sooner than intended. A few weeks after Zbysco left these shores Gotch came out from his retirement" and wrestled a few unknowns.
 Upon his return to America recently ZbysCo scoffed at Gotch's retirement. MT Gotch may be sincere in his in tention to quit the mat" said Zbysco, but I think everybody will agree with me that he will change his mind. He is great wrestler-one of the best I've ever known"
 Zbysco is fully convinced that Gotch only announced his retirement to avoid being compelled to meet him. T am the only logical rival to Gotch," said the Pole, and it would be real sports manlike if he would defer his intention of quitting until we engaged in a championship struggle"
 A small fortune awaits Gotch if he accepts the challenge of his rival. The

Jimmy Craig, his younger brother, is I the best football player Hurry Up" Yost has had at Michigan since Willie Heston had to graduate.
 If 1t wasn't for Jimmie Craig it is doubtful if Yost would know he had a football team last year. The fleet half back has been Michigan's only hero.
 And absorb the fact that Jimmy Craig is as game as any terrier ever tossed into a pit His has been the only job outside of Captain Thompson's that was cinched. Every other posi- tion was filled by one or two other men since the season opened. But not Craig's. His place was vacant for week at a time, while he was recover ing from injuries, only to yawn for him when the day of the game ar rived.
 Jimmy literally climbed off crutches to enter the big games-those with Pennsylvania and Cornell. But once on the field. despite his crippled condi- ton. he wrote his name alongside that of Ralph, among Michigan's foremost athletes.
 Those who know Coach Yost know he does not often praise his players. He
 
 seldom speaks of his warriors virtues. All the greater honor to Craig, then, in Yosts words of commendation: ''Is Jimmy Craig game? You'll have l 10 invent a new word more emphatic than that when you describe him" is | the way YOst refers to his pet player. l When one member of a family fol- 1 lows another who has brought fame to l his school his task is cut out for him. l Great must he be to win prizes be- l cause of the handicap. So when Jim | mic Craig sought honors upon the | Michigan gridiron he had to overcome the feeling that Ralph was in a class 1 by himself But he did it.
 From the day he first pulled on a | cleated shoe Jimmie Craig has been a | football sensation. Next fall Michigan | will be weakened by graduation, but | Yost believes that with Craig left he 1 can build a team around the latter.
 The Craigs come by their athletic talent naturally, for Craig pere was ar athlete and was trained by the great coach, Mike Murphy when both were associated with the Detroit Athletic l club.

Salt Lake City airdrome has offered a purse of $30,O0O for the contest. A moving picture concern stands ready to pay $15,00O for the privilege of re- producing the match on screens. Zbys- co is willing to allow Gotch to do all the diCtating as to the conditions of the match. If the champion prefers he can take $25,000 win, lose or draw or he can wrestle on the basis of 75 per cent to the winner and 25 per cent to the loser. 'I will agree to any condi- tions he desires, as long as l get the match" says Zbysco.
 Zbysco is now on an extended tour across the continent. If Gotch accepts his challenge Zbysco will cancel all engagements and start training for the big match. On the other hand, if Gotch refuses to re-enter the game Zbysco will claim the title and meet all corners for purses or side bets.

LEFT LAB HAS NOT THE VALUE
 OF RIGHT CROSS,

THOSE who are tampering with the
 Marquis of Queensberry rules, which are and always have been too indefinite, argue that a left tab should not have the same value in scoring points of a fight as an accurately de- livered right or uppercut. A jab is the easiest of all blows to deliver, and the boxer using it takes less chance of re- ceiving a counter than when using any other form of attack
 Another thing that is often overlook ed is boxers skill in defensive opera tions. For instance, to duck hard swing is not only clever maneuver, but takes much of the strength from the one who missed. The public gives a man no credit for this.

