Ii Scott should happen to come
around slowly this year. and goodness
fate befall him. the Yanks would be
handicapped at the start OF the
season. They can't afford to be
handicapped. They are going to
opening day in April with all the in
tensity that can be laid down by a
barrage of seven batteries. Not all
or the seven play New York at once
but all of them will be mixed in the
general slam against the New York
team.
Champions Are Delicate.
The Yanks haven't been as badly
on for seasonable weather in New
Orleans as the Pittsburghs have been
at Hot Springs, but there has been
much more yowling about unfavor
able conditions. The Pittsburghs
with their noses frost bitten have
to get somewhere because they are
pulling on the bit. The Yanks. hav-
ing won a championship in 1922. and
also In 1921, have developed delicate
constitutions
Huggins has no fear about the fu-
ture of his team or about it's condi-
tion except that he would like an in
heider. There is an air about the
Tanks. however. of easy compla-
sance and internal confidence. There
is also an air of why should we wor-
ry. let George do that.
The Yanks may feel that they are
not trained as finely as a thorough
bred. That shouldn't worry them
half as much as that they may feel
when the year Is over that they have
been whipped as soundly as a mule
Cannot Blur Opponents.
They are not going to win their
third pennant by growing their way
through the season, or by bluff1ne
their presence into the sanctum OF
the throne. They have got to dig

When YOU once have the number
idea in your brain and have practiced
little YOU will find that you can be-
gin to put down plays almost uncon-
sciously by number and when that is
accomplished you will soon begin to
score games without much trouble so
Tar as the clerical part of IL is con-
cerned
For instance. there is the play from
shortstop to first base. The writer has
scored II so often that he never
thinks much about it when he sees
the shortstop throw the ball except to
of the play--6 to 3. From shortstop
to second base he has become so ac-
Customed to "6-4" that he seldom
thinks of the play in any other way
when the game is going on. A fly to
the left fielder if he catches is Fl and
If he muffs it Nj.
1t is is not the intention to give all
the symbols of plays, because that
would take up too much time and In
addition to that they are given at
length and with the proper diagram
explanation in a manual on scoring
which is issued by Spaldings.
What the author is going to enter
into is some of the reasons why plays
should be scored in certain manner.
We have just had a disagreement
about base hit which was credited
to Cobb. and concerning which there
has been some discussion, not at all
pleasant; but II the president of the
league credits the hit to Cobb that
seems to end 1t, for the president Is
the final authority in base ball. If
the personal opinion had been able
to stand in the way of records some
player who took part in games
twenty-five years ago never would
have got theirs to- this day.
The mere putting down of base
hits or errors is supposed to be ac-
curately accomplished and a proper
report made, but not all scorers are
as particular as they might be in
doing that sort of thing, and If some
of the scores which are sent to the
Offices of those who compile base
ball statistics could be seen by the
public there would be move for
compulsory education in transmitting
base ball figures.

Tallahassee, Fla, May 18.-The most

ha4 transformed Willard into better
locking fighting man than the Willard
of four years ago But for five rounds
Johnson gave Willard rough time of
1t, simply by Swarming all over the
giant from Kansas and directing his
attack to the body at close quarters.
Before his rivals assault Willard was
nonplused. He was nervous entering
the ring and seemed helpless and at a
loss as to what to do in the face Of
JolnsOn's whilrwind attack.
in the second round Willard rallied
for a short period, but went back on
the defensive quickly and without
stemming Johnsons rushes. Not until
the fifth did Willard again attempt All
offensive and when he did the former
champion several times drove his
right uppercut home, staggering john
son. Then it developed into a question
of whether Willard could maintain
the pace or crush Johnson under the
weight of his right uppercut.
In the sixth round it became more
evident that Johnson was losing
strength. The fact that johnson was
overmatched became more painfully
clear. Through the seventh round John

but IN the eighth round and thereafter

JOHNSON GIVES BATTLE.

Despite the handicaps of height,
weight-and reach tremendous disac-
vantages all-Johnson gave Willard q
hard struggle. Had he possessed any
thing approaching the punching
strength of Dempsey, johnson would
have battered willard into q
helpless bloody hulk similar to
tho broken, defeated heavyweight
who squatted shorn of his title

in the ring at Toledo after three
rounds of terrific action.
Willard is not impervious to attack
He has no defense worthy of mention
and his offense has not the volume nee
esSary to constitute an Affirmative de-
tense. Willard is lacking too, in condi
ton. He is slow of hand and foot and
his flesh dances loosely whenever he
moves. Another defect in willard
which Johnson brought out is inferior
brain power in the ring. In addition
to being slow with his hands and feet
Willard is slow thinker. He has not
the perfect coordination of mind and
muscle which is noticeable in the aver
age boxer. This defect shows in the
deterioration Of Wizards boxing abiI
ity. His jab is inaccurate and ill-timed
and lacks the sting it once held. With
