Instead of finishing th fight while he had the chance, Corbett decided to string it out and dem- onstrate his cleverness to the admiring rail birds. The baldheaded battler’s head cleared before the next round, and Corbett never had a chance from then on, Jess Willard considered Jack Dempsey such a cinch that he spent half of his training period loafing and declined to go thru some of the more strenuous conditioning stunts, such as skipping the rope. Dempsey looks to be the better man, and probably would have won the fight anyway, but Willard’s softness made him an easy mark for the Utah mauler.

The brains of Charley Erb alone saved the de- moralized California Bears from defeat. When their powerful attack, which had never been halted for two seasons, fell down, and when their “invincible” line was rip- ped by the W. and J. backs, Erb put his team on the defensive for the entire game, staving off defeat thru Archie Nis- bet’s punting. Probably Erb realized that any op- ponent must be respected until he is beaten, and was the only Bruin to go into the game with same sized headgear he wore at the beginning of the season. SAD NEED OF GENERAL HOUSE CLEANING Same Second Sackers for Coast Ball Clubs Vernon and Oakland Expected to Have New Men, While Jack Miller Moves in at Frisco; Portland- Seattle Layout Still Up in the Air BY LEO H.

There may — be one or two shifts, but for the most fi part veterans will return. a San Francisco is the only cinch to have — a new second-base tosser. Jack Miller, the ~ veteran National leaguer, who will manage the Seals during the 1922 campaign, will most likely play that position for the Golden Gate nine.
