last round and the fight. but Joe
Grimm can walk down the street with
his head in the air and none will dis
pute that he is the gamest boy who
ever stepped into a Phoenix ring.
Brown kaoes Douglas
Soldier Brown again demonstrated
that his is the class of the prelim-
mary boys In this manls town, drop
ping Douglas for the count with a
short right hook in the third round.
The roof might have dropped on
Douglas head and he would never
know II after Browns right crashed
with a thud that could not be mis-
taken.
Douglas took terrific beating and
up to the time he went down it looked
like Jimmy was going to take all
Brown had and live through IT..
Brown shot his left to the face and
crossed with his right and staggered
Jimmy. Then Douglas came back and
forced Brown into a corner, but
Browns terrific right backed him
away.
In the second round Douglas fought
himself to an even session and had
the better of the argument when they
stood toe to toe. Brown was too fast
with his left, however and anytime
1t got dangerous he jabbed himself in
the clear.
In the third round Douglas started
a rally and Brown met him with a
series OF rights that would disheart-
en- any man. The soldier kept Doug
las head Hopping like it was on
hinges, hooked a short right and
JinmV went TO SlepD.
The battle royal was a comedy
show that started good and ended
bad. Five dark skinned boys and Sam
entered the ring with sacks tied over
their heads. 1t was anybody's battle
in the dark and finally dwinded
down to Sam and Kid Slade. They
both come from the same family,
but Slade is black and Sam is yell
low. Sam pulled some comedy stuff
and raped Slade at close quarters.
Then Slade measured him off and
Sam took to the trees.
Johns Wins One
Wildcat Johns beat Young Aros
four rounds out Of four and had Aros
on the floor at the end of the bout.
Referee Tommy Dixon gave Johns
the fight which could not have been
otherwise.
Aros didn't know whether. to run
home or. cry after Johns hit him a
few times. Johns knows nothing about
boxing and Aros knows less than
that, but Johns is wiling and keeps
boring in. Aros rolled on the floor
and on the ropes and landed once in
while. He is new to the boxing
game and with proper training will
improve, but his trainer win under
take real contract.
The evenings show was a decided
change from last week and left the
fans feeling much better. The main
event was a disappointment in a
way, as the crowd would have been
better pleased it Adams started
earlier. He has knockout wallop in
both hands and is cool in the ring.
Cody's left is good but it goes oyer
too high to be effective. 1T failed to
damage Adams. while the few blows
that George was landing were doing
heavy damage.
Adams brought his left about six
inches into Cody's mid section and
the curtain went down right then,
Dick took the count Of seven and
came back only to run into another
in the same place and the sponge

Spring. 6huinin$Gossip
By Billy Evans

The battery men, the advance
guard of the baseball army that will
soon invade the south. have arrived
on the scene.
Pitching, as in years gone by, will
continue to play big part in the
winning of a pennant. Without good
pitching no team gets very far.
Major league club owners are well
aware of the fact. That is one rea-
son why a special effort is always
made to perfect the pitching to the
highest possible degree
Some idea of the value of pitching
can be CLEANED from the fact that two
major league clubs who are taking
40 men south each have 19 pitchers
in the collection.
While the ratio is not that great
with most of the teams, yet perusal'
Of the lineups of the various clubs
shows that about one third of the
players taken south in the spring are
pitchers.
The pitching problem is the hard
est task a manager faces each spring
At least a half dozen major league
leaders would rest much easier if
they felt their pitching staffs would
be able to carry the burden.
Lack of consistent pitching was
severe blow to the St. Louis Cardi-
nails last year. During the first
month of the race the Cardinals had
only two pitchers capable of going
the route. Rickeys team had trouble
winning ball game. That bad start
was fatal to the Cardinals pennant
chances.

DIAMOND DUST
NEW YoRKs BIG THREE

NEW YORK, Mar. 6.--Down at the
Yankee training camp in New Orle-
ans, today, Manager Miller Higgins
and his American League champions
of 1921 were all dressed up in their
snappiest scenery in anticipation of
the arrival of Babe Ruth, fence and
record smasher and basebalPs child
of fortune.
They had been apprised of the fact
that Babe, by the mere Tipping of a
paltry copper penny, had won for
himself a contract calling for a sal
airy of something around $50,000 a
year and a $500 bonus for every time
he bumped the horsehide for a round
trip of the sacks.
Huggins had only one worry left
Aaron Ward, and his salary COM
plants. Ward and Huggins have
failed to come to terms as Ward
wants $4,000 a year.
John McGraw still was giving at
tentfon to his youngsters at the San
Antonio training camp.
At Jacksonville in the Brooklyn
Superbas camp, Sherrod Smith was
busy developing his new pitching
delivery. Andy High, the New Brook
lyn infielder was reported to have
impressed Manager Robinson by his
work around third base.
Yesterday Zack Wheat, the Super
.bas' veteran outfielder, entered train
ing. Nap Rucker tried out his pitch
ing arm in practice with the rockies
and showed them that he still had
some of his old slow ball cunning.

