The boy who hopes to make good
as third baseman should make sure
he has a strong arm before setting
his heart too much on filing the
place. Bear in mind that you will
have many long throws to make.
Taken by and large you will have
more OF these pegs than any other
inflelder.
The third baseman doesn't have to
be as shifty on his feet as short
stop or second baseman. He doesn't
have as wide range of territory to
cover. But he must possess nice
sense of direction on a batted or
thrown ball. He can't afford to make
any false moves.
All in ALL l should say the trait
most desired in a third baseman is
the ability to locate the ball after he
has knocked it down. If you play
the position you are relatively close
to the batter. Many hard hit balls
will be knocked in your direction,
particularly when there is a right
handed batter up.
The ball Will often come at you SO
fast that there will be no chance to
handle it cleanly. Your job then is to

The universities could not come to-
gether on date for the affair The
Westerners wanted an early date and
since the Madison sweep swingers do
not get on the water until well into
April Harry Vail, the coach, decided
that his men would not be in condition
for competition physically nor suffi-
ciently far advanced in technique.
Even as matters stand crew pros
poets at Wisconsin are not regarded as
overly bright. Five men of the eight
which finished as runner-up to Wash
ington at Poughkeepsie last Summer
have been graduated. and while the
sophomores who have replaced them
come up to specifications as to build
and weight they are inexperienced.
The 1924 Badger crew was the
product of two years Of intensive coach
ing and training and Vail fears that at
least a year must elapse before the
present outfit can be compared to the
men who sat in last years ship.
Wisconsin is getting a new shell and
Vail is working with the idea Of hav-
ing the Red and White eight slide
next June in an honorable position II
not at the head.
Vail, by the way, now ranks as the
grand old man of rowing. His hair is
thinner and whittier than it used to be.
He is over go years old.
Yet he is still able to sit in the SHE'LL
seize a sweep and hold up his end with
the lustiest youngsters. Last Spring,
for instance, in an effort to adjust the
rhythm Of the stroke, he hipself took
an oar and rowed the Smile distance
under racing speed.
The South will see more Northern
college base ball teams this year than
ever before. In addition to the Eastern
mines who win take advantage of the
Spring sunshine in Dixie almost all the
Western Conference teams will go
south OF Mason and Dixon's line within
the next week or so.

Action Dazes Rickard.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 25.-Jack
Dempsey, champion heavyweight, re-
tanned his title in a. telegraphic bout
with the New York State Athletic
Commission yesterday. but the right
handed swing of the officials tore the
paint from Boyle's Thirty Acres in
Jersey City. dazed Tex Rickard for
tho moment and pushed the negro
challenger, Harry Wills. back into his
chair.
From all indications the blow
missed the champion. but it shook
about everything else in pugtlism
BY placing Dempsey on the Ineligible
list, the commission put every heavy
weight, every manager of heavy
weights and every promoter in the
land on guard.
New Yorks rulers of the ring had
sent Dempsey a challenge filed re-
Gently by Wills, but the champion
pursued waiting game. The officials
led again, with a 15-day ultimatum.
Still the champion waited.
Perhaps the moguls thought him
lacking in alertness, for in the next
move they swung the heaviest blow
they ever have delivered. From the
Pacific Coast came the news that the
punch had landed Dempsey some
where in the motion picture lots and
he could not be located.
Hits Jersey Arena.
Not satisfied with taking the 1000
mile swing at the titleholder, the
commission became belugerent and
srsote the prospect of taking a
championship bout to New Jersey
when it was made known that pro-
:noters associating themselves with
Dempsey will suffer suspension also.
Richard thereupon announced that
he would do nothing to antagonize
the commission, and that the matter
of a Wills-Dempsey contest, so far
as he is concerned, must await the
time when Dempsey comes to terms
with the New York body.
Paddy Mullins, manager of Wills
also was one of the casualties, for
he, too, will be barred in New York
If he is connected in any way with
a match in which the champion is
one of the principals.
Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager,
who futilely waved a white sheet of
paper with black markings upon it
as a measure of truce, said after the
verdict that matters must take their
course, that Dempsey wants to fight
and will meet any one, anywhere,
whenever a suitable proposition is
made and he is assured of the pro-
moters reliability.

