Johnny Kilbane Holds
Ring Championship
Eleven Years

Eleven years is a long time
to hold a championship, but
that is the record of Johnny
Kilbane, featherweight title
holder of the world.
Kilbane took the title from
Abe Attel in 1912, and is still
champion, but he runs a chance
Of losing it this coming SUM-
mer when he meets Eugene
Criqui, the European champion,
and possibly Johnny Dundee,
junior lightweight champion.
Kilbane announces that he
will retire this year. May he
retire undefeated.

had an edge on the rest Of the

But both of those Williams boys
Cy and Ken-have made more horn
ers than / have so far. I'm be-
hind my 1921 and 1922 home-run
schedules.
Why?
Again / say it's just one of those
things.
Baseball is a mighty peculiar
game. A fellow knows he's hitting
well. that he feels well, is in great
condition; and yet things don't
break the way he'd like them to.
But If he tries to force his luck
things will go even worse. It's
like a poker player who has been
losing right along staying in the
pot on everything.
III he does that he'll do even
worse. You can't force your
luck i'm baseball or any other
game. You've simply got to
keep on plugging, keep control
Of yourself and wait for the
break to come. Then the other
fellows will be up against the
same trouble.
know that my eye is as keen
as it ever was. The fact that I'm.
not striking out as much as / did
last year proves it. But I'm not
getting those homers; so when any
body asks me why. / say it's one
of those things.
can't explain it any other way,
and l don't try. The season has
hardly warmed up. We've only
been going few weeks. I'm not
the least bit worried. We have
about $50 games to play That's
lot of games.
Ball players have an angle on the
game that's different from the way
fans look at it. This is what I
mean: A fan comes out to a game
and he notices that Henry so-and-so
did not get hit He thinks Henry
isn't going very well.
The next day another fan comes
out and Henry gets two or three
good blows. That fan thinks Henry
is going great.
The point i make is this: 1t
emit always be fair weather.
There neEer was a ball player
who didn't have some tough
breaks when he really was going
well. There never was a player
who didn't have his tough spells
and Slumps.
But / know that I'm not in
slump. As L say, I'm hitting the
ball, have a good average, and am
getting lot of bases on balls. I'm
simply a little behind my schedule
More power to those Williams
boys. had to chase them and
everybody else when 1 got back into
the game after my suspension last
year, and the figures show that
game for game / not only caught
them but went quite away ahead.
This year I expect to be in every
game. This baby is not going to
be suspended if he can help it.
l want homers. I won't get them
if l have runs-in with umpires and
put out. l won't get them if I'm
hurt. I won't get them if / worry
when things don't break just right.
The only thing for me to do is
to keep on plugging and let my
friends worry, if they insist on it.
But they have no reason to. The
fact that I am behind my schedule
is simply one of those inexplainable
things and nothing else.

Now it is the age OF the slow ball
pitcher or the fellow with the change
of pace, who studies his batters care
fully" continued Shawkey.
Take. for example, Eddie Rommel,
OF the Athletics. RommeI is not a
great pitcher. He was the leading
pitcher in either major league last
season in games won and lost. and
had second division club support
ing him. What is the answer? He
is smart pitcher. He has Il good
'knucltle ball. but not the Best in
the game.
He understands the value of n
change of pace, but the big secret
why ROmmel can beat clubs that
are stronger than his with such
reguIarity-iS because he studies
the bdtterS. lie is constantly
throwing to a batter's weakness.
This young fellow. Herb Pruitt,
with the st. Louis Browns, has moth
ing but screw ball 1t breaks away
from "A left-handed hitter and is slow.
and, naturally, the batter being used
TO hitting at fast ball, swings too
early and pops up"
Let me explain that" interrupLnd
Wally Pipp, seated in an easy chair
in Cleveland hotel and taking a
cigar from his mouth
IF we know n fellow has speed or
fast ball, we arc all set for a fast
one. In swinging at a fast one YOU
have to start your cut early and
swing fast. What happens If the
pitcher crosses you and throws
slow one? You either swing ahead
Of the ball or break your back strik-
ing at it,
That's why Urban Shocker of
the Browns beats us so often. He
outguesses us or crosses us, throw
ing us the things we least expect.

But the bulk of the Griffs merely
hesitate in the Capital between
trips on the road and they are 60
ing to find it troublesome even to
hesitate there when they finish
this tour.
Those players who were living in
hotels learned, much to their sur
prise, that their rooms were re-
served by the Shriners and there
would be no room for them on their
return from their present jaunt.
There has been more or less agita-
ton regarding this matter. Now
