Y. Martin is start- ing his training a little early in order to be in the best of shape when he tackles the Hartford borer. Martin’s opponent in his training workouts today was Frank Farmer the big Wisconsin middleweight who has the name of being one man who has scored a knockdown over Jimmy Clab- by. Martin and Farmer went through four rounds of slugging that had the crowd in the gym on their toes from the moment the first bell clanged. It looked more like a real firght than a sparring exhibition as both men tore after each other as though out for vengeance. Martin wrked his right cross, it being in perfect order. He caught Farmer tearing in time and time again with this blow, and then he staggered him with another valley of blows. From the way Martin acted in his first workout for the Ames fray it looks as though “Red” is in for the battle of his 1 While Martin is busy preparing for the combat in Gothan, Ames is doing his preliminary work in his home town Hartford. “Red” is busily ; working at a local gym with three sparring partners and acording to the news received in this city he is mak- ing life miserable for his trainers. Red has a few pounds to take off before he is down to the middleweight limit but he informed his manager that he will get rid of the extra avordupois in a few days working. Jimmy Reilly the sixteen year old Gothanm pheno mwho wil meet Sam- my Waltz in the ten round semi- final to the Martin-Ames battle will do his training for the fizht at Brown's gym in New York. As Reilly is always in great shape he will have little work to do in order to fit him- ! self for the bout with Waltz. MORE COURT HOUSE BASEBALILL.

We followed Travers for the greater part of 54 at Baltusrol in the Open snd have since played four rounds with him on different courses.

But it so happened that he had been dumb from birth, afflicted utterly with a tongue that might not speak. McLoughlin and Yost. Sir: I see where ‘“Westerner” picks McLoughlin to beat Williams at Forest Hills. It isn’t very likely. McLoughlin in other seasons adopted the pclicy once credited to Yost in fctball—that a fine attack was the best defense. Lately he has aban- doned this old smashing attack for a style that needs a strong defense— and he has never mastered a defense that could meet u strong attack, largely because he never had to. The fact remains that McLoughlin now loks to be caught half way between 1two styles, and it is hardly probable +hat he will get clear in time to beat a man like Norris Williams. 1913-1915.
