Gene McCann. manager of the
Bridgeport club of the Connecticut
league is a great booster for pitcher
George Upham. who was. with the
Yankees in 1909 and who will try
again for a regular billet with the
club unless he Is sent to Atlanta. Up-
ham was always a rangy fellow but
last yearbook on about IS pounds of

in every sense of the word. McCann
believes that within a very abort time
Upham should prove able to make the
best of the big leaguers bustle.
There is a slight possibility of the
Bridgeport club changing -nands in tbe
immediate future but this will scarce-

overlooks the two seasons that ha

The Punch Is the Th.ng-Lack Of It
Keeps Conley From Being A Champion
Coulon Retains
As we suggested Friday if there
were to be a winner of the Coulon-Con-ley
fight over the 20 hole course John-
ny Couioa was our choice for the same.
Coulon breezed home in the lead all
right but he knew that he had been
in a fight when he got through.
Conley is of the chrome steel con-
stitution which seemingly can stand
anything. Like Battling Kelson there
apparently is no limit to the amount
of punishment which he can assimilate.
Like Battling Nelson also he seems to
lack the punch.
Various stories are told of Battling
Nelson's punch and the conflictions
lead to a good many conclusions but a
perusal of the Battler's record shows
that he -hasn't got the kick and the
majority of his fights were won after
be had worn his opponent to such a
state of utter exhaustion that almost
any sort of & bang would blow up the
show.
Likewise is Conley. The little Ital-
ian is the second cousin of a punch-
ing bag. His sturdy Jaw Just sets it-
self the harder under punishment. That
he is not a champion is because he
lacks the vital factor of the punch.
It is probable that had he been able
to rain the punishment on Coulon that
Coulon did on him Saturday afternoon
at Los Angeles that there would have
been a new champion today. But he
souldn't. He took six punches to land
one.
We expect to see Coulon dodge Con-
ley for a long time now. With two
19 round decisions over the little' Ital-
ian it is not necessary to meet him
again for some time and you may write
it- lr vmir little done book that no
i champion likes to meet a tough one like
Conley oil or wnom puniwimcm
pounces like thrown pebbles from a
brick wall.
Coulon is without a logical opponent
for his honors and he may now pick
up the soft money which comes to a
champion. Lots of little fellow about
the big cities are developing however
and there is no telling when some
young 116 pounder wiM be thought well
enough of to meet Coulon. And cham-
pions do not go on forever.
The next big championship mill to
absorb attention is the Kilbane-Attell
contest which will be fought In the
same Vernon arena at Los Angeles on
Feb 22. From a distant perspective
It appears to us that Attell haa the
Tinest chance to lose his title that he
has run in a good many blue moons.
Abraham Lincoln has been a won-
derful figtater. perhaps the most won-
derful champion that ever fought At
least no champion ever preserved his
title for the length of time that Able
has clung to the featherweight honors.
But the wise ones figure that Attell Is
going back now and Johnny Kilbane

He and Willie Keeler Have
Peculiar Town-to-Town
Experiences.
It is hard to find in baseball a ease
parallel to that of old Cy Young's not
in Young's length of service but In
the fact he pitched for a major league
club in one city drifted away from
that city for years and then returned
as a pitcher for the rival league club
of the same city. Thus Young and Bos-
ton established a case not quite unique
but rare.
Willie Keeler underwent a like ex-
perience. Keeler played a few games
with the New York Nationals away
back in the early '90s aild after nine
j ears of service in Baltimore and
Brooklyn became a member of tbe
New York Americans. More than that
he played with the Giants again after
being released by the Hilltop club
In having played with three teams iq
one municipality and two different
times with one of those teams his ex-
perience is unique. Young's career also
includes being a member of tbe Cleve-

days and then after playing in St

land as an American league player.

More Hints From an Old Bookmaker.
W. G. Yanke the promoter and book-
maker long prominent at the Juarez
track has leftfor Charleston. S. C
and thereby hangs a tale. Some time
back when the Judges of the race track
started to rule off and suspend several
top notch riders little knots of men
who frequent the race track could be
noticed discussing in subdued tones the
actions and probable causes of the au-
thorities. Once or twice the name of
Yanke was heard. But no matter how
much crookedness has happened or how
many jockeys were ruled off. it Is alto-
gether the fault of the Jockey club
because they are so hoggish as to their
propensities in trying to force a few
bookmakers to pay the entirely dis-
proportionate sum of $1800 to $1900 per
day for the privilege of doing business.
Now it stands to reason that book-
makers are not any bigger fools than
ordinary business men and they na-
turally got together and formed some
means of dividing the expenses stifling
competition snortening the odds f.na
protecting themselves in general.
Well Mr. Yanke merely bet on his
horses when he thought they could win
and laid his odds against the rest of
the field. Half tbe time he was suc-
cessful. If he didn't think they could
win then he laid against his own and
often kept the money which proved his
judgment good. All his actions merely
show good ring management and it
is all the fault of the association to
permit a toorse owsier to book or a
bookmaker to own horses.
That is one reason tfiat causes the
exceedingly bad odor another is to ex-
pect them to pay the entire amount of
purses that the horses race for. and
that is a powerful reason. It looks
like these bard booters wont stand for
Yanke because he can protect himself.

