He now stands six feet, three inches tall and weighs 235 pounds without an ounce of superfluous flesh. Eustace was born on a farm near Wakefield, Kas., which is about 20 miles from Junction City. Througn heavy lifting while working on the farm he became paralyzed. The usual medical treatment was given but failed to effect a cure.

New York, Feb. 2—These are the days of basketball records, In the west the Vincennes, Ind., team has ben attracting much atten- tion in interscholastic circles. During the last’ three years the Vincennes team has not ben beaten on its home floor and has lost only one game in the last 56 played. | Down east the Passaic, N. J., high’ school five is the big noise. The Passaic team seems to outclass the high school fives in ‘its section, as it has won 100 straight games. Wins 100 Straight Games—Team Claims Basketball Title ~ Intersectional games in football created keen interest in the gridiron sport last vear. A number of games were staged, not only by the colleges but the preparatory schools as well. Why not an intersectional game between Vincennes and Passaic? twa.clubs that they are entitled to represent the west and east, Coach Blood of the Passaic team is ready to talk busine with any high chool team that disputes the right of Passaic to be called the na- tional champs of their class. once in my career a8 an umpire 1 did that very thing, When an umpire puts a ball player out of a game, the ejection, which is invariably merited, stands. Regard- less of the outcome of the decision, it goes. Often the umpire knows that his action means a riot at the close of the game, but that never re ceives the slightest consideration. Who was the player I put out and then reinstated? None other than the great Larry Lajoie, Funny thing, but I met Larry the other day, we discussed the incident and both had & good laugh. Because of injuries, the Cleveland infield at the time was all broken up. George: Perring, a, recruit, was at third, and an injury to Terry Turner had forced Lajoie to shift to short- stop, there being no other infielder on fhe cli who could play that posi- tion. oc Late in the game, with the score a tie and two out, the batter hit safety and by fast sprinting went alt the way,to third on the hit. The throw bpat lim there, but Perring. who was 2 youngster, was badly fooled’ by a deceptive slide on the part of the runner aad missed touch- ing him by a ggod yard. He shoul: have been an eaby out and when he was declared safe it was only natural that Larry should have been peeved over the failure of Perring to make the touch. Hardly had I made my decision of safe when a glove whizzed by through the air. I turned around quickly and noticed that Larry was the only infielder on the club minus hig glove. Walkin, marked, “You are through for the day, you can follow the glove to th» club house.” “Why, Bill, I didn’t throw- the glove at you,” replied Larry. © “Say, a blind man’ could have s¢en that Perring missed the hurler. That glove was hurled in Pesring’s direc- tion— not yotrs. I conld see-that Larry was honest in his remarks. Incidentally, when Larry had a kick to make he put it over without showiig up the umpire. “Go get the glove, you are back in the game!” T'said. No one knew 1 had pat Larry out or sent him back ” * 2 * The next batter hit safely and the ball gante was, over.

Johnson performed his ‘three re- markable pitching feats on Septem- ber 4, 5, 7, York Americans in that city. All that Johnson did-was shut out the Yankees, then known as the Highlanders, in three straight games. The peculiar part of the feat was the mofe Johnson pitched the better he got. * In those days the single umpin system aws in use in the major lcagues. 't was my very great privi- lege to be entirely in chard@ of those three games, which I believe stand unequaled from a pitching point of view. In the old days of the single nm- pire system, the arbitrators always welcomed pitchers’ battles. Since it is necessary for an umpire to cover every play with the single system in veoe, close g»mes in which the pitchers were masters of the situa- tion, always made the work much easier. While those three games in which Johnson shut out New York on con- secutive days were remarkable pit ing feats, they were soft picking from the angle of the umpire. The reason—New York was help- less before Johnson, while Washing- ton would early assume a léad that would make the game secure wth Johnson going at top sped. J difn’t have to do much running around the bases in those three games, as mighty few players got on. The first game was played on Fri- day, Sent. 4, 1908, Washington win- past him I quietly re-tning 3 to 0, Johnson allowing the losers only six hits. The second game was played Sat- urday, Sent. 5, 1908, Washington de- It} would seem from the records of the 1908, against the New| HARRY WILLS BY BILLY EVANS. Who will be Jack Dempsey’s next opponent? Will Harry Wills, admittedly thg|” best of the colored. fighters, get the first crack at the champion? What «bout Floyd ohJnson? Did his win over the veteran Bill Bren- nan place him in line for considera- tion? Should any attention be paid to the demand on the part of Jesse Wit- lard for a return bout? Dempsey won the championship from Willatd, and usually a defeated fighter always receives consideration when seeking a return engagement. Then there is Tommy Gibbons. What about Sir Thoma A Year ago Gibbons was considered a certainty for a Dempsey mecting. Then came the upset by Harry Greb, which cost Gibbons at least $100,000, He could have easily demanded and received such a sum had it not beea for his setback at the hands of Greb. Greb Bout Costly. Desnite his defeat on points in the Greb bout, Gibbons certainly looms up as worthy of a chance. Dempsey fought Brennan, Carpentier ana Miske in championship bouts, and none of the trio had any more to recommend themselves as contenders than has Gibbons. Harry Greb is the most difficult fighter in the world to fathom. He will outvoint most any fighter in the business who fails to land a sleep- producing punch. Prior to the bout with Gibbons I had a talk with Harry before he stepped into the ring. I asked shim how he ft about the outcome. “Nothing to it unless Gibbons slips one over and stops me. He will see a million or more boxing gloves if the bout goes the limit.” TOMMY GIBBONS That is just what happened. Greb never let'Gibbons set, showed him 7 million gloves and won as he pleased. Greb Versus Dempsey. If Greb fought Dempsey: and Jack was unable to knock him out, it is just possible that Dempsey would look as bad in defeat as did Gibbons. All of which makes it seem that possibly the public and*the promoters are attaching entirely too much im- portance to Gibbons’ defeat by Greb. When the mention of a bout be- tween Gibbons and Dempsey is made. the question of Site is always raised. Some of the ring experts feel that physically Gibbons ig, not a big enough man to have a chance with Dempsey. Only recently the New York Boxing Commission vetoed a Dempsey-Gibbons bout for that rea- son, Such talk is ridiculous. Working along that line of reasoning it was cruelty to let Dempsey. step into the ring with Willard. Jesse towered over Dempsey in every way. Ther2 is no such difference between the physique of Dempsey and Gibbons. Fitz Feared No One. “The bigger they are,“the harder they fall.” .The late Bob Fitzsim- mons coined that expression. Many a time he proved the truth of it. Demn: in his bout with Willard, bore out the wisdom of lanky Bob’s now famous speech. “The bigger they are, the harder they fall.” Gibbons is entitled to considera- tion, as are a number of other heavy- weights who are clamoring for a chance.

New York used the great’ Jack Chesbro against Johnson to break the .shut-out epidemic. Johnson turned in the best game of the three, winning 4 to 0, New York making only two measly’ hits, In the late innings of the game, Johnson was hit on the right arm by one of Chesbro’s fast spitballs. The game was delayed about five minutes while Johnson had the’ arm mas- saged.
