Middleweight Division Slow;
Failed to Measure Up To Past:
Wilson Lacks Real Kayoe Punch
New York, April 5. Half a cert
itirv or so aeo Tom Chandler was
lecognized as the first "American
middleweight champion after he laid
claim to the title and whipped
Dooney Harris, who disputed his
rlaim. in 2.1 rounds. That was a
bare knuckle scrap for $5,000 a side.
Sinre that faraway (lav when
Chandler punched his way to the pin-
. nacle we have had some mighty
good middleweight. Names like
itsimmons, Papke. Ketchcl, La
Blanche, the original Jack Dcmpsey,
Jimmv Clabby, Eddie McGoorty,
Jack Dillon and Mike Gibbon?, often
referred to as the uncrowned middle
weight king, stand out boldly ill the
history of the division, and while
some of the fighters mentioned here
were not recognized as champions of
the class, they were legitimate
middles who could make 158 pounds.
Today we have Johnny Wilson,
who poked his way to the top of the
middleweight ladder less than a year
ago in Boston, when he took a. 12
round decision and the title away
from Mike O'Dowd. Since that
fight Wilson has proved for a second
time that insofar as he and O'Dowd
are concerned the middleweight
crown is resting on the right head.
The Punch Soporific.
Old timers who saw l'itz ai.il the
rest of the good old middleweight at
their best are of the opinion that
neither O Dowd nor Wilson would
have heel able to stand before them
more than five or six rounds at the
most. Those old boys were expon
ents of the punch soporific. After they
had hammered an opponent for sev
eral rounds and he did not go down
they were prone to peek behind him
to see what was holding him up.
They went into a battle to win de

cisively and they generally t.ccom
plished what they started cut to do.
There's only one answer to it all.
The middleweight division has gone
a long way back. Wilson, while a
rugged chap and a punishing hitter,
evidently does not possess' a real
knockout punch. What's more, he
hasn't any great amount of science.
His stance in the ring, with right
hand and right foot extended, makes
him an awkward opponent, and he
uses a left jab and uppcrcut with
killing force. For a boxer like
O'Dowd, who comes in swinging
with both hands, Wilson is generally
set. He has a straight right that
stops his man antl he follows ;t
quicklv with left hooks and upper
cuts to the body. This method of
defense was all too much for
O'Dowd. who was absolutely at a
loss as to solving it without taking
those wallops to the midriff Re
sult, Michael took a sound lacing and
he'll take another any time he fights
Wilson. The present champ is not
likely to go down in ring history is
one of the greatest in his division, not
even one of the best. But hi is the
best of the crop today. Here is a

fornia Grappler to Meet in
Finish Match Late
This Month.
New York, April 5. Ed (Strang-
ler) Lewis of San Jose, Cal., world's
heavyweight catch as catch can
wrestling champion Monday threw
John Pesek of Ravenna, Neb., with a
bar and arm lock after wretsling one
hour, 34 minutes and 32 seconds.
The side chancery, or head lock
hold was barred and at times the
champion seemed at a loss. ' It w as
announced Lewis will meet Stanis
laus Zbyszko in a finish match late
this month, the net proceeds going to
the suffering poor of Ireland.
Pesek was the aggressor most oi
the bout but the superior strength
of Lewis who weighed 232 pounds
to Pesek's 195 made itself felt. Lew
is received more punishment than in
any of his previous contests here.
Displaying strength and cleverness
Pesek kept after Lewis and in nine
minutes brought him down with a
painful double wrist lock. The Ne
braskan resorted to this hold fre
quently, the title holder seemingly
being unable to avoid it.
On one occasion, he used the hold
to throw Lewis over his head, al
most breaking the champion's arm.
At the half hour mark, Pesek got
a toe hold that made Lewis squirm
with pain.
Lewis centered his efforts on a bar
hold to bring back his opponent's
arm for a hammerlock, which even
tually aided him in getting the win
ning grip, after Pesek's oexterity
had enabled him to escape from nu
merous other dangerous situations.
The match was devoid of rough
work.

