"Beck's" Amen Corner
By sRECKs

WRESTLING is going strong in
w southern California with Frank
Gotch, Joe Stecher, AID Santell,
Charlie Cutler, Demetral and others
gathering in the long green.
ONE record was set at the Juarez
1acetrack during the past season
about which we will not hear very
much from the track boosters. The
percentage of winning favorites was
lust under 81, one of the lowest
averages in the history of the turf.
The attendance marks have not been
made public but it is believed that a
record has been set in this depart
ment, also. And the record is low
not high.
LARRY ROSS, not Harry Day,
was the man who boxed Frank
Moran here six years ago. The
names got twisted, somehow or
other, in getting to the sport writer.
And Harry-the real Harry, this
time-says that he thinks Willard
will hold Moran off at arms length
and lab him at viii in the New
York fight.
MONDAY was the birthday of ].
4'A Franklin Baker and New York
papers took up columns of space on
the sport pages to print his batting
records for the past seven seasons,
how he has batted against individual
pitchers and then quote the slugger
as saying he "will bat the Yankees
into a pennant" Verify, talk is
cheap.
WHILE Tom Jones is worrying
over the receipts from persons
visiting the Willard training camp,
Frank Moran is winning friends by
the hundreds by turning over all
receipts from admissions to his camp
to charity. This amounts to around
500 a day and shows that Moran is
free handed.

GIANTS must pay Jim Thorpe his
salary for another season so the
big fellow has been ordered to re-
port at the Marlin camp. If he
shows any class, McGraw says that
he may use him in few games. Jim
proved a rather expensive advertise
ment for the Giants.

Pittsburg's infield is not at all sat

Jimmy Smith makes it much more hope

an individual that helps. The thing
that is best about getting Smith is this:
Last year the infield was largely patch
work. constantly switching, yet was so
immObile that any switch vitality weak
ened some spot. Niox was on the infieid
and that weakened the Outfield lineup.
Now Callahan has Smith and also Joe
Schultz to reinforce the infield Cleve-
land. from Norfolk. is the only sign OF
promise among the tryout brigade. He
hits fairly well and has speed. SigIin
and McAuley won't do-reason, can't
hit
The infield ratings, Of course. do not
settle a pennant, but they have n dis
tinctly important bearing upon il. A
weak infield may get by il the pitching
is so good the fielding chances are easy.

of William II. Pelphrey. league presi-
dent. in the Trust building, this eve
ming. TO talk over the plans for the
league this summer. Mr.. Pelphrey ex-
pected to have a full gathering of the
managers on Thursday evening but the
notice was too short to enable some OF
the managers to break engagements
with fair damsels to take in the
movies" and the attendance was not
sufficient to enable a real meeting to
be held
One thing, however. was decided on
Thursday evening. There is to be a
dOubleheader at Rio Grande park on
Sunday afternoon. The Puritys, cham
pions last year. and the Everybodys,
runnersup. will meet in one of the two
games while the Walz team will meet
either the Feldmans or one of the army
mines
The Puritys announce their lineup as
follows: Joe Calemia, c.; Juan Pedre-
gon and Red" Brennan. D.; Pete Dwyer,

day night but ii is known that he has
signed up a much stronger team than
represented the photograph concern last
year. He has called a practice for Sat
urday afternoon and il will be deter
mined then whether his men are in
shape to tackle seven innings OF real
baseball the following day.
The 23d infantry. which is now in
Camp Cotton. is reported to have a
strong baseball team, and if the Field
mans are not ready to play on Sunday
it is likely that the 23rd will be given
chance TO tackle the Walk nine II the
players are able TO get away from camp
for the afternoon.
There is some talk OF a police team

No. Neither have we.

Fitzsimmons says they are both too
slow.
Choynski doesn't give either one n
bit OF credit and breaks out in smoker

Maybe they're both too new. Maybe
the fighters of today are tougher than
the men of the olden days.
As a matter OF fact a new champ

CALIFORNIA sport writers are

zona." It appears that one of the
mining town "magnates" went out to
California and tried to grab off a
few of the Coast league stars but
when the managers didn't greet
aforesaid magnate with open arms,
he declared war on the Coast league
and threatened to take all the star
players. However, most of the stars
have objections to working in a mine
six days a week and playing base
ball on the seventh.
FANS can get an idea of the
strength of at least two of the

season by attending Sundays exhi-

that two other clubs will apply for
