Johnson Should Defeat Willard Easily

IL been signed to fight Jack John
son from % to As rounds some during
the month OF March. Johnson has no
desire to travel across country through
strife ridden Mexico. He has even less
desire to travel across United States
territory. owing to the little Indictment
under the Mann-white slave act winch
is still pending against him 1t Is,
therefore. very probable that the 80

place in aVana or maybe IN Tia Juana
which is near the Mexican west coast
That the affair viii go As or even %
rounds is highly improbable. All re
ports Of experts concerning the john
sOn-MOTan 90 in London are to the et-
feet that. despite the fact that john
son had done practically no training
and was in only fair condition, yet he
simply played with Moran, and had he
wished to he could have scored a
knockout at any stage of the bout.

Nature should take its course in de-
velOping a big league player. This is
clearly demonstrated by the success of
Boston Bill' James, the star hurler
of the major leagues during the past
season and whose two victories in the
worlds series proved a potent factor
in that club winning the worlds cham
pionship.
When James first Joined the Braves,
Stallings did not take kindly to his
system of twirling. That is, he did not
like his delivery, and he made an effort
to induce James to change to a differ
emit system. James had speed, a spit
ter. fair control and a change of pace
When he Joined the Braves, but Stall
ings believed that he could develop him
into a great curve ball twirler.
James started trying to curve a ball
while with the Braves in 1913 and he
proved a miserable failure. The lanky
hurler lost control, a twiriers best as
set, and went from bad to worse. He
looked like a lemon n the sport writ
ers referred to him as a Joke" Finally
he induced the pilot of the Braves to
allow him to go back to his old form
of twirling. 1t was granted, and he
at once developed into a star. 1t took
James some time to regain his old form
but his record during the past season
in which he clearly proved himself to
=, be the hub of the Boston machine, de-
veloped the fact that a pitcher can &C
complish more if he is allowed to use
his own system of twirling.

that the game was being played so far

Most likely. those who viii have the

The question of spring training
round is now being discussed by the
managers and magnates of the big
league teams. For this reason it is
essential that Ell Paso make some ar
rangements to secure them, if the city
is Interested in bringing one or more
Of these clubs here during the spring
training seasons.
Last year the Chicago White SOX did
their spring training in California.
This year the owners of the club are
looking for new training quarters. The
rainy season in California was a handi-
can to the club and with proper in
ducements the White SOx would no
doubt come to FL PasO next season.

NHOULD the chamber of commerce,
the Adclub, oRtary club or other
- commercial organizations of this
city make an effort, FL Paso would un-
doubtedly be selected as the training
grounds by some of the big league
teams. There are several of the Amer
lean n National league organizations
now making an effort to secure new
training quarters in a city where the
climate would permit early training.
FL Paso has the most ideal climate of
any city in the United States for
spring training for a baseball club For
this reason one, if not more, of the big
league teams would come to FL Paso
each spring if the proper inducements
were made.
Within a short time a large hotel and
other modern buildings win be con-
s~tructed at Fort SeIden, which is des-
tined to become one of the greatest
watering places of the United States.
The promoters of this resort are maxi
ing an effort to secure one of the ma
jor leaEe teams to train there. Tom
TaCEert and other eastern capitalists
who are interested in the project are
expected to visit Ell Paso within a
short time and something definite will
be accomplished regarding the opening
of the springs. There are also a num-
Der of prominent business men of the
city who are interested in Fort Selden
and if the commercial organizations
become sufficiently interested it seems
very probable that a big league team
can become induced to train either at
the spring or near this city.

a southern city to train is a big asset
for that city in many different re-
spects. AS a rule between 20 and 80
