The Preponderance
HERE arc seventeen names thdt rep
resent the strongest machine thnt
rould bo nicked from baseball upon the
records of 1010.
Of the seventeen names no less than
fourteen come from towns that only an
extremely limited few of the population
ever heard of.
How many of the millions of fans who
ramble through the turnstiles of the
bir towns ever heard of Harvel. Paw
paw, Elba, Nimisilla, Winters or
Guthrie? .,,.,.
Yet these are the villages that turn
out the major leaguers. From the
seventeen names only Detroit. Roches
ter and Baltimoro have an entry. -
There isn't a delegate from Pscw
Tori;. Chicago, Boston. Philadelphia,
St Ivouis. Cleveland. Cincinnati, Buf
falo, Washington or Pittsburgh.
There are eleven major league cities
where baseball is played by thousands.
Only one of these cpn enter a name
among the seventeen stars selected
above.
Ashing the Why
NEW YORK, Chicago, Cleveland, St.
Louis and other big citics.go in with
a big rush for nmnteur and semi-pro
baseball.
Why should the villager outclass the
big town entry by a margin of five or
tix to one?
Practically all the great names of
baseball come from the villages
JlathcwMW, Ed Walsh. Miner Brown,
Cv Young, on through the list.
'Which seems to add another weighty
problem to the increasing complications
that beset this age.

Another Argument
T CONTEND," pens o bystander,
J- "that wrestling is the most cosmo
politan sport in the world more so
than boxing, tennis or golf. To help
settle nn argument, pleabc shoot the
answer."
Judged by names nnd races, our cor
respondent seems to bo about correct.
Golf and tennis belong in the main to
America, Great Britain, Franco and
Germany. Not to overlook Japan.
Boxing belongs to America, Great
Britain and France, with Italy nnd
Germany barely represented.
The main rival would be track nnd
field athletics. But wrestling, to judge
from various menus, belongs to Amer
ica, Great Britain. France, .Tapun. Ger
many, Russia, Poland, Turkey. Greece,
Rumania, and what not, with what not
prominently represented.

Three Matchmakers Seek
Bout Between Champ and
Joe Lynch May Box
Roy Moore '
AFTER s KILBANE GO
By LOUIS II. JAFFE
pETEY HERMAN has been in Philly
. for several days, nnd he's going to
stay around for some little while) Jo
prove that the bantam champ's htay in
this city will be indefinite, he is plan
ning to have his wife and child come
here just nH soon as the wcohcr gets
warmer.
Whenever Herman comes to Philadel
phia, talk of a meeting with Joe Lynch
usually Rtarts. The chances are that
n Herman-Lynch contest will be stajrd
the latter part of this month or early in
March. There are three promoters
who want Peter and Joseph to clash.
They ore Jack Hanlon, of the Ol.fcmpia;
Pop O'Brien, of the National, and Dave
Mackcy. of Newark. If cither of the
local matchmakers get the contcstwt
will be put on ns tho headllner of n
special show.
Another match which is in the
making for Herman is one with Boy
Moore, who recently was given a de
cision over Pal Moore in Baltimore.
Negotiations for this mix nro on now,
and if definite nrrnngements arc made
Herman and Boy will fling fists in. the
general direction of each other some
time in March.
Kilbano Match Fell Flat i
For n while it looked as if Pete wplilu
get a chance to add another champion
ship to his credit. But everything went
floole when Johnny Ktlbone said "noth
ing doing," or something like that. A
New Orleans promoter offered J. Patrick
$7500 to meet Herman in n twenty
round contest nt 122 pounds, ringside.
Herman says Kilbnno insisted on
$10,000, nnd when that purse "was of
fered to tho featherweight king, he said
he would not take the match unless it
was at eatchweights. To this, Sammy
Goldman, Herman's manager, refused
to consent. So, all negotiations were
dropped. ,
Since showing hero against Patsy
Johnson, when Herman dropped the
Trenton lad several times, Pete has
scored two knockouts. Out in St. Louis
Pete socked a young fellow, Kid Began,
on the jaw in the third round and the
latter heard a swell chirping of chip
pies while the referee lolled ott ten.
Then Johnny Ritchie, of Chicago, suc
cumbed to Herman's crusher in eight
rounds at New Orleans, this being
Pete's' first bout at home in About three
years.
To Seo Valger-Kllbhne Go
Pete will be among those there when
Kilbane and Benny Vnlger direct wol
lops at each other in Newark Februory
25. He is still hoping that a meeting with
tho featherweight king will be arranged.
Herman is a confident guy. He doesn't
think be knows thnt "Killy" would
be duck soup for him.
Although Herman has nn dutches
booked just now he is keeping himself
busy. He is in daily training nt Phila
delphia, Jack O'Brien's, .sparring a lot

