When it comes to a show-down
few blalplayers can show up an um
pire. The Brooklyn Robins are going to
try out a pitcher named Wurm of St
Francis college. Another case of the
early bird.
Speaking from a musical view
point a biff on the bugle usually puts
one of the most important organs
out of commission.
Travel has a broadening influence,
as witness those lightweights who
go to Australia and return heavy
weights. Ah Chung, the Chiense lightweight,
is said to be the champion of Peking.
Being as how Peking was the center
of the Boxer rebellion we assume Ah
Chung's a clever guy.
The Dillon-Moran bout has pro
gressed so far that they are now
sparring only a column a day over
the referee.
A bike road race always draws a
goodly throng of spectators. It does
not cost them anything.
WALSH FAILS IN COME-BACK
LACKS FORMER STUFF
By Mark Shields
Twelve thousand fans went out to
Comiskey park yesterday to see a
pitching "duel" between Ed Walsh i

Probably half the crowd was drawn
to the park by the billing of the so
called "duel." This half would have
come just to see Walsh try his come

advertised. Washington is being
blamed for the "stung" feeling the
fans had after the game, but there
never should have been reason for
this feeling.
Walsh should not have started,
even against ateam which is in such
a batting slump as Washington. It
was apparent to those in the stands
that he didn't have any of the stuff
that made him the king of boxmen,
and surely this fact must have been
known to the expert baseball people
charged with direction of the Sox.
How much faith Manager Rowland
had in Walsh was shown in the first
inning, when Reb Russell started to
warm up as soon as the game start
ed. He didn't expect the Moose to
last, it seemed, and wanted to save
as much of the game as possible.
The fact that Walsh, the idol of
the South Side, was being knocked
off his pedestal seemed to make lit-
