STRIKE THREA BY BOXERS N°’ come the striking pugilists! Headed by Freddie Welsh, the mitt slingers holding cards the Boxers’ Protection Association threaten to boycott the fight clubs of St plis and a general walkout of sured Welsh, thru his manager, Harry Pollok, demands that all union boxers be permitted to name their own referees, and that sy of America Paul and Minneap box-fighters union seems they be paid time and a half for every round after the first.| The news of the strike in the Minnesota cities has greatly disturbed the New York promoters. Pollok is now in New York and it is feared that he is seeking to unionize pork and bean gladiators of the Big Town. As a defensive measure the New York promoters are organizing to fight any exorbitant demands from the battlers.| Being a strikebreaker at a boxers’ strike must be a haz ardous occupation, While the union boxers seldom even ruffle one another's hair, there is no telling what they might do to} an outsider.

He was considered the best pitcher in the American association that year, His record was 22 games won and 12 lost : He proved a sensation in the National league at once. In 19098 was the practical leader of the older major league pitchers, with @ record of 12 games won and 3 lost. Thatyear he was the hero of the world series. He won three games from Detroit. In 1911 he won the most games of his career as a major leaguer. The next season he was not He won 21 games and New York's so effective, but in 1913 he had his best year. lost 10.
