CLANCY K.O. KING
Baltimore BattIer, Now Going Back
Has Punched 40 to Sleep.

Baltimore. Nd, Feb. 5.-George
CLANCY, Baltimore lightweight, is the
greatest knockout Of the modern fight
ers. He is entitled to the title of ok. o."
without a question. He has 70 victims
to his credit.
Despite his great record as a punch
er, CLANCY is no longer a championship
possibility.
As a featherweight. Clancy was
picked as the boy who would beat
Johnny Kilbane. After chasing Kilbane
for over n year for title bout, CLANCY
was accommodated and Kilbane knocked
him out.
Chaney's defeat by Kilbane was the
turning point in his career. Since that
time he has had the count of ten tolled
over him a number Of times.
CLANCY has the peculiar left-hand
style. His ambition is to bring his
knockout record up to an even 10.
Since his defeat by Kilbane for the
featherweight title, CLANCY has out
grown that class and is now legiti-
mate lightweight.

tory of the ring contains the names of
many notable iron workerS-FitzSim-
mons. Rubin, Jeffries and a score of
others.
But it is his mental equipment that
makes him a successful fighter. From
Viking ancestors he inherits the cool,
deliberate fighting spirit. the confidence
and the contempt for danger. He in
herits natural strength from a seafar-
ing race that never avoided hardship.
He has the smooth. fair skin of the
Northman, and curiously enough he
isn't even Redeemed by heavy blows that
would leave the average man battered
and bleeding.
His ability to take heavy blows with
out showing a trace of effect reminds
one Of Battling Nelson, the durable
Dane. So does his steady, stolid agrees
siveness. He is so cool in attack that
he looks slow, but every now and then
he makes a sudden movement that is so
swift you know the speed is there il he
wants to call on it in emergency.
Forehead Like Sulliyan's.
One curious thing / notice about
Johnson is the shape Of his head. At
least 90 per cent of the successful fight
ers have foreheads that slope back
sharply from heavily protruding brows.
Dempsey, Fitzsimmons. Jeffries, Nc
Govern, Carpenter, Willard, Walker,
Villa, Cans, Walcott, Jack Johnson,
Ketchel, Buff, Kilbane-I could fill the
page with names Of champions of this
type.
But among the exceptions were John
L Sullivan, Kid Mccoy, Tommy Ryan
Frank Erne, Tommy Burns-all among
the greatest champions of their time.
Floyd JOhnson's forehead is high
full, rounded, like Sullivan's. Except
for his thick neck he looks more like q
student than a fighter, and so far be i:
unmarked, just as Sullivan was un
marked after all his fighting. The full
forehead in Floyd's case may denote in
| telligence that accounts for his vic
tories and may in time put him where
he will wear a crown.

Records Show Sisler
Failed to Hit in But
Seventeen 1922 Games

The official averages of the big
leagues, recently completed for the
1922 season, are disclosing all kinds
of queer records to those who like
to pore over them and get new angles
on the fancy performances of their
heroes. Here's the latest that some
one has dug up.
In the 1922 season of 160 games,
more or less, George Sisler, leading
batsman of the American League,
failed to get hit in only seventeen
contests.
In So games he made one hit, in
80 he made two, in % he got three
and in twelve he hammered out four
hits.
Included is his consecutive hitting
streak of Al days, breaking the
major league record.

FAST To SCRAP
WITH DEMPSEY
Young Heavyweight Has All
Requirements Of
Title Timber.
EDGREN SIZES HIM UP
Tells of Fine Showing in
Two Recent Impor-
tant Victories.
EDGREN SIZES HIM UP
By ROBERT EDGREN.

