other fellow. But enough! It wasn't
a real Jeffries at all who fought I'M

just about the same kind of Jeffries
who fought Johnson at Reno-only
not so bad. perhaps.

The way George Rodel is being
boosted 1t looks as if he is being
primed for a real good licking. Every
body who is anybody is quoted as
saying that Rodel has more than an
even chance against Gunboat Smith.
Such boosting. in view of the records
and the class, of the men, seems to be
entirely out of order. On anything,
even on their last fight, in which
Rodel, after being knocked down
steen times, finished strong and per-
haps earned a draw, Smith should be
a pronounced choice. And he is with
the "wisenheimers," who allow the
gullible public to be sucked in by
the alluring press agent yarns and at
the last moment come along and grab
off what little betting there is in
sight. Smith should win the bout
with Rodel tomorrow night at the
Garden. How soon is hard to tell, but
maybe very soon.

With a man on third and batter
up, one of the players, coaching on
the third base line, suddenly runs
toward home in an endeavor to draw
throw from the pitcher. Is this
act on the coacher's part a trans
gression of the rules, and if so, what
is the penalty covering same?
S. H. J.
Rule Sc, section Is, reads: IF, while
third base is occupied, the coacher
stationed near that base shall run
in the direction of home base or near
the base line while a fielder is maxi
ing or trying to make a play on a
batted ball not caught on the fly, or on
thrown ball, and thereby draws a
throw to the home base, the base
runner entitled to third base shall
be declared out by the umpire for the
coacher's interference with and pre-
vention of the legitimate play
