MULLEN FACES
OPPOSITION
NYANKS

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Competi-
ton for an outfieId job at the
Yankee training camp at st. Peters
burg next month will be pretty
keen. With a regular trio of
Meusel, Combs and Ruth, with the
nimble Witt in reserve, and such
sterling youngsters as Paschal,
Levi and Raymond fighting for a
job, it may look pretty tough for
Tommy Mullen, semi-pro slugger
from Hazleton.
His task Of winning an outfIeld
job with the Yanks might be com
pared with that Of the camel which
was told to go through the eye Of
a needle. We know nothing about
Tommy except that he broke up a
lot Of semi-pro games around Hazel
ton, Pa, last summer.
And his district is in his favor.
The coal regions have given US
some Of our greatest players, the
latest being "Bucky" Harris, Wash
ington's sensational young manager.
Others are Hughie Jennings. Steve
O'Neill, the two Coveleskies, Mike
McNally and a batch Of others.
Mullen may not be ready this year,
but those chaps from the coal re-
gions have q way of making them
selves heard. You just can't keep

series before the fact because Of
the peculiar manner in which they
seem to regard champions with
awe.
The champion can come here,
dictate terms, compel his oppo-
nent to be overweight and thus not
jeopardize his title and pet away
with it, without q single peep from
the solons who control and govern
boxing. In fact, it is the attitude
of the commission that no cham
pion should be compelled to make
weight, and thus defend his title,
but that he should be permitted
to come in at catchweights and
permit his foe to do the same
thing.
"Now what does that mean ?
Why simply that the champion
has a blanket permission to come
in here and fight as he bloody
well pleases. The battle can be
a waltz, a song and dance, or just
plain barney, and the only folk
who suffer are the promoter, who
has been victimiZed, and the cash
customers, who have been film
f1ammed."

''Griff," I used to say. there's

Gradually he became discouraged
and left me alone. But he re-
doubled his efforts on the ether
pitchers.
He used to make them train and
rehearse in front Of a mirror so
they could watch and perfect every
movement. That was before the
balk rule and Griff was a great
believer in a pitcher playing for
the runner. The baik motion was
his hobby but always insist that
pitchers who pay too much at
tention to men on base make It
easier for the man at bat.
Griff never changed me but he
had his way with Joe Boiling.

It's All Wrong.

It's All Wrong.
~ N some occasions Washington
ring fans have been film
~ flammed in quite the same
way. They paid real money, for
instance, to look at Harry Greb
toy with Jackie Clarke, Of Allen
town, Pa. They paid more good
dough to look at IZzy Schwartz
and Young Dencio dance around.
This is naming but two bouts of
many more than that.
However, as things generally
go, ring programs in Washington
are far better than being merely
ordinary. For one thing, any time
frankie Mann has anything to do
with a show, fans can put all they
have on the honesty of the pro-
gram. Mann is no wizard. He
can't say "Presto, change" and
turn tramps into champions. But
this much may be said with
out any equivocation, if Mann
puts on a card, he puts on the
best card he can find. He's al
ways trying, anyway.
Boxing as shown at the Wash
ington Barracks and Fort Myer is
always, with a few exceptions,
honest boxing. The boys in the
ring are trying to win. Colonel
Erickson, who handles the final
bouts. is experienced and will not
tolerate anything but honest en-
deavor. The same goes for Kid
Sullivan in the preliminary bouts.
Furthermore, both Kid Sullivan
and Colonel Erickson know that,
if a boxer is stalling, they can
halt the bout and throw him out
of the ring. And, in doing so,
they will have the full support of
every newspaperman watching the
show. Possibly, in Philadelphia,
the referees are not so sure.

BAUM DEFEATS

Bowen's Defeat Of Brown
Proves Feature Bout at
Barracks, However

Charlie Baum, Of Baltimore, de-
feated Jack Turner, Washington
Barracks middleweight, on a foul
in the eighth round of their sched-
uled ten-round contest featuring
the first open-air show OF the sea-
son last night and today is q
candidate for a battle with Johnny
Gill, the Pennsylvania titleholder.
Turner got away to his usual
slow start. In the second Ba I'm
claimed a foul but it was not al
lowed. They warmed up in the
most of the boxing. Turner was
staggered with a right to the Jaw
at the bell in the fifth and came
out in a hurry for the sixth which
he won by a wide margin. Baum
went to his knees for count Of nine
from a hook to the button in that
session.
The seventh saw Turner carrying
the fight to his rival and he seenTed
certain Of winning the victory until
he landed a low blow in the eighth.
Colonel Erickson Immediately halt
ed the contest and awarded the
bout to Baum.
The semi-final between Nick
Brown, Of Baltimore, and Eddie
Bowen, of Washington, proved the
big hit OF the evening. with Bowen
bouncing his rival off the floor
right merrily. Brown was up and
down throughout the mill, Bowen
mailing, him with both hands but
never being quite able to stop him.
Bowen is now in line for some fea-
