K. 0. GEORGE CHANEYIS HEADLINER
IN ROCK 'EM AND SOCK 'EM EXHIBIT;
SENDS MURPHY BACK TO SCR ANTON
IT "WAS an exhibition of Itock cm and Hock 'em At tho
Olympin last night. Several young gentlemen, pugtlls
tlcally Inclined, settled a lot ot arguments and at the end
f each argument there was n winner and a loner. Some
t the winners were unanimous and others more bo.
JS'o blank cartridges were flrcd. Kvery act was sin
cere and even the moot skeptical admitted it was for keeps.
A popular pastime was caressing each other's facial fea
tures with a clenched fist surrounded by a five-ounce glove.
This was well received by every one except the receiver.
However, M. Tnylor, the, well-known and modest
watch-maker, did himself proud In arranging the enter
tainment for the clubmen. Make, no mistake about that.
The crowd, which packed the urena to the water's edge,
njoyod every minute and proved it vocally. There was
o much cheering and noisy acclaim that some of tho spec
tators were willing to rest up in some nice, quiet boiler
factory.
Five acts were oil the bill, nil ducts. At tho end of
three it was a monologue, for the parties of the second
part were present but not voting. One took the nose dive
while standing up with both arms hugging his tender face.
Another went nwny from there with n damaged optic and
the third was standing against the ropes waiting for the
floor to come up and receivo him when the whistle blew.
George Chaney, who occasionally is a knockout king,
but sometimes reverses himself, won the final bout from
Al Murphy, of Scranton, To. George left the ring nnd
hastened to the boxoffico soon after the fifth round had
started, when Slim Brcnnan stopped the fracas.
Al put up n game, gritty, uphill battle nnd took every
thing handed out. In fact, be was one of the best fielding
fighters we ever have seen. He accepted everything with
out an error. Nothing got by him in the four and one
half rounds. In the first ho fielded it left hook with his
chin and for the next nine seconds took It on the hip, with
his head resting on the ropes. However, he pulled himnclf
together and surprised himself and everybody else by
lingering through the chapter.
Murphy did well after that, for he came back strong,
pasted Chancy with a left job and missed right swings, but
he was trying just the same. Chancy was anxious, to say
nothing of willing and eager, to caress At on the chin and
rock him into deep slumber. His left was n constant
menace and Murphy almost had to be in two places at once
to get away from it.
i TO ONE doubled Chaney's intentions. He teat
quite sincere, and in the third and fourth rounds
teas bouncing the portside flapper promiscuously off
the various parts of Afurph's anatomy. Al, how
ever, mislaid his Qhin or something and the battle
progressed another stanza.
Slim Spoils a Swell Knockout
TIB fifth round dawned through a dense fog and
Chancy started out to hand Al more of the tame.
By this time the Scranton boy was deciding in his own
mind to go back to his old trade and become a cash cus
tomer at future boxing bouts. Constant wallops to the
tody and left-handed socks to the map weakened bim and
he could do nothing but play a defensive game.
Suddenly Chancy ripped a left to the body, nnd, when
the guard dropped, shot the same mauler to the whiskers.
Al reeled against tho ropes. He was out on his feet
and all set to receive the finishing wallop. He even sighed
and was about to permit himself to drift peacefully into
the land where little birds warble and the fountains splash
ml the stars twinkle in the daytime, when Slim Bren
nan woke him up. First he chased Chancy away from
there and led the Scranton scrapper to his corner. Al
didn't care what corner he was led to, but Slim was
accurate.
Chancy gets credit for a knockout. Ho would have
had it, anyway, for all he had to do was walk up, take
aim and tire. There was no opposition, and a bullseyc
could have been scored by a one-handed Chinaman.

