BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL sORTs-BOXNG

dissatisfied with the batting of the
SOX team, but certain excuses can be
made for the light hitting of the ath-
Ietes. It can be safely said that the
SOX are facing more difficult pitch
ing right now than any other major
league team in training camp.
They are opposing Pacific Coast
league pitchers who are far advanced
in condition, for the season out there
opens officially next week. Through
out the vinter these coast fellows
keep in action, and, when spring rolls
around, they are ready to curve the
ball and put on all their reserve
steam.
The Sox, stale from winters idle
ness, are puzzled by the mid-seasOn
stuff and require some time to get
their eyes shaTpened. It is notice
able that every spring the Sox begin
to bat harder as they travel east
ward and meet teams which have not
had as much time to train.
Battling these coasters should be a
great aid to the Hose fellows: When
the American league season opens
curve balls are no novelty to them,
and they are used to watching the
fast ones zip by. Registering but
three or four hits against Coast
league teams makes a major league
squad look very weak until all angles
of the situation are examined.
The most promising feature of the
spring work of the SOX this year is
the fact that the recruits, FeIch and
Brief, are batting with great vigor. 1t
makes little difference what such vet
Grams as Ed and John Collins, Buck
Weaver or Ray SchaIk do. They have
proven themselves in the big league
and can be counted on when they
warm to their work.
Tom Daily, it seems at present, is
to be used solely as a catcher during

full against Leach Cross in a ten
round fight at New York last night.
The mill was hot battle, with plenty
of stirring mix-UpS~in, every round
but one, and was termed a draw by
the majority of critics. Both fighters
were. somewhat battered and very
tired at the final bell.
White should have whipped Cross
to be considered one Of the real top
notcheTs of the lightweight division.
Leach is a willing and sturdy fighter,
but he isn't a champion, or even a
challenger. Whites best work was
done when he stood off and boxed,
Cross excelling at infghting.
Packey Mcfarland and Mike Glib
bons have been matched to fight ten
rounds within go days before the club
making the best offer 1t appears
that each man is earnest in his de-
termination to force the meeting, and
small chance for a disagreement is
seen. Bids will be opened April Is
and the club putting up the most at
tractiVe inducements will get the
card.

accepted. Gibbons, of course, had to
yield in order to make the fight GER

O'Clock the day of the match, a stip-
uIatiOn Mcfarland demanded.
