youngster is fighting hard to land a

letter:

don't know what Mitchell has in his
mind for me He hasn't said word
regarding the future, so you see |
don't know what / am going to do.
Il am getting over a bum leg that
got in a fall a week ago. 1t hurt
me SO that | could not play for nearly
a week. got hit or two in all OF
the games | played in, but | don't
know what am doing up to the plate
the way Mitchell wants me to it. 1t
sure is some job have to use the
biggest bat in the bunch and hit down
on the ball instead of swinging up like
| used to do in semi-pro-baseball.
Fielding fine until | got that bum
leg and haven't had any fielding or
batting practice for nearly week.
This spring training stuff is sure a
difficult piece OF work We haven't
even time to write letters, All we do
is come in and then go right out again.
Il haven't lost a pound so far on
this trip and am not going to lose any
either. This man Wolfe is a good
player. He is hitting hard, | don't
know whether it Is over his head but
Mitchell likes him pretty good. But
in fielding played just as good a
game as he did.
Mitch said IL | could hit the way he
wants me to, had good chance to
stay in the major leagues But don't
know whether | can. Anyway I'm 60

JIMMY JOHNSON hoy BANDIT"
Fight Manager Dubbed Thus Because
OF Forfeit Grabbing Tactics.

jimmy Johnston IL dubbed the boy
bandit" because of his forfeit grabbing
tactics. but If a few more managers
would Join IN the game 1t would do
much to eliminate that undesirable
thing-thc agreement to make GER
tain weight. then coming into the ring
pounds over it.
Perhaps Johnston was little harsh
when he recently took $50 away from
frankie Whitney because he was three
pounds over the weight he agreed TO
make for Joe yelling Whitney had
made an honest effort to train. aud on
top OF that he got knocked out in the
fifth. which failed to move Jimmy's
stony heart any.
Johnston seized upon the forfeit post
cd for Battling Kopin. who was TO
fight yelling In jamestown. Pa. re.
Gently. Not only that. but he refused
to let yelling fight. In view of the
fact that Yelling had knocked koplih
unt once before when he weighed just
as much around l50-and that the
house was packed. 1t is hard to see just
what Johnston or yelling gained.
Packcy McI'nrland was another who
never overlooked any forfcits either,
And on top OF that he seldom made
The agreed ponndagc for any Of the
boys he met. Ills forfeits generally
were small. and he could afford to
give them up aud take what was COM

was not inc0nsiderable.
