Jack Johnson Selects Former Norwich Boy to Hold the Watch—Once Befriended the Big Elack—Says Jef- fries is Pue to Lose This Time. When Alderman Stuart F. pouglas of New York next visits his former home and his friends in Norwich, after July 4th, he will have something to talk about that will claim the atten- tion of a big coterie of listeners. Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight prize fighter, has chosen Alderman Douglas as his timekeeper for the fight with Jim Jeffries on July 4th. Douglas a Good Choice. ‘The selection of Stuart F. Douglas as Johnson's timekeeper shows good sense on the part of the black cham- pion, says a Chicago man in the Morn- ing Telegraph. Mr. Douglas, manager of a furniture company, and living at New Rochelle, Is one of the most ardent boxing fans in America. A few years ago, when living in Chicago, he was official timekeeper of the Fort Dear- born ang Tattersall's club and held the watch for Sharkey and Choynski, Gans and McGovern, McCoy and Mc- Cormick—in fact, for all the great bat- tles decided in those historic days. He alio referced occasional combats and declined to referee about half of the matches decided around Chicago and the west, persoan] friendships, in most cases, making him turn down the of- fer He helped bring out and push for- ward Jimmy Barry, Billy Rotchford, Tommy Ryan, Harry Harris, Harry Forbes —probably half or more of the stars developed in the west during the past twenty years—and during all this time npever accepted a nickel from a boxer, and never was even classed among the money grabbers of the sport. Helped Johhson Years Ago. When Jack Johnson was enduring the stings and jolts of poverty long ago, Stuart Douglas was a generous friend and kindly adviser to the big black fellow, and Johnson now con- siders hib one of the best on earth. “It jsn’t much I can do for you, Mr. Doug- las,” Johnson says, “but I'd like to have you referee, and, if I can’t, I want you, anyway, to be my timekeeper. While I a mwholly friendly with both Jeffries and Johnson,” says Mr. Douglas, “my best judgment convinces me that the black man will win.

Bancroft of .Cincinnati Tells of School Pitcher Who Turned the Trick. St. Louis, Mo, March 13.—“Pitching a no-hit game thirty years ago did not cause near the sensation in the world of baseball that the performance of such a feat does today,” said Business Manager Bencroft of = Cincinnati re- cently. “Why, 1 remember, back in 1879, more than thirty years ago, when J. Lee Richmond, now a teacher in a To- ledo high school, pitched a no-hit game the first time he worked in @ profes- sional contest, and _the didn’t cause any kind of a sti Richmond was a student at Brown university at the time and was pitch- ing some great ball 1 was managing the Worcester team and we needed a £00d_pitcher to face the Chicago club one day, 0 we sent to Providence for Richmond and he came on. “What he did in his first game is history. Not one member of the Chi- cago club reached first base on a hit. One player received a base on balls, but was thrown out trying to go to second. His regular catcher at Brown caught Richmond in that game and we paid the two $20 for their afternoon’ work. “After the game Pop Anson came to me and asked me if I had signed up Richmond. I told him I had but that wasn't true. That same afternoon I signed him to & contract calling for $100 a month. “We asked him %o pitch another game for us later. It was on the day he was to graduate. He graduated in the morning and in the afternoon was rushed to Worcester on a fast train. The opposition hammered him all over the lot that afternoon, but he was a sreat pitcher and soom was pitching rings around most of the flingers in the league.” EIGHT DISTANCE STARS IN 20-MILE RUN.

