Larger Than Bancroft


Getting pack to the recent fight
between Smith and Bancroft. 1t
would have been considered bad
is three inches taller and weighs at
least rs pounds more than Bancroft
Sending Joe Dundee, Welter champ,
against Jack Delaney, light heavy
titlehoider, gives you some idea OF
the difference OF the principals as
to size.
Delaney would be regarded as ar
awful egg ii he couldn't kayo Dun
dee, SC by a similar line OF reason
ing Smith is entitled to no great
credit for his physical victory over
the smaller and much older Ban
croft.
Not beng familiar with what hap
pened on the ball field, 1 have no
desire to comment on tho right or
wrong Cf the affair but it seems as
if Smith took no great physical
chance when he tied up with Ban
croft.
All of VI,ich brings back to
my memory an episode of the
AJN1 WCdAU SCIACS1
Catcher Smith, then of the New
York Giants, and OutfieIder
Bob MeuseI of the Yankees.
Meusel Pulled One
With the Giants at Inc time was
Emil Irish Meusel, one OF the
crack outfielders OF the National
league and brother OF Bob. Tne
two are entirely different III tenn
perament AID style. Irish" is OF
the aggressive type, Bob, always the
nonChalant.
When Bob Meusel came to the
plate in one OF the first games,
Smith began telling him that he was
yellow, gutter; very much unlike
his brother. BOB listened III silence
for time but finally said:
when l get to third base, we will
see how game you are. 1 am COM
ing iii on the first pitch and I will
be riding nigh. Ten to one you
won't be near the plate"
Reaching third base lew minutes
later, Meusel, in voice that could
be heard all over the field, shouted:

Like Old Catchers

AS matter of fact. Smith fur
nished much copy in two OF the
more recent world series.
Many OF the experts gave Smith
credit for the victory scored by
1925 classic.
"OiT' Smith, as he is called by
many because of the nature OF his
lire of chatter, is really a throw
back to the catchers OF the old
school, when it was regarded as q
part of the backstopping profession
to carry on a torrid conversation
with the batter in an ei1orJ to dis
concert him, thereby keeping him
from concentrating on the making
of base hits.
From the stands as well as the
press box, it was openly apparent
that Smith YVES saying plenty 70
each and every Washington player
rs he stepped into the hatrers box.
I am told by the uunpires III charge
of the series that much OF the chat
ter referred to alleged family secrets
that Smith insisted on broadcaStlng.

MEXICO CITY. March 22.-The
United States embassy and consul
late secured the release from jail
yesterday Of an American citizen.
Narcissus A. Cuyas, who had been
confined incommunicado since
Thursday, with the police refusing
to state the charges against him.
On the embassy's insistence it
was revealed that Cuyas. an en-
ploye Of the Sun Insurance Co.
was charged with violating the
Mexican insurance law. by defam-
ing the national insurance com
panies." This is construed as
meaning that he had told custom
ers the policies of foreign com
panies were better than policies of
Mexican companies.
Through a note which Cuyas sue
ceeded in smuggling out of the Jail
Saturday the embassy learned
that an order for his expulsion as
an undesirable citizen" had been
prepared, and that he was to have
been expelled from the country

tai valuation variously estimated at

ments would amount to contiscation.

NEW HEAD
OF AS|AT|C FLEET
Commissioner at CONSTANT
nopIe Will Succeed Admiral
Williams Next Fall.

BY the Associated Press.
Rear Admiral Mark l.. Bristol is to
be relieved as American high com
missioner at Constantinople and Will
succeed to the command of the
Asiatic fleet upon the retirement of
Admiral c. S. Williams next Fall.
Under the new agreement with
Turkey. made necessary by failure of
the Senate to ratify the Lausanne
treaty, provision is made for re-
esta blishment of diplomatic and con-
sular relations and the appointment
of ambassadors "as soon as possible. )"
Mentioned for Ambassador.
Admiral Bristol's name had been
mentioned as a possible selection as
American Ambassador. but his as
signment TO duty with the Asiatic
fleet definitely eliminates him from
the field.
An American Ambassador will be
sent to Turkey, probably before
Admiral Bristol leaves nstantinople.
No definite time for Bristol's de-
parture has been fixed. although
Admiral Williams will retire on ac-
count of age in October and will re-
turn to the United States on leave
before his actual retirement takes
place.
No Reflection on Williams.
It was made plain at the Navy De-
partment that this change in no way
reflected on Admiral Williams
creditable service as COMMANDMENT
chief of the Asiatic fleet, and there
was no intention to interfere in any
way with his handling of the delicate
situation at Shanghai and other dis
turbed areas in China.
