— BRONX BOY, ONCE W Bobby Barrett Developing Fast as Contender for Light- weight Title. ' NE of the most sensational O lightweights coming up to challenge Benny Leonard is Bobby Barrett, the Pennsylvania Youngster who knocked out Hynle Gold recently in three rounds. In his home town they call him “One Punch Bobbie.” James Dougherty, who never misses seeing a championship bout, makes some strong claims for Bar- ‘Here is a real fighter,” says Dougherty. “The type of old Bob Fitzsimmons. The best lightweight fn the world, in my opinion, is Lew Tendler of Philadelphia—and Barrett did more to Gold than Tendler could. I think this entitles him to a fight with Leonard. ‘He will fight Leonard at 135 at 3 o'clock for the lightweight champion- hip of the world, and Leonard can make his own terms, am as sure Barrett can stop him as I was Dempsey would stop Jess Willard. Barrett is the hardest hit- ting lightweight that ever entered a ring. Outside of Dempsey there isn't a heavyweight who hits as hard as this little fellow. That’s what Jack Kearns admitted after seeing Barrett knock. out his lightweight. “Barrett doesn’t show much class as & boxer, but knock him down a cou- plé of times or sting him with a hard punch and it starts him fighting at his best. He doesn’t win on points, and there may be lots of lightweights , Who could outpoint him if they could stay with him. He knocks them out to win, and when he finds his open- ing he only needs one sock.’ Barrett was born in England and came to America at two years of age, His father taught him boxing as soon as he could lift his hands, and took him to see many fights when he was small boy. His grandfather was a sparring partner for English Cham- pion Tom Sayers when Sayres fought John C, Heenan, the Benicia boy, for the world’s heavyweight champion- ship in England, 1960. A RECORD OF KNOCKOUTS. As an amateur Barrett didn't show any punch, In his first professional bout, against a fellow known as “Russian Bear," he was given a bad beating. Coming up groggy from tho fourth knockdown he stopped trying fo spar and swung his right, winning with a clean one-punch knockout. Barrett has been “‘tipping ‘em over’ ‘won twelve of them with knockouts in twenty-four rounds. Less than twenty-four, in fact, for he won four in the first round, four in the second, four in the third. None went over three. Last year he won seven out of nine with knockouts. Great fighter though Benny Leon- ard is, some youngster will come along and put over a championship punch one of these days. All cham- pions go that way if they stay in the game. There's a pit of luck in it, perhaps. A champidn may be just Iittle better than the best of his rivals and sometimes he will relax his caution for an instant, or the other fellow will drive home an exception- ally good punch, Then there's a new title holder and the world thinks the new champ must be one of the greatest fighters known in his class. Benny probably has the chance of each rival carefully figured out. Otherwise why should he dodge meet- img Tendler—an inferior boxer, but always dangerous? Possibly Barrett could get on with Tendier, If he beat Leonard's most annoying challenger, the champion could hardly avoid meeting him. Or Barrett might scrap it out with Johnny Dundee, who is willing to give any of them a chance any time there's a good purse offered. With the news that Jack Dempsey wes sailing for Europe Georges Car- pentier miraculously recovered his health. Georges has invited the champ to visit him at his country home in France and shoot a golf match.

