HOPEFUD? OF FUTURE
. C .. . , By W. V. ,Nnghtoa.
' Ban . Francisco, Jan. 20.It. is some
thing for a rising; young lightweight to
be able .to say. that he has .taken the
- measure of auch ' fellow aa Battling
Nelson and Knockout Brown, but when
;' In addition he Is spoken of by Champion
Ad ' Wolgast as . the ; most promising
' youngster in the : 133 pound 'division,
'r there la every reason why he should
feel hoppful about the future.
Fred Hogan, who la known to fame a
"One Hound" Hogan, (8 the youth re
ferred to. He has Just paid a visit to
Ban Francisco, his "home town," and
has been received right royally by his
friends In this burg. Hogan was ac
companied by his manager, Gil Boag of
Mew York, who is more man ' anthusl
astic about his young charge, One needs
to converse with Hoag a very, fsw mUi
utes to discover that he believes lis has
a coming champion In tow.,-' ; ; ,
' rout Bonad yrodaot.1',
' Hogan is a product of San Francisco's
four round game, a 'pugilistic training
school that never yet turned out a
dunce.'' ' At that it is largely a forcing
bed. It teaches young boxers to crowd
all the action they are capable of Into
T four three minute spells of action. Natu
rally, , after being ' grounded ' .in : such
, methods of breakneck': milling, the four ,
' rounders , are apt-to continue along auch
lines after they graduate into the broad-J
' r fields of professional pugilism.
' And very often this 'clinging to the
early notions proves s detriment. They
find they can do beter when they have
learned to temper the: violence of their
attack and wait for openings; to rate
. themselves, in. fact, as experienced ring
)nn do.ii...'',' '' :-'f:' rA;,.; , :..;..:.'..,
V While he doesnt' say so in as many
'words, Hogan rather Infers that It was
, by boxing In , the old- four round style
that he rendered himself an easy mark
' for Ad Wolgast In New iYork.
' 4 ', fought Himself Out.
"I fought myself out- in the f Irsl
"' round," said Hogan.": "I was so tired
when I stepped up for the second that
J could not .hold up my bands.
"I was green In many ways. When I
found I could not " defend myself, It
would have been easy for me to drop
from a punch and take as much of the
count as the law allows, but I guess 1
was too proud to do anything like (hat
,Th referee saw" I was helpless and
'.stopped the bout" ,
t "It must be rememberer that. Hogan
had only four months of professional
experience behind him at that -time,"
- remarked Manager Hoag. "He has
learned the angles of the game since
then, a contest worth witnessing will

to contain notic of hi performances.
But he has made wonderful strides and
deserves a world of credit for the way
be has sent himself to the front" .
While . Hogan believes that a meet
ing between Wolgast and himself Is in
evitable and, for that matter, is notably
sanguine as to what will happen when
the eventful day comes,1 ha Is one of
little Ad's most ardent admirers.
HYA" Wolgast Oood Tellow. '"," :X'
He says he discovered lit' Wolgast the
qualities of true friendship and that,
apart from all ' business or professional
connections, he would feel seriously
grieved, if It should turn out' that; the
operation' underwent by Wolgast pre
vented him mingling In th burly-burly
of ring affairs again. V' ;rW7,
"I look to htm to get well and be as
strong as ever," said Hogan. "He has

After their raeeUng In New York., Ho

"I Ilka him but I think I have solved
bis curves," said Hogan. "There will
be bo slang-whanging. before our match
and no bitterness after It, but we will
have it out Just the same.' :
Makes Weight sasy. '.; 'x
At one time in, Hogan's career and
a short career It- has been there wet
doubt he would be able to conform with
comfort to the weight requirements of
the lit pound class.- Now he finds no
difficulty in making the notch. t
v'Tho reason is clear enough to me,"
said Gil Boag.- 3"Hogn did not know
what a proper course of training was
until he underwent a preparation for his
second bout ' with Knockout Brown. Hi
bad a habit,, of tearing off weight In a
hurry and very often tried to make
weight at extremely short notice. Right
ly handled, he can be brought as low
as . 130 pounds without any loss of
strength. He is a legitimate lightweight
and will never have any trouble on the
score, of poundage."
It may be .that Hogan's next contest
will be with Packer McFarland. It
may be, again, that he will hook up for
the third tints with Knockout. Brown.
But these meetings. In his own opinion,,
will be merely stops by the wsyslae.
There la nothing in prospect to hinder
his march toward the championship cit

