Johnson and his family are to leave
tonight with Charles Comiskey and
the latter's family for the coast.
Much mystery surrounded the rea-
son for Johnson's eastward journey.
American league officials refused to-
day either to confirm or deny the re-
mort that he is going to talk with
Pacific coast magnates regarding
granting concessions to that organ

After that Gowdy took the torn pants
along with him every time the team
left the home grounds. and he thinks
that tear won the pennant Tor them.
by the end OF the season the tear
was so big that Stallings had to tell
Gowdy to have Il mended, but Hank
said he'd kill any tailor he caught try
ing to sew up them pants.
80 when the bunch went to Phil
adelphia for the first game OF the
worlds series, Gowdy took the torn
pants along, but Stallings told him
he couldn't come on the field that
way and ordered Hank to put on an
other pair OF pants. Hank did put on
another pair they had In the club
house trunk, but he didn't take on the
torn pants. He wore the new pair
over the torn pair in that game and
the team won. He tried the same
trick the next day and they won
again. He didn't need them after
that. but I'll bet he cut out the seat
of those pants and had II framed.

Many Ancient Wheezes Still

The charge that Willie Beecher
thoroughly creased himself before his
fight with Freddie Welsh in New York
last month, suggests the possibility
that some OF the famous old tricks
of the ring are not as obsolete as Is
supposed. although the days when q
boxer could work his man around TO
the corner, so some second could
slam him with q board and put
him TO sleep. are past. This greas-
ing stunt makes man slippery as an
eel and enables him to appear much
faster than he really is.
Another old stunt was the one
worked on Jimmy Clabby few years
ago I'm Boston. A secondrater put II
all over Jimmy. and the Hammond
was never able to fgure
why until few months ago, when he
learned that the ring canvas had
