a If \ | 14 New Cork-Centred Ball Prob: ably Responsible for Tigers’ Great Lead in the American League Race. Conrright, 1011, by The Pree Publishing Co | (The New York World), fans all over the coun- been commenting on the unusual number of errors and of home runs In this season's games. A it is unlikely that the breed of ball play- ers has changed much in a short six months the players can hardly be re- sponsible for the changed conditions. ‘The reason can be found in the new cork-centered ball, expecially designed | to increase hitting. Detroit seems to have benefited by the | new ball more than other clubs, simply because the Tigers are hitting Ike a streak, The new ball seems to leave the bat Ike @ bullet. A long drive travels like an infleld hit, without losing speed. This makes the bal! harder to handle, Which accounts for the increase in er rors. OME queer things happen in ama- teur sport, especially in boxing as conducted in some am | athletic clubs, presumably under A. U. rule and sanction. Up in Boston recently held a boxing the B.A. A. armament. As usun the prizes were gold wate and Well-and liberal treatment. For many y the B, A. has been noted its “Iberality” to boxers winning in| amateur tournaments. | ‘This particular nament happened to be held at the end of a week in which the I A.

However, | the party of boxers that travelled to| Boston included a “Gene Ottison.” It also included veveral people who ear- ried large rolls of bills. In Boston was the amateur heavy- Weight champion, one Serrino, reputed to “pack an awful wallop.” In Boston Berrino was so well liked that the Bos- ton sports freely offered odda of 7-5 that he would knock Ottison out inside | of three rounds. When the men climbed into the ring the New York bunch was busy laying bets. The fight started, and “Ottison” calmly walked out to meet Serrino's first rush. Tapping lightly with his lest, shot vet. | he the Boston nian went down like a log, | Knocked cold. Without even back, “Ottivon’ walked to and began taking off his glov ‘The joke on the B. A, A, A.

And the “wise bunch” around Boston cleaned | up $2,000 his corner | in wagers, Also Benedict received the $8 gold wach and the —well—the “liberal treatm accorded to amateur boxers by the B.A, A When the facts leaked out in Boston there was a nice hullabaloo, But what | ean the B.
