Davis Is handspring.

We are just beginning TO realize That
the foundation stone which is keeping
the team up is Davis. Year after year,
in adversely and success, Davis Is the
handspring of the team.
It is Davis who aided Mack in tutor
ing the young players into stars, and
who is keeping them on their toes all
through the game. He is TO the team
on the field what Mack is to them
on the bench. Mack on the bench can
not get into the play as it comes up.
In Davis he has man who carries
out Mack ideas on the field. Mack on
the bench and Davis on the field form
the combination that mas pF the
Athletics where they are today
1t is the keen eye Of Davis who is
watching the opposing forces through
their purpose. His hair-trigger brain
is equal to any emergency and situa-
ton.
It's his counsel at first base that
breaks up many batting rallies OF the
opponents He is constantly laying traps
and snares for rivals. and when the play
is accomplished, it is regarded by the
spectators as luck or good fortune when
it is the brainwork of Mack's lieutenant.
1t must not be inferred that Davis is
the typical schooled ancient. who is III
the game for his brains alone and is
carried along by the others. He is no
scientific sharp and mechanical shirk.
From playing ability alone Davis is Il
star.
There is only player who exccls
him in fielding. Hal Chase is the great
est fielding first baseman of the age.
Davis is the equal of Chance and the

superior of all others. When his batting
ability and generalship are added to his
mechanical ability. ii is easy to see that
he is the king of them all.
For years he has been one Of the most
dangerous hitters in the American
League. He is naturally a long distance
hitter. but adds to this a thorough
knowledge of scientific batting. He is one
of the best hit-and-run batsmen in the
country and is walloper who is hard to
DIav for

HARRY DAVIS IS
ATHLETICS STANDBY
MaCk's First Baseman Is One
of the Best Players and Field
Generals in the Leagues.

PHILADELPHIA, June 4.-There is
just one individual of Mack persuasion,
not even excepting the Incompatible
Eddie Collins. which the team cannot
spare without irreparable loss.
That man is Harry Davis. Mack S
captain who today is the best all
around first baseman in the fast set.
Hal Chase of New York is spryer and
younger in years than Davis, but for
actual good 10 a team Davis IS the
king of all fast basesmiths in the big
show.
The oldest man on the team, Davis
is today one of it's leading pacemakers
in batting and run getting, while In
addition he is the whip of the club.
Davis worth TO the Athletics can
not be found in the batting and field
ing statistics, issued each year by
President Johnson. His value does not
end in driving brother Mackman
home with base hit, although he per-
forms this Office as much as anybody
else at Shibe Park.
A Mackman is not without honor
save at Shibe Park is truism. but
be it to the credit of the Philadelphia
fans that are learning to appreciate
the Waite OF the first baseman more
each season. Davis has been here so
long that we expect him to do wonder
ful things as a matter of course, and
not to fully measure just what he Is

Hard to Pick Winner.

Having this line on the respective fight
ing tactics of johnson and Jeffries. there
fore. ring experts are busy trying to fig
ure out how the big battle al Emeryv1lle
will be waged 1t is generally conceded
in the first place that the scrap will not
be short and decisive. for Johnson will
plan to prolong it as far as he can with
the idea of firing Jeffries out. Unless
Jeffries revolutioniZes his general style
he will not adopt rushing tactlcs, Tor
he is too big and heavy on his feet to
hope to land effective blows While under
Roadway.
In a fair, square stand-up scrap. with
the men exchanging blow for blow, pro
vided such tactics prevail in the early
rounds. it is thought that Johnson would
be outslugged and could not Withstand
the onslaught. But adopting crafty ring
science. always keeping In mind that the
ring is twenty-four feet square and that
the fight can last forty-five rounds. If
necessary, it is predicted that Johnson
will be a hard man to corner and beat
down unless he loses his head and JEFF
fries shows unexpected form and i'm
provement. Sitting it down. therefore,
ring experts say the result of the fight
will depend largely on the physical con-
dition of the men. Courage will also cut
an important figure Jeffries at his best
always had the heart of a lion and the
tenacity of q bulldog, together with the
strength of bear.
Johnson. on the other hand, has been
frequently accused of possessing yell
low streak. probably because he is a
negro. but as far as he has gone 1t will
be admitted that he has never displayed
this undesirable quality. If he finds that
Jeffres is himself. however, Johnson s
heart may flutter and under such cir
cun1stances he will quickly discover that
he has no business in the ring with the
Los Angeles man.
These deductions are discussed wher-
ever men take interest in pugilism, and
because of the uncertainty as to the
result of the big fight there is unbridled
interest manifested all the world.
Will it be Jefries or Johnson? The ques-
ton is asked i'll America. Canada, Eng
land. France. Ireland. Scotland. South
Africa, Australia, the Philippines and
elsewhere. The answer will be forthcom-
ing not sooner than the afternoon of
July t. when 4o.G0o men will see the bat
tie decided on California soil.

upon that hand to put in a finishing

and he knows that he can punch harder
with that hand than with the other. john
son is net q SWiuger. He believes that
swings waste ones energy and are too
apparent to a Sharp-eyed antagonist. He
rarely goes after the body. for he figures
that an attack in this direction requires
too much time to bring about sudden

Those who have made a study of John
