EVANS AFTER
RYAN-CLEMENS
Bonnie Miller Speaks for New
ark Youngster Who Defeated
Buddy Jackson.

Johnny Evans through his mana
ger. Bonnie Miller, now is picking on
Willie Ryan and Kid Clemens. Some-
what chesty over the victory of his
protege at the expense of Buddy
Jackson Monday night, Bonnie wants
to map out an extensive campaign.
In this he is somewhat different from
most managers who usually accept
one victory as sufficient argument for
a battle with the champion.
So speaks Bonnie:
"A word to let you know that ! am
managing Johnny Evans, who Mon
day night gave Buddy jackson a good
laoing. Evans is considered the best
~146-pound nan in New Jersey and
claims the welterweight champion
ship of this state. In his last five
fights he has defeated the best boys
the promoters could cur to- meet
him. They are Terry Martin, K. o.
Rely, Steve Cole, Joe Malone and
Buddy jackson.
Evans is willing to meet Young
Clemens and Willie Ryan so that
there will be no dispute about the
state welter title. Joe McNulty, he
promoter of the Lotos Club. who has
been giving the fans a good run for
their money every week, Is willing to
stage this fight rs he thinks this will
be the best fight of the season. It's
up 70 ttyan ana 70 come-ouI
of their nest and sign up to meet the
best boy In Jersey.-Bennie Miller"
Miller Is flying somewhat high in
his statements. Martin decisively
outpointed Evans in their bout at
Troxler's in Newark. Also Evans
fought a draw with Malone In this
city, and did not defeat him as Miller
claims. The sporting editor has no
recollection of his Cole and Rely
fights but If their victories were of
the same calibre as the Malone and
Martin decisions, Miller's eyesight
must be somewhat befuddled. At
that Evans is a good boy. He has
youth and ambition in his favor, and
he Is learning fast. This Is evidenced
by his victory over so skillful a fighter
rs jackson. Evans made his debut
as a professional finalist at the Lotos
In this city when he met Malone. :

BURNS AND GROH
SPRING SURPRISE
Both Come Through for Posi-
tons Near the Top In
Batting Races.

Two new names have slipped into
the leading batters Of the two leagues
this season, George Burns in second
place in the American. and Heine
Groh in the runner-up position in the
National.
Groh's name has often been in the
800 lists, but this is the first time
the diminutive one has risen so high
In the ranks. Burns case Is even
more peculiar as he was traded by
Hughie Jennings last year because he
was unable to hit.
i The names at the top Of the list
are not surprises. It has been con-
sidered quite q drop in late years for
Ty Cobb not to occupy the highest
position In the American league and
Zach Wheat ts not a newcomer by
any mean in the premier position in
the National.
As one of the leading batters,
Groh occupies q unique position. He
Is the only man in either league who
deviates from the usual style of not
standing with his body parallel with
the plate. Groh stands at the plate
with his body toward the pitcher.
Other batters face the pitchers by
turning their heads almost at right
angles to their bodies.
II Groh should happen TO beat out
Wheat for the National league lead
ership 1t will be the third TIME n as
many years that Cincinnati has fur
Inished the league leader, Chase In
1915. and Roush In 1917.
