Green the Fort Worth catcher went
to bat three times In the game with Gal-
veston and niHtle two hits.
Hunter Hill is teaching the Buffaloes
the value of pinch hitting as waa il-
lustrated In the Blxth inning yesterday.
"Bob" t'oxkhill and "Hub" Northen are
still at it; noth men lined out doubles In
yesterday's game against the Indians.
The Indians' ntlck work must have been
rather tame for Pat Newnam anil "Ka-
Kln" Burch had sixteen putouta between
them.
I'.y losing to Houston Oklahoma slip-
ped ba k into sixth place while Shreve-

"bustltiK" the UroncoB.
It war. in a measure a pitchers' contest
between Hie Pirates and the Naprs yes-
terday with Dilllard of .San Antonio get-
ting a shade the worst of it.
Proof of "Cy' Watson's quality was
mm Ii in fvbltnce yesterday; he fanned
seven Itravrs allowed but five hits and
Flint out "Doc" Andrews' warriors.
Both teams bad on the first speed
cl'iieh and pla'. ed the game In an hour
and forty minutes which was Ihlity-tive
ni.nutes fusur than Sunday's aroe.
ficeville has at l:.st succeeded In oust-
ing the Brownies from the cellar lead
and from all apjiearanies are destined to
retain their hold on the bo'tom rung for
some time to conie.
Bav 'ity made a ileanup of the dou-hle-headei
w.;h It.rvillo ypsierday and
won both games Ui runav.ay style. Tliese
two victories Rive them a prelty fair
lead over the other teams.
Merritt the youngster formerly of the
Houston team was signed by the Bee-
ville team of I lie South n est Texas Inanue
vesterday and will he on the mound for
that club today against Laredo
IIIk.'". the Panthers' center llelder was
ri'sponitllc for nearly all the runs made
b his team du: in; the came foV he made
a home riitt nd a double with men on
the bases and scored a run himself..
Not havliu; the services of an official
umpire nt Kort Worth yesterday Eill-
iran of the Panthers and Weyin of the
Si'.ndcrahs were t!ie arbitrators and there
is no vecoi d of aiKumcnis or disputes
durirrg the game.
The Pirates and the Broncos certainly
loe no sleep oxer their fondness for each
other for Sunday's Rtime went eleven tn-
nlny ftr a' 2 to I score while yesterday
Shrevepi rt just ngsed the ponies out In
the last inning 3 to 2.
A reus Item states that the manager
of the Denver club of the Western league

HEAVYWEIGHT GHAMPlbN OF
CHAPTER XLVIII.
.My Training at Harbin Springs.
When tho time came to train Corbett
went to Croll s Gardens In Alameda one
of tne prettiest little towns on the coast
Just across the bay from San Francisco
and I went bac to Harbin Bprlngs again.
I like the Springs for a training camp.
There Is a g5bd hotel run by my old
friend Jim Hayes and hla sons with cot-
tages around it. The place is several
miles from the nearest town and Is reach-
ed by stage. It Is In the bottom of a can-
yon with mountains all around. You
can't walk a hundred yards on level
ground at Harbin and I always like hilly
country for rood work. The hunting is
pretty go.xl.
I ha.l Bob Fltzslmmons with me now
as a sparring partner. A lot of friends
of mine came up smd stayed at the hotel
and watched my work every dav. It
was a sort of a family party. When 1
was training at the Springs for the fight
with Gltzsimmons all the ladles and chil-
dren at the hotel used to come down
to the gymnasium and see us box. We
were all good natured about it laughing
when we were hit hard. They used to
go away and say; "Why. there isn't any-
thing bad about fighting. It'e Just a
game for big boys."
It was tho same this time. Fltz used
to tear into me ami wallop away ax hard
as be cVnild as long as his wind held out.
and we'd both Joke and kid each other
while we were fighting. Bob went away
and got married. He came back anil
brought Mrs. Kltaslmmons. You ought
to have seen Hob after that. Instead of
putting on any old suit of black tights
and a black sweater when we were work-
ing together he came out In pink tights
like a circus tumbler with a fancy ribbon
belt and white chamois shoes anil babv
blue stockings. He'd nave bis hair ail
brushed back from his ears and waa
as pink and pretty as a picture. But
Bob was anxious to show how he could
fight. Whenever we put on the gloves
It was all hard and heavy work as long
as he lasted. I was getting Into prelty
good shape then although it is a fact
that I weighed 27ri pounds when I reach-
ed the Springs and had a lot of weight
to take off.
I had an accident early in my train-
ing that came near spoiling the fight.
One of the boys caught a young bear back
in the hilis. and they kept blm chained
up Just below the hotel near the road.
That bear cub grew so fast that in no
time he way a husky specimen. Fitz used
to call it bis hear and whenever we
missed Bob around the camp we could
find him Alt ting' on a log feeding the
bear lumps of sug.ir. The bear took a
great shine to FHzslhimonM and Boh'
grinned ail over and told everybody what
i:n animal tamer he was.
We hail a bull pup that was always
Jealous of the bear one clay I heard a
rumpus and ran out In time to save the
dog from being chewed up. The bear
was having ali the best of a scrap. Af-
ter pulling the dog away I began boxing
with the In ar Just for fun. He stood on
his hind legs and slapped at me and I
cuffed his C.J.-5. I guess he wa-s still In
n figh'ing humor or else I must have
hit him a Mltle too hard for he grabbed
my v rist and put his teeth through It
1 kicked him to male him lei go and
like a flash he had me by the calf. By
the time I cou'd tear loose he had chewed
holes in my leg that I could put my
fingers into.
I bail a pretty sore leg. Fltz wanted
t.i sew it up. He got a big needle and
some string and I ! t him get to work.
It was so tunny 1 bad to lie back in my
chair and laugh. My hide was so thick
and tough that Bob couldn't jab the
needle through ii. At last he. took a
small sharp knife blade and cut holes
f ir the needle and sewed the Idtes up
tight. That was a mistake. They should

