Sentiment Is playing part in their
present chance-taking activities. but
they have not let it blind them: At
least they think they have not. They
figure that Rocco. which is Rocky
Kansas real name. has got grand
convictions on the belief that the
champion will be weak at 1875 pounds
whereas Kansas. naturally rugged
and tough, is at his best Slightly be-
low the lightweight limit.
Rocky's hackers also recall that the
Buffalo boy stuck along with Leon
ard to the limit at Harrison. n. j..
last summer. albeit the champion:
clearly outpointed his rival. How
sans are now offering odds of to 5.
with plenty OF takers-so many, in
fact, that the price Is likely to come
down by tomorrow.
Any fair-minded critic. of course.
has got to hand the big chance to
Leonard. But Benny has been having
trouble in making the weight Now
then, when a boy has to sweat every
day as Leonard has been sweating
and losing pounds that evidently are
natural to him. it is by no means out
of the question that he might find his
strength sapping before the end Of a
fifteen round fight.
Unless the dope is all wrong Leon
ard will spring in for quick knock
out and not dub along while losing
weight round by round. Ii he can
not stow away Kansas early. then
there is no telling what will happen.
Leonard. 1t appears. is swinging the
fight. The talk is that he guaranteed
Rickard $25.000 net and Kansas $17,-
500. AS the Garden now is practically
sold out. and as the receipts will
probably amount to 100000. it looks
as though Benny was a champion
business guy as well as champion
fighter.

Speaker had come all the way from
Texas, via Cleveland. and If he had
any disposition to trade 1t must have
been frozen tight when he found that
the offerings were poor and the de-
mands for the equivalent in barter
very high.
Speaker Never Opens Up.
1t looked as IL anything that Speak
er might have had in mind to help
the Cleveland club was frozen before
he had chance to spring his PROPOSE
tion
The New York club never has dis
guised its Willingness to make deal

its organization, but as Chicago was
not represented at the meeting moth
ing could be done about Strunk, and
when Cobb suggested Scott as the pos

ing, on the other side of the street,
was discovered to be on fire.
Never have base ball men been gath
cred together with a hungrier look on
their faces for trade and with a keen
er appetite for one and yet unable to
meet on common ground. Personally
the American League owners are get
ting SO that they like each other. They
fraternized like members of the same
lodge. but when it comes to adding
any strength to the Yankees 1t will be
added by also taking it away. Indian

iris to Stand Pat.
Iris Speaker said he would stand
pat with the club that he has now.
I've got a better team than I had
last year. am sure that I have put
my men in the fight with the shift
that ] have made at first base, but
first base wasn't where we lost the
pennant in 1921. 1t was the injuries
to our catchers that threw us down."
There's the first declaration from
Iris as to why he didn't beat the
Yankees. Most folks thought it was
a falling off in his pitchers. He says
it was because O'Neill and Nuna-
maker, two of his catchers-in fact.
his only catchers worth while-were
injured. Speaker wandered back to
Cleveland on the night train figuring
that his little old club would have tn
go to bat as it is constituted unless
something happens before the season
begins.
The fact that Speaker came TO
Washington and that Cobb was on the
ground makes many believe that
something was in the wind, and that
it failed to develop possibly because
the Chicago club was not represented.
1t may just be that the absence OF
Chicago upset lot of things Every
body had a guess as to why the
team had no one present. Secretary
Harridge said he had been informed
that some one would represent
Chicago.
Tigers Need Strengthening.
Ty Cobb says he realizes that his
Detroit club needs strengthening and
considers that he can put his msu-
ager!al finger on its weak points, Yet
he thinks that he has enough of a team
to give the American League more of
battle than most think. That is
one reason why he is averse 10 any
move that will strengthen New York
or Cleveland. and. yes. for that matter
Washington. because the Nationals
are being looked upon a little more
seriously each day as the time an
proaches to go south. Nick Altrock
says he will be member Of his sec
ond championship team in 1922. His
last was out in Chicago.

Washing ION SOOQ fortune III lHiS
respect is due. of course, to the fact
that two cities in the circuit. Phila-
delphia and Boston, have no Sunday
games and that the Yankees. in New
York. must share the Polo Grounds
with the Giants of the National
League. Detroit and Cleveland, the
other American League entrants with
no major league rivals, fare next best
to Washington in the matter of sun
day games. with thirteen apiece,
while New York, St. Louis and Chi
cago each draw twelve.

Browns. The Cleveland Indians. De-
troit Tigers and Chicago White Sox
follow in that order.
Not until June 6 will the Nationals
make their initial invasion Of the
west. their two succeeding visits
opening July 25, and September Is.
In only one respect does the sched-
ule leave anything to be desired from
a strictly Washington standpoint
the fact that the Nationals must
spend practically the last month OF
the campaign on the road. AS a mat
ter of fact. after August 81 only a
half dozen contests are billed for the
local lot. and for a team that has
more or less justified expectations of
being in the thick of the pennapt
fight the necessity of having to play
twenty Of the last twenty-six battles
on foreign fields is not particularly
cheering prospect. The Griffmen Will
