BARRY NOT SURE He
HAS CHAMPION nine
Jack Has Inherited World Title-holders
But Is Not Sure of His Grounds.

New York, Feb l-Jack Barry, con-
graduated for inheriting a made-to-order
pennant winner, is not so sure OF It, 1t
team needs new blood-that the old men
are so much in the majority that the Red
Sox are likely to break any day, and be-
Ing ambitious, Jack doesn't want that to
happen under his regime. Therefore he
Is willing to consider deals for fresh ma
terial and he will give great attention to
such young blood as he has-men like
Shorten for instance.
Particularly does Manager Barry want
q new outfleld. and a couple of years ago
It was considered the wonder of the
world. The Red Sox outfield doesn't hit
like Barry thinks an outfield should; It
Isn't as fast on the paths as 1t might be;
with all the opportunities for making as
sists that a broad playing field gave 1t,
the percentage OF retiring base runners
was low.
The hint is that both Duffy Lewis and
Tilly Walker would be swapped II good
deals could be made. Two clubs already
in the American League have tried
Walker. Who Is willing to try Lewis in
exchange for a hustling, hard-hitting
young out1elder not so obsessed with
coin that he has lost ambition?
Barry spills dope. Outside his pitching
staff his team has passed its prime and
only good pitching pulled It through last
season. Hooper. Gardner, Lewis, Hob
litzel and Barry himself, who plans to
continue at second. all have been in the
If they don't soon begin to slow down they
will enjoy a longer baseball life than the
big percentage of players.
Next season will be Harry Hooper's
eighth with the Red Sox, he having
joined them from Sacramento in the
spring of 1900. 1t was at the same time
that Gardner Joined the team after
having been farmed out to Lynn. Gardner
had been saven trial by Boston in 1908
and was sent along to Lynn to finish the
season. Duffy Lewis was secured by the
Red Sox from the Oakland Club at the
close of the 1909 season and has been
playing with them since the spring of
1910 Dick Hoblitzel made his big league
debut at Cincinnati after starring for
Wheeling In the Central League, and he
has been in the big show since 1909. He
was sold to Boston in the middle of the
1914 season.
Jack Barry was taken on by the
Athletics in the spring of 1908 and starred
with them at short until the middle OF
the 1915 season. when he was sold to
Boston. Barry stepped In to play second
base for the Red Sox after several years
at short, and has played as brilliant a
game at the middle sack as he ever
played at short.
Whether or not any OF these veteran
Red Sox players will show up next sea-
son remains to be seen. It will be more
than remarkable II some Of them don't.
At any rate, the problem Of preparing
for the time that approaches when they
,r-t1I hoxF 60 hA anil NaI 49,,

duties. No one doubts that Barry, one
of the brainiest men in the business, will
be equal to his new work.

MISKE'S ADVANCE IS
TEMPORARILY CHECKED
Youngster Was Making Rapid STRIDES
to Top of Ladder When Injured.

New York, Feb. u.-Billy Miske's raplc
advance in the realm OF hghtdom mas
received temporary check as a result
of an injured hand which will prevent him
from lighting until about the middle OF
next month, and that at time when
plenty OF matches were in the offing.
Miske's consistent showing around
New York. particularly the two battles
with Jack Dillon, in which he was popu-
larly accorded the victories, have done
much to establish him as one Of the
good drawing cards of the game. Miske
has not been picking any lemons as his
opponents. either. There are few better
men than Mona Dillon, Levinsky, Gun
boat Smith and Weinert. all of whom he
has trimmed. 1t Is doubtful II Miske
would have much of a show with Fred
Fulton and he is not looking for fight
outside of his class.
Miske himself blames rheumatism for
the fact that his showing until recently
was not such as to attract much atten-
ton. He had the disease in his hips and
attacks would seize him at the most in
opportune times. Suddenly the attacks
ceased and Miske began to find himself.
So from a fighter who was paid only
SEQ for his first bout in New York he has
developed into one who gets around 5000
when he steps into the ring.
ls o. hehSSA "
blame a laugh for the fact that he did
not knock out an opponent, and he ad-
mits he did not discover It until he got
to runinating over things in his dress
Ing room after the scrap.
II was in his second fight with Bat
Ting Levinsky. 1t was the ninth round,
and Miske had the battler in a bad way,
and realized II when they clinched and
he found Levinsky weak and holding
en-.
The gong rang for the tenth. Miske
tore across the ring and Levinsky clench-
ed. Suddenly the latter began 10 laugh
and he was still chortlIng when they
broke and Miske bored in again.
When he dropped his hands because
he was laughing so hard he had me guess
ing" said Miske. 'I thought perhaps
something was wrong with what little
clothes l had on. I thought / was the
goat because the spectators were laugh
ing, too. First Thing l knew I was gig
CLING and laughing, too. I didn't want
anyone else to think there was joke
going around and 1 was too slow to see
It. So I let Bat laugh his way through
that round and then the fight was over.
Then Bat laughed on the square and
knew he had made a boob OF me. But
Eever again. The next guy that laughs
when he is in a ring with me is going
TO find ms doing my best to smear that
laugh all over his face"
