CANS FINDS HEAVYWEIGHT

Make Best of Them Go
Some.

Chicago, March 2.-"Dr. John Krone.

weight champion. Cans made this state

the African made it in positive fash

'aTacks" Parrott is credited with
having made one of the funniest
home runs on record at Atlanta, Ga

He paused there long enough to see

TITS this change Of pace that makes

FEEDERS NOT PITCHERS HURT BATTING SAYS Willy CLARK GRIFFITH
Leader of the Yankees Says as Rules
Committeeman Therell
Be No Changes.

I'VE want more hitting has been
the cry of baseball experts from all
sections of the country But there will
be no changes in the rules which might
Increase batting. and this comes from
Clark Griffith.
The manager Of the Yanks is about
the best expert on anything pertaining
to the national game that can be found
on the baseball map. Here is man
who has the game studied down to
pin point. so to speak. In his heyday
he was among the leading batters of
the country, and when he used to take
his regular turn on the firing line there
was not batter who did not find his
pitching troublesome
''The people who are making such
loud holler about the dearth of base
hits these days don't know the game"
SAYS Grif why. ! will make the
declara ton now. and you can't bring
me a baseball man VINO can give me an
argument against my declaration.
when I say the men in the big leagues
are hitting the ball harder now than
at any time since baseball became a
profession
What have l got to back up this
declaration?
.'SimpIy that the game has become
something of a science. The fielding
is sharper and faster. and il takes an
exceptionally fast man who can make
a hit when the pitcher is able to put
the ball where he wants to.
sThe fielders have got the game
down to such a fine point that when
the signal is flashed from the catcher
for an incurve or an outshoot. or any
other kind OF a shoot, the fielders get
into position for the play. Indeed,
they know about where the ball is go
ing to be hit.
Take a pitcher who can deliver the
goods. If the man at the bat is q
rfght-hander, he gives the signal for
an incurve. This Is flashed to the
feeders and every one moves over to-
ward the left fielder. The pitcher then
feeds the batter an fncurve- To hit
the ball he has TO hook his bat and

WHY NIKE RILEY FAILED
Inside History Explaining Tonopah's
Failure to Pull Off Cans
Britt Affair,

The downfall of Mike Riley of Tonopah
as fight promoter is told by a gentle
man recently from the Nevada mining
camp. II Riley had made a clean breast
Of the affair at the time matters might
have been fixed up. but Riley tried 20
carry the bluff through that he had
plenty Of money to go ahead. The To-
ncpah man says:
AS we understand ii up there, the
money furnished for the last fight was
controlled by Tonopah business man
named Marks This Marks had refused
TO put up any further money. and has
dema nded 10 per cent of the gross re-
ceipts OF whatever fights Riley pulls off
for the use OF the new arena Riley has
refused 10 become a party to any ar
rsnEeu1ent Of this kind and there is a
wransle between Marks and Riley. But
even II Marks was to let Riley have the
arena rent free doubt II Riley could go
ahead with the Britt-Gans contest.
1T Is a different proposition. you
know. when you are required to put up
your own money. You probably will find
that Britt and Cans have been ditched
completely and that less costly pair Of
fighters VIII form the principal attraction
of Rfiey's April show, II he has one: The
whole thing may swing around again. Of
course, II Riley can 9et some one to help

BY owning and operating it's coal and

All this care in the selection of materials-a

mean and bring about goes into your machine.
Isn't it worth while to consider who gets the
benefit in the end-what this concentrated effort
on your machine would mean to you in the critical

Isn't it worth your while to consider whether
you will not be the gamer in large degree by

Harvest time is not the time to try something
you are not sure of. You want all the guarantee

Manufacturers can afford to experiment, but

And if repairs ever have to be made you want to
