CARP EASY FOR SAINTJIAULER Gibbons Has Frenchman in -Distress^ By Times Special MICHIGAN CITY. Ind.. June 2. This city has had its big boxing day and the merchants are satisfied they cashed in well on the visitors. Tommy Gibbons of St. Taul was too smart for Georges Carpentier in their ten-round bout here Saturday and the idol of France was given a decisive trimming. No knockdowns occurred Gibbons hit Georg- s with lefts and rights and had the Fi-enehie in distress with body punches. The crowd was large, the gate receipt- the same and everybody was satisfied. Carpentier received a sprained ankle late in the scrap and the injury handicapped him. He landed a hard rigid on Gibbons’ jaw early in the bout, but after that. Gibbons swept the right aside arid cut loose with -riff blows to Georges’ midsection. Amateur Tips SAYS LARRY GARDNER. Veteran With Cleveland Indians. HE third base Job is more | clearly defined than any L..i.—J other position on the infield oc far as limitation of territory* is concerned. There is no comparison between ♦ lie territory a third baseman must cover ann that of the shortstop and second baeeman. Balls are ordinarily hit so sharply at the third baseman he can not he expected to go very far to his light or left. The third baseman must shift more within the narrow confines of his territory than the other infield ers. Tills point should never be for gotten by the player aspiring to star at third. Plav your batters differently. On one batsman you may play Jeep knowing he is a hard hitter who never bunts. On the very next batter it may be necessary to be in on the grass, as the hatter is noted for doing the unexpected. No athlete should select third base as his position unless he has a good throwing arm. A weak arm is fatal In a third sacker. This is due to the fact the throw at third is usually long and hurried. Learn to throw underhand. This is a most valuable asset.

Billy Evans Says

E* - ""l VERY major league season supplies some outstanding ——feature —the big surprise. The Philadelphia Athletics provided the greatest thrill of 1923. For the first two months of the season it provided competition for the champion Yankees, then wilted. The Boston Red Sox of 1924 have liken the place of the Athletics of 1923. Just at present Lee Fohl’s team is the sensation o? the majors. • • • ILL the Red Sox shortly curl \/y up and seek a restful place ■i. J in the second division as did the Athletics last year? The Sox finished last in 1923. I do not look for the Red Sox to f.iil so dinia.'ly as did the Athletics. The Boston club has a hatting punch that the Mackmen lacked. That is the big reason for my confidence in Fold's club. Another is the fact that they came hack after an early season slump that would have discouraged the ordt nary club. At the close of the first two weeks , f me pn sin. season the Boston club was in seventh place, where most critics believed it belonged. In the next month of play it worked itself into a tie for first place. Some stepping. * • "I C) ONE expects the Red ,Sox to win a pennant, and they probably won’t. Trior to the opening of the season Manager Lee Fohl refused to make any prediction for his club other than it wouldn't finish last. He is leaking good that prediction, with some to spare. A true test of a club’s worth is its ability to come hack after a protracted slump. Spring reverses are usually the hardest to recover from. Ti 5 HE Boston club, after winning three out of the first four i, games, lost six straight, four to the Yankees, world champs. Then dime a 2 10-2 tie. before the losing streak was broken with a 15-to-6 win over Washington. Victory in that slugfest started the Sox on the right road, put them on a winning streak that has already lasted over a month. After winning only three out of the first ten games, the Sox showed their mettle by capturing fifteen out of the next nineteen, sending them from seventh to a tie for fix*st place. The last time a Boston club was in first place was in 191S. when the Red Sox won the American League pennant. • • * The Red Sox have set no goal—they simply play for every game. That is Lee Fohl’s system. He continues to insist his club won't finish last. The Boston fans believe him.
