Harry Stono Beats Nelson
SDW YORK. Jan. 28. Harry Stone defeated
ITrnnkle Nelson in their 10-round hout at
Brown's gymnasium last night.
Ever ana anon, If not oftener, we
receive complaints from correspondents
because we haven't answered certain
queries or replied to letters. Wo aro
forced to admit the blighting- impeach
ment, and with a feeling somewhat
akin to shame. Every query should bo
answered, and every letter replied to.
But in somo way wo nover seem to
catch up or wo lose the letters or
some other untoward event Intervenes.
Entering an Alibi
On the other hand, as has been said
before, being remotely connected with
the sporting industry at large, wo have
our alibi. For example, when a cer
tain missive arrived today wo could
Inhale at onco the advanco fragrance
of the succulent statistic with attached
visions of an nfternoon totally de
stroyed. But wo dug on In and we
hereby offer the Inclosed as a sample
explaining our dereliction.
As Follows:
Dear Sir Can you please tell a
young fan who plays some baseball
also about how many chances big
league ball players accept before they
make an error on an average? I mean
about how many put-outs and assists
will they have to each error and oblige,
gratefully,
A SCHOOLBOY PAN.
At first glance nothing1 could sound
simpler. And being anxious to oblige
I'll start In to answer at once by say
ing, "Ahout one error to every" and
then you suddenly pull up. About one
error to every what? Offhand you
might say about one error to every
ten chances, for a guess. But It might
be one to eight or one to seventeen,
And not desiring to indulge Jn any
false steer or Inaugurate nny Inaccuracy,-
there Is one of two things to do
(1) Toss tho epistle aside without
further worry, or (2) Dig deep enough
Into the sandy-soiled dope to round up
the answer,
Zip does an Afternoon
We deeldetj to try out Number Two
by way of variety. And the only way to
respond to the simple query above was
to gather Jn the records and discover
how many put-outs, assists and errors
had been made In the 2500 big league
games played last fall.
AH we had to do was to keep on add
ing until we discovered that in the Na-1

Says He Didn't Box Wagner
WlLKES-HARItn, Pa , Jan. 28 Tommy
O'Toole, who was reported In Philadelphia
papers as hiving met with a defeat nt tho
hands of Finnkle Wagner In Bethlehem, was
neer near that cltv on the night of tho rc
purted battle O'Toole has been training hero
tor a bout with Uenny Kaufman, of Philadcl
p tin an l tlu liov who met Wagner nt Bethle
hem and took a tierce heating masqueraded
unitei the mine of Tommy O'Toole, of Wllkes-
tlonal League's 1250 games thero had
been 33,448 put-outs plit3 1G.235 assists.
Tho total chances accepted, therefore,
were 49,633. And against this thero
wore 214G errors. All of which produces
tho Information that In tho National
Leaguo 23.1 chances nro accepted before
the earnest athlete, on an average, blows
one or introduces the well-known boot.
To extend tho Idea, thero were 51,156
chances accepted In tho American
League against 2148 mlsplays which
gives tho A. L. an average of 23.8
chances accepted against one fizzle or
muff. AH of which Is direct proof of
tho great skill employed by tho profes
sion at large, as the acceptance of 23
out of 24 chances under flro Is sufficient
proof of both skill nnd nerve employed
by those who wear the spike and glove.
In passing, we hopo School Boy Fan
can make sterling uso of this Informa
tion. For at tho finish of the dope ex
cavation thero wasn't enough left of a
perfectly good afternoon to uso for roll
ing a cigarette.
Without Much Thought Needed
Some day a golfer Is going to write In
to know about how many putts an aver-
ago golfer requires for each green, and,
taking our own experience, wo are go
ing to say from three to Ave, and let
It go at that.
P. S. Tes, we are neutral. We don't
care how much Indemnity Germany Is
forced to pay Belgium, so long as it's
enough.
The Prelim's Point of Order
"Keep on hittin'" me manager yells,
"And knock 'im dead told' a Mkck;
Mis it up like I tipped vou, kid,
And than come tru ioid' a trick;
Swap 'im a punch for a punch, you duo,
And de rest is a tled-up oincJt"
But it ain't HIB jato-lone makin' de
swap,
And dafs whw I fell in a clinch.
"Keep on golnl" me manager yells,
"Dls ain't no opium denj
Olimo on your pins when he counts to
eight
And fall in a clinch again;
Fiva--sUfSevenNOW, after him, kid,
And make 'im look like a pup"
But it ain't HIB gobboon drippin' da red.
And dat'i why I didn't get vp.

nounced yesterday. The tournament will con

tho suspension of matches on Sundays.
A Mild Prediction
Ted Meredith, the Pcnnsy star,
The headlines do assert, will run,
Now that they'i'c taken down the bar
But that's xohat Ted has always done.
It you havo doubts, eo ask tho men
who havo fought to pass him tho last
fow years. They will tell you that as
a general rulo when T. Meredith gets
into a raco it la a good bet to say he
will run and then some.
Officers
There is no doubt, we'll make a bet,
That politicians wish
Although we do not need one vat
To found a fight commish.
And when they shall have founded it,
(Oh, cease those maudlin sobs)
Wo have no doubt don't take a fit
They'll founder it with jobs.
Since we don't need it, why havo ono?.
Jack McGuigan Is probably right about
tho 10-round idea. Six-round lights
mean action, and they havo been such
a success in Philadelphia that other
cities have followed suit. Let that
limit stand.
Had You NotlcedP
That tho Inside dopo peddlers rarely
print the real names of many and
many a lighter? I3ut they tell all
about Leo Magee's real name, the tor
tuous details ot which we've forgotten
except that it sounds like tho name
of a cheese. Nothing llko discretion.
Old Ping Bodie
Alas I the stars are groioing old,
Alackl hey are no longer young,
Who ventured forth with swagger bold
And viciously the horsehide stung,
With grief and tcoo our heart is
wrung,
Another star has left the fold
Who caused the crowd to break a lung
When he broke fences has been sold.
Back over the dreary old trail that
onco looked bright to the Bush goes
ponderous Ping. Hq'll And a goodly
company there sooner or later,
And With the Bunk
Another thing Jn favor of golf is
that tho player can stop and think.
Does away with that bugaboo of base
bull," you know.

The'Chlnese Are Coming
Pckln University's baseball team is
making preparations to invado this
country. Phlla"delphlans, according to
reports, will seo tho China representa
tives In action. Tho Invaders aro to
play Pennsylvania, Tale, Carlisle and
other Eastern teams. The Mongolians
have played In the East before this
and their appearance always attracts
a good bit of attention, Tho visitors,
considering tho short time they havo
been at tho game, have developed won
derfully. They aro quick, good fielders,
but are not llnlshed hitters. That Is
their greatest weakness.

Listen to This!
Remember the other night when Sam
uel Robldeau, lightweight, of this city,
sent Gilbert Gallant, or Bawhstan, to
sleep Jn the fourth round at Bridgeport?
That's not the funny part, at all. But lis
ten to ail;
"I know my downfall shocked Boston
unspeakably. It Is a frightful calamity
that has befallen me. Bostonlans had
considered ma a potential champion. A
word I'd offer In my defense, I have
been using an aural pad In sparring
with my gymnasium chaps, deslgnod
merely to eliminate mutilation of my
ears. Now I realize at the eleventh
hour that the practice has weakened
my natural resistance to hard blows.
Any wonder then that I fell prey to
Bobldeau's thumps?'
