WALDEMAR h. GRASSI,
WHITE MANS HOPE"
Count" Coach at Columbia,
Believes That He Has Chance
to Defeat Jack Johnson
lRy I.eased Wirol


New York, Mar Wallemar ri.
Grassi, a former Columbia track
athlete, who made name for him
self as weight thrower when in col
lege, has an idea that he wants to
fight Jack Johnson for the heavy
weight title. He said yesterday in
the boxing room at the university
that he would be willing to fight
johnson in August, after he has 1ad
six months in which to train and en-
gage in some preliminary bouis. At
present he is boxing instructor at
Columbia, having taken the place lett
vacant by Joseph Murray when lie
left Columbia to teach the fighting
game to the midshipmen at Anna
polls.
Grassi began to box when he was
in prep school, and when he entered
Columbia, in the fall OF 1907 he had
little difficulty in putting down every
body who stood up against him. With
Murray he organized the boxing tour
nament that was held at Columbia in
that year, and won the champion
ship OF the university. This appar-
entity gave him added confidence in

men who had "roughed it" in the

THEY ALL LOOK
GOOD IN SPRING
Baseball Lid Will Fly Of and
Then Youngsters Will
Try to "Show"

All baseball players are gems Of
lhe trst water in the spring, or are
the glowing accounts from training
camps the result OF the long famine
from baseball? This is the question
lans continually ask, especially wnen
some OF these highly touted phenoms
oloW up and are bundled back to the
bushes.
The fact OF the matter is that bail
players, and especially the youngster
20 look better In the spring and the
Slowing reports Of usually conserya-
i've baseball writer's are true in near
ly every instance. The Youngsters
look especially good in the training
camp, for they are out to win their
spurs and the ambition to stay in
the big circuit makes them worK
like no veteran would. They are up
on their toes and fighting the whole
time and their work in comparison
tc the regulars, who usually taxe
things easy, look even better than lt
is.
But along about the middle of
April it is usually the regular who
draws the spotlight while the poor
recruit may be fortunate enough to
be warming the bench or he is back
IN the minor leagues.
The early spring exhibition games
often make the players look as if
they We're in mid-season form and
all destined to hit around Lajoe
or Cobb clip. But the fans in their
eagerness to devour all the baseball
news they can get hold of forget that
in most cases the teams are going up
against minor league cubs which
have not been training long and
whose p tchers dish up little else but
straight balls. No wonder 800 aver
ages are common and the big league
team looks like a world beater.
The average baseball bug is
nothing else if not an optimist. He
always has visions of a pennant. no
matter # his team finished last seas
on before. That spark of hope, which
is really the life of bas ball, never
seems TO die. Once in a while one
finds a Crouch but he is the ex-
ception in baseball
iNht9 VI Icdl SOuu AdllS kHOCk
their team, but let the team make a
little squirt, and the same rknocker''
IS right down in the front row of the
bieachers yelling his life out.
Baseball is also story of shat
tered hopes, in fact, it produces
more shattered hope than penants.
But the spark Of hope seems to be
immortal, and when sprlng breezes
blow it revives himself that the team
is going to be much better this year
than last, and he may go even so Jar
as to see penants flapping and crack
ing in his rosy-hued day dreams.
It's a great game this baseball,
and day dreams of pennants never
do any harm. and it's only a few days
until they'll all be playing.