As Rule Horses Which Made

. eral Average.
As a rule the horses that have made
trotting history , on American soil have
been those of medium else. Great
Eastern was an exception, and so was
Mosul, and we have read of ' other
equine giants on the trotting turf. But
the rule is as stated.: Lady Suffolk,
the first trotter to trot as fast as 2:30
or better, was scant 15 hands. Flora
Temple, the first trotter to beat 2:20,
was about 14.3 hands. Dexter,' the first
horse to beat Flora's time, was about
15.2. Sunpl. on the other hand, was
nearly, if not quite. It hands, If we re
member rightly.
Nancy Hanks was scant 15 hands.
Arlon'rand Directum, . both champion
trotters in their day, were about 15
hands. ' General Watts, the first entire
1-year-old to trot as fast as 2:06, is
scant 15 hands. Colorado E., the great
est J-year-old trotter ever foaled, prom
ises to develop Into a 16-hand horse.
Uhlan, king of trotters, is close to 15.2
hands high. Croscous. king of trotting
stallions for many years, was close to
16 hands, while the Harvester, who in
1810 siexed the crown that the noble
son of Robert McGregor had carried so
gallantly for so many years, Is fully
15.3 hands In height
Helens Has Nineteen.
Manager Irby of the Helena club, has
19 players under contract for the 1812
season. Irby expects a couple of good
players from Joe Cohn. Gene Baker, a
brother of Del Baker, Is among the list
of Inflelders. Del Baker's name also
appears on Irby's list, but Joe Cohn
stated that he will give Baker another
tryout next season, as he was loaned
to the Helena club.

Black Marks.
Mike Donlin snd Jimmy Callahan are
most prominent among the "comebacks"
In baseball, and it can be directly at
tributed to the fact that both f these
worthies mounted the , water wagon
years' ago and have been riding It ever
since. ; Just nosr . there are , two play
ers In the National league whose repu
tation 'for" Inebriety Is such that neither
is apt to hold his Job very long. They
are Bailee of the St Louis Cardinals
and Larry McLean of the Cincinnati
Reds. In speaking of this pair the St.
Louis Post-Dispatch prints the follow
ing! "The cases of Mike Donlin and James
J. Callahan ought to tell all that la
necessary about the art of coming back.
The instances of both are parallel and
the theme of both is pf the wayward
youth who transferred his affections
from the wine when it was red to the
water when It was white, and not taken
'on the side.'
"Both Callahan and Donlin quit major
league baseball careers and left the
potent stuff behind. Neither Donlin
nor Callahan has for several years de
scended from the throne of the sprin
ter's driver. As a result, when they
wanted to get hack Into harness there
were no black physical marks to be
rubbed off the slate. A little over
weight, which never hurt a clean In
terior, was all that incumbered them.
So Jimmy and Mike both came back
and, evidently, to' stay.
'This means that Harry Bailee and
McLean need not give up all hope.".

New York, Jan. 20. Vacation time

the club will begin to move to the

And yet one ventures to say that
when the championship season begins tn

will probably be no greater than it has
been.' ' ' ' . ,;'
, And yet many of those youngsters
who will be turned back will have the
making of great ball players. Managers,
the best of them, are not gifted with
infallible Insight. For . instance, it
would be possible to tine up one of th
Strongest teams in the country made up
entirely from players who have been
turned down by one or more major
league clubs. Keen eyed scouts and
managers not infrequently -overlook a
real ball player simply because he hap
pens to be going poorly at the time that
he was being observed. -Here is a ltst
of a few players who were discarded
once or twite and are still numoerea
among the good ball players of the
majors: ..
-, Catchers Archer (released by . De
troit). Thomas (from the Yanks).
Pitchers O'Toole (cut adrift by Cin
cinnati and Boston). Ford (turned back
by Yanks), Suggs (released by Detroit).
Keefa (released by Yanks).

Cleveland). , . .--
Moon, base Neal Ball (released by

Third base Mowrey (cut adrift by
Reds).
Outfield Jackson (turned back by
Athletics), Cree (turned hack by De
troit), Lord (turned back by Phila
delphia and Cleveland).
DAVY JONES BOOSTS
GENE KBAPP'S STOCK
Davy Jones, the veteran outfielder
of the Detroit Tigers, pays high re
spects to Gene Krapp, former Portland
pitcher. Davy is quoted ss follows!
"I look for this little KUDDer Knapp,
the Detroit boy, to prove , one of the
stars of the league before long. Krapp
crtainly can put a lot of stuff on that
ball, and he Is a wonderful fielder and
fast on the bases. His trouble right
now Is wildness. and if. ever he over
comes a tendency to hit everybody who
faces him or to pass 'em all, he win be
one of the toughest propositions In the
country.
'With a good catcher like Livingston
down there to coach him' and steady
him in the pinches, 'Rubber' ought to
acquire control gradually. Probably he
will not be able to throw the ball
through a six-inch circle every time he
tries at first, but there should be a big
improvement In his aim."