Danny Makes Davcy Quit
Fill the first time c hnd n look lit Danny Kramer,
the latest addition to the stable of Phil Glassman,
Inc. Danny mixed with Dave Astcy, of New York, and
did ull of the mixing. He is the best-looking bantam
seen here for a long tiiric nnd if he doesn't climb to the
top, u lot of people will miss their guess. He convortcd
tho brawl into a solo nnd had It nil over his opponent
like a tent.
Astcy, however, is a percentage fighter. He figured he
had one chnnco in a million nnd refused to take such odds.
Therefore, ho folded up nftrr two minutes nnd twenty-nine
i-econds of fighting nnd wns satisfied to coll it a day's
work. He made such a bum showing that it took the po
lice department to give him the row.
Before taking it on the run, Dave hit tho mat for n
short count, which is a way of saying nine. Danny was
the unanimous victor.
Abo Goldstein punched Battling Mack all over the place
and won by six miles. Even Mack will admit this.
Jimmy Sullivan, a rubber-necked athlcto from New
York, appeared in tho second bout with Bobby Barrett, the
pride of Clifton Heights, Fa. At the end, which occurcd
in the middle of the third round, Bobby still was able
to go back to Clifton Heights. Sullivan got the de
cision nnd Bobby got a cut over the eyo and a cauli
flower ear, which should be in full bloom by this time.
Barrett is a husky, slam-bang Bluggcr, a glutton for
punishment and a willing worker. He almost knocked
Sullivan for a gonl in the first round, but the sock was
a trifle high. Then Jimmy operated on all twelve cylin
ders until the curtain dropped.
BOBBY was willing to continue, but Blim said
no, and Slim always has his own way.
Stosh and Clark in Best Bout
TniS first bout wns the best of the evening. Dick
Stosh, ho of the fragile jaw, took it on the dimple
in the first round and started to hit the canvas. Franklc
Clark nlmost sank him with right-handed wallops, but
he didn't go down for the third time. He did tho
Annette Kellcrmann twice and after that, came back ns
fresh as a taxicab driver.
Dick was a marvel when it came to taking punish
ment. He looked like a Biiddcn loser In the first, but
after that had Frankie lost in a blizzard of boxing gloves.
His left was in his face constantly and the right had
a habit of smearing the nose. The clubmen were all
hot up over this bout and enjoyed every second of It.
In the sixth round Clark again connected with Stosh's
jaw and Dick flopped. He was up before Brcnnan began
to count and finished strong. Clark was the winner.
STOSH took considerable punishment, but he was
not the only one. His manager, Herman Hin
din, was almost drowned in the water bucket.

WINS BY POIN
THE
SKILL AT BLOCKING
AIDS THE SOCCERIST
This Department of Game
Requires Quick Action Play Used by Forwards
and Backs Many Ways of Tackling
Ily DOUGLAS STEWART
Coaeh of the University ot rennwlvonla Socrcr Klevni, Intercollcilale Champions.
S WE have explained at length,!
trapping in soccer is a play in
tended to control an intercepted pass,
a wild pass or n descending ball.
Blocking Is another phase of the
same play. Particularly is it used
when stopping the bail from going
where it is intended by an opponent.
The fullback uses blocking tactics when
he is unable to use the foot in kicking
or the head in heading. Ho usually
tries to block tho ball by getting di
rectly into its lino of flight after it
has left the opponent's foot.
If the ball is low the player simply
puts his foot in position, with the heel
down and solo up, to let the ball strike
the sole and be grounded directly in
front of him when he immediately ad
vances sufficiently far to put his foot
to the ball and send it where he wnnts
to. In case the ball is breast high tho
fullback receives the ball on the chest
and advances between the forwards,
who are attacking, the ball being car
ried on the chest during this time by
reason of the fullback coming forwnrd
fast enough to keep it there until he
is clear of his opponents, when the
ball wllf come to the ground and he is
then ablo to tend it in tho desired
direction.
