"BECK'S" AMEN CORNER
BY ~BECK"

JACK CURLEY is said to be saving
) up Jess Willard for a title bout
at Juarez over the finish route some
date about November, when the
horsemen are back at the track
across the river. After thinking over
the stories about the recent Havana
bout, doubt arises as to whether
Curley and company viii find any
particular encouragement to come
back to this part Of the country.
WILLIE RICHIE is now trying
W to make the fight fans believe
he is crazy for a fight with Mike
Gibbons. Willie shouldn't try to
steal any of Packy McFarland's
press agent thunder.
JESS WILLARD'S managers spun
} the offer of Denver promoters of
$4,000 for the champion to meet
"Gunboat" Smith July 4. "ToO
small for the champion to risk his
title" was the answer Of the money
grabbers. Well, it looks as though
they haven't an awful lot Of faith
in Wizards ability to defend his
title. And there are others Of a
like opinion.

PILL HURLEYS pickup of jim
Black, the big pitcher and out
fielder, was Just like finding money.
Howard Guyn, who was with Hurley
two years ago, decided not to re-
port this year and wired the man
ager that he would send along a
young outfielder who could also
pitch, if it was agreeable to Hurley.
Bill was disappointed at not getting
Guyn but told him to send along the
substitute. Now Black looks good
enough to be worth $3.50 next fall in
a sale to some class A club.
WOMEN viii be admitted free to
" all games at Rio Grande park
this week, Sunday excepted. This
is a special treat for the fair fans
as it is unlikely that there viii be
more than two women's days in any
series hereafter.
Joe MATHES shoEJd add strength
} to the El Paso team Joe has
the speed that is needed for first
base and his batting should also
prove a factor. Here's hoping he
delivers the goods.

TEW YORK, May 12.-One Of the
N main reasons for the early sue
L cess Of the Yankee this season is
the fact that they play ball with the
spirit Of college youths-not with the
spirit of day Iaborers driven to dis
agreeable but necessary task
The Yankee spirit is a revelation
these days The puolic has become &C
customed to seeing ball players play
as though it were real work Outside
of that ~'hurrah-au together boys
spirit that the Braves showed last
summer no team in modern times has
treated the fans to as genuine and re-
freshing a spectacle Of enthusiastic
baseball as have the Tanks-

Undignified you say? Quite so
quite so. But that spirit carries you
back to your kid days. It recalls mem

that you are watching mOnsy mad

feel that you are watching men play

Those Yanks love Old Bill-love him

Perrine sacrificed and Mathes famed.
McConnelTs curves were so wide that
they were hard to call and the local
fans thought he should not have been
out Then came George buddy. On
the fifth offering of the pitcher
there had been two strikes and two
balls previous-umpire Sterling called
it a ball Quigley insisted that il was
a strike and ran away in to the plate
to say so. The press box is much
nearer the plate than second base and
it looked close but the umpires call
was fair On the next one. George hit
to right field and roasted on first base
while Thompson and Knight scored
and the game was won
After the game, several OF the
Douglas players used language that
will hardly go in this league and
threatened all sorts Of damage to the
umpire.

Despite the fact that Jack Lewis was
twice knocked from the box on Sun
day, NcClosloey sent him in again Tues
day against the Douglas team Per

be easy because they had lost all but
one game Of the Albuquerque series.

wrong for the visitors were strength

trace of a hit for two innings. And
then it happened. Glory be, but the
scorers sure had a busy quarter OF an
hour When IL was al over we man

ten runs over the plate on seven hits,
four passes and five stolen bases

It costs the "Y" a considerable sum
to pull of these events and you can
do your part toward encouraging
clean sports for the youths of the
southwest by buying a couple Of
tickets.
