TOMMY SAYS WILLS

United Press Leased Wire

NEW. YORK, April 21.--Tommy
Burns, former heavy weight champion,
is now using his right to write power
full pieces for the London papers.
Tommy's s opinions are largely printed
and generally respected when he talks
about ring things, Burns says:
"The only fighter who has good
chance to win the title from Jack
Dempsey under protect yourself at all
times rules is Harry Wills, the Ameri-
can colored fighter. Probably no box
er knows Wills as well as ] DO, as
referred two contests for him, one
against San Langford and one against
Jim johnson. Wills won both fairly
easily.
OWLS is as big as Jim johnson and
a better natural fighter than he every
was, but not as good in defense. Wills
is another Peter Jackson.
Carpenter would have a good
chance with Dempsey in another fight
in a clean breaking contest, but if
Dempsey were allowed to hit in the
clinches as in their previous fight, it
would be good night Georges in Il
few rounds.
Tommy thinks he has something left
himself as he suggests that he bo given
another chance at Beckett if the
Frenchman will not meet the British

LESSONS IN BASEBALL
: The Waggle
by the International syndicate

Players will wagg,e, that is move th
bat to and fro, Wine waiting delivery
of the ball. Many players jerk the bat
to and fro, shake 1T at the pitcher, vio-
lently, nervously. Other players hold
the bat on the shoulder while waiting
the pitch. Still others waggle it to and
fro; at the level of the belt.
The quick nervous shaking of the bat
at the pitcher betokens a nervous bat
ter and often one afraid. SO it is a bad
sign even if Larry Doyle, a real good
hitter shook the bat nervously as he
abided the pitch. The good hitters,
as a rule, waggle the bat slowly to and
fro at the belt, never permitting it to
90 far ahead of the line of the forward
foot. The cool, courageous hitters al
ways use a slow, easy, confident wagge
The best authorities favor the line OF
the belt as the best place for the wag
gle When the bat is carried slowly to
and fro at the belt the batter is in
position to hit any sort of a ball, high
low or in the middle, that may come

salong. If the bat is held on the shoulder
and waggled high the pitcher may sip
a fast ban ober at the knee. 1t the bat
is waggIed too low, a high fast one
may beat the bat swing.
1he batter should never let the
waggle carry him too far towards the
pitcher. The batter who shakes the bat
IN front of him will have to rush back
for his swing if the pitcher shoots one
at him. That will throw him off bal
ance and the swing out Of time, un-
settle the eye and make mess OF
things generally.
Speaker has an almost perfect wag'
gle. He moves the bat slowly to and
fro at the line Of the belt, keeps the
bat well behind him and is always

well worthy of the observation Of young
