The great outbrust of hitting against Carl Weilman in the opening frame put the game on ice for the league leaders, but just to make victory certain they broke out again with some bunched stick work in the sixth.

Warner of this city is making. a name for himself as manager of the Worcester “Tech” baseball team and is regarded as one of the best pilots any nine connected with the school has ever had. Re- | sarding his work the Worcester Tele- gram says: ‘“Manager William 'S. . Warner of the baseball team has rroved to be one of the best athletic managers that Tech has ever had and when his statement for the baseball season is submitted it probably will be the best financially that has ever been turned in since Tech. has had a team.” ', i This tribute to Warner is particularly well deserved. In . the past “Tech” has béen handicapped by ‘athletic managers who did not use the proper system in carrying out their office. This year however, affairs are in yrroper hands. Warhner knows how to fill the office and that he does fill it to the satisfaction of all concerned is ‘appreciated by the student body. ‘Warner is one of the new schdol of managers at “Tech.” ~ Athletics are beginning to look up with men like him in.charge and sharps are be- ginning ‘to anticipate big things for the school. Its new athletic field is now one of the best in New England and as it is so centrally located it may be selected soon for the New England intercollegiates. TODAY IN PUGILISTIC ANNALS. 1885.—Mike Ward, the Canadian lightweight, born at Sarnia, Ont. ‘Ward’s first ring ‘bout was with Art St. Pierre, with whom he fought an 8- round draw at Port Huron, Mich,, in 1900, During the next two years he engaged in a number bf contests in Canada and Michigan, and late in 1902 he defeated Adam Ryan in Chicago. -He twice defeated Willie Fitzgerald in 1903, as well as other g0od men, and was considered a com- ing champion. His first defeat was at the hands of Joe Gans, to whom he lost a 10-round decision at Detroit early in 1904. Ward’s ring career | came to a sudden and tragic end in | 1906. In November of that year, after he ‘had been resting for nearly twelve months, he was matched with Ilarry Lewis at Grand Rapids, Mich., the scene of many of his battles. In the. 9th round the New York Hebrew landed a blow which sent the Cana- dian down for the count. Ward's head struck on the floor so violently that he suffered a concussion of the brain, from the effects of which he died on the following day. 1884.—Birthday of ' Willie Lewis, veteran boxer, trainer and manager. "1891.—Jim Corbett and Peter Jack- son fought 6l-round draw at Francisco. Young men. get the on the Man this ‘(edgé,’ Weather H H H summer.

Rather he has adopted the'time worn policy of leading them into the fray and showing them how games can be won by actually going out and win- ning the: himself.

After fifteen years in the ring, Wil- lie Lewis, the veteran New York mid- dleweight, fias finally quit the bif game and will henceforth make his living as a trainer and manager. Wil- le will celebrate his thirty-first birth- day today, . That is hardly the sere and yellow leaf, even for an athlete, but when you consider that Lewis has been boxing steadily and frequently ever since he was sixteen it is small wonder that -he is all through. Wil- lie has helped to train some of the best men that ever wore a glove, and it is likely that his ability in that iine will keep him out. of.the. poorhouse. ‘When Willie returned: from Paris last year, after the war had put him out of | business in that capital, . he - was matched with Al McCoy. He showed none of his old form, and the imita- tion champion knocked him out in the fifth round. Last February ILewis went to Havana to have a go . with Young Ahearn, and was knocked out in the second chapter. Lewis got a thousand bones for the Havana trip, and he opined that it would be the last. coin he would ever earn as o fighter. Lewis is entitled to sympathy as a war refugee. Since 1990 he has been doing a large part of his boxing in Paris, where the fans thought he was about the greatest ever. Paris liked ‘Willie so well, and Willie liked Paris 80 well, that he decided to give his native land the shake and settle down in' the French capital.. Early last year he invested all his available eash in a fine gymnasium in Paris. He was doing a land ‘office business teaching boxing ‘to the Parisian_bloods, ‘when along came old Knockout-Mars. There ‘was nothing doing in Paris after that, and Lewis closed up His Parls “gym” and his cottage at Chantilly and pre- pared .to hike while the hiking was good, Willje was at his Chantilly home when war ‘was déclared, and* he got out less than twenty-four hours ahead of the Germans. He had some. excit- ing experiences getting, to Paris with his wife and 'hs five-year-old son, and as soon as he could get'a boat he re- considered his determination to be- come an expatriate and salled away for Uncle Sam’s country. While on the other side Willie trained Moran for his “fight” with Johnson, but he didn't add much to his reputation as a trainer by that service, First German Pugilist. Ritchie, Wolgast, Papke and many other American boxers of German origin, have won laurels in the ring, but champions of Teuton blood are of recent growth. The first German to try for a championship was Tom Juchau, a Prussian who settled - In London in the middle of the eight- eenth century. Juchau, known o8 “The Disher” claimed the champion- ship of England after he defeated George Millsom in 1763, but his pre- tensions were denied by Bill Darts, “The Dyer.” The German and the Englishman were matched to battie for the title 149 years ago today, May 21, 1766. e patrons of the sport hung up $5,000, a big sum in those days. It was one of the foulest bouts ever fought. From the first Juchau resorted to all sorts of foul tactics, and Darts retaliated in kind. No attention was paid to the rules by either man, but they were permitted to fight on, and Darts at length won the victory by planting a very low blow on the abdomen of the Gérman. Juchau, the first German prizefighter apparently disappeared after this con- test, for the old records of the ring contain no later references to him. at wT'heir‘ old WALSH IN THE BOX, & S0 FORDHAM W “BI” Takes Thigs Easy Dur th Dl of Mounaincers.
