Dempsey Takes a Look.
Jack Dempsey saw Smith one day
In training. out declined TO sit at tho
ringside when Smith was fighting
Boots, on the ground that he may
be fighting Smith some day and he
didn't want any advantage.
That day will hardly come in less
than two years. Blake intends TO
take Smith along slowly and give
him chance to fight his way to the
top. Too many good men have been
spoiled by being rushed In against
the champions before they were suf-
ficiently experienced.
But when the big fellow starts he's
likely to make an awful crash among
the "contendors."
II Jess Willard and Ralph Smith
were starting at the same time.
Smith would be the more likely
prospect for a champion. He has
much OF Dempsey's aggressiveness
and no trace of the lazy good nature
that kept Willard from being an
active champion after his one great
tight against Jack Johnson at Ha-
Vana.

PITTSBURGH. Pa. Feb. 25.-If
the Pittsburgh Pirates of the Ma
tional league do not attain first
place in the race for the pennant
they are going to worry one or two
other teams q powerful lot before
the final game OF tho 1929 season.
That's the idea Barney Dreyfuss,
principal owner of the club has, and
George Gibson, veteran Pirate
catcher and now manager, ia back
ing Dreyfuss strongly in the senti-
ment.
Pittsburgh sort OF petered out at
the tail end of the 1921 season,
when they had the flag almost
within their grasp.
Gibson is developing a new idea
this year. In effect he Is going to
have what amounts to two ball
teams on the payroll, one to do the
playing, and when 1t gives evidence
of cracking, the second outfit will
be put in play or as much Of Sec
ond outfit as is needed. The idea is
to have team that can last a whole
season, as was the case last year.
Lots of New Talent.
Dreyfus has bought and signed up
n lot of talent during the winter.
Many OF the 35 players that are 60
ing TO training camp this spring are
not much more than sandlotters or
bushers, but the Pirate chief has
received "hot tips" about their Won
derful ability, and he's going 10 try
them out, and then, at the close of
the training season, it will be a
survival of the fittest.
Gibson plans pitching and hard
hitting team this year. Going to
training camp with him are 16
pitchers and five catchers.
The first training camp contin-
gent will be the pitchers, catchers
and Manager Gibson The second
contingent OF Pirates will reach
West Baden March 8. They will
drink the famous waters OF that re-
sort freely and often until March
II, when they will leave for their
old training camp at Hot Springs,
Ark, arriving there March ~. The
Boston Americans will also train at
Hot Springs, and there will be exhi-
bition games between Pittsburgh
and Boston on March II, 1S, 10, 25
and 26. On other days there will be
play between the rockies and regu-
lars of the Pittsburgh team.
