BECAUSE OF POSTPONEMENTS

f.TTNTIti Jess Wlllard arrives In Now York nnd traliiH before the boxing experts
-U of tho Knst, nstto fans will boiflkoptlcnl about tho comlnp bout between tho
' thamplon nnd Prank Moran. There- lias been so irnlrh tnlk, postponements and
".nfavorablo comment concerning tho bout that rlngsldo followers will refuso to
cnthusa until they aro certain that tho bout will talo placo March 25, and
that tho champion of tho world will bo In good enough shapo to put up a
'teal battle.
Desplto tho Immcnso advantage Wlllard will havo In weight, height and
nireach, public Bontlment Is gradually turning toward Mornn. Thcro'nro few
Who bellcvo at this time that Morau could defeat tho conqueror of Jack Johnson
"In a. long battle, but with tho champion apparently In poor shape, overweight, and
aturally slower than ho wn when ho toppled Jack Johnson, tho opinion pre
vails that tho Plttsburghor Is likely to win on points.
,r"' Although Tex Rlckurd, promoter of tho match, announced yesterday that
"$Vll!ard had completely recovered from his recent illness, It is no suro thing that
ho will not Hnd It necessary to ask for another postponement. J'orhaps Wlllard,
as tho clmniplon.'ls entitled to niwthor postponement, but It he should ask for It,
the request probably will bo denied, ns Rlckard believes another postponement
would cause the public to loso Interest.
Tex Rickard Is in
Rlckard is in far deeper than ho

lic that ho is In shapo for the battle and has worked out In Now ork for a
fow days, tho Interest will again run high;) but, until that time,. the fans will
continue to take only a passing Interest In tho bout.
,"" That tho public has not taken to tho match as much as had been expected Is
"evident. Tho promoters wero expecting a record-breaking demand for reserva
tions, but to dato tho fans havo not fallen over themselves trying to purchase
xtickots. Several well-known local ticket speculators, who had Intended to load up
with tickets for tho bout, declare that they aro not going to tako any chance
'"'Until they sco a greater demand. Tho ticket speculator generally havo an
t "excellent idea of tho way public sentiment Is running,

nil' Many Surprises in Boxing World Last Night
t Not in years havo so many upsets and surprises occurred in pugilism on
rtho same day as did last night. Jimmy Murphy, who looked llko tho best bet
ta Philadelphia boxlpg 'circles, tnsted his tlrst defeat by the knockout route, when
Benny Leonard stopped him. Leach Cross, tho votoran New York lightweight,
hWos punched into dreamland by Mil burn Saylor, and Johnny Dundee, picked as
o.&n easy winner for his contest with Joe Mnndot, was outpointed by tho New
'Orleans lightweight.

.Morris and Boer Rodcl, camo back and Instead of being tho recipient of n
knockout scored a decislvo victory over Dick Smith. Charley Thomas was de
feated by Tommy Carey, who was looked upon as a "has been" In flstlana.

Davenport and Plank Still Holding Out
Fielder Jones declares that ho will not permit Kddlo Plank nnd Davo Daven
port to go South with tho Browns unless they sign their contracts Immediately,
(fhese two stars, generally considered tho best southpaw nnd right-hander, re
spectively. In the Federal League, had contracts which ran out last fall. They
neglected to sign for 191C, hoping to got nnothcr war-tlmo contract, but peaco has
i completely upset their plans.
IS$ If either should sign, tho other probably will bo forced to accept a contract
calling for about half what ho received last season, but If each holds out, until
both havo received satisfactory terms, tho Browns will bo in a bad way and
trobably will bo forced to meet their terms.

St. Louis Owners Face Hard Problem
It is ono thing for tho magnates to say that a player must take what Is

"'Aggregation, depending entirely on what theso Individuals show. Tho Browns
float Phil Ball In tho neighborhood of $050,000. Ho expects to get back a large
part of this amount this season by giving St. Louis Its first pennant contender

