Brooklyn Dodgers Rated.
Dark Horses in National
BY NEA Service

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Mar. a.
BEST looking bunch OF athletes
Brooklyn has had in 40 years. -

There you have opinions of the four
men overseeing the spring preps OF
the 1922 Dodger outfit.
A consensus OF the big four, plus
scattering comments by experts who
have watched the squad at work
make the Dodgers the dark horses"
in this years pennant dash.
The morale is better even than the
squads OF 1915 and 1920, the Dodger
pennant years.
Last spring Robbie started off
with three dissatisfied stars who
never got into condition, he had no
reserve fielding strength.
Early in the campaign was forced
to use Hi Myers at second base.

KEGS in the spring exhibition games.
The catching was slow and mec-
hanical The fielders, having no RI
walls on the bench were sure Of their
jobs and with few exceptions iazzed
it.
This year the Dodger chieftain has
two or three players for every posi-
tion, many OF them capable young,
hustling lads from the minors who
are making the veterans watch their
step.
There are 36 veterans and rNcruits
in the Brooklyn squads pitchers.
four catchers. nine infielders and
seven outfielders.
Brooklyn intends to carry the full
limit Of 25 players this season. That
is another sign of Improvement. Last
year Owner Ebbette was satisfied
with 21.
Last year the club was several
times severely handicapped by lack
Of capable substitutes
TIE plan this year is to carry nine
pitchers. three catchers eight infield-
ers and five outfielders.

worth going to see. IN fact, any
time Johnny Carlyle steps in the ring
the fans know they win get action,
and pitted against a willing boy like
Joe Matranga there is bound to be

No foreign country has taken up
American sports after the fashion of
Japan.
For years efforts have been made
to popularize baseball on the con-
tinent. II has made some progress,
but only in Japan has it gone big.
Baseball has made rapid strides
over there and is unquestionably the
most popular of all the sports. The
success OF baseball depends upon the
attitude taken by the youngsters in
the game.
The Japs have fallen strong for
baseball and the Kids can be seen
playing the game on every available
spot in Japan, which is rather hard
pressed for recreational space
For a number OF years some of the
Jap colleges have arranged trips 10
their country Of sGne prominent COLI
iege team. The University OF Chi
oago has sent a number of teams to
the Orient. The tours OF these coll
lege players have tended to establish
the sport.
"Shimmy." who intends making his
home in this country, says he was
greatly impressed by the Japanese
adoption of American SPORTS. Base
ball, he says, is played everywhere
Arizona republican., 1922-03-25

and threatens also to become the ma
tional pastime Of Japan.
Zenzo Sbimidzu, known in the ten
mis- world simply as "Shimmy." has
just returned from Japan. Shimid-
zu's recent visit, which was made TO
take unto himself bride. was his
first trip home in five years.
In fielding and running the Japs
seem TO be able to do as well as the
next. At the hitting end OF the game,
however, they have not progressed so
well. No doubt it Is the physique of
the Jap that works against him in
this branch OF the game.
Football needs mighty little re-
forming. II is a great game for red
blooded Americans. II has become
very popular, so why deprive the
public Of seeing a game that offers
tho cleanest OF sport.
In tennis the Japs have turned out
star players who have been able 10
cope with the leading lights Of the
game. .Shimidzu has always been one
OF the most feared players in the
country
While baseball has taken a strong
hold in Japan, il Is doubtful IL they
are ever able TO turn out teams that
will be able 20 successfully compete
with the best in this country.

That good little boy Johnny Carlyle
demonstrated last night that his last
Two starts were not mere flashes. but
the real stuff He met Joe Matranga
of New Orleans in a six-round bout
at the Capital City arena and de-
cisively defeated the Crescent CITY
featherweight as the last number of
a boxing card that gave the fans
three dollars worth of action for one
round dollar.
Johnny entered the ring on the
short side of the betting but before
the first round ended the ringsiders
were waiting for him to kayo Mat
ranga. Referee Hegele was forced to
warn Matranga against hitting low
and three times he threatened to stop
the bout, but Johnny was not COM
planning and the scrap continued
Matranga landed some hard rights
to Carlyle's head and rocked him
with left hooks, but he couldn't stop
the buzz saw and Johnny gradually
cut out full sized victory taking six
rounds. Carlyle doesn't shy at blood;
he came out in the fifth with his
nose spouting red and his white
trunks turned crimson, but he was
fighting-so was Matranga. They
put up IS minutes of battle that
would put many ten round main
events in q past age.
Carlyle dropped Matranga with
right cross in the very first round
and sagged him with a left hook
forcing Joe to hang on. Joe was
holding tight when the pleasing sound
of the gong tingled in his ears John
ny walked from his corner in the
second and left hook sent Matranga
to his knees Joe regained his feet
and walked into straight right. He
crossed a short one that stung Car
lyle, but did not stop him and they
were battling at the bell Again in
the third Carlyle sent Matranga to his
knees and crashed rights and lefts
to the head with an occasional. blow
to the body. The fourth and fifth
were just medely of gloves coming
from both men with Carlyle shooting
for the chin. Joe was carrying his
riga in dangerous position. but was
unable to connect.
In the sixth round they opened a
battery that was fast and furious
Johnny again sent Matranga to his
knees with his terrific right as Mat
ranga pivoted from the ropes. Mat
ranga never faltered and stood his
ground under fire Carlyle's speedy
punches baffled him and he was un-
able to get from under.
IL was hard fight and adds to the
glory of Johnny Carlyle. Joe Mat
ranga is a good fighter and hard
hitter; he landed many, hard blows
on Carlyle's jaw and Johnny. con-
trary to the general belief. took them
with a smile. For a good game
youngster, a good sport and the most
popular fighter who has ever APP
peared in a Phoenix ring Johnny
Carlyle walks away with all honors
The verdict was unanimous with the
fans.

