself, for these will be seen not only the fastest man on the team, but also the captain. Coles. Coles is a neat fielder, fast base runner, and a fair batsman—in fact, he is a finished ball player. He has played first base for the past two years. At the keystone sack Is the old, standby. Kirby. Harris and Henderson are battling for third base, and it is a toss-up as to which one will be seen in this position during the season. Goodman played a creditable game at short last year, and will again play this position. Clemson lost a good outfielder sev eral weeks ago in Joel Brown, who left college for the A. & M. College of North Carolina. Sherard is the only regular outfielder, but as there are a good many candidates for these 1 positions, it is safe to say that these | positions will be well taken care of. i Sherard. Cochran, Boyd, Lokey, Jef fords, Rissell. and Major are trying for the outfield. THURSDAY, MARCH 11. degrees front the bleacher railing to the ground. As luck happened the ball hit the stick and rolled straight up into the stand for a home run." “I’ve seen queerer ones than that" replied Ferris. “I think it was Cy Young that knocked one along tho right foul line at Sportsman's Park in St. Louis. It found a hole in the fence, and went for four bases. At any rate, Cy did almost the same trick for the Boston club. The ball hit the right bleachers, just where there was a hole large enough to let it through. Cy broke a record that day by going the circuit of the bases in the slowest time ever made on a homer. “You see the fielder was right on top of the ball, and spilled his arm in the hole reaching for it by the time Cy reached first, where he stop, ped, fearing to go ahead. With the bunch yelling at him to go to second, Cy plugged on to the middle bag while the fielder still fumbled for the ball. "You see the hole was just large enough for the ball to get through, and every time the right garden man tried to pull it out it was squeezed out of his fingers. « Cy took another look and tried for third, where he stopped again. I guess the other side had heart dis ease, for they almost had to dynamite him off third. He finally started for home, and midway the fielder got the ball and shot it to the plate. Cy had to slide —and say, that slide was like an elephant trying to do a buck-and wing dance. But he made the plate.” N. L. Willet Seed Co. 309 JACKSON. ALL FIELD SEEDS—At our Retail Counter.
