QANTA MARIA, Cel.. March 23. Port
land's hitting strength In this year's
Pacific Coast Jeague pennant race
somewhat problematical and will remain
no until the Beavers secure the' players
from the Uetroit Tigers and the Chicago
Cubs.
Should Sargent be delivered o Port
land by Detroit and another good hard
hitting- outfielder be secured the Beavers
are going to have a strong offensive at
tack. Dick Cox and Jim Poole are hit
ters of the slugging type who should bat
in the charmed circle without any great
difficulty. ,
In the five-game series with the Col
ored Giants, Cox banned out five hits Jn
16 times up, while Poole collected . one
'more hit in as many trips to the plate.
; Four of Poole's hits were for extra bases
and one thing about Poole's hitting that
pleases - Boss . McCredie is the big' fel
low's ability to hit in all directions.
The hitting strength of the catching
staff Is going to be very strong. Fisher
Is a goQd hitter,' and always will be.
Baker Is just beginning to get his eye
on the ball, while Rip King, whom Mac
' now believes will develop Into a great
catcher.' has started, to slash the ball.
Krug, ex-Salt Lake Inflelder, ought to
hit between .290 and .300 -and the same
is true of Sargent. r ;
Bar Rent hit .293 last season with .the
Buffalo club. Patton, should MacCredie
decide to start him, may not hit well at
the start of the season but la bound to
Improve. "

Bernstein further maintains that
- Duffy has not been defeated in more
than 150 starts, despite the fact that
three decisions went against the Oakland
battler. The three boxers who were
given the verdicts were' taken on in re
turn engagements and Duffy beat them
so decisively that his followers feel the
first setbacks should not have been
awarded. '
Both boys will weigh In at 138 pounds

Rocky Kansas
Wins Right to
MeetlLeonard
NEW YORK. March 23.' L N. S.
Rocky Kansas is the iron man of
the lightweight division.
1 More,! b i 1 a worthy opponent for
Benny: Leonard, champion of the 135
pounders and richly deserves a chance
at the title.-. t 1 - , ' ,
This is the verdict of Gotham boxing
fans following 'Kansas' Monday night
victory .-over Willie Jackson in a color
ful 12 round bout at Madison Square
Garden.' witnessed by a crowd of 15,000
who gathered to see these two rivals for
Leonard's crown in action. -
Through his victory the Buffalo scrap
perwhat a scrapper he is ! has earned
the right to a match with the lightweight
champion under the direction of Tex
Rickard, who plana to stage another
13a pound title bout in the open atr
during the coming summer. And ' he
will be a handful, even for the crafty,
hard hitting Leonard.
- Kansas Is one i of ths most rugged
lightweights who has put up. bis hands
in any ring" in .many, many years. He
la a fighter from the soles of his feet
to the crown of his bead and he can
take it. .- ' - . r
Several times during Monday's bout,
Jackson landed rights that turned Rocky
partly around, but he always came back
for more with a grin on bis face and
flew Into Jackson like a young bulldog. '
- The Buffalo boy is not a master of
science. He is not over fast on his feet
and is not what might be called spec
tacular. But he can hit with both bauds
and he reminds one of the good old-time
two-fisted lightweights of the Kelson
and Wolgast type.' , - t '
His chances against Leonard when
they meet will i undoubtedly place him
on the short end of the betting, but the
wise ones will .have 1 at least one I
"ticket" on him because he is the kind
of a lad who can win the - lightweight
title in one - punch if he lamia on the
"button."; i . "

Horagby's Ambition Is .400
Is Using Batting; Cage Now
By Jack Velock
NEW TORK. March 23. (I.' N. S.)
Sor Hornabr. 1250.000 heautv of
the" St Louis Cardinals and champion
batsman of the National league, is out to
defend his laurels. What's more, he
hopes to better his 1920 record by in
vading the select class oi ".400 bitters"
this year. " '
Hornsby modestly tells of his ambition
in a wire from Dixieland, received today
by the International JSews Service.
I hope, to retain the National league
batting Championship," says Hornsby,
'and I am eager to build up a .400 aver
age this year.---- " - - ? ;.
"If I can only get away to a good
start I know I can hit from mid-season
on. The records show that I have al
ways come strong at the fmish.

opened I was in my stride. In previous

of the Browns, annexed lhe .'unerican
league clouting crown for the Mound
City with the enviable average of .407
in 154 pastimes. , , ' :
"I am basing my hopes of improving
my batting average on my. experience
last year," Hornsby continued, "and if
that means ahxJjiing I should be able to
show better fom at the bat, thanks to
an innovation introduced by Manager
Branch Rickey which has enabled all
of our players to get three times as
much hitting as the ordinary club.
USED CAGES
"Manager Rickey erected two batting
cages in our. training camp this year.
The cages are alongside each , other,
while the two pitchers who are working
are only about 15 feet apart.'. They do
not interfere with each other and can
pitch to two different batters simultane
ously. The same goes for the two bat
ters who are swinging at pitched balls in
unison. In addition there is. the regular
home plate on the home, field where the
third squad of hitters can be going
through their practice without interfer
ing with the batters and pitchers work
ing in the cages. - One set of 'shaggers
lnhe outfield can field balls for the lot.
It . is because of this increased oppor
tunity for batting that I believe I will
again succeed in leading the league.
. "Plenty of batting practice is the best
thing and. of course, batting against all
kinds of pitching. I don't believe a bat
ter can get too much practice swinging
on the ball. I know I never get my filL"
. Hornsby has been playing third base
for - Rickey in the absence of Milton
Stock, who has been holding out. He
may open the season at the hot corner
and from all reports his work there has
been just as effective as his playing at
short or second.
