OTTO, THE BOY WONDER
WHO WINS BALL GAMES AND
FIGHTS THE SAME DAY

COLON, Panama, March 30.-There's
an Ohio boy here today who's raising
the devil with pugs and pitchers. He
just doesn't seem to have the slightest
regard for curves or straight iabs. He's
Otto Yacknow, fist and willow wielder
extraordinary from Cleveland.
Time is valuable, so Otto uses it in
tensively. It's nothing for him to win
a baseball game and a fight within
eight hours.
For example Otto won the game that
clinched the zone championship and
then turned to that evening and knock
ed out a boxer in the fourth round
all between noon and bedtime
Otto also has the zone lightweight
championship nesting about his waist.
And Otto does it all in such rom
antic way.
Scheduled to fight the night of
Washingtons birthday, Otto went out
to the ball-yard in his niftest street
clothes as an ordinary fan. although the
Colon team, for which he plays on the
infeld, was up against its stiffest riT-
ais, the soldier team, the Coast Defense
boys.
When the ninth inning arrived the
soldiers were ahead, to 3. Pitcher
Mendez was in the hole to bat for
Colon 1t was hastily decided Otto
must bat for him. Mendez and Otto
quickly swapped clothes right in the
park Otto went to the bat with one Oh
base He beat out an infleld tap by a
great sprint He and another runner
then put over a double steal, An in
field hit allowed the first runner to
score, tying it. The catcher had bare
ly let go the ball when Otto made a
lightning run and a great slide for the
plate winning the game, while the
crowd went wild.
That night Otto knocked his man out
as related.
Let the truth be told. 1t has leaked
out, but with no discredit to Otto, that
lie made his debut at Cleveland on the
Streetsweepers' nine. He says he is
going back to the states to take on a
few lightweights,
