SPORTOGRAPHY BY GRAVY ARTHUR FLETCHER, 28 TODAY, A NATIVE OF "SUCKER STATE Arthur Fletcher, who has been shortstopping for the well known New fork Giants for a number of years, will be 28 years old today. Art is a chronic "Sucker" when oft duty, and he not only admits it, but Is proud of-it In other words, he was born in Illinois, upon which Missourians, with that brotherly love which usual' marks the relations of neighbors, havo wished the name of "the Sucker State." Some of the dope books give the' credit of being Arthur's birthplace to Edwardsville, and somo to Collinsville, but in any event it was in some burg named after Mr. Edward Collins, the eminent 2b. ar-.

tist Unlike Mr. Collins, however, who is a college graduate, Mr. Fletcher is a graduate of the back lots. It was in 1907 that Arthur was yanked from the obscurity of the sand lots, the credit for said yanking belonging to Joseph Gardner, president of the Dallas club of the Texas Mr. Gardner's hunch as to Fletcher's baseballi8tlc ability was all to the good, and Arthur soon-became a star and a favorite in the North Texas metropolis.

In 1008 ho was sold to the Giants, who used him first as utility inflelder. When Arthur Devlin slipped back Fletcher was placed at third base, and when the Giant3 secured Herzog for that position Fletcher waB shifted to shortstop. In that position the tall and rangy "Sucker" has made a great reputation for himself, which will last as long as he is able to play at topnotch. FRANK SLAVIN'S BIRTHDAY. A This is the fifty-third anniversary of old Frank Slavin, one of the many great pugilists turned out by Australia a quarter of a century ago.

Slavin, popularly called "Paddy" was I born Jan. 5, 1862, and his real name was said to have been Sydney Cornstalk. He stood over six feef in height, and was every inch of him an athlete. Slavin started his fighting career by engaging in impromptu bouts in the Sydney bar rooms, and in one of these affairs he was bested by the great Peter Jackson. It was Just 30 years ago that Slavin took to the Ting, and in all of his Australian bat- ties of that period be never got worse than a draw.

He knocked out Tomj Burke, the champion of Queensland, Jack Burke, Mick Dooley, and other good men, and fought two draws with "Buffalo" Costello, a famous who died not long ago. One of these affairs with Costello, under London prize ring rules, lasted two hours and a half. In 1889 Slavin sailed away for England, where he was matched to fight Jem Smith, the English title holder. The bare-knuckle game had been outlowed In England, so the gladiators had to go to Belgium to settle their differences. The fight wasipulled oft in Bruges, and was for the championship of the empireand $2,600 a London prize ring rules.

At the end ot a month the remittances from headquarters had suddenly and effectually ceased, and the hungry' army found themselves stranded. Theso two had unexpectedly met, and under peculiar conditions. Tom regarded his companion with a quizzical smile as he made a show of rummaging pockets. Tom managed to produce a broken oigar, which he proceeded to enjoy with difficulty. "Well," he said, "I suppoeo the natural thing to do is to get back to the city and begin all over agatn.
