who have prac

the annual spring
task of Ironing
out veteran kinks and gauging the
worth of rookie talent.
fans who flock through the turn
si lien for the opening American and
National Deague games Tuesday will
view probably a greater array of new
fares than any recent season has wit
neased. Reports gathered from the
various outfits show that more than
RO newcomers have earned th.ir
spurs for 1924, resulting In sbnkeup*
that appear most noteabl* In the
ranks of the New York filants, Brook
lyn Dodgers and Boston Brave* In
the National league and the I’Uladel
phla Athletic* and Boston Red Sox In
the Junior circuit.
XX ith the exception of the Cincin
nati Red* and New York Yankees,
major change* have occurred in the
lineup* of every contender. And
the Red* and Yankees, while re
maining intact outside thp battery
positions, have added new blood to
their pitching corps and strength
ened their reserves.
Taken as a whole, the club* In both
w heels appear better balanced than In
several season*. This I* particularly
true of the American league, where
such second division outfits of 1923
a* the Red Sox and Athletic* have
teen strengthened to *uch a degree
that they appear among tha outgtand
Ing obstacle* In the path of the world
champion Yankee*.
»*■» t.cncral preseason opinion, how
ever, has selected two club* In each
circuit a* those most likely to upset
the drives of the Yankee* and
(Hants to set baseball history by
capturing pennant* for the fourth
straight year. In the American,
these are the Detroit Tigers and
< lev eland Indians, while the bul
wark of anti-Gotham hope* In the
senior organization are the Red*
and Pittsburgh Pirate*.
Six of the club* start the season I
undei ned leadership. Four of the*
are In the American league, with Lee
Kohl. In charge of the R*d Sox,
Frank Chance taking the- helm of
the White Sox, Stanley Harris |

Slsler will attract twofold Inter.>:
for besides his showing as a pllo

Ilaltc Ruth, after a spectacular

nRK you weary of witnessing
crude youngsters masquerading
as professional rlngmen who
have an exhibition of sound boxing
to offer club patrons? Does the slam
bang, hit-or-miss style strike you as a
painful burlesque of what boxing
should be? Or do you enjoy It and
find It something delightfully Homer
ic, despite Its fla\or of darker ages?
Jack Hkelly, famous old time fight
er, Is an "ancient" with modernistic
urges. Progressive thought* and ac
tions are usually reserved for the
youth of the land Hence Hkelly be
comes unusual. He has a new Idea,
although some may label It a* the
outburst, of a graybeard with an "old
timer complex '
At any rate, Mr Hkelly ha* a new
Idea which is Important If for that
reason only.
He believes that the boxing public
should l>e spared th» agony of watch
ing youngsters perform who haven't
the faintest notion of what scientific
boxing means, of course, as Mr.
Kkdly admits, these stupid encoun
ters frequently result In considerable
excitement, copious blood lifting and
the like. However, the Yonkers sage
believes both the boxer and the fan
should be above such moron de
lights. He subscribes to the belief
that there Is nothing worse than Ig
norance In action, lie thete barrels of
sincerity and fun In the display.
The plan, at least, brings the writ
er this reflection: That the American
ring exhibits more untaught perform
era than any branch of sport he r/iii
think of. It Is cluttered with a quag
mire of unachooled youngstera who
think that a tough Jaw and a good
punch ars all that are needed to win
a championship. And the drab part of
It. Iii that mc«t nf them hi e neither
the purn h nor the Jaw.
No hall player ever reaches th*
major leagues until be has shown
signs of marked talent. And even
then he Is put through a tost gradu
st« course of hitting, base running
and general field tactics by the big
league manager. The major league
fan la treated to the finished product.
Collegiate football players are
coached thoroughly in all branches of
Ihe g.itne for n yen- before they arc
selected for a team. And there Is tbn
same stern and thorough attention
to rrew candidates. The rowing
resell has his candidates hard St It
even during th* wlnt'r months On
th* row ng machines In the gvm he Is
slr*d up for g*net»| films, end Is
then taught his position in the host,
feathering, the play of the legs, the
side, th* catch, the recovery, and so
on.

who will meet Villa In a scheduled
10-round ronteet In Toronto Wednes
day night unless there is an el*x*n*h
hour postponement.
This bunt virtually will prepare
Villa for a battle with Genaro, who
Is the most worthy foe for the
champion, and who has signed up
with Jimmy Johnston, New York
promoter, for a contest with Villa
as soon a* the open air season gets
under way and Is waiting anxiously
for Villa to accept terms.
According to British boglng crltl*-s

Aah la the best boxer sent to thl*

In th* Toronto engagement, which

and, like mW small English boxers.
Ash !# a light hitter. He cannot be
expected to knock out a tough, fast
fellow Hk* Villa, who 1* a much

and Ash s only chanc# to get the
