r "T was classed as a lightweight" de
clared Gorman, "when I stepped out

his bout against "Young" O'Dowd. the

exceptional showing. He fought like a

' Much' interest is being centered on

Be Reorganized;
More Speed Needed
By John B. Foster
(Copyright, 1022) .
NKW YORK, tct. 24. The Boston
" Xational league club is in for a
pretty thorough reorganization if the
management can secure the players.
The operation of the draft brought
fortn a little material of some promise,
but not much experience. The release
of Nicholson, a hard-hitting but slow
motioned, outfielder, can only mean
that speed is to be injected into the
team. The Braves were notoriously
slow last year. j
The Boston Infield can stand tighten
ing up as well as the outfield, and so
can the pitching staff. - The present
occupants of the first base, third base
and shortstop positions are hardly up
to championship class. Holke has been
a member of a championship team, but
has not gone forward any since. Kopf,
too, has. played on a pennant team,
but like Holke he has failed to retain
his speed. .Boeckel has experience, but
he won't win pennants unless there is
an infield which will keep him keyed
,up to top pitch.
Ford is fast as a streak at times.
He Is a great ground coverer and
might go along with a first division
team and keep the pace If he were
surrounded bjr players who were pep
pery. The Boston outfield has; been
long ah the diamond and Is dropping
back.
Folks down In Florida say the team
trained, too hard In the St Petersburg
climate.: Training too hard, in the
spring' is scarcely a common fault
among the old-timers. If anything, of
the kind did happen, Mitchell should
profit by the experience and either go
a little slower wltlr his tribe in 1923
or find a training camp with a climate
not so conducive to overwork.

Nearly everyone who goes to the ball

From ' the comments of professional
football men coaches and writing ex
perts it appears that the mcdern
'opeh" game, which rever.ls the man
agement of the. play as the ball goes
into action behind the line has done
much to enhance the drawing powers
of football. . Probably the business ef
ficiency of the baseball magnates and
their sury refusal to take any inter
est in various scandals until 'they were
forced to do so, also ' has contributed
to football's popularity. Anyway, the
game how vastly oudraws baseball in
the .crowded sections of the country, as
well as in the minor league territory.

The Pursuit of aiie Thieng
Conference Held
Palo Alto Grounds
As the Big Club
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 21. (U. P-)
Stanford's action in withdrawing
from the Pacific coast athletic confer
ence has given rise to wide speculation
as to the future of the conference. ;
OrlginaJly the conference wasj formed
for the purpose of bringing about iinW
form playing rulers, settling disputes
and bringing concerted effort to bear
against professionalism.
The great difficulty of the conference
has always been the distances between
the universities which it Includes. Thus
the conference has .really split; up Into
a series of intersectional groups. I In
many of the, big games rooters.-ffoin
one college have been largely ,uhable to
finance trips to. other- colleges where
the games were to be played, iea-vlng
only, an alumni group on one . side
against a. .; concerted grandstand j of
rooters on the other. .1'
' Bence- the conference has always
been , more "than willing to allow -eoIt-leges
to make their own schedules, sand
to plan games at will with non-conference
colleges. " ; 'r,"f.
Many of the larger universities have
begun to feel, of late that the eorefer
ence had become too large and un
wieldy, from a point of view: of sec
tionalism. Hence, it is pointed out by
athletic authorities, Stanford's action
may eventually mean the 'formation of
a California-Nevada-Arizona confer
ence, and a ! Northwest conference,
both, however on the most friemdly
basis, and both scheduling games at
will with the teams of the other Con
ference. Stanford's action does net disturb' the
California-Stanford "big game," i or
the California-Washington, Stanford
Washington games. Stanford, Califor
nia and; Washington have a separate
10-year playing agreement which op
erates outside the conference. ?- '
General criticism is heard through
out California., of the conference's ac
tion in reprimanding Stanf ord , f or
scheduling the game with Pitt. The
truth of the matter is that the con
ference, in Its negotiations with ' the
Pasadena Tournament .of Roses com
mittee), was holding the Stanford tar
diurrr over the head of the committee,
although' the conference had no first
right on the sta'dlpm beyond what
Stanford courtesy allowed. Inasmuch
as no game was planned, Stanford took
on the Pitt game, which,, it claims, it
was perfectly-' within Its rights -'tn 'do
ing. Sport writers . generally condemn
the reprimand as high-handed, or at
best premature. '

"Gibbons is now in the) best form of
