Heavyweights Put Up Fast Bout
By Left Hook.
OCAL fans who saw Jesse Wil
l lard, the Kansas Cily cowhoy,
polish off George Rodel in s'%
rounds last night are to-day of the
opinion that. with the possible oy
ception of Gunboat Smith, Willurd
to-day is by far the greatest of ¢l
the “white hopes”
Using the =ame sort of an upper
eut that Jack Johnson made famous
in his plamiest days, Willard ripped
the Boer's mouth and punched him o
badly that it .wasx only human for
Count Lou Castro to stop the bout in
the Sixth round
When it is taken into consideration
that this same Rodel has fonght some
of the greatest white heavywelghts n
the country, Wiilard's work last night
can not be praised too much. He maie
Rodel look like a baby in his hands,
and at times the Boer's attempt to|
land jumping swings at Wiltard's jaw |
were laughable. |
.- . ‘
o‘\'l‘; thing, however, can he sald of |
Rodel. He certainly is the
amest big man in the game to-day |
ft ig the writer's opinion that a righ! |
cross that landed flush on Rodel's jaw ]
in the first ten seconds of the bout !
decided last night's fight. Willard |
vaught Rodel with this wallop as the |
men came o the center of the ring, |
and from that time on Rodel fougat
in a dazed condition,
Jess proved himself last nlght (o e
a good two-handed fighter He used
to have much trouhble in nsing his left
hand. but he has surely educated tins
member. He would feint Rodel with |
his left and when Rode! would fa'l |
into a clinch the cowboy battler wounld |
bring home his right uppercut with

l T would be rather a hard matter to
write a polite criticism of the
Tuesday game at Ponce Delleon.
There certainly would not be many
compliments to make on it. But 1
am too old a hird by far to overlook
the fact that these awful games will
rop out onve In a while, like the
measles or the chicken-pox. The bovs
feem to have a certain amount of
wild play in their systems, and they
have to get It out.
But | should figure that so far as
Memphis is concerned the mere fact
that Atlanta won, 11 to 7, does. not
simply prove that Memphis was hav
ing a bad day I should say that
the club is a veryv shaky affair; for
while a good teamn will have an off

Memphis Tuesday {

l AM informed that Manager Finn,
who took over the Memphis club
thiz vear, had such a poor lot of
players that he et practically all of
them go and set out to rebuild his
ieam from the bottom, That is a good
idea, especially when the old team
nas acquired the losing habit—for
there is such a hablt, and don't you
forget it
Then | noticed that Manager Finn
apparently not pieased with the way
his new hands looked, switched his
line-up and tried some mu!h-l«h-re'inl
the infield, and the other way round.
I must say that I do not care lul‘!
that system, although it is possible
for a player to be so uncertain that
#a complete change of sceneiy will
help him. But this is not the case
where a real ball player is concern

(‘ ETTING down to the game itself,
T | may state that I do not recall
ever seeing more fluke hits in one
contest, The so-called Cincinnati
base-hit is partly to hlame, We did
not have it in our day: we scored
these plays a fielder's cholce, and
that is what it ought to be, Then
there were half a dozen bunts heaten
out that didn’t look to me as if they
were placed any too safely. 1| imag
ine “Bad Bill” Kveritt would have
fielded most of them., He was one of
the fastest men on the one-hand play
I have ever seen.

\/VI'I’H the ragged flelding there
was a lot of sloppy pitching.
Efird had a comfortable lead after
the first inning. but it appeared to
me he counted on it too much and
took things toe easily. That is a bad
practice. [ have seen a pitcher ecase
up in the ninth inning with a lead
of ten runs, and before he knew what
was coming olf, the score was tjed
up, and he eventually was beaten,
Of course, | could have sent in a
reliet pitcher, but the game was not
important, and I wanted this young
slabman to get a lesson. He got the
lesson, and it was the making of him.
Thereafter he kept right on top of
the job, and never gave the enemy an
opening for nothing, {
» . .
TH.\'l‘ is a very odd thing, thé way
a team will Keep after a pitcher
when he is on the run. A few of the
masters of the game can take liber
ties with the opposing teamg can let
down and tighten up at \\ii‘.\hul let
a ball club once get to hitting the
average pitcher, and the thing to do
is to yank him before the game is
gone I noticed that Manager Smith
had a pitcher warmed up all the time

being too ready to relieve a pitcher,

T.\LKING of pulling a pitcher gets
me to thinking of the old days

expected 1o go through without

best examople of conslstent box work

well to say that he had not the curve

He was a winner with what he had,
and he would have been a winner in
these davs, just the same. Winners
are born. not made, 1 sometimes
think. There is more in the heart
than in the arm, or even in the brain

