Ertlc's Clnss Exposed
Having looked over Kid Herman, who
gave Williams such n tough battle In New
Orleans a short tlmo ago nnd giving tho
champion tho same batting average as tho
Kid, wo nro taking no chances when wo
assert that Johnny Is tho big nolso among
the little guys. Last night ho Bhowed tho
real class nnd It Is tho drat tlmo ho has let
himself out slnco making his debut to tho
Philadelphia fans. Up to that tlmo It was a
secret.
Young MeOovern Is tho toughest propo
sition Krtlo has nt In his Kastcrn In
vasion. In tho llrst round Mao got off
to a flying start and handed several
healthy wallops to tho visitor. His loft
.was working nicely and onco ho lifted
'Urtlo oft his feet with a hook to tho jaw.
Johnny was studying his opponent, but
found It dinicult to solve his nttack.
Evory tlmo tho Kewplo rushed ho was
met with a straight left to the face, fol
jowed by a hard right cross to tho head.
It looked as if tho championship claim
ant was about to fall by tho wnysldc, for
Ertlc was a tired bantam when ho wont
to his corner.
Johnny Is Generous '
In tho second, howover, Johnny camo
up for air and. tho going no longer re
sembled tho rocky road to Dublin. Ho
hgan to caress McGovern with lovoly
wallops to tho head, Jaw and body, but
itlll ran Into that loft Jab which McGovern
persisted In throwing In his face.
But It was in this round that Ertlo con
ferred a great favor on his foe nnd made
Jt possible for him to enter any boxing
club In tho country without slipping some
change to tho man In the box olllcc. Tho
ducket for frco admission was presented
near the end of tho round, when Johnny
Btarted a right swing from tho Iloor nnd
.caught MeOovern on tho left car. Tho
auditory organ sprouted llko a green
bnlon nnd when tho bnttlo was over It
was a beautiful "tin" car, such as all
regular boxors wear. .
McGovern did not appear to appre
ciate this act of kindness, for he gritted
his teeth, made faces nt Ertlo and sailed
In as It ho held something against him.
Fank O'Urlcn, tit;. referee, saw that mat
ters wcro gqttlnff serious, and ho breath
lessly watched tho conlllct with nervous
apprehension.
Ertlo showed that, ho had no hard feel
Ings, for ho allowed his opponent to rush
at him swinging both hands, nnd only
Used a right or left smash to tho Jaw to
itOB tho wild lllght. These lefts and
rights landed with amazing regularity In
the fifth round, and McGovern seemed
ready to dovoto 10 seconds or moro to
lumber on tho canvas, llo emerged with
out going to sleep, but was drowsy at tho
end Tho samo thing happened In tho

Cares Will Follow Big
Men Into Prize Ring
Pupllists in training nro not sup
posed to permit anything to dis
' tress or worry them. But right
now Frank Moran is sorely grieved
over the death of his little pal,
Willie Lewis, Jr. On tho night ho
fights Willard the boy's father
will bo in his corner. Jess Willard
will go into the ring a worried man
because he will be expecting tho
"news that ho is ngain a father and
he is gravely concerned over tho
health of Mrs. Willard.
Moran was nil broken up over
the news of little Willie Lewis'
death, as the-child had been his
companion during his stay in Eu-
4ujl' uim on au oi ma training
trips. The tragedy has completely
changed Lewis, Sr,, and Moran's
trainer and second, once the cay-
, est ringman of them all, is de
pressed and silent.
Willard was deeply touched by
the news of tho boy's death and
asked that Lewis bo told how much
he felt for him. It is certain thnt
both Willard and Moran will bo
glad when it is nil over and they
both can have a little time for
their private griefs and worries.

"Dr. Joseph M. Creamer, physician of

Satmday night.
"Doctor Creamer expressed surprlso nt
.tho improvement in Willard slnco his

Willard on his nrrlval In Now York and
had his doubts then whether tho cham
pion could get fit for a hard battlo In so
short a time. Doctor Creamer says Wil
lard is ready right now to go 10 rounds
at top speed with Moran or anybody else,
and thnt his present condition Is a line
trlbuto to his training methods, despite all
criticism to tho contrary.
"Moran was bristling with vigor and
ready to fight when ho returned from
Saratoga two weeks ago, says Doctor
Creamer, and, If possible, ho Is oven better
today than ho was then. He Is as hard
as Iron and tho most confident man In tho

