He muffed it and Grcb gets it all.
Johnny Dundee is less fortunate. All

so many with the lightweight champion
that it w0uldn7t t be worth big purse.
In winning the decision from White,
Dundee got nothing more than n good

3 TITLE HOLDERS
ARE GENUINE
CHAMPS
Bv HENRY L. FARRELL

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, April 3.-Taking a
champion to mean the best man in his
class, three of the present fight title
holders are real champions.
Some may say that Jack Dempsey
ism 4 the champion that Sullivan and
,Jcffries were; lots of them do main
tain that Benny Leonard cannot be
compared to Joe Cans; others think
Jack Britton is merely lucky. But the
figures show them to be the best men
in their class and that makes them
real champions.
Dempsey is alone in his class. Harry
Wills has been boosted as the one
logical contender. Wills can hit hard,
but he can I hit fast and that let's him
out. The others in the heavyweight
class drop ont under the scrutiny. Some
haven I the weight, others the inclina-
tion.
Leonard is head and shoulders over
everyone in the lightweight division ex-
cept Rocky Kansas. The sturdy little
Buffalo boy has stood the champion off
twice, but he never can beat him. All
i'm favor of Kansas are a steel barrel
around the waist, an iron jaw and the
chance of getting over q wild wallop.

SEALS DECLARED
BEST HITTERS
IN LEAGUE
Bv TOM LAIRD


SAN FRANCISCO, April 3.-Any
team that can hit and will hustle; that
goes into every game fighting and
doesn I quit bearing down until the last
man has been retired-is going to make
trouble and it may win the pennant.
San Francisco s Seals are going to
his this season. superb fielding and
superb pitching, forming an ideal de-
fense combination, if there is such a
combinat ion in the league, cannot check
the assault, Manager Jack Miller VIII
launch when the season opens.
Perhaps not as strong as they were IN
1927, the Seals certainly appear SUI
ficientlv well balanced to make de-
termined bid for the go next rail-.
They re going to miss Jimmy Caveney,
their biggest asset last year and they
also will miss Lefty o 'Doul and Johnny
Coucl, their keenest pitchers.
But where they will be weakened at
shortstop and on the rubber, they Will
be stronger in the Outfield and also at
second base. Charley See is streak
of white and a 800 hitter without any
doubt and Pete Kilduff will stand out
like a lighthouse among second sackers.
Three of the four or five pitchers
Miller will work regularly are new
comers, Bob Geary, Fred Coumbe and
Ernie Altcn. Whether their combined
efforts will atone for the loss of O'Doui
and Couch remains to be seen. jim
Scott and either All Gillenwater or
Herbie McQuaid will also take their reg
ular turn. The uncertainties are OllVer
Mitchell and Daka Davis, last year IN
tho Upstern lpaTup 4s
Bert Ellison, who will attempt to fill
Cavency's shoes, is looking better at
shortstop every game. However, "our
Seals" will not have their stOnewall on
the left side of the diamond without
Caveney.
No matter how famously any of the
newcomers get on, Jack Miller VIII
stand out as the Seals best acquisition
Of the season. Miller is everything
"national leaguers have said about
him. and then some. And Jack can
pastime as we'll as manage. He may
not play regularly but he certainly will
do his stuff when he does play.
No team is any stronger than its see
ond line of defense. A crippled regular,
a mediocre utility man and-well tough
going until the regular returns to the
lineup. But in "Dee' Walsh and what
ever outfielder Miller plays on the
bench, the Seals will have dependable
substitutes.
Perhaps Miller will need pitchers be-
fore the season ends; maybe Ellison
ism t there as shOrtstop.
Rut "our Seals look as good right
now as six of the other seven clubs in
the league-in fact they look far bet
ter than at least two clubs not men,
tioning any names; and the only aggre-
CATION seemingly better on paper is
managed by Killefer.

