When the Phillies first went to
Leesburg to train the natives were
disturbed at night by weird sound
which was traced to the room of Bill
Shettsline, bushes manager. And
yet they call Philadelphia a quiet
city, said the mayor of Ieesburg.
That is the loudest snore that ever
disturbed the stiffness of the most
restful place in the world. I suppose,
however, that in time we will get
accustomed to 1t as we have had to
accustom ourselves to the northern
tourists who pass our way with their
'cut-ou unmuff!ed."
The Phillies have a diamond which
was specially built for them and
the background of which is some OF
the handsomest trees in Florida.
Every now and then Cy Williams
pulls the ball into one of the trees.
He has frequently expressed regret
that the trees are not orange trees,
because If they were he would save
the owners the trouble of picking
the fruit by batting the bail hard
enough to jostle all the oranges to
the ground.
It is a fairly good diamond, this at
Leesburg, but 1t is accus. omed to go
dry for a long time. Once last year

has been willing to meet all comers.
In fect, he has become impatient at
times at the lack of suitable oppo-

1t is true, of course, thu. any Of the
so-called contenders wg1ild like Il
fight with Dempsey just to share In
the receipts. But when a man be-
comes champion the fans will not be
satisfied with an opponent who has
not some real prospects himself. The
fight fan never likes to sec a cham
pion knock over set-ups. The fight
must be one that will draw. Other
wise the purse required to get Demp-
sey in the ring could not be covered
by the receipts. i have no fault to
find with Dempsey and Kearns for
wanting big money. They arc en-
titled to 1t.
At present the fight game does not

position on the pGSl of title holders
to protect their titles rather than to
make money may kill the goose that

i champion is entitled to e, certain
amount of consideration by virtue of
his position at the top, but he must
not impose upon it.
Fighters have much more sentiment
and pride in their calling than a lot

would be content to calmly rest on

have made and never fight again

You can readily see what that

The ultimate object of all fight fans

They will patiently watch the run
