‘Hoosier Playboy’ Wouldn’t 'Holler Quits’ Until Ref Stopped Scrap Chuck Insisted on Giving Fans a Show for Their Dough Against Godfrey.

BY HENRY L. FARRELL And Timr* 'porta Writer CLEVELAND. July 2—Chuck Wiggins, the old Hoosier joy boy from Indianapolis, showed his great bravery a few days ago by fighting George Godfrey, the dark menace of the heavyweight division, and he was saved from annihilation by the refere<\ who stopped the fight in the seventh round. Fat Eddie Mead, who steered Joe Lynch to the bantamweight cham-

pionship years ago and who blew all his dough away, was in Wiggins' corner. When Chuck came bark after the first round he -aid to Fat Eddie: “Say, that spade sure ran hit!” “Where have you been all these years if you didn’t know that?” Mead responded. For two or three rounds the Chuck

With the Sandlotters

IT'S funny how kid ball clubs always look with scorn on the outs r!rt I can remember, as a kid on Ur" sandlots. hov we used to pick out the wont players, and the smallest kid;, and send them into the outfield to snag flies. Kids are still doing just that. I watched a couple of kid teams the other riav and every one clamored for a chance to pitch and play first base, and no ore wanted to play ►lie outfield. Asa maUer of fact, playing the outfield is just as much an art as playing anywhere else on the diamond. The outfield takes speed and a good throwing arm. It fakes keen pves and a fine sense of direction and timing. And of course, an outfielder has to be able to hit. From the standpoint of professional baseball there’s another point about outfielders. It's a pretty fair job, because there is less strain on the lees and arm. Outfielders last longer than any other type of player—and that's a fine thing, too. What I'm trying to say to the kids is just this. Don't feel bad about playing the outfield. Go out there and do the best, you can. Try hard. Learn something about your position and watch your chances. The kid who plays the outfield.

of Godfrey and he was getting in a bad way. He wasn't in good shape when he started. But that is no news about Chuck. Before the fourth round Mead, who was trying desperately to get some life back into Chuck, gave him this sound piece of advice: “Listen, you big slob, you're thinking about the dough you’re getting and givin’ them fans out there a show. “Quit givin' them a show and stay away from that big smoke. Don't let him hit you. We ain't in here | to be murdered for any holiday.” But the Chuck went out and took it until the referee wouldn't let him take it any more. BEFORE LABOR BODY ; 1 „ t,r! - !
