A year ago at this date two Boston clubs were picked to lead their cir- cuits and give the Citadel of Culture an exclusive world series. Then Ivers cracked an ankle, James lost a pitching arm, and only one of the iwo came through. Today two Boston clubs are again favored, and this time Stallings has fortified his machine against the set- backs that broke it a year ago. But there is this difference—the competi- tion will be far keener and the upward march for any club will be a tougher one. Yet with two such clubs it is fairiy fe to hint that Boston will at least take part in another world series, even if she doesn’'t gobble the entire show. crash. So broken—w he are some ass are soft, requiring no plexity. The pitcher facing Detroit in a tough pinch can pass Ty Cobb with nobody but Bob Veach and Sam ¢rawford left.

Suppose Freddie Welsh de- cides to hold the lightweight cham- pionship indefinitely by refusing to meet any good man in a twenty round match—by holding out for terms that no one can meet? There doesn’t seem to be any rule of the hoxing game to bar such a contin- gent, and Welsh has already shown that he isn’'t going to take any chances of losing his title for some time. He has been stalling for the greater part of two years now in ten round no-decision bouts—that is, aking no risk whatever. And the humor of it i still pay to Sir: see him in these affairs, drawn by the lure of his title when there are at least two lightweights who could knock him out in twenty Benny Leonard and Charlie White.