Apparently ho has tho material at hand to do this, but Plank and Davenport

Ball to pay cither man what ho received last season, but If ho expects to get
Eddie Plank's signature to a contract which Is cut almost In half, ho is likely
Jtto And that tho former Mackman canlivo In comfort without drawing a pay
qbeclr this season. It is unfortunato that tho holding out of theso stars was
glven publicity, as It will not improve tho harmony in tho team, especially if Doth
men do eventually sign contracts calling for o cut.
Sinclair Is Being
Finding that hocould not bluff tho Now York National Leaguo Club into
ipaying a large sum for Benny Kauff, who ho claims is really tho property of
"the Indianapolis American Association team. Owner McGIll, of Indianapolis,
,has decided to enter suit against Harry Sinclair. McGIll alleges that' Sinclair
had no right to sell Kauffs release, as he did not belong to him.
' ' Just to keep Sinclair In "hot water" and to remind him that ho Is not
through with baseball yet, tho Ward estato has entered a similar suit to recover
tho amount paid by tho Yankees for Leo Mageo and tho Giants for Benny Kauff.
The Wards also claim that Sinclair had no right to sell either of these stars, as
"they were rightfully .tho property of tho Brooklyn Federal Leaguo Club. As a
matter of fact It is odd thnt Sinclair should bo permitted to sell the players of
one of tho few Federal League Clubs which fulniled its obligations.
Buffalo- German Five Still Cleaning Up "
The famous Buffalo German basketball team has completely outclassed every
team It has met during Its Western trip, and In Detroit defeated tho equally
famous Rayls quintet by a one-sided score. Tho Germans havo odd-looking
uniforms and 1805 is stamped on the back of each player's jersey, Indicating
Ibat the team was organized that year.
" These numbers mystified some of tho fans In Detroit, and Just at a time
'When tho Germans were raining goals through the net, ono fan said to another
.flWhat does that 1895 stand for?" ) '
"That Is their high score for a single game." said the second fan. "It looks
,M If they will break It tonight, doesn't It?"
Mack's Judgment Went Astray on Jim McAvoy
Unless Jim McAvoy, tho lanky catcher of the Athletics who was released to
Baltimore, can perform a wonderful come-back, It will be ono of the few instnnces
-where Connie Mack's Judgment has gone astray. McAvoy was one of tho few
' youne players joining the Mackmen who have received Mack's indorsement after
IA brief trial. Connie said last winter that he expected McAvoy to develop Into
one of the best catchers in the country In 1915 and that is why Wally Schang
was tried at several positions.
Mack felt so certain that he had a coming star In McAvoy that ho wanted
-to utilize Schang's great nll-round ability in another position, but after being
given a chance to work regularly McAvoy went to pieces. Mack may believe
tha another season with Dunn will develop McAvoy into a high-class catcher,

j Harry Wolverton Has Hard Fall
Just after signing a theatrical contract, Joe Corbett, brother of the former
heavyweight champion of the world and a pitcher of the famous Baltimore Orioles
ol 1895, announced that he was goipg to try to stage a "come-back" In baseball.
He applied for a position on the San Franclscq Club of. the Paclflo Coast League,
receiving a contract from Harry Wolverton, which ho signed.
Corbett got columns of free advertising for his act. He has not pitched for
it years, is 45 years old, and any one wh6 could possibly fall for such, bunk is not
suitable for a managerial berth In such a high-class league. Baseball has had
enough unfavorable Incidents within, the last two years, without permitting the
Same to become, a side show to a theatrical ogtmcy. ,

A pitching prize.
Tako a Ilttlo tip from Mordecai Brown,
you would-be pitching greats. Follow
tho time-honored adago entitled "early to
bed and early to rise, makes n man
healthy, wpalthy and -wise."
Thero you havo. In a nutshell, tho first
principles of a prosperous career, whether
It bo on a ball field, In tho commercial
world or elsewhere. It Is tho sermon of
a Blab wizard to red-blooded young
Americans who. nsplro to places In tho
hall of famo.
Tho threo-flngcred marvel, 40 years
young nnd boasting n remarkablo record
established during 1G years of bristling
competition against tho greatest sluggers
of all-time, is keen for the regular hours,
clean living nnd he's unafraid of hard
work.
Tho story of his rlso from obscurity ns
a miner In tho coal fields adjacont to
Terro Iloute, Ind is nn old one.
Prom his apprentlco days manning tho
pick, Brownie learned to hit the hay early
and to rise with the chickens. Seldom
has ho been absent from bed later than
midnight
Handicapped for the career ho chose,
as tho result of having lost tho fore
finger of his right hand whllo "monkey
ing" with a feed chopper at the age of 4,
Brown has by clean living won his niche
In tho hall of curving famo.
Though 40 and nt nn ngo when tho
avorago ball player is ready for the old
soldiers' homo, tho Miner bids fair to
again cut a Mlzzy swath on his return
to the Cubs his old alma mater and
