The proper batsman shall assume
the count that was on the improper
batsman when the mistake was dis
covered. If the count is two balls
and two strikes the proper batsman
must accept that handicap when
he is substituted
In some quarters there prevails
the impression that once a ball is
pitched to an improper batsman he
lays himself open to penalty, which
is the calling out of the proper
batsman.
This is erroneous. Not until the
improper batsman reaches first
safely Or is retired is it possible
for the team in the field to get ac-
ton on the slip in the batting order.
1t is obvious that the team at bat
should not be made to suffer if it
corrects a mistake before the i'm
proper batsman has done anything
that affected the play. The penalty
of making him take the count on
the improper batsman is severe
enough.

NEA Service Snnrts Writer

Following the very effective II
trying method OF fighting for recog-
milton instead OF buying or bluffing,
Johnny Risko mas floundered into
a position where he has to be con-
sidered as a possible challenger for
the heavyweight championship.
The blimp-lille former amateur of
Cleveland is in the singular position
of fighter branded and stamped as
no good, but so good not one of
the other heavyweights aspiring for
a chance at Gene Tunney's title can
prove it.
Following his victory over Jack
Sharkey, which shattered all of Tex
Richards plans for a colorful chal-
lenger for the champion, the queS-
ton is being asked almost universal
ly-what has Risko got that makes
him good if he is so terrible?
The question is hard to answer
His qualifications are an annoying
left hook and a concrete constitu-
ton.
Around his home town he is no
more highly regarded as a great
fighter than he is in New York. They
will tell you in Cleveland he has no
excuse for winning fights. But they
can't offer any reason why the other
fellows do not beat him.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-05-09
A Good Illustration

The point may be illustrated by a
story told by the matchmaker who
arranged the fight between Risko
and Tunney in 1925, shortly before
Tunney became the accepted chal-
lenger of Dempsey for the cham
pionship.
The matchmaker interested Tun-
ney with an offer of $4,000 and Tun-
ney at that time was not swamped
with offers in "grands:" Tunney sug-
gested he would like to talk his own
business for the first time, just for
the novelty of it, and he asked Billy
Gibson, his manager, to retire from
the room.
Nov tell me-" Tunney said to the
matchmaker when they were alone,
"just what kind of a fighter this
Risko is"
"He's just a tough bum," the
matchmaker told him.
Still Is Tough
That's what they are still saying
about him three years later.
The matchmaker quoted from Ris-
kos record that he had never won
a good fight and that he was just a
tearing-in fellow who liked to fight.
Tunney couldn't understand why he
should be regarded as being so tough
when he never won a fight. 1t could
not be explained in any logical way.
"Tell me-" Tunney then asked
again, chow does he fight? Is he a
Stand-up fighter Or"
Hes just a hooker with his left
hand and he throws himself with it.
And he's tough to hurt. That's ALL"
Maybe he's too tough" Tunney
suggested. "You know I'm working
up to Dempsey and I don't want to
look bad now"
When he was assured that it
wouldn't be a bad match for him,
Tunney said: well, getting down
to the financial part of the business,
if he is so tough I think I should
get $4,000 instead of $5,000." And
the match was made.
He Was Hard
Those who saw the fight remem-
Der that for two rounds Risko
mauled Tunney all over the ring and
looked, like a sure winner until Tun-
ney nearly knocked his head off with
right hand late in the third round
and almost caved him in with an

The Legion IN
Harlem Parade
BY CYRIL BRIGGS.

To the sound of three brass bands
and the Haunting of red, green and
black flags, the African Legion last
Sunday noon clanked through the
streets of Colored Harlem. Legion
naires in red striped black uniforms
were supported by detachments of
Black Cross nurses, Boy Scouts, U.
N. I. A. Choirs, bands playing, flags
flying, gold braided officers shout
ing orders from flying automobiles.
The Legion had modified and it
looked bad for someone. And what
was that they carried? A picture
substitute for an effigy? A picture
of Al Smith, favorite son of the
democratic party. The democratic
party, traditional and relentless foe
of the Negro workers of America.
There it was, mounted on an auto
mobile.
A huge painting of Smith.
What will the African Legion
naires do with it? This picture OF
tool of Imperialism, this picture
of the nominee of the deadly enemy
of the Negro workers. What do the
Legionnaires intend doing with it
What treatment does an enemy OF
the Negro masses deserve? But
what is this? What mockery, what
bitter jest, what base betrayal is
this What means the sign "Vote
for Smith?
Is this the way the African Le-
gion wages war for free Africa
by serving as the puppets of the
democratic party which outraged
black Haiti and turned that country
torn and bleeding, over to the repub-
lican party which finished the job ?
Is this the way to Negro liberation
Shame! Shame!
To such depths has the Universal
Negro Improvement Association
sunk as the result of the Negro mis-
leaders at it's head!
Bands playing. Flags flying, but
no masses cheering. Even the side
walks were almost empty as the
Negro workers remained indoors
grimly aloof from this treacherous
demonstration for an enemy of the
Negro masses.
