General Sporting Notes On Boston Boxing And Baseball
Joe Walcott says he did not meet any colored boxer Monday night. Sam Francis was to spar at the B A A but would not face a 119 pounder. Moffatt tried the jump path on Irvington Oval and rated it superb. He may compete for the Milton cup. South Boston shortstop may manage the Washingtons. The Boston Brotherhood had one weak spot at shortstop yet Irwin is praised as a good player. Critics fault Irwin for Reds success and accuse him of poor coaching and arousing opposition. Irwin’s prior Reds management and ground roles are recalled. He may pursue similar moves with the Senators. The Wagners are expected to trouble him.
