It's Patrick You
Fans Can Thank

Lester Patrick, coach of the New
York Rangers, started the custom of
numbering players so that the fans
might recognize them more readily.
That was during the season of 1911-12,
when he operated the Pacific Coast
Hockey league. A few months later
the first college team was adorned with
numbers, Old Man Stagg doing the job
for his University of Chicago eleven.

ground upon which they must practice
and play is so bare of grass and packed
so hard that il one of them was to be
tossed upon concrete floor he prob
ably would think he was landing in a
feather bed.
Shrewd hOrsemen are whispering that

that-but perhaps it would be a shame
TO disturb the hard working racing

THINGS the box score never told
l. me:
Although he probably squabbles more
with the Senators than with any other
club, Ben Chapman wants to be traded
TO Washington if the Yankees decide
TO dispose of him. In the Pine Tree
league, a Maine semi-pro baseball cir
cult, they pay the two umpires SO but
the visiting team gets only S15. &.
Mike Phipps of Carnegie Steel and the
Guest brothers of Woolworth's will not
play polo in Argentine this winter "be-
cause they were not offered enough
dough" The most successful dog
track in the country probably is at Re-
we're, Mass, where the mutuel handle
often exceeds 100000 a night. One
night it hit 100000.

| leave that charge to the boys along
Broadway who know so much about so
many things.
Those who saw Carl Morris, Tom
Heeney and Jess Willard stand up IN
til their faces were crushed into pulpy
black and blue masses perhaps are
judges as TO how long a man can with
stand fists that slash at him relent-
lessly. 1t may even be that those who
watched Terry Mitchell, a preliminary
fighter who went round after round
while a discolored mass hid one of his
eyes, have their own opinions.
Yet such opinions can only be
thoughts without authority. No out
slider is qualified to say what goes on
in the heads and hearts of those who
are inside the ropes.
That Baer probably knew he was Ill
qualified TO face a strong young op-
ponent though is something else again.
Indeed the gloves that he wore still
provide mute evidence of that.
Most gloves that have gone through
a fight are wadded here and there, Of
ten soggy from the water bucket or
from sweat, occasionally stained with
the bIacker dye that is blood. The
gloves worn by the former champion
still are brown and new. There is no
dent or mark on the left one That is
as should be, for he never landed more
than a fiuttering blow with IL The
right one is only slightly marked and
stained. That also is as should be.
He landed with it only three times, and
then with no power that was con-
vincing.

ONCE IL has been pretty well estab-
~ lished by sob sisters, people who
pay 500 for 80 cents worth of card
board emitting them TO perch in the
twenty-sixth row, and by other kindred
boxing experts that Joe Louis is the
greatest fighter Of all time, perhaps the
subject could very sensibly be ducked
today. Yet, since the same well-in-
formed procIaimers of pugilistic gospel
seek to prove their omnipotence by ad-
vancing the delightful contention that
Max Baer quit cold at Yankee stadium,
il is possible that some mature consid-
Grafton will do the whole business no
harm.
Obviously Louis is one of the most
gifted young men ever to receive
100000 reward in this racket that
sometimes is known as sport. Also he
has been magnifcently trained and the
financiers who handle his affairs have
done so with rare skill.
He is a talented boxer, perhaps as
superior in this line today as Jack
johnson was 25 years ago. He hits
hard and accurately with either hand.
That the Baers, Cameras, 6irkies, Pin
rones, Browns and LeVinskys he has
battered were not laid out cold as were
various stalwarts upon whom Sam
Langford and Peter jackson practiced
is not a matter of particular moment.
Although Louis seems TO have more
love of, and instinct for, fighting than
did the ex-marine, his ring tactics more
closely resemble those of Gene Tunney
than of any other modern champion.
And, for all his eminence, Tunney also
was a fighter who bruised and dazed
his opponents when man OF lesser
skill but greater power might have fin
ished them with one blow that needed
no referees count to prove its worth
and efficiency.
Such are the facts that have been
made plain about him while he has, in

such a short space and
with such consum-
mate ease, been tri-

Camera and Levinsky.

spouting orators of America.

and the toughest job on earth-and
then handshake him and flagwave him

goes forth to see how fares the coun-

car to travel in and spends his time
on the back platform. He goes back
home to do his work and all the Wis

photographed with him on the White
House lawn. (NOTE-The exhausted
