HUbBND and
Judgments
r THKRE ever was ny ap
prehension that llic new
Western league prexie. Frank
C. Zehrung, would not prove
a success at the helm' of this
loop, It has boon quickly dis
pelled. For tho Lincoln nmn haa slipped
under Hie wire to a flying Mart and la
clipping off the miles with all cylinders
working smoothly. By way of proof that
'.ehrung Is an unqualified success It la
only neceasary to point to tho receptions
accorded him In Des Moines and it.
Joseph. It will be romemhered that dur
ing the campaign to swing the axe over
(he head of one Tip O' Nihil, two mag
nates. Ishell and Holland, joined forces
with Tip and fought to retain hiin. Both
Des Moines and St. Joseph were O'Neill
ltles. and tho supposition that both of
these cities would be antagonistic to the
new man was only natural. But, the sup
position missed fire. Zohrung made a
solid hit with the fans of both of these
cities. He made talks before tho Com
mercial clubs and found that the fans
and business men were with him. Even
In the O'Neill cities Tip la but a memory
and a dim one at that. If Zehrung Is
given the glad welcome in Ues Moines
an.1 St. Joseph, the odds that he will be
a hit in the other cltlea of the loop
reach Into the high number. It look very
much as If Frexle Zehrung Is going to
pilot tho Western league ship In a most
uccessful manner through a most suc
cessful season thl year.
One would take It that Jess Wlllard re
Bards the public aa something to play
with. The heavyweight champ aecms to
regard hla coming match wtuv Moran in
the light of a Joke. He Is training about
thirty mlnutea a day. and lf perfunctory
training at that, according to presa dis
patches from Gotham. Apparently Wll
lard believes Moran a joke fighter and In
tends merely to bluff through the ten
rounds on the defensive and then collect
the $-17,(100. Despite' the fact that he In
stantly became popular by defeating
Johnson a year ago, Wlllard la making
hlmscir thoroughly disliked by boxing
fans all over the country by hla dilatory
and procrastinating tactics, and there
won't be any mourners at hla funeral If
Moran should be fortunate enough to tack
the K. O, sign on nun.
One Improvement In Western league
games that will be manifestly apparent
this 'v-ear. will be the Improvement in
the umpiring. President Zehrung Is tak
ing the best available. In addition, the
double system wll be employed. Where
one ump of uncertain ability called de
cisions last year there will be two of
proven competency this year.. The double
umpiring system has always proved
more satisfactory, because It makes pos
sible more accurate decisions and put
speed Into the games. The Western has
innde a wise move In returning to the
double system.
New Tork tells as that Jess Wlllard's
circus contract calls tor a weekly sti
pend of 15,000. Tommy Jones has been
hiding the Uothamltes again. Owner
nU managers of circuses are not bred
of the sucker class they play the sucker
class and they are not foolish enough
lo pay a procrastinating champ such an
exorbitant sum. especially when they
lmv thev can net him for muuh less.

