CLICK MUST PROVE
Hes REAL SCRAPPER
BY FAIRPLAY.

NEW YORK, December S.-Joe
Click, the latest boxer to leap into
fame overnight. will shortly be called
upon to prove that his showing
against Honeyboy Finnegan was not a
mistake.
Sometimes such bouts as Click
pulled are flashes. as witness Of which
remember joey Celmars, who was
picked out Of a lineup as an opponent
for Babe Herman. Joey pasted Her
man right merrily, and while he got
some good boosts on the ba sis Of his
showing he never lived up to it.
AS for Click, friends of the BROOKLYN
boy say he is as far away from a false
alarm is signal for a warehouse
fire.
He started out fighting in the
armories and won the featherweight

tional Guard.
Then Click broke into the smaller
fight clubs and went very we'll until
getting ambitious, he forsook his class
for time and did not look so good
But he took all that came with good
grace, and awaited his chance to prove
that his experience in meeting all
sorts and all weights had done him
good.
Down came Finnegan with a chip
on his shoulder after winning the
award over Babe Herman. Click took
slap on the button. But instead of
turning the other cheek he clouted
Honeyboy so hard that the resin
looked just like home to him.
CLICK got by TO a decision that met
with general approval. All of which
shows that when you pick a sucker

accustomed to having things it's own
way.
Naturally, when the American
League decided to expand 1t was es-
sential that it should have ball players
to go with the clubs that it was
about to organize. These players
could not be obtained from the minor
leagues because the latter were in
alliance with the National League and
were protected. Indeed, that was all
the protection the minors had, as
they soon found out.
American Withdraws.
So the American League withdrew
from the National agreement after
its owners had consulted. Then there
was panic. The National was not
terrified, but the minors were, for
they found themselves caught between
two fires. The National. with the stub
born relentlessness with which they
fought all their battles, said little
In public but in private they got
ready for a fight. They still held
the American League too cheaply.
When the American League with
drew from the old National agreement
which meant, Of course, that it would
take players where it willed, whether
they belonged to the minors or to the
National League, the latter organi-
zation countered at once by declaring
the national agreement to be a non est
proposition and so all ball players

In games. They no longer choke up
on their bats. Also. they no longer use

leagues, you would discover that near.

long as rules permit. They are right
up to the last ounce. The players
hold them at the end and swing. The
long stretch and the weight and swing
provide the driving power they are
after. I can recall few players in my
time who could have used the kind
of bats that are being employed in

his hitting. For this Pete is not 50
