New York, Dec .22.—One Round Ho- gan was given the popular declision over Battling Neison, former light- weight champion of the world, in a ten rolund bout at the Madison A. C. nere tonight. Nelson failed to show his old cham- pionship form. The crowd conceded almost every round to the Californian. Hogan was effective with his punches, | while Nelson's work was almost alto- gether infighting, which did little age. Despite i's one-sidedness, bout was a fast o) Hogan weighed in at 134 pour 6 p. m. and Nelson at catchwei about five pounds heavier. COHEN LANDS BOUT WITH ABE ATTELL.

C. in substituting Johnnie Doyle of Philadelphia for Young Dyson as the Doy to meet Young Cohen, the English bantam, goes to put even more class into the coming ten round bout than if Dyson haq stayed. Young Cohen springs In- to prominence by being matched to meet Champion Abe Attell in New York on Jan. 20, and Johnnie Doyle has just been matched for a go with top-nitcher, Frankie Burns. This puts the N. L. A. C. all to the merry, as they get th e crelit for bringing together two boys that are thought worrh while to meet the best and the resulting bout shouil be ome of the best ever card- ed in Connecticut.

Baw weather kept a crowd from see- ing Bill Collins of Central Village and Bill Kolch of Newport, R. I, wrestle for mearly an hour at the Scenic the- ater, Danfelson, Friday night. The match was billed best two out of three falls, catch as catch can, to a finish, but neither man got a fall during the time they were on the mat. The men agreed to meet in another match here at an early date Harvard vs. Columbia for Chess Title. New York, Deec. Columbia and Harvard maintained their respective rositions in the 26th annual collegiate chess tournament as a result of the play today in the second round. Co- 1: mbia defeated Princeton by the scoro of 3 1-2 to 1-2, while Harvard ac- cotnted for Yale by precisely the same score. The tle between Harvard nd Cclumbia was therefore unbroken, each tniversity belng credited with totals 07 7 1-2 points out of a possible 5. The final round tomorrow, in which Folum- bia must meet Harvard, will determine the champlonship for 1912. Laurel Hills Have Two Games. The Laurel Hills go to New London tenight for a basketball game with the New London Manual Training. and on Christmas night play the Crystals of New London at the Y. M. C. A. gym- nasium here. 'FINANCIAL AND I RATING OF PITCHERS. | No Good Plan Yet for Comparing Worth of Flingers. Somewhere between 109,000 systems of getting at a pitoher's worth have been offered and the end is not yet, or soon. What really counts in pitching is hitting. That should be the founda- tlon of every method in rating the slabmen, says the Brooklyn Eagle. But there are other points to be remem- bered. When the league officials and the unofficial statisticlans come out of their trance tiey will take Into consid- eration the number of men who reach t base without the aid of an error. ses on balls and men hit by the cher should be an element in the to- but all that is disregarded now, as 1t is in the calculations based strict- Iy upon (he number of safe swats a - is reached for in the course of ief bow on the diamond. perfect pitcher is the one who 7 men face him in a nine-inning None of these should be forced at second because none is supposed to have reached first, If all pitchers were perfect and nobody reached first the baseball season would last apout a week. As most of our players used six months’ work to relleve anemia of the bank roll it is perhaps just as well that the perfect pitcher occurs about three times, as has been the case in the last thifty years. Cy Young pitch- ed one perfect game against the Ath- l=tics, the late Addle Joss pitched an- other, but these were freak exhibi- tions. Young, Mathewson, Johnson and all the other stars have been driven from the box more than once, and will be again, hence the joy of baseball. You never know what you are going to get Fielding will always remain a fac- tor in pitching, but it cannot be esti- mated at its real worth in any method of rating the * arlers. A fast, 10-sec- ond sprinter of the Dr. Harry White order will throw out in the course of the season a score of men who would perfectly safe. If they bunted to the uged and adiposed Cy Young, al- thougn Cy is brisker as a coverer of a fielder than his mammoth-like propor- | tions d lead our boys and girls to | belteve if they never saw him in action except at a beefsteak dinner. The bunts that are_outs for White are often safe for Young, so that in the long run the hit is the best estimate of & pitcher's ability, when taken in onjunction with the passes and men hit by inshoots. McGraw Satisfied With Giants. John McGraw, when asked in Ha- vana one day last week to outline his plans for next season, was quoted as saving that he would make no change in the Glants’ regular lneup. “We had a good team this year,” suid the | litle manager, “and the men will greatly improve next season. It is wise to let well enough alone. Some of the young feilows lacked experience | during the recent campaign, and that was why we los®the world’s series. I n not worTving aout the future.
