Boston might have had Wambsganss

Boston might have had Wambsganss
but for a bit of strategy on the part OF
Lee Alexander Fohl. whose middle name
is Alexander and not Arthur. When Jim
Dunn through Robert McRoy, bought
Iris Speaker from Boston, the Red Sex
were to have two players. These they
later picked, one being Sam Jones and
the other Fred Thomas. Wamby was
kept out of all the games while the Red
Sox parties in authority were making
their selection.
AS matter of fact, Wamby did
mighty little work this spring, for he
reported thinking that Lee Alexander
Fohl, who handles every one differently,
was going to shunt him to the minors.
The Indians did have couple of extra
inielders and Fohl wanted to take
look at them. You are going to be
with me this summer" said Fohl to
Wamby, so don't look so glum. I just
want to take a peek at these fellows;.1
don't think either one of them will do.
I know you'll do when / get ready to
use you.
Wambys chance came this year when
Chapman was injured. The young fell
low jumped right in and played Won
derful ball while that great shortstop
was on the disabled list, his work
slumping only when he heard that Ray
was able to work again.
When Chappie got back into the fray
Wamby was benched, but he did not
have to sit near the water cooler long.
for Foil intended to use the man with
the long name at second and soon gave
him Ivan Towards job.

No Match With Willard.
In the first place, practically every
body has had the idea that Dillon was
turning over heaven and earth almost
in his efforts to get bout with Will
lard, especially after the beating given
Frank. Moran. Also many think that
Willard has been sdestepping a match
with the "man-killer," as Dillon has
come to be termed by those writing of
his victories in the ring. AS a matter
of fact. Dillon does not want to meet
Willard and never intends to face him
in a bout for the heavyweight cham
pionship of the world. The only kind
of battle, according to Dillon him
self. in which he would ever agree to
face Willard would be a six, eight or
ten round no-decision affair, in which
he would depend upon his ability to
keep away from the giant conqueror of
Jack Johnson to prevent being greatly
hurt. Here is how Dillon puts il in
answer to direct inquiry regarding a
bout with Willard:
MY head has not been swelled suffi-
GENTLY by what I have done in the
ring to make me foolish, not yet. I
know what Willard is. and he is too big
and strong for me. The only conditions
under which I would ever take a chance
on meeting him would be in a short.
no-iecision bout. If some promoter
wanted to put on a fight of that char
acter between US I would take the
chance on keeping away from him
enough to prevent getting hurt much ::
I'd run that risk in order to make
the money. because I suppose a match
between us would be good drawing
card. AS far as a long fight for the
championship is concerned, ! am not
going to meet Willard, because there
could be only one ending. No matter
how much ] might keep away from him
in a short bout. could never continue
to do so in long one, and he would
wear me down eventually, even if
could hit as hard and reach as far as
he. through sheer weight and power
With that long left arm of Willard S
the only opportunity to do any real fighting
would be in close. and that would give
him all the opportunity to wear me out
that he might want. AS / said before.
I'd meet Willard in a short bout, and
take a chance of keeping out of his
reach. just to make the money, but
would not consider a long battle for
