Chicago Points With Pride. Looking backward, the Chicago fans have a chance to "point with pride" to the fart their two major league team have won more games than those of anv other city which ha hern represented in both circuits over a period of. 19 years 1003 to 1921 inclusive in spite of the fact neither Chicago team leads its league in the composite standing for that period which appears in another column. This 10-yrar period is not selected to make Chicago's showing the best possible, hut solely because it cov ers all the span of time during which the circuits of the piajor leagues have been composed of the same teams. Py going bark a couple of years ami including 1901 and 1902. 1 he showing of Chicago could be en hanced, hut prior to the peace treaty of 1903 the circuits were subject to change. In 19 seasons the Cubs have won l58 ga:nes and the White Sox .543. making a combined total for Chicago of 3,201. In the same time the two New York teams have won 3,1-16 gans between them. The Giants lead both leagues with a grand total of 1,732 victories in 19 yearn, but during part of that time the Yankees have occupied lowly po sitions and have acquired a grand total of onlv 1,414 triumphs, which Itaves the Gotham total below the mark of Chicago. Philadelphia Ranks Third. Philadelphia still ranks third among the cities represented in both leagues in spite of the sad showing tl) Athletics and Phillies have made in recent seasons. The composite rerord of the Philadelphia teams is 2,758 victories, which is just a little better than that of Boston's two tsams. The Red Sox have won 1,549 games and the Braves 1,185. St. Louis trails everybody in the dual-league records with only 2,424 victories and 3,263 defeats in 19 years. Two one-league cities Pittsburg and Cleveland rank third in the composite standing.

TKIBUNE Photo. By RAY PEARSON. London," Feb. .25. (By Special Cable.) In a battle which went the limit of 20 rounds, a contest which seldom lacked in action and in which two master ring men of di minutive size but dazzling speed performed, the British flyweight, Jimmy Wilde, was awarded the decision .of the judges and a ref eree. It was a struggle featured by the British system of boxing against the Amer ican system o f fighting, and because Wilde scored the greater number of points points counted regardless of the force behind the blows the young Briton was handed the verdict. Wilde left the ring with the cheers of a crowd which packed Albert hall ringing in his ears, but there were ether cheers which weren't meant for the British Jimmy. They were meant for the American Jimmy who hails from Chicago. v Yanks Think Barrjr Victor. Barry was not accorded these cheers because he put up a game but losing battle; the applause sim ply emphasized the belief of the Americans present that Wilde in re ceiving the verdict had been handed something that did not rightfully belong to him. Every ringsidcrwho belongs across the ocean voiced the This is the concluding article of a aeries describing mythical fights between boxers who never have met. Many arguments are caused by fans attempting to compare stars of the past with those who later achieved fame in the ring, and this story is meant to convey what might have hap pened had Jimmy Barry and Jimmy Wilde fought when each was in his prime. opinion that the worst Barry -should have received was a draw, and there were not a few Britisher? who con curred in this opinion. It was a tough 20 rounds of mitt swinging for both boys, but despite the toughness of the going both could have continued for many more. At that, Wilde was the more weary of the pair when the final gong broke up a mixup in the center of the ring. Wilde also showed more marks of the struggle than his Amer ican rival, who outweighed him by something like three pounds. Barry's superior power of punch left its mark on Wilde, and one of British Jimmy's eyes was nearly closed, he was bleeding from the nose and mouth, and his body was pink where Barry's wallops had found contact. Barry Get a Shiner. But Barry did not escape. He carried a "shiner" which he didn't wear whea he entered the ring, and J he was spitting the crimson as he climbed through the ropes on the return trip to his dressing room, fistic science got their fill in this clash of wee performers. They saw in Barry a sturdy little fighting ma chine, the type that doesn't retreat under the heaviest of fire. In Chi cago Jimmy they gazed on a boy more than willing to trade punches with Wilde and a boy who punched hard with his right hand, forcing their native son to seek refuge jn re treat or clever blocking. Barry out punched Wilde all the way with his left hand as well as his right, but the ever-moving Wilde was a harder tar get for Barry to find than he ever had met bctorc. Wilde's Footwork a Wonder. Wilde made Rood use of his clev cmcss and displayed footwork which was a revetation to the ringsiders. In and out he danced, slapping Uarry with lefts which carried the speed of lightning. He snapped rights which lacked knockout torce to Barry a hv time and again, but these blows simply stung the Chicagoan and at no tune slowed mm up. British Jimmy found the pace as fast as he ever had traveled, too, for the American Jimmy continually kept trying, and these efforts at times were rewarded, particularly in the 12th and 18th rounds, when it seemed likely that Barry might be returned winner by a knockout. In these two sessions Barry planted solid rights and lefts to the body which took the speed out of Wilde's elusive feet and made him easier to hit. lie chased Wilde to the ropes in the 11th, and there James was forced to do his prettiest stuff to escape a knockout, for Barry sud denly switched his attack from the body to the head, aiming to land a K. O. to the jaw. The 18th round was almost a counterpart of the dangerous 11th. In this session Barry forced Wilde to the hemp with body punches, then shot for the jaw. One right bander seemed to make Wilde dizzy, but he smothered a couple of Barry's wal lops after that and finally danced out of the danger zone. He forgot offensive milling for the remainder of the session, and by doing that re covered and made a strong showing in the last two rounds.

By WALTER ECKEKSALL. In the many branches of porti which continually absorb lnterct ol athelctiVally inclined persons, many expressions are heard which arc "Greek" to the average follower ol any line of athletic activity. The dyed In Ihe wool fan, however, is familiar with the expressions and knows what they mean. In track am! field athletics, the expression "even time is heard fre quently when spriu'ers are being considered. A dash man to run UK) yards in even time means he steps the century in 10 seconds flat In referring to pole aulters, the "pull up" and "fling away" ar expres sions often heard at the foot of the pit. The pull up Is when the vault er pulls himself up on the pole by use of his arms and when he has reached the desired height he fl'ngs himself away from the pole and over the cross bar. He Lit Too Soon. "He lit too soon is another ex pression heard arounc' the running broad jump pits when reference is made to a iumpoi who did not leap as far as his coach expected. "Run ning through the hurdles" is an other pet expression used when barrier jumpers make no eftorts to clear the high sticks and purposely knock them down with the front foot. In boxing circles a good puncher is referred to f a "pitcher, while the one who receives the wallops is termed an excellent "catcher." "He held him up" is another term used when one boxer has another at his mercy and is saving his oppo nent from a knockout. In wrestling circles bouts are often referred to as being "on the up and up." This means they are on the square and both men are out to win. "Shooting matches" mean practical ly the same thing.

Many Expressions in Baseball. Baseball has many expressions. The hit and run is an expression often heard. It means that a base runner intendsto steal on the next pitched ball, and the batter must try to hit it. The squeeze play is when a man on third base gives the sign to the batter he is going to steal home and the batter must try to lay down a bunt along the first or third base lines. Series plays in football mean that two or three formations are executed in sequence from a given signal, The value of such plays is that the sec ond or third formation can be put in motion with men shifted before the defense has an apportunity to size up the situation. j crammMed Spwrts-iBy "Wag" I I, h i I a Imu talk Willi "Kid" MiUit rr lat msht, and during the iiivff.. tiKit th "Kid" f lOJ p'n't'eil tins ij'H. f J ti": Al l "1 w.
