 The path of the prelim boy IS a tough one. As headliner he can demand a certain weight for his foe. As prelim he must take what the gods of fortune send Sometimes he goes into the ring not knowing who his opponent will be, nor the weight of his adversary. Oftimes the foe will outweigh him by some 20 pounds. But with the fans yelling for more he must spot this 20 pounds ard go in to do his best. That's what McGlnty has always done-his best

He knocked Battling Kelly out in the fourth round of a scheduled 10-round bout, and another boxing hero loomed across the local Armament.

on. Now, just as the ball goes over the pitchers head he intercepts It. Immediately he turns toward seconu base As he makes right turn the pitcher gets view or third oase' 1T the runner has started off third the pitcher losses the ball to that base and catches him flat footed. If the man on third holds the bag the pitcher goes right on through with his turn and nails the man going to second. Then if the man on third takes q late start for home the sec of time to get him at the plate, inc play having held him up.
 He Didn't Touch Home.
 To make that play requires the quickest kind of thinking and the quickest kind of action Also the pitcher must have sure pair of hands and never drop the ball.
 Of course. 1t would be impossible for a eft-handed pitcher to make this play with the same ease. It is an awrward turn for him.
 When the bases are full and there are not two out every man on the infield knows exactly what to do in advance He throws to the plate. The catcher then throws to first and makes double play That is copperplate play. No other plan is ever used. As the catcher does nor have to touch the runner there is plenty of time
 Even that play, though. goes wrong sometimes. We were playing Gin cinnati at Pittsburg once and had the bases full with none out. Larry Me Lean was catching for the Reds The next batter hit grounder to the second baseman who made perfect throw to the plate. Larry, after catching the ball, turned and threw to first, getting the batter But our man on third came on in and scored.
 Mclean had found the play so easy that he stood in the catcher's box to make the throw to first and forgot to touch the plate.

 Rollins to date has 1sed chiefly straight football and by reason of better team work and more individual skill has been able to triumph in easy fashion. The Floridians really made two more touchdowns yesterday than were counted. for at the end of the second period the claim wad made that time had not been called when the half was up and to prevent an argument Rollins agreed to scratch off the two touchdowns made in that period after time was supposed to have been up.
