But this is not likely to happen is sus- he is put out of the Action Dazes Rickard. NEW YORK, March 25.—Jack Dempsey, champion heavyweight, re- tained his title in a telegraphic bout with the New York State Athletic Commission yesterday, but the right- handed swing of the officials tore the paint from Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jersey City, d Tex Rickard for ths moment and pushed the negro chalienger, Harry Wills, back into his chair. From all missed the indications the blow champion, but it shook about everything in pugilism. By placing Dempsey on the ineligible list, the commission put every heavy weight, every manager of heavy- weights and every promoter in the land on guard. New York's rulers of the ring had sent Dempsey a challenge filed re- cently by Wills, but the champion pursued a walting game. The officials led again, with a 15-day ultimatum. Still the champlon waited. Perhaps the moguls thought him lacking in alertness, for in the next move they swung the heaviest blow they ever have delivered. From the Pactfic Coast came the news that the punch had landed Dempsey some- where in the motion picture lots and he could not be located. Hits Jersey Arena. Not satisfled with taking the 3,000- mile swing at the titleholder, the commission became belligerent and smote the prospect of taking a champlonship bout to New Jersey vhen it was made known that pro- inoters assoclating themselves with Dempsey will suffer suspension also. Rickard thereupon announced that he would do nothing to antagonize the commission, and that the matter of & Wills-Dempsey contest, so far as he is concerned, must await the time when Dempsey comes to terms with the New York body. Paddy Mullins, manager of Wills, also was one of the casualties, for he, too, will be barred in New York it he is connected in any way with a match in which the champion is one of the principals. Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager. who futilely waved a white sheet of paper with black markings upon it as a measure of truce, said after the verdict that matters must take their course, that Dempsey wants to fight and will meet any one, anywhere, whenever a suitable proposition is made and he is assured of the pro- moter's weliability Makes Dempsey Laugh.

The third baseman doesn't have to be as shifty on his feet as a short- stop or second baseman. He doesn't have as_wide range of territory to cover. But he must possess a nice sense of direction on a batted or thrown ball. He can't afford to make any false moves. All in all, 1 should say the trait most desired in a third baseman s the ability to locate the ball after he has knocked it down 1f you play the position you are relatively ‘close to the batter.

Players of various balls, type. He stop it Knock the ball down some way. After this comes the very dif- ficult task of recovering it. Young- sters find this extremely hard. You should practice until you ac- quire the extra sense of knowing where the ball falls after you knock it down. You should be able to tell from the manner in which it strikes your hand approximately where it has bounded. Constant drill in field- ing practice is the only way to de- velop your bump of location. Another phase of these plays, on which the youngster must work faithfully, is schooling himself to pick the ball up cleanly after he has almost automatically located it. Let one of your mates work with you after regular practice hours if You find you are weak on locating the ball and picking it up without hesitancy once it has been knocked down. The good third baseman pounces upon such balls, seldom making a false move. He learns to reach in the right place and come up with the ball in his hand. Teach yourself to make one grab, and that & sure one. You will likely miss the play on the runner if you have to pick sev- eral gimes before getting a sure clutch on the ball, ‘What applies to the picking up of hard hit balls that you knock down, is also applicable to bunts.

If you are coming in and have to throw to first don’t forget to shoot for a mark a bit to the right of the first baseman. Your forward movement will carry the ball to him. The third basemar must make quite as much of a study of hitters and base runners as any of the other infielders. Like the second baseman and shortstop, he often has to time his throws and flelding chances to suit the speed of the runner. He will be governed how to play the hitter by the latter's style, Tomorrow—Flelding Duties of the Third Baseman.) (Copyright, 1925, by Current News Features.