There is a runner on first base.
On the pitch he starts TO steal sec
ond. The throw from the catcher
beats him. The second baseman,
who covered on the play, received
the ball six feet in advance of the
runner, who slid in feet first. The
second basennan touched the runner
with the ball. The force of the
touch, however, knocked the ball in
the air, causing the fielder to jusyIe
it three or four times, He finally
retained possession Of it before il
touched the ground. In the mean
time the runner who had tried for
second had reached the base and was
standing on the bag. Ia the runner
out?
Up until 1920 the runner would
have been called out on such play IL
the fielder finally retained possession
of the ball before 1t touched the
ground, just as a batter Is out on a
fly ball, no matter how much 1t is
juggled if finally held.
However, a change has been made
relative to base runners. In such a
case the moment the ball is juggled
it makes void the touch. If the run
ner reaches the bag before he can
again be touched he is safe. In the
play you cite the runner was safe.

will pull a comeback. If such is the
case there would be no great need
of Ward.
At st. Louis rather different con-
dition exists. McManus, figured on
to play second for the Browns, is an
inexperienced youngster. AT the
close Of last season he was showing
great Improvement. He should be a
much better ball player this year.
Second base was a big worry to Lee
Fohl last year. Perhaps McManus
will solve it. There is no question
but that Ward would.
New York is evidently worrying
about the loss of Meusel and Ruth.
The Yankee owners probably feel
that McNally could be shifted to sec
ond and fill the bill. The coming Of
Veach or Jacobson would solve the
outfield question.
1t looks as if the deal as proposed
has its advantages no matter how ii
is considered.

CINCINNATI, o., Mar. 6. - Pros
poets that Eddie Roush holdout cen

National League team shortly, ap-
peared brighter today when Roush
met the Reds train en- route to Texas
at Vincennes, Indiana, and had a
serious talk with Manager Moran,
according to special dispatch from
ST. Louis.
Roush was said to have implied he
was willing to eliminate the So called
Objectionable features Of his previous
demands. He said he had been mis-
understood on these points, and there
was simply question Of getting the
salary he desires.
'"The Cincinnati club must meet my
demands or will not play baseball

Cincinnati tonight. Roush would not
state just what figures he wants TO
sign up for but it is understood that
his demands are for a three year

The main event was slow. bu+
brought forth a kayo and that's what
the fans come out to see. George
Adams hit Dick Cody two times in
the fifth round and both times Dick
went down, the last time his seconds
tossed in the sponge to save a count
Adams lived up to his reputation
as a slow starter piodding after Cody
in methodical fashion, seemingly
content to end the affair when he
felt SO disposed. Cody was laboring
under the impression that Adams was
going to stop him and kept backing
away shooting in lefts as he moved
In the clinches he was helpless while
Adams raped him on the body. The
body punches told on Dick in the
third round.
Dick played his left to Adams face
continually. but went into a clinch
when George started swinging.
Adams showed enough to warrant the
advance reports that he has class.
Several times he got rough and tossed
Cody away, one time dropping dick to
the canvas.
The main event could not be
classed as a crowd pleaser as Adams
starts late and by the time he got
ready to battle Cody was ready to
quit. Matched with a slugging type
of battler Adams should show class.
He likes to take 'em on the chin and
works his gloves easy. He is cool
to suit the fans. Adams could have
opened in the first round and ended
the show as he proved the first time
he landed. He hardly hit Cody a
half dozen times UP to the fifth
round and let Dick walk away with
each round. But when he did hit the
show ended.
Joe Grimm Well Named
When Joe Grimm was given his
ring monicker he was given one that
fits him like one piece bathing suit.
Joe stood up with Routh- house Olea
for four rounds in q bout that would
make the soviet flag look pure white.
Joe lost three quarts of gore, much
skin on his nose and the fight. but
he won the admiration of the fans
and had the crowd on the seats pull
ing for him when the bout ended.
Joe made the mistake of trying to
box Olea when he should have
slugged with him. Olea is too old in
the game to take a boxing lesson
from Joe, but Joe can give any fighter
in the world a post graduate course
in gameness. Olea punched Grimm
fro none side of the ring to the other.

back hand swings and took the first

angle and had the rough house batt-
Ter hanging on. The fans went wild
and cried for Joe to finish him. but

Aaron Ward, second baseman of
the New York Americans, is hold
out.
The New York club says that it
has offered him a contract for $500,
and he asks $4,000.
From New York also comes the
report that Ward may be traded to
either Detroit or st. Louis.
Rumor has it that Bobby veach
will come to the Yankees If Ward is
sent to Detroit, while Jacobson will
be sent on from st. Louis in case
Ward goes to the Browns.
1t is possible that both reports are
mere rumors, and that in the end
Ward will sign New York contract.
There is no denying that Ward
would prove a most valuable man to
either the Tigers or the Browns. 1t
is lust possible that If st. louis Sc

club into a pennant winner.

The pitching problem again con-
fronts Kid Gleason of Chicago. He
has two great stars in Faber and
Kerr, but those two men cannot do
all the work. That was proved last
year.
Lack OF consistent pitching kept
the Cleveland team from repeating in
the American league last year. What
can Speaker expect from Bagby, Nor
ton, Uhle and Mails? Only Coveles-
kie stands out as a certainty.
Pitching is certain to be CLYDE
Milan's biggest worry. II Washing
ton is able to develop a dependable
staff, the Nationals are certain to be
dangerous.
The Chicago Cubs suffered last
year from pitching. Alexander seemed
to be off his game, and Jim Vaughan
was lost through suspension.

league pennant the Pittsburg staff
faltered with the rest of the team.
The New York Giants won the pen