JERRY-HES A GREAT KID-) Dick Rudolph of Braves Crossed in Cumeback Role By Hard-Hitting Giants Baldheaded Pitcher Does Well }* for a Time, but Is Rudely Treated at Finish. By Bozeman Bulger. ICK RUDOLPH is getting old— Dre one whit different from the rest of us. He's balder, if any- thing. Score, New York 5, Boston 2. It would be nice, clubby, a snappy morsel—the story of the old pitcher with bent back and creaky hinges who shuffled into the box and stood the Smart Alecks on their ears. Fellows getting gray would smack their lips over tnat for a week, But the dick- ens of it is old Dick crossed us. He didn’t do any such>thing, After the sixth inning the upstarts even had him ducking. ‘The heralded second debut was a bust. Dick'll be a full week getting the cricks out of his back—and he'll call it lumbago, Thirty thousand of that big erowd, disrespectful of age, exged the Giants on, yelping and yowling. There were two thousand, though, downright dis- appointed. They are those now old enough to get home late for dinner and not be missed—you and I. We can remember when Dick Rudolph and Hank Gowdy won a world’s series single—or double—handed—and went into vaudeville over it. ‘This comeback of an old master had been pegged by baseball addicts as an important matter. Due to reports from the South it smacked of ro- mance, of sentiment. The young Giants, though, smacked of and with the old ash, Rudolph, Bronx hero of the past, was able to pitch just one game last season, but spring rumor had it that he had located the rusty hinge, had giled it up and was himself again. Against other major league clubs, in practice, he was a maneater, He was primed, cocked and saved up to hurl against the Champs—no less—as a starter. We all got set. For six innings it looked as if the old wizard really was going to attend to this hitting matter that's been go- ing on up at the Polo Grounds of late. With all of his ancient art, coolness and cunning he wormed that spitter and its companion—the bluff spitter— around our young gents like a wind- ing sheet. Not a run and but four hits made during that period. All over the stand fussy old boys of forty were chuckling. Then— Dick became more at ease and care- free. Forgetting himself, he slipped George Kelley a fast ball, Bang! It was shot right back at him for a single. Having read the papers, the Old Master was then a little wary of our new Mr. Shinners. Fearing to give @ good ball, he worked the corners too close and Shinners walked, MoGraw thereupon crossed Dick by shaking his head when Earl Smith started to bunt. “Bust it on the nose!” he signalled, and that's what Earl did From then on everybody singling. It became epidemic it was over the Glants had thre which were enough. In the eighth, though, Dick got careless again, with a man on base. and gave Kelley a nice fat one on th inside of the plate. You know what that means. In a flash the ole pill was bouncing around in a crowd of whooping and hopping fans in the stands, Jt was a whale of a home run—what the more cultured fellows call a homeric swat In the meantime old Hank Gowdy was back there catching and quar relling and pepping things up in his same old style. Hank upheld the honor of the ancient pair by fattening the ole apple as well as bata it started When runs, ound the but he wasn't enough That's about all that happened over Sunday, except that Artie Nehf just left-handed the Boston boys to death. To-day they're going to try it again, with Phil Douglass a-shuffling around for the Giant bases, While the new Braves are just as quarrelsome and argumentative as the old ones, they don't seem quite so much of a ball club as we had been led to believe. They don't hit with assurance and they don't seem to be working like a well trained pack. Maybe they'll get going to-day. On one oc on when Horace Ford, the Bostonian second baseman, thought he had made a double pI he was much surprised a bergasted to learn that man didn't think that way at al! That started a terrible hullabaloo and the Braves began to look like ther selves.

But nothing came of it. Mr. Pfirman, though new to our league, knew that umpires never change their decisions. By the way, that Mr. Pfirman looks pretty good John Heydler is a good picker. If the Giants keep up this pickling of the ole onton, as Ping Bodie would say, they are going to have e members of the regular line-up hitting close to .350, Even the pitchers are hitting around .300. In the four games already played the Champs have made enough hits to last some clubs half a month. They’ve averaged better than ten to the game.

By Robert Boyd. BOSTON, April 17. iE Yankees arrived here this I morning from Baltimore where they engaged in an exhibition game with Jack Dunn's International League Champions. The team is here for a series of four games with Harry Frazee'’s Red Sox and then they will return to the Polo Grounds to open the 1922 season at home Thursday. Miller Huggins, like the well known title to the picture “I Wonder What He Is Thinking About," is a hard fel- low to understand. He is carefully watching the St. Louis Browns and Tris Speaker's Indians. These two clubs are the ones he thinks he will have to beat to repeat his triumph of last year, Cleveland has been hitting the ball hard in all the games they have played, Bagby pitched his first game of the 1922 season and his work bore evidence that he has returned to the form that once made him the leading twirler in the younger circuit. This is not welcome news to “Hug.” Then the work of. Danforth in the second game played by the St. Louis Browns revealed that another pitcher of the Shocker, Faber type has loomed up on the horizon. All this helps to put a few more wrinkles in the sun-burned count- enance of the mite manager. Huggins may do less talking than other big league managers, byt no one will ever accuse him of not being a deep thinker, Any day now Huggins is likely to announce the acquisition of a new outfielder. He says he realizes the importance of reinforcing his outer defense before the season goes any further. It is safe to venture that the ascertaining of how the rival managers in the American League have strengthened their teams since last year and how his own team has deteriorated since winning the pen- nant last fall, is giving him a lot to think about. Huggins smiled after watching Waite Hoyt trounce the Senators in the last game of their series Satur- HOW THEY STAND x k * NATIONAL LEAGUE, Chicago. 22 .500| Boston... 1 GAMES YESTERDAY.

He took things easy and when the players looked as if they would send a run across the Flatbush boy would tighten up and retire them with ease.

Jack Quinn, the former Yankee pitcher and one of the last survivors of the spit-ball hurlers, will probably pitch against his former teammates for the Red Sox. ees MARION HOLLINS RETURNS FROM TRIP TO BOSTON Miss Marion Hollins, the women’s na- tional golf champion, returned yesterday from a flying visit made to Boston in the interests of the Women’s National Golf and Tennis Club at Glen Head, L. 1, of which she is chairman of the Ex- ecutive Committee.