He cussed the whole gang out on the

he does things openly and cleanly but

permit any one to book and own
horses too.
It is the writer's purpose not to up-

When the Detroit club won the Am-
erican league pennant three times in
succession under the fiery leadership
of Hughey Jennings the premium on
baseball team work slumped. It was
an open secret that the Tigers employ-
ed only the skeleton of a secret code
and relied on waHoping the ball and
Individual effort to pile up scores and
thus a pennant..

successive world's series.
Behold now. Connie Mack who has
always been an advocate of "inside"
ball. He slaps together a club which
goes to a pennant and then to a world's
championship and ft was done greatly
on the merit of team work. Even
though they were beaten the first
game by New York those who knew
the Athletics well felt sure that the
slick system of Mack would triumph
before the series was over and It did.
Jennings's team was one which relied
absolutely on work Individualistic while
Connie's club plays as a unit with the
one grand goal of victory. It-has been
said that the Detroiters were more
sealaus of their individual batting av-
erages than anything else.
Stra'ght-away slugging is a great

But this sort of ball is erratic whereas

and it was to result in tbe erection of
a "costly clubhouse at the Juarea
track." as costly and as fine as tbe
grrat hotel that E Paso was to get
This great "boon" has failed to keep
to schedule.
There are no permanent profits in
swapping dollars among the profes-
sional race gamblers who compose the
much touted colony of "eastern mil-
lionaires" rtio stay in the South El
Paso street rooming bouses because the
air is better than at the hotels.
If iou want to see the blooded fol-
lowers of the game who were adver-
t'sed as coming to El Paso In private
cars look into any of the cheap-
restaurants at meal time or observe
them picking their teeth o'n the down-
town street corners Just after dark.
It is in fact a case of "dog eat doc"
across the river and "the big dog take
'em "all."
At the time W. G. Yanke was ordered
to discontinue his bookmaklng opera-
tions the Juarez correspondent of the
San Francisco Post sent his paper the
following:
"Juarez. Mcx.. Jan. 13. At a con
ference here today between W. G.
Yanke and M. J. Winn manager of the
Juarez track it was suggested by the
latter that Yanke discontinue his book-
making operations in the future
Yanke saw the point and will cease
operating.
"Yanke is the owner of a large stable
of horses and he has provided winners
so frequently that it is considered much
to the Interest of the sport that he dis-
continue his operations.
"Manager Winn explained the situa-
tion to Yanke thoroughly and the lat-
ter acquiesced to the ruling. All sorts
of rumors have been afloat regarding
Yanke's operations. Invariably when
a horse of his wins a race he is cred-
ited with winning a fortune. It has
even been suggested that he had some-
thing on the Juarez game and it is
thought here that the sport will be
much more satisfactory if he contines
his attention entirely to the running
of his stable."
Not long after this episode. Yanke
took all his horses and went east with
them.

Los Angeles. Feb. S My little friend
Ad Wolgaat came to call last night
and we had a dandy time.
Ad is chuck fall of hwnor and queer
whimsical bits of phnoeophy. I like
to talk to Mm.
Just at present the champion Is
full of finance.
"I'm going to eat Into some of this
easy money they are making out of
real estate." he said.
"Nearly all fighters when they get
through with the ring try to go Into
the saloon business and go Into bank
ruptcy instead.
"A fighter when he Is all in. al-
ways figures it oat that If he goes Into
the saloon business his friends will
come around and bring him trade.
That's where they get off wrong.
"When a fighter is all te and has to
drop out of the ring he hasn't got
any friends. When he drops the ring
his friends dtop him. So they all
go broke. When I think of all the
fighters who had made fortunes dur-
ing the last ten years. I don't know
half a dozen who have any money
left- I
"Take it from me: I'm going to
plant mine in California land where
I'll have something to show for If
Wo ilui talked of fights- I
Ad thinks that Abe Attell has a
better chance than Johnny Kilbane In
their fight on Washington's blrth-
Abe's too wise." said Ad. "Kil-
bane Is a. clever young fellow and
very fast and all that but Abe knows
tricks aboutfl8-brlng that Kilbane nev-
er heard of."
"I won't fight Packey McFarland."
said Ad discussing his own future.
"Packey's a dead one "
"When Jimmy Coffrotn wanted me
to fight him In San Francisco he of-
rrA mo J5.000 After Packey Mc
Farland fought Harlem Tommy Mur-
pbv on Thanksgiving day Jimmie
made me another offer. This time it
was onlv $i:500. Do you get that?

"I'm not fighting anybody for a
song and I'm not fighting anybody
-who has gone back one half I don't
want any half portions for mine. Any-
body who can't come In with a full
order don t get a matcn witn me.
"I hope nobody gets this boy Riv- i
ers before I do." said Ad anxiously. '
"I want to fight him some time
along next summer about September.
There aren't many live ones left in
the lightweight division and I don't
want to lose any chances."
Ad says that he will a-o back Into
the ring feeling better than eer be- '
fore in his life.
"I am stronger now. he said "than
I was before my operation My kid-
nes and bladder were in pretty bad
shape J nave oeen examined lately
and they are absolutely sound and
right now. X never felt better or
stronger than on this hunting trip.
