halt the bout. II boxing Is to continue

continue to halt the bouts when one OF

TO continue would be brutal.
The six-round bout tetween Bobby
Bridges and Sidney Click was a thriller.
and Click surprised the fans by earning
a decision on points. He finished the
stronger and had Bridges little haSy'
Bridges did not show his usual clever
ness and sought TO trade punches with
Click with the result that he did not get
along any too well. Sidney was In
clined TO wrap his left arm around Bob
by's neck too frequently, but that was
his only fault. 1t was a great fight.
The Bepley brothers, two juniors, put
on an interesting three-round exhibition
Jack Dillon, former light heavyweight
champion, referred the Click Bridges
bout and Clark oniciated IN the two ten
round bouts. Dillon acted as one OF Nc
Mahon's handlers IN the main go. Jack
was given a great ovation when he en-
tered the ring. Chuck Virgins was In

Bout Thrills.

Patsy Mcmahon, boxing pride Of the
south side, made his temperance in an
Indianapolis ring last night and proved
his right to GOMEZ back claims by winning
on points over Tommy Phillips of Nc
and was the main go on the Veteran Of
Foreign Wars fsticuff show staged at
Tomlinson Hall. Patsy was the aggres-
SCR and forced the milling, Phillips be-
Ing content to take things too easy until
the eighth round. In that session the
Eastern lad opened up and threatened to
spring q surprise, but he was not strong
enough to put the fighting Irish boy on
the run. The lightweights had quite q
bit of steam behind their punches and
each boy wore bad eye at the finish.
Mcmahon did not seem quite as clever
as he used to be, but he displayed better
punching ability. Patsy had not fought
for some time and his followers were :
ished that he will get along all right If
he sticks to hard training. The fans like
to see him box, for when he's in the ring
he keeps things moving.
In the other ten-round go Of the eve
ming jimmy Dalton put Joe Thomas OF
Columbus down three times In the
fourth round, the bell saving the Ohio
boy on the third knockdown. The box
ing commission stepped in at this point
and ordered Referee Clark to stop the

Light Heavies to Clash in De-
cisi0n Bout at Fort
Thursday.

Jack Moran Of ST. Louis VS.. Chuck
Virgins Of Indianapolis, fifteen rounds
to decision, is the next fistic entertain
ment scheduled for Indianapolis fans.
The long bout will be staged at Ft.
Benjamin Harrison Thursday night and
will be the main go Of the weekly caro-
given by Captain Coulter athletic officer
at the local Army post. Moran is a big
fellow who has met nearly all the prom
inents of the ring. His record is not SO
brilliant, but he keeps fighting and is
rated a tough battler. He came down
from Chicago last night and is working
out at the Plaza rocf.
Virgins has been getting IN good trim
for the scrap and apparently has re-
covered from the abscess on his head that
bothered him in his last fights. He is
rated a good card in the distance bouts
and fans are anxious to see him tangle
Thursday. The bout is scheduled for
fifteen three minute rounds and a de-
ctSiOn will be given by the referee. It is
permissible to give decisions at the fort,
the State law not operating on that reser-
walton.
Three bouts with well -known boys par
ttcipating have been carded to make the
evening a big one. In the semi wind-up
Kid Winters and Joe Dillon will mix in

Roy Busch and Roy Boyard will trade
punches for four rounds. The opening
scrap Is scheduled to get under way-at

st. Louis Cardinals concerning April 10

fore Saturday. Varsity track tryouts
will begin Thursday. Spring football
practice opened Tuesday afternoon.
If the rain holds off, the Tigers will be
in good fighting trim by Friday, 1t is
predicted. Coach Walker expects to use
the same lineup against the Indians
that he put in the field against Indiana
University at Bloomington recently. This
follows; Davis, catcher; Bills, pitcher ;
Lauer, first base; Pruitt, second base;
DarrelI, third base; Captain Jordan,
shortstop; Clarke, left field Krumheuer,

play because Of a sprained knee.
There is little doubt now but that the
st. Louis National League baseball club
win play an exhibition here April 10. II

