DUFFY LEWIS
/. ACCEPTS lob
Veteran 0utfielder Sends Presi-
dent Griffith Word Of
-. His Plans.
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

George duffy" Lewis has noti-
fled President Griffith that he has
accepted the salary offered him TO
perform in the Griffmen's garden
this season. and will leave California
February %, for Hot Springs. Ark,
to Mt himself for a great campaign.
Two other Griffmen have entered
the fold, their signed contracts ar
irving at headquarters and being
placed at once in the office
safe. The papers came from IIav-
ana, and are signed respectively by
Jose .Acosta, the half pint pitcher,
and Ricardo Torres, the catcher
firstsacker.
II expect Lewis to report at Tampa
: In shape TO play at his best" says
President Griffith. Duffy has been
through II all many times, and is GER
tain to fit himself for a wonderful
year. II he is ready when the season
opens. and / know he will be, we
won't have to worry much about the
outneld"
Oliver d. Tucker, a rookie out
fielder. has signed his contract for a
trial in the big show. Tucker is a
mere boy. but a husky one. He played
on an industrial team in Virginia last
year, and Griff took a peek at him
one day at the ball yard. The peek
brought the kid a contract. He hit
for something like .425 last season,
and Grin says he's worth trying out
at Tampa.

II Is not every man in the world
who knows billiards or how to play
the game, but Peterson. In his talks
throughout this country, has simpli-
fed the art for many who are am
bilious to become proficient. The
number of what might be called
experts" can be counted on the
fingers of either hand, but whether
dub" or wizard" or mere humble
follower OF the game, everybody
knows OF Willie Hoppe, who I'm tire
billiard sphere is champion OF 'em
ALL"
Hoppe has held the worlds title
for seventeen years, and for tho first
time in many months his first for
midable opponent appears in the
person of Edouard Horsmans, VINO
is now touring the East in exhibit
tion matches.
Young Jake Schaefer. George
Slosson, Welcher Cochran, Calvin
Demarest, Albert Cutler. and half
score of others have loomed upGn
the horizon In as many years as
possible successors to the crown
worn by Hoppe. Iut in mis- turn,
each has been thwarted by the
nerveless, composed defense which
Hoppe invariably presents when he
NETS his opponents.
While there is nothing naughty in
the demeanor of Hoppe while bend
ing over the green table, ne has
come to take his superiority as 4
matter of course and none has been
able to shake him from that un-
beatable pinnacle.
FOCUSES ATTENTION HERE.
Hopes appearance in Washington
during the week before Horemans
plays here focuses attention to their
proposed championship match. At
this time. therefore, something of
the personality of the present mon
arch should be of interest to the
of minds which are weigh
ing the merits of these two billiard
lists.
Hoppe neither smokes, drinks or
otherwise dissipates, is church men,
Der in good standing, never misses a
Sunday morning service no matter
what town or hamlet he may be per-
forming in. His clean personal ha-
bits have stood him in good stead
throughout his championship career

III J|TSU IS ONLY
CHANCE FOR DWARF
Nat PendIeton. Former Champ,
Says Let Jap Style
Remain.

Nat Pcndleton, former amateur
champion wrestler, has the following
remarks to make on the relative
merits or wrestling as practiccd by
recent champions and the well known
japanese art OF self-dcfcnsc:
Il see that Jack Curley has sum-
moncd the clan from far and near to
"A wrestling convention iE Kansas
city. II appears to me that the first
matter of Importance to be decided
by this gathering Is nothing more or
less than the object of the game,
"Wncn a a.Nrcstlcr steps on the mat
today he isAonfrontcd with a problem
that can be solved in two ways. He
must either win by fan or force his
opponent 10 resign. This latter pro-
cedurc is purely and simply the aim
OF jiu-jitsu. As matter of fact,
catCh-aS-catCh-Ca wrestling as prac-
ticed by the modern champions COM
priscS every hold known to jiu-jitsu
with the exception Of three specific
groups: first. the various StranElc
holds; second. those holds that in
Nolvc the garments. and lastly, those
holds that arc executed while the
aEgrcssor is reclining upon his back.
METHOD GREATLY ONERR<TED.
II personally believe that jiu. jItsu
has been very greatly ovcrratcd. 1t
works wonderfully on an individual
who knows nothing OF sclf-defensc,
but fails dismally when practiccd
upon wrestler of even mediocre
ability, provided tho wrestler is not
forced to don a kimouo and thus eN-
pose himself to that group Of holds
which involves the garments and Of
which he naturally knows little or
nothing at all
some Japanese cNponcnts of the
art once attempted to introduce it at
the United states Naval Academy.
The officials agreed to add iu-jitsu
to the curriculum of our future ad-
mirals provided the gentlemen from
Tokyo could prove its worth.
FORCED TO GIVE UT.
"The foreign professor was stacked
up against member Of the Academy
wrestling team of corresponding
weight and was forced to quit in
short order by tho effective applica-
tiou Of a double Nelson and BODY
scissors combination. Tho fancy stuff
didn't work. You sec, tho midShip-
man did not stand still long enough,
and besides. he saw him coming.
"The wrestling. congress must de-
eide whether modern matches are to
be won by a fall and nothing but a
fall, or If jiu-iitsu-which comprises
the dangerous holds---is still to he en-
ploycd to make your opponent resign.
For my part, ! say let tho jiu-jitsu
remain. It constitutes little mans
chance against a big man. especially
if that big man has a thick neCk-or
head"

STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH.
Some declare that he picks too mar
row path to be human, and he
laughs away the inference. However.
he is just such a young man as we
describe and the fact is one of the
potent reasons why he is today cham
pion "broomsticl' wielder of the
world.
Many years ago his kindly old
father who travelled with the boy dur
ing his tender years. whispered to
him that the straight and narrow
path was the correct one, and he has
never allowed any temptation to
swearve him from that course.
For twenty-five years he has been
playing before tho public. For sew
enteen yeare he has been champion
at balklines and instead of showing
signs of slipping, he is growing more
supreme. He is real king of his
branch of sports and prince per-

Ty Cobb plans to get himself
in solid with the players from
the start. He couldn't have
pleased the players more than
when he announced that there
would be no morning practice
at the Tiger training camp. He
advises a late breakfast and
practice at 2 o'clock.
This does away with the dia-
bolical habit OF making ball
players get up in the morning.
Ty says IL does the players no
good TO exercise after eating an
early breakfast.
IL Cobb imagines that he can
cut players meals down to two
per day by this scheme he has

There are about as many two
meals-a-day ball players as
there are 500 hitters.