The halfback U6cs the block when ho
is up behind his forwards and when
the opposing hnlves have taken tho ball
from the forwards nnd kicked it to one
of their own forwards. In this in
stance the blocking is a phase of the in
tercepting tactics of tho halves. But
there are also times when the half can
block the ball on ins cne.st, or, as no
should really do, jump off tho ground
high enough to trnp the ball on his
stomach and bring it to ground.
Forwards Use Foot Block
Th fnru.-nrda use the foot block when
they are close on the opposing fullbacks
jor the purpose oi neutralizing iuu luu
back kicks in tho effort to clear. By
being close in on the fullbacks tho at
tacking forwards have many opportu
nities for blocking with the foot or
tmnnlnc with the stomach. Fullbacks
subjected to this sort of pressure fro
,.,,ti.. Vioonmn verv much rattled and
get to kicking wildly, nnd tho wilder
they get the more does the blocking or
. i f jMHifrl wA r?nf liter
stomacn irappms ''" e,i.
Another phase of this department of
, a Tvhnn tho same tactics are
rT,i tn the tfoalkeencr. This, of
course, naturally follows when the tac
tics arc applied to tho fullbacks. There
Is nothing disconcerts a goalkeeper or
fullback quite so much as when his ef
i . i,m. nre frustrated by skillful
blocking on the part of the opposing
forwards. .......
Tho exercise of the ball-blocking
tactics brings us to opponent-blocking
tactics, where the effort is made to
uii, or, nnnnnent in his endeavor to
dribble, pass or receive the ball, lo
block an opponent the player usually
places himself in a position to prevent
the opponent uoing anyimng to r mm
the ball. Blocking an opponent docs
not mean charging. In blocking there
is always a space between tho players,
the blocker simply putting himself in
position to Prevent the opponent doing
anything with the ball t he bus it,
or prevent him recolving the ball If he
docs not have it.
This is a Ploy in w.hle." th half
backs should take particular intercut,
for it is by Mb blocking tactics that
tho wing half prevents the wing for
ward receiving the ball on n long or
even a snort jubu, wwuuui i
latter caso it becomes somewhat of nn
intercepting move. The wing half
should always bo in position to prevent
his opponent from receiving the ball.
In this case, of course, he gets in u
position back to and In front of the
forward, and with tactics of this sort
a merry battle goes on between the
two, the half trying to block and the
forwnrd trying to keep from being
blocked. Another instance of this
blocking move usually takes place be
twecn the ceuter half and opposing
center forward.
When a forward is pestered by rf
half he does not, as a rule, have any
time to play with the ball In caso he
receives it, and being unable to Bend
or carry it forward by reason of an
other apponent blocking any move in
that direction, he is compelled either to
snap the ball back to a convenient
mate or over tho head of the half nr
blocking opponent nnd put it In posi
tion for another forward to receive and
do something with it.
Tackling is another phase of block
ing and in defined as "putting one's

DAYS OF REAL SPORT
Is Variant of Trapping audi
self or a part thereof in front of a
player who is dribbling the bull, and
either take it away or forco him to
get rid of.it nt a disadvantage."
In tackling the bodies of tho players
no not come in contact ns in charging.
There arc many forms of tacklinc. in
eluding the back tackle, the split tackle
and the jab, but I will confine myself
to tho simple methods. Let it bo un
derstood that the tackle applies to the
dribbler as the opponent. The drib
bler is propelling tho ball forward,
first touching it with ono foot ana
then with the other or simply using one
foot.
The tackier has observed the moves
of tho dribbler nnd, timing his move
toward the dribbler, watches when the
ball is farthest away from the drib
bler and puts his foot to the ball, tap
ping it to one side or tho other out ot
the dribbler's reach ; or he may tap
tho ball gently between the dribbler's
legs, running round the dribbler nnd
getting control of tne ball; or ho may
deliberately hook the ball away from
the dribbler's foot, pulling it over to
one side clear of the dribbler and let
ting him run on it he is going at
speed ; or he may run across the drib
bler's path, taking the ball with him.
