BENCH WARMING
By Burdeffe Kinne

How often should an amateur,
or any fighter for that matter, en-
ter the ring?
That question should be serious
ly considered by managers of anna
teur fighters. for most amateurs
who perform in the valley rings
have not yet attained their major
ity, and too many fights now may
seriously injure them.
Casting aside the injury prob
lem there is still another good
reason amateur fighters should
not be allowed to battle more often
than twice month. Fighting once
and twice a week, as several val
ley amateurs did last season, soon
takes all the pep out of the bat
tiers. They become stale. And be-

and shaking his head
This is the stuff of which sports
writing is made. I repeat, saw it
all. I read the document which
said that Braddock would have to
show up some place April and show
cause why he should not call off
his fight with Joe Lewis and keep
his date with Schmeling.
1t made a lasting impression on
me. I guess it made a lasting i'm
preston on Braddock, too, because
he announced right after it was all
over that he would start training
at Stillman's gymnasium this week
for the fight with Louis.

Ace Pitcher
Perform iinq
For Pirates


The Pittsburgh Pirates are in
for two mighty tough ball games
Saturday and Sunday afternoons
in El Centre and Brawley, ae-
cording to Jack Stark, manager
of the Coca Cola baseballers who,
will meet the Major leaguerS, and
unless the National leaguers play
their best brand of ball the valley
team viii take them down the
line.
Should the Pirates use their star
hurler, Cy Blanton, however, the
valley stars are apt to find the
going difficult, for unless many
a smart baseball man mas missed
his guess, Pitcher Cy Blanton, of
the Pittsburgh Pirates. will bounce
right back this year to recover his
former ranking as one of the out
standing hurlers of the major
leagues.
After startling the country by
leading the National League slab
men in effectiveness. in his fresh
man season of 1885, the ace right
handler fell into a slump during
the first part of the 1886 race.
He was going strongly at the fin
ish, however, winning five of his
last six games. And in spite of his
offspell. he ranked third in the
league in strikeouts with 1877.
In view of his stride during the
closing stages, it is predicted that
Cy will have the opposing hitters
throwing their bats away this
year. With two types Of screw ball,
a battling downer and fine curve,
Blanton has so much stuff that
he fools even the umpire behind
the plate.
Though they had been watching
him earlier, Pirate scouts camped
on Blanton's trail in earnest when,
ON July 81, 1888, he struck out
20 batsmen while pitching a no
hit game for ST. Joseph in the
Western league.
Cy finished that campaign with
81 victories as against only seven
defeats, and led the Western
league pitchers in about every
thing possible An extraordinary
feat was the striking out of 294
men in 256 innings for the year,
an average of more than one per
inning. and a new record for the
loop.
After a spring tryout in the
Pirate camp in 1884, Cy was farm
ed to Albany in the international
league.
There he duplicated his Western
League achievement by striking
out 20 men in single contest.
Recalled by the BucS for 1885,
Blanton Immediately pitched his
way to a place among the best
pitchers in the majors. Now, fol-
lowing his unaccountable slump
prior to June, hast year, he is
ready TO go again, and it will be
great surprise if he does not
prove a steady winner for the
CorsairS and threaten some OF
the modern strikeout records.

NEW YORK, March 30.-sUe'-
Many persons have asked me in
the past ten years why I chose to
be sports writer
They wanted to know why, with
SO many promising fields open, in
cluding almost unlimited opportu-
mites in the virgin fields of llama
and yak raising, I should devote
my span of years on this earth
to anything so transient as sports
writing.
NY answer invariably has been
the same:
My professional position enables
me to witness Notwithstanding ev-
ents."
For example. take yesterdays
world shaker. Because of the fact
stood on equal social footing
with Joe Jacobs: Because I knew
Pete the Goat well enough TO call
him simply by his first name, Pete;
because I am not awed and rem
dered unfit for duty by the personal
magnatism of Mushky Jackson
because of all this, I had the privi-
lege of watching James j. Brad
dock. heavyweight champion of the
world, get himself served with a
subpoena.

