LIKES HARRY BISHOP.

Sporting Editor: / think that
Harry Bishop is my favorite boxer
around these parts. / don't care
anything about these tame, lady
like, little scraps where two fell
lows tap away at each other and
think they are showing real class.
The stuff gets my goat.
When two boxers climb into the
ring want to see the fur fly, and
I'm always looking for the man
with the wallop. And II anyone
should happen to ask, that is the
young man from South Tacoma.
Harry Bishop has an awful kick
in each mitt, and when he lands
a fair crack on his opponents jaw
good night,
And Bishop can stand a lot of
pounding, too. l have seen him
stand up under some fierce lac
ings, and never vince once, Just
waiting his opportunity to land
a good one, OF course he doesn't
know much about science and
doesn't dance around the ring
with fancy steps-but he can
fight.

either, but l am willing to back

JAPANESE PRIZE WINNER
is EXPERT ON BASEBALL
90 90 80 go 49, SO
WON IN TIMES CONTEST

Because the theory OF baseball
is for each man to help the team
along, regardless of himself. is
the reason B. Togawa. a young
Japanese of this city. likes the
game. Togawa recently won one
of the prizes In the baseball con-
test conducted by the Tacoma
Times, and showed a surprising
knowledge of the game. I
Baseball" he declares, lis the
only sport where every player
must be united in one, and for
this reason / find 1t most interest
ing"
Togawa first became acquaint-
ed with the great American game
in Japan nine years ago, but not
until he came to this country did
he realize what baseball really
was, and he attended every game
he could.
In addition to being a close
student of the game, Togawa is
quite a skillful player. having
worked with several Japanese,
teams here. His favorite position

BY FULLERTON

ATHENS, Ca, March 1.-THE
plight OF the Cleveland team in
being deprived Of the services of
almost It's entire staff of right
handlers and forced to rely chiefly
upon left-handers raises the ques-
tion of why are left-handed pitch
ers bugs" to use a baseball
term.
Cleveland has Steen, of course.
but the condition of his arm
after being broken Is a problem.
The team has persuaded Blanding
to jump back from the Feds, but
the chances are that he will not
be permitted to play, as the Feds
will rush to court and tie him up.
The other right-handers are ex-
periments--so that the real work
of the season must fall upon Vean
Gregg, Willie Mitchell and Nick
Cullop, with Lefty James and
Walker, two other left-handers, to
help out. II is the first time In
baseball that all the stars OF a
teams pitching staff have been
portsiders. and the situation is
what makes Cleveland's team
such a problem for the students
of baseball.
l have never been able to solve
the puzzle of why left-handed
pitchers are more peculiar and
temperamental than right hand
ers, but the fact remains that
they are. The condition is gen.
eral in baseball and extends only
to the pitchers. Left-handed play
ers in other positions are, on the
average, as normal as any other
men. But. from the earliest his
tory of baseball, the fact has been
recognized that left-handers are
more 'temperamental" than
grand opera stars.
Once l advanced a theory and
persuaded several doctors to back
it up that made me vastly unpop-
ular with left-handed pitchers
The theory was that left arm
working directly over the heart
caused excessive strain on that
organ. causing 1t to pump the
blood into the brain too rapidly,
and this overlooking of the
brain affected the thinking power
of the pitchers. Whether or not
this was true l never knew. The
doctors, with many hens and
haws and qualifications, were
willing to stand for It.
Other American league mana
gers are laughing at Birming-
ham. who must depend upon left
handlers. II makes the dope"
on the Cleveland team an uncer-
tain proposition. Left-handers

streaks. IL all his three left

necessary.
He Is young. and II he can get

reason why he should't become

danger Is that some fellow will

TOLD THE TRUTH
ARTICLE NO o.
BIZ Eddie Graney


(CIleap flattery ~ the most In
sidious OF the demoralfxing in
flucnces against which profess
sional fighters must guard them
selves, declares Eddie Graney,
who as fast lightweight, promoter
and referee has followed the game
for 25 years.--Edit0r.)
The thing the fighters of today
need most and get least of, is
plain, blunt truth.
They are being "yessed to
death" by those who fawn and
flatter. It's always yes. yes,"
from everyone, with never a So
Der, checking mo" to drive home
a warning or advice.
The result Is a surmounting
vanity which frequently makes
the younger scrappers of today
the laughing stock of everyone
outside their own coterie. And
of course it prevents them from
ever becoming really big"
AS an example of this colossal
egotism-the assumption that the
world hangs breathlessly on their
words and actions-I remember
one youngster with whom | sat in
a box at the theater, watching a
Lillian Russell performance.
With the utmost assurance he
asked the usher to go behind the
scenes for a specially requested
song.
lust tell Lillian that | want
her to sing it," he said, with a
wave of his hand.
Needless to say there was no
response. Lillian Russell proba-
bly, had never even heard of this
second rater before.

ship REGISTRY BILL
UP FOR Vote MONDAY
Despite Vigorous Attacks on Measure
in Senate. There Is No Doubt Of
the Adoption of the Report.
MARITIME AN UNEXPECTED FOE

The Senate agreed yesterday to vote
on the conference report on the ship
registry bill next Monday. There Is no
doubt Of the adoption of the report
Almost the entire day in the Senate
was consumed in discussing the report
Senator Gallinger made a vigorous at
tack upon II declaring that the origi-
nal purpose Of the legislation which was
to meet an emergency had been per-
verted to an invasion OF the coastwise
shipping OF the United States.
Senator Cummins declared that the
leaving out OF his amendment requiring
that corporations which hereafter acquire
ships and apply for American registry
shall show that a majority Of thAr stock
is owned and held by citizens Of the
United States, would leave the United
States in a position by which the act
may be used as subterfuge by which
foreign shipping belonging to belligsrent
powers may take refuge under 1t and In
that way the United States may give
offense to friendly powers.
. Unexpected opposition to the report
developed when Senator MARITIME, OF New
Jersey, attacked the provision admitting
foreign built ships TO the coastwise trade.
He said it would result in injury to
American ship builders and American
sailors.
