_ BIRDS TWEET A _ BATTLING SAILOR IS COUNTED OUT BY EDWARD HILL 6c AN the lifeboats, the ship is sinking,” or words to that effect, were the first to be uttered by Eddi MecLarney, the sailor welter weight, last night in Dream land, after being assisted te his seat in the corner from the center of the ring, where he had been reclining on his nose. | Frankie Burns, Oakland “Vightweight, was direct Sponsible for the rechning po sition affected by the mitt-| inging tar, For three rounds Burns kept too many gloves buzzing around McLarney’s head to make him feel at home and when Frankie saw the opening he had been waiting for, about the middle of the fourth chap-| ter, he copped the mariner on} the chin and Eddie went down with his flag flying from amid- ship, ' \ BURNS AGAIN SHOWED CLASS In his bout with MecLarney, the] ‘ Oakland gladiator again showed) much class in handling the gloves, His blocking and punching were a revelation to Seattle boxing fans) who had never seen him in action before. Ray Campbell challenged the winner and may be given a erack at Burns ere long. In the other main attraction, Ed- die Pinkman, banker, boulevardier, merchant and vegetartan, lost a de- cision to Chet Neff, Dan Salt's! promising lightweight. Eddie was) inclined to keep away from Neff, and worked like he jas trying to slip over a k. 0. Neff preferred to do his battling at close quarters and put plenty of roughness into mixes.

TED FAULK HAS ALL PEP © NEEDED FOR HIM TO BE ‘A STAR AT BASKETBALL In trying to reconstruct his basketball five before south to meet the University of Oregon quintet and the O. A. C. squad, Capt. and Coach Jack Davidson has placed Ted Faulk, the big Varsity football star, at center. the first night out that he had all the fight needed to make a basketball star. Faulk showed Gotham Fans Like to See No matter what happens, Faulk is always chanting the Varsity war ‘Em, Fight "Em, Wash: When any of the football they recall one of the lectures that Gil Doble gave The lecture took place be the field, and now you can’t players hear T | him, California and ey. ik had been Hving quite high at the university's expense, eating steak and all things that a football athlete is ex- leave untouched. game started with Ted having plen ty of pep, but his true condition began to show and Ted began to |run fast enough to keep warm. a forward pass to Faulk, who had every opportunity in the world to catch it and con-|tunity.

And the long hits result from the great leverage they get which can not be attained by the player wit! hokes” up on his bat and pokes the ball The longest hitter is not nec- essarily the leading batter, and at the present time it is re- markable that the most power- ful hitters in the two leag are not even in the .300 clas: Walter Pipp was generally cred ited the heaviest hitter in the American league last year. He bat ted only .262, but he led the league in home runs and made many triples and doubles. All of bis drives were long and cras: the outfield with remarkable speed and force. There may be many fans who question Pipp’s right to be consid- ered the heaviest swatter in the league. I put the question up to | Billy Evans, a great judge of bat ting, who told me he considered Pipp superior to either Sam Craw. ford or Joe Jackson on long drives. Pipp is a tall, long-armed man. He uses a 42-inch bat, the longest permitted by base- ball rul the bi free there is a tremendous behind the sphere, Crawforl and Jackson are both long-armed, Both meet the ball with free swings and get the ad- vantage of leverag In the National league, the hard est hitter perhaps is Fred Luderus of the Philadelphia club, 289 bat ter last year, whose great reach, aided by the length of his war club, gives: him tremendous hitting power Heino Zimmerman, who uses a much iighter bat, and Cy Williams of Chicago, are also terrific hitters Both are long-armed and use long bata The leverage principle has al- ways applied in baseball Perhaps the hardest hitter of all times was Ed Delehanty, whose death 14 years ago end. short arms or the player who| ed to | better man untll the two have had a chance to mill it out in a long bout, with a referee's decision tacked onto the last round Mach bout between the two in New York has resulted in an over- whelming opinion among New York newspapers in favor of Miske. Pach time, however, there have been enough dissenting voices to make it quite apparent that enough of a shade was not earned to war- rant a decision. In the first bout, two papers awarded a decision to Dillon, while | two others called the bout a draw. Slam-Bang Affair Such slamming and banging as has been indulged in by these boys certainly calls for a better opportu- nity then has been afforded in New York, with a referee who refused to recognize that Queensberry rules call for a man to fight with one arm free, They deserve a bout some- where where the proceeds will be enough to compensate them for the splendid exhibitions they give. Also, they deserve the decision that would be given. New York promoters undoubtedly will be after a return match be- tween the boys. The fans like that kind of milling, and they'd be the greatest attraction possible, with the exception of Les Darcy, in their division, It is not improbable that Darcy will be matched with one or the other, ed one of the most remarkable careers in baseball. Delehanty was a free, hard hit- ter, whose consistency with the club made him one of the most feared men to pitchers and out- fielders. His average of .365 for 12 years is one of the most re- markable in the major leagues, Delehanty lacked an inch of be ing 6 feet tall, but he had remark. ably long arms and used a long bat.