Grover I-and was purchased by 8ioux

The last of the base hall suits has

LEONARD SHOWS HIS CLASS
New York Lightweight Proves He
Leads Procession by Giving:
Dundee Terrific Lacing.
SENDS ITALIAN TO THE FLOOR
NEW YORK, March 1.-Benny Ion
anl established himself at the head of
the M3-pound class by outpointing Johnny
Dundee, his closest rival. In a majority
of ten whirlwind rounds at Madison
Pqunre Garden. I-ennnrd also broke a
record by flooring the Italian lightweight
with a snappy left hook to the Jaw, It
was the first time such a thing ever hap
pened to Dundee siiu-o ho became a star.
leonard fought a wonderfully clever
battle, displaying everything that goes to
make up a great fighter. T,hp only fault
with his work was that he was Just a
shade too cautious or he might have won
more decisively. It was not until near
the end that he began to do much dam
age. Inmdee. as usual, fought with the fran
tic .vigor which la characteristic of
him.- I'rged on by the yells of his ad.
mlrers, who were In particularly good
voice, he never stopped plunging In. Con
fident that hla sturdy Jaw could with
stand his rival's blows, he took reckless
chances In the hope of landing one of his
desperate swings on the right spot.
Footwork Rare Hint.
Leonard's footwork saved lilm from
many a swishing swing that whizzed by
within an Inch of his chin. He drifted
here and. there about the ring on feet
that seemed barely to touch the canvas
and often the wildly plunging Dundee
went headlong into the ropes aa his op
ponent stepped lightly aside.
That Leonard can take a -punch was
shown In the flrat round when Dundee
nailed him on the chin with a left hook
that had every ounce of strength In his
sinewy back and shoulders behind it. It
threw Leonard against the ropes, but
he bounoed back into a clinch and smiled
in the direction of his corner to relieve
the anxiety of hla seconds. Dundee vai
very wild in hla eagerness to follow up
and Leonard coolly checked hlra with a
rigid left arm.
Dundee took the first three rounds. lie
cut out a pace that waa too hot to fol
low. Realising that hla opponent could
not stand the strain for long, Leonard
wisely held back until Dundee had
fought himself out. While the aggres
sive Italian plunged and tore Leonard
merely glided out of danger, occa
sionally shooting In g straight left.
By the time the fourth round opened
Dundee's speed had diminished some
what and Leonard set out to take the
lead. He shot a stream of Jabs to the
face and Dundee broke ground. Leonard
brought his right into action in the next
period, getting home solidly with a aeries
of uppereuts. Dundee slipped to the floor
In this round when Leonard snapped a
right to the Jaw Just as ha missed a
vicious awing.
In the eighth Leonard scored a clean
knockdown shortly after the round
opened. In an exchange of left hooks
Leonard beat him to the punch and
Dundee went flying back on his
haunches. He bounded up at ones, wild
with rage, and Leonard measured htm
coolly with a right uppercut and hooks,
cutting his lips and Jarring him to the
toes.
Both let themselves out to the limit
In the final round. Dundee was franti
cally eager, but wild. Leonard waa cool
and cautious, watching for the chance
to slip across a right that would end It.
Twice be let drive with right crosses
with everything he had behind them. The
first one missed, but the second glanced
off Dundee's Jaw. The blow was deliv
ered with such force that Leonard threw
himself off his feet.

Dartmouth and Brown Look- For
ward to Most Successful Cam
paign on Diamond.
PEINCT0N LOSES VETEEANS
NEW YORK, March 18.-The college
base ball teams have begun practice In
earnest. The pitchers have loosened
their arms with the preliminary battery
work and now the other members are
trying to find their batting eyes In the
dim light of the base ball cages.
Dartmouth la filled with glee at the
unusual prospects at Hanover. The Green
Mountain boys have always turned out
fair base ball teams, but the outlook this
year promises a championship team.
Dartmouth lost only three players last
year, Wanamaker, , Parrot t and Baker.
These were all battery men and the In
field and outfield la intact.
The most promising candidates are
Doyle, Eskelln. Perkins, Williams, Oer
rish. Murphy, Osborn and Paine. The
weakness In the box la not as bad as It
was thought at first, for Holmes, Doyle
and Kent are showing some speed and
curves which do not seem so easy to
solve.
Dartmouth, however, plans on develop
ing a heavy batting team to offset the
possible ' weakness of the pitchers. For
this reason, batting practice la playing
an Important part in the cage work, and
Coaoh Haiclton is pleased with the prog
ress shown by tils charges.
Brown, Dartmouth's old rival, is also
trying out its base ball candidates under
the watchful eye of Coach Harry Pat-
tee. Pitchers seem to be scarce In New
England this spring, and a half dosen
twlrlers are trying to persuade Pattee
that they are good enough to hold up the
honor of Providence.
The two men who have caught Pat
tee's eye more than the others are David
son and Krlckson. These two boys are
from Providence and they are making
good. Davidson is an lnflelder and
Krickson la a catcher.
Bulllvan and Healy are also attracting
attention by their assortment of curves
and speed. Brown has always been famed
for th excellence of the twlrlers, and
Pattee is not worrying much.
Quite In contrast with the prospects of
Brown and Dartmouth are the chances
of Princeton this year. Coach Bill Clark
haa lost most of his good men by grad
uation, and he frankly admits he does
not know who ,are going to fill their
places. His toughest problem Is to de
velop an outfield.
Jesse Hoyt, who had first call on the
center field position, and was elected
captain, was forced to resign and give
up base ball because of an athletlo heart.
Drlgga will probably get the Job, as he
waa substitute for Hoyt m several games
last year. Klther Tibbott or Corey, sub
stitutes last year, or Lee and Hammond,
members of the freshmen team, will get
the other Jobs In the garden.
Veterans Arc Back.
Clarke rejoices in the fact that Deyo,
Chaplin and Link are back again, and
In addition to these pitchers, there is
Warburtou, who waa ineligible all last
year. Thompson, who waa a regular
freshman pitcher, will also help out.
QUI and Salmon have graduated, and
that will cause some shifting In the In
field. Kellcher is the only first string
catcher In college, and Douglass will
probably move In from first to catcher,
while Scully will take Douglass' place.
Captain Law will be the second base
man end third II" between Shea and
llov.eU.

