HARVARD MN {
SHOWS RIGHT
SPIRIT
Players Have Shown Coach
Eddie Mahan They

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. April IT.
II spirit counts, Harvard should
have winning baseball team this
spring. Never has there been 50
much confidence and such spirited
reaction to coaching as has been
shown since Coach Eddie Mahan
took the baseball reins.
The old football star, who was
also a firSt-class pitcher in his col
lege days, took charge OF the Har.
ward nine this year without having
ever served in a similar capacity
before. Football has always been
his forte as far as coaching Is con.
cerned. but those who knew what
Mahan could do as q backfleld
coach and handler Of punters felt
sure he would make good on the
diamond and they actually On.
gineered his appointment.
The team not only acts different
from those here In recent years,
but seems to know more baseball
just now than the average Harvard
nine since the war has shown even
weeks later. This was much in
evidence Saturday, when Harvard
won its opening game, IL to 0. de-
feating Boston University, rated as
q very ukely nine before they came
to Soldiers Field.
Mahan may have his shortcom.
ings in a close game, but that OBJ
stacle has yet to be encountered
and 1t may not prove to be such a
barrier after ALL He has not tried
to hog the coaching of the team
but frequently has gone for advice
to Fred Mitchell, Of the Boston
Braves. who is his pitching coach;
Fred Lake. old National League
manager and catcher, in charge Of
the second team, or Claude David
son, chief mentor OF the freshmen.
Everybody Is with Mahan, and
he seems bound to turn out a
team that will win considerably
more games than Harvard en-
thusiasts have been accustomed to
see slowed away on Soldiers Field
in recent years.

Insists He's through

n EFORE leaving the theater,
in which this writer has
spent many pleasant hours
and would spend many more, it
is apt to remark that Benny
Leonard, world lightweight cnam-
pion, is going through the PAGES
at Keith's this week.
This writer knows no more iTl-
telligent young boxer than Benny
Leonard. In all his ring career
he has stamped his efforts with
his brains. He is today in
dependently wealthy, though
hardly in the millionaire class.
Come to think of it, are million
aires independent?
For the benefit of those re-
formers, either long-haired men
or short-cropped women, they
should hold half an hours quiet
conversation with this lightweight
champion. It is possible, though
hardly probable, that they might
see the light. They might sud-
denly learn that all their argu-
ments belong in the ash can.
Benny Leonard insists that he
is through with the ring, yet his
interest in it will never wane.
1t is a good bet that his fun
niest reading these days is about
the muddle among the light
weights. He stands so far above
his rivals that a strong spyglass
would be necessary for him to
find the next one down the ladder
below him.
Leonard fought his way from
the bottom to the top. He domi-
mated his class for several years.
He is a good boxer and a good
fighter, and there is a difference
between the two, make no mis-
take about that.
The dowagers and the flappers
at Keith's this week must get
quite thrill when they look at
that dapper young man, Benny
Leonard, going through his act
and recall that, not having been
beaten, he stands today as the
worlds greatest lightweight pugil-
list. Perfect health stands out all
over him. No visible scars or
marks show the hard school from
which he has graduated.
Benny Leonard, trying to be
an actor, is the best boost for
boxing as a professional sport
known to this writer. He is at
once gentleman and an athlete.

Poole was a minor Lacquer in
1924. Furthermore, he did not
attract much attention, though his
home runs put his picture in many
coast sports pages. He expected
to be a minor Lacquer again this
year. He would have been, too,
either in the coast league or some
other, but for Joe Hauser's dis
tressing accident. -
Now Mr.. Poole finds himself in
the big show. How long he re-
mains depends upon himself and
his ability. If he has the stuff
and he has already started off as
q good batsman-he may stay
around quite a while.
But he sure is the center Of 9

GoIdie About Done


TT will be a truly heroic pro-
moter who books Goldie
= Ahearn in feature bout
around here for some time. His
showing against Lew Mayrs was
unappreciated, though it was good
enough in its way. His failure
against Honey Boy Finnigan at
Washington Barracks wrote
"finis" to his record in the Capt.
tai.
The truth Of the matter is that
Washington fans don't like
Ahearn's style. They believe him
timid, failing utterly to appreciate
his defensive boxing. They want
the slam-bang brothers, not The
clever boxers.
Furthermore, AheArn lacks a
punch. Claiming a punch and
producing one are horses Of diff
ferent colors. Ahearn produces
nothing even family resembling
a punch. Therein is the biggest
reason for his lack of popularity
in his own home town.
If Goldie is to appear in feature
contests, he will have to develop
some aggressiveness mixed with
a punch. Without them he will
have to do his boxing out Of town.
Honey Boy Finnigan's victory
settled that.
