Mona started all the hurrah by CIV
ing Cyclone Johnny Thompson a de-
feat at 175 pounds, but it developed
afterwards that Bob only weighed 1875
pounds and he announced that he
could easily make $50, and if neces-
sary, the middle weight of 158 pounds.
This has resulted in the matching of
Bob with both McGoorty and Jack
Dillon, the two contests to be decided
in the near future. If Mona makes
the weight easily and his hands hold
good he will make all the niddles

HIGGINS THINKS
CHASE WON'T Do
ST. LOUIS MANAGER CLAIMS LEFT
HAND SECOND sACKER is
HANDICAPPED.

Miller Higgins, manager of the st.
Louis Cardina1s-who has played sec
ond base, and played it well, for sew
eral years-does not believe that Hal
Chase, a left-hander, can make a sue
cess at the midway station He is
quoted as saying:
"a left handed second 'baseman cam
not act as the midd1eman in double
plays and attain the same results as
a Highlander, no matter how fast
he may be. On the force play at sec
ond, when the ball is Ae1ded by the
shortstop, the 1eft-handed second
baseman must turn around completely
to make the throw to first. With a
fast man going to first much depends
on the middIeman in the double kill
ing.
cit will also be hard for a 1eft-hand-
ed second baseman to field slow hit
grounders just past the pitcher. A
Highlander can snap up the ball on
the run and. by a quick underhand
throw, get it to first without setting
himself. A 1eft-hander will either have
to set himself or turn completely
around. I do not believe that Chase
will make good at second"
Higgins winds up by saying that
Chase can make good in the outfield,
should Chance decide to play first
himself.

honors over Johnny Mario of the west

Jimmy Murray of New York at the
Forty-fourth Street Spring Club, New
York, last night. All three bouts went
the scheduled ten rounds, and furnish
ed plenty of action all the way.
Rogers was substituted for Joe
Thomas, the California midd1eweight,
who was scheduled to attempt to come
back After entering the ring there
was a long dispute, Rogers holding out
for rounds of two and one-half min
utes each. The matter was finally put
up to Boxing Commissioner Frank S.
OsNeiI, who ruled that the regulation
calling for three-minute rounds could
not be changed.

ton was at an end
Wells also asserted he wouldn't
weigh a pound more when he got in
+, to the ring and that he expected to
win decisively. Wells never has seen
Smith put up his hands and has linn
tied IDEAS as to Smiths style of box
ing. Wells said that it would not
take more than a minute of the first
round to find out what sort of fighter
the husky Californian really is.
Smith hustled through the roadways
in Central Park to the reservoir, which
he circIed at a Gteady clip. He hop
ped ON the scales and tipped the beam
at 179 1-2 pounds, stripped. He rest

that he might weigh a trif1le more
than $50 when the bout begins.
SMITH Is CONFIDENT

lily as Palzer did. Wells punches and

CORBETT HANDS
ROAST TO MAROUARD
Former Champion Says Rube is Un-
grateful to McGraw Who Be-
friended Him.

Here's the words Of James ]. Ger
bett, former prize fighter, concerning
Rube MarQuard:
ct think someone ought to call this
fellow Vanguard. never saw a more
aggravated instance of biting the hand
that feeds one. Marquard is telling,
jealous of him, when, as matter or
fact, Vanguard would be playing on a
sand lot still if McGraw had not made
him.
''Marquard has everything but
nerve. He is a gutter. I am an ar
dent fan. Time and again have seen
him go into the box, lost his nerve at
a critical point and be taken out. Nc
Graw had paid 81, 1000 for him to In
dianapolis and nursed him along in
the face of ridicule by the fans, hop
ing Marquard would vindicate him
self.
Last season AEcGraw by clever gem
eralehip made record Of 10 victories
putting the Rube in to finish games
already on ice, practically and pulling
him out when he wasn't going right,
so that Marquard didn't get blamed
for the defeat. Had it not been for
such assistance he would have lost at
least II of the last Ia games he pitch
ed Mathewson is a better twirler
than Vanguard ever dreamed of be-
ing, and yet Matty lost every game

OTIS CLYMER HAS
HOPE OF YOUNGSTER
At ;S3 VIII Try For Place in Cubs
Outfleld.