have been left open to drain. In a day
or two my leg swelled up and got black
as far as the knee. 1 ran a knife blade
Into the sore spot and ripped it open to
let the air get at It. But that was an
awful leg. Billy Delaney was worried
to death for fear I'd get blood poisoning.
He sent for a doctor. I n- er did care
much for doctoring . ut after a lot of
argument I let. him clean the cuts out
and bandage my leg. The next clay It
was so stiff and sore that I pulled all the
bandages off again and left the wounds
open to the air to heal naturally. I got
so tired of keeping still that I went off
for a tramp over the hills but it was
hard work with a game leg. I let the
doctor bandage the leg up again and spent
my time lying around in a hammock.
I thought then I'd nave to put off the
date of the fight for a few weeks. My
leg was all black and looked pretty bad.
Bo 1 told Delaney and he telephoned
Coffroth in San Francisco. Coffroth came
rushing up on the nxt train to Callstoga
and took the stage over to Harbin.
"Jeff vou can't -rtDone the tight"
I said Coffroth. "It will spoil the crowd.
It'll cost you 120000 if you don t light
on scheduled time."
"I don't care" I s'd. "I'll not fight
anybody unless I'm in shape."
We argued and argued and at last Cof-
froth said: yJlm a lot of your friends
lave started to the coast from all over
the country. Most of them are business
men who can't afford to take another

A day or two after that tha doctor

waa no more danger of blood potaontng

a week the boy had been loafing. I
called them together now and w want

morning came around grinning and aald:
"Jim you're as big and strong as a
'ouse." We wound up with a hot gulphur
bath In the springs and a rub down.
In the afternoon I boxed and roughed
around with Joe again and with my broth-
er Jack and Flu in his pink and baby blue
tights. I played handball punched tha
bag skipped the rope a thousand times
and went for a run. When It waa ovar
some of us stood "out In front of tho hotel
r.hooting at a post 100 yards away across
the canyon. I used an automatic platol
and put several bulleU Into tha post. I
wound up by shooting all the spots out
of a ten of diamonds nailed to a stump
about nftv feet away. And after that I
felt like myself. I remember that I ate
a whole chicken for dinner that night as
well as a couple of good steaks.
I did a lot of hard training after that
hut not much boxing. I knew enough
about boxing and all I cared about was
getting into the ring with Corbett In
good fighting trim.
We still bad time for a little fun. Flta
was a great practical joker. One of our
friends at the Springs was a big police-
man from East Oakland who waa on
his vacation. He liked to Joke too. One
morning he rose before sunrise and stood
out In front of mv cottage singing songs
until he got us all out of bed. We ran
out and chased him but he escaped. After
breakfast I happened to see him standing
In front of (he hotel. Now there waa a
big fountain and a pool in front of the
hotel. I went over and got down- on my
knees by the pool at the same time tip-
ping a wink to Fits.
"I don't see the gold fish this year" I
called out.
"There never were any gold fish" aald
the copper.
"Oh. yes" I said. "Somebody turned
a lot of them in here last year. I used
to see them swimming around."
I leaned over and looked all around.
"There goes one now" I yelled.
The big cop dropped on his knees at
the edge of the pool and craned his neck
and Just then Flti slipped up behind him
quietly and gave him a shove. He took
a fine header and before he could climb
out again we were gone. That copper
always thought I pnehed him in. and It
used to make me nearly explode when
Fltz would go around with a solemn face
and syrr-iithlpe with him and agree that
Jeff's Idea of humor was a little too
rough.
I had a good Joke on Fltx while wind-
ing up the training. I got Bob to go
hunflnd with young Hayes and myself.
We went straight away from Harbin
taking pack mules and blankets and
staved three days. Hayes got a deer
and" 1 got two. Coming back I hiked for
camp with a buck over my shoulder and
Fits limped In three or four hours behind
me. He wouldn't quit but in the moun-
tains 1 could set a pace that carried Bob
off his feet.
