craftsmanship to have Harvard rep
resented in the regatta by an eight

ef recent graduates. and that the en-
try OF such a crew would tend to

Should Harvard decide to defend the

Of the New York Giants, has returned
from the middle west, with his annual
Job of signing his players only half
completed He acquired mild case Of
grip and decided that home was the
best place in which to nurse himself
back to health.
He would not commit himself on the
question of Hal Chase, acquitted last
week of the charge preferred against
him by the Cincinnati club. playing
first base for the Giants. but he made
this rather significant remark: 1T Is
impossible to deal with the Cincinnati
club concerning the release of Chase
until he has Withdrawn his suit
against the Reds for back salary.
This indicated that Chase will sign
with the Giants after his case has
been settled "out of court"
In all probability McGraw has au-
thority from August Hermann. presi-
dent of the Cincinnati club. to suggest
some form of settlement with Chase.
No doubt the club is willing to pay the
back salary now that the charges have
fallen fiat, but is anxious to avoid a

case in the civil courts.

LEONARD TO BOX R|TCH|E
Lightweight Champion Agrees to
Twenty-Round Bout at
Tia Juafla.

NEW YORK, February IL. - Benny
Leonard, the world lightweight cham
pion. soon will engage in his first '.mar-
athon" bout since he became the title
holder nearly two years ago.
Willie Ritchie, the former lightweight
ponent. Billy Gibson announced this by
wire from San Francisco, but refrained
from stating anything else about the
contest than that it would be of twenty
rounds duration and would surely draw
$40. coo.
Coffroth, the impresario of San Fran
cisco, may handle the bout, for Gibson
says in his wire: "Conroth worked on
Ritchie for two weeks and only on Sat-
urday night at Sacramento persuaded
Willie to agree to terms, which / might
say will be catchweights.'
That very sentence leads to the be-
lief that Coffroth is planning the pro-
noting of boxing bouts at the scene of
his race track at Tia Juana, which place
from time to time has been spoken of as
possible fight center.
There is no place, other than some
center very close to San Francisco.
where bout between Ritchie and Leon
ard would draw $50. 200. Willie has been
out of the game too long to be taken
very seriously as an opponent for Leon
ard. He is well into the welterweight
ranks now, or he never would have
agreed to terms for a battle at CATCH
weights, for 1t is believed he would pre-
fer the chance to win back his title
rather than take a mere share of any
purse.

BASE BALL ON THE INSIDE
BY BILLY EVANS.

A fairly good idea of a ball players
worth as man can be gained from the
attitude of his teammates and the
players of opposing teams toward him
There is a saying that no successful
man in any line can attain great pres
tige without making some enemies.
That is perhaps true in the general run
of cases, but there are exceptions, and
base ball, in Walter Johnson offers one.
Walter Johnson is admittedly one Of
the greatest pitchers in the history of
the game, star of the first magnitude.
AS a rule there are some who begrudge
success, but l feel safe in saying not a
player in the American League has any
such feeling toward Walter Johnson. 1t
is easy for the star in base ball to make
enemies. the pitcher in particular, be-
accomplishing things which tend to
make him stand out. Against the OPP
posing team he is usually pulling
stunts that belittle the ability of the
opposition, and often bring about de-
feat. Naturally, such things would
seem to create an i'll feeling among the
players so affected.
Walter Johnson stands out as q
shining example that it is possible for
pay ca " Uc d star anu IctdiIt Tie
good feeling of not only his own team
mates, but opposing players as well.
He stands out as one player who has
not allowed marked success to turn his
head or change his ways. He does
things on the ball field as he did them
twelve years ago when he broke into
the American League. He does his
work with as little effort as possible,
never poses to the gallery. gets on and
off the field as if he would prefer that
his identity remain unknown.
L have known great pitchers who were
temperamental. They took all the
| credit for a victory, and sought all pos
sible excuses for defeat. They could
always offer an alibi at the expense of
some one else. l have known great
pitchers who have practically insisted
| they work on the big days. II pitching
| for team that played Sunday ball at
home they always desired to perform
that day. have known pitchers who
| were peeved when asked to work out OF
| turn. Ball players are keen to learn a
| players peculiarities, if he has any, and
| they never fail to remind him of them.
Walter Johnson has always struck me
as being without a flaw as to
disposition, habits and temperament.
Evening star., 1919-02-11

He is always willing to give the
credit for a win to some one else.
He never complains, no matter
how many errors his teammates make
He never seeks the limelight, and is
willing to pitch any time ii seems his
pitching will help his club No wonder
Walter Johnson is one of the most pop
ular players in the history of the game,
not only with the public but with his
fellow players.
I know American League umpires
regard Johnson in the same light as
the public and the players l Will
always remember a little incident in
game between Philadelphia and
washington several years ago. when
both clubs had a chance for the PEN
nant- Washington had been the SEN
Sation of the American League that
year. The game was played at Wash
tngton. Later in the game with two
out. a runner on third, and the score
a tie. a Philadelphia player hit a tam
talizing grounder to Chick Gandil,
playing first for Washington. making
1t necessary for Johnson to cover the
bag. Gandil and Johnson both made
beautiful plays on the ball. and would
have registered an out had not John
son overstrided bit and missed first
base a few inches. It was evident
Johnson had beaten the runner to the
base, and there was loud wall from
the Washington players when I ruled
the man safe, and what proved to be
the winning run crossed the plate. 1t
was rather embarrassing situation
for me. My decision was correct, yet
1T looked like poor one. Some stars
would have been content to have used
me as the afbi for their mistake, but
not Johnson. Almost before the play
ers had gotten under way with their
protest, johnson, as he walked past
them on his way back to the box,
broke up the sQuabble by remarking,
'.Ride me, not Evans l didn't touch
first base" It was an incident. char
acteristic of the Washington star.
With his terrific speed, it would
have been easy for johnson TO make
himself even more effective by using
the bean BALI every now and
then, simply to intimidate the batters
and keep them from hugging the
plate too closely to get ahold of the
fast one. Such tactics would have

of his fast ones means disaster. /
