Otto Knabe Tells How Former
New York Giant Performed
Behind the Bat.

Speaking of catchers and their
value to a team with pennant aspir-
atoms. F. Otto Knabe, former sec
ond baseman with the Phillies, had
some pleasant words to say about
Roger Bresnahan, a former back
stop for the New York Giants.
Il played in the fast set more
than ten years." said Otto, land
it is my belief that Roger Breshna
han was the best catcher l even
saw. He simply had no weakness
He could receive, throw. bat and
run. He was so good in batting
and run-getting that McGraw placed
him at the top of his batting
order.
He was terror against us wher
1 played with the Phillies. If the
score was even and the eighth OF
ninth inning came with Bresnahar
opening at bat, a team had to be
on the alert.
"On an inside ball he would try
purposely to get hit. If the bal
was outside or bad. he would never
go after it and would walk. If il
was across the middle of the plate
he would hit it a mile.
There were few catchers who
knew as much about inside stuff or
the attack as Roger.
HE also had very tantaliznf
manner in talking to the pitcher
for the benefit of the batsman. A
pitcher would shake his head Wher
he signed. and then Roger wou't
shout audibly:
"'All right: if you think you car
do it, try that
THAT made batsman feel tha'
special efforts were being made tC
trap him, and it made him wonder
what kind Of a ball was going r.
be pitched When a batsman is in
a hole such remarks are quite dis
concerning, for Bresnahan W0ul
force you to try to guess what was
coming.
I'm present day baseball there
never was the equal Of Breshnahan
although we have had some good
catchers But Bresnahan worried
a team from the start Of the game
to the finish"

S|SLER DUE To
RESUMEPLAY
|NMONTH
Case of Browns Great First
Baseman One Which Per-
picked Fans.
BY HARRY NELLY.
written for Cosmopolitan News Ser

written Tor Cosmopolitan news SERVICE
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 7.-Within
one month the greatest ball player
in the American League will be able
to return to his employment By
that is meant that George Sisler
will resume his place in the Browns
lineup.
In st. Louis this week the writer
learned from a reliable source that
Sisler is on the road to recovery
and will play ball again by August
/. If he does, that will bring to an
end one Of the most peculiar cir
cumstances in the history of the
sport.
Sisler in 1922 was voted the most
valuable man in the league by Il
commission of baseball writer's ap-
pointed to make an annual selection
for the baseball monument to be
erected III washington. oISser RAJ
far ahead of his associates. Voting
was done on a basis of personal con-
duct as well as baseball activities.
Then, along toward the close CT
the season, Sisler suddenly quit the
lineup and the Browns finished a
scant margin behind the Yanks. 1t
was conceded generally If he had
remained on the field until the finel
day the Browns would have won
he cha censorship. A lame shoulder
forced him out.
During the winter reports began
to circulate: "Sisler never will
play ball again-he is done" Of
| ficials of the Browns with the
| stupidity which often marks the
conduct of sport proprietors in an
| emergency, entered general denials,
but neglected to define the nature
| Of his malady
This gave rise tc all sorts Of
| rumors. Half the fans in the
| major leagues are convinced that
he suffers of some uncomfortable
disease, simply because of the
bungling manner in which the doc
tors and club officials looked mys-
| FERROUS. They seem to think by
hollering "Oh, he's all right" the
3'oWn& pennant chances would be
improved.

In order to be a worlds cham
pion today you must beat, every
champion of every country. We
have today:
Sam Langford, champion of
Mexico.
Dead Pan Louie Firpo, cham
pion of South America.
Spalla, champion of Italy.
Humbeck, champion of Belgium.
Beckett, champion of England.
Fonce Mexon, champion of Aus
Jralia.
And then we have five or six
other joints still battling for top
honors.
Right now it will take a guy a
year or two to get rid of chal-
lengers and by the time he's fin
ished he's ready to retire.
Dempsey, of course, is the rec
ognized champ today, but the
others will be around with a
squark sooner or later.

livers and place them in a glass
jar. Sprinkle with a couple tea
spoonsful of powdered alum. Allow
them to set for a few days and
then cut them up in chunks for

the liver so that it will stay on

N of the new crowd gatherer

Gently pasted Pal Moran for a row
of Sazarac cocktails and took the
decision in fifteen rounds.
The Southern sport writer's are
very sweet on Basil now and say
that he's the biggest card they've
had in the South since Joe Mandot
was in his prime.
Fred Digby, a New Orleans
scribe, says this about Galiano:
Pa Galiano, father of twenty
two children, among them Basil!
| Galiano, wept with joy Monday
night when he heard that his
boy had again performed a feat
which thousands had thought i'm
possible and was coming home
"the lightweight champion of The
South" Two other sons of Pa
Galiano had tried to win fame and
fortune in the ring, but turned to
more peaceful pursuits. With
Basil it is different. Success has
crowned his every effort, ard Pa
Galiano has every right to be
proud Of him.
There's no telling but what
Basil will some day return to his
home in Carrollton worlds
champion. He is by far the best
young fighter ir1 the lightweight
division. At twenty, and in but
three years of fighting, Galiano's
accomplishments include a draw
with Johnny Dundee and a victory
over Pal Moran. two of the best
half-dozen lightweights in the
world.
/ Moran was beaten at the Louisi-
ana Auditorium and in such de-
cisive manner as to leave little
room for questioning the supe-
riority of Galiano. This same
Moran fought sensational fifteen
round battle with Lew Tender
in New York last winter.

Friends Go First.