PREDICTING a pennapt for any team
 is rather a hazardous undertaking. Strength alone guarantees nothing. So many things can happen to throw team out of a race, that even though it looks to have a Cinch when the season opens it may soon find itself so far back in the mire that there is not a chance for it to recover lost ground. The Athletics last spring looked to have a walkover, yet finished third Mack's team if anything looked strong CT when the season opened than it did the fall before, when it cleaned up the Giants in the worlds series, but it really never got to going properly and was beaten for the flag long before the season was over. Something went wrong with the champion team,
Arizona republican., 1913-01-20

though on paper it looked to be by far the best team, and undoubtedly was.
 Boston owed its success last season not only to the fact that the Red Sox played consistently good ball from start to finish, but also because the team did not have a mishap in the ranks which amounted to anything. To have lost the services of Wood, Speaker or even Gardner in midseasOn for a week or ten days would undoubt edly have played havoc. But it was their luck to go through from start to finish without an upset, and the result was the pennant
 On the other hand it does not re- quire a great stretch of the imagination to figure out that if the Washington team had been as lucky they might
Arizona republican., 1913-01-20

X T the recent league meeting in New
 York John J. McGraw got started on the subject of base running. "A man that Is continually losing the de- cision by half a step" he said, will never win a close game for you. AS far as results are concerned the ball might just as well beat him to first by thirty feet as by three. Real speed on a team consists of just that extra half step"
 It is probable that other managers realize this fact as well as McGraw It seems strange, therefore, that spring training does not include expert coaching in the art of sprinting. There are very few ball players who in the hands of Mike Murphy could not learn to run much faster than they do. Very few of the men have any idea of the scientific principles of sprinting.
 Any one who has watched ball play CTS closely and noticed their manner of running and the length of their stride will realize that they do not run with the same power and efficiency as the trained short distance men. In the first place many of them, while they move their feet and legs fast, take a short stride and run with an up and down motion. They also waste time by throwing the foot far out behind them Then, too. many of them turn their toes out.
 Any trainer will tell you that a man is capable of taking only a limited number of strides in a specified time. The object is, therefore, to carry him over every inch of ground possible at each stride and to do it with the least waste effort Bernie Wefers is said to have taken a nine foot stride. Many ball players with limbs just as long do not stride over five feet. It seems req sonable to suppose that really good

 Until Welsh defeated Wells, .Ketchel was referred to as the only champion who ever "came back"
 When Eugene Corri waved his gloved hand toward Welsh as an indication that Freddie had won over Matt Wells he brought to a temporary close at least one of the longest sieges of i'll luck that ever followed a boxer.

have finished at the top. To begin with, it was a bad break not to have had Gandil at the outset and then just when the team seemed in a position to jump into the lead Walter Johnson took sick and did not pitch for three weeks.
 If Wood had encountered sich a mis- hap Boston would not have been there. Moeller too, was out of the game sev- eral times, his shoulder being dislo- cated when he was doing his best work. Such things are apt to happen to any team, and when they do it is going to make a big difference in it's standing.

 CElVE SETBACK

THE fighters ego sent pugilistic dope
 flying recently. Wolgast, who has always fancied himself the only fighter in the world, went down before Willie Ritchie. Joe Mandot, his head swollen after victories over Rivers and Vol gast, went back to the coast and got a whipping from Rivers.
 Before this last fight it was Rivers who was stuck on himself. Mandot had everything to gain and was care full of his training and living. Rivers had just given Wolgast a battle that excited the whole country. The praise he received turned his brain He went into the ring out of condition, and MandOt trimmed him

WELSH A REAL "COMEBACK''

FREDDIE WELSH is the second
 come back" champion in the his tory of the boxing game.
 The critics used to say that it couldn't be done. but Stanley Ketchel was the lad who changed all this.
 At the very height of his career as the worlds middleweight champion Ketchel. through Carelessness as much as anything else, lost his title to Billy Papke at Vernon on Sept. :. 1908.
 In less than three months ketchel got Billy Paphe back in the ring and

hospital with an attack of appendicitis.
 Willie Ritchie was substituted against Welsh. Freddie gave away six pounds in weight and decisively beat Ritchie, but received little credit and less money for this performance.
 Before he could get going he suf- fered an injury to his neck and was sent to a Chicago sanitarium for a long rest.
 With his win over Wells and the sub sequent regaining of the British title it would seem that at last the little chap had shaken of the "glooms,''

fish lightweight championship to this same Wells on the night of Feb. 27 1911.
 Without his title Freddie did not find much enthusiasm displayed by the American promoters when he returned to this side of the Atlantic. He whip ped both Pal Moore and Matty Bald win, but added little to his bank roll with these victories.
 Finally the Pontypridd boy was matched with Wolgast for a champion ship fight, but was robbed of this op- portunity when Wolgast went to the

ZBYSCO, the European wrestling ~ champion, is once more with us. He came here from his native land, Poland with the expressed intention of coaxing Frank Gotch, the worlds champion, into another match for the title.
 Zbysco chased Gotch all over the country last year in an endeavor to
