George Green Was Genuine
and Original Young Corbett

prominent family of the California
metropolis.
He learned the fistic art under Jim
COrbett, then boxing instructor at the
Olympic Athletic club of San Fran
cisco. Jim COrbett, OF course, did not
take kindly to Georges plan of be-
coming a professional pugilist and
engaged a number of hard-hitting
boxers to meet George at the club
and discourage" him They tried
faithfully, and George was knocked
out several times a day and acquired
a beautiful black and blue color
scheme from his waist up, but he re-
fused to be discouraged
His gameness won the admiration
of the professionals, who taught him
all they knew of the game, with the
result that at IS Green won the anna
teur lightweight championship of the
Pacific coast. In his first profession
al battle he knocked out Jack Strong
in the fifth round His first big bat
tie was with Jimmy WhalOn, at Ia
coma, and Green was victor.
In 1895 he invaded the east with
Jim COrbett. and after several minor
bouts. knocked out the good Shadow
Mayber in seven rounds at Baltimore
In 1896 he defeated Danny Needham
in San Francisco. but later was de-
feated by Joe WalcOtt and Tommy
Ryan. After losing to Smith. Green
won from Dan Creedon, the great
Australian. but a little later retired
from the ring.

a play The speed of a play depends
upon the amount of time the runner
takes to get to hit the line Anything
which prevents the runner from con-
centrating his whole attention upon
this. essential is bad. The direct pass
is bad in this respect because, instead
Of removing all responsibility from
the runner by permitting the quarter
back to feed the ball to him, the run
ner must think of getting the ball be-
fore he gets to his hole and If the
direct pass is in the slightest degree
untrue. hesitation on me part of the
runner results and the speed of the
play is negatived
The only sound, sure and swift man
ner of feeding the ball to the back is
through the medium of the quarter.
More Long Gains Expected.
With the return to straight football
Will come the sustained attack. 1t IS
likely that we shall see more goal
line marches" this year. When the Of
fensive team starts on its march down
the field it will be good policy to wear
down the defence by the use of a
highly diversified attack. Speed, not
only in the execution of the plays but
in the rapidity with which the plays
follow one another will be in evidence.
The defence must not be given time
to guess the psychology of the attack
and in proportion as the distance to
the goal line diminishes speed of the
attack should increase.

years ago that Green lost the welter-

Young Corbett and Mysterious Billy

1897, on the same day the Corbett-

his principal purpose being only to
have his expenses paid to Carson in

a sad day for Green, however, as he

better ball club and that he will win
for that reason rather than because the
Giants will represent the National

ITO my mind the Giants have been
moderated. McGraw has a team which
comes through in the pinches. That
is the kind of a system which wins the

~ HE term assist in baseball
really explains itself. 1t means
exactly what it says. A fielder
gets an assist every time he helps or
assists in any way in the retirement
of batter or base runner The most
common form of assist is that which
comes when a batter hits a ground ball
TO an infielder, who throws it to first
or any other base, with the result that
a player on the opposing side is put
out. In cases Of this kind a fielder is
credited with an assist, even if the
player at the other end muffs the ball
provided the batter or base runner
would have been out if the bali had
been caught.
For instance a batter hits ground
er to the shortstop, who picks it up
clearly and makes perfect throw
to the first baseman in plenty of
time TO retire the runner but the
batter is safe.
credit for his part of the play. which
of the failure OF another fielder to
make the play properly. Therefore, the
shortstop gets an assist. though the
batter was not put out. In many cases
a fielder can get q Dutout and an
assist on the same play.
When a base runner is caught and
run down between the bases and the
ball is thrown back and forth several
times before he IS finally put out,

attention than ever will be paid to
the development of a swift attack.
Now that pushing and pulling have
been abolished it becomes increasingly
important that the backs get to the
opening before the defence has time to
size up the play.
There are many devices for speed
ing up the attack. One is the starting
signal, another NOT much practiced
is having the back field watch the
center's wrists before the ball is
put in play. It is possible by doing so
to tell by the snap of their wrists
before the ball is passed, Just when
it is coming, so that the backs can
start with the ball, and not a shade