Cobb’s Speed Does It—Wagner by Out- guessing the Catcher. Detroit Am- According to the catchers of the big leagues, it is a question as to w! is the greatest base stealer, the mi. who can outguess a backstop or tie marn that can outspeed one. Hans Wagner of Pittsburg and Ty Cobb of Det.oit furnish excellent examples of thes: (wo distinct types of base rumners. The are the masters of their respective styles. More than half of the tims Cobb wiil take a catcher by surprise, an his speed is so great that the mwast perfe-s throw in the world would not caih him. On the other hand, Wagisr simply tries to outguess the catcher, and he does it on nearly every trial. The big Dutchman glides along the opinion that he is not going to try to steal. Then he starts. A ‘obb stole a great many more bases last season than did Wagner, but it was because he took a great many more chances. He was also in a great 'many more games. 3 “But one thing you want to bear ii mind,” says Catcher Archer of Chica- EO. “Wagner _stole the bases when they counted. Unless it was important to the game at the time, the Dutchman would not start. Cobb will start any time, just for the pure deviltry of it. He likes to see If he can beat the catchers’ throw. He figures that witn @ good start he can beat anybods’s throw to a base, and he is pretty near- y right. “Still,” continued Archer, “I fear Wagner on a base more than I would Cobb. I know Cobb's system pretty thoroughly, as I was on the Detroi: team with him for a long time, though 1 never played against him. I had the time of my life, though, last year try- ing to handle that fellow Wagner. “Wagner never makes any unneces- sary motions while running the bases. He has a sort of crouch, with hand: spread out, and the lower he bends the Dbetter he is prepared to make a sud- den dash. The only other man in the league who has the same motions is Hans Logan of the Cincinnati Rods. He runs bases much the same way, and is as fast as the great Haus, but does not use the same judgmert. Hence his success is not as great. “Cobb, on the other hand, the finast base stéaler of the American leagzn: is a different type of base stealer. He jumps up and down, first motioning v the initial. bag, and then making « feint for second. When he really wets soing he seems to go like a sprinter in a 100 yard dash, exerting every mus- cle, whereas Wagner almost slides along, after the fashion of a quarter- miler. “This art of base stealing is one of the greatest in bascball and is, with- out a doubt, the most spectacuiar fea- ture. I believe that a fan likes to see a base well stolen about as well as anything else in the game. And the thrill which spreads over you when you do succeed In advancing a sack in that manner is even greater than in lacing out a two bagger, for It is out- guessing the other team.” FAMOUS FIGHTERS HAVE PET PUNCHES. Johnson Waits for the Right Moment— Ketchel Always Slamming for a Knockout. Every pitcher has a cute curv which ‘he picks up to puzzle a bat man in a pinch, every slugger can kill a certain curve, every race horse is a flend for soft or hard footing to flash his fleetness, every grappler has a favorite grip and every fighter likes to fire his tape bound fist to the mark In @ certain groove (o score his knock- out ‘The pet punch of a pugilist has oft- en been so predominantly powerful in his ring tactics thaat it has led to a successfully executed ruse on the part of a foo which resulted in his down- fall. The entire system of many fight- ersis built on their particular punch. They fight with the object of batter- ing across the intervening space be- tween them and their oj-onent, past the guard, this favorite biow. Jack Johnson, the present occupant of the heavywelght throne, relies on ome wallop to strotch his foe senseless on the floor. He fights a slow, steady battle, watching like a hawk the chance to crash his glove with terrific impact on the vital spot. The Texan has a masterly left hand, but a risht hand uppercut is the aco in the hole of the champion, and with it he toppled over Tommy Burns,Stan- ley Ketchel, and it is the one with which he expects to execute his finish- ing stroke on the boilermaker. Johnson waits for his foe to lead. He encourages them to do So prior to the instant he intends to cleave them with the clip which will make the referee do his mathematics. He drew on Burns in Australia_and just as soon as he arose from the rosin, after being floor- ed by Ketchel, he staggered, and Sta ley, thinking he had his rival grogsy, flew in to finish him and was ripped on the jaw with that right hand uppercut and ‘knocked frigid. Three front teeth went out the instant Stanley aid. Anthracite Arthur can hit. He cute- Iy disguises the fact. He likes to am- ble along and win on points. He would sooner make his opponent miss and tumble about than to pound him to a pulp, but when Johnson is aggravated by the ring tactics or manmers of a foe he can pierce him with a punch which puts him into the land of taps. Hardest Hitter. _The hardest hitter in the American ring is Stanley Ketchel, the Michizan marvel, but he fights in wid spurts and frequently clever fighters have been able to dodge the deadly mis- siles when Ketchel whips at them. | Again Ketchel is always hitting and his guard is necessarily drawn wide open, leaving a path to his the punch of his opponent. Ketchel hits hardest with h hand, but his left shoulder swing is the delivery which drops most of the men who fight him. Dif- ferent from most of the men who have become famous knights of the slove, Stanley can strike his fos the unch which stuns them, be they com- ing, going, or standing feinting. Ketch- el can fight all fashions; he never does anything else when he is in the ring, but the big broadside which he counts on the slay is the left hook to the jaw.

Jack O'Connor took 39 St. Louls Browns to Houston, Tex., and 17 of ground at a fast clip, and he slides 5o accurately that a perfect throw will miss him 20 per cent. of the time. He uses his head entirely, while Cobb de- pends upon his wonderful speed. Cobb is of the nervous, fidgety varie- ty of players, and he gallops away like @ deer that has been jumped from a Dbrush pile. The young Georglan pays little attention to the catcher. He sim- ply makes up his mind when he is go- ing to start and he does not care whether the catcher knows # or not. He has absolute confidence in his speed and that wonderful lightning-like siide that has put so many basemen out of business. Wagner stands on the base and watches a catcher intently.
