A fight manager? Most Popular Athlete. Dear ¢ I know it is considered treason for any one to place Christy Alathewson second to any ball player, whether in popularity, efficiency or Inowledge of the game. I have at- terded National league games since 1886, and T can safely say that if the selection of the of all time was most popular player left to the fans of the country at large, Mike Kelly would be selected. As an idol of the fans he stands alone, just as Ty Cobb is the greatest player. I remember witnessing a game in ‘Washington when Xelly was with Chicago. He was playing right field. He missed an easy fly, and as he ws walking to the bench the bleache: ites began guylng him. He walkéd over and said: ‘Boys, you'll have to xcuse me, but I had a couple of beers before the game.”” Then he walked on to the bench. “We like you all the same, Mike,” was the +| shout that went up from the crowd. No other player, before or since, was ever as close to the fans of the country—was ever as universally loved. H. A. WALLACE. Mike Kelly was popular for the same reason that John Lawrence Sul- livan was popular—because both put their games above the pay-check and because both had unusual magnetism. Their sins and their virtues were all vivid, Their natures had an appeal beyond anything that mere ability cculd ever produce. Today the ‘great players of game are of a different type. They make no attempt to build up the affection of the crowd—or even to attract its notice. the The Big Pain. There are any number of agencies that can produce a vital, throbbing pain, but nothing that in this respect is beyond the average fight manager. This late Willard-Moran fiasco has been one of the most sickening cpisodes of the age. Here are two managers, plus accomplices, squab- bling over terms up around $50,000, when either Willard or Moran would be overpaid at $5,000. The whole smear of them out to- gether—fighters, ertire outfit—so far as actual earn- ing capacity is concerned, are not worth one-tenth of $50,000 for ten vears. And yet, even after all this recent muck, there are those who wonder why the fight game has a hard time getting along with any continued prosperity, A few months ago Mike Gibbons and Packy McFarland received $32,- 500 for a thirty-minute pillow fight. Flow much of this did they earn? One per cent. would be a heavy esti- mate. On that same day there were 50,000 bricklayers that earned, in- dividually, tvece as much as Gibbons and McFarland actually carned that night, Undoubtedly, Be fair about this. Don’t you believe that one of the things that has helped to develop all this amateur trouble has been the undue publicity given by the newspapers to the various winners—especially~ in the college end of it?

Willarq, world's heavyweight, is from Kansas, Gotch and Stecher, the two greatest wrestlers, are from Iowa and Ne- kraska.

Stecher possessed | enough wrestling tricks to throw | half a dozen such marvels. The match was for the best two out of three falls. Stecher plasted the Marvel's shoulders to the canvass first in 9:50 and the second time he turned the trick in The Ne- braskan’s famous scissors hold, in which he grips his opponent’s body in his ‘strong legs, was the cause of the Marvel's downfall. Twice Stecher got his hold on his hooded opponent and then pinned him down with a double wrist hold. Not once was the Marvel on the defensive. His stubborn defense, which has stood the test of so many bouts at the Man- hattan Opera House show, was easily swept aside by the lanky youth from the West. i There was a good-sized crowd ~-Joe Stecher, from Dodge, ed Marvel” ked Mar- in the Garden and it included folks no one ever saw before at a wrestling match. It was an unusual sight to see clubmen in evening clothes and women in evening gowns and opera cloaks in the boxes around the Gar- den ring. The thick haze of cigar smoke somewhat dimmed the lustre of diamond necklaces and caused many a feminine cough. There was lots of enthusiasm and the women did their share. Folks who live on Fifth Avenue and the upper west side were there, foreign-looking peo- ple from the artist colony in Wash- | ington Square, and all the familiar faces you see along Broadway. ; | BOYS’ CLUB QUINTET | START SEASON RIGHT | | Local Basket Tossers Have Easy Time Disposing of Kensington Opponents —Busy Secason is Planned.