The city is alive with ball players and
all that was needed this afternoon was
some sunshine and the fans We're to get
the first glimpse Of the 1922 Indians and
the squad that Pat MOr,t has under his
wing for the Cincinnati National League
entry this season. The exhibition with
the big leaguers was carded to get under
way at 5 o'clock.
The entire Cincy squad IS here, regu-
lars and rockies. Two games constitute
the Indian-Red spring series, the sec
ond conflict being scheduled for tomorrow.
Pat Moran said he was pretty well salts
fed with the Cincy prospects with the
exception of the pitching staff, the same
trouble the Indians seem to be facing at
this date. OF course the Reds miss Ed
die Roush, famous annual h9ldOut but
the Red camp still hopes the HoOsier
boy will come into the fold.
Manager Hendricks piloted his Indians
back into the city Monday afternoon and
the athletes Immediately scattered to get
places to camp. The boys were glad to
get up from the South and were eySa
more glad when they unloaded at the
Union Station and felt the sunshine.

NO DOUBT ABOUT BABE RUTH
AS GREATEST DRAWING CARD,
BUT is HE GREATEST PLAYER?

greatest manager in the game and one
of the smartest baseball men Of all
time.
Branch Hickey said he wouldn't give up
his Rogers for a couple Of Ruths. Uncle
Wilbert Robinson, also credited with
knowing a few things about baseball
says he would rather have Rogers on his
Brooklyn team.
Other straddle the issue and facetiously
remark that they would like to have them
both.
Ruth has one big booster In little
Miller Higgins, his manager. The pilot
Of the American League champions not
only gives 1t as his personal opinion that
the BAN" is the greatest player of them
all, but he quoted figures from his rec
ord book.
Ruth scored 1T runs himself last year.
and he drove in 40 more. Enough to.
win quite a few ball games, Higgins
contends. Ruth got 204 hits for an av-
erage Of 1878 and he stole seventeen
bases.
Hornsby hit 1897 with 2s5 safeties. He
stole thirteen bases and scored 131 runs
Not so bad, his hackers say.

However. there have been signs of a de-
cay that may be permanent.
AT third base the venerable Baker has
placed both feet upon a very thin dime
and absolutely declines to believe it for
a. moment; Aaron Ward, at second, has
shown marked inability to range to
his left and even the work Of Everett
Scott. a fine shortstop, has been affected
largely because of Bakers lack of speed
has thrown a ponderous burden upon the
ex-Bostonian. No champion ever re-
peated with such an inheld as the
Yankees now muster.
Higgins Is as patient as a Father
Coneessor and might even start the season
with Baker on third with the idea Of Civ
ing the. veteran plenty Of rope. If a
switch is made, Ward will be brought
over to third, where he belongs, and
Mike McNally sent to second base
AS for the others, the pitchers aren't
pitching and thu hitters are not hitting
And, according to lest adyices, you can't
convince. them tina 1t isn't all a ludi-
crous mistake.

Ry HENRY FARRELL.

NEW YORK. April 4.-Most any man
ager on the 'big time" would give half
his team and the grandstand for Babe
Ruth, but they don't all agree that he is
the greatest player in the game.
If Rogers Hornsby and the swat king
were both in the American League there
would be some excitement over awarding
that thousand dollar prize that Ban John
son has put up for the most valuable
player.
When it comes to packing them in the
parks and laying the foundation for divi-
dends there is no doubt that Ruth is not
only the greatest today, but the greatest
ever.
When 1t is a matter Of real value to a
team, Of real all-round service, some of
the wisest baseball minds differ.
IF 1 wanted a colorful player who
could draw them in every day at the
gate, ] would take Ruth. If 1 had to
choose a real bah player to make team
l would select Rogers Hornsby as the
greatest player in baseball" John Nc
Graw of the New York Giants said.
McGraw is generally regarded as the
