should be conducted in a genteel
manner. I've mentioned the Carnera
fight camp at Carters Pier on Miami
Beach, where the colossus OF Camem-
bert held forth while training for the
bout. 1t had all the best and worst
features of Coney Island. The colos-
sus came between the shooting gallery
and the dice boards on the program.
The Camera camp doesn't prove
anything, of course There have
been other training quarters like it.
But Tommy Loughran, Americas

nice, neat and incredibly polite. II

nicely, it seemed to me, leaning back

shirt and white duck trousers, ex-
changing polite chat with Signor EMO
Fiermonte and half a dozen other
neighbors. Tommy may not have ex-
pected from boyhood to be society's
favorite pugilist, but think he enjoys
the role now.
Mr.. Loughran worked six rounds
in his final session yesterday.
He shadow boxed, skipped rope
and punched the light bag. He
trotted about the West Palm Beach
ball park a bit. Then he climbed
into costly roadster and drove home
to his temporary residence, which,

- y IdE major leagues want
their hired men to 60 out
there and show some of the
~ old Joe college spirit. My
suggestion is that the mag

ball coaches along to the training
camps to steam the boys into the
proper mood to die for dear old
Jake Rupert or dear old Sam
Breadon or even dear old Lou
Comiskey. Otherwise. am afraid
the ball players never will quite
get the idea.
It's going to be quite difficult to
make the ball players truculent on
the diamond or to get them an
tagonistic to some fellow who may
be q roommate the next week.
Most ball players realize the game
Is largely an entertainment and
while they will play out the string
in order to win-and increase the
figures on the bi-monthly pay
check-it Is questionable If many
of them will steam up good,
robust hate against their rivals.
The two big leagues have sub
merged the spirits Of their players
far too long for the athletes to
revive the old do-or-die spirit over
night.

himself a white sweater with a

and opened the season. In one of
the first games the Cleveland team
failed to score in the first half.
Recalling his Dick Merriwell books,
Deutsch stormed into the dress

Matty, Young Held Greatest Giants by McCraw
Fighting Catch Gave Biggest Thrill

McGraw had a reputation for
being able to handle eccentric or
troublesome players. Bugs Ray
mond, Larry Mclean, Heinie Zim-
norman, Chief Myers and Jim
Thorpe were some of the more
colorful characters he handled.
He tried hard, but in vain to teach
Thorpe how to hit curve-ban
pitching. He hired a bodyguard
for Raymond, but Bugs outsmarted
his manager and keeper one day
when he was handed a ball and
told to go out in the bull pen.
Raymond was missing when sum-
moned later, and McGraw discov-
cred the eccentric pitcher in a
nearby saloon, where he had traded
the ball for some drinks.
A leaping catch by Red Murray
at a critical stage of a game in
Pittsburgh years ago, just as a
terrific thunderstorm broke, gave
McGraw one of his greatest thrills.
Natty was pitching. The bat
cracked and line drive sizzled over
the infield. Then came a lightning
flash, revealing vividly Murray In
the air with his glove spearing

What does Mr.. Loughran think Of
his opponent?
We'll, Cameras chief weakness
lust now Is overconfidence He thinks
he's going to bat me two or three
times and end it right away. He
thinks I'm too little. I know he does,
because I've heard about the way he's
been training That overconfidence
of his will probably give me the fight.
Big men are always confident against
me, and they almost always lose"
VXIHAT does Mr.. Loughran think
" about the fights prospects
financial or otherwise?
'I think it's going to be an inter-
esting fight" said Mr.. Loughran,
hopefully. David against Goliath,
you know, brains against Drawn. I
don't mean to seem conceited, but
that's the way it is"
Mr.. Loughran never goes into a
fight with a grudge. because his tenn
per is too nice, but he will have one
little herring to chew with Signor
Carnera. He thinks he has been in
suited by the champions choice of
sparring partners.
Why, Camera didn't have a heavy
weight in his whole camp" said
Tommy, with controlled indignation.
THAT shows what he thinks of me-
This fellow Manley. and Miller. and
Pepper, Chopper or Stopper, or what
ever his name is! What kind of
partners are those? I resent that"
When Mr.. Loughran had gracefully
choked down his resentment for the
sake of the guests he told me about
the circumstances of his training
grind.
Gene Tunney came out to see me
and Bernard Gimbel and some
Others" he said. They were very
nice. Then I spared few rounds
with Jimmy Cromwell, Mrs. E. T.
Stotesbury's son, and Sidney Smith.
They were both boxers in college. It
was PLEASANT sort of recreation"
URING Tommy's stay at Palm
- Beach he received abundant
proof of the respect people have
for his honesty and refinement. Some
body sent in a lock of hair. Some
body else mailed him 50 to invest on
himself at the current odds. Two
correspondents contributed drawings
of Tommys shapely head.
"It looks something like Dempsey
and Benny Leonard" wrote one Of
the artists. But it's supposed to be
you"
II thought that was very touch
ing" said Tommy.
I thought so, too. I was still think
ing about it when I left the cour-
teous Philadelphian.