Floyd johnson, blond. blue-eyed and
a fighting man, looks like rival for
Dempsey's ring honors within the year.
johnson has fought his way through
ten winning battles in the East in spite
of the dopesters who picked two of his
opponentS-Bob Martin and Bill Bren-
nan-to beat him easily because of SUI
perior experience and boxing skill.
He won nine straight with knock
outs. Brennan, badly whipped, lasted
fifteen rounds. But Llg Bill Brennan
has been knocked cut only by Jack
Dempsey himself, and that after twelve
desperate rounds of fighting. Bill is
rugged as a big Bat Nelson, and so
stubbornly game that he doesn't know
when he's hurt.
Floyd johnson was an iron worker
in San Francisco when he began fight
ing three years ago There was local
trades boxing tournament.
johnson had been boxing a little with
2 the boys during noon hours at the iron
works, although without any idea of
ever going into a real contest. He was
surprised when he found his name on
the list of contestants entered from his
shop.
Persuaded Him to Enter.
At first he didn't know whether to
compete or not, but his friends in the
iron works urged him to go through
with it. He had no real objection to
taking part in an entertaining scrap
or two for the fun OF fighting So he
trained a few days.
In that tournament johnson knocked
out every man he met from the first
preliminary to the final bout, winning
the championship of the iron workers.
II met some strong men, and bigger
men, and some who knew more about
boxing, but none of them could stand
up under his blows.
Here Alex Greggains, famous old
time fighter-the same Greggains who
fought Buffalo Costello in two drawn
battles of so and so rounds for the mid
dleweight championship which both
claimed-saw johnson and became in
terested.
For 80 years Greggains has run box
ing clubs in San Francisco, and has de-
veloped several worlds champions. He
knows as much about fighting and
fighters as any man living.
Greggains knew johnson had the stuff
to 20 up among the champions. he
made him a proposition, took charge OF
his training, taught him the first prln-
ciples of scientific attack and defense,
and sent him into the coast four-round
game.
Next to New York.
Here johnson made good Immediately
and, after a short time, Greggains sent
him to New York, where a man who
caI make good in the ring can get real
money for it.
From the start Johnson made good.
Matched against second-rate heayies, he
knocked them over one after another
without any difficulty. He looked
little awkward, perhaps a little slow,
but there was something effective about
his hitting, and blows didn't bother him.
After a while johnson was matched
to box Fighting Bob Martin, Of whom
General Pershing is said to hav' spoken

ECKERSALL REGARDED
AS BEST QUARTER In
HISTORY OF FOOTBALL
Up in Middlewest They Re-
call Famous Feats OF
Versatile Walter.
Chicago, Feb. s.-who is the greatest

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Who is the greatest
quarterback in the history of football?
There is a real problem for you. In
modern football the quarterback has
more or less lost his identity-he is
just a back,
In the old days the Quarterback
handled practically every pass from
center, prior to slipping it to some other
player for q thrust at the line or a
run around the end. 1t was a real job.
Old-time fans and players of the
west lean to Walter Eckersall as just
about the greatest quarter that ever
trod the gridiron. And justly so, be-
cause Eckersall was even more than n
triple threat player-he could do every
thing.
Eckersall was fast, a clever dodger.
and a brilliant man in an open field.
Besides all these assets he possessed n
real football head. On defense he was
hard, sure tackler.
He once turned a trick on the
mighty willie" Heston which no ono
else ever accomplished. bringing Heston
down from behind after the Michigan
star had broken loose into an almost
clear field : dh Graver as interference
Eckersall, Me only barrier to the goal.
line, crashed into the Wolverine run.
ners, spilled Graver and then brought
Heston to the turf.
That play still ranks as one of tho
best individual defensive efforts in the
middle west.
Twice during his football career
Eckersall booted five field goals in a
game. and against Wisconsin il
1904 he took the ball from the kickoff
and dashed 105 yards through the entire
Badger team for a touchdown.

Cambridge. Mass, Feb. 3.-lt is just
case of being a college hero all the
time with George Owen Of Harvard.
During the gridiron season. Owen

ASKS WHY BENTON MAY
PLAY In MINORS AND
NOT IN BIG LEAGUES
Garry Hermann Puts PERTH
nent Question-But to
No Avail.
Rr John b. FOSTER.

1928. by The San Antonio Light
Garry Hermann is before the bench
asking why, il player can play with
the American Association, he cannot
play with the National League. Ben
ton, last year with st. Paul, is wanted
bv Cincinnati so Garry is personally
concerned. His desire for information
is pertinent enough but Cincinnati did
not seem to be specially anxious to
make any plea for Benton while the
latter was with the st. Paul club In
1922. The matter of Benton was
threshed out before all of the National
League clubs and as the layman under
stands it, il Benton returns, Heydler
is overruled and reversed in his own
league.
Returning to the first principle,
however, it would be possible for
league not to wish to have a player
for reasons of the leagues knowledge.
1t would not necessarily follow that
tie player was dishonest. Cliques have
been known TO be formed in leagues
which had it all cut and dried to sus-
pend indefinitely players and managers
for misconduct. Ancient history of
baseball has occasionally let that cat
out of the bag. The cliques were very
seldom strong enough to move.
If the Yanks can't get a better
outfield than they had in 1922 they
may be handicapped in trying to win
the championship for the third success
sive season from that angle. Admitting
that it was not the best outfield that
ever played baseball, the question
arises how they are to get one that
is better unless they can take on Ty
Cobb and Speaker, and both of them
are getting along little.
There has been much talk about Falk
of the Sox for New York, not a bad
ball player by any means, but to win
third successive \ championship il
usually takes very well seasoned and
experienced baseball team. Unless the
other seven teams fall dead, the third
championship in congestion" is an af-
fair in which the gentle dove of peace
loses its tail feathers early and fire..
