PACK HEAVY PUNCH
EVEN MINUS HURST
First-Sacker Still Baking.
Pitching Continues as
Shotton's Bugaboo.
BY FRANK GRAHAM.

OF. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
25.-The Phillies are looking
~ for chance to go places
this year and judging by the
way they have been clouting st.
Louis Cardinal pitchers in exhi-
bition games this week they are
going to be in the thick of the
National League pennant fight.
Don Hurst, the hard-hitting first
sacker, still is a holdout, but that
doesn't seem to be worrying Manager
Burt Shotton. The Philly pilot is con-
fident his two stars. Chuck Klein and
Pinkey Whitney, will play up to their
best form this season and hammer out
the hits that will keep the team up
in the race.
Whitney says he feels much better
this year than last, and his fielding
proves it. He covers more ground than
any third baSeman in the league. Ask
Whitney who is the best ball player
in the game and he will point to his
not make them any faster around third
base than Whitney.
THE Phils have the batting power,
i even without Hurst, and they
plugged a weak spot on their In
field when they acquired Mickey Finn
from Brooklyn to play second base, but
they are not so well fixed In the pitch
ing box 1t will be recalled that Ray
Benge, ace of the Phils' staff last year,
went to Brooklyn in the Finn trade.
Among the veterans Of last season who
are still on Shotton's staff are Flint
Rhem, Jim Elliott, Roy Hansen, Phil
Collins, elise Dudley, John Berry and
Ed Holley.
OF his recruit pitchers shotton
speaks highly of Frank Pearce, Nash
vile product, and Charles Butler, who
hurled last season for the Durham
club. Both are six-footers. Pearce won
20 games for Nashville last year, losing
IL, while Butler won IA and lost 8.
Pitching problems are nothing new
for Shotton, however. He has had the
same trouble ever since he has been
with the Phils. The Phillies' narrow
ball park Is q hazard for mound op-
orators. More men 60 to the mound
in Philadelphia in the course Of q
year than IN any ball yard In the two
major circuits. It has been that way
for years.

CHAPTER EIGHT
By PRIMO CARNERA

Heavyweight Boxing Champion)
With the second Schmeling-
Sharkey title fight scheduled for
June, in 1882, in New York city,
I did not return to America until
early that month. Before leaving
Europe I knocked out Bouquillon,
Guhring, Cook and Schronrath
las mentioned in the previous
chapter), and also won 10-round
decisions from Pierre Charles,
Don McCorkingdale, and Maurice
Griselle. These victories impressed
continental fans.
When word came from my
American manager, William
Duffy, to return to New York. I
was in London and all set to go
exception a scheduled 10-round
match with Larry Gains, a
Canadian negro, who had been
whipping the pick of Europe's
heavies. l figured him to be
good man but I felt sure of out
pointing him, at least. And to
this very day I believe I did so,
but the decision went against me.
In June, 1882. my future did
not look especially bright. But I
scored 13 knockouts and won two
decisions in the United States
before the end of the year. It
is not a very impressive list of
victims in some respects, al
though it does include three or
four second-rate or coming
heavieS.
Knockout Victims
Since 1882 was such a year of
championship preparations, per-
haps the men kayoed by me
with the round) may merit some
attention. Here they are from
my own records: Jack Cross, 7;
Jerry Pavelik, S; Jack Gagnan,
l; Ted Sandwina, 4; Gene Stan
ton, 6; Jack Taylor, 2; Les Ken
nedy, 3; Jose Santa, s; Jack
Schwake. Z; Joe Wright, 2; Jimmy
Merriott, /; Big Boy Peterson,
2; and K. o. Christner, 4. I am
sure that in at least half those
bouts my opponents tried their
best but-the "set-up" howl was
as loud as ever.

tered him into helplessness in the
sixth round. The critics and
many fans were disappointed with
that contest, and especially with
me. 1t was a slow. battle most
of the way; the mauling was un-
interesting. Seldom can one stop
such a strong and tough fellow
as Santa with a few punches,
especially when he keeps on the
defense. He has to be mauled
open and tired before he can be
hammered down. And that is
what had to do, and did, in my
farewell to the Garden for 1882.
DecisiOned Birkie
Earlier in the year, I outpointed
Hans Birkie in 10 rounds at New
York city and repeated in return
match with King Levinsky at Chi
cago. Birkie is a promising Ger
man heavy. He was Sharkey's
chief sparring partner when train
ing recently for his second battle
with me. The wild-swinging Le-
whisky convinced Jack Dempsey in
four rounds that the eX-cham-
pion should give up his comeback
plans, but with Newell, some
experts think that King is crazy"
but ask him what he thinks of
Primo's wallop and all-round fight
ing form. LevinSky was the first
prominent fighter in America, out
side of Sharkey, to be quoted as
saying that was any good at all.
Jumping about the country
once more, by rail and air, I went
10 rounds with the promising Art
Lasky at st. Paul. There was no
decision, though the newspapers
gave me a shade. We tried hard
and it was good boxing practice
for us both.
That fall ran into another de-
feat of the Maloney-Gains deci-
sion type. This time, Stanley Po-
