The most notable example I can
recall along these lines came in the
Dempsey-Willard fight. Dempsey
weighed 1873 pounds that hot after
noon in Toledo, while Wizards dis
placement was at least 260.
No one ever has seen a fighter in
any better physical shape than Ma
nassa's Mauler was on that occasion,
But he was swinging on an oppo-
nent who was II pounds heavier. AS
result, Dempsey was so arm weary
after the first two rounds that he
could just about lift his hands.
Dempsey admitted after the fight
that his arms felt as if he had been
punching the side of house at the
end of the second round.
And up to that time Dempsey
hadn't taken a punch of any sort.
Jim Corbett, who had known what
1t was to fight 60 rounds or more,
couldn't understand such arm
WEAKNESS in a well-trained fighter.
Jim, as boxer, had never knocked
down a giant of Wizards size eight
or nine times, not including other
smashing blows that almost tore
away Wizards head.

BALTIMORE, March 1O.-The
Maryland Jockey Club, operator of
the Plmlico race track, wants a
modification of the State law limit
ing racing days at any one track to
80 per year.
1T is our firm belief and convic-
ton that the present allotment OF
30 racing days at any one track is
inadequate if racing In Maryland is
to continue on the same high plane
for which it Is noted" the club said
in letter to the Maryland Racing
Commission.
Other competitive racing Sec
tions" had more practical racing
laws, the letter continued, adding
that "norsemen. meaning the breed
ers, trainers and others who have
devoted their lives and energies to
racing, necessarily cannot afford to
give Maryland racing the recognition
and support which 1t always has
been accorded.
"The limited opportunities to race
horses under the present law in
Maryland preclude any more
than modified expectation of good
racing and subsequently reduced
revenues to the State"
The Jockey Club also asked for
abolishment of payment in advance
of the State per diem tax on race
tracks, adding that "the present
emergency should not be the means
of imposing further discriminatory
taxes on racing by depriving it Of
established sources of revenue"

Taylor Likes Browns
Prospects for Flag
Suffer Less Than Rivals
From Draft, Coach Says

By the Associated Press,
WINTER PARK, Fla, March 10
The st. Louis Browns. who uncorked
one of the biggest surprises of the
1912 baseball season by galloping
into third place in the final Amer
lean League standings, are apt to
do some more high-grade surprising
this year.
So says James Wren (Zack, if you
prefer Taylor. who is preparing to
leave his Winter Park home to join
the Browns for his third year as
coach.
Having weathered % years In
professional baseball, Zack is too
sagacious to risk a baldfaced asser-
ton that his pupils will take over
the mantle of the New York Yankees
those last couple of rungs are the
hardest, and plenty can happen be-
tween now and October.
Just the same, Taylor pointed out
the Browns have suffered less from
the manpower shortage or the draft
than either Of the two teams New
York and Boston) which finished
ahead of them last season, and that
is an argument of some weight these
days.
Il have the feeling We'll have a
surprise for the fans this year" he
said. Our team is definitely on the
make, and while l won't say we'll
take the pennant, just wait and see. -
Zack said he expected a squad of
30 to 35 men to be on hand for the
opening of spring training. Johnny
Niggeling, Bob Monchiff and George
Caster are being counted on for
the bulk of the mound duties.
Taylor, native of Uulee, Fla.
joined the Browns organization as
manager of San Antonio when he
was released by Brooklyn in 1886
after 16 years as big league
catcher, most of them with the
Dodgers and the Chicago Cubs.
When Luke Sewell took over as
manager of the Browns in 194l.
Zack was called in as a coach.