which have these accommodations for the
fans who demand comfort when lamping
a ball gams'.
Ducky figures on Installing some 1,000
or 1.600 of these chairs in the grand stand.

for the honor of owning the first athlete

bird. Connls reported laat week. Calla
han has been wintering In Boston.
Sioux City will not report at FeJrbury
for spring training until AprtT 1. several
days after Omaha starts at Beatrice.
Iskell Grabs Coal Miser,
Frank Isbell of Des Moines has signed
a coal miner for his ball club. The
knight of ths pick is a pitcher named
James Grant. He Is Zl years old and
halls from High Bridge, la., where he
hurled semi-pro ball last year. H els a
southpaw and made a mark last year by
whiffing nineteen men in a gams with
Adel, la., and by shutting out the crack
Atlantic. la., team, on which Artie Thom
ason and Ebsen Closman played.
Isbell Is working on the hunch that
both Ed Walsh and Benny Kauff were
once coal miners.
In a fanning bee at Des Moines the
day Isbell sprung a yarn on Roxy Mld
dleton and George Graham that Is worth
repeating.
Omaha and Wichita were playing and
Mlddlrton reached first base. Graham
was holding down second for the
Rourkes. The next man up hit a
grounder toward second. Oraham slopped
the ball, but It rolled away from him
several yards Into the outfield. Middle
ton tore around aecond and on to third.
Graham fielded the ball and glancea
up In time to see Roxy rounding third
and feinting to return to that sack. Gra
ham In a fit of peevish angnr threw
the ball down Into his gloved hand and
leisurely turned to throw It to the pitcher.
He than heard cries from his teammates
and looked up Just in time to see Middle
ton crossing the plate. Roxy walked
over to the bench, sat down and drawled
without a smile: "I guess that will shut
up the Ty Cobb talk In this league
for a few days."
Ws don't know how true this story Is,
it Isn't ours.
Patterson with t. Joseph
No more does Doe White, former White
Box star, quit the Western league than
another one bobs up. Roy Patterson, an
old White Sox hurler, haa been signed
to labor for Jack Holland's At. Joseph
club. Patterson was a great hurler in
hla day, but he's pretty much of a vet
eran now and it Is questionable to say

In Claaa A company.

POLITICIANS FALL DOWN HARD
NEW YORK, March It With the 4e
bate of the big fight drawing near and
the Interest In It increasing, "Tex" Klc
kard, whose princely offer Induced "Jess"
Wlllard and Frank Moran to sign con
tracts, and the officials of the "how
corporation, which will stage the bout.
are considering the advisability of tak
Ing out a policy for f76,O0O in Insure the
appearance of the principals In the ring
on the night of March 2i.
This would mors than cover the total
amount of the purse to be divided be
tween the two. Ths proposed policy would
cover accidents to either Moran or Wll
lard, which would mean an indefinite
postponement of the fight.
Little fear is felt by sny of those con
nected with the fight that the efforts of
either Stats Senator John J. Dunnlgan
or Assemblyman Martin McCue to induce
the legislature to prevent the bout will be
successful.
The attitude of Assemblyman McCue,
who years ago waa a familiar figure In
the roped arena and who has ever sines
taken an active interest In pugilism, on
tho WllWird-iuoran match la beyond the
understanding of those Interested In tho
promotion of It. ,r
Both Senator Dunnlgan and Assembly
man McCue Indignantly deny the report
that the failure to receive passes to the
show has anything to do wltn their hos
tility to the match.
There is also a report that the true
reason for the attacg of the leglslato-s

whole matter Is generally conceded to oc
nothing more than a tempest In a teapot.
