World Results By Leased Wire Y WILLIAMS IN TRIM TO BABE RUTH RAGE IN HOME RUNS Fourth Circuit Clout of Spring Training Series Crashed Out by Philadelphia Out- fielder in Tuesday Game. (By The Associated Press.) Cy Williams, elongated outfielder and slugger of the Philadelphia Nationals, who in home runs with forty-one his eye this spring to give Babe Ruth of the Yankees, home run king of baseball St. Louis Browns, a hot race for the honors this season. The tall slugger smashed out his fourth circuit drive of the spring training scries, helping his club to shut out the Brooklyn Dodgers. Only one Dodger—Jack Fournier, the big Frenchman, got a hit—a single through the pitcher's box. Clyde Crouse's heavy hitting be- hind a flock of bases on balls and some daring base running by Cap- tain Eddle Collins and Joe Rabbitt of the White Sox, enabled the American Leaguers to triumph over the New York Giants, their travel- ing companions. It was the second victory in three games with the Na- tional league champions. Claude Jonnard, Glant Pitcher, wrenched a knee before the game and will be out for a week. The return of Johnny Kelleher to third base has given the Bostan Braves considerable more easiness. Kelleher, who will fill the shoes of the late Tonny Boeckle, killed in an automobile accident at San Diego California, stepped around the hot corner in fine style and cut off sev- eral cracks which looked like hits. ‘The regulars staged an exhibition with the Yannigans, which the lat- ter won when Nixon tripled with two on, while Jess Barnes did splendid work on the hil “Babe” Ruth, king of swat, con tinues to be the friend of the Chil- dren.

BY FAIR PLAY (Copyrigh, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, April 2.—Now that William Lawrence Stribling, ‘the Georgia fistic prodigy has demon- strated to the fans that his Colum- bus affair with Michael McTigue, world’s light heavyweight champion, was not a mistake, his appearance will be greatly in demand every- where. New York will have to remain out of it since the rule against boxers under 21 applies here so far as bouts of over six rounds are concerned. And it is a good rule. The fact that Stribling happens to be mature for his age merely marks an excep- tion and need not be accepted as warranting the abrogation of the measure, designed to protect youth from its own folly and recklessness. So far as that goes, Stribling has not a few of those qualities of boy- ishness that lead youngsters into trouble. In the tenth round of his fight against McTigue in the Fourth Regiment armory in Newark on Monday night elther a destre to pose after the manner of Jack Barry- more or somé admired star of the Big Time circuit, or juvenile indecis- fon, cost him what seemed to be a hance to administer to Sir Michael the first knockout he had ever expe- rienced. But as it happened, after William Lawrence had got done admiring himself for his splendid fighting— and it was splendid—McTigue man- aged to collect his senses and to dis- play those high defensive tactics which have for so long enabled him to maintain a vertical ring p By HENRY L, FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, April 2,—(United Press)—Three ‘years ago Willie Lewis, one of the greatest middle- weights of his day, was running a cabaret in the Union Square dis trict—the old “white-light” section of New York. Early one evening before the cus- tomers had began to gather, Lewis stepped out of a telephone booth in his place and was shot down by a gunman In the doorway, who pump- ed three shots into him. Lewis went to the hospital to die, but he refused to die. It cost him all the ‘money he had to get well, and his business went “up” while he was fighting for his fe in the hospital. ‘When he recovered he had to go to work in a billiard parlor, racking up the balls on a long battery of tables. Friends called on him to condole with him, to tell him they Were sorry that the breaks had gone so badly against him and to offer him whatever help he might feel in need of. . Willie told them he néeded no help. “It isn't so bad,” he sald. “I'm able to get around again, ~1 have my health, and I'll have my dough back in a couple of years. I've got a bantamweight champion coming along. Just wait and see.” It required a wait of three years to seo Lewis making good on his promise, but he did make good when his boy, Httle Abe Goldstein from the Ghetto, beat Joe Lynch and be- came the bantamweight champion of the world. Lewis had great faith in the boy from the time he first saw him in the amateur class. He was a skin- ny, little boy, pale-faced and sad- looking. He was, to the casual observer, no more of a prospect than hundreds of young boys who can be seen working around any gymnasium. Perhaps it was be- he was up against it and that he was in great need of finding a pect that Lewis saw ng Goldstein, He showed very little in his first Professional fights that would war- rant the good things expected of him. He was rushed tn against Joe Lynch as a subtitute when Jack Sharkey could not appear, and something York Boxing Commission suspended him and announced that Burman was the recognized champion. Every bantam in the country was running away from Burman. He tried to get a bout with-Lynch, but he couldn’t get near enough to him to even talk to him. Lynch finally was forced into a match and he ran of it the day before the fight, say- ing that he had fallen over his dog and had hurt his shoulder. Tex Rickard had to find a sub- stitute for Lynch and Lewis was there with the offer of Goldstein. Goldstein was away in the country and could just about make it back to New York in a day. Goldstein got the match and, with practically no preparation, he went in and beat Burman all over the place. Goldstein ought to be a good champion. He ought to be at least as good as Lynch, because he couldn't be worse. Chances are that he will be much better, because he is a little fellow and a. legitimate bantam. Lynch was not a legitimate bantamweight, and it was weight- making that caused him to lose the title. Goldstein is a very fine boxer. Lewis was a master in- his day, and he has passed a lot of his stunts, in- cluding the famous one-two punch on to his pupil. He has a punch in his right hand. Goldstein seems to have all the es- Sentials but the natural inclination to fight. He is much like Gene Tunney, the ght heavyweight champion, who is almost too nice to be a fighter. It has been suggested that Gold- stein fs timid and that he kas to be sure he can-beat a fighter before he can do it. He didn’t show any signs of’ being timid against Lynch, and he had reasons to be if he had any of that streak in him, With such a good manager, it ts lUkely that Goldstein will hold the title for some time. If he’ does hold it some time he will make some money, because Jewish fighters are great cards in New York, and Able {s certainly Jewish. Goldstein will not be allowed to make the mistakes that Lynch made. Willie Lewis will not let him throw himself away like Lynch did. So far, Goldstein has shown only the inclinations of a quiet, ordinary, little fellow, and he seems to be too Lynch knocked him out in eleven rounds. Goldstein was a flyweight then and Lynch was a heavy ban- tam. Lewis then got him a match with Johnny Buff, and Buff stopped him, but Lewis did not lose faith in the boy “He's got the stuff,” insist he would “He's learning something all the time and he'll get there.’ Wise handling and smart tutoring by Lewis brought the youngster along slowly but soundly, and when he was ready to step out Lewis did not hesitate to send him. aoe e Joe Burman, the Chicago bantom, was regarded, a year ago, as the best man in the class. Lynch re- fused to fight him, and the New sonal reply enclose a stamped, BASEBALL QUESTION BOX If you have some question to ask about baseball— If you want a rule interpreted— If you want to now anything about a play or a player— Write to John B.