If Dave A1tizer hadn't shown Otis
CIymer a little trick in the wrapping
of a bandage the latter would now be
pursping the simple life, unknown to
fame, instead of seeking a steady job
with major league ball club. It so
happens that A1tizer took Clymer in
hand several years ago when the hard
hitting outfielder was thinking ser1-
ously Of saying goodbye to the game
because of the weakness in an ankle
that had been broken in a previous
struggle for a berth in the big show.
The veteran, whom the Chicago Cubs
landed In the draft net last fall, has
an interesting tale to tell of his activ-
ball. He has encountered more than
pluck never gave out, and now at the
age Of 80 years he is confident that
he can annex a major league job on
his ability alone, and, moreover, he
firmly believes that he is better than
ever. This kind of talk sounds like
the old wall of the fighter, but with
CIymer it is the real stuff.
It was in the season of 1906 that he
was receiving his first trial, and in
game against ST. Louis he slid into
second, breaking his ankle CIymer
never put in a Pirate uniform after
that day For the remainder OF the
season he was out of baseball. In the
spring of 1907 Joe CantiIIon, then man
ager of the Washington club, figured
that CIymer might recover from the
accident and be as good as ever be
fore. Barney Dreyfuss thought diff
ferent; so after the necessary moves
CIxmer was turned over to the Sena-

Of wet grounds. 1t is not often that
1t is necessary to call off a game here
Dn that account. Usually after an

Hal Chase's injured ankle is getting
stronger every day, and Hal says he is
PERTAIN he will be able to get back to
work by next Monday. Chase's mis-
hap shows there is one phase of sec
ond-base play which he must study
and master before he can become a
star at the position. He must get the
knack of touching the runner on a
steal and step back so as to avoid in
5ury.
In the play in which Chase was
hurt he ran in front of HARRISON to
take the ball and the mix-up neces-
BartIy followed. 1t is true HARRISON
went into second base as if the World S
Championship depended on his max
ing the bag. But the play showed
that Chase must get the knack of
touching a runner without blocking
the base lines before he can hope to
be q success.
George Davis, the young Williams
CoIleea pitcher, will sign with a new
manaser on March %. The new man
ager is Miss Georgiana Jones of Buff
6aIo, and the pitching recruit will sign
for life. He has received permission
from Manager Chance to leave Ber-
muda on March "a, and will join the
team at the game with the Brooklyn
Superbas on Ebbets Field on April 8.
Frank Chance has demonstrated
that he is still the same able manager
he was when he led the Cubs to four
National League championships and
two worlds pennants in seven years.
All the Improvement in the Highland
srs cannot be attributed to the sun
kissed skies and vernal zephyrs of the
coral isles. The hand of Chance is in
evidence in every move of his athletes

DEMAREE DOES WELL
in BOX FOR GIANTS
Thorpe Makes Daily Home Run in
Marlin Practice Game.

Marlin, Texas, March 14.-Some-
thing remotely resembling a BAN game
took place at Emerson Park yester-
day Afternoon, when the regular
Giants lost a decision to the Colts by
the unwieldy score of 19 to IA.
Thorpe, Cooper and Stok made four
ply wallops.- The championship line
up included Burns and Shafer again
and the new batting order will be
tried out in the next exhibition game.
Demaree and Goulait, two of the
young pitchers who have earned a
trial when the regular season opens,
pitched the first three innings. De-
maree operated for the regulars and
when he and Gou1ait quit the score
was to in the regular teams favor.
Smith and Schupp were the next
two. Schupp d,d not allow the regu-
Jars to score in two innings.
There is no longer any doubt that
the recently welded RUDE Vanguard
will rejoin the Giants. Marquard
wired that he would report in Hous-
ton on March %, which is the day
after the Giants break camp here.