ASKS FOR OLD BALL;
GETS IL new ONES

CHICAGO, March 25.-Harry Saw
age, jr., New Britain, Conn, 15-year-
old captain of a base ball team, will
receive a dozen brand-new big league
base balls instead of an old one for
his team.
The youngster wrote Maj. John l.
Griffith, executive vice president of
the National Amateur Athletic Fed
Grafton, which is conducting a cam
paign to revive amateur base ball
among youths, asking for an old ball.
The boy added that the finances of
his organization had been reduced to
80 cents.
When George HUFF, director of ath-
letics at the University of Illinois,
and a firm believer in boys sports,
was advised of the appeal today, he
volunteered to send the balls.

PALUSO FIGHTS TERRIS
IN LIGHTWEIGHT SCRAP

NEW YORK, March 25.-Lew Paluso
of Salt Lake City and Sid Terris,
New York lightweight, will meet in
a l2-round bout tonight.
Terris hopes to win a return match
with Sammy Mandell of Illinois, who
defeated him recently and took away
his chances of being crowned king
of the New York Athletic Commits
sion's tournament to provide a sue
cessor to Benny Leonard, who retired
from the championship recently.
Paluso, just out of the feather
weight division, is making his first
real bid for honors in heavier class.

9 1t will be noted that Dempsey S
title has not been declared vacated, as
a lot of fans seemed to think would
be done. So all Dempsey has to do
when he wants to defend his title is
to knock at the gate.
5. Dempsey, now that he is sus-
pended by the New York body, Will be
sitting prettier than ever. No one
will badger him for a fight if only be-
cause he is ineligible to do battle. So
he can take his own sweet time about
entering the ring.
4. Technically he is put out of the
boxing game not only in New York,
but in important States and foreign
countries which have working agree
ments with the Empire State. Thus,
if New York stood by its guns and
the other States stuck by New York
the champion would be in for long
period of idleness, and in time his
title would be vacated and turned over
TO Harry Wills. But this is not likely
to happen

stop it. Knock the ball down some
way. After this comes the very diff
fcult task of recovering it. Young
sters find this extremely hard.
You should practice until you sc-
quire the extra sense of knowing
where the ball falls after you knock
IL down. You should be able to tell
from the manner in which it strikes
your hand approximately where il
has bounded. Constant drill in field
ing practice is the only way to de-
velop your bump of location.
Another phase of these plays, on
which the youngster must work
faithfully. is schooling himself to
pick the ball up cleanly after he has
almost automatically located it. Let
one of your mates work with you
after regular practice hours il you
find you are weak on locating the ball
and picking it up without hesitancy
once it has been knocked down.
The good third baseman pounces
upon such balls, seldom making a
false move. He learns to reach in
the right place and come up with
the ball in his hand. Teach yourself
to make one grab. and that a sure
one. You will likely miss the play on
the runner IL you have to pick sew
eral times before getting sure
clutch on the ball.
What applies to the picking up of
hard hit balls that you knock down
is also applicable to bunts. Here is
where the principal part of your play
depends upon a sure pickup. You
can't take several stabs at the ball
and have time to make a play on the
bases.
When it falls upon you to field a
bunt or slow roller you have to get
in on the ball fast. pick it up and
throw to first, if the play is there, In
almost the same motion. If you are
coming in and have to throw to first
don't forget to shoot for mark a bi,
to the right of the first baseman
Your forward movement will carry
the ball to him.
The third basemar must make
quite as much of a study of hitters
and base runners as any of the other
infielders. Like the second basemar
and shortstop, he often has to time
his throws and fielding chances tc
suit the speed of the runner. He will
be governed how to play the hitter
by the latters style.

July is rapidly making up for any

proved that when "Old SOL" gets

that it has lost none of it's old time
vigor. A daily temperature well above

there has been no reports of crops
suffering as yet, unless rain comes
soon, they will be seriously affected
as a great deal of moisture is needed
when the sun is drawing such quaint
