have In common with the revolution in 1905,
would have its own specific peeuliariies, which
would stamp its special features on the whole revo-

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 15.-With the
closing of his desk at American
League headquarters today, Ban
Johnson came to the end of his 27
years as league president. His resig-
nation was written, ready to hand to
the league directors Monday.
The national pastime has been kind

his investments in base ball have
brought him a fortune estimated by
some to be as much as million dol
lars. He rejected the offer TO con-
tinue his contract with an annual
salary of $4,000 until it's expiration
in 1885, when he announced last Sum
mer he would "clean house and re-
sign"
No player or manager on the dia-
mond was a more fearless fighter for
his opinions than Johnson, though
his greatest battles in the early days
were against those battlers on the
diamond whom he believed detri-
mental to the game. Firm in his be-
lief he was right, Johnson broke with

Chicago White Sox, 10 years ago, dis
solving a friendship that had begun

League.
This feud carried over into the re-
gime of Kenesaw Mountain Lands,
when the former Federal judge was
appointed base ball commissioner
From the moment of Landis' appoint
ment. johnson was his outspoken op-
ponent, though once the two shook
hands publicly when Lands seven
year term Of office was renewed.
Eventually Johnson's criticism of the
commissioner brought down upon him
the wrath Of his club owners, and
even his friends in the league could
not save him.
OF his future plans. Johnson has
said nothing except that he expects
to take long rest. Where he will
go, he said had not been decided.
s. S. Barnard, president of the
Cleveland club, has been regarded for
months as Johnson's successor. but
no official word has been given out
on his election. The Cleveland club
is one of those which Johnson has
assisted since its organization.

BY SOL METZGER.

Those golfers who lift UP the
face of their irons from the bail
when playing off turf are working
very much against the law OF aY-
erages. One hits down upon the
ball instead of through and down
into ii, if he does his <roking in
this way, and the result is far from
what it should be. Almost every be
xinner lifts the club head up. They
break the wrists right at the start
Of the upswing. having the idea in
the back of their heads that t1e
wrists must pick up the bail On
the stroke, failing to note tnat the
loft on the club face was put thers
FOR that very purpose.
A good example of what to do
q cure for this trouble--is offered In
the way Bobby Jones plays
nashie shot. He takes the club
head back, not by worrying over
taking Il back, but by moving his
hands back and together without
any wrist movement whatsoever.
The result is that Jones club head
goes back low along the ground.
And when II raverses its course and
comes into contact with the ball the
loft on this club does the JOB for
him.
One other thing you will note
about good approach players. They
invariably have a narrow stance
somewhat open and they do not
bring the club back and up over
their shoulders. To avoid that they
keep their left arm straight on the
baoksw!nG.

MASTODONS BATTLE

NEW YORK, October 15.-The mas
todons of the ring are lining up to go

n11rnose Of selecting a logical con-
tender for the heavyweight title. This
is the favorite indoor sport Tor the

cluding~ Rickard, was immensely salts

Now that the Jack Delaney-Jack

If present plans work out, Harry
Wills and George Godfrey will settle
the colored title between them October
19. Just what good purpose this fight
will serve Is question. Wills is out
of it and 1t stands to reason Godfrey
will have a long wait before he is
permitted TO tackle any of the others
booked for the elimination jamboree.

ITS WAY TO TITLE

Much Of the hope Of Colorado Col
lege for a Rocky Mountain Confer
ence foot ball championship this year
rests on the teams captain, Field
Phelps, a halfback, whose drop-kick-
ing has made his team a serious con-
tender for the last two years.
Phelps established a world inter
scholastic record for the drop-kick
f, Or years ago by putting the ball
through the uprights from distance
of SO yards. He has averaged two
drop-kicks to a game for the last two
years. Many Of them were from the
45-yard mark ard beyond. In one
game in which his team scored more
than 100 points he scored from the
field nine times and two of the drop
kicks were beyond the 45-yard mark.
The Colorado College team is coach
ed by William Vandergraf, former
University of Alabama star and an

Ray SChalk was q good base-runner;

on the base paths and who, because of
his experience in stealing bases. be-
came harder man to steal on.
WOodall Is Thiever.
Larry Woodall of Detroit discovered
this year that he had talent in run
ming bases. He is finding new thrill
in stealing a base now and then. He
admits that his success has developed
in him a new keenness for handling
opposing runners.
The catcher who is able to run bases
takes better care of the knotty de-
fensive problems than the catcher who
can't run bases. You can note the
difference between the types when
they are confronted with the situation
of having first and third occupied with
the score close.
The catcher must either throw to
second or make a bluff throw TO third
when a steal is attempted. but the big
idea, from a defensive standpoint, is
the ability to figure out whether a sim
gle or double steal is to be tried and
to act accordingly. The catcher with
the base stealer's instinct is able to
dope the situation and the catcher
who lacks this instinct generally gums
up the play.
Knowing what to do on the bases
makes n better hit-and-run batsman
out Of the catcher. His intimate
knowledge of pitchouts makes him
less susceptible to sending the runner
down on d pitched ball that the pitch
er is wasting.
Any catcher who wants to improve
himself should learn to run bases.
His experience will be invaluable.
