Whether boxing will be revived at Hudson. Wi., will be determined by the state boxing commission Monday. The board will hold an open hearing in the application of the Hudson Boxing club. When Minnesota became interested in the boxing game It spoiled things for the Hudson promoters, who now see a chance to revive things for themselves. Some of. the best matches tn the west used to be gulled off at Hudson. It didn't take a batting punch to put the Red Sox at the top. even though thejj did have the powerful Tris Speaker. Pitchers, fine fielding and fast thinking gave them their edge. They've still got most of it. A crack In the fielding is the most noticeable part of their fissure which is scarcely noticeable as such. Ask Yourself How Serve Your Country? You Can Of What a

ONE FAVORITES WIN IN FIRST DAY'S RACES AT KALAMAZOO. MICH., Aug. 1. The four-day Grand Circuit meeting opened at Recreation Park yesterday with a program of three races. In which two favorites made good and one rank outsider came home In front. The feature raoe was the $2,000 stake for 2:05 pacers, won by the Cox horse The Savoy. The New England horse was an even-'.-noney favorite against the field and had no trouble in winning after Adivo Guy had made the pace in the first heat and Peter Look in the second. The last half of the final mile was paced in 69 seconds. HAMILTON'S GOSSIPy STUFF ABOUT SPORTS . BTS.C. HAMU.T02ST. (United Fimi Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, July 31. The punch may yet come back to boxing In the Far West. Gregory Mitchell, formerly' Sunny Jim Coffroth's right-hand man in staging some of California's biggest bouts, is making noises like a promoter, and is said to have leased the bull-ring at,1 Tia Juana, Mexico, for bouts. Mitchell, according to reports, wants to give the public 20-round bouts w4th a decision tacked onto every one of them. No promises, he declares, have been made to boxers, but he expects to start out modestly in September. In connection with the idea of Gregory Mitchell, it might be mentioned that the promoters who cut the throat of their golden New York goose probably will witness, as the result of their avarice, a revival of "the good old times' in the west. Several western centers may legally stage bouts, with decisions. Removing the no-decision feature from boxing probably would be equivalent to boosting it immensely. The old Western league, one of the oldest minor circuits. Is wavering. The Sr.. Joseph club has been transferred to Hutchinson, and a general makeover may become necessary. Miller Huggins, tiny leader of the Cardinals, has it all doped out for a close finish in the National league despite the steamroller tactics of the Giants. Huggins believes the Reds' spurt has only started, and that his own club will have considerable to say before it is all over. Hugo Bezdek is not expected to retain

DOLI MARSA NS-MAGEE

MAY REVIVE OL

BV H. C. HAMILTON' (United Prens Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK. July 30. It may be that the deal which sent Lee Magee to the St. Louis Browns and brought Armando Marsans from the Browns to the Yankees will be the saving of two fine ball players. When Magee was a member of the Cardinals he was conceded to be one of the finest ball players in the game. Likewise when Marsans was a member cf the Cincinnati Reds Si was acknowledged to be one of the real whizzes among outfielders. Then both players took a leap to the Federal league, where Magee immediately began to hit and field like a fiend at the same time being hooked to a Job as manager of the Brooklyn club. It was said for Magee that he was the only real rival Ty Cobb had. and the leadership of the Pirates through next year, according to reports. Barney Dreyfuss is believed to have his eye on a major leaguer to succeed the former college man. Larry Doyle has been prominently mentioned, and so has Tom Needham, former Cub catcher. Kilduff Shows He's Real Major Leaguer By H. C. HAMILTON" (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Aug. 1. Pete Kilduff has proved his class. Out of the Western league to the big show for the first time in his career the little fellow has understudied Charley Herzog until ha has gained a reputation that some day will carry him into position as a regular. Pete did his first work as a regular for the Giants when Herzog tried to kick a piece of chewing gum for a goal and landed on the crown of his back in a Philadelphia railway station. He was out for several days. Kilduff went in, fielded and hit at high speed and immediately became a popular Giant. Recently the Herzog back again developed a kink and Kilduff went back with such gusto and success that he's more solid than ever. Understudying Charley Herzog with any degree of success Is quite a little task, but Kil duff has done it Two heavy hitting baseball clubs are acquiring the blinks. Any fan can remember when the Phillies were feared for their heavy clubs, and the same fan will tell you it hasn't been many moons since the Dodgers wielded terrible maces. Today Cravath, Whltted and Luuerus make up the feared trio in Philadelphia, and even they are earning disdain. Casey Stengel and Zack Wheat are the feared ones in Brooklyn. and they've both been under .300 this year. Jake Daubert has dropped. George Cutshaw is losing his punch, and so is Chief Meyers. Hi Myers and Jimmy Johnston are youths. has

Bdo TRADE when the Federal league went on the rocks New York rejoiced that he was to become a member of the Yankees. His failure there now Is history. Marsans' record reads something the same, although he found it impossible to hit Federal league pitching with any success. His sojourn in the American league has been Just as much of a famous flivver as Magee's engagement wjth the Yanks. Often it happens that a change of clubs makes a ball player all over again. It has happened many times that men refused by one club have blossomed into regular beings when hitched to another. The cases of Dick Rudolph. Milton Stock and many others make plenty of evidence to back up this assertion. It will be tragical, if Magee fails to come back, for he has all the motions of a sp'endldball player. SHAMROCKS DEFEAT FEDERAL A. C. (By A FAX.) The Hammond Shamrocks scored another victory Sunday when they defeated the Federal A. C. at Reid-Mur-dock park by a score of 13-10. M.
