Jackson Looms
AS Menace For
Benny's Crown

With a new lightweight cham
pion 1t isn't a bad idea to look
over the lads who have even re-
mote chance to win his title.
OF course Benny Leonard will
meet a bunch of lightweights Of
more or less ability before he will
risk his title against anyone who
has a real chance to beat him,
that's the reason the Kilbans
match for July fell through.
But looking over the present
day lightweights there's mighty
few of them that Benny needs to
have any trepidation about. He
has whipped most of the best ones
and, excepting Kilbane, who 10
really not a lightweight, there IL
only one fighter we can call to
mind whom Benny might have
trouble with-Willie Jackson.
Most critics reserved judgment
on Jackson when he put Johnny
Dundee to sleep, on the lucky
punch theory, but when he
knocked out Chick Simler, job
Leonard and several others did
not measure up to, Jackson began
to loom up as q possibility.
Leonard probably realizes that
Jackson is far. more dangerous
than many others of greater repu-
tations.

II wasn't so much the fact that
Nick Williams boys beat our Tig-
ers yesterday that gave Tacoma
fans surprise.
But no one could understand
how such a splendid club as the
Indians should remain founder
ing about the league cellar for
seven straight weeks without any
apparent hope Of getting out OF
the mud.
The game hadn't gone three In
nings before several hundred
"regulars" In the grandstand and
bleachers awoke to realization
that those Indians had just as
good a team as any that has ap-
peared on Athletic field this year.
Spokane's infield is Just as fast
as anyone could ask for. Stumpf
ct second and McGinnis on short
form team at the keystone sack
that handles anything not directly
into the hands Of the first and
third basemen. Zamlock knows
first base like book. And Pre-
ciado, a dark-skinned youngster
from Southern California, plays
third like a flash of lightning
His pegs to first are cannon-ball
shots. Marshall, the catcher, can
rank with any Of the league back
stops when it comes to heady
baseball, and accurate throws to
second. The Spokane outfield
garnered four of the teams hits
yesterday, and disported itself in
nice fashion.
Regardless of previous discour-
aging reports about the Indians
they proved yesterday that they
are up and coming. Williams has
either made some successful
changes in his lineup recently, OF
the club has taken new heart.
Webb outpitched Harry Gardner
yesterday, keeping the Tiger hits
scattered safely. The Indians did
most of their scoring in the third
when they punched two singles, a
double and a triple, getting four
tallies across before the last man
was out.
The wrath of the fans over his
rotten decisions have at last got
the goat of Umpire Eckman. He
has found "other employment
according to telegram received
from him by President Blewet
late Monday afternoon. EckmaI
has jumped his job. In bad al
round with the fans, they got un'
der, his hide. Eckman umpired
the series with Seattle last week
and finished up his rotten exhibi.
tion by throwing Russ Hall out OF
. game Sunday. He was scheduled
to go to Butte to open the series
with Vancouver, but evidently de-
cided to make a strategic re-
treat instead.
The Tiger team was again fur
ther .cripples yesterday, when Carl
Stevens, the star catcher, burst a
blood vessel in his leg while try
ing to steal second in the second
inning. 1t is SO unusual for Steve
to try to steal base that his over
worked artery simply couldn't
stand the strain. AS result OF
