Offence and Defence Those engaged in the subtle task of arranging the 1"3,™ major leagues should not make the common mistake of gn ing j to the attack. Pitching is undoubtedly the leading f^ tor - n troit made 120 more hits and scored 120 more runs than the Red I Sox were able to garner. The Tigers had a far stronger wallop when it came to offensive piay. Yet they finished nearly 30 points behind the Tiger team. In the National League the Reds were in. team batting. but tied for last place in the vital segment known as the fetanding of the CIUDS. Any lingering doubt as to where Grover Cleveland Alexander belongs in the present array can be removed by this—last year he won eight more than any other pitcher in either big league—the widest margin that any pitcher has shown for a considerable span of time. . mm- If Congress insists upon collecting enough money to meet current and com ing expenses, why not put a tax of 10 per cent, upon what Willard asks for a ten-round fight? . „ Beating the Game He strove to be contented with an humble toiler's lot, .

A suggestion to build up and promote the boxing game—put the entire smear under the absolute control of John Lawrence Sullivan and give the Old Hoy power to go the limit. At the end of the first two months they will either be boxers or bums, and he won't care which. WELLY'Si | "Bill" Martin, who played short stop for Syracuse last season, has been sold to the Bridgeport team of the Eastern League. He stood second in fielding. Martin figured with Bos ton Braves and later on the Roches ter team of the International League. He is a Georgetown University prod uct. Hitting slumps have worked against him. One improvement .a State boxing j bill would make in ring sport would be the elimination of boxen- who fail to keep their contracts. There are too many eleventh-hour cancellations. Harrisburg fight patrons had another disappointment this week. Frankie Erne helped out. The change was not wholly satisfactory. Les Darcy is certainly in bad with United States enthusiasts. He is sched uled to meet Dillon in Madison Square Garden Monday niKht. There was some talk about preventing the fight on the charge that Darcy left Australia to get way from military duty. Slow-ball pitchers are passing out along with the spit-ball artists. Nap Ruckcr, Jean Dubue, Jack Warhop and Al Demaree are on the list of twirlers who retired from the game. There are few youngsters who show any signs of tilling the shoes of these puzzling pill-heavers. Princeton is after Penn's scalp In the next basketball game. The Tigers and Yale are tie for first place in the intercollegiate race and Princeton must travel a pace to beat the New j Haven lads in the present race.