his own in professional ranks"
Chaplin was the seventh ranking
player in the 1925 national list.
Chaplin and Gledhill, who held the
national doubles championship with
Ellsworth Vines in 1882. will make
their pro debut in New Haven March

During his lifetime McGraw al

was his choice for first, with Frank

this, but of future fights, in case
he gets the nod tomorrow night.
Chiefly, though, through the f1llip
to his pride, for I can't visualize
Tommy packing 'em in against
anybody should the future find
him defending the title he now
seeks.
My only reason for thus devot-
ing space to what promises to be
a prize fizzle on all counts is that,
after all, the heavyweight champi-
onship is involved-Florida statutes
to the contrary Notwithstanding
and as such it automatically takes
on a certain aura of importance.
As ALREADY has been
n pointed out here, I think
Camera will win, and
we'll within the limit. but it
would be foolish to opine that
Loughran hasn't a chance,
for he has. Only one, how
ever. and that is to pile up
points with his left and rely
on ankle work for blocking"
The Philadelphia Phantom may
be able to keep away from his
heavy-1isted foe for Is heats, al
though it is doubtful, what with
time having taken its toll of the
Spring in his legs.
But suppose he does, and gets
the nod, will anybody take him
seriously as champion of the
world?

There ought to be four and pos
sibly five clubs in that fight.
Washington will be up there again.
New York's Yankees will be much
harder to beat this season. They
won't take so much for granted now
as they took with that seven-g game
lead last Summer. You'll see the big
gest improvement in Boston, with
Grove, Walberg. Bishop and others
added to this cast. Boston has been
waiting to support good teams for
some time now. Cleveland, Detroit
and Chicago have all been strength
ened, and Connie Mack may have a
surprise to offer with his young team.
4 honestly think We are going to
have two hot. hustling pennant races
with the accent on more hustling"
What about the color that is sup
posed to be slipping a little?" asked
the judge.
II think we'll have our share" he
said. Don't forget-the Babe will be
back again for a hundred or more
games Carl Hubbell will draw them
out. So will Dizzy Dean, one of the
most colorful players we've had in
years. They'll want to see Bob Grove
pitch and Jimmy Foxx hit. Blondy
Ryan still has them talking. Hornsby
is colorful figure. Chuck Klein will
make Chicago STOP look and listen.
Therell be plenty in the way of color,
but, after all, the thing that counts
Is pennant race where several teams
have a chance. Nobody can get
worked up over a one-sided parade.
I'll admit 1893 wasn't so good, I"
the Judge continued. CAS- a matter
of record, this writer understands 13
major league clubs lost money. But
conditions were dragging bottom last
Spring and Summer-that went for
everything, everywhere. They are en-
more dollars around.
From all I've been able to gather
there is much keener general inter
est all along both circuits. Base ball
hasn't slipped bit. You'll find that
out this season in both leagues, with
so many more people back at work.
You'll see far bigger crowds in New
York, Chicago. Boston and Detroit
also in Washington. And if Brook
lyn comes through, you'll see some
records broken there. What a base
ball capital that place IS"
As the years slip along, the white
haired judge seems to build up his
vitality and general enthusiasm. The
vital spark is burning brighter than
in many years. He turned in a II
at golf to show that the old swing
was still operating Any team lacking
color ought to stick the judge in cen

Ruth and McGraw, waged battle

McGraw was often charged with
