ONE OF THESE
BOXERS LIKELY
TO COP CHOI
By JOE WKILLIAMS
NEW YORK—For the flr»t time
■inc« 1904, when Young Corbett and
Terry McGovern moved up Simul
taneously to the lightweight divi
sion, the featherweight* are with
out a digital Indltrator.
A Jewish boy, one Abraham At
tell, claimed the vacated title then,
was matched with Harry Forhc*.
won by n knockout In five round*,
and wa* recognized n* the cham
pion.
Two Jewish boya are now claim
ing tho title recently outgrown by
Johnny Dundee, portly spaghetti
addet.
One I* Houle Kid Kaplan of Meri
den. Conn., emigrant from Russia.
The other I* Danny Kramer of
Philadelphia, hard-boiled product of
the Quakertown street corner*.
Mr. Rickard ha* been crying elo
quently In hi* consomme because of
a dearth of logical opponent*. Let
lilm match Kramer with Kaplan,
and he will have the next feather
weight champion.
KRAMER
HARDER HITTER
Wise egg* In Tin Rear alley telr
me Kramer will beat Kaplan.
Kramer I* a knocker-out and n
southpaw. Ills lrft literally explodes
1n your face, 1 saw him bang Kid
Wolfe on the whiskers several years
ago. Wolfo dropped as If he had
been shot, and didn't movo for 10
minute*.
A week later Wolfe wa* rammed
by an automobile and knocked un.
con*clou*. When he came to he
wanted to know what Kramer had
bit him with. Wolfe himielf will toll
yon thl* 1* no Joke.
Kaplan I* n better all-round
workman than Kamor. He Is a
stiff puncher. If not a knocker-out,
and a better defensive fighter. It Is I
not hard to hit Kramer. George
Chaney. Italtlmore lightweight,
knocked him quivering not so long
ago.
None of the boys are dropping
Kaplan f r the count, and he has
mingled with the lightweights, too,
Kaplan showed up l’al Moran worse
than Denny Leonard did. nnd he
bounced enough punches off Johnny
Rhugrue'a noble pan to earn the de
cision.
HERE'S ONE
SURE BET
You ara reasonably safe In mak
ing n wafer (hat (he nnmr nf the

l ogin with "K."
Kllbann was the last "K” to hold
the title and Killy was. In some re.
specie, a great little champion. This
writer never saw. for one thing,
anybody with a better one-two
punch.
The featherweight division has
been represented at the top by
more different nationalities than
nnv other fighting group.
fleorge Dixon, probably greatest
nf all feathers, was a negro. Kittle
Chocolate they called him, and he
held the title on three different oc

Selects Kelly
Most Valuable
Utility Player
CINCINNATI -Manager Jack Hen
dr.cka of the iteds consider! George
Kelly of the New York Giants the
most valuable utility player In the
ivsllonsl League, It not both major
organisations.
The fine showing of Kelly In the
world series, desplls the fact that he
struck out twice In a pinch In the
flnnl game, bears out Hendricks'
opinion of him.
Kelly Is h great first baseman—a
fine target for the Infielders. He has
a wonderful arm and la a dangerous
bitter.
Filling In at second bass In the
series when Krlsch whs moved over
to third, Kelly saved the first game
by a remarkable play on Ooalln. In
tha outfield he played squally welt.
There are few players In the majors
who can perform In the Infield or
outfield at capably as Kelly does.

BILLY EVANS SAYS
"On the gridiron too much credit
goes to the player carrying the
bull."
Ivnute Ilockne, famous Notro
Dame coach, made that remark to
me a your ago while we were dis
cussing some of the individual per
formances of outstanding sturs.
"if a team has a fleet back who
oan tuke udvuntago of the oppor
tunities largely made possible by
his teammates, to that Individual
goes most of the glory for a team's
success," continued Kockne.
"It Isn't right, hut prubably will
always he that way, since It's the
player who makes the touchdown
rather than the athlete who paves
the way that breaks into the head
lines."
Knute Roeknn is one of the
game's greatest coaches, ilia fame
wilt live forever. Just a few weeks
ago, Major Cavsimugh, wonder
coach of the Huston College eleven
made a similar statement to me.
Tioston college was playing Syra
cuse. Coach Cavanaugh had been
Instructed that his players must
stop Halfback Bowman If ho was to
have a chance.
Bowman, fleet of foot, famed for
I his work In the 440-ynrd collegium
runs, was touted as the player Bos
ton College must atop,
i "The ball carrier isn't the man
you have to stop,” remarked <’a
vanaugh. "you must get the fellows
who make the Interference, pave
the way.
“If your forwards are breaking
through nnd your ends are not
being boxed, s team doesn't need to
fear a fleet hack. At least not to
the extent generally believed.
"The line must hold, the Inter
ference must clear the way. If the
star hack Is to strut his stuff for
long runs."
"Often In watching a certain
player too closely. one or more
players not so highly touted make
all the trouble."
Cavanaugh's predictions came
true that very afternoon, Tioston
College stopped Bowman to a
whisper but while It was being
done. Foley and Mcßride got easy
often enough to win the game.
"Football experts snd fans hand
too much glory to tha ball carrier.
"In ao doing they lose much of
the play, for often the work of the
men making the Interference tg ns
thrilling gs the advance of the hall
carrier
"Credit 1s never oronerlv dis
tributed In a football victory,"
opines Cavanaugh.
Perhaps no football team tn the
country offers a more striking Il
lustration of the shove truth than
University of Illinois
In Orange. Illinois has one of the
greatest backs of all time. He Is
fleet of foot, courageous and a
thinker He Is deserving of great
fame for lile exploits
However, in the fsme that goes
to Orange, the valiant deeds of
other stars on the eleven are over
shadowed.
Even - man on the Illinois line
must do his part If Orange Is to
mn wild.
Incidentally every man forming
Interference for Orange must take
his man cut. If "Red" Is tn step out.

. “RED” GRANGE
Outguesses Tacklers, Coach
Stagg Believes
CHICAGO.—WhiIe the football
|n th « grandstands think that
Red Orange is merely outrunning
Ills opponents for the long string
of touchdowns which have made
the Illonois player famous, Coach
Stag®:, of the University of
Chicago, believes that George suc
ceeds by outguessing his would be
tacklers.
Stagg, who has coached football
teams for 30 years, said Monday
that Grange's "Judgment of the sit
uation’’ impressed him in an early
season game last year.
"Grange Is not tearing along at
breakneck speed all the time. Quite
the contrary. He changes his pace
to suit the conditions. When he
has to outrun somebody, he Is able
to do so. He always has some
thing left for that big effort and
Invariably he knows when It Is time
to make that big effort.
"That Judgment, that knowledge
of Just what to do, and Just when
to do It, In my opinion, is Grange’s
greatest asset.”
This Week’s Games
WITH C. W. GORDON
Everything was Jam-up last
Saturday—that Is the best team
won In most Instances. Georgia, in
spite of the geographical disadvan
tage, proved herself a great team
in downing the Commodores, but
the Impressive thing we like about
the "Bulldog" win is the absence
of chestiness about It. A fine
quality this, to win gracefully as
well as lose gracefully. Alabama
proved the Grant Field superstition
a myth in defeating Tech. How
ever, let It be said even though the
bent team won the losers were
fighting sportsmen. Next week we
will see some nice games, the kind
that mean much In Conference
standing:
Georgia will beat Tennessee, 17-
0, at Athens. Georgetown will
trim Furman, 26-0, at Greenville.
