D ENVER, Dec. 27.—Probably no
branch of sport suffers to the
same extent as does boxing In
the matter of brains. Wo don’t mean
the ordinary amount of gray matter
that we all possess, but the quick-as-
lightning thoughts that often bring a
battle to an end at the psychological
moment, or the kind that work so fast
that an apparently defeated man saves
himself from defeat. It Is the latter
kind of goods that are lacking in the
make-up of our fighters to-day. The
same thought germ that prowled about
In the noodles of McAuliffe, Dempsey,
Kid McCoy, Peter Jackson, Tommy
Ryan, Jim Corbett and others is not
visible when we view a contest now
adays.
Thinkers Are on Top.
It Is a sad commentary on our
fighting men’s mental caliber, to say
the least. And yet those who have
the Intelligence are on top, vl*: Wil
lie Ritchie, Johnnie Coulon, Packey
McFarland. Eddie McGoorty and a
few more of that type. None of them
is of the slugger variety, and yet
whenever they face one of these hay
maker products they make him ap
pear like a wooden man.
But in the period when the first-
named bunch thrived It was not only
If this Is the rose, there will be no | n battle of strength, skill and hitting
from the bench.
When the 1914 campaign opens,
there Is a possibility that only Joe
Birmingham, of the Naps, and Bill
Carrigan, of the Red Sox, will be play
ing managers. The other six will act
from the bench. Carrigan, being a
catcher, and with good understudies,
may not participate in a great num
ber of games, while Blrmy also may
be kept on the bench owing to a bad
leg
'TIE needs of the American
League clubs seem to be
about as follows:
Philadelphia—A right-handed bat
ting outfielder to replace Walsh, who
goas to New York.
Washington—A hard-hitting out
fielder and another right-handed
■ pitcher. .
Cleveland—a right-handed pitcher, ;
a ditcher and a right-handed batting
outfielder; first base could be Im- '
proved by the acquisition of a better
( batetr than Johnston.
/ Chicago—Outfielders of more all-
around ability than Bodle and Col
lins, and a better second baseman
than Berger.
Boston—A second baseman, a reg
ular flrat baieman and an under
study for Shortstop Wagner.
Detroit—One outfielder, three In-
fielder* and three pitcher*.
New York—First baseman, a pitch
er. a catcher and at least two out
fielders.
8t Louis—A catcher* a right-
! handed pitcher, a first baseman, a
second sacker, a shortstop and an
\ outfielder or two.
NEW YORK, Deo. 27.—It leaked out
during the National League meeting In
New York that Hughey Jennings, man
ager of the Detroit team, of the Amer
ican League, came within an ace of
landing the Jot) as manager of the
Brooklyn team.
The story goes that Jennings got the
Idea that If he were badly wanted In
the National League Detroit would let
him go. Hence he made certain under
ground overtures to Charles H. Ebbets.
The Brooklyn president was willing to
hear what he had to say, and Jennings
telephoned him from Manhattan that he
would visit Ebbets Field right away. He
hung up before he could be choked off.
What made the situation embarrass
ing for Ebbets was that In the office at
the time was Bill Dahlen, who had not
been officially informed that he was to
go, and who entertained hopes that he
would be reappointed. Ebbets slipped ’ <
the word to Ed McKeever, who was also ( /

powers—it was a fierce contest of Wit
vs. Wit, of brain pitted against brain
as well. The follow who could think
4ie fastest—providing the men were
equal in all other particular*-—won.
No falso movoa crept into the fray,
and every mother’s son of them knew
why and the reason for every blow
hey aimed at the top-piece of the
id versa ry or could give a grand ex
planation why they sent home “Bet
sy” to the mid-section when they
learned that the weak part of the
ramparts was In that spot.
Science Should Rule.
There was no throwing away of
strength, sameness or stamina Just to
bo busy and chance to fate that one
f the wild swings on rampage might
land in or on a vital spot and win the
contest, heaven knows how. T have
seen probably ten bouts in the last
month, and not in any alngle one of
them has intelligence been used. The
me old slam-bang stuff, the same
old chances of landing, the same old
clinch and struggle for freedom, the
same old dragging about the ring, but
not once a move that suggested an
iota of science of the game or a clever
maneuver with a straight lead, or
ross-counter, or a blocking of some
lead or swing for the head or body
Just chance pure and simple, both in
the offensive and defensive, consti
tuted all the work I saw, by which
they hoped to bring about results.
When the hue and cry to abolish
the London prize ring was heard all
over England, the venerable Marquis
of Queensberry, then a graduating
student from Oxford, framed a code
that had the effect of removing bru
tality from the fracas. Under this
new set of rules science was promul
gated and we graduated from the old
school of Sayers and .Mace to clever
or men with the fists, and Jem Mace
himself became the craftiest of the
whole lot. Men improved in boxing
skill for years After, and it is only
recently that we present the new
school of wallop without science and
trust to luck to win or lose.

