Babe Adams, Tired of Organized Baseball, to Ask for ReledSl Babe” A Sams, the e verblooming ‘'century plant" ol baseball, may not bloom in the Pittsburgh National league baseball lot this spring. "Babe,” or Charles I>. Adams, as he is known only to his parents, an nounces he is tired of organized baseball and will endeavor to obtain his release. Ho warvts to pluv independent ball at Kenosha, tVis., tvheie he has \ been offered a.Contract at a fancy price.' If the "Smoky Cjty” moguls see tit1 to humor Babe- in his whim, it will mark the passing from the folds of organized baseball of one of the most pictuneaque "in and outers" in the gre.it pastime. ~ .\ Western Product. Adams is one of the truly great products of the Western leagtle, or at least the Tearney oirouit lias al ways pointed to him as ope of its graduates. Adams hus lq,cn pitching In organ ixed baseball for almost 20 years, starting with the Parsons, Kan., club. He afterward pastlmed with Denver in the Western league, had a short t,rial with the St. Louis Cardinals and then to Louisville, going from that Huh to Pittsburgh Jn 1909. In the world series of that year he defeated Detroit in three games, almost win ning the series single-handed. Adams decided six or seven years ago he was shout ready to retire from husebad, Harney Prey-fuss felt that lishe still had some good pitching In 1,1s arm. hut reluctantly acquiesced in Adams' request that he be allowed to play near home. .. 'Chi* veteran chose to pastime with l.o 1; Holland's St. Joseph Drummers, fie whs unbeatable ut the Western and proved himself the same old shady master of .the hurling art. The next season he was with Kansas City awhile, and then ' returned to .the Pirates. In 1921 he worked about as j well as be did in his palmiest days j and ■ it 'was largely due to his slab j work that season that the Smoky City team nearly romped home with the' National league bunting. Babe's old home was on a farm neap j Mount Moriah. Mo., but this winter j be removed to Bethany, Mo. l|e is now more than 40 years old. Cy Young I and Eddie Blank are the only pitchers to remain major leaguers until they I were older than Adams. Grier From Did Buddy. Johnny Hughes, who was a catch er with the Louisville American as sociation club in 1908 9 when Adams was burning (up that league as a slabman for the Kentucky club, is playing baseball at Kenosha, and it was through him that Adam* was of fered his contract. Other former big leaguer* who are playing in the in dependent circuit are "Hippo'' Vaughn, former dub left hander-, and Dickie Kerr, who was adjudged about the class of American league port sjders before he left the White Sox. d or several years Adams has been ill a manner tired of organized base ball. anti it has been "home, talk" that only the persuasions of Mrs. Adams has succeeded in making him keep on; for salaries of stars In the big leagues are not easily equaled.

By FRANK G. MENKE. Cop] ri|hf, 1923. HE swiftest w%y in which to start a free-for all fight these days is to circulate among a collection of fistic enthusiasts and in quire : “Well, how about this Floyd Johnson guy—how about him? Is he—or ain't he?" No fledgling maulie wiggler siiufe the days when Jim Jetiries was exciting curi osity has provoked quite so much pro and con discussion as the youthful heavy weight from the wilds of Iowa. On one ride i.« a group of battling experts which is unswervingly confident that within a year—perhaps sooner—Johnson will he .lark Dempsey's equal—per haps his successor upon the throne of pugilism. And, on the other, is an equally large and equally intelligent faction which pooh-pooh? Johnson; one which insists that he has reached his present heights due to a combination of luck, tricky management and splendid press agenting. Amt each delegation to the debate puts forth wlmt It insists are logical reasons to prove its contention. Hearken to the .tohnsonites; "Floyd has come from nowhere In a trifle more than six months, knocked eight men into the discard, scored a technical kayo over Hob Mar tin and outpointed wily ‘‘HIM’1 Bren nan by a mile. He has improved in every way with each now fight. Rapid Development. "The development of Johnson has been more meteoric than was^Jef fries’ or Dempsey’s. “Floyd Johnson, at the age of 22, with only about a year of real lighting behind him, has pretty nearly every thing a man needs to lift him to a world's championship. He has an iron jaw, a concrete stomach, wonderful speed, amazing endurance and limit less energy. He 1ms height, weight and reach that are ideal in their pro portions. “Johnson can hit with either hand now—and his left is wonderful., lie hasn't quite learned the trick of .-nap ping his blows by shortening them But that will come to him within an other month or two. "And when it does, this Johnson boy will be able to whip any man in the world." Sounds Good. Sounds pretty, doesn't it? And it listens reasonable-like, too But hearken, now, to what the other folks have to say—that crowd which cannot see Johnson as a fighter even through a Lick telescope: "Yes, indeed, yes, indeed, that dear Floyd did knock eight bozos into dreamland! But what of that? Kvefy man lie butnped to sleep was little more than a fourth or fifth-rater: tlie hoys with the glass jaws, the jelly like stomachs: then so mediocre that Benny l„eonard probably could have polished them off about as quickly as did Johnson. "Johnson scored a technical knock out over Boh Martin and gained a decision over Bill Brennan. But there was no great glory and nothing to get excited about in those conquests. For the night he took on Martin, the sol dier hoy went into the ring with one had hand, one crippled leg, and two faulty eyes. "From the second round until the 10th, Martin was practically blinded due to a terrific butt, which com pletvly dosed one eye and affected the vision of the other. Martin, blinded and limping, was blit a punching bag for Johnson. Vet Floyd, hitting with everything he had, couldn't drop him Only Belie of Brennan. "Tlie Bill Brennan which Johnson outpointed was only a relic of the teal 1 sill Brennan, lie was hog fat. slow almost to the point of awkwardness His levs were gone, his eyes soft-inns i-les, due to a long layoff All that Bill Brennan carried into the ring with him that night was a reputation and a brain. A good heavyweight could have put Brennan away that night In eight rounds—that's how slow- and out ot condition Bill was. Yet Johnson couldn’t drop him and won only he cause lie was faster than Brennan and could hit and step away. "Johnson's whole course of ring ar tioil is amateurish. lie has no real defense, ile is always as wide open as the great outdoors. He hits, or tries to Hit. while off balance. "And he almost habitually leads with Ilia right hand—just about the worst crime a boxer with champion ship aspirations can commit. I .eft Overrated. "Johnson's left hand is overrated. He landed it often enough on the boobs But as slow and as fat as Brennan was. he still was able to ren der the Johnsonian left hand com paratively harmless through the en tire 15 rounds of their fight. "But. worse, than anything else, os fas as Johnson's ring flaws are con cei tied, he seems to lack crashing, crushing force in his blows. He hits cleanly enough upon occasions and with Itis 104 pounds back of his drives "But in 10 rounds of lighting against the temporarily blinded ami leg -and-hand-t rippled Martin, and 15 against the fat ajid sluggish Bren nan. he couldn't score a single knock down. “And \ et they talk about this being the man who can whip Dempsey!" So now you have the double-bar reled story, girls and boys: there yon have about all the pro and as much of the con which is being scattered hither ami yon in fighting circles. “What's your verdict?

A host of skuting fans flocked to the park, undeterred by newspaper reports of robins in the suburbs and budding trees. The thermometer registered 35 degrees above zero. The ice fans arrived to find the flooded park a sea of mushy ice. Race officials conferred and finally sent a lone skater away for a trial lap. With skates digging s half inch in to the soft ice. the trial sprinter made two-thirds of the eighth-mile lap. then tripped and fell.
