JOHNSON
~ HAS LITTLE Joke

LITTLE ROCK. Aug. 29.-Base-
balls history is punctuated all the
way through with the idiOsyncrasies
of certain star players, and frequently
an umpire. Steamboat johnson, an in
dicator handler in the Southern As
ISOLATION. seems TO thrive on publicity,
and, if it is not forthcoming, makes
his own breaks to force it.
Recently. after a hectic game in
Little Rock during which the bleach
ers were continually ION" Steamboat
for decisions which went against the
home team. the umpire turned from
his stand near first base as the last
out was registered, strobe to the front
Of the grandstand and struck a pose
for oratory. The fans, expecting an
announcement. ceased 10 file out and
came to attention to hear the follow
ing from Mister johnson:
'And now for 4 beefsteak-foUr
feet wide, and seven feet thick"
Having freed himself of his little
speech. johnson made a profound bow
and disappeared beneath the grand
stand.

MAY SEEMS TO HAVE
ARRIVED At LAST

Jack Hendricks vouchSafed the
opinion early in the season that Jakcy
May, once with San Antonio would be
a winning pitcher for the Reds this
year. He had little with which 10
back up that statement, and perhaps
more than once since felt that his
prediction had fallen upon thin air.
But Hendricks is a sticker, once he
sees a spark of ability in player.
The other day May set the st. Lofts
Cardinals down without run and
famed eight; then followed this Up
with a neat win over the Phillics.
This would indicate that the little
left-hander, who has been up and down
in the majors, is about TO bear out the
Cincinnati managers hopes.
In short, the Reds have had little OF
Carl Mays this season, but may have
a lot Of May.
Jakey has had two previous tries
at the major league game. He was
with the Cardinals from late in 1917
TO the latter part Of 1921, but he was
never a consistent winner. In the
spring he always looked good for
spell, but generally flivvered out as
the season wore on. The Yankees trled
him late in 1922. but shipped him back
to Vernon. where he came from, the
following Spring. After another tea
son with the Coast League club, The
Reds got him in 1924.
Nav was born in Wendell, \. G.,
November %, 1896, and first got his
name in the sport pages as a pitcher
for Newman, Ga. in 1914. He was
sick most Of 1915 in 1916 pitched fine
ball for San Antonio. 1t was from
the Texas club the st. Louis Nation
ais got him in 1917. May stands five
feet eight inches tall and weighs 16l
pounds.

Clark of Bears Shows Way to League Htters With .395
BUNT IN BASEBALL
CREDITED TO STAR
OF 40 YEARS AGO

Cliff Carroll is credited with being
the first man who purposely hunted a
ball. 1t happened in Boston in 1854.
Carroll, who hadn't had much sue
cess in lining them out in the earlier
innings, stepped up to the plate in the
fifth and deliberately hunted the ball.
Up to that day every batsman swung
at ball with all his power. So.
naturally, CAROLS action not only
surprised the crowd but the Boston
Club as well.
When Carroll dropped the ball Just
half way between the plate and third
base, the entire Boston team simply
stood and looked at it and then looked
at Carroll. who could have made two
bases on it if he had tried.

DALLAS TOP HITTERs.

Waco went into something of bat
ting slump and the disappearance Of
several Cubs from the 800 division is
reflected in the loss of the club of the
leads it held last week. Dallas has
taken the lead in club batting with
.303, San Antonio has regained the
top in home-run hitting with 169 and
still holds the base-stealing lead with
Ill, run scoring with 93S and again
leads in hits made.
The longest consecutive hitting
games record of the year carried Stan
ley Benton Of Shreveport into the 300
class. Until stopped on August "a
in five times at bat by Pate, Fore
man, and North Of Fort Worth, Ben

games.
Roberts Of Wichita Falls holds the
best winning percentage. Goodwin of
Houston leads in games won with 81

ZBYSZk0 WINS MAT
CROWN FROM MUM

PHILADELPHIA April 16.-Stan-
islaus Zbyszko, 58-year- veteran,
again rules the world as champion of
wrestlers.
He regained the title he lost several
years ago by conquering Wayne Big)
Mum last night in two straight falls
and in less than IA minutes of actual
wrestling. A cleverly executed fore
arm hold earned the first fall for the
veteran, who scored the second fall
with forearm and hammerlock.
Zbyszko exhibited the same mat
prowess against his more youthful
opponent that brought him the cham
pionship years ago and clearly dem.
onstrated that Munn's great strength
was no match for the science of the
master grappler. Reaching only to
the shoulders of the giant Westerner
and weighing about so pounds less,
Zbyszko wriggled away every time
Mum tried to obtain his favorite
crotch hold and easily broke away
when he attempted jiu jitsu.
Then, watching his opportunity,
Zbyszko gained a boydhold, lifted his
opponent high in the air and hurled
him to the floor, pinning his shoulders
to the mat a few seconds later Aft
er the intermission he repeated the
performance and soon had Mum on
his back in the grip that restored to
him the heavyweight crown.
After the bout club physicians who
examined Mum said that he was suf.
fering from acute tonSilitis and that
he had tainted during the intermis-
sion between the first and second falls
The doctors said he had no fever
when they examined him before the
match.