Wild Bill Donovan Stopped the
White Sox in Most Impor
tant Game in 1908
TY COBB GOT HIS REVENGE
There have been many famous battles
in the spectacular history of Comiskcy's
Chicago White Sox, but no game ever
meant ns much to the crack windy city
club as the last game of the 1008 cham
pionship season with the Detroit Tigers.
Victory incant the pennant nnd nnothcr
chance to play the Chicago Cubs,
whom the Sox had beaten in 1000, in
tho world's series. Defeat meant n
plunge into third plnce.
In nn earlier article in this series,
the rcmnrknble American Lcngue race
of 1008 wns reviewed from the Clcve
Innd nnglc. It mny be rccnlled thnt
the Indians would have won the pen
nant hnd they erased the senson with
three straight victories over the St.
Louis Browns. But defeat in the first
game of n double -hender on October 5,
thp rlnv hefnrn th( close of the season.
put Clcvclnnd out of it. It left it up
to the White Sox and Tigers to fight
for the pennant on Tuesday, October
0,' the last day of the season.
Only the Herculean efforts of Ed
Walsh kept the White Sox in the run
ning in the last mad daBh through
'September and early October with the
Tigers and Indians. Walsli worked in
seven of the last nine games played by
the White Sox that year, including n
double victory scored over Boston on
September 20. ,
Bill Donovan, who ranked next to
Walsh that season among American
League pitchers, was Jennings's twirl
ing choice, and nt the last moment
Fielder Jones selected Doc White to do
his pitching.
The Tigers, with the clever Donovan
bowling down the Sox like so many ten
pins, played horse with Chicago and
won the game by the lopsided tcoro of
7 to 0.
One wild first inning cooked the hopes
nt rhn Sox before the contest was ten
minutes old. Jones had started the
wrong horse in White, for the southpaw

Detroit runs were in before Walsh, the
rescuer, could put out the fire.
Matty Mclntyre opened the game
with n single and Bush fanned. Craw
ford, however, slapped a double into
the overflow crowd. White was left
in to oppose Cobb, his "easy meat,"
but for once Tyrus rebelled. The

field, scoring Mclntyre and Crawford,
and then Walsh was rushed in.
But Big L'l couldn't stem the tide
nnd two more runs came over before the
inning ended.

JOYCE LOOKS GOOD, TOO
By PETE HERMAN
llantnm Champion of tho World,
Willie McCloskey was an easy win
ner over Sol O'Donncll nt the Audi
torium last night. McCloskey knew cn
tircly too much for his opponent, who
did not seem to have the same knowl
edge of tho ring game as Willie.
McCloskey," in my estimation, hnd
five of tho six rounds by n margin, tho
other, which was the fifth, was even.
In this round only did O'Donnell show
nny real form. McCloskey was favored
with good punches In both hands. Hn
displayed a fine left jab nnd also n
good hook. His right cross nlso landed
with telling effect. '
Because of the way McCloskey
punched short, snappy and with lots
of steam behind them he reminded mo
a lot of Irish Patsy Cllne when he wns1
boxing in his best form, before he be
came so sluggisli, tat and slow. Ale-
Closkev looked vcrv cood to mo. nnd
I if ho is schooled properly I think he
will be up among the topnotchcrs in the
near future.
Another boxer who looks very prom
ising is Eddie Joyce. The boy has the ,
goods; there is no doubt about that.
In knocking out Johnny Martin, who,
I am told, is a supposedly iron man,
Joyce had to show more than punching
ability. And Eddie showed it. The
knockout came in the fourth round, but
before that Joyce demonstrated that he
had a good left jab, n swell right cross,
n nifty one-two punch nnd. best of
all, n very cool head. A right-hander
to the jaw knocked down Martin for
the count of eicht nnd then another
right-hnnder put him nwny.
Joe Wright fought n great uphill
battle. Even though Bobby Burman
knocked down Wright in tho second
round, Wright came back so strongly
thereafter thnt he wns entitled to nt
least a draw. And, furthermore.
Wright deserved a lot more credit when
it was learned that he had sprained his
ankle in the second round.
Iteddy Jackson showed enough form
and aggressiveness to win by n shade
over Harry Kid Stewart.
