 "rhe White sox will be 100 per cent stronger this year than ever before" asserted a Chicago fan.
 How soT'
 Because Kid Gleason Is the team leader" was the comeback. Hes one of the smarest baseball men that ever lived. Unfortunately, he has never had a chance to display his managerial abil- ity in an unhampered way. In all other years with the White Sox he has been a lieutenant and has had to work under the orders of manager. But now that his chance has come Gleason certainly can be counted upon to perform mir aces
 Clarence Rowland has been given much credit for having led the Sox a worlds series triumph over the Giants in 1917. But 1t was the nimble brain of Gleason that worked havoc with the chances of the New Workers. On vari- ous occasions during that series Glea- son almost had 8 clash with Rowland in his efforts to have his ideas carried out during the game. Fortunately for the White Sox, Gleason triumphed in his arguments-and the Sox pounded their way through to victory.
 The fifth game of the big series will never be forgotten by those who wit messed it in Chicago and to Gleason's strategy belongs the real credit for the Chicagoans' success. The teams went into the struggle with the series tied al two games each. Harry Sallee, on the firing line for the Giants, was breeding along nicely until the seventh. He was toying with the slusgers from the Illinois metropolis, and it looked like cineh victory for the National leaguers
 Just as all hope of victory was dis appearing from the breasts of the White Sox rooters, Gleason rushed to Rowland and said:
 Get the boys to hammer the first pitch. Sallee is putting the first ball in the groove every time. Tell the boys to smash the first pitch and keep on smashing it.
 Rowland didn't favor the idea. be- cause he didn't know the eccentricities of Sailee as did Gleason. But a man. ager in a hole usually is glad to accept any suggestions, and Rowland, all though reluctantly. issued instructions at the beginning, of the seventh that the SoX batters should hit the first ball pitched.
 Eddie Collins, first man up, flied out on the first pitch. Then Jackson sin gled Immediately afterward Felsch singled on the first ball and Gandil fol- lowed with a two-bagger on another first offering of Sallee. Weaver banged the first ball for an infield out, ad- vancing Gandil to third. Sallee devel- oped a little streak of wildness and couldn't get them over for Schalk. who was given base on balls. Under the frantic signalling of Gleason who knew that Sallee was ballooning, Schalk started on a steal to second Rariden's throw was a pit poor and 1t got away from HerzoE. whereupon Gandi1 reached home with the run that put the Sox in the lead.
 In the eighth t was the same thing John Collins, the first batter, banged

BOXING TEAM WILL
 TOUR SCANDINAVIA
Trio of Mitt Artists to Leave Gotham for Long Jaunt Around the
 Sphere
By Asseeiatst Prsss

New York, March 13.-A team of Ameri- can amateur boxers will tour Scandinavia during the coming spring, taking part i, several international boxing tourna- ments which are being planned for Nor way and Sweden. This was decided upon at a meeting of the amateur athletic union held here today.
 The invitation to compete in these tour naments abroad was extended by the Idraetsforeningen Sparta of Copenhagen and the communication requested that n1iddleweight lightweight. featherweight or bantam be sent. It was decided to send the winners of the 1i5, 135 and 15s- pound classes at the national amateur boxing championships to be held at Bos- ton on April and S.
 The trio of boxers in charge of train CT and probably a team manager will sail from this country before the middle of April and the tour and contests are expected to extend over period of sev- eral n,onths. A similar trip was made in 1916 when the American amateurs made an excellent showing.

 the first ball for a single. After Me- MuIlin sacrificed on the first pitch. Ed die Collins singled and then Jackson singled on the first pitch. Sallee was derricked and Perritt was substituted, But too late The strategy of Gleason had won a game for the White Sox which seemed hopelessly lost
 'It was the goat getting tactics of Gleason that was largely responsible for the final victory of the Sox and brought about one of the funniest plays in baseball history. Gleason. who knew the weakness of Heiuie Zimmerman, the Giant third sacker. played upon It. Standing on third base coaching lines, Gleason kidded Zimmerman unmerci- . fully. Before many innings had passed Heinie was up in the air, He showed the effects of Gleason's riding in the fourth by making a wild heave of Ed- die Collins grounder. When Robertson muffed a fly by Jackson, Collins went to third. And then came one of the most peculiar plays in baseball his tory.
 "Feisch hit grounder to Benton, who saw that Collins was off third, whereupon he threw the ball to Him- merman. Heinie, instead of attempting to trap Collins between third and home. elected to run a footrace with one or the fleetest men in the American league. The kidding of Gleason undoubtedly inspired him. The kid had been jeering Heinie all along about slowing up, and Zimmerman wanted to show up Gleason by outfooting Collins. Instead of ac- complaining his purpose, Zimmerman, lumhering after the speedy Collins chased Eddie across the plate with the first run of the game, which led to 9 rally that gave the SoX enough runs to win the game and the series

BOXING FLOURISHES

Boxing is flourishing in Paris at pres ent and the Knights of Columbus and the Y. NJ. c. A. are holding weekly shows in which American boxers meet British and French. The superiority of the Americans, which might be ex- pected. if not over the English and the coloniais, at least over the French to whom boxing is comparatively new sport, is not in evidence.
 The American boxers are drawn from the army for the most part and gener- ally are overweight and lack training and underestimate their opponents, The result has been that the American showing has caused some criticisms. The French boxers as rule train faithful ly, keep in good condition and give a good account of themselves.
 At a boxing show Tuesday night a captain of the 319th American infantry expressed fear that the French oppo- nents chosen for his two boys would not be able to stand up and provide a good fight. His fears were ground less. Michaud of Paris, with a stiff leg, caused by three machine gun bul- lets gave Harold Fitzpatrick of Mead vile, Pa, as good as he received. Trick CT, the other Frenchman, earned a de- cision by large margin over Charles Morgan of pittsburg. Both Americans were fat and shortwinded.
 FThe Americans should train on red wine" was the comment of Al Badoud, French welterweight, well known In the United States.

PARIS BIDS STRONG
 FOR TITLE MATCH
Dempsey-Willard Fight May Be Outside of the United
 States
LoCAL=aY WIRE
By AssoeIatsd Press

Paris, March 13-Sporting circles here are keenly aroused over reports tha, the Dempsey Willard fight may be staged in Paris. Promoters have watched with great interest the diff culties encountered by Tex" Rickard in America in getting a place for the bout, and in the prospect that the bout may not be held in the United States. Offers will be made to Rickard soon if they have not already reached him.
 The promoters here argue that Paris, with its big floating American and British population at present. would be a better place than either Juarez or Havana, if the bout goes outside America.
 - Higher prices could be obtained for seats than before the war. It is fig ured seats that sold for $50 for the Johnson Moran bout would bring s100 now.
 \ high army official informed the
 Associated Press today that the
 Dempsey-WiIlard fight would not
 be held in the United states, add
 ing;
 ..There K one man who can stop
 the fight in America"
 The officer refused to diVulge the
 name of the man. but said Willard
 was not very popular fin the army
 owing to his attitude during the
 war and his refusal to give his
 services to the Red Cross and the
 various soldier benefits.
