LEARN TO CATCH IF YOU'D STAY IN
 BASEBALL GAME

Youngsters who want to stay in the game after their baseball legs give out should go to catching.
 It seems from figures that the wise old backstopS have the best chance of remaining in the game at big mon ey after their field days are over.
 Onc-half of the major league man. agcrs are old catchers and practically everyone of them have teams up in the races in both leagues. Old time catchers in fact have become SO sue ccssful in handling teams that club owners are seeking them for open berths
 The National League leads with six managers who have served behind the bat. Pat Moran, manager of the Reds, has two pennants and worlds championship to his credit, Branch Hickey had the runner-up last year and the prospective dark horse of 1922. George Gibson failed to win a pennant in his first year out, when his team collapsed i'll the stretch with the pennant almost cinchcd. Fred Mitch- ell made success of the Braves and put the National League on the map in Boston. Bill Killifer star catcher Of the Cubs, is the only playing man. ager among the receivers, He start ed in mid-season last year after John ny Evers resigned and he did as well with the club as could be expected. Uncle Wilbert Robinson Is another good example of the success achieved by former catchers. Brooklyn swears by him and he is one of the most popular and most able managers in the game.
 Only two teams in the American League can trace their career back to the mask and big glove days. Con- nie Mack, veteran manager of the Athletics, Is the dean of them all The lean leader of the Philadelphia Americans used to be the king of them all but he has been in the slumps for six years. Lee Fohl, who has built up pennant contender for the St. Louis Browns is the only other former catcher handling a club in Ban TOhnSOn'S Circuit

LOOK FOR RETURN OF REAL OLD TIME
 PITCHING STYLES
Ban on Use of Resin and Emery Bound to Revive Old
 Hurling.

Return to the pitching standards of the old days is predicted in the major leagues next season.
 Skill of the big hurling stars de- creased noticeably due to legislation against the use of foreign substances on the ball and the lively ball that brought about such vogue of hard hitting last season.
 When the rule makers of the game legislated against the use of resin and emery they more than took away an ally from the pitcher because 1t in creased the morale of batters who went to the plate more confidently and consequently met with more success.
 It is admitted by high officials of the game that the ball was lively last season, but not through any pre- arranged plan. It is said that the ball was constructed along the standard specifications but that the better quail ity of wool and rubber available since the war added to the life of the sphere.
 Use of curve balls is looked upon as the curb for unusually hard hitting Success of the Giant pitchers against the Tanks in the worlds series was attributed to Johnny Evers, one of the snartest men connected with the game, to the skillful use of curve balls.
 John Heydler, president of the Ma tional League, has the same theory about the success of his league in the fall classic.
 Heydler maintains that conclusive proof was given that control of a good curve ball with a change of pace makes a pitcher just as effective against heavy hitters as the former addicts of the shine ball, the emery ball and those few remaining of the spitball gentry
 Pitching is bound to improve be- cause minor league managers are et- couraging young pitchers to use curve balls," Heydler said. t.When the spit ball was in vogue and when the freak deliveries were permitted, youngsters tried to acquire those arts in prefer ence to the old orthodox methods of hurling. Now they are coming back to curves.
 "The pitching in the major leagues was bad last year, but one thing that impressed me was the number of promising curve ball pitchers that came up. With such material being developed, I feel sure that in time the game will have pitching of the old standard when six or seven hits was considered rather loose game"

 Paddock also specifically declared he would not run for the University of Southern California this spring. Authorities there have said they ex- pected him to run

CRADDOCK TO FACE
 ZBYSZKO ON MAT
Match for Wrestling Title at Madi-
 son Square on Monday Next.

Stanislaus Zbyszko, veteran Polish wrestler, will defend his heavyweight championship against Earl Caddock, Iowa Grappler, in title match at Madison Square Garden on Feb. G. This match was closed Saturday when Zbyszko's manager, Jack Herman, wired Promoter Billy Wellman, ac- cepting the latter's terms for the mat struggle.
 The championship match will fea- ture an extensive wrestling card. Other matches already closed will bring together Ed (Strangler) Lewis, former champion, and Renato Gar dini, claimant of the Italian heavy weight championship; and Nat Pen dleton, former international amateur champion and Wladek Zbyszko, brother of the champion. Another match is being planned.
 The card will provide competition between a champion and two former titleholders. Craddock was hailed as heavyweight champion three years ago when he defeated Joe Stecher, Nebraska grappler. The Iowan lost the title to Lewis, who, in turn, was dethroned by Zbyszko.
 The ruels governing wrestling un- der the State Athletic Commission give Craddock greater chance against the ponderous Zbyszko. With rolling and flying falls allowed, in addition to pin falls, the agile, clever Iowan is better equipped to cope with the strength and weight of the cham pion. Craddock is master of variety of holds and is regarded as one of the fastest wrestlers in the country Zbyszko depends almost entirely up on his strength and endurance to vanquish rivals.

