For some years previous to his retirement from the fight game the exheavy champ had his plans made to put all his savings into a ranch and spend a happy life as a farmer. At ihe time

TED JULIAN FIXTURE, HOLDS BENDERSCRIBE

Local Boy Has Shortstop Berth "Salted Down," According to Dope—Given Boost.

SOUTH BEND, Ind., April 28.—South Bend fans are going to sco a clUb entirely different in playing ability from" the aggregation which last i year brought up the tail end of the Central league race. Foxy pitchers ahd last, young players in the other positions should make the team a winnevr Last year it was mostly a squad of old heads, all the way around, and it fared badly. There will te ju6t enough vets In the makeup to give the team a good balance.

Hill, Robertson and Schettler are the veterans of the pitching department, while the youngsters—Willis,, Bowman, Soharris and Mels—have shown plenty of stuff in the practice work. Scharris reported in perfect condition and has had the jump on the .other men. He is a southpaw and has a good arm. Ho probably will stick.

Shortstop Julian and First Baseman LaRoes appear to he the only fixtures on the inner works. Julian is sure death to the ground balls, covers an immense amount of territory and has plenty of fight and ,?ingcr. He should work good wvith Joe Grodick on second and Callahan o"n third. The latter has been taken on in place of Bues. who was released to the locals by Columbus, but refused to play here. Callahan comes from Indianapolis, where he Old good work the past spring, t-ut was not quite fast enough for Clans AA company.

PRACTICE FOR POLY.

^Teachers, Unable to Play Purdue, Prepare for Rose. The Teachers were to have played Purdue, at T^afayette, yest^rda/ afternoon, but rain prevented the s^iugxle. The locals were stopped at L. ir.edale by wire on their way to Lafayette and spent several hours in that jerkwater btirg in practice for Lodav's scheduled mixup with Rose Poly. Early morning indications were for a second straight postponement, but the rival forces planned to go ahead this atternoon, if possible.

BICKNELL AFTER PENNANT.

BICKNELL, Ind., April iiS.—The Blcknell Braves have one of the strongest lineups this season of any in the S. I. &• S.. I. league,'and will be after the pennant again. They won it a.id .the championship of southern Indiana last year.

he left the game he was prepaid to step- right into the farming business and has been happy in the rural life ever since.

Jeff's hobby and chief interest for some while has been blooded cattle and on his large ranch there is not to be found a cow whose value is less than $800. Many of them are worth quite a bit more. Jeff has done everything for the comfort of his cat,tle and the farm's equipment is as high-class in eveiy way as the cows that enjoy it all. His improved silos, the most ex-

ensive of the sort, were the first to seen on the Pacific coast. The ex-champ seldom sees a sport page any more and his sporting diversion is mostly, hunting, a pastime thai/ he has always favored and that used to keep him fit for his ring engagements. The open air is Jeff's greatest love and he declares that he is well able to enjoy it among his cows on the ranch when he caii get into old clothes and forget all about the fight game he used to know. And yet an old friend of his fighting days will always find him eager to talk over the times.when he was the king of heav-\ ies.

SOX LOOK BETTER ON [COURAGE MAIN ASSET

PAPER TIN ON FIELD

May Cop American Gonfalon, But, At That, They Lack Real Punch.

Once thore we turn to that interesting baseball problem, which has agitated fans all over, the country for several seasons past—the Chicago White Sox., We have seen them in operation and we are more convinced than ever that it represents the greatest contrast between paper- and acual strength which the history of the national sport has over produced.

Columns have been written this season* about 'what the1 Sox should do this year. And ft would seem that the judgment of the general public Is right— that, on paper, the Sox are the class of the American league. Judged from a pre-season standpoint, -it is difficult to understand why Comiskeyls pets and the New York Giants should not fight it out for the world title next October.

But on th'e diamond the Sox do not seem to live yop to their reputation. Offensiv'ely ana defensively they should constitute the eighth wonder of the world. But get them out In action, and they look like anything but these wonderi. Now, we are not saying that i the Sox will not cop the pennant in the American league. As a matter of fact, we expect them to do so—barring accidents, hurricanes, German measles, the war and a' few other things. But, If they do win, they will do so by a much smaller margin- than they should.

Make Strong Shoirlng.

Granted that there are -some ifilghty fast clubs in the American league— Boston, New York, Cleveland, Detroit and St. Louis—with which the Sox will be compelled to battle, yet, on the face of the matter, It would seem that Rowland's men should have a comparatively easy time. They are now up on the top of the percentage column and, it would seem, they should never be crowded out. They have gotten off to a flying start whether they will keep it up is very doubtful, to say the

For, after one has taken up the members of the team individually and dilated upon the respective merts of the various athletes on Comiskey's payroll, he must be compelled to admit that., the Sox, as an aggregation, lack that something called "class" which usually marks a pennant winning c.lub. Take, for example, the wonderful aggregation of ball tossers which Connie Mack had In Philadelphia a few years ago. Their defensive work was a^- tlgnt Mclnnis, Collins, Barry and Baloer composed an infield, the like of which has never been seen on a diamond. Mighty few snfesheg got through that, inner works.

But the ability of the Mackmen did not stop there. They could go out and drive over a' cluster of runs whenever they needed them. Good, solid clouters those -men were, able to manufacture tallies whenever ha!* ait opportunity presented Itself.