How to Play Second Base
Copyright, 1921, King Features Hyndlcato.
A chain lightning Drain, nimun;
legs, a great throwing arm and all
seeing eyes are needed natural as
sets for any youngster who aspires
to become a second baseman.
SPEED That is the greatest need
of all. If a youngster lacks that,
he had better try to make good at
some other position because no man
ever became a really keystone guar
dian who was slow afoot and slow
in action.
Second base, in my opinion, is a
job calling for more activity than
any other position in the game, bar
ring, of course, the battery. A great
second baseman is involved in some
way or other in most of the in
field plays.
Must Back Up First.
He must not merely guard his own
territory, but he must try to back
up the first baseman, the shortstop
when the latter is taking throws to
second, he must handle relays from
the outfield and be the general all
around utility man for the whole
team.
The second baseman's primary
duty is, of course, to patrol his
own territory. In doing that, take
a position on the far edge of the
diamond and stay back as far as is
consistent. The speedier you aro,
the farther back vou can play. But
never play so far back that you can't
reach the bag well ahead of a run
ner going from first in case an at
tempt for a double play is to be
made there.
Keep in mind that the ordinary
player can travel farther to his left
(his glore side) than to his right.
Therefore, the smart thing is to play
near to second and somewhat deep,
as you can be reasonably certain
of overtaking drives hit to your left.
Learn your batters as quickly as
possible and then play for them.
A left handed batter is always far
more likely to hit the ball in your
direction than anywhere else. But
some right-handers hit to right or
right-center just as frequently, wnen
you learn the batting characteristics
of the various men, you'll learn what
spot to stand on to "kill off prospec
tive hits.
Cross the Opposition.
With a man on first, and a left
handed "hitter at bat, the shortstop
usually takes a throw to second base
so as to .leave the second baseman
in fielding position. If the hitter is
a right-hander, the likelihood is that
he'll drive through shortstop. So the
second baseman usually goes to take
any throw to the bag.
. Root Will Battle Henry
South Bend, Ind., April 5. Artie
Root, a Cleveland featherweight, and
Bill Henry of Chicago, will meet in
a 10-round contest here April S.
Root fought Champion Johnnv Kil
bane i year ago and was bested by
a shade.
of 44 stolen bases last season.
But don't make this a general rule.
Cross the opposition once in a while
or it will cross you. If your rivals
know for a positive fact that your
shortstop always will cover second
when a left-handed hitter is up, that
hitter will try to drive through short,
figuring that the shortstop will be on
his way to second with the swing of
the bat.
The entire infield should work
with a set of signals. The second
baseman, because of his position in
the center of the diamond, usually
flashes the signals.
There must be absolute harmony
and ahsolute understanding between
the second baseman and shortstop.
Signaling is the only form of guard
ed conversation that's possible while
plays are in progress. So practice
the signalling until there is no
chance for a slip-up. The simpler the
signal, the better.
When you are to receive the ball
at second, always make it a point
to be on the bag ahead of the ball.
Don't try to arrive at the same
time, because in such a case, .you
may find yourself too busy trying
to get the ball to get the runner.
More bases .are stolen because of
failure of the second baseman or
shortstop 'to arrive at second ahead
of the rn'nner than for any other
cause.
Be Astride the Bag.
If the throw is perfect, the best
way to receive the ball is astride the
bag, or with one leg up the line a
little toward first base. That spreads
the feet apart and when the legs are
in that position, it's impossible for
the runner to execute a hook slide.
There is but one opening for him
that is between the legs. And when
he tries to go through, it- you can
put it on him without trouble.
Of course, . it isn't always pos
sible to assume such an instance.
The. throw may be wide and pull
you out of position. .The throw
may be very high, extremely low
or wide. In such a case you can't
use the leg spread. The only thing
to do then is to get the ball at all
costs and when you get it, try to
put it on the runner.
Whenever a double play is fn
sight, and you are going to take
the throw to the bag, be sure you
are in a position both to receive the
ball and also to make the throw
to first. This trick, especially that
of getting the ball away with light
ning speed, can come only from
practice.
Protect Second.
So practice that play again and
a 1,000 more agains. Practice re
ceiving throws from all angles
and practice throwing from all an
gles. Only in this way will you
become expert in the execution of
double-plays.
As a final hint, always see to, it
that second base is covered. It
must be guarded as no other base
in the game, for that's the pivotal
sack on the diamond. Once a man
gets there, he's in positio,n to score
on almost any drive or any bad
error.
So kill them off before they get
there.

Your Telephone deeds Are Anticipated
We must estimate in advance the number
of telephone users, and where they will live in
each part of the town.
When a new telephone is ordered we try to
have the wires in place, the switchboard
equipped and other intricate mechanism ready
so service can be provided without unnecessary
delay.
We must add to our equipment ahead of
present requirements, to provide for those who
will some day want a telephone.
Building for the future is expensive, but it
is part of our job.

Too Much Value
in Your Attic to
Have It Wasted
Unless
different
your attic is
from most
folks, it has a lot of old,
discarded furniture in it,
too shabby to use.
Furniture that for
some reason is so valu
able to you that love nor
money couldn't buy.
It's altogether too good
to have up there. Let's
bring it down and have
Bowen's Repair Depart
ment restore its beauty
and usefulness.
And it matters not
what the needs may be
whether it is reupholster
ing, refinishing or re
pairing of any kind our
experienced workmen
can take any kind of a
job, and do it in a rtal
workmanlike way.
Estimates cheer
fully given. Phone Tyler
3400 Bowen's Repair
Department.