Perhaps the most popular champion the prize ring has ever known was Young Corbett, who captured the lightweight crown from Terry Mo Govern.
 Corbett was a handsome little fel- low who made money fast in the hal cyon days of his career and spent it as fast as he made 1t.
 eled in style, going from London, Paris and other places in Europe, just to see things and have a good time. Not long ago he told of his experi- ences abroad
 The Denver boxer stopped at the Hotel Cecil in London.
 A couple of days after his arrival Young Corbett, entering the cafe, in vited all those in the room to join him in a drink, as is the custom in this country.
 In the place at the time, were six men, and five of them accepted the pugilist's invitation.
 The other refused, and much to Corbett's chagrin, bought a drink for himself after the fighters order had been served.
 Without showing any signs of be- ing disturbed, although he said he felt the slight keenly enough, Corbett ap preached the individual, who proved to be a much prejudiced Englishman, and said:
 My dear fellow, how is it that you would not drink with me after l in vited you? Yet you were apparently thirsty, for I see you bought one for yourself and drank it. Do you know that in my country, America, such proceeding is a gross insult?"
 The Englishman looked at Corbett in a contemptuous way, and after hesitating for a moment, replied: '1 do not know what 1t Is in America, nor do 1 care, but l do know that in England 1t is an insult to ask strang- CTS to join in drink in a public bar
 
 if there is any apology coming, you are the person to offer it."
 On another occasion, Corbett, after buying a drink in London tipped his hat to the barmaid who served him. This was observed by an English man, who quickly called him to task. What do you mean by tipping your hat to that woman in my pres ence?" he demanded sharply Corbett, taken aback by the ques- ton, inquired whether the woman was his wife or whether he had offended her. The Englishman grew red in the face and his manner betokened anger, "No, mo-" he shouted, "she isn't my wife, thank God. She's simply a hire ling, and when you tip your hat to her in my presence you insult me. We don't tip our hats to help in this country. "It may be etiquette in America,

REAL RING BATTLES
 ARE FURNISHED BY THE LITTLE FELLOWS
English People Give Young Corbett Some Lessons in Etiquette on
 One of His Visits Across.

The recent fight between Pal Moore and Johnny Buff at Milwaukee for the bantamweight championship of the world proves that fights between the little fellows are just as interest ing and worth while as fights between the bigger fellows. What the fight fans want is action every lick of the way. Moore and Buff gave 1t to them. The fans are tired of seeing two big fellows lugging and hanging on to each other. They want to see real boxing and fighting and not a tugging and wrestling match.
 Nearly all the little fellows, since the long ago, have been popular and gave satisfaction in all their fights. There were never any battles better worth seeing than those between Tommy White and George Dixon, Battling Nelson and Jimmy Britt, Terry McGovern and Dave Sullivan and the fight between Benny Leon ard and Jack Britton and Pal Moore and Johnny Buff in recent years.
 None of those battles were walk overs They were real battles from start to finish.

SOME INSIDE DOPE ON WHAT HAPPENS
 IN FOOTBALL FALL
When Two Warriors Go Down Head
 On Do They Apologize?

When two speeding figures crash into each other on the gridiron, go down with a.rocking thud and come up glaring at each other the stands often Wonder-"What are they say ing to each other?'
 Through the same desire to get fin side stuff' that is denied those on the outside, theatre fans always listen with the greatest interest to what movie actors say to keep their lips moving when they have no lines.
 Because they are the only ones close to play, officials at the big games are the little private audiences for the interesting bits of byplay on the gridiron and on the diamond
 Several interesting stories are told by officials of happenings during the big football games last fall.
 Stand Neck, captain of the Prince ton football team and All-American tackle of 1920 was out in the middle west last summer and someone told him he would have job when he faced Charley Mcclure, star tackle of the Chicago team.
 According to the story, Neck said: He may be a star out here, but he wouldn't last five minutes in the east"
 No one who knows Neck believes he ever made such statement, but 1t is told nevertheless and it adds great
 4I.a II. meeting between Keck and McGuire in the Chicago game
 Neck and Mcclure were playing opposite each other. To every ones surprise, Quarterback Ronney shot the first of Chicago's assaults at Neck and the play went through. Several more gains were made through the Princeton star. Neck finally was taken far out on particularly hard smash and when they lined up again, McGuire said to him:
 "You'd better get on your toes and play ball or the coach'H send Neck in.'
 Another has to do with the Yale Harvard game. Buell. got away for his sensational 6o-yard run and was thrown by O'Hearn with terrific force on Yale's I5-yard line. The umpire rushed to the prostrate pair and leaned over Buell. with:
 Are you hurt? How do you fell?"
 Buell. looked up and with what lit tie breath was left, replied: , 'I'm not hurt, just d. disappoint- ed"
 Ralph Gilroy, Princeton's brilliant defensive back and captain-elect of the 1922 eleven, has the reputation of being one of the toughest players in the game. In every hard tackle, un der every line smash, he always comes up.
 The midshipmen from Annapolis play hard football. In the Princeton Navy game Gilroy charged into one of the middy backs, brought him down and came up with a pretty sinner under his eye.
 The referee gave the eye the once over and yelled-"Time out, Prince ton."
 Gilroy moving back to his position, { retorted:
 "Time out, hell! This is your party! Let's go."
