It is likely that tans nave oiteh seen the pitcher shake his head to the catcher That means that he does not agree with him as to what should be pitched. You do not see that on my club nowadays. I give the signals myself. and the players know that what I say goes. Whether my Judg- ment is good or bad, it is final. l take the responsibility for the mis- take.
 Some of the great pitchers give the signals themselves. Matty often gave his own signals, also McGinnity, Wild Bill Donovan and many others. After catcher has worked for a pitcher who is a real artist for any length of time he knows pretty well what is in the pitchers mind In that case he gives the signals until the pitcher shakes his head.
 Stealing Signals
 There have been a few players who were very expert in stealing signals. The man in the best position to do this is the runner who reaches sec ond He has a chance to look direct 1y in the catcher's init. As soon as he catches the system he-in turn sig nals the batter. The old Athletics were supposed to be very clever at this. Eddie Collins could solve a sys- IeHl very IuiChlyB anu lieiu to bC watched all the time. Incidentally. 1t is not considered bad sportsmanship to steal signals when 1t is merely question of crossing with. In fact it | is looked upon as quite an achieve ment
 The stealing of signals by me ehanical means is looked upon as low and mean. Many stories have gone the rounds of men sitting in the cen terfield bleachers and spotting the signals by aid of field glasses. At one time there was quite sensation about semaphore being used in one of the parks to tip off the signs to batters. I never knew If that were true. As a matter of fact, l don't re- l lieve it to be any great advantage. On one occasion when Al Bridwell had left us and was with another team he came to the Polo grounds anxious to help his batting average. (Continued on Page Fourteen)

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Expressing his eagcrness to meet any asplrants for his heavyweight crown, JacK Dempsey and his advane entourage reached New York today.
 Dempsey's manager. Jack Kearns' is due to arrive tomorrow and In the afternoon a conference is sched- uled with Promoter Tex Rickard, at which negotiations for the titlehold- er,s expected program of action dur ing the outdoor season may reach a definite basis.
 Rfckard said today he would sub- init two proposals to Kearns and Dempsey. one calling for a match with Jess Willard. probably June 3o. and the other with the survivor of a Leavyweight elimination series among Floyd Johnston, Tom Gibbons and Luis Firpo, the Argentinian pu- eilist. The latter contest may take place in September.
 Dempsey declared he was ready to meet any of these heavyweights as we'll as Harry Wills, with whom he signed tentatively for a bout six months ago, but ring circles were convinced that no proposition for match with the New Orleans negro would be discussed.
 Looking fit and weighing, on his own testimony. only 1s5 pounds, close to his best fighting weight. Dempsey declared he would want at least six weeks or two months to get into con- dition for & championship fight.
 Asked about offers for bout with Joe Beckett. English champion. in London, Dempsey said he was not anxious to fight abroad and did not believe a bout with the Briton would materialize.

 He further declared that Dempsey was ready to fight any that he ex- pected to arrange a match to be held in Madison Square Garden within three weeks.
 Kearns asserted that Dempsey would meet Wills, If possible. or Jess Willard, or would fight Tom Gibbons and Harry Greb the same night and knock them both out. If boxers were not available to meet the champion, then Kearns declared Dempsey would take on Straugler Lewis. the former heavyweight wrestling champion, in a mixed bout. There was one thing certain, Kearns said, and that was, that Dempsey was ready and anxious to fight.
 If none of these boxers or Lewis "came through" with a match for Dempsey, Kearns declared the cham pion would take them all ,"on" in Lattle royal.
