Welsh so far forgot himself as to WIN a

pointed tho Michigan Dutchman, and was
dazed at tho finish. It is thought that Mr.
Welsh will be severely reprimanded by
the other titleholders for stealing their
stuff. This Is tho first battlo that Freddy
has won for some time, and It might glvo
him enough confidence to take on a reg

A New Star in "Vc.st
A new star has appeared in tho pugilis

Chicago. Hammer Is a lightweight, that
Is, he can mako 135, and has been knock

and had him in bad shnpo several times.
Hammer is ever hammering at his oppo
nent, btartlng out In tho first round and
Keeping it up until it is all over.
Darby Kelly, manager of Johnny
O'Leiry, Iuib been Hammer In action and
loosened up with the following:
"Hammer is ono of the most aggressive
fighters in tho ring today, Ilo is bettor
than liattllng Nelson In his prime and can
take Just ns much punishment. Ever Is a
slam bang boxer and Is swinging both of
his fists from start to finish. When tha

JOHNNY EVERS AS KEEN FOR
WORK AS HE WAS DECADE AGO
IJy GRANTLAND RICE
THERE nre certain sections of drama or
Rnfrmotili, nt I ...... II a .. .. .
........ i nullum mo in unseunii mat
nre often overlooked.
A ilny or two ngo wo were talking with
Johnny fivers In tho lobby of tho Dempsoy
Hotel, nt Mncon, Georgln, when Germany
Schnefer passed by. Tho greeting was
cordial both ways, but no one could liavo
figured It nnythlng moro than n casual
meeting of two well-known stars. After
Germany hnd passed nlong Evors sat for
a minute or two without making a re
mark. "What's on your mind, Johnny?" wo
nsked. "I was thinking," ho answered,
'of a certain morning 14 years ago. I
was then a raw kid t 20. I weighed 128
pounds, nnd had only been off tho lots two
months. That morning I came out to tho
bnll park, and the first man I saw was a
heavy set fellow In frotit of tho clubhouse.
Ms first words to mo were these: 'Well,
young fellow, I understand you've como to
tako my Job.' I was scared to death. I
reic nuo turning there nnd going bnck. I
tr ed lo explain that I wasn't nfter his
Job, not even knowing who It was. Hut
ho only smiled, wished me luck nnd went
on Inside. His namo was Schaefer, tho
samo Herman Schaefer that just passed.
Ho was thon playing for tho Cubs, and
I had his Job m less than n week, al
though after that ho was n star, with his
best years still ahead "
This Is merely ono of tho ninny episodes
of a creat srnnin nv. i.a ....i.i..- ......
meeting waa only a chance passing. Thero
was no part of drama to It Dut 14 years
back of this meeting there wni p'lenly
of drama for both titnl Incidents In tho
cateers of two men who hate bi.cn out
standing features of the game.
fivers went to second base when Schae
fer passed and no statistics nro nercsary
to show what ho has done Schnefer
afterward landed with Detroit and be
came a big factor In n pennant winning
machine
On that morning. 14 years ago, Schnefer
was n disappointed ball player about to
lose his Job; fivers was a quivering strip
ling nnxlout to be given a chnhce. Hut
slnco that day between them they liavo
been (.tars In eight flag-winning cam
paigns in uirrercnt leagues.
They meet, shake hands and pass on and
It menns nothing. Nothing to any one
but fivers and Schaefer, who still re
member. fivers today Is starting his 15th sentou
In major leaguo ball. This may seem to
be no ordinary achievement. It mny not
until you consider ono detail. Wagner,
I.ajolc, Anson and n few others who bate
lasted year upon year were nil lug power
ful men with a world of sininlna to carry
them nlong the necessary bulk to bear
the heavy strain.
Rut through these 14 years Evors lias
weighed 136 poundB or less nnd at all
times has been a nervous, high strung
type, with his nervous system close to the
surface.
How about 1916? Well, Evers today
looks as well ns he ever looked In hi
life. Ho looks as young na he looked
ten years ngo. He still has the same keen
enthusiasm, which Is shown by tho fact
that ho reported to Stnlllngs down nt tha
latter's Georgia plantation ten days be
fore training time was ordered.

As a business man you must
realize that this advertisement
would be a failure if it only
succeeded in selling ONE box
of Murads to each smoker
who tried them.
The advertising of Murads is based
on our experience that once you smoke
Murads you will continue to smoke
Murads.
This advertising is intended merely
to introduce Murads to those not yet
acquainted with them.
Murads will do the rest
That is why Murad is today the
greatest selling high-grade cigarette in
America.
