Four games don't make baseball

TO prove TO the wise ones that this
Jack Hayes has a chance of stick.
ing in fast company for awhile.
Hayes played baseball and foot
ball down in Alabama. He WAS one
of the best performers with the
famous Crimson Tide. as the Ala
hama University football eleven is
known in Dixie. On the baseball
team he played in the shortfield.
He also shone there.
Joe Engel, scouting for the
Washington club, wanted him
to sign . contract but his par,
ents didn't seem 70 like the
idea OF his being . professional,
80 he declined. Eventually,
however, after the matter had
been put up to the young mans
parents by Johnny DObbs. the
yOungSter did sign with the
Birmingham club. Then along
came Clark Griffith who bought
the still untried yOungster.
On the nice, smooth Washington
beneh he sat and sat and sat. He
rode around the circuit in pull.

binary street cars. He played third
bare and shortstop ana right field
and left field-but all In practice.
The weeks passed and he seemed
simply outa luck, thassall.
Then. at his wits end to shake
his team out of the doldrums,
Bucky Harris pulled out Bluege and
substituted Hayes. That was last
Friday. The kid got the one real
hit off Ted Lyons that day and
handled himself nicely in the field.
Saturday he appeared in the short.
field, where he belongs. by the way.
In two games he went to bat eight
times and cracked out three hits.
In the field he continued to per.
form easily and surely.

Griffs seem to have picked up q

Tomorrow comes a doubleheader
for the Griffs against the Detroit
Tigers, who will be here for three
days. Bucky Harris is not sure Of
his starting hurlers. OF late they

OF course, If form varied only

planned by saying that the weather
or anatomical complications were re-
Bponsible: but we have all seen a

short space Of one or two holes.
IL seems to me that the only
thing we can oppose to these

is expressed by the saying,

Jim's theory involves the idea
that playing all day under a nervous
strain may be disastrously felt on
the following morning, and that
therefore it is well to relax when
one has gained a safe lead. But why
isn't it just as good to keep ones
self keyed up to concert pitch
throughout and perhaps stop the
game a few holes sooner. At any
rate it Is usually easier to meet an

OF course the usual thing to do
Is for the weaker man to build up
a defense against his opponents
blows, but sometimes his very style
OF fighting precluudes the POSSIBLE.
ity Of this. BY changing his natural
style Of fighting the man weakens
himself even more.
The secret Of my showing
against Jack Dempsey Il just
this: Jack Dempsey IL and
always will be wide open for
left jabs to the face. To the
person who does not understand

do even more for me In Chicago
September 70 when meet him
again.
I cannot only slow Dempsey
up, but can seriously interfere with
the accuracy OF his punches. A
man being constantly struck in
the face with sharp lefts every
time he rushes in loses some of
his caution when the sting Of
the blows start to tell and grows
wilder. Furthermore, they tell
me, Dempsey could hardly see
after that Philadelphia fight. Both
OF his eyes were closed after the
last bell. and when he came from
his corner to greet me, he could
not see to shake my hand, so he
threw his arms blindly over my
shoulders.
This gives me . good deal Of
confidence. ] aIn pretty certain
now that. barring the unforeseen,
i can again defeat Jack on
points. I am faster now than
was In Philadelphia and know
can pile mp . lead. But I want
to do little more than this.
There are some things I over
looked In that Philadelphia fight
things should have done and didn't
because, perhaps, was a little too
cautious. They have ranked some
during the past year and I have
worked to IRON out the rough spots
in my boxing. And I think have
been successful. September % will
tell the tale, of course, but am
pretty well pleased with the improve.