AH of these moves require a nice
timing in the action of the feet. In
hooking the ball the tackier must be
careful to get his foot ouly on the ball
for if the hook is not neatly anu clean
ly dono the hooker, particularly if tho
dribbler stumbles, is apt to bo blown up
for tripping. The same caution is re
quired when tapping the Ball between
tho opponent's legs or rushing across
his path.
Must Act Qtiiridy
These tackling moves arc very neces
sary on the part of halves and full
backs, nnd wlillo they seem very de
liberate on paper they arc not so in
action, for the time permitted to ac
complish tho moves is rcnlly very short
and call for very quick action mentally
and physically.
The fullbuck must be very quick nnd
very sure of himself nnd, of course, ns
ho is tho last line of defense ho mubt
make sure of getting the ball and full
ing to get the ball must stop the op
ponent from ndvnntagcously doing any
thing with it; falling In his blocking or
tnckllng he will, of course, resort to n
charge, being sure that ho or ono of his
side gets tho ball.
So far ns the halves nro concerned
they have more freedom in their tack
ling movements nnd opportunities for
moro than one try, and, failing to ac
complish anything in the way of tack
ling, can worry the forward until the
back can come into action and try his
skill in getting possession of the ball.
The half as soon as the back comes into
action puts himself ju position to have
another go at the opponent in case the
back is beaten.

of New Head Might Investigate Ownership 0f
Some Clubs Should End Squabbles
By GRANTLAND RICE
IT IB always simple enough to stand
on the outside- and toss in sugges
tions. This applies to the present base
ball situation as woTl as any form of
industry or trouble.
As we understand it, Judge Lnndis
intends this coming spring to transfer
the game from tho magnates' offices to
the playing Held, which would be tho
wisest move that any ono could possibly
make.
But before this transfer can be made
there nro still sevcnl matters which it is
vitally necessary to handlo in proper
fashion nt the winter conclave.
What must be done isn't a matter of
expediency, but of necessity if baseball
Is to look for any patronage or aupport
next spring and summer.
The Main Jobs Ahead
THE first move to be made, of course,
is in connection with the Chicago
White Sox scandal, and every other
crooked ballplayer, with especial atten
tion paid to naming and branding every
gambler that had any hand In the at
tempted wrecking of the game.
This case isn't closed, by any means.
Every fan in America is entitled to
know the namo of every crooked player
and to bo shown that every effort has
been mado to hang the branding iron
upon every gambler involved, with espe
cial nttention paid to tho main crooks.
If this can't be done it will merely bo
iinfortunnto for tho future of the game,
for no explaining will be sufficient to
clear up the atmosphere. American fanB
have faith in Judgo Landis. They
haven't as much faith in many of the
others.
In the beginning Ban Johnson and
several club owners opposed the Landis
arrangement. It is now up to Johnson
and theso club owners to co-operate In
every way with the new ruler of the
gamo to see that the entire smear of dirt
is cleaned out of the corridor.
Other Moves
T:II8 insn't the only move that must
be made. There have been reports
that ono or two club owners owned
stock or control in other clubs.
In tho clcanlng-up process it should
be necessary for each club owner to take
an oath that he owns no stock in any
outside club nnd it should also be
necessary for each club to namo its
owner or owners under oath.
The game isn't going to stand for
any syndicate baseball. This is a mat
ter of extreme importance which Judge
Landis undoubtedly will handlo in
thorough fashion.
These rumors of syndicato baseball
may be true or untrue. But they havo
become widespread and should be put to
trial. )
Concerning Squabbles
rpHBN thero is tho matter of feuds,
-L smiabhlcs and other forms of troubles
that nave broken out in ono league or
another for about forty years.
Tho National League was the storm
center for more than a decade, but
when the National finally declared peace
within its ranks tho American League
developed a scries of feuds that have
been even more bitter than hurtful to
the game.
Ban, brought up on the old politics of
tho game, has never been able to see
