'PANCHO VILLA
NEWFLYWEIeHT
CHAMP OF U. S,
Filipino Boxer Puts Johnny Bun
Out in Eleventh Round ut
Brooklyn.
By FAIR PLAY.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, Sept. 15.-It looks to-
day as though it would be up to
Jimmy Wilde of England, the
worlds champion flyweight, to stop
the yellow peril of pugilism. The
reference is to Pancho Villa, who
on Thursday night over in the
Brooklyn ball park, gave all the
proof in the world that he is some
thing more than the ordinary.
When Dewey crashed through the
Nipa grass and tin can defenses of
Manila Bay in 1898 all they thought
of in the Philippines in the way of
battling was to sneak up behind
you with a bollora barong and stick
your head of. Villa was not even
in this world. What changes a few
years make. Probably every adult
male Filipino sat at the end of a
table and did not leave/until he
heard that their young fellow is
lander had made the f1yweight
champion Of the United States OF
America look like very aged an
infirm boy indeed.
Poor Johnny buff! Usually a
pitcher goes to the we'll only once
too often. The Buff pitcher went
twice too often. .rhe first time was
when Joe Lynch knocked the ban
| tam weight handle off the Buff
pitcher. Then came Villa, who
Clipped off the 1lyweight handle
leaving Johnny poor indeed.

o. Jim! Here's a Tip: Feed 'em Bit
of Poetry Before Game; Sure Winner

Boston, Mass, Sept. 15.-Having
had pretty much of everything else
tried on them to make them win
games, football players are receiv-
ing doses of poetry now with that
end in view.
The treatment is recommended
by Professor Howard R. Reiter,
athletic director at Lehigh univer-
sity and instructor in football psy
chology at the Harvard Summer
School of Physical Education.
Verse should be administered
freely both before and after games,
and between halves as we'll. the
professor asserted in his closing
lecture to his class.
I've seen a football team that
had been outplayed, outfought and
reduced to state of panic at the
end of the first half, pulled togeth-
er during intermission," Professor
Reiter says, by the leadership Of
d strong personality and by the TO
cusing of the mems energies upon
teamwork. I've seen beaten team
literally sweep their opponents be-
fore them and pull victory out of
defeat.
Poems That Uplift
Choice poems, on such occasions,
not only are uplifting, but they put
the fighting spirit into the men,
Success is failure turned inside
out.
The silver tint of the cloud OF
doubt,
And you can never tell how close
| you are,
1t may be near when it seems
afar;
So stick to the fight when you're
hardest hit,
| It's when things seem worst tina,
you mustn't quit.
"Sir John Balls The Torch Of
Life and Robert W. Services THE
GUTTER serve as the right sort OF
tonic between halves and after the
game an excellent selection il

GOTHAM HOPES
ARE IMPROVED
Giants Need Only IL Victories;
Yanks Have a Bit Tougher
Boat to Row.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-(By The As
sociated Press. VICTORIES by all
four leading teams, leading pen
nant contenders, New York and
Pittsburgh in the National, and st.
Louis and New York in the Ameri-
can, standings revealed unchanged
conditions today, but improved the
mathematical chances of the lead
ing Gothamites.
BY capturing IS of their remain
ing Is games the Giants can win
even though the Pirates can take
all of their 16 games. Such an
eventuality would give the cham
pions margin of one game. In
the American where the battle IS
closer, the Browns, to win, must
take II out of Is games remaining
if the Yankees win 10 out of IA.
The American rivals start series
at st. Louis tomorrow that probably
will decide the race.
Joe Bush's brilliant pitching and
Babe" Ruth's 32nd homer were
high lights in the Yankees second
straight triumph over Chicago, 4 10

lated rally to down Boston, 5 to 3,

abled Cleveland to down Washing

ionable this year to pitch all the
friends and relatives of both COM
batants.
The Giants had one more pitcher
than Chicago and predominance OF
numbers may be why they won. BY
and by they will be where they can
not be caught because there will
not be enough days in which to
catch them. Then the suspense
which exists where the champion
ship is not quite won will be lifted.
St Louis won in the American
league and the New Yorks of the
same league were also successful
The same argument about ap-
preaching the end Of the season
which assists the, Giants, assists
the Yanks as long as the latter are
in the lead, but they win have
much longer to wait than the
Giant to get away from their sus-
pense.
Pittsburgh Of the National league
is the only club which possesses 4
threat and it is SO mild that it is
not much "heftier" than q feather
buster. The Cubs might win al
they have left to play and the
Giants might lose all and then Chi
cago would win, but no one ex
poets that to happen. The Cubs
are really playing for place IL
the race. They would like to e
out of the hunt either first, SECOND
or third that all critics who ratef
them as a second division team
might be COMPOUNDED, but as Pitts
burgh and st. Louis. as well a.
Cincinnati, have similar desires i
doesn't look as If Chicago is stroIi
enough to make the select class. II
other words the prospects are nc
excellent that the Cubs will shar'

When the brothers, Tad and
Howard Jones. pit their football
teams against each other at Yale
bowl next month, the meeting will
be colorful and dramatic. Yet to-
day it looks as though Tad, with
his Blue squad, had the call on
Howard with his Iowa warriors. A
month is mighty small time in
which to build new material into
the gaps left at Iowa by such men
as the Devine brothers and Duke
Slater, the great negro tackle.
With all due Difference to How

that exists at Iowa, it is a pretty
difficult task to come east and win
