As a result Of the talk Loadnar
says he will prove that he is anv-

Tor the pair weighing in at 10 poundr

IN the center Of the ring so that the
spectators will see the boys 90 the

show his exact poundage. Ioadn,z,,

OF hearing that he is a big boy. anc

WAR CAUSES
FEW CHANGES
Major League Clubs to Use
Old Stamping Grounds
for Training.

The war will have no effect on
big league training camps with the ex-
ception that some Of the teams will
curtail the time spent in the South.
Only two changes will be made in
locations Of training camps according
to word which has come from mana
gers so far. The Cubs will not 60
to the Coast this year and for patriotic
reasons. the Reds will train at Mont
gomery. where a large number OF
Ohio troops are in camp.
Charley Comiskey was forced to
abandon his project of training in
Panama this year on account Of the
war, but expects to take ding at
the Canal Zone after the war.
Comiskey was enthusiastic over the
Panama project last year. He figured
he would have midsummer weather
during the entire period of training
and that his men would become accli-
mated to playing in the States by q
long series of exhibition games in the
South before going to Chicago.
The present difficulties of sea travel
the shortage Of ships and the close
guarding of the Canal Zone caused
him to change ihs plans.
Texas as usual will entertain most
OF the big league teams this spring.
the Giants at Marlin, the Cardinals
at San Antonio, Tigers at Waxahaehie,
Browns at Palestine and White Sox at
Mineral Wells. Three teams will train
in Florida, the Braves at Miami, Phil
lies at st. Petersburg and Athletics
at Jacksonville. Georgia will also
draw three teams. the Pirates at Co.
lumhus. Yankees at Macon and Ma
tionals at Augusta. Two teams, the
Red Sox and the Dodgers will train
at Hot Springs. two in Louisiana,
the Indians at New Orleans and the
Cubs at Shreveport and one. the Reds,
at Montgomery Ala.
The only changes from the last
years trips are that the Cubs have
changed from Pasadena to Shreveport
and the Reds from Shreveport to
Montgomery.

and the event promises to become a
yearly fixture of considerable import
ance.
Mai. ]. S. Brown and Frank Bell
officiated as judges and awarded the
first to Parker Whitmore's pointer

The winner was handled by Frank
Butler and the decision was based
chiefly on superiority in bird work.

PILOTS
IS THE SECRET
Boxer S Success Due to His
Handling in Early
DAYS.

A boxers ability to make big money
and become famous doesn't rest en-
tirely on his own ability. Proper
management by a man big enough to
see the value of the proper kind Of
publicity has had a great deal to do
with the success Of many boxers.
The boxer himself, of course. must
be pretty good or the best Of man
ayers cannot pull him across, but un-
less a boxer Is head and shoulders
above the field in his division he may
be left at the post as a money-get-
ter unless his wares are properly dis
played.
Jess willard Is a striking example
Willard had wandered around the
country foryears boxing now and then
for whatever he could get, usually
without money and sometimes with
out anything to eat As Jack johnson
began to fade Tom Jones saw the
possibility Of Willard being able to
win the world championship. He took
him in tow. began a campaign of pub
licity which put the big Kansan be-
fore the public and financed him until
the fight at Havana which made him
champion of the world.
Freddie Welsh never made much
money in the ring until he hooked up
with Harry Pollock and when Welsh
lost the lightweight title he retired
with a fortune.
The carefully planned campaigns Of
Jimmy Dunn made a fortune for
Johnny Kilbane.
Dan Morgan had unusual sue
cess with Knockout Brown, a
mediocre dPhter who cleaned nm
a modest fortune in two years.
Under poor management Brown
probably would never have been
heard of.
The defeat Of Freddie Welsh by
Benny Leonard for the light
weight title and Leonard's phe-
nomenal success since then were
the results of a long and tedious
campaign carried on by Billy Glib
son, who saw the possibilities of
the boy and nursed him along for
several years before starting him
out for the title.
Now and then a boxer gets
along by managing himself. After
he had won considerable fame Bat
Nelson managed himself success
fully. Willie Ritchie and his
brother looked after his ring af-
fairs.
The case of the late Les Darcy
is an example OF what can happen
to great boxer not properly man
aged. Had Darcy come to Amer
lea with a good manager, it is
likely he would not have expert
enced the difficulties he encoun-
tered here.

Arrangements were completed
yesterday by Manager Grinth. OF

game with the Atlanta Crackers"
of the Southern League, on Mon
day, April the eighth. The game
will be for the beneft of the Sam
mics stationed at Camp Gordon,
and win be played at Ponce De
Leon Park. at Atlanta
The arranging of this contest has
been standing FIRE for the past few
days, as it was necessary for the
Old Fox and Manager Frank. Of
the Crackers" to obtain the ap-
proxal of the Army Athletic Au-
thorities. at Camp Gordon. The
athletic directors at the Dixie
camp are overenthusiastic over the
prospects OF witnessing the Ma
ttonais In action against the Crack
ers'' especially with Walter John
son on the heaving hill.

the bat and ball fund, has been do

tional pastime worth seeing.
Grifith believes in helping the
soldiers in every way possible, and
the arranging of this game is to
furnish a means of raising some
funds for the continuance of the
athletic activities at Camp Cor
don.
1t is proposed to declare half
holiday in Atlanta for the game
and to sell tickets in advance, and
il is believed that with this course,
that a crowd of about 5000 fans
should attend the game.
The feature attraction will be

of the Nationals. who will twirl at
least part OF the game, for the Grirf-
men, 1t will be the first and may
be the last chance for Atlanta fans
. and the soldier fans at Camp Cor
don to see the famous twirler in
action.
One more signed contract was
added to the Nationals list yester-
day when the Old Fox received
Capt. George McBride's papers. The
"daddy of the old guard" stated in
letter to Manager Griffith that he
was well satisfied with the terms
offered and expects to be in great
shape at reporting time.
Although Capt. Mac played in but
few games last season. he sure
proved his value to the Nationals.
