VP To Minute

He Chooses

SAM CRAWFORD.

Sam Crawford could have stayed in the majors if he desired. At least two clubs in the American and one in the National were willing to take him on after he l?ad beeji given his unconditional release.

But Sam preferred to spend the coming summer on tlie coast near his home. So he signed with the Los AugHes team of the Pacific Coast league, was placed in riirht field and opened the season as the team's cleanup hitter. It is not surprising to hear that the old fellow is rapping the horsehide vigorously, but those who believed his arm had lost its power will be interested in knowing that he has thrown out several runners on the bases already, including one at the home plate.

And by the way, the secret for Sam's decision to rem?in near his home this vear is out.—the stork recently visited his domicile and now he's A proud father.

Starts For Our Fair City Following Victory Over Crack Eastern Boy —Christie In Indianapolis.

By Ralph H.

White.

Tommy Gibbons, accompanied by his manager, Eddie Kane, are Terre Haute bound from Akron, O., where, Saturday night, the crack middleweight, •who is to box Gus Christie at the Grand, Friday night, for the benefit of Mattery F„ Second Indiana field artillery, decisively trimmed Silent Martin, in a fifteen round contest. Gibbons had little trouble in taking the measure of the rugged eastern boy and shouid be in the proverbial pink when he swings into action at the Grand Friday night. "Leave today for Terre Haute. Tom In great shape." That's the wire message flashed to the writer today by Manager Kane, and, barring traffic delays, and one can't overlook such a possibility these days, the Gibbons party should steam into Terre Haute Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.

Since going east, Brother Tommy has whipped several of the top notchers of that section and is "going good." His victim Saturday night, Silent Martin, is held to be a tough, willing chap, capable of making any of the 158 pounders step. Yet Tom slapped him about without difficulty and at no time was he forced to extend himself to the limit. Therefore, Gibbons should be as fresh as a daisy for his benefit bout here Friday night.

Should Be Some (io.

On paper, the Gibbons-Christie bout equals the best available, while in action should far surpass the last bout held in T-prre Haute which brought together Mike Gibbons. Tommy's brother, and Jack Dillon, our own Bearcat. The Gibbons-Dillon affair was too onesided, Mike walloping Jack all over the rjng. But in Christie. Tommy will meet a boy capable of holding his own in any company. This is best proven by pointing out the recent 15 round contest fought out by the two at Dayton, O., in which Gibbons was fought to a standstill by Christie. The go was a. sensation in every way and Christie was cheered every bit as much as Gibbons as they ducked through the ropes after 15 sizzling rounds. Their return scrap Friday night givei promise of being every bit as interesting. One thlfig Sure, both can be depended on to box from first to last and, after all, that's what the bugs like.

Christie has reached his home training camp at Indianapolis, according to word received this morning, and will work out there until Wednesday when he will pitch his camp in Terre Haute. Gus is a big middleweight and will complete.his training here.

Neither Team Has As Yet Tasted Defeat In Nattional and American Respectively.

New York, 1917 champions of the National league, and Boston, runner-up last year in the American league, went to the fore with a clean record in their respective leagues in the opening week of the lit IS major league baseball season. which was marred by unfavorable weather, -twenty seven games were played and sixteen postposed. The Giants took three straight from Brooklyn and one from Boston and the Red Sox scored three victories" each over Philadelphia and New York.

The National league champions found Marquard easy on opening day. The Superbas fought hard throughout the series, however, batting out Tesreau and Demaree, after their rival borough players had a commanding lead, but were stopped by Anderson and Sallee.

.T PSS

Barnes, in his debut, blanked Brooklyn Wednesday and Anderson shut out Boston with six hits Saturday.

Philadelphia took the opening game from Boston, but was overwhelmed Wednesday. 14 to 2, when Herzog joined the Braves. The deciding game of the series Friday went to ten innings before the Quakers scored the extra run. Moran's men batted Marquard hard in Saturday's game with Brooklyn, the southpriw's second defeat of the week.

Schneider of Cincinnati held Pittsburgh to one hit Tuesday. St. Louis pounded Alexander for nine hits, totalling seventeen bases in the opener with Chicago. Vaughn pitched the Cubs to victory Thursday. Bad weather interfered with both teams during the week.

Tn the American league, Boston beat Philadelphia thre^ times. Ruth disposed of the Athletics with four hits in the opener.

Mays blanked them with one hit. Mays scored his second victory of the week over New York Saturday.

Cleveland played only two1 games and won both, one l'rom Petroit and the other from St. Louis. Washington broke even in its four games.

St. Louis and Chicago divided two games, the Browns hammering Rowland's world series pair, Cicotte and Kaber, on Tuesday. Williams held St. Louis to four scattered hits and no runs Thursday. Rain prevented any other games at Chicago. Petroit lost its only game, with Ty Cobb absent hpf-ause of illness. Philadelphia suffered four straight defeats, three by a one run margin.

The batting of the New Tork Americans for the week was remarkable. The Yankees made fifty-nine hijpi for team average of .2S6. Massey, of the Boston Nationals, in six times at hat Wednesday, made four .singles and a double K Magee, of Cincinnati, made three singles and two doubles the same day In five times up. Gedeon, of the St. Louis Americans, made a triple, double, and two singles Tuesday. The White Sox stole seven bases Thursday against St. Louis.

A PICTURE YOU WILL ENJOY

10 DEFEAT WiLLARD

Jess Is Slow, Careful Fighter and At Decided Disadvantage Over Short Route.

Jess Willard has given out a statement about that ten-round, may-be-de-cision idea. "The "short route jvith a referee's decision nv*y satisfy the public," said Jess. -"1 would prefer twenty, although I am confident 1 can retain my title in any circumstances."

From this It appears that Jess is perfectly reckless. He doesn't care whether there's a decision or not. If a decision is given it will be the first time in the history of the ring that a champion let his title go with a decision in a ten-round bout. If a decision is given. and the referee is a well-known and responsible official, even the limiting of the fight to ten rounds will not Interfere greatly with its drawing power. For if the championship goes with the referee's derision at the end of ten, that ten is likely to be the swiftest ten seen between heavyweights in some t.imv WUlard would do quiie a little fighting in ten rounds to save that title. And as for Fulton, he has shown that, he can do his share of fighting in mufh less than ten rounds, when there's anvthing in it.

Fulton wanted to make a reputation and force a fight, on Willard by knocking out Moran in a hurry. Three rounds was about enough for his purpose. He stopped Ham Langford in six rounds— as Sam didn't come up for the seventh —when he wanted to recover his standing after the first ll/.zle with Morris. And he finished Morris quickly enough when they met a second time in Cleveland.

Ten rounds, with a decision by a competent and impartial referee, would be (ji-nte an Interesting affair. There's a question whether the short distance would favor Willard or Fulton. Fulton should be in condition to tight over any route, and Willard's life of ease during the past three years may make it hard for him to get Into trim for a long fight. Rut when Willard Is right for the distance, the longer it Is the better for him. He is a slow, careful lighter, willing to wait for openings and tak' his time. He hn« any amount of strength and power to take punish ment. In Havana Jess told me tb^ night before the Johnson fight that hdidn't care if it lasted forty rounds, a* he was in shape to "fight all day," and he knew Johnson wasn't.

If winning depended upon a decision at the end of ten rounds, with both men in condition, Fulton's chances should be rood. He fights at a faster clip than Willard and his speed would offset Willard s superior bulk and strength.
