MISSOULA PITCHER IS
WILDER THAN Knapp

Baseball fans who used to read the
a"couuts of the games Gene Knapp
pitched for the Maps and then mutter
Widest pitcher in the IcgaUe,' will
have TO change their tune. The reason
Is that out in Missoula, Montana, in
he Union Association, they had a
pitcher last season named Bohan who
has Rubber backed far of the Boards
when il comes TO inaccurate firing.
BOhans record is an unusual one In
fifty games he issued 205 bases on balls
an average Of over four TO the game.
Iu addition sixteen batters were hit by
his offerings, making a total Of 81
gifts TO first base. The erratic hUrler
also cut loose thirty-niue wild pitches.
In exact contrast to such a record is
hat Of Christy Mathewson in the Ma
CIOnal League. Peerless ChTisty issued
but twenty-one passes in forty games.
IN other words about one gift every
other game. He made but three wild
pitches during the season and did not
hit q single batter.
Another interesting fact is the re-
Tnarkable control which the American
mound artist seems to possess. Vean
Gregg Is carded as the widest tWirler
Of Ban Johnson's circuit, having hit
fourteen and given I21 bases on balls,

THOMPSON EXPLAINS
SMALL TEAMS PEP
Says They Can Afford to Cut
Loose in Hopes of Landing
a Victory.

The unusual strength developed by
the so-called smaller college football
teams of last season is still a subject
of much discussion by students Of the
game. NJ ]. Thompson. former coach
at Georgetown and one of the leading
officials and authorities on football, in
an analysis Of the situation states:
There are several very satisfactory
reasons that might be offered to explain
the football equality which at present
exists between the large and small COL
leges The large universities must by
reason of their football policy retain
conservative style of play. The
smaller colleges, on the other hand,
more readily adapt themselves to the
changes in the rules. and are conse-
Quently able to offer more surprises in
offensive play than their big brothers
can Offset by their more ponderous
team work. Then, too, the small insti-
tutions have everything to saIn and
nothing to lose by employing these new
tactics.
"If they lose, it is no iIscredit to
them, but they win or even tie, great
glory is theirs, ana their victory is
nearly always the result of careful
analysis of the new rules, and often
their reckless application. Their style
is always characterized by Quick, snap
by plays. the frequent use of the for
ward pass, and. when it was legal, the
Cnside kick. The large universities can
rot so safely employ these tactics. They
must be conservative they can take no
chances. they must win as the result
of less brilliant plays and more fault
less team work, so when an ordinarily
weaker team offers a good defense and
a beWildering number of open plays,
the rightful victor must lose

FitZSimmonS Cannot
Box in New York Ring

NEW YORK, Jan. H.-Bob Fitzsim-

State. Justice Seabury. of the supreme
court. today handed down a decision
unfolding the State Boxing Commission
in its order prohibiting Fftzsimmons
from meeting soldier" kearns before
the Garden a. c. here.
Justice Seabury held that the boxing
commission had acted within its au-
thority when it ordered that Fitz should
not box before clubs of this State be-
cause Of his age and the belief that
his appearance might injure the game
in case the veteran fighter should be