Pnnch Is Missing.

Not so with the Sox, at least, thus far this season. With si^ch sluggers as Jackson, Collins, Felsch and Schalk, it would seem that Commy's men should be the greatest gang of rungetters in the business. But they have not developed a punch thus far In the season. A recent game with St. Louis furnishes a good example. The Sox won, 5 to 2, on v/hat? Their hitting".' Hardly. They S6wed up the game in the" second inning whe^ three of the wildest, heaves imaginable enabled them to manufacture four runs out of one clean hit and two very scratchy safeties. There was nothing of the old drive and force of the machines built up by the old masters—Mack and McGraw and Chance.

Of course, the season Is still ijery young and the So' "^nay be going far below their strid/ iBut, as a matter of fact, they do X^ look very different from the ap^¥ance they presented last y~s*'\ Trjy waste a lot of hits by failure to co-ordinate their attack. And until that defect is corrected, the White Sox will never possess on the diamond that strength every onp grants them, on paper.

We repeat—the Sox look like the 191/ American leaguie champs. They "came mighty close last year, and there la no doubt that the addition- of Chick Gandll has added a lot of strength to their battle front. But they are not likely to win out,as1 easily as they might, if only they possessed some of the old driving power of the Athletics, the Giants ana the Cubs of Chance's day.

OF A GREAT FICHTER

Yellow Streak Has,Been Known to Lose for Prospective Champs.

What is a successful boxer's greatest asset? Is it his speed, his punch, his ability to 'assimilate punishment?

Glance over the boxing,records since John L. Sullivan was in his prime and yx»u will come to the conclusion'that the greatest* asset a fighter can have is cburage.

He must have a punch and speed to seme extent, but with these to a superlative degree he will never get anywhere If he hasn't the courage.

A yellow. streak has ruined manv a prospective champion and the wise manager always tries to find out whether' a fighter has a strong heart before he takes a chance with him.

Fred Fulton was the logical man to meet Jess Willard for the heavyweight title until he met Carl Morris. Had he been possessed of the heart of Jack Dillon, say, it is not beyon'd probability that his star in the fistic world would now be Plunging brighter than ever. _TBut^ Fulton didn't have the heartNow he's a has-been.

throttled by their lack of heart. Had Charley White possessed the ",eart of Willie Ritchie, Ad Wolgast or Battling Nelson he would undoubtedly have won the lightweight championship. But when the critical moment came in his bouts with Welsh and Kltchie he was not there.

Wolgast and Nelson had the real fighting hearts. They were neve'r beaten until they could no longer stand on their feet. GJeorge Lavigne was another of this type.

The Reds opened with two and' the Pirates came back in their half with three, Baird poling a long two-bagger, with three on.' But their advantage faded in the second, when the Reds tallied three, Neale driving home a trio of pals with a dandy double. A change of pitchers stopped the Reds, and Toney did the same to the Pirates. Miller, Carlson and Jacobs split the slabbing for the losers. Hits were seven and eight, Pirates.

'swie ^jotting:

By Mi que O'Brien.

Of all the young feminine stars that have sprung into prominence, after the manner of a dandelion blooming, since light musical entertainments became the fad, the most likely to endure Is saucy little Mltzi Hajos, who so thoroughly captivated a fine and wonderfully enthusiastic audionce at the Grand last night. This young woman, now a naturalized and extremely patriotic American, came to this country »rorn Buda Pest, where she was born, twentyone years ago or so yesterday, ,on}y half a dozen years ago, but sho quickly mastered our language and has, indeed, almost lost the accent which was so 'noticeable when she appeared here in "Sari Although Mitzi became a sftar almost before we realized there was such a person in the theatrical world, *he qualified for the fat type and tne big electric sign stuff long before she was exploited In "TWe Spring Maid, one of her early successes.

Present-day theatre-goers will hardly know /iow to classify Mitzl. She is so original iii method, her sense of comedy so. sure, her manner so charming, her singing voice so penetrating, as" it were, as to place her In a class of her own. Mr. Montgomery Phlster. the distinguished dramatic critic of Cincinnati, recently devoted something like two columns to explaining why Mitzl reminded him of AXttP., the most popular aoubrette of her time. In comparing Mltzi with Lotta, Mr. Phister paid Mitzl a very high compliment, as those of you who remember the little woman who was the idol of theatregoers of thirty and forty years ago, will appreciate. "Pom-Pom" Is a comic opera, but it is a comic, comic opera. You know most comic operas of the period are very grave. They are too high-browish for you and I. Something excellent in tli» way of story and lyrics might well be expected from Anne Caldwell, who wrote berth "The Lady gf the Slipper" and "Chin-Chin" for Montgomery and Stone, and the expectation is fully realized in the fantastic yarn so elaborately staged with music that will set vour blt*od a tingling.

No need to repteat the story. Paulette (Mitzi), an actress, has most evtraordinary adventures, impossible, of 'course, when she attempts to impersonate a burglar and is taken to jail, along with seme regular crooks.

The second act takes place in the Black Elephant, a thieves' den. Here some broad burlesque is introduced— Mitzi doing some vaudeville stunts, such as a take-off on a strong man, and the like. There are burlesques on the Apache dance and some graceful turkey trottingf, and the like.
