1t is a very unpleasant sensation to
feel that an adversary is purpOsely
leaving the fatal kick out of his best
punches, but this is what the big fellow
is doing at present Unlike most
lighters in training, if he sees he has
staggered or hurt a sparring partner
he backs off or stalls until they have
time to recover. In this he shows good
judgment, because the better shape
his trainers are in, the better work
they can give him.
1t is rather unusual to go through
three weeks hard training without
someone developing sore joints or
muscles. We have daily been expect

from his strenuous work, but up to now
his physical condition has been almost

this, he went through some special back

not eXaggerate the truth very much.

carried around his waist line and his
muscles feel like bundles of new rub

London, Eng, Feb 17.-That the war
will consolidate the friendship already
existing between English, French, Bel
gian and Russian athletes is unques-
tionable, but fancy it will greatly re-
tard the Olympic games movement. The
1916 celebration fixed for Berlin, is OF
course, abandoned entirely and it is
doubtful if any international athleIlc
meeting in the near future Will be
patroniZed by athletes belonging to the
belIigerent nations. Already there is
some talk of dropping the Olympic
games for good and 1 should say that
the notion will be hailed with en-
thusiasm by the bulk Of European ma
tiOns.
If the games are finally and entirely
RELOCATED to the scrap heap 1t is pretty
certain that the Imperial Swimming
federation and similar associations VIII
also go by the board. Any attempt on
the part of the American A A. Z. to
hold the games would be fOredOOmed
to failure. Such a meeting would not
attract official entries from countries
on this side of the channel and more
over, very few of our governing ath-
letic associations are in flOurishing
financial condition to raise individual
teams on theer own account.

"HOME RUN" BAKER
QUITS BASEBALL

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 17.-'Home
Run" Baker, star third baseman of the
Philadelphia American team, has deCid-
ed to retire from the diamond and will
not appear with the team next season,
according to an announcement made
here Tuesday night by manager Connie
Mack at dinner of the Philadelphia
Sporting Writer'S association.
Baker last year signed a three year
contract with the Athletics. Mack
stated that the third baseman is not
dissatisfied with the terms of the con-
tract, but wants to devote his time to
his farm in Maryland.
Baker is less than % years old and
has been a member of the Athletics
since 1908. His batting average in that
year Wos 1907. He was the hero of the
1911 and 1913 world series with the
New York Giants. In 1911 he knocked
home runs in two games at critical
periods and in 1918 put the ball over
the fence in the opening contest. Last
year his batting average for the sea-
son was 1896 and he made Il home
runs but, like other members of the
team, appeared to be in a slump in
the crucial series with the Boston
Braves.
More than 400 diners were present at
the dinner, which was in honor of Lar
~ Lajoie, who returns to the Athletics
after an absence Of 10 years.

" perfect, was near a point Of collapse
when the last gong sounded.
other Negroes Strong.
But you needn't stop with Johnson In
putting to the test our theory that a
negro can stand more physical mis-
treatment than a white man. The rec
ord of Sam LangfOrd and Joe Jeanette,
the other two negroe heaVyWelghts,
will bear us out. Go back farther into
ring history and you will find that the
negroes who mixed in the fight game
seemed just as able to withstand the
ravages of age and physical eXcesses.
LongfOrd has been fighting almost
constantly for Is years-and living
free and easy life during all those
years. LangfOrd rarely trains for his
battles. For 10 years he has been liv
ing the careless kind of life that proba-
bly, would send a white fighter to his
grave in three or four years yet today
that same Sam LangfOrd is able to send
the best white fighter in the world to
the pugilistic scrap heap.
LangfOrd is Fighter.
LangfOrd is a fighter-nOt a pugilist
lOafer. Daring 1914, after Il years in
the ring game, he mingled in II ring
battles-an average of one scrap IN
every three weeks. The only reason
he didn't fight oftener was because
he couldn't get any more matches.
Joe Jeanette, the other ebony hued
heavyweight, is "a years old years
younger than Johnson. He horned in
to the fighting game back in 1904 and
has been at it ever since. Fighting
every time a match was offered and
not stopping to bubble about terms.
Jeanette fought 16 battles, in 1911,
% in 1912, Is in 1913 and IA in 1914
an average of about one battle in every
three weeks over a four year strecth-
a record that no white fighter of the
past or present can equal
And so in face of what the negro
have dOne-and are doing-in
spite Of their added years and careless
living, it seems to us that it is a bit
unsafe to bet on Willard if you are
banking on his meeting a physical
wreck.

New BrOncho Boss Lines Up His Team

San Antonio Team Is Securing Players
BY f. w. MOsEBACH.

x AN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. 17.-Harry
Benson, the new Broncho boss, is
very busy man these days. With
Cap Leidy he is engaged in the work
OF getting things in readiness for the
ensuing season, and right off the bat it
may be stated that the name Of Benson
rings in harmony with the names of
former Broncho bosses. The first and
original boss was Pete Brophy, now
dead, formerly Of Galveston, who was
groomed into a baseball magnate from
his calling of poultry dealer by the
late Jim Nolan. BrOphys BrOnchos
was the name that was adopted after
a voting contest in which the winner
was rewarded with a season ticket.
Later they were Blocks Bronchos and
now they are Benson's BrOnchOs, thus
keeping the BIS in the running.
And now comes John J. McClOskey,
a hustler in a class by himself, and
starts a baseball league in virgin ter
ritOry to take in three states and part
Of old Mexico. When Mac organized
the old Texas league back in '8S he
was 20 years ahead of his time, merely
an illustration of the speed at which
he travels, and now he is back with a
new venture.
VIII Go Into Mexico.
McClOskey is nothing if not original,
for his latest project viii stamp him
as the first conner with organized ball
in old Mexico. The circuit is TO in

T EW YORK. FeD. land now
N that the Jack Johnson-Jess VIII
lard affair seems fairly certain
OF being staged, as per schedule, we
venture forth with this prediction:
johnson viii win with comparative
ease If the fight is on the level.
There are a number of reasons why
we pick Johnson, but the most impor-
rant one IS that he comes of the negro
race-a race that can grow old in years
and yet retain its endurance; OF q race
that can indulge in wild dissipation and
not lose much Of its physical power
Those who believe Willard has a fair
chance for victory come to such a belief
not because they think Willard is
great fighter. They know he isn't
wonder, but they think the negro
champion has gone back so far that
any ordinary fighter can beat him.
Those who figure thus figure wrong
", in our opinion. Johnson is 81 years
old There is no denying that. nor is
there any denying that he has dissi-
pated. The extent of his dissipation is
an open question, but those who are
close to Johnson say reports Of his
swimming in champagne and doing like
stunts are gross Congregations. But in
our opinion the added years and the
dissipation, no matter how wild it has
been, have not reduced Johnson to the
point where he viii not be able to hand
Willard, the white giant beautiful
tanning.
He Showed Up Norm.
Johnson was SO years old when he
fought Frank Moran in Paris last June.
At the time many figured that Johnson
had gone back" so far that Moran had
q chance against him. What happened?
Johnson, the physical wreck" sim
ply tOyed with Moran during those 20
rounds. He could have knocked out
Moran in any round that he chose, but
he elected that the white man should
stay the limit. Moran did not furnish
Johnson a battle. The negro didn't have
to extend himself, yet several times
during those 20 rounds he cut loose.
Those who were at the ringside say
that the old Johnson speed, the old
Johnson endurance and the old John
son punch are still there.
Johnson came out Of that scrap with