to read that it devends on both heart
and brain, and one is of little use

away, it wouldn't look much like a
cinch. You know any fast ball has a
“hop” on it, and the speed and con
trol those fast-ball pitchers possessed
were simply wonderful. Why, a team
used to carry extra catchers instead
of extra pitchers in those days; they
couldn't stand the pounding.
* . -
I MENTIONED the spitball as possi
blv a new wrinkle since 1 led the
White Stockings. I am not at all sure
even that is new, There was a pitch
er named Matthews, and another one,
Conway, who, I believe, produced and
used a regular spitball in their work,
away back 25 years ago.
i I recall that both these men had a
moest peculiar break to their ball—a
sudden dart downward that looked, as
1 recall it, exactly like the break of
the spitter to-day. ,Also both these
men moistened the ball continually,
and their catchers always were com
plaining that the pitching was tear
ing them to pieces. That sounds like
the spitball, for it flies dead through
the air, and is the “heaviest” ball
known to the game.
Whether these men realized just
hew the peculiar break was produced
and were too smart to tip it off, or
s whether they just stumbled on the de
livery and used it without reasoning, I
!ne\'er have been able to decide. But
| I feel sure that we were facing the
| spitball many vears before Jack Ches
| bro brought it into prominence—
along about 1903, T believe it was.

SPORTING COMMENT
By Ed W. Smith.
HICAGO, April 29.—Matty
‘ McCue never will have a
better chance of whipping
a high-class man in the first
round that he had with Joe Man
%?t in the Racine ring last weck.
Matty didn't know it at the time,
and probably won't know it un
til he reads this. Mandot told us
the story to-day because he
thought he had a mighty narrow
escape. After relating the de
tails, he philosophized to the ex
tent of stating that the sporting
world seldom knows the little in
side facts of fights, and had he
been knocked out in that opening
round, when he was almost help
less, he never could have ex
cused it; in fact, never would
have attempted to do so.
% - * * &
HERE are the inside facts of
that opening round as told
in Joe's own words: ‘'“We had
been boxing only about a minute,
I imagine, when he swung a left
that 1 drew back from. We were
in close at the time, and his glove
just flicked across my left eye
bhall. Instantly I went blind as a
bat. The pain was excruciating
and 1 positively could not see Mc-
Cue at all, knowing only in an
instinctive way where he was
moving. You may remember that
up to that time I had been fore
ing him, hoping to land some sort
of a punch that might take some
of the punching power out of him.
* " *
“]\/lIND you, it was not a hard
& punch, but merely a glanc
ing flick, but it was worse than
a whack right on the jaw. Ever
get a sharp cinder in your eye?
It was the same sensation. I
backed off, with guard well up,
feeling instinctively that if he
came at me and landed he would
knock me out sure. I tried to
bluff him off, and guess I suc
ceeded, and after a few moments
the film that seemed to cover
both of my eyes cleared away 3
little and T was able to keep
track of his movements about the
ring.

-tw HEN | got back to my cor
ner, I found that Tommy
Walsh had noticed the queer look
that came into my face and was
worrying about it. I told him 1
had had a close call, but that it
was all over now and that I could
see as well as ever. I lied a lit

HWE can talk freely about the
httle ‘incident now, but
suppose that McCue had swung
on my jaw and knocked me oui
right there. Would the world ever
have accepted my alibi about the
flick in the eye that 1 got? 1
don’t belteve so. They would
have said that McCue knocked
me out, that 1 was a has-heen,
never could fight much, and more
of that line of stuff. It just goes
to show how very little things
sometimes lead into mighty se
rious results.”
* * - »
MANDDT is a manly Jellow,
square as a die and prone
to give every opponent due credit
for what he does. The usual run
of fighters belittle an opponent
whenever they can, especially if
they think they have beaten the
foe. Not so with Mandot. Be
lieving that he bhested McCue
squarely and fairly, and that he
was entitled to the decision,
Mandot speaks in highest terms
of McCue's hitting strength,
gameness and general worth as
a fighter. “He should some day
be a great little man,” he told
me. ‘‘He hits as hard as Leach
Cross or Joe Rivers.”
- - *
MANAGER WALSH' defends
Mandot's system of battling
McCue in a peculiar manner. Lots
of Joe’s friends found fault with
him for sailing into McCue and
taking the numerous chances that
he did, especially in the third
round, that nearly wound up the
French boy’s career. “When Joe
got back to his corner at the end
of the sixth,” quoth Tommy, “I
told him he had it safe and to
just keep sticking out his left,
Joe smiled a little and then said,
‘No, Tommy; they expect more
of me than that; I've got to fight
this fellow.” That shows that Joe
is a game one as well as a smart
fighter, who is mindful of what
he owes the spectators.”