LARRY LAJOIE BEGINS HIS TWENTY-FIRST YEAR
AS MEMBER OF BIG LEAGUE BASEBALL CLUB
Began His Brilliant Ca
reer on Diamond
With the Phillies in
1896
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.. March 21.
WIin.N' tho squad of regulars and bat
tery men of the Athletics started
prnctlco yesterday Larry Lajole, ono of the
greatest figures ever connected with tho
national game, started his 21st season ns
a major lenguo player. It marked tho
20th spring training trip for tho famous
slugger, 19 of which havo been In tho
South.
Lajole Joined tho Phillies In July, 1806,
nnd has taken tho Southern training trip
regularly each spring, rxceptlng 1001. Tho
American League Invaded tho I'ast In
1001, nnd Lajole Jumped from tho Phillies
to tho Athletlc:i. That spring tho Mack
mm trained at homo on the old field nt
29th street nnd Columbia nvenue.
In all thoKO years Larry went to tho
training camp nssured of a regular posi
tion. Vov IB yenrs he wns tho premier
second baseman of tho country. He nlo
wns the greatest hitter In ho American
League for eight years antl In tho Na
tional for tlvo previous seasons. Tho com
ing of Ty Cobb toppled Lnrry from tho
bnttlng throne, while tho peorless Kdclle
Collins took his tltlo ns tho greatest sec
ond baseman.
Lajole Is Idol
But Larry was still a wonder nnd a
drawing card. Ho was always n popular
Idol, but llko all other nthletcs ho Is ap
proaching tho tlmo when ho must bow to
youth. It Is believed that Mnnngcr Mnclt
has In Lew Mnlono n youngster who Is
going to supplant tho rnmous veteran as
a regular, but Larry declares that It will
not happen this season.
Lajolo Is absolutely confident that ho
will havo ono great season before ho Is
replnced and will bo satisfied to step asldo
to make room for a youngster nftcr tho
prcsont season. Ho realizes that Mack,
In building a new machine must havo
young blood nnd ho Is aiding Connie by de
veloping his successor.
All Lajolo wants Is one more senson ns
a regular. If he starts tho coming cam
paign ns n regular ho will cntor a select
class In which but four names nro en
rolled. This roll of honor Is for players
who havo played moro than 20 years In
tho major leagues as n regular. Thcro Is
no other plnycr In tho g.uno today, barring
Wagner, who Is likely to reach tho mark,
and Larry may bo tho last player tf all
tlmo to play 21 years In tho major leagues.
Other Perennials
Tho wonderful Wagner Is starting his
20th season this year, but It is doubtful
If ho will complete It ns a regular Four
men havo accomplished this feut and all
wcro marvelous ball players. They were
Cap Anson, Georgo Gore, llhoddy Vnllaco
and Dan Brouthers. Others havo played
n greater number of seasons ns profes
sional ball players, but none havo re
mained In active major leaguo service con
tinually for more thnn 20 years.
Cy Voting, Wllllo Kecler, Joo Kcllcy.
Kid Nichols, Bill Hart nnd others wero In
the game for more than a score of years,
but not continuously In tho major leagues.
If appearances count for nnythlng Lajolo
should bo tho fifth namo enrolled In this
honor list.
Larry reported this spring lighter than
usual. us ho has been working lightly for
a fow weeks In order to report close to his
normal weight. Ho realizes that ho Is no
longer a youngster, nnd that It Is now
harder to take oft weight. Therefore, ho
wanted to report In good shapo so that
ho would bo better nhlo to stand tho hard
grind of spring training as prescribed by
Manager Mack this year.
Ills Great Deeds
Ono could go on nt length, telling of
LaJolo'H great deeds on tho diamond. It
Is enough to say that they will never bo
forgotten by tho fatis, and long after ho Is

position, appreciates Larry's position, and
nre nil pulling for him to show a Hash of
his old-time form.
Like Matty and Wngncr, who also nro
starting on what may bo tho last season
of a wonderful career, Lajolo nevor really
appreciated Just what tho grand old g.imo
meant to him until now.
In other years baseball was Just a busi
ness. He knew his iob was suro and while
he naturally had to llko tho game to last
so long, he never realized Just how much
ho cared for It until he reached tho point
whero ho has to fight or step out forover.

centage of tho fortuno he hns amassed
from tho gnmo for Just about thrco of tho

ho could closo his career In a blnzo of