.GREB SAYS SIZE
NOT ONLY ASSET
To HOLD CROWN
BY HARRY GREB
conqusror Of Tommy Gibbons
A fighter doesn't need 10 be a giant

A fighter doesn't need 10 be a giant
to be champion.
Because | am shy OF the six foot
mark by several inches and don't
weigh in the neighborhood or 200
pounds, ] suppose a lot OF people
are not taking me seriously as a
heavyweight contender.
There was Bob Fitzsimmons and
he didn't weigh more than ! do, yet
he was reckoned as one of the great
est fighters the ring has ever pro-
duced.
Fitzsimmons made the big fellows
like Jim Jeffries. Tom Sharkey. Gus
Rubin and the rest like IL.
True, Jeffries twice Knocked him
out but before the finish Jeffries
knew that he had been in a real bat
tie.
Joe woleott measured only few
inches over five feet. vet Wa1cott
constantly gave away from is to 20
pounds I'm weight and often as much
as a foot in height.
Despite his weight. Walcott was
certainly a fighter il there ever was
one.
/ have no desire to compare nv
self with either Fitzsimmons or Wal
colt simply speak OF these two
great fighters 10 prove that one need
not be a giant TO be a fighter or
a champion.
When Jack Dempsey was matched
10 meet Jesse Willard the bout was
ridiculed by q lot OF fight critics
Most OF the fight fans thought Wil-
lard was too big for Dempsey.
In the Toledo bout Dempsey, who
was little man compared TO will
lard. proved that size wasn't the only
thing needed 10 be a fighter VIII
lard probably still remembers the lac
ing he took that evening.
When ] was first matched to fight
Gibbons the public viewed the bout in
much the same manner as IL did the
Willard Dempsey 60.
Gibbons, with an advantage OF 10
pounds ia weight and inches in

for me TO have q chance with him.

OF size being a fighters most impor-
tant asset.
There are a few other thinga a

number for action. Red had 800 ring
side advisers, listened to all and
fought as he pleased. He took three
rounds and three We're even. but he
never had an advantage over Pena
that was dangerous to the Phoenix
boy. Briggs must have eyes in the
back of his head. He stood with his
back to Pena and seemed to drop
under swings by instinct.
The fans cut loose with more noise
than the crowd at Boyles thirty acres
when Dempsey and Carpenter fought.
Briggs and Penua fought so fast
and so hard the first four rounds
that they were both all in in the
fifth round and had to rest up for
the sixth. Pena cornered Briggs and
the faithful were ready for the cur
tain. but Briggs again crossed the
wires and slugged Pena out of the
ropes and forced Ralph to go to
cover. Briggs hard swings rolled off
Pena's jaw like perspiration, but
Ralph couldn't take them in the caf-
eteria and Red knew it.
Red was given the decision, but
there was some dissatisfaction. Ref
cree Hegele called it right. but it
was close.
Bennie Bloom Blows
Bennie Bloom entered the ring at
half past nine with a beautiful head
Of curly hair and handpainted snakes
worked i'm tattoo on both arms
and his lower limbs. He left a few
minutes later with snakes crawling
through the air, a sadder but wiser
fighter and one who respects the
right hand of Soldier Brown
Brown dropped Bloom for the
count Of nine in the first round
Bloom regained his feet and showed
willingness to fight, but he was
outclassed and 1t was just a question
as to when he would go to sleep. The
call came in the second round after
Brown closed his right eye with
straight rights and hard lefts. Brown
caught Bloom with a left hook to
the jaw, crossed with his right and
the towel came from Blooms cor
ner at the bell.
The gong saved Bloom. but he was
satisfied and the bout ended with
Soldier Brown getting credit for an
other kayo.
Get for Home, Brunei
Battling Sam beat Cactus Brown
for three rounds, showed his left into
Browns face at will, hammered him
with hard rights and toyed with his
opponent DIS cat uOeS mouse. sam
gives the ringsiders heart failure by
his Bruno tactics and hereafter a
stimulant should be provided the fans
when he is billed to fight. Sam knows
one thing and does that alone. He
shoots his left and >rubs his nose
then he is through. In the last round
Sam played Bruno and dogged it
miserably. He Waa entitled to a
draw, but on general principles he
should have lost the decision. Bruno
is a tramp when it comes to run
ming home in pinch.
