This dough- hoy didnot have a job, nor did he try to get one. His mind was set ys inla different direction, Day after } day he went to the gym, donned his ! old moth-eaten trunks and shirt and went through his paces. The other boxerg looked him over, noted his spindly legs and shook thelr heads. A fellow with legs like that could not be expected to with- stand a heavy punch, Imagine the surprise of the gang when the ex- soldier stripped and showed his skinny legs torn and punctured with bullet marks. Then they pitied bim the more. He could get no bouts; his money ran out. Then one of the .game's sporting men took it upon himgelf to look | after him. That was the beginning of the friendship between Tommy and Joe Mannheim, a 4 P i. : i] manager. Joe took his find to * Mullins, and between the pair they rigged up hes for Tommy. And he knocked every opponent kicking. O'Brien has proved that a fellow with a puneh™sind a heart can get there. His legs are a handicap, no doubt of that, but those self-same legs furnish the ‘pivoting point for his swinging punches, nnd’ the fact that he can hit hard enough to keep & man down js enough to warn the other fellow not to take him lightly. Tommy made a_ good showing against Ace Hudkins, onthe coast, and was ahewi-nntil-he was fouled. He now wants a shot at ‘Jimmy Goodrich and the lightweight title. ——— LOUIS KAPLAN BEATS HERMAN IN TITLE BOUT WATERBURY, Conn., Aug. 28.— (Ry The Associated Press) — Louis | (Kid) Kaplan’ of Meriden, Conn., re- {mains featherweight. boxing cham- pion of the world, haying fought a draw in his fifteen round contest ‘with the former Californian, Babe Herman, before 20,000 persons at Brasseo Park, last. night. Several experts were inclined to favor Herman, who showed better generalship but a whirlwind finish had much to do with the refereo’s decision. After the contest an exami- nation revealed that Kaplan had suf- fered a broken finger in the elghth round. Kaplan sald that after the eighth he had been able to use his right hand only as a guard. ——_-——— American League, Washington at Chicago, Philadelphia at Detroit New York at St. Louis Reston at Cleveland.

BROWN Tho passing of “Lank Hank” Gowdy of the Giants takes from baseball another one of its most col- orful figures, Many things made Gowdy a national hero in the dia- mond game. First, his terrific clout- ing in the world’s series of 1914. Second, his patriotism, displayed dur- ing the World War when he was the first major lehgue ball player to enlist for war service, But in addition to these incidents Gowdy had a certain colorful style about him that made him immensely popular—a man easy to write and talk about.

Wingo lacks the picturesqueness of wdy's manner. Fate failed to choose him as a fawn to toy with and eventually, in her gentlest mood leave resting serenely in the Hall of Fame. Wingo has just about ‘played his string out, The fact that, in doing so, he has set a record: for catching in the National League is passing almost ‘unnoticed or ~ unchronieled. Yet, Wingo has scattered the great record for endurance hung up by George Gibson, old Pirate star.

(Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—If the story of a Michigan alumnus, told at an uptown club, is verified, teams that oppose the Maize and Blue this season will be justified in yelling “Here come the ice men” everytime the Wolverines essay an advance, For, according to this Ann Arbor gtad, not only Red Grange but three Michigan football players are fol- lowing the ice route this year, de- lvering large or small cakes of ice as the case may be, to panting refrig- erators. The knights of the tongs are Web- er, Edward Lange of Chicago, and Herbert Douglas of Indiana, If the Michigan eleven proves to be a success next fall, the ice wagon as a calling for gridiron aspirants will undoubtedly become popular in- deed throughout the intercollegiate world, Miss Helen Wills, national tennis singles champion, has two soubri- quets. Her sister players are apt to refer to her as the “wooden woman.” Men call her the “poker face girl.’ The New York Giants have been handicapped in many ways in their efforts in hold fast to the pennant that has flown over their clubhousé for four years. But one thing will be greatly in their favor in the cles- ing weeks of the campaign. This is the schedule. ‘The National league schedule com- mittee unintentionally made things to order for the Giants, handicapped as they are by a brittle pitching staff. The western invasion in the Nat- fonal league ends, as far as the Giants are concerned on August 31, when they play their last game with the St. Louis Cardinals. The following day the Giants rest, Then they take the short jump to Philadelphia and play a four game serles there, winding it up on Sat- urday. Sunday is an other off day for them, They have the usual doubleheader on September 7 (Labor Day this year) with the Boston Braves but not a game is booked for the next three. days. ‘They play the Brooklyn club Sep- tember 11 and September 12, and again find themselves with an idle Sunday and the day following. Seven off days in two weeks. This is, of course, as far as the schedule is con- cerned, In all probability the team will have one or two postponed james that must be played and these games will reduce that number. But five off days at the opening of the hope sth will mean much tothe tT Sled WES: A sporting looking man at Yorest Hills was conning some of the ten- nis experts on Monday as to what would be reasonable odds to offer against: William Tilden’s failing to win the approaching national singles.

Just now this is difficult to answer, the fact seems to be, though that Yale came to agreement with the Pennsylvanians after the agree- ment with Dartmouth had fallen through, tived arms of McGraw’s veterans and will give the Giant leader time to mend bis fences a-bit, Speaking of prize fighters, which no one was, we are wondering today what becomes of all those.enormous amounts posted as forfeits every time the leading figures of the fistic circle are badgered into endangering their reputatigns in the ring. The supposed posting of such forfelts al ways get a bit more publicity for the principals. But never have we heard of a fighter losing this dough when the fight involved his gone pfloole for some reason or other. As a matter of fact that money is usually worthless paper. ‘We know of a western promoter who used to announce $5,000 forfeits posted by principals in bouts’ he planned.-And-knowing- him-and most of the men he gathered in for his battle we cat state truthfully that any one of them would have needed two or three blackjacks, a couple of guns and the combination to a pros perous bootlegger's safe to scrape tos gether $5,000, The gate at each fight would total about $7,500, Imagine ‘a ham and fighter tossing out a certified check for five grand to show his good faith and willingness to take a'sock on the jaw for twelve or thirteen hundred amacker The fight game, where big money and big men are involved, has be come such an intricate affair now: adays that a posted gst means SER at BRE I a be Casper Daily Cribune RIBUNE’S PAGE OF SPORTING NEWS Lees s.r aA Pues To BUST Hl THE awh Wor WAR! es ar history has set a better mark than the one now being complied by Win- go.

Bill Rar- {den shared the backstopping with him that year and they split about even in gamés played. Wingo caught 198 games the fol- lowing year and a majority of the contests the next few years.
