f ßilly Evans Says

Bobby Jones Rated Great Third Sacker Who is the best third baseman in the American League? A year ago, In considering that question, Bobby Jones of Detroit wouldn't have been in the running. Today, Bobby Jones stands out as one of the most likely candidates for the honor. Jones bas arrived with a vengence. When Jones came to Detroit Hughey Jennings wag manager. Jennings, while he knew Jones had great ability, was of the opinion that he larked a certain something, and never gave him a real chance. Jones would break into the lineup for a week or so and if he failed to do everything in tip-top fashion he would be yanked out and given a seat on the bench for a couple of weeks. It was a case of in again and out again with Jones. Ty Cobb had faith in Jones. When ne took over the Detroit club he told Bobby he had no rival for the position, that he was the regular third baseman. That seemed to be the only thing Jones needed, assurance that he was a member of the Tigers in good stanling. It supplied him with the needed confidence.. From that day Jones has been a real star. His play around third was brilliant all last season. He batted .303. In the opening series with Cleveland this year he fairly sparkled on defense. Jones bas developed Into a remarkable third baseman. No third baseman in either major league eau cover more ground. He is a quick starter, fast on his feet, and can go to his right or left with equal ease. He is sure death on halls hit down the third base line, one of the most difficult plays a third sacker is called upon to make. Jones is also blessed with a strong, accurate throwing arm. This enables him to knock down hard hits and get his man on drives that the ordinary third sacker would be content to hold to a single. Jones certainly has arrived. He deserves to be classed with th e great third baseman of the majors. •• • ♦ • Mathewson Invents Xew Indoor Game Serious illness that has extended over the past two years has in no way dulled the interest of Christy Mathewson in baseball, t'p at Saranac Luke, N. Y„ where Matty is rapidly growing well, according to his personal physician, I)r Packard, the former idol of the baseball tans has been employing a little baseball strategy of his own. In bis spare moments Matty has framed a game which has beer, called "Btg Six." That was the name sport writers had given Matty at the height of his pitching career, since any time he worked he was hitting on all six, as they say. In the old days Joe Tinker of the Chicago Cubs was the hardest man in thi Natio tal League for Matty to fool. It was a battle of wits when Tinker fact and Mathewson. Sometimes Matty got the upper hand, at other times Tinker and his timely hit would break up the ball game. Matty admits that he spent more time trying to fool Tinker than any hitter In the history of the game. Not only would he work his hardest on the ball field against Tinker but he would give Joe much sriidy off the field. Matty savs Tit ker inspired him to evolve the baseball game "Big Six.” He says it is' the direct outcome of mary of his battles trying to outguess Joe.

Reynolds defeated Olson last night In two straight falls at the Broadway Theater. Twice the champion worked Olson into the punishing leg split and pinned his shoulders to the mat.

IJiiGu School ®i?_gk_SPORTS Manual will open its baseball season with a game with Southport tomorrow at Garfield Park. The Manual baseball aspirants have been going good, considering the infrequent practices due ito the weather. Wenning and Esterline are slated to do the chucking, with Lindsey on the receiving end. The Manuaiites will play Broad Ripple Friday. The Te-h baseball team is also having trouble with the weather man. Most of the practices scheduled were forced to be cancelled Coach Kingsolver has some promising hurling material In Ewing and Sylvester; both are veterans from last year's squad. An entire new Infield is being developed and shows promise of doing something in high school circles Bittner, a veteran foothill and baseball man, probably will do the catching, there being few candidates for this department of the game. Some recent changes in the basket ball rules made by the rules committee last Saturday promise to have a decided effect on the style of the game ns it is now played I'erhnps the best alteration in the rules was the one awarding two free throws to the team fouled personally within a seventeen-foot zone at each end of the court. The zone is to be between the foul line extended to the sides of the floor and the end line. This rule will tend to eliminate under the basket fouling. Personal fouls commit- j ted anywhere else on the floor outside ! of the end zone* is punishable by only | one free throw. Where the rules committee seems to have slipped up is In the new ruling regarding the technical foul. When a technical foul Is committed the ball is ; awarded to an opponent of the player making the foul on the spot where the foul was made, and he is allowed to | make an unguarded pass (dribbling or shooting for the basket is prohibited > Instead of eliminating or reducing the number of technical fouls committed It 1 may have exactly the opposite effi>ct, for | a player realizing that a pass to any one of four team mates being guarded j by five opposing players will not mean I much, may double dribble and travel j with the ball in the hope of getting | away with It. As to speeding up the, I game, this rule will avail nothing, for j the referee must see that the ball Is [ put In play on the exact spot where the foul occurred, which means a loss of time. When You Score a Ball Game If a batter Is declared out on a bunt third strike, or If a player hats out of order, and the mistake is discovered and the proper batsman called out by the umpire, the catcher is given the credit for the putout. even though he does not actively figure in the play.

GOTHAM FEARS RING GAMBLERS Another ‘Queer* Decision New York Causes Commission to Start Probe. BY HENRY FARRELL. NEW YORK, April 18.—" It's a hard proposition to keep boxing on the level,” William Muldoon says. Muldoon ought to know, because he has been on the inside of boxing and wrestling for a decade, and just now he is trying to run the game in New York ns chairman of the State boxing commission. Funny decisions have been so frequent in the past year that many of the champions refuse to box in New York and take the risk of being relieved of their title. Insinuations that something went ox last Saturday night when Danny Lee. co* oretl bantam, was given the decisb® over Young Montreal, caused the commit sion to hold up the purse money at* summon the officials in charge of thff bout and the promoters to a hearing tomorrow’. So much money was offered that Lee was golug to win and the layers were of such character that the commission decided to take a look into it. Muldoon says that "shoestring gamblers" operating at the smaller clubs are endangering the sport. He denies any "extensive operations by big gamblers." "The ‘shoe string element is trying to get a foothold in New York and we’re going to stop them if we have to revoke licenses of clubs that permit them to make wagers openly around the ringside.” he said.