readily that I felt enormously flat

Possibly unduly flattered, I decided
later, when I heard somebody saying
ho would bet Chick Evans knew be

he had met casually in his travels.
“I never saw such a facultv for re

I except to the politician. A poli
tician is a good fellow from policy-—
usually. Chick Evans la a good fel

joys living as much as anybody I
ever saw, and he doesn’t care who
knows how good a time he is having.
Chick Evans enjoys playing golf,
and he enjoys talking about golf. In
the clubhouse after his match Sat
urday he was promptly the center of
a group of golf* bugs, all (It seemed)

know if Chick gripped the club with

Chick Evans is something more

fairly good hitter.
EW YORK, Dec. 27.—It appears
that John Harvard was Just
bound and determined to bat
some Western college Into a football
argument next fall. Never was such
a fussy old party loose in the land
with a schedule to fill. Being haught
ily repelled at Chicago, the Cambridge
institution began picking on Michi
gan, with the result that it will in
veigle the Wolverines Into the Har
vard arena along about October.
Therefore, let us all exude one long,
subdued tear for the team!
We have been hearing a great deal
of conversation about what some of
these Western football teams would
do to the Eastern pigskin rollers If
they could only get a chance to do it;
in fact, we felt that way about it our
selves We felt that the Easterners
were obstinately depriving the under
takers of a lot of work by not per
mitting the W r estem football teams
to Impinge upon the Eastern sched
ule. We felt that the Easterners were
a mighty nefarious lot for not allow
ing the West to horn in somewhere.
When Harvard recently suggested
a willingness to play Chicago we an
ticipated a mad rush from the insti
tution that stands for the all that is
Westerly, as well as for the name of
John D. Rockefeller. W'e had gath
ered the impression that the West
erners were simply fining away for
ah opportunity to leap on the poor
Easterners, but It soon developed
that such was by no n^ans the unan
imous case. Some of tVe Chicagoans
may have wanted to leap all right
enough, but they wanted to leap with
reservations.
Whereupon John Harvard set about
stalking the proteges of “Hurry-up”
Yost, which la a Western college all
right enough. Michigan was willing.
Michigan always seems willing, and
so we are to have a great lnterseo-
tional clash.
Harvard Is the acknowledged foot
ball champion of the East. Maybe
you disagree with that view, and
maybe we disagree with that view',
but that’s the way the Crimson Is
rated by the football sharks. It will
open 1914 as champion, and any team
that licks Harvard licks the cham
pion. v
That talk about the game not be
ing for the championship of anything
in particular is all very nice, but you
know, and everybody knows, that it
will be Just about the biggest thing
in the football line that will be staged
next season.

OW that an international polo
match In 1914 Is practically
»nred, th» American spor;-
lovlng- public may look forward with
keen anticipation to witnessing again
thl* most thrilling and most wonder
ful sport In the world.
The American “Big Four— won orer
the English Invaders last June, but
only after nlaylng the grandest, moat
death-defying game ever staged on
any field. Only after they were forced
to the end of human endurance, forc
ing to the limit their powerful poale*,
riding with the speed of a whirlwind,
unmindful of life or limb, were they
able to triumph over the wonderful
Britons.
tl'hat are the Americana’ chaoses
of repeating the victory In 19141
This Is the big question pAlo en
thusiasts are asking to-day, and It I*
one that will be difficult to annrer
The team that represented the British
last year has been scattered to the
four points of the compass; an en
tirely new quartet of invaders will
make their appearanoe.
The chances are that the old “Bl®
Four” combination, which ha» brought
so much glory to the Americana from
the polo battlefields, never will utay
together again. A now team win be
chosen, and Devereeuc Mtlbnrn, re
garded as the greatest pololst that
ever swung a mallet, will be tile only
member left of the famous *TB1*
Four."
The new American oomhtaatJno
probably will be: 1, Rene La Mon
tague; 2. Deveretoc Mllburn; 8, Louts
E. Stoddard; back, Malcolm Steven
son.
The Polo Association, which names
the team, figures that with Mfibum
playing forward and Stevenson as
goal guardian, the American team
would be noticeably stronger. MU-
burn is a wonderful player at any po
sition, while Stevenson’s greatest
value Is In the backfield.

the little Harlem lightweight has been.
Tommy was fighting when Joe Gans
was champion, and he saw Bat Nelson

and still he is in the game and many
believe fighting better than ever.
Murphy was In the ring when Young
Corbett, Jimmy Britt. Eddie Hanlon,
Benny Yanger and scores of other great
fighters were In their prime, yet he
alone remains of the lot to-day. And
during all those years he never got the
opportunity to fight for the lightweight
title True, Tommy was a feather

of his ring career, but even at that
time he never had the chance to get to
the top.