of the Grand Canyon at dawn or

did you ever see the heavyweight

raped smartly on the wishbone

ments, setting forth that whereas

sides risking their own reputation
they do not put up their best eff
forts for the crowds.
Last season Graves, Lucio and
a few of the other battlers OPEN
ed the season with bang. They
kayoed opponents and had fans
standing ON their feet to cheer
them.
Graves and Lucio, however, over
did themselves. Many weeks they
would fight both in Brawley and
in Ell Centre. As a result toward
the end of the. season fans were
tired of seeing them in action be-
cause they neither possessed the
color nor k.o ability they had
shown early in the year.
Matchmakers of course are an
xious to have the best possible
cards and do not pass up a bet
to get the top notchers as often
as possible. With three clubs, San
Diego, El Centre and Brawley,
working this year there will be a
great demand for the outstand-
ing valley battlers.
So managers m st take extra
precautions in order to keep their
fighters in top condition. And the
first step in attaining this aim
is to restrict their boxers to two
bouts a month.
Softball officials have held two
meetings this season in an effort
to start plans rolling. for the loop
in Ell Centro as we'll as the valley
league but as yet have been unable
to take any definite steps.
Interest in softball has dropped
and as result not enough per-
sons were interested enough to at
tend the meeting.
According to city cOuncilmen
softban leagues will be given
the use of the ball park this
summer. This will insure better
brand of ball and bigger and
faster city league.
Another meeting is slated We'd
nesday night. Sponsors players
and the general public are expected
to attend the meeting. And unless
good attendance is on hand
softball officials may have to do
away with league plans this sea-
son.

ties in the reverse order to that in
which have named them.

only do so because, knowing some
thing Of the nature of gossip in
country district like this, feel
it my duty to scotch any such 'ru-
mors from the beginning. -.
1.-THE second possibility, that OF
suicide, is specifically more prob
able. Painful and uncertain as it
is likely to be, such a method Of
self-destruction is by no means un-
common. But DR.. Arkwright has
told us very positively that Mrs.
Kennedy was not of a suicidal tenn
permanent. Mr.. Kennedy confirmed
this with no less emphasis, and I
am inclined to accept their view.
The deceased does not appear to
have been woman given to sud-
den mental alterations, and the
facts Of the case are strongly
against a hypothesis of suicide.
was in good spirits on the day be-
fore the tragedy, and cannot con-
ceive this poor lady, with her hus-
band sleeping peacefully in the
same room, rising in the middle Of
the night with the purpose of
seeking violent death.
There remains only the third
possibility, that of accident. The
circumstances hardly admit an ac-
cident Of normal pattern. I find
it difficult to imagine the deceased
slipping or falling through the VIM
dow, which was we'll away from
the floor, while getting up to close
it, Or to draw a curtain. If, how
ever, we knew no more we would
probably have to fall back on this
as the least unlikely solution.
But it happens we have heard
great deal about these nightmares,
to which the deceased was subject.
Concrete instances have been
given, and there appears to be no
doubt that she had a tendency to
endanger herself When ii this con-
dition.
II am, therefore, satisfied that
the deceased met her death in this
way, from injuries resulting from
fall through window, caused by
bad dream or nightmare; that is,
death from misadventure. l
should like also to offer my sincere
condolences to Mr.. Kennedy.
Everything we have heard goes to
show him as a devoted husband,
full of the most tender concern for
his wife's health and welfare, and
he is deserving of the utmost SYM
pathy in his sad bereavement

sonal observation, as to whether or
not the deceased had any suicidal
tendencies ?"
st am convinced she had not.
Her attitude toward suicide was al
ways one of incomprehension. She
loved life; there was not streak
of defeatism in her temperament"
"You are satisfied that she did
not throw herself from this win
dow in moment of alteration ?"
Absolutely. The supposition is
quite incredible to me-"
"Have you had any other ex-
perience of cases of nightmare in
which the patient was liable to do
himself or herself damage?"
mot a wide experience. I have
known cases with children. They
have often been due to quite SIM
pie causes, and have been COM
pletely cured once the cause was
removed"
"But with adults 2"
"I have had personal experience
of only one case, and that by no
means a serious one. But I have
heard of cases, apparently well
authenticated. There was an
American actress who fell from
the window of a hotel bedroom,
sustaining fatal injuries. There
was no suggestion of suicide, or
any ordinary accident, and the
lady was known to be subject to
nightmares. I believe, however,
she was addicted to drugs.
st have also heard of a man il
London who crashed through a
closed window in his sleep, and
woke up clinging to a narrow
ledge outside. He called for help
and was rescued, and escaped seri-
GUS hurt. Apparently he had been
passing through period of severe
mental strain, owing to the dan
gerous and painful illness of a near
relative"
"Is it your considered opinion
that this case was similar-that
the deceased, running away from
a peril imagined in her sleep, fell
through the open window and SO
sustained the injuries you de-
described?"
cit is the only possibility I can
conceive"
'"Thank you, DR.. Arkwright."
The coroner allowed himself a
few minutes silence, turning over
his papers in a concentrated way.
There was a little stir of relaxation
when he looked up suddenly, like a
schoolmaster expecting to catch
the class misbehaving, and began
to speak.
This is a very painful and /,
very unusual case. About the
immediate cause of death there is
no doubt. This unfortunate lady
fell from a third floor window onto
a courtyard of concrete paving,
sustaining multiple injuries, in
Guiding a fractured skull, which
seems to have produced uncon-
sciousness and death within few
minutes.
| 1.-THE question have to consider