0NE of the first things to go in
the process of baseball de-
~ cline is a players friends.
The next thing is his legs. Oc-
casionally an athletes arm joins
his head in the great beyond, but
most usually the victim is the
underpinnings that connect the
dogs to the Waistline.
Or, as / sometimes call it, the
"waste-line," for that is where a
lot of magnates' good iron dough
is wasted on twice as much food
as a polite elephant would take.
But you can't teach an old dog
new menus.
So, friends, when you consider
it all in all, remember that
Speaker plays up close behind the
so-called infield, to be among the
higher priced stars of today.
Several decades ago, when this
writer was looked on as one who
paid cash, he expected any day to
see iris Speaker retire. The only
time he retires, I am telling you,
is when he goes to bed.
They'd Like 1t.
1T seems that a lot of my pals
and rival writer's has pre-
n dicted each and every year
that iris Speaker is through with
the game. Some of the pitchers
certainly wish to goodness he was.
He makes many a twirler look
soapy out there.
While l do not say he is the
whole city of Cleveland, my friend
iris is something like that. When

they really ought to he pitied on
account of being outnumbered by
trying to win from Speaker and
Cleveland-two baseball teams in

back"

GIBBONS Will possibly SWING lnlO
action against the winner of next
Thursdays semi-final between Floyd
johnson and Jack McAuliffe. AT
present there is no big bout in
sight for him. The loser in the Will
lard Firpo setto probably will be
eliminated as a championship con-
tender.
Few expect to see this fight go
very far, and if the loser takes an
inglorious dive there will be no I'M
mediate demand for his services
here.
Only one other men stands be-
tween Gibbons and a return match
with Dempsey. That man is Harry
Wills, and it is UNLIKELY that Har-
~ will permit himself to get mixed
I'D with Gibbons, now that he so
hot on Dempsey's trail. Further
more, Gibbons and Wills would prob
ably put up an unsatisfactory fight
as both like to hold.
Dempsey, it is believed, will
defer his trip East until after his
manager comes here and weighs
the immediate prospects Of the
champion. Both Jacks are report
ed as Disguised with the Shelby
affair from all standpOints.
Dempsey disappointed himself as
well as his followers. who thought
he could win from Gibbons in any
round he named. He plans to go
TO Salt Lake first and then to Los
Angeles. Kearns may go back to
California with Dempsey, but is
expected here for the Leonard
Tender fight.
The Cromwell A. c. has been try
ing for weeks to close a match be-
tween Dempsey and Wills. and
Kearns probably will want to see
the Layout" at the Yankee stadium
and thus get a line on what a
heavyweight championship match
will draw there.
The situation now has resolved
itself into an effort of the Cror1-
well folks and Tex Richard to
make Dempsey the most flattering
offer. 1t is unlikely that both
bouts can be put on this. summer.
Kearns will not make any prom
Uses until after the Willard-Firpo
scuffle. If Firpo is the winner,
Dempsey may be interested in him
more than in Wills. The champion
Goes not figure Willard as the win
ner and does not seem to relish the
idea of boxing the big Kansa
again. Neither does Kearns seem
anxious to flirt with Wills, though
the prospect Of Dempsey making
half a million out of that match
might influence him in making an
early decision.
Labor Day, therefore, may prob
ably see Dempsey i'm action here,
either at the Yankee stadium or
BOyle's Thirty Acres.
Paddy Mullins, the Marquis of
Greensboro, announces that he is
going to start an active campaign
in behalf of his logical contender"
Harry Wills. Mullins is becoming
uneasy over the efforts to bury
Wills under a mass of publicity for
Willard. Firpo and Dempsey.
There are few matches in sight
for Wills but Mullins intends to
show him in all the boxing centers
and hurl challenges at Dempsey
every night.
The patient stevedore has stood
on the dock a long time awaiting
the overdue champion. He has had
little TO say and it is time some
body was speaking up for him.
Boxing fans in this vicinity think
Wills is entitled to his shot at the
champion. He has not been "buil:
up" and he has INDUCED in no per-
sonalities. The champion has so
consistently side-stepped Wills that
further lodging will strengthen the
conviction that Dempsey and
Kearns have been warned to avoid

Ada also began to show the first
symptoms of what was probably
scurvy. Her condition f1uctuated
from day to day. Some days she is
unable to venture far from the camp.
With the coming Of scurvy her spirits
sank, and for a little while she is at
the point of giving up. On February
II knight writes:

Inmates that she does not care

Ada Gets Better.
At this point in the story 1t would
seem that there are to be no sur
vivors-that the little flicker of hu-
man life on Wrangel Island is TO De
extinguished and nothing left but
winter waste of ice and snow. But
after a short period Ada's condition
improves.
Whenever she gets fox their joy
is unbounded.
"The woman got a fat female fox"
Knight writes, "in one of her traps.
A good feed for the two of us and the
cat. l feel fairly well today, especial
ly after getting full stomach OF un-

Steadily Knight grows weaker and
March 9 he records, pathetically:

my hands have nearly lost their sense
of touch My craving is for meat
My eyes are starting to water little,
especially when i try to read or
write" Two days later: Il positively
cannot swallow either hard bread or
blubber."
Only the next day Ada had good
luck with the traps and Knight
writes:
Revived by Fresh Meat.
"It never rains but it pours. The
woman caught three foxes today
two males and a female, all fairly fat.
I ate quite bit and drank a lot of
soup and feel little better"
That week meat was plentiful. 1t is
evident from his diary that his spirits
went up and down in exact ratio to
the amount of food he was able to
get and eat.
He notes this himself on March 21:
"The woman got fat female fox
today. Am not getting much stronger,
although my spirits have picked up
wonderfully since the foxes are being
caught"
Knight died on June %. But his last
entry was dated March %. three
months before the end. During the
two weeks before this last notation
Ada had caught no less than seven
foxes, and Knight shows asfeeble
