NIEHOFF WELCOME
FIGURE FOR LOCAL
BASEBALL FANS
Reds Third Baseman, Ac-
quired by Phillies, Will Be
an Athlete to Bolster Up
NJ oran's S Aggregation.

Bert Niehoff, who played 142 games at
third base for the Cincinnati Reds last
year, was traded to the Phillies yesterday
in exchange for Charley Doom. He is
and appears to have the edge on all other
candidates for Lobert's job. He stole 20
bases, hit for an average of 242, fielded
.9A and ranked second in assists with
272, The deal was completed yesterday
in New York. when Garry Hermann gave
his consent to the transfer. The Reds
have a capable SUCCESSOR to Niehoff in
Won Kolnitz.
Manager Moran now has three third
basemen-Bobby Byrne, Milton Stock and
Niehoff-and it would not be surprising
should either Stock or Byrne be traded.

BILE and by fighting at every chance? ?
There then would be no question today
of Johnson's finish.
But in place of this, if Johnson loses
his defeat will come from one OF two
reasons-either because he is in no
shape TO stand long fight, or be-
cause the battle has been framed.
Jeffries with all his natural ability had
to work and fight to reach the top
Willard has done neither. and if he ar
rives there it will be more by default
than actual achievement

TWENTY years ago, or from 1895 to
i 1900 there were at least Ave first
class heavyweights operating in the
fight game. They were Jim Corbett,
Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Jeffries, Tom
Sharkey and Kid Mccoy.
In that epoch there was money in the
game, but nothing like the surplus of
kale now waiting for the next white
heavyweight champion, where a half
million within two or three years would
be easy picking.
Money Minus the Men
From 1910 to 1915, with a stack OF
golden bullion In easy reach, the game
has had one first class heavyweight.
His name is Jack Johnson. Despite the
fact that Johnson has brought greater
disgrace 10 his game than any other
man ever brought to any sport, no one
can question his ability in the ring.
But for is years now it has never been
a matter of three or four good men
ready TO fight 1t out-of three or four
good Youngsters coming on to take Jack
Johnsons place II a single irst class
youngster had started Ave years ago,
and had started in the right way by
learning his game ana gathering in a
batch OF needed experience under are,
Johnson today would be doomed at his
next start and his conqueror would be
within two jumps OF cool and shining
million.
