LASSEN YERETT YARYAN, the new catcher of the Seattle Indians, purchased from the Chicago White Sox, is no Charley Paddock when it comes to speed, but he’s a regular horse for work and packs a mean wallop when rapping the leather apple. Such is the summary of the new receiver received from Billy Evans, famous American eague umpire and sports writer. “Yaryan won't burn up the Coast league by any means,” says Evans, “but he should} make the Seattle club a good man.

The public has judged—that part to which he had appealed, at least. The occasion was his first arena exhibi- tion, in the Hollywood stadium of the Amer ican legion, a few nights ago, when he boxed © a charity bout. A pitiable giant garnished with grins and pathetic yearn- ing tor the glory of yesteryear, plodding the long, long trail to fighting fitness, bute—--—— failing to show come-back requisites of championship. So ringsiders and sports writers saw and estimated Willard in action against his sparring adversaries, Tom Kennedy and Joe Bonds, WHAT RING EXPERTS SAY Bald a veteran sporting editor, friend of the big Kansan: “Any pro- | moter who matches Jess with Demp- } } Deny |ney ought to be hanged—it would} 5, .c00e has o basketball tou of | be a crime.” Said another ring critic: “If Jess] A league of colored basketball will start piny in) week. York city Unie came into Jack with his hands They are members of the basket- |down as he did here Dempsey would bal federation there, and the winners will play off with the champions of the ether sections, |break every rib in his body before | he could get ‘em up.” Still another: “It was expected | that Jess Willard, clamoring for aj) return match, would at least go about his business with some show of something, earnestness for exam- ple. He did not show one character- istic of the ex-champion, iet alone a champlonship prospect.” | CAN'T MAKE THE GRADE There are whispers that Jess him- self has about concluded that he) can’t make the grade. He has trained seriously for several months and has stripped off some 30 pounds of fat, still hovering in the neighbor- hood of 260. But he packs consid. erable overweight which seems to lelude all training rigors—apparently | nature's irreducible minimum for a/ man of his years, 39, frame and| poundage. j In clownish bravado he presented that fulsome tummy to be hammered | at by his sparring partners. They whacked away at it with dull thuds | while Jess giggled. He was slow and looked soft. His capers suggested a pretense at sprightliness which you expected him to relax in the privacy of his Gressing room.
