could not work the kinks out of his

Of delivery was too much of a pull

Before Ford adopted the spitball he
had a very fine curve. He praCticed

fore the splitter" was added 10 his

Griffith Blames Heat
For Clubs Poor Work
MANAGER of Senators Claims That
Players Are Affected by
Climatic Conditions.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July l2.-
Manager Griffith, manager Of the
local American League Club, contends
that his ball players are handicapped
bv local climatic conditions. He as
serts that the heat during the sum
mer months here is such that it takes
all the stamina out of his players,
and that this accounts for the fact
that the team always plays better
ball away from home than 1t does
here. -
He believes that the players can
not keep themselves in prime condi-
ton because they do not get the
necessary rest as d result of the heat.
Griffith has a scheme whereby ne
nroposes to secure quarters in the
outskirts Of Washington, where he
viii house his players. 1t will be
a sort of a summer hotel, far from
the city. where the club will also su-
pervise the players food.
1t is the intention to have the
plavers brought to the ball park in
time for the game and then send
them back to their quarters imme-
diateIv after the game. 1t is figured
that bv this mode of living the play
ers will get better rest and diet, ano
consequently retain their condition
through the season.

IN ETROTT, MICH, July 12.-That
IL managerial heads in the Amer
lean League will fail is not
unlikely. Rumor has fastened on
three in the persons of George Stovall,
Joe Birmingham and Jake Stahl. The
Ferguson incident when Stovall was
suspended, brought the AK very near
to Brother George, but back Of that
were reasons that were not made
public at the time and have not been.
The three games taken from De-
troit helped StOvall more than a lit
tie, for 1t was the position of the team
and the way that 1t was going that
weighed more than anything else with
the owner. Robert Hedges saw his
Browns win here and that may have
been one of the reasons why he has
since denied that Stovall was to be
shipped.
DAN JOHNSON has never been
II friendly to StOvall nor has
George held the most cordial feel
ings of good will toward the presi-
dent of the league. Stovall did not
better his position by openly siding
with the striking Tigers a year ago,
and II was freely predicted at the
time that he had forfeited his chance
of managing the Browns. This did
not prove to be the case. but he GER
tainly did not endear himself to Big
Ban.
D BIRMINGHAM trouble is that he
- has made the Maps too agrees
sive. In his efforts to put fight in the
team he has overdone the thing, but
now promises to work with his foot
on the soft pedal so that all may still
be well

Aleer won't let him. Factions have
grown up on the Red Sox team. the

By w. w. Naughton.

n AN FRANCISCO, CAL, July r.
y A correspondent wants to know
who, in the writer's opinion, was
the most perfect boxer of all the
Australian ring men who came to
America in the SOS and COS. And,
while | think of it, / might remark
Correspondent" is asking me to iii
pretty large question.
In the communication embOdying
the query, the gentleman says:
Il am a close reader of all that is
printed in regard to ring happenings
and l have noticed that quite often,
when discussions about comparative
cleverness of latter-day boxers AMI
former pugilists are in order, some
critic viii make reference to the
marvellous Critic" as if he were the
standard by which all that is clever
in the glove game is reckoned.
have friend who says that Critic
was simply a trick boxer and that
for useful cleverness he could not
compare with George Dawson, Pete
Jackson or Jim Hall, who were also
Australians What is your opinion on
this? Who do you think was the most
perfect boxer of ali the Australians
who came here in the SOS and 90s?"
IN regard to Critic I can only say
that l did not have an opportunity
of judging the young mans merits
when he was at his best. l did not
see him in action until he had passed
his heyday and then only once or
twice in events for which he had had
no training and seemed little con-
cerned as to which way the decision
went,
He had degenerated into a Queens
berry clown at the time Of which I
speak and was more fired with the
ambition to make the spectators laugh
than anything else. He retained SUI
ficient Of his hardness with the
gloves to make things interesting for
his opponents but his blows were of
the mushy order and his defense not
nearly so complete as 1t had been in
former years.
Whatever he might have been ear
Iier in his career, Critic was certainly
more of a trick performer or juggler
when I saw him.
So far as Critic may figure in a
discussion of this kind I would pre-
fer to pass the question on to other
CRITICS who had opportunities of max
ing comparisons between Critic and
other Australians when Critic was at
his best.
A ITSTRALIA sent US some exceed
~ ingly clever ring men and now
with my experiences and recollections
maIlowed by years, l have no hesita =
ton in saying that Peter Jackson was
the most perfect boxer" of all the
| Antipodeans l have seen in real ac-
/ ton.
George Dawson had ideas of his
own and did not hew to the lines of
| the Mace ideals of boxing. Judged
bv what he accomplished in the ring
he earned the right to be described
as clever. but he was far from being
as well balanced a piece of fighting
machinery as Jackson.
Many Of the Australians were ex-
