In this way. n manager runs no risk
Of losing an important contest by
starting a recruit of undetermined
worth
However, few managers are fortu-
nate enough to have combination
of four pitchers. who can stand the
gaff. In these days of smuggling, for
a pitcher to stay on the. rubber nine
innings is the exception rather than
the rule. It is common instance to
see six pitchers. three on side, in n
nine inning game. Often az many as
eight pitchers take part. but this con-
.dition is created by the temptation
to insert pinch hitter for the pitchers
who DO too much waving at the plate.
Pitchers have their idiosyncrasie
and the manager must take heed.
Some cannot do their best work un-
less they have four-day' rest. Other
hurlers can pitch the first five or six
innings in gilt-edge style and then
are ready to blow up. The pitcher
with the softest berths are the ones
retained for their ability to beat one
or two clubs in the circuit. ~.

Gene Tunney was to have another
secret boxing session today, the Sec
ond since he resumed active training
Thursday for his coming fight with
Tom Heeney in New York.
Tunney did eight miles Of road
work and boxed four rounds behind
drawn curtains. It was the first time
since the Chicago fight Tunney put
on the gloves and rumor came out
that he was missing punches and
generally in need Of this form of
training. He left the enclosure in a
serious mood.
Word was given that none but
Tunney's trainers would be permit
ted to see him for several days. He
punched the bag Thursday before a
large crowd, but ordered curtains
dropped when the sparring began.
Gene boxed two rounds with
Charles Rosen, East Side welter-
weight, and Billy Vidabeck, light
heavy, both of whom appeared none
the worse for their work. Tunney
carried a scratch over his left eye.
Tunney now weighs 1919 pounds, ten

Bout on Foul

On behalf OF Bcbbie williams I wish
to prefer a sincere apology to the box
ing fans of Indianapolis and the TT
Harrison management, for the disap-
pointment occasioned by his performance
against Howard Bentz, Tuesday evening,
June 10.
We make no comment on the referees
decision which adjudged Williams guilty
OF an unintentional foul. but we are wor-
ried by the thought that the unfortunate
occurrence. may have endangered the
fans good WILL which we prize highly
Williams never before lost a fight on
Williams is young in years and green
in ring experience. He is impetuous, q
hard fighter who neither gives nor asks
for quarter, but he is a real sportsman
in the very best sense of the word They
don't come any better than Williams. He
had the fight well won, and in his
anxiety to win he may have been reck-
less. Experience, will correct that fault
and Tuesdays bout has been an in
valuable lesson to him.
The postponenlent unquestionably af-
fected the form of both of my boys. Will
liams started slowly and link was
below his usual self. link Is IS years
ard months of age, has been boxing
one year and had sixteen fights. VIII
liams is only FL and Tuesdays bout was
his twenty-seyenth flght-so he really
is only new hand. Yours
