His jexists ax Ralph Gruman Jcareer shows just how the boxfight game has developed into a press agent proposition. Some of the most awkward dubs in the country are actually press- agented {nto champlonship chances Here's a fellow who has 32 victories to his credit, ahd he is unknown tn some parts of the country. Given an uptodate press agent, he would be quibbling with Freddy Welsh or Charley White over championship match, and getting lot of advertising, to say nothing of numerous big offers, Gruman started in amateur bouts at his home, Portland Then he broke into the professional ranks, went to San Francisco, won the Coast champlonsbip and started for New York. There he whipped Joe Azevedo, Jimmy Duffy, Red Mortar- ity and a few others, and ts about to be matched with Johnny Dundee. Abe Attell, featherweight cham plon 12 years, took one look at Gru man and picked him as a coming champion. He may be quite a while coming, but a fighter with the goods he has is bound to get there some time, ‘TWO SEATTLE BOYS WILL HAVE SWIMMING ACT IN VAUDEVILLE Crane has developed a strong backstroke, He learned the meth ‘CALLAHAN WILL MANAGE PIRATES PITTSBURG, Dec. 17.—James J Callahan, ex-White Sox manager. will manage the Pittsburg Pirates. it was announced by President Bar ney Dreyfuss last night.

I expect little trouble from the players question. There were not many stars who jumped from our league, The few who leaped in mid-season will never be taken back,” said Johnson.
