Fans Wanted Action

Around the ringside at Madi'
son Square Garden sat a num-
ber Of Baer rooters, exhorting
him to win. He was favored in
the betting, and the boys who
spread their money wanted
action.
"Hit him with your right,
Max" roared one ringtser.
Round after round this ex.
hortation beat upon the ears Of
Baer as steadily as the left jabs
Of Loughran beat upon his
swollen eyes and nose.
Finally Baer could stand it no
longer. He went into a clincn
with Loughran and backed him
to the ropes.
He singled out the rooter.
"What did you say?" he called
over the ropes.
"Your right; your right. Hlt

Weakness
BY FRANK BUCK" oNETLL

ORLANDO, Fla, March IL.
Cecil Travis caused optimism in
the camp of the Nationals to
bubble by his terrific hitting in his
first real workout Of the season.
The big farmer boy from Georgia
took a light drill on Wednesday.
but confined his activities to run
ming around the outfield, and
few perfunctory slapS at the ball.
But he set his battle sights yester.
day, and the very air trembled
under the detonations of his
smashing blows.
Travis scored direct hit on one
of the light poles in center field.
He planted the ball about three
stories high on the post. 1t was
a home run on any park in the
league. Half a dozen other blows
were goood enough for the most
exacting, and one of them landed
up against the center field fence
on the first bounce. It Is a long
way out to the center field fence
down here: a real long way.
HARRIS GIVES ADVICE
Bucky Harris had a long talk
with Travis before practice and
the essence of the managers ad-
vice was: Wait for a good ball.
Then hit it as hard as you can.
Travis had had a tendency in
the past to swing at any ball, eS-
pecialy when runners were on
bases. This weakness was duck
soup for some of the smarter
pitchers in the league, and they
worked on it. Travis vows that he
will look them over with cold eyes
this spring.
Travis made 181 hits last year,
and the chances are he will do as
well this year. He is one of the
problems of the year for Harris,
who right now does not know
which place in the batting order
Travis would fill to best advan-
tage. Toward the end of the
season Travis batted in quite q
number of runs, although his
total for the season was only So.
Taft Wright continued his
smashing attacks of pitchers. He
is q power hitter, and a couple
Of his line drives found a final
resting place against the right
center field fence. Wright is not
the swiftest player in the world
mentally, according to all ac-
counts. He is apt to furnish some
quaint bits of base running, but
his throwing, hitting and field
ing are up to snuff.
Earl Mack informed Clark
Griffith via mail today that Con-
ME Mack has improved in health
since leading the Athletics to
Lake Charles for training. Con-
ME will be commissioned a Louisi-
ana colonel when he visits Baton
Rouge to play the New York
Giants.
The dope on the Athletics is
that the team is just about as
hopeless as 1t was at the close Of
the 1887 season.
When Cecil Travis scored q
bulls eye on one of the light poles
in dead center field, he set a.
style. None of the other players
was able to whack one of the
poles, although Taft Wright came
pretty close yesterday.
Earle Wynee Is the best-looking
pitching prospect among the raw
recruits. The kid has q live fast
ball, and his control Is not too
bad.
Joe Krakauskas fought himself
to a standstiu yesterday trying to
get the ball over the plate. 1t was
his worst exhibition Of the trip.
Said his arm and shoulder were
tied up.

On q line through their fights

AGAINST Western Union

By the Associated Press.
The Government agreed yesterday
to accept $1,537 900 in settlement of
go income tax claims totaling So
100000 against the Western Union
Telegraph Co., and II subsidiaries.
Some of the cases had been con-
tested since 1920.
The claims grew out of Western
Unions virtual absorption of the II
smaller companies through long
term leases of their properties.
The Government contended the
leased companies had taxable in
come from what Western Union paid
them under the leases. Western
Union contended the smaller COM
panies became virtually nonresident
under the terms of the leases, be-
cause Western Union had taken
over most of their assets.
The Supreme Court refused to re-
view the cases, but Circuit Courts
held in several cases that the Gov
ernment was entitled to tax the
small companies, but had no way of
collecting the taxes since Western
Union held their assets.