THR0NG SEES AHEARN
BEATEN BY FINNIGAN

Honey Boy" Finnigan, former
United States Navy lad. conclusively
proved his superiority over Goldie
Ahearn of Washington, featherweight
champion of the South, at Washing
ton Barracks last night before the
largest crowd of fans in the history
of boxing within the District.
The bout fell far short of expecta-
tions. Only spasmodiC periods of real
mixing occurred. Twelve rounds Of
clinching and wrestling, with Ahearn
guilty of holding as tight as possible,
tells the whole story. The local boy
took all. that Finnigan gave without
leaving his feet. In the fourth, either
from wrestling or a punch. Finnigan
went down, but was up before a count
could be started. This was the only
instance where either boy was down.
1t is said that Ahearn's style of
milling is rather battling to Finnigan.
Maybe SO, but at that Honey Boy did
not-as on his two previous encoun-
terS with Ahearn-exhibit his famous
X. o. left.
Jimmy Waterman. United States
Navy, started out to make short work
of Tex Stovall, Mohawk Athletic Club.
In the first round he opened the In
dams right eye and everybody
count. Tex fooled them, however, and
after taking the short end in the
second, proceeded to take the initia-
tive and held the sailor lad even In
the third. The fourth and fifth found
Stovan out in front, but Waterman
came strong in the sixth and final
and. had Stovall in bad shape. 1t
was Waterman's fight.
Harry Groves, Mohawk Club, shaded
Lew Mccarthy of Baltimore in their
six-round go. The first two rounds
the boys stood toe to toe and slugged,
the Baltimorean going down in the
second round for count of two. Their
efforts in the first two stanzas tired
both boys completely, and they were
arm and leg weary for the balance
of the fight. Groves took the first
two, the third was even: fourth,
Groves, and fifth and sixth, Mccarthy.
Jack Cody OF Fort Myer pointed the
way to Jimmy Hogan of Baltimore
in four rounds. The first and fourth
were even, while Cody handily took
the second and third.
Pete Lacy, 112, of Baltimore slipped
one over on Jack Cafoni, III. of
Washington Barracks in the four
round eye-opener. The smaller man
took two rounds, Cafoni, one, and one
even.

SISTERS EYES AGAIN
TOPIC AFTER ERRORS
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

NEW YORK. April 16.-The que
ton of George Sisters eyesight, which
has troubled st. Louis fans ever since
he had to take a year off, has been
brought forcibIy to the front by the
four errors credited to him in the
opening game Tuesday against Cleve-
land. 1t must be remembered, how
ever, that in that awful contest
which the Browns lost, Il to II
Sisler made three hits.
Sisler insists that his eyes are bet
ter than they were, and that they are
entirely normal. Still, Sisler con-
tinues to hold his head with a notice
able poise when he goes after ball,
either with the bat or on the ground.
And players and managers of other
teams simply refuse TO believe that
the optics of this player, who has
been feared as Cobb has been feared,
particularly at bat, are as good as
they were.
There is one American League man
ager who is so convinced that Sisler
can't see the ball as he did that he
has instructed his pitchers 10 use
certain delivery for the Brown first
baseman-it wouldn't he fair to tell
what it is. for it is presumed TO be a
state seCret-whiCh is expected to
make it very hard for the once-cham-
pion batsman to hold his own in the
batting percentage.
Other managers and players are
convinced that balls thrown in GER
| tain manner, or which bound in a
certain manner, are difficult for Sis
ler to see. Every last one of them
has discovered some little popularity,
real or supposed. and the result Will
be that Sisler will have to play up to
| IA or Is different systems" this
| season, each of which is designed TO
| embarrasS him at bat or atield.
In the first game played by the
| Browns. it so happened that the bob
! bles made by the defeated st. Louis
team were mostly chargeable to those
PLAYERS about whom most of the eX-
| citement has centered since the Spring
| revolt began on the team.
! Sisler. manager, had four OF them:
| McManus. second baseman. who baked
| on his contract, and who was loath TO
separate himself from Illinois, because
| Cupid had him on the block, made
| three. Bennett, the outtielder, who is
| trying to take the place of Baby Doll
| Jacobson, also had three.
