'The real duel in base ball IS be
tween the pitcher and the hitter
says Iris. land it is hitting that wins
the game-not the pitching.
so you must learn to stand at the
plate, to grip the bat, to place your
hits, to bunt, to sacrifice, etc. You
must bat against all kinds OF pitching.
so you won't be surprised at certain
balls or deliveries.
''If you're right handed, you grip
the bat with the right hand above
the left. For the left-hander the left
is above. The grip comes natural. II
it doesn't feel natural. the wrists and
forearms would be tied up.
Long. free hitters grasp the bat
near the end. with hands close to-
gether.
"But that fellow often swings al
bad ones. for he knows he has long
reach. Rather I would suggest grip
ping the bat with the lower hand
or inches from the end and the
other hand 2 or inches above that
Batting is a big subject. I've given
you the start of it, and maybe some
time later l can tell you more"

TERRIS UPSETS DOPE
BY LICKING WALLACE

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 19.-Sid Terris,
scrappy two-fisted fistic revelation,
today had prospects of a lightweight
championship clash with Sammy
Mandel. king of his division.
Terris. a superb boxer, but hitherto
considered light puncher. beat Billy
Wallace, Cleveland smasher. at his
own game in 10 rounds in Madison
Square Garden last night. Tex Rick
ard announced some time ago that he
would seek to match the winner with
the champion.
Terris was dropped three times by
Wallaces steaminG wallops before he
slipped from his defensive shell and
out-whaled Wallace.
Almost every round. Wallace. near
Iv swept off his feet by the fury of
the attack. nailed Terris solidly with
Furnishing lefts and rights to head and
body. But the New Yorker swarmed
all over Wallace.
SO close was the battle that one
Judge gave the fight to Wallace. the
second to Terris. The referee broke
the deadlock in Terris' favor.

~ RLANDO, Fla. March 10
Indicated return of a clever
sOuthpaw pitcher from base
~ ball limbo has converted the
Cincinnati Reds into a smiling
group of Pollyannas. From the bright
red legs of the athletes TO the beaming
face Of Manager Jack Hendricks all is
cheer.
Artie Nehf is the pitcher responsible
for the inauguration of all-smile week
in the camp of the Reds. Consigned
to the graveyard of departed pitchers
last season, he demanded a recount
and will get 1t. A great pitcher with
the Braves and Giants for IL years,
he developed neuritis last year and
could not grasp the ball. He was sold
to the Reds in May and did little all
year. pitching only 19 innings during
the season.
This Spring the neuritis has disap-
peared and he has been pitching well
in exhibition games and practice. If
Nehf is a winning pitcher, the stock
of the Reds is Immediately boosted,
for Cincinnati, in runner-up position
last year, was only two games behind
the champion Cardinals. The players
believe that the addition of another
experienced lefthander to an already
impressive staff will send them first
under the wire.
Two Other SOuthpaws.
other established left-handers are
Eppa Rixey and Jake May, with Roy
Meeker threatening to join the select
class. The experienced right-handers
include Pete Donohue, Carl Mays and
Red Lucas, Jablonowski, former Uni
versity of Michigan pitcher, and Ray
Kolp, who came from st. Paul, seem
to have an excellent chance to join
the staff.
Luque, Cubas best major league
pitcher, is not in camp and there are
hints that he may not be. Luque had
a sensational year in 1923, but has
not been able to break even since.
With the exception of possible addi-
tions of two young pitchers and the
rejuvenated Nehf the team will offer
almost the same team used last year,
although George Kelly has come from
the Giants in exchange for Ed Roush,
long a Cincinnati star. In Spring
games Kelly and Pipp have both ap-
reared at first and it remains a ques-
ton who will start at the position.
Other Places Seem Filled.
The other places seem to be filled,
although Critz has not yet reported
to play second base. The consensus
is that he will be on hand for the
opening. Ford, who finished at short
last year, will be back and Dresser
will take care of third. Babe Pinelli
and Clarke Pittenger are infield re-
serves. The Reds have a likely first
base prospect in Schwab, drafted from
Seattle, but he faces an unreasonable
task in opposing Kelly and Pipp.
Walter Christensen, who had SEN
sational season last year, his first with
the Reds, will take Roush's place In
center and will be fianked by Rube
Dressler and Curtis Walker. Bill ZitZ.
