Downs Tries as
First Baseman

When the Washington club failed
to secure Jerry Downs from Columbus
last fall no one felt that anything
worth while had been overlooked, for
the local patrons Of the game can re-
member Downs only as a mediocre in
fielder, a poor outfielder and fair
hitter. But perhaps 1t would have
been a ten-strike for McAleer had he
secured the authenticated youth. for
who knows that he would not have
filed that hole at first base. At any
rate Downs is to be played at first
by Columbus next season. He should
make good there. He Is just good
enough a fielder to fill that position,
and in that company he is an Al hit
ter.
So, after trying to make himself a
big Lacquer In other positions In which
he failed, Downs may come back one
of these days as a high-class first
baseman. 1t only goes to show that at
times 1t takes years to find the proper
position for a player, and first seems
to be made to order for Downs

THE TINES SPORT PAGE
Some Baseball Talk
That's Full Of Sens,

Here's a little baseball comment
written by Charles A. Ismar OF the
Atlanta oJurnal. II contains lot OF
wisdom--read II:
Mr.. Falkenberg, the taciturn and
elongated bean pole who is some pitch
er all right. in discussing the art Of
pitching to the great hitters, cuts In
with some real horse sense without
boosting himself 10 the skies, which
Is quite refreshing all around.
In discussing the alleged inability
OF Cobb to hit a low in-curve on the
nose he says that Cobb can hit that
sort OF pitching, but not SO effectively
as theb rand that suits him best,
which Is true OF all the other great
hitters, and so 1t goes.
In the first worlds series between
the Cubs and the Tigers Mordecai
Brown, by reason of his marvellous
control. got Cobb's angora with an in
curve to the knee. But Cobb, when
he realized that there was nothing
doing in the hitting business, wheel
ed and hunted and got away with IL
at that. But after getting on, the
great throwing OF King sewed him
In a Sheet but he got the hits and
there you are. Cobb Is. in every way,
a great and slashing hitter, but the
fact remains that his lightning-like
speed is tremendous asset.
In my judgment Lajoie is the great
est straightaway hitter ever developed
In baseball. He is slower on his feet

Mcintosh Makes
Hit In London

: Hugh Mcintosh, the fearless inter
national fight promoter. has been the
means Of stirring up interest in box
ing, no matter what part of the globe
he happens to be.
Mcintosh, who Is a short, thickset
man with an indomitable spirit and
an unrelenting jaw, first came into
prominence by staging the Burps'
Johnson match In Australia. He
stood to win or lose a fortune on this
bout, sending thousands of dollars Ia
the principals for expense money To
make the long trip to the antipodes.
At the last minute the fight was al
most called off. for Burns and John
son couldn't agree on a referee. While
they were quarreling, Mcintosh said :
I'll referee this bout and you men
will get what is coming to you and
nothing more"
The nerve of the promoter took the
combatants by surprise and they were
meek afterward. This fight more
than any other paved the way for
Johnson's greatest honors. His vic.
tory drew Jeffries out of retirement
and his impressive conquest on July
forever cleared the doubt in the
heavyweight situation.
Now Mcintosh Is successfully oper-
ating a club in London and has made
such hit with the people there that
the staid old National Sporting club
has decided to increase the size OF its
club in order to retain It's prestige
