WILLIAMS SHOULD WIN
IN TTTULAR BATTLE
WITH TAYLOR TODAY
New York Contender for
Bantamweight Cham
pionship Not in Class
With Baltimorean-Bat-
tie Is Rounds in Ball
Park.

John Gutenko, alias Kid Williams,
champion bantamweight Of the world, will
defend his laureIs for the first time since
he won the title by defeating Johnny
Coulon on June Q. 1914. at Los Angeles
when he meets Jimmy Taylor, New
York lad, In a 15-round decision fight at
Baltimore this afternoon. The match will
be decided in Terrapin Park with Abe
Ullman, Baltimore man, officiating ms
referee.
Although dopesters throughout the couu-
try are unanimous in their opinion that
the little title-holder is not the same
fighter of a year ago, when he proved his
superiority with ease over all opponents
In limited fights, he SHOULD have little
trouble in defeating Taylor.
The New Yorker is a tough fellow. He
proved in two bouts before Philadelphia
audiences that he Is glutton under fire.
However, from an offensive standpoint
Taylor is far from being championship
calibre. Harry Smith beat him easily
and had it not been for poor coaching
Louisiana would have given Jimmy an
artistic trouncing.
The Taylor set-to will be williams
third match since he was defeated by
Johnny Kilbane here March II last after
which fray the DoSS bantam seemed TO

ace of knocking out the champion about
a month later. His last bout was a 10
round AFFAIR with Jimmy Murray. of New
York, in Baltimore.

with Byrne and was crying about the
umpires Then he lost his nerve. l
would rather lose q ball game with a
game pitcher than win with a gutter, and
that is why label was taken from the
mound.
Then 1 played percentage. Bancroft
had been batting left-handed, and when
man switches he Is invariably at sea
for the time being, particularly on curve
balls or spitters. Pierce has both. and
then again, 1 had to figure on Becker
as the next hitter as Paskert had al
ready batted for the pitcher. L decided
that pinch hitter would be put in for
Becker, but that two men would be
out, with cold man coming up.
"As It turned out was right, but
Pierce went wrong. Bancroft hit to
Phelan and snould have been retired at
first Instead Phelan threw to second
despite the fact that we had a three-run
lead. Pierce then lost control and passed

What was to do? Leave left-hand-
er In there to face Cravath-a man who
fairly kills then-Aor send In man who
has always had aGrayath at his mercy?
There was only one guess to that l sent
Cheney in. He has always found Cravath
easier than any other twirler on my
staff, and he apparently was in good
shape. 1t just happened that it was not
Cheney's day, and 1t was not long before
the game was gone.
After the game Cheney informed me
that he had caught cold in his back.
don't know whether he did or not, but
that was no time to tell me about 1t. [
probably would have done 1t all different
IL had another guess, but still contend
I did right under the circumstances.
80 far as working pitchers too hard Is
concerned-well. that is the biggest joke
yet. The present-day pitchers don't do
enough work to keep warm. You may
notice that it is always the fellow who
is not working often who has the sore
arm and who is 'overworked. The good
pitchers and the men who do things year
after year do not have sore arms. be-
cause they are always working. 1 don't
believe in too much of the warming up,
but when you get stan that loves to
dodge work you must keep after them all
the time and make them work.
my ball club Is strong. 1t could be
strengthened in one or two places, but that
is not why we are not about eight or ten
games in front. as we should be. Take a
look out there on the field when the
Phillies and Cubs are playing, and you
will see one team that has long-term con-
tracts and thoughts OF something beside
baseball. and another that is made up OF
players who, for the most part, have SEN
sIble contracts and a hustling spirit
'I could not see the Phillies when we
first met them. but I can now. They are
hustling and trying all the time, and in
this race of ours that is what win count.
II Is far from the best club In the league,
but they are eating, sleeping and thinking
baseball they want to win and won't stop
trying to win. and that spirit is going 10
be harder one TO break than most OF the
people on the circuit think"

enforce discipline. There rs no way in
the world to hurt a ball player more
than through his pocketbook. If Zim-
norman continues to display the excel
lent spirit he has to date, he knows that
the money will be returned to him.
MY honest opinion is that Zimmerman
is the most abused player in the game,
He has had to suffer because his nasty
temper got the best of him, but only after
he had tried hard to get along with his
managers. You never saw Zimmerman in
trouble, fined or put out of the game
every other day when Chance was his
manager, and there was reason.
Zimmerman has been misunderstood
too much. He loves to win and naturally
Is bit unmanageable when things are
breaking bad for the team and himself,
but II his past managers had treated him
halfway decently they would have found
him great help to them instead OF a
hindrance. have always treated my
players on the square, as l am still a ball
player at heart and always will be.
But am going to tell you that am
beginning to think that It does not pay
to be too lenient with them. No team was
ever better treated than my present ag-
gregation. but they don't seem TO appre-
ciate II and from now out they are going
to be ruled with an iron hand.
THE ball player Of today seems to feel
too sure OF his job. There are too many
iong-term contracts and too many players
who are thinking too much OF outside
