D EVERTING TO the first practice

Tuesday, too, and after one off day
we will all turn out to watch the
Cleveland Maps, with Joe Jackson,
Lajoie Chapman and Doc Johnson in
spangles, for a three game series.
ONE interesting feature of the pre-
~ liminary pastiming will be the
chance to compare Glass AA ball with
our own caliber. Louisville usually
has an average AA team. and Roches-

the International circuit. 1t has long

Jumps behind the Double-A affairs,

their experiments in pitching and so
on, are by no means to be accepted
as conclusive, a careful study Of the

~HICAGO, March 1O.-In an in
I teresting article ON subcon-
scious golf by Henry Leach,
mention is made of the case of good
golfer who wished to conquer q Ger
tain stroke that constantly eluded
him. His plan for learning the stroke
was to have three enlarged photo
properly executing the stroke.
One photograph depicted the be-
ginning, the other the top of the
swing and the third the finish. These
pictures were hung where they could
be constantly seen by the player who
wished to improve his game. He made
no conscious effort to study the pho
togra phs, merely looked at them from
time to time, and his mind simply
absorbed them Gradually he felt
the secret of the stroke was being I'M
folded to him until at last he found
himself playing 1t exactly like the
man in the photogra ph, 1t had all
been a matter OF unconscious abb
sorption and imitation.

X HICAGO, March 1O.-'Thls
Murray boy out on the

played and the wonderful conf
dence that he has" remarked
Harry Foley the other night in
discussing the latest fistic find"
out on the Pacific Coast. Muir
rays first name is Billy and he
is the 19-year- boy who took
Lee Houck to the most crushing
defeat of Leo's long and tenn
pestuous career. 1t went only
fourteen rounds and the German
was completely whipped.
giles like KetcheI in that he
II has got a shift that is a
corker," Foley continued In his
laudations of his townsman. Yes,
I'll go further than that and say
that he is nearly as good as Fitz-
simmons was with that crisis
cross style of delivery. And by
the way he isn't unlike Fitz in
build at that, especially from the
waist down He has the same
old knock knees as the Australia
wonder has.
at WAS this shift that got
L Leo going early in the fray
and kept him going all the way
through. Murray is an innocent
looking sort Of a boob and when
Houck sized him up in his corner
he must have figured him to be
the easiest kind of picking But
when they shaped up In the cen
ter and had been sparring for
few moments Murray started his
shift and swung a right into Leo's
jaw 50 hard that the German saw
stars.
ct HAT started Leo backing up
on his heels and I'll swear
that he never recovered his equi-
librium from that ONTO the finish.
He was rocked all the way
through, Murray fighting a care
full battle and taking few chances
of running into one of the des-
perate mans swings.
nXHT HAT struck me most Of all
was this lads supreme con-
fldence both before and after the
Houck contest. He always thought
he would beat Leo and after he
had turned the trick he didn't
seem to feel either highly elated
or changed in any way. | asked
him If he would box Clabby and
he said he would be glad to do so.
ct HEN suggested to him that
II might not be a bad idea
for him 10 get some of the soft
ones before he took on the Ham
mond man. He looked at me in
blank way and then told me he
didn't figure Clabby any worse
than the others, and that was all
he would say.
0VoU know that a young fe.
low who feels that way
about H. sincerely. too, ] might
say, ia bound TO make a heavy
mark among the middles before
he gets through ! wouldn't tout
