life. will perform her routine task
OF covering a multitude OF sins.
Granting of a license for the battle
between the man who was and the
man who wants to be, Chairman
Muldoon OF the New York state
boxing commission has made very
shrewd move.
Here we were. with all heavy
weight fights frustrated. barred and
banned by official edict. Muldoon
cause he believed. and many others
did also. that heavyweight scrap
about this time would harm the
game, perhaps start storm of oppo-
sition that might result in killing 1t
altogether.
Now along comes the great chance.
New. York's pet charity, the milk
fund. needs money. 1t deserves all
it can get. The opportunity will give
jess his chance to come back The
rare one. The fans will get heavy
weight battle.
And not by any means least
speaking Of charity-Johnson and
willard Will drag down $4,000 for
fighting in charity's name. Selah!
Kansas md White VIII Draw.
The fight tomorrow night at the
Rocky Kansas. the Buffalo shock alb
sorber, and Charley White, whose
greatest claim to fame Is that Benny
Leonard once knocked him for a
festoon of spaghetti, will draw a big
house.
This because the battle is looked
upon as the first process in clearing
up the lightweight situation. Also
because whatever may be said OF
Rocky Kansas, he always is there
the best the other fellow has. which
is usually plenty. Also. again.
because somebody has kidded the
public into the belief that White is a
real contender for the title now held
by Benjan Leiner.
At that there are nearly a hundred
thousand worse lightweights than
Anchowitz, beg pardon. White. White
has got pretty nearly everything
except high, passionate resolve to
make an Annie Oakley out of his op-
ponent. Or if he has the resolve he
doesn't think Of putting it into. eff
feet until after the battle Is over.
Neither Is Quick Thinker.
They say that slow witted people
are kept awake nights thinking OF
retorts that might have been en1-
ployed in the course of arguments.
but which never occurred to them un-
til some hours later. If Anchowitz

of the mental apparatus of Rocky

NEW YORK. February S.-Waite
Hoyt, star pitcher of the Yankees. Is
one of those who are happy because
the proposed deal whereby Eddie Col
Inns. second baseman of the White
Sox, would come to New York, has
not been completed.
Hoyt arrived in New York yester
day from San Francisco, the first of
the team which toured the orient this
winter. to return to the metropolis.
The team, made up of stars Of both
leagues. played exhibition games
against local mines in Japan, China
and the Philippines.

The pending deal would send Hoyt

Chicago team in exchange for Col
Inns, Bib Falk and Charley Robertson.
The American tourist team won
twenty-five of the twenty-six games
it played. he said.

There will be no fooling with the
pitching regulations. The little move
ment, quietly started, to get rosin.
soapstone and "a few other powders
into base ball again will not get
much farther than 1t has gone. Two
men quite prominent III base ball
were in favor of II and each had an
ak to grind. The moment that ros!n
and soapstone get place again in
base ball, emery powder and a few
other ingredients will follow and in
time the pitcher will be back where
he was three years ago, when he
made the ball the travelling agent for
a chemists shop.
1t is reported that forbidden dope"
was used in the games played last
year. In spite of the fact that op-
posing players are posing always as
detectives and that the umpires con-
certain that rosin got into the game
and that soapstone played a slight
part in some Of the pitching.
Changes Would Not Benent.
There is no necessity of allowing
The number of balls or strikes to de-
crease or increase batting. II the
total number of balls were fewer than
now 1t would surely be no less than
three. and if the minimum got down
o three there would be fewer hits,
perhaps, but there would be more
runners on the bases. sent there
through no physical eXperthess OF
their own.
If the penalty were removed from
hitting the batter with a pitched
ball you would have host of pitch-
crs driving the batters back from the
plate until the games would resemble
the Coney Island amusement, IN
which yoa get a cigar If you bean a
Senegambian with a base ball.
The zoning argument for home
runs or possible home runs came as
near being reality rs any rule change
1t isn't necessary TO pass a new rule
10 bring that change about If de-
sired by only one league. 1t is an
open question whether it is not pos
Sible for home clubs to establish zone
rules if they wish to do so and man
ufacture home runs to suit their per-
sonal convenience. but the consent Of
all of the clubs of the league would
have to be obtained to put it through.
Just a chance exists that the mat
ter of paying high bonuses TO college
players for signing their names TO
contracts will come up. Offhand 1t
seems as if that is a matter which
belongs to the individual club. If
owners of base ball outfits have be-
come such poor business men that
they are willing TO pay $4,000 to have
an untried player sign his name to
contract the matter of-fact part of
the world will quickly think of the
old adage of Il fool and his money
soon parted.
AS matter of fact. this practice
has grown to be positively absurd
and is simply another reason why
the tariff to ball games goes up in
stead of down. Curtailment of frills
could knock off half a million easily,
but the frills are not likely to be
narrowed as long as there is some
thing left over for dividends and
frills too.

Giants of 1905 Greatest
Team, McCra,u Euer
Mapaged-R airy
With the Pirates Led
to ''Vegetable Showers

I REGARD the Giants OF 1905 as
the greatest ball club that | have
managed. l look upon it as one
Of the greatest ball teams of the
last thirty years. AS | have said
before, the Baltimore Orioles of
lS94-95-eo. i'll my opinion, made up
the greatest ball team of my knowl-
edge. The 1905 Giants. though, were
the best that ! have ever managed.
! say this. too. in due regard for
the fact that l have handled other
clubs that were greater hitters and
greater base runners. l hand the
laurels to the 1905 team for its smart
ness. We did not have a really slow
thinking ball player on the club.
That team was not SO fast. but
what it lacked in speed of feet il made
up in speed of thought. In addition,
we had two OF the greatest pitchers
that the game has ever seen-Mathew-
son and McGinnity. We had two of
the great catchers-Bresnahan and
Bowerman. To my way of thinking,
BreSnahan was about the best catcher
Of all times. The only other catcher

that l would rank alongside him is
Buck Ewing.
l have had fans, base ball writer's
and even players look surprised when
] made this statement about Bresna-
han. But | would ask you something:
Did you ever know of another
catcher who was a smart enough hit
ter and base runner to lead the bat
ting order? Did you ever know of
another catcher who, in addition to
his backstop work could hit over 800
and steal fofty-five bases in a season
/ don't think you have. All Of those
things must be taken into considera-
tion when selecting the best catcher
of all times. His value to a team is
what counts. could name a dozen
catchers who worked like a machine,
who were good hitters and who had
great arms. A majority of them,
though, were slow thinkers.
Bresnahan, you see, had all of those
qualities combined. Johnny King,
for instance. was one of the greatest
of all catchers. but / never regarded
his as valuable to 4 ball club as
Bresnahan. He could not hit as well
as Roger and there were other things
that he could not do as well. No
