WCENTIN0 MAY EARN
BOUT WITH LEONARD
BY FAIRPLAY.

NEW YORK, April 1s.-Benny
Leonard's immediate future as de-
fender of his title depends upon the
outcome of Pal Moran's fight against
Luis Vicentino. the Chilean. At least,
1t does in part
If Luis wins Benny will have a
chance to pick up a nice piece of
change in an international battle, but
II Moran wins 1t will be almost i'm
possible to work up fever-heat inter-
est in a bout between the Italian
fighter and the champion.
The opinion of experts who have
been watching Vicentino closely is
that Pal will beat him quite soundly
Vicentino is good---for a Chilean, but
he is not reckoned to be quite good
enough II stand Moran off.
Anyway, Leonard has one good
IL this will be the top-line battle of
the summer. The reference is to
Mickey Walker. Don't worry about
this being a tame affair Leonard
will have to be at his best to beat
the welter champion and IL isn't so
sure that even at his best he can
turn the trick.
Recognizing the seriousness Of
this coming battle, Benny announces
that he will begin light training next
week and gradually work himself
into shape for the hardest battle of
his career. In the meantime Mickey
is beginning to enter upon a cam
paign of preparation against a num-
Der of setups of graduated ability.

1t is true that opportunity must
| offer for player to make such a rec
ord But to that must be added that
there are g. lot of players TO whom
| the opportunity has been offered who
failed to grab it as it went by.
Last year in the National League
Grantham tied Bancroft in the num-
Der Of games in which eight chances
were accepted. 1t happened to each
seventeen times-but there were. no
! four-in-a-row performances. Maran-
Vile followed Grantham and Bancroft
| with fifteen.
Gerber. by the way, took in thir-
| teen chances in one afternoon the
other day Usually old George Cut
| shaw used to come along with twelve
| accepted chances about the first week
OF the season and keep the other boys
exerting themselves to catch up But
| this year Cutshaw is out on the coast
and his stunt to make the kids hump
| is missing.
The indianapolis club of the Amer
ican Association is running true to
its training camp form. Down south
the Indianapolis players batted the
ball all to pieces. They are hammer
ing 1t the same way now that the
season is on. If DOME Bush can
keep up the batting speed with which
he has started. Indianapolis will club
| its way through the association
against anything but the most air
tight pitching. If ever there has
| been a minor league club loaded up
with major league material, it is this
indianapolis outfit They have at
least four players that would look
good in any company.
Rochester will give Baltimore an
argument in the International League,
and II there is a third club able TO
develop assistance, the shindy in that
circuit will be much like that in the
National, which is beginning thus
early to assume its customary tri-
angular forrn-New York, Cincinnati
and Pittsburgh.

1t is the rule in base ball to figure
that such things are to be taken
care of by the club itself
While the pitching in most amateur
games, among the teams comprising
smaller players, is not speedy enough
to break bones or anything Of that
kind, 1t will be found that the young
catcher who is equipped with shin
guards is not afraid to step under the
bat and take anything that may come
along. 1t is just as we'll to bring up
the boys not to be afraid A good
base ball, because most boys lack the
strength of arm and many of them
are not exactly certain that they can
handle pitching, even if it is no
speedier than that of their own play
mates.
Must Have Regular Glove.
The catcher's glove is indispensable.
No catcher. whether professional or
amateur, undertakes to play base ball
in these days without it Not only
does ii protect the hand, but it max es
it possible for the catcher to handle
almost any kind of delivery that
comes to him. The manner of catch
ing behind the bat has changed COM
pletely in recent years. The glove
now is the buffer that stops the ball
and the bare hand is not used to try
to hold the ball as il comes from the
pitcher.
In the old days the bare hand took
all the brunt of the speed and the
flesh was severely pounded so that
before games were finished catch
ers were pretty well used up. In
these days the glove takes that away
and a manager can rely on a catcher
holding out well for him, unless a
foul tip should hit the fingers of a
bare hand

A faulty grip and a poor stance
are the commonest faults of the
average golfer. The effects of these
are numerous-topping, slicing, pull
ing and smothering shots. Then
again, if the grip is not held prop
erly a faulty backswing will natu-
rally follow. If the stance is not
firm and correct in relation to the
ball a good balance cannot be main
tanned throughout the swing.
My advice to the average golfer is
to get grip which is suitable and
at the same time comfortable. Also
cultivate a good, wide, firm stance,
and you will be on the right road to
eliminate great many faults.

1t never will do to play ball. in
race in school or anything of that
character without having more than
one man for each position. 1t is out
of the question to get along with
only one pitcher or only one catcher.
That is trusting too much to good
luck. SO a team should have two
pitchers and two Catchers, either of
whom is quito as good as the other.
OF course, no amateur team Is ex-
peCted to carry corps or pitchers
as large as professional team, but
II the amateur nine has three good
for all of them.
AII-Round Players Valuable.
II it is possible to obtain players
for the positions of catcher and
pitcher, who also can play other posi-
tions well, so much the better, for no
one knows when a. gap will be left
on base ball nine because some
one is i'll or pitcher has a sore
arm or the catcher is laid up. 1t
is well to be provided with some one
to fill in. and more than fill in, be-
cause the mere act of being on the
field will not make q. player good
enough TO go on with a winning
team. He must show his ability in
every way with bat and ball.
practically an assistant captain, and
the good that he does acting in the
capacity of assistant captain will
help his team In every way.
For the catcher the manager should
provide shin guards If he wishes
the best results to be had by his
team. He also provides a catchers
glove. These are not to be furnished
by the catcher unless the latter
wishes 10 use his own implements.
