In the Johnson which was lucky, for he was pretty fat, and wouldn't have lasted long under that Cuban sun bad there been much footwork or hauling about nec- essary. HILE Bill Brown wasn't se- “lected ns referee, he can have the satisfaction of knowing that about nine-tenths of the people im New York wanted to see him in > the ring, because of the clean-cut and coldly businesslike way in which he handled the two Moran-Coffey fights. Every éne knows that there's no Bill Brown will ever lose his im an emergency. DESPATCH from Chicago says that Jess Willard, ready to leave for New York, weighs 276 Pounds. A few days ago there was a that he weighed 286. I asked ‘Tom Jones about it. “Joa never weighed 286 in his !ife,"* waid,Jones, “That is—since he's been . He weighed as much as that before.

EVEN REFEREE CHARLIE }OM 5, EN Neo ane ts Down FING: Joe Tinker Will Try to Win National Flag With Team New Cubs’ Manager Will Use Practically Entire Lineup of Whales and Despite Fact That It Is Regardéd Inferior to Last Year's Chicago National Outfit He Declares He'll Cap- ture Championship Wit! It. By Bozeman Bulger. HERE may be some who doubt dhe wisdom of Joe Tinker's judgment, but none can deny him the courage of his convictions. Joe proposes either to show up the National League in the mater of gen- uine playing strength or to make @ joke out of himself, It is bound to be one or the other. “Yes, I am going to play Mike Doolan as my regular shortstop,” he asserts with much emphasis, “and I am going to play Steve Yerkes at second.” “And the outfield?” “Yes, and Iam going to play Flack and Zwiliing out there, too, What do you know about that? On tbp of that 1am going to come pretty darn near pennant. In fact, I think HARRY SINCLAIR GREATLY DISAPPOINTED BY SALE OF FED. LEAGUE STARS. The sale of Federal League stare has been quite a disap- pointment to Harry Cinclair. Out of more than 100 players he has disposed of less than twenty-five, and for none of these did he get within 50 per cent. of the price first zaked. It is eatimated Mr. Sinclair will wet something like $110,000 for the entire lot of Federal League players. ‘het represents the amount he will have left of the $500,000 the oll man was said to have put in tho outlaw league, As @ matter of fact, he didn’t put anything like that much money in the league. Business men who claim to know say that he Invested less than $300,00, and that as the Newark baseball property will be taken care of by Organized Baseball Sinclair will lose practically nothing. All of which means that we've got to hand it to Joe for real nerve. Against all advice and the guffaws of the rest of the league the former Fed- eral Leaguer is going to play a weak hitting, discarded shortstop as a reg- wlar on the Cubs, displacing Bob Fischer, who led the league last year, and he is going to have Steve Yerkes, a a discarded American Leaguer, @t] i, 4 natural hitter, second. ‘Two reliable fielders will be| bition spurred by ‘the chance for ar: chased from the outfield to make talnmonts, in @ now ‘field Meyers Zwill ought to do well. month a; feom for. ing and Flack, good |i ir Robinson told two of his trends players in the Federal League, bUt/gmong the baseball write: rs that if absolutely untried in the National. |there was @ chance of McGraw let- If Joe gots away with it we've got|ting the Chief go he would grab him to give him credit, He has main-/in @ minute. fe seems that Boston tained right along that his Federal|aiso wanted him and in the toss of League champion “W the coln Brooklyn won, of last year igs ood. enous Bing ie —— t in jon: wit!
