The remarkable performance of Joie { Ray, Chicago distance runner, in set-| ting a new record for the mile and a half run_ which had stood for many years, leads experts to predict that Ray will be the leading distance man on the cender paths during the spring.

HAMILTON, (United Press Correspondent) New York, Feb, Percy Haughton started it when he declared the offen- sive side of baseball needed some | changes, and then outlined a few. Now \they’re all doing it. They've advo- cated everything that could be thought of, almost, including abolition of carve balls. One of the most recent suggestions along these lines is that a pitcher not be allowed to pitch his first two balls to the hatter in the curve fashion. Each of the first two heaves should be straight and above board, it s con- tended. In this case the batter would get a toehold, lean far back and take a whack at the old cripple. He would be looking for it. Consequently the, infielders would be ducking and the | pitcher would be flat on the ground by ithe time the ball reached the plate. Of course there aer other things in the suggestions, among which is one that the pitcher not be compelled to place h isfirst two offerings over the plate, He could make them a little wild if he wanted to and then hook oyer three for strikese Naturally the batter would want those first ones and probably would. take a crack at them even if they didn’t come close. Another suggestion is that the foul | strike rule be amnded, One person |even would have the foul lines move | farther to the left or right—as the case jmight be—to take in more territory. | This- person rightfully exclaims that | when a batter gets hold of one and leracks it down the right or left field foul line a mile a minute he should be | entitled to all the glory that goes with such a performance. He should either have the benefit of knocking the whey out of the ball, he believes, or should not be charged with a strike. | The abolition of the spit-ball has | received serious attention and prom- jises to be the one point that will be | deeply considered. Gov. John K. Tener, | president of the National league, is one who believes that foreign sub- stances, as represented by the spitball, jare not needed in baseball: ways right. F. H.

Pooling the other fellow has been al- most as big an issue in determining the issue of boxing bouts as the rela- tive physical merits of the fighters themselv Quick thinking, combined with abil- ity and maybe a little unsuspected trick thrown in, have turned the tide ‘of many a ring battle, : Some championships have even changed hands through a little trick |worked by an agile-minded fighter at a citical moment. A ruse which drew Bob Fitzsimmons into Jim Jeffries’ dressing room be- fore their Coney Island fight perhaps had ag much to do with Fitzsimmons’ defeat as the heating he subsequently | took in the ring. | Fitz was a middleweight, and al- though he had never seen Jeff, friends told him of the Californian’s immense physique, which brought from him the famous exclamation, “The bigger they are the harder they fall.” But when Fitz was enticed in to Jeff's dressing room a short time be- fore their bout dh the pretext of ar- ranging details of rules there is no doubt that he was shocked at Jeff's | great bulk lying, dressed for the ring, on a cot.

As it was he stag- gered Welsh. with a hook to the jaw. many of his friends believe that Fitz knew he was beaten before he climb- ed into the ring. Jack Johnson was a crafty strate- gist when cornered. His knockout of Stanley Ketchell in the twelfth round of their bout at Colma in 1909, was the direct result of his ability to think faster than Ketcbell. Early in the twelfth round Kechell caught Johnson on the point of the jaw, sending him down for the count of nine. Johnson arose groggy and stagger. ing. Ketchell, elated, with, the vision of the heavy-weight crown within his grasp, rushed in to end it. Johnson met him with a terrific left to the jaw, knocking him out. John- son had been stalling: Fitzsimmons pulled a similar stall on Corbett in their championship fight in 1897. One of Bat Nelson’s great tricks was to rebound from the ropes after being knocked into them, surprising his opponent into an opening and com- bining the force of his blow with the impetus «f the rebound. es Willie Kitchie used to save himselt punishment by using olive oil on his body. Blows would slide from him like water from a duck’s back. \PUDGE'S SON ON YALE TRAGK TEAM \ Memories of former Yale glory on the football are recalled by the names of two freshmen who have reported for spring track work to Trainer John- ny Mack.
