1110.
Sporting Editor:
is the "White Hope," Joe Rocker,
rated as 11 middleweight or
weight? MATCH.
Editor's NotowJoe went on
heavyweight. although we believe that
he would'qnalify better as a middle-
weight.
Sporting Editor:
Has the. team for the Norwalk ll. ll;
Club of 1912 been decided upon? it
so, will you kindly publish the names
of the players through your columns?
' FAN.
Editor‘s Note—Manager Gus Knorr'
has not yet imparted to 11s this data.
but we have the promise of the inun-
agement that information on this
score will be forthcoming in the near
future. The sooner the better.
Something 11 little extra is Yale's
sentiment about her baseball team this
year. She .is especially cocky about
her pitchers, so much so that Capt.
Merritt invited Walter F. Carter, the
well-known baseball coach, and Burn-
side Winslow, of catching renown, to
meet the. men in the Yale coach 1550111
at the Hotel Taft, New Haven. Mr.
Carter afterwards patted Capt. Merritt
on the back and assured him that his
team was a nonesuch. All of which
being the case. we better look out for
the Bulldog in 1912.
The action of the New Ymk liovlug
Commission in barring the kidney
heavy,
with.
O'Connell at the Annex A. C., as a,
punch is commendable and is the
charactei of action which goes to-
wards making better sport with more
sotw'uiit) to those who participate in
the game The kidney punch is wick-
ed. The blow is liable to be. deadly it
is man keeps at the game long
enough, and is perhaps the cause of
{men being forced out of the ringat
an curly age. Let us have good light-
ing. but for the love of Mike, make it
as clean as possible.
i m—
New Haven authorities seem to
agree 011 one thing in regards to the
!coming Benjamin Fo1d light and that
is that Ford will never be able to get
down to the required 133 pounds. the
weight agreed upon it this be true.
and tho doubt exists in the minds oi
,those who are recognized as author-i
tics, might it not be well for the oifl
clals of the affair to figure on just
such an occasion? The fans have not
yet‘l‘orgotten the last light that Raver
had in The Norwalks. This was be-
fore the Twin City Athletic Club at
the Auditorium. Raver and Dodo Ma-
hsr Were scheduled to box six rounds.
Muher showed 1111 in rotten condition
and about ten pounds over weight,
more or less. Raver refused to go on
with him, and in so doing he met
with the spectator's commendation.
in Dodo's place,5Red Jewell boxed.
The bout was listless, neither of the
men having the ambition or inclina-
‘tion to get into the tight. Rather
than have this.,ltapp5en again, it would
appear that. if l'lunny cannot get down
to weight and Raves persists in his
fagincemcnt would it not be well for
ithe management to investigate and
