INDIANS MUST COP
3 STRAIGHT GAMES

CBy Associated Press)


NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Defeated in
the opening game of the little worlds
series" the Cleveland Americans now
face the task of taking three straight
from New York in order to wrest
first place from the Yankees.
Today's battle is an important one
A victory for the Yankees would mean
that even if they lost four of their
final eight games. the Indians would
have TO win all their six in order to
finish first A victory today for the
Indians would bring about a virtual
tie. with New York leading by less
than two points.
Hoyt's splendid pitching against the
Indians yesterday increased the con-
fdence of the New York followers as
he will be available again in the final
game Monday. The young twirler
struck out seven men and was steady
except in the fourth inning when two
runs were scored. In the first inning,
he famed Jameson, Wood and Smith
Babe Ruth, whose two three base hits
figured prominently in the victory,

The difference between truly great
and a mediocre person OF the prize
ring seems to be in body punching.
The warriors who climbed to the
heights and became immortals were
those who devoted years to perfecting
the body rip-and then used it; the
men who have been forgotten are
those who never learned to smash for
the human torso.
It's human nature = instruction
men to strike at the others face. The
boy mingling in his first battle in the
school-yard or on the street, swings
the clenched fist at his foes face.
Every man unframed in ring warfare
does the same thing; swings for the
head and never drives for the body,
Must Conquer Tendency
The average youngster, training to
become a ring gladiator is head
swinger Many, despite all the drill
ing of the most competent tutors,
never can learn the trick of driving
for the stomach. And those men
never arrive anyway in the fst1c
arenas.
For just as it is natural to strike
at the others face, so it is natural
for the other man to defend his face.
If you whirl a punch at any man,
no matter whether it is driving toward
his head or his body, he'll instructive
ly shoot up to guard his face, so as
to protect his eyes and his features.
Body Punch Always Wins
Therefore the man who executes the
''criss cross" by driving for the body
is usually the man who will win a

the body is easiest to hit, there being
no protection-and a blow to the right
spot in the body will do as much dam

When men become professional
fighters, they are trained, of course,
to hit for the other fellows body, and
protect their own. But in the heat OF

who can remember All the others,
acting under the impulse of instinct,
smash and battle away at the other
mans head-and forget all about pro-

Only the natural born fighter can at
all times, remember the terrible havoc
body punching creates, and centers his
vicious attack against the body.
Jack Dempsey is one of these; John
L. Sullivan, Bob Fitzsimmons, jim

Ketchel, Joe Cans, Joe Walcott, Joe
Choynski, and Jack MeAuliffe were
others.
Dempsey Battles an Example.
Every important triumph of Demp-

nammering the body of his foe. He

ARBOR FOOTBALL
PROSPECT EXCELLENT;
BACkFIELD IS BEST
CBy Associated Press)


ANN ARBOR, Mich, Sept. 24.-The
University of Michigan has the best
football material in years and its
prospects for a winning team are
bright, in the opinion of Fielding H.
Yost, director of athletics at the uni
versity, and for many years mentor
of the Maize and Blue gridiron squads.
Michigan's strength this year will
be in the backfield, Yost believes. He
has number of men of proved abil-
ity for these positions. Steketee, Ush-
er, Paper, Kipke, Roby, Fairbalrn,
Dean, Dunphy, Banks, Uteditz and
Knobe are the more widely known
players in this group. Landowski OF
Milwaukee also is looked upon as
promising material in the department.
Veterans Come Back
Two veterans of 1920, Frank Cappon
and Paul Goebel, will return for the
end positions. experimenting them
will be Bernie Kirk, picked for the
All-American when a member of the
Notre Dame eleven of 1919, and Nc
Wood, who comes from Detroit
Northern
The tackling department will be the
weakest part of the team at the start
of the training season, according to
present indications. This is because
tackles of attested worth are lacking
but Yost is hopeful that from the mum
Der of promising players on his list
he will be able to develop first-class
material. Ted Weiman, one of Michi
gan's tackling stars last year, is a
member of the coaching staff this
season.
Among the tackles who show prom
Use are Stan Muirhead, Leroy Neisch
Crawford, Johns and Rowland.
Ernie Wick, center for the past three
seasons, may be switched to a tackle
position.
AS guards Yost has Captain Dunno
Hugh Wilson, Swan, Kreinheder, Pet
70, Planck and Gunther
If Wick is taken from the pivot posi-
ton the place is likely to fall either
TO Johns, Kreinheder or Smith.
