Show Mondau Nieht ^ ._ -Promised WRESTLING TOO Byrne Toolan and Sophus Greisen to Meet in Bout ... That Will Go to 'Finish' In an effort to furnish one of the best attractions of the year at their Btag which will be held in their headquarters in New street Monday night, the members of the D. A. A. C. are trying to procure the services of Joseph C. Honan, "The Fighting Waiter." Honan has often been re ported as being willing to give an exhibition for the benefit of the D. A. A. C. boys and as he will now have the opportunity, fans are await ing to hear from him and his man ager as to whether or not he will go on at the next show. The committee in charge will try to get Kid Clemens to oppose Honan In this exhibition bout which will be scheduled to go three or four rounds, If arranged. Several other boxing exhibitions of classy calibre are also promised those who will attend the show. One of the main features of the evening, however, will be a wrest ling bout between Byrne Toolan and Sophus Greisen. These two athletes have met on two former occasions. I In the first clash they wrestled for fifteen minutes without result. The second bout went thirty minutes and no decision could be given. On Mon day night when these lads appear, they will go to a "finish." It is likely that should the match last more than one-half hour that the monotony of the affair would cause the manage ment to stop the bout. At any rate, everyone who has seen these war riors in action realize what thirty minutes of wrestling between these athletes will mean, and these fans will be on hand. Refreshments will be served throughout the evening, » free of charge. There will be several other wrestling matches, one of ■w hich will probably be between John Larson, of the D. A. A.

SPORT CRITIC THINKS BLACK A BETTER BOXER THAN HO NAN John Dunbar, who is conceded one of the beat critics in boxing circles in this city, has presented a few re marks to the sporting editor, in his communication, Dunbar sounds the praises of Joe Black in high tones, giving him all the credit possible. He states that Black is a better boxer than Honan but hands the "cake and plate" to "The Waiter" when he terms him a dangerous customer for ; anyone. Dunbar has many admirers who no doubt will accept his dope which is as follows: "I won't dwell on the merits of the boxers, Honan and Black as I saw them what's the use? Everybody in the house who was there knows what a fight It was, and while the decision went to Honan, there would go all praise to the loser, Black. He is η clever boxer and fair at all times, not looking to take at any time unfair advantages of an opponent. And how he can assimulate punishment. The recuperative powers of the man Is greater than any that I have seen, and I have seen Charlie Sieger and . Austin Rice, who were called "iron men." They should pass the! title on to Mr. Black. I was positive] that Black would not toe the mark for the fifth round after his lam besting in the fourth. I was getting ready for the gate but wonder of wonders he came up for the fifth and was apparently as strong as thoug.i he had just started. "Should I say Houan was a great boxer I would say what is not so. To my way of thinking, Black is a bet ter boxer, and what is more he was the aggressor all through the fight. He should lose no friends through his loss of the fight. He is game, boxes fair at all times, and has recupera tive powers that are simply wonder ful. As I have said often, it's re sults that counts and Honan deserves all credit. He has a punch and the faculty of placing it over on a spot that will do harm. That few boxers have. All the cleverness an oppenent may have goes as naught if this man lands right. He is a dangerous, cus tomer for anyone. I have heard it said since the fight by some that Black could bear him down in a long er fight. That's as it may be. But I have little use for such lalk of what might have been. When men sign articles they know just what is to be done, be it ten or twenty rounds and shape their fighting accordingly." JOHN DUNBAR. TWO GAMES ON COPPER WORKS Dexters to Oppose Iroquois in Priliminary to Franklin Battle Sunday. Baseball fandom will liave cauee to rejoice on Sunday for the Dexters will make their debut on the base ball diamond, having for their op ponents Chief Payne.and his band of Iroquois.

C. of Yorkville. The Iroquois do not feel depres sed despite their defeat at the hands of the South River team Sunday, and they expect to show good form in Sunday's game. Charles Yenk will appear at third base, the difficult sack for the Iro quois and he is preparing to cele brate his comeback in grand style. Foley and Mullina will be on the slab for the Iroquois with Bader on the receiving end of the battery.

Some high speeds were attained by the early English railroad trains. The Illustrated Loudon News of Aug. 10, 1844. records that four days previously "the Journey from Slough to Padding ton was accomplished in less time than the distance had ever been traversed. The eighteen miles and a quarter only occupied fifteen minutes and ten sec onds." So early as 1S41 it was an nounced that Brunei for a wager of £1,000 ($5,000) was about to run a train from Bristol to Loudon within two hours. This feat does not appear to have been accomplished.

LATEST COSSIP AMONG SPORTS Some of Things That Are Discutsed Today. BY HAL SIIKRIDAN. (Written for the United Press.) New York, April 24:—Already there is a lot of talk in baseball circles about training plans and ante season methods which may be in augurated in 1914. The accident to Chance in the exhibition game with Brooklyn two days before the real opening, and injuries to Wagner and Paskert, of Pittsburgh, on the eve of the Big Day, together with numer ous other accidents to players of lesser fame, have made the managers think. They are wondering if the exhibition game Is worth the candle after all. They frankly admit that heavy training expenses have made good exhibition dates look doubly good to them, but with minor league teams or cellar contenders in the op posite big league straining their heads off to make a "rep" by "beat ing the champs," the real wonder is that more of Buch accidents don't occur. Then, too, managers have been too ready to take chances to fill exhibition engagements regard less of weather conditions. Witness the Brooklyn-Highlands affair which was ushered in by a light fall of snow! Imagine what the tempera ture on such a day will do to a pitcher's salary arm, unless, perhaps the pitcher hails from Greenland. The point is that exhibition games have begun to assume too much the proportions of the win-at.-any-cost type. And it's a big question whether such chances ought to be taken when so much depends upon a rapid get-away. Willie Ritchie has something more to worry about. Joe Rivers is the cause of it. The Mexican's work against I.each Cross entitles him to highest respect and no small consid eration as the logical next opponent for the champion. Ritchie is good, but he will do well to be very carç ful in preparing himself for rising TV i I'flra If Ban Johnson carries through that scheme of his for making the games shorter and snappier It will make a big hit with the fane, and u bigger hit with the patient or other wise ones who wait supper at home. Johnson's plan is to have a new ball thrown In every time a batter knocks a foul, thus saving the minutes con sumed in the catcher chasing wide ones that don't go over the grand stand. Johnson suggests that two boys in uniform be employed to re trieve all such fouls. There will be no trouble getting and keeping such help. And no club will have to pay more than a million a minute for tlfe work. Up at South Bethlehem, Pa., they have chosen a captain of the Lehigh wrestling team. His name is Frank Gotch, a 140-pounder from Balti more. There must be something in a name after all. McGraw, according to the head lines, will retain Jim Thorpe. Of course lie will. And that's no big surprise. Even if it takes Thorpe years to show that he belongs he will probably be· given the best chance a young man ever had to break in. McGraw is too much a be liever in publicity not to work it for all it's worth. Then if Thorpe does turn out to be only an average play er McGraw will get 100 per cent, on his investment. It remains to be seen whether the proposed rule regarding the suspen sion of players for profane and vic ious language "without the formali ty of a hearing" is a good one. If it is a flagrant case of cussing the rule is good. But otherwise it gives the umpire too much power for on the umpire's word alone a player could be ruled out with no possibility of a como-back. The rule is along the lines of making the greatest of games cleaner but as suggested, it makes no provision for htiman frail ty on the part of the umpire. At the Devil's Gate. Some people knock so hard at thi devil's gate that one could supvoe». they wero afraid he might be inclined to admit them. Ail the news for 10 cents a week.