ANGELS STARTING
SEASON WITH
GOOD TEAM
By MATT GALLAGHER

Baseball Editor Los Angeles Herald }
LOS ANGELES, April Los An
seles, the stake horse of the Pacific
Coast circuit, starts the 1922 season
with the strongest team Manager Wade
Killefer ever had in the spring.
This year he has a better hitting
club than the one with which he won
the pennant last season.
And he also has faster ball club.
He feels that the loss of Arnold
Statz to the Cubs has been overcome
bv the addition of "Babe' Twombley
and John l.. Sullivan.
His only doubtful point is the pitch
ing staff Vie Aldridge, who won 20
games and lost 10 for Los Angeles last
season, is member of the. Cubs. Art
Reinhart, who tucked away - victories
and lost only five games, was recalled
by the st. Louis Cardinals.
Elmer Ponderer, right handed twirl-
er turned over to Los Angeles by the
Chicago National League club, and
Herb Hall, former Kansas City Amer
lean Association pitcher, have been
added to the pitching corps.
In practice, Ponderer and Hall have
been showing up well.
The other right handlers are Ote
Cran,lall, who has averaged nearly %
victories a season for years in the
coast circuit; George Lyons, Tom
Hughes, Bob Wallace, Dick Donelly
and Bob Robertson.
The left handlers are Claude Thomas,
Nick Dumovich, Arnold Crandall,
Frank Soria and Kenneth Douglas.
In Tom DAILY, Mckinley d. Wheat,
Earl Baldwin and Tony Rego it is
claimed Los Angeles has the best
catching staff in the minor leagues.
Several other clubs in the coast circuit
have made offers to Manager Killefer
for a catcher. He intends to carry
three catchers mis- season.
Art Griggs, one of the hardest hitters
in the coast league will play first; Billy
McCabe will be at second base and
Jim McAuley at short. Howard Me-
Cabe will be at second base and Jim
McAuley at short. Howard Lindimer
will open the season at third base.
Charley Deal, leading third baseman of
the National League last season, be-
longs to Los Angeles but he refuses to
report. 1t is believed he will change
his mind. In that ease he will be ex-
pected to handle third base.
Babe TwOmbley who amassed a
batting average of 377 in the National
League last year. John l.. Sullivan
who hit .322 for the Cubs and Dixie
Carroll who led the coast leagures in
three base clOuts last season, will
Handle the outfield duties.

ought to be a pleasure to the eve and
Ross Young in right field and Irish
Meusel in left are brilliant performers.
The team will hit hard as Bancroft is
the only one of the regulars who is
doubtful of 300 average. The catch
ing department is in the good hands of
Frank Snyder AMI Earl Smith, both hard
hitters, good throwers and smart hand
lers Of pitchers.
The hurling staff is built around four
veterans-Toney, Douglas, Nehf and
Barnes. Toney and Douglas, if they
are in form, are great pitchers and they
gave evidence in the spring games of
being in fine shape. Art Nehf is one
of the best southpaws in the game and
Jess Barnes is good when he is right.
Three young pitchers-Pat Shea, Bill
Ryan and Virgil Barnes, are expected
to arrive this year and if they do it
ought to be easy for the Giants.
All in all it looks like the Giants
ought TO win.

Leonard respects him too much to be
caught off his guard by Il chance shot
Lew Tender has been generally re-
garded as the most dangerous man in
the class, but many believe that the
Phiadelphia boy is afraid of the cham
,ion. AS the title holder, Tender
would open himself to q half-milion
or moro dollars, but he wants $4,000
to take the chance. That shows little
confidence in his ability.
Left Hook Charley White would he Il
dangerous man for Leopard if he had
any kind of n brain When he let the
passe Johnny Dundee outthnk him,
out flight him and outevervthing him, as
he did recently, he passed out of the

n prospect and Benny may set out to

Britton has only inexperienced
Youngsters to whip since Ted Lewis
went over to collect u the stray titles
IN Europe. Britton is too smart for all
the young fellows. There are Dave
Shade, Mickey Walker and some other
promising boys, but they aren t ready
to take the champion yet.
Bermondsey Billy Wells, "one of the
best welterweights in England, is
over here chasing BrittOn now, but he
ism t getting very far. After the show
ing made by most of the British ring
importations in the last year, Britton
is justified in asking him TO prove how
good he is with some second string
man.
