JACK ZIVIc OUTPOINTS
BROWN IN TEN ROUNDS

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April T.
Jack Zivic, local welterweight
earned the judges decision over
Harry "Kid" Brown, of Philadel-
phia, at the end Of ten rounds here
last night.
Brown after the first three rounds
showed a clever defense against
Zivic's style of fighting. In spite
of Zivic's attempts to penetrate his
defense the Philadelphian never
was in danger of a knockout. In
the first three rounds he had the
edge on Zivic and showed he
could fight, but after these first
rounds, seemed content to cover up
and all of the Pittsburgher's wild
swinging failed to draw him out.

Keep Griffmen
Busy With Pen

AUGUSTA, Ca, April 7.--
Baseball fans all over the coun-
try have a bee for getting great
baseball players to autograph
baseballs for them, either indi-
vidually or as teams. This
spring saunter through the
South has been no exception
and the prevalence Of that hobby
has been particularly noticeable
since the Griffmen became the
world champions.
Walter johnson admitted be-
fore leaving the club to go
home that he was sure he had
penned HIS name on one million
baseballs since last October, as
he has not only covered q lot
Of ground and hit q lot Of cities
on the present skirmish but
toured the Pacific coast with
Babe Ruth last fall. He de-
clared If the thing goes on, he
will have to get himself a rub

The British seem, however, to re-
