NEW YORK, March 21.-A gray haired.
sturdy looking fellow was introduced to
the crowd at a local boxing club the
other night as 1.-The greatest lightweight
boxer ever known" Before his name
was announced veteran ring followers
recognized Albert Grif1lths, better known
az Young Critic Of Australia, who has
travelled a rocky road since his retire.
ment from the ring a dozen years ago.
Critic is taking some care OF his health
nowadays and hasn't tasted tntoxicants
for more than year. Though confined
on several occasions in asylums, he Is IN
full possession OF his faculties and readily
recalls the days when he was the reign
ing sensation In the boxing world. The
Australian has run through fortune and
is practically without funds. but In view
Of his good resolutions friends have taken
him In hand and are going to find en-
ployment for him at the local clubs In
the shape of short exhibitions with the
gloves. Critic saw Packy Mcfarland

thusiastic over the wonderful little Chi

noticed was his speedy footwork.
He was all over the ring. in and out,
and he would have puzzled any man.
am sure that Packy would have held
his own with the lightweights I used
to box. That is to say he would have
outpointed a lot Of them and would
have stalled OF the others.
IT remember Kid Lavigne when he
was champion. boxed a twenty five
round draw with him once and had no
trouble in blocking his attack. But
Lavigne wasn't as fast as Mcfarland
in getting around the ring. He rushed
all the time and tried to land a

who won the title from him, I believe
Lavigne's defeat was due to this rea-
son. Erne was q first-class boxer, but

cleverest Of the lightweights and a
great fighter, too. / remember Spike

can say that all Of them were better
men than the ones now before the
public. barring Mcfarland, of course.
At shall never forget the bout had with
Jack McAuliffe at Copey Island. He was
the lightweight champion then and re-
garded me as an easy mark. But I out

Chance Thinks
the Club Beating
Giants Will Cop

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MOBILE. Ala, March 21.-Mana.
ger Frank Chance of the champion
Chicago Cubs appears to share the
popular belief that the Giants are
going to be tough club to beat In
1911. Talking with Harry Tuthin
recently In New Orleans. the Chi
cago boss said that the club which
succeeds in beating McGraw Will
win the pennant in Lynch's show.
"McGraw will have some good
pitching this season or | miss my
guess" said Chance. "Mathewson
ought to be just as good as he ever
was for ten years longer. Ames
and Wiltse ought to do well, while
Crandall can beat the second d.
vision teams as often as they stick
him in against them.
LAS for the Cubs, I can't tell yet
what to expect. 1t looks as though
we had picked up a couple of good
youngsters and hope that we Will
be stronger than in 1910. Cfncin-
natl may make some trouble. but

real fight and figure that II we can

Idle Joss Pitching Days Are About Over ---Spos Of All Sorts
PLAYERS VALUE IS NOT
PROVED BY PRICE PAID
Advance Notices Relative to Players Who
Have Been Sold for Big Sums Seem
to Handicap Youngsters.

For the last three or four years
young players who have brought big
sums from the majors have failed
miserably to deliver the goods.
AS in every other business, b3se
ball club owners appreciate the value
of advertising. Any time fancy sum
has been sunk in some promising re-
cruit the news is always heralded
broadcast. 1t would seem from ex-
perience that such action on the part
of the club owners is a bad move.
Such announcements are always read
with interest by the fans, but invari-
ably it at once makes the enthusiasts
believe that man who could COM
mand such a price ought to set the
ICES only too well what is expected
of him, because of the tremendous
amount of advertising he has received
Because of his great anxiety to live
up to the work of the press agent
the player often fails to show his
true form. The fans who expect the
PLAYER to perform startling stunts
right off the reel are only too ready
to ridicule If in his overanxiety to
make good he falls down on a couple
OF easy chances. The very fact that
Russell Black burn. the dollhouse phe-
nom Oh the Cnlcago Wnlte SoX. mas
asked the Windy City scribes to re-
frain from calling him the ten-thou-
sand-dollar beauty. shows how it af-
fects the players.
These Players Brought Big Sums.
The Cleveland club paid So, 500 for Heine
Berger. Great things were expected OF
the husky Teuton. but he proved an
in-and-outer and never showed con-
sistent big league form.
The Boston Americans gave s. 800 and
two players valued at $1,000 to the To-
ronto club for Outtielder Jack Thoney.
He was touted as a sure-enough won
der. but the sensation Of the Eas ern
League has been of but little use to Bos-
ton.
Cincinnati paid $500 to Macon for
Rube Benton. after two other clubs had
bid better than 5000. The fact that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-03-21

Griffith has consigned Benton to minor
league club for the time being makes It
look as II Benton was placed In the lemon
class.
Chicago paid $500 to Providence for
Russell Blackburn. Competent critics
said the sensation of the Eastern League
would burn up the short fields in Big
Bans circuit. Local fans know how dis
mally Blackburn failed to hold his own
in the American League. He looked like
anything but a star, due, possibly, to
his bad getaway and loss Of confidence.
Manager Dufry has not lest faith in him,
and will give him another chance to
show.
Muggsy McGraw paid $1,000 to In
dianapolis for RUDE Marquard, but as
yet Marquard hasn't been worth II cents
to the Giants. McGraw has always in
sisted he would deliver, but it is said
Muggsy is losing faith. and has informed
Marquard unless he shows this spring it
will be back to the bushes.
What Will Russell Dop
1t will be interesting to watch the
career of Lefty Russell, the new south
paw Of the Athletics. Russell was the
main attraction in the Eastern League
last year with Baltimore. He looked so
good to Mack that, according to report,
Connie cut loose with more cash for
him than he paid for any player on the
team. All kinds of stuff has been writ
ten about Russell. Every one says he is
sure to cut a big dash in the coming A
l.. race. Even SO conservative an indi-
vidual as Connie Mack says Russell is
not an experiment. but fixture. Mr..
Russell will certainly have to step at an
awful lively clip to live up to the many
6attering notices that have been handed
him.
A perusal of the above dope makes it
appear III all the PuH about fancy
prices has a demoralizing effect on the
player. While the advertising helps the
club in way, still it is doubtful il in the
end it is a paying proposition, as it
often renders a promising youngster
practically useless. OF course it may
not affect some youngsters, and possibly
Russell is one Of them. but there is no
denying the fact that it has seriously
hampered Blackburn. Thoney, Marquard,
Berger and many others.
