CHAPMAN CLAIMING
RING CHAMPIONSHIP

BOSTON, March 2S.-Charlie Car
dio, manager of Red" Chapman OF
Chelsea, a featherweight who re-
Gently defeated Johnny Dundee in
Boston, announced today that Chap
man would claim the world feather
weight championship
His action is based on the claim
that Dundee, who laid down the
featherweight mantle several months
ago, again is in competition and
would remain champion until actually
defeated by boxer in the class.
Kid Kaplan of Meriden, Conn
chosen as a result of a recent tourna-
ment in New York, has been generally
recognized as featherweight cham
pion.
Chapman was within the limit OF
the featherweight class at the Of
fetal weighing-in time. and so in de-
feating Dundee he took over Dun
dees claims to the title" Cardio said
fState boxing commissions cannot
make world champions, and Dundee
because he is still in competition, re-
mained champion until he lost to
Chapman Monday night. Now Chap
man will claim the title because he
has earned it,"
NEW YORK. March 2s.-"Red'
Chapman's claim to the worlds
featherweight boxing crown is no,
taken seriously in metropolitan box
ing circles despite the victory he
scored over Johnny Dundee, former
title holder, in Boston.
James A. Farley, chairman of the
New York State Athletic Commission
refused to be quoted as to Chapman
claim today, but he intimated thai
Chapman may find the bars lowered
against him in this State after Tues
day when the commission meets
again.
If the usual policy is followed
Chapman will be banned for six
| months for having boxed Dundee
who is on the suspended list in this
State. The commission suspended
Dundee after similar action against
Kim by the French Boxing Federation
for refusing to fulfill scontract to
meet Fred Bretonnel, French light
weight, in Paris.

bases on balls in the next inning
settled down to some real pitching.
Gets Into Trouble.
Knauss' trouble started in the third
after Adams singled, Stanley doubled
and Garvin came through with his
four-ply smash.
This ended the scoring for the
Brooklanders until after two were
out in the seventh. Then, when IL
looked as though Mitchell had hit
into an easy out, Wondrack threw

singled to left, crowding the bases.

STABLE FIRE FATAL
TO SIX RACE HORSES

ORLANDO. Fla, March 2s.-Six
race horses, in Winter training here,
were burned to death today. when a
10-stall frame building of the White
Stables was RACED by a fire of un-
determined origin. The horses were
valued at approximately 100000.
F., L. Parrin of Cincinnati, lost his

year-old colt. Somebody. each valued
at approximately $1,000.
A two-year-old filly known as

Farms of Lexington also was lost. A
low estimated value of $4,000 was
suggested.

ship, two-year-old filly, owned by
Richard Baird of Ontario, valued at
$4,000; Guy Sentinel, owned by George
Tipping of Cleveland, and a pony
owned by Gibson White, son of Ben

horse while doing rescue work, but
returned to the burning stable twice
before falling unconscious.
A search was being made for four

fire.

If you are playing left field, make
break for any bali hit to the right
of the center fielder. Back him up
on the play. The right fielder should
do the same thing on balls hit to
the left of the man in center. Center
fielder should back up his mates
whenever possible. Too much stress
cannot be laid on this phase of de-
fensive play. Attention to these de-
tails will help win many games.
{Outfielders should work well to-
gether and coach each other in where
throw is to be made il there are
mon on the bases. Get as close
ssas5 possible to the man who is taking
: the ball and size up the situation for
him. He can't try to watch for the
play before he gets the bali.
If a ball is hit to right field, or
r1ght-center with man on first base,
the left fielder should get in line with
the throw and back up third base.
The right fielder should back up first
base when a ball is hit over third
Alert players never fail to remember
these things
Stationary outfielders are of no help
to club. Learn to roam the field
and cultivate your sense of direction
on batted balls. Watch the signals
relayed to you so that you will have
an idea as to what the batter is up
against and where he is likely to hit
the ball.
The center fielder needs to be a bet
ter man on ground balls than either
of his mates. He has plenty of such
plays come up. To make them sue
ceSsfully he has to come in on the
ball much as the infielder does and
handle it quite as surely. Next, he
has to get the ball away mighty fast
He also has to be an accurate e
thrower.
The center fielder should take every
ball possible that is hit back of an
infielder. He Is coming In facing the
ball and has a much better view than
q player running back and forced to
make the play over his shoulder.
If a man tries to steal second the
center fielder should move in fast
and take his position back of the
bag. Then If the ball gets away from
the man covering, the outfielder will
be In a position where he can save
an extra base. Failure to remember
this is certain to prove costly in the
event of a wild throw
The center fielder will do we'll to
practice his throws to the plate He
should make allowance for when the
ball IS TO bound from the dirt of
the pitchers mound and when he
throws it to bound from the turf
Let the right fielder make the same
allowance when he throws to third
base and the ball hits the base path
or the grass.
Your chances for success as an out
fielder viii be improved If you are
q good base-runner. Managers and
coaches like to see an outfielder who
can steal plenty of bases. They rely
on them for the running attack. Cobb,
Speaker, Carey and Rice are the type
mean In the big leagues.
Tomorrow other Hints to the Out
aetNer.

differences of opinions, but few Of
them are serious. However, some
have been trying to make a mountain
out of a molehill in discussing Harris
refusal to modify his training pro-
gram with respect to Johnson.
The great pitcher, eager to get into
condition quickly and believing he
might be benefited by a longer stay
at Tampa or by going directly to
Washington to complete his training
instead of taking the transforming
trip, asked permission of Harris TO
do one of these two things. Harris
did not agree with the pitcher, de-
Gliding it would be best for him to
travel with the others Of the squad.
That settled 1t. Johnson Is to go
with the squad and he is not dis
gruntled by Harris refusal to change
his plans. The Nationals are working
in harmony. They have tasted cham
pionship glory once and would have
more of 1t.
Playing ability plus harmony are
necessary to success. Playing ability
is largely a matter of physical
mechanics and base ball intelligence
Harmony may be inspired or enforced
by fearless and fair direction The
Nationals are not like ely to lack either.
