HELD RING TITLE XKW TOKK, Mreh fl. Harry Will, negro native of New Orleans, is one ol the boxing game's greatest characters, but bas never held a championship A year ago, fame and fortune op pea rod to be within the grasp of the giant stevedore for be conquered Lu'ih Angel Firpo, famous product of the Argentine, the man who bad knocked the champion, Jack Dempsey, out of the ring. fill's strategy completely baffled the "wild bull," the negro waving a "red flag" In the form of a right hand body blow, taunting and taunt ing. When Will and Firpo entered the ring that night a battle with the champion was reported to be ' the prise. Today the negro faces anoth er preliminary test before he con hopeto meet Dempsey. Ilis challenge Is in the hands of the New York athletic comnNssion, which proposed to take some action Friday. Other papers, signed by Tommy Gibbons of Kt. Paul, are before the commission and the remilt may be a stipulation by the New York boxing body that Wills and Gibbons meet for the right to fight the champion. Wills first came to light in 1911, and has defeated such fighters as Battling Taylor. Sam McVey, Sam Langford, Jeff Clork. Bill Tate, Bat tling McCrenry, Gunboat Smith. Kid Norfolk, Tud Jackson, Hewer Smith, Bartley Madden and Firpo. Only one knockout bas come to Harry, that at tbe hands of the mighty Ham La tig ford of. Boston, after 10 rounds in 1016. Standing six feet, three inches, of marvelous physique, the 32-year-old WHU still looks forward to capturing first honors but fears his brittle bands. T Billy Evans Says By BILLY. KVANS yALTEU JOHNSON is to be back with Washington. The signing of the 'contract by tbe fumoua pitcher will be a mere formality. Baseball funs will welcome the re turn of the old master. Johnson is a remarkable character. The game can ill afford to lose men of bis type. However, the failure of Johnson tu buy minor league team is certain to reset financially. It was his deBire to secure a franchise in the Pacific Const league. Hud Johnson been able to put over the deal, It is conservative to esti mate that bis profits would have been in tbe neighborhood of $50,000. That is considered more than be will re-' ceive from the Washington club for pitching. i Johnson Is one of baseball's great-! est cards. At the present time he hold a commanding position as a national figure. It is very possible ht it may be changed quite a bit the coming aummer. When Jahnsun, aftur twice failing In the world series, cume through in that never-to-be-forgotten 11! -inning sffuir that decided tiie championship, he reached the very peak of his greatnesB. Defeated in his first two starts, apparently through as far as the ser ies was concerned, lJentiny" o shap ed his affairs that to him went tho role of hero. As owner and manager of a big miuor league team this ear, Johnson would hnve packed them in at the gate. Every fan in his circuit would have been wild to see him in octiou. His part in the final game of the 10J4 series would be played over and over again by the vcribes. The very beat of advertising for a magnate and pitcher. Johnson la no longer a youngster. His fast ball lacks some of the old "sip." Winning ball gumes la no lon ger nn easy task for even the great Walter. .If Johnson abould hare a poor sea son, batted out of tbe box often, much of tho glamour and glory of that Mothers.

I really do not look for it Johnson, I believe, still has enough stuff to bresk better than even, it Is possible be will have a big year. I cope so. However, if he Is unfortunate enough to prove soft picking for the other clubs, he will be deprived of bis drawing powers to a certain ex tent. Kandom ia quick to forget. His world series glory of 1024 will soon fade out in the failure of 1025. Johnson is wise. He also has a pardonable pride In his pitching. I feel that the moment Walter sees be no longer can go tbe route, win con sistently, he will retire. Hoodoo of the 13th Hole Chlok Evans" Ace Trumped By JOB WILLIAMS pHICK EVANS probably was never A keener for victory than tbe day he faced Jess Bweetser in the semi finals of the national amateur cham pionship at Brookline in 1022. Evans was not a favorite with the Boston gallery. A year before he had lost to Jesse Guilford, tbe New Koglander, at St. Louis, and an inter view, accredited to him, bad appeared in print placing some blame for his defeat on gamblers who had heckled bim during the match. Tbe Boston gallery had interpreted this as an alibi on tbe part of Evans and with their two favorites, Guil ford and Ouimet, already out of the tournament, tbey rooted for Sweet ser. The Biwanby blond bad been the leader throughout the day. But Chick seemed to have a chance up to tbe ninth. Here Sweetser's second was within five feet and be got down for a birdie three and went back to bis accustomed lead of three up, car ried over from tbe morning round. The tenth was halved. Chick won the eleventh, but overshot the short twelfth entirely, and was again three down, But still in the fight, as they teed off on the thirteenth, 3 SO yards long. Both had fine drives, with Chick slightly back. His second was mag nificent and stopped six feet from the pin. It looked closer than that from the playing point, almost against tbe flag. But Swectser- never batted an eye. Swinging his heavy-ribbed, deep-faced mn.shie with his peculiar stiff-arm swipe, be punched out a high steep shot that covered the pin all the way and looked as If it was going to bole out. The ball stopped in line with the cup and a foot nearer than Chick's wonderful shot. Chick had to putt first. Small wonder ho missed. Swetner sank his for a three. It didn't decide the championship on that green but it showed what could be accomplished by a nervy player under fire, likewise the disap pointment that sometimes follows a master shot by a contending opponent. Indians and Nats Alike on Attack A rather odd feature of tbe 1024 American league season was the simi larity of tbe Cleveland and, Washing ton clubs on the , offense. Each chalked up 755 counters for the cam paign. Each had close to the same number of men left on base and close to the same number of men at bat Hut two points separated them in the batting averages. Cleveland played in the 153 games to 150 for Washington.

C4) Base ball has known many mighty men and high in tbe last of heroes stands the clan of Collins. There waa a great third baseman, Jimmy Collins, of Bos ton, and one of tbe name still plays with tbe American league team in the Bay state capital, John (Spuno) of 1'ittsfield, Muss. There was still another the left-banded pitcher, Kay, who also found a haven with the Bed Sox after leaving the University of Vermont. Kip Collins pitched for the Yankees at one time. They were numerous. Today, however, the name Collins can mean only tbe marvelous Edward Trowbridge, of Lanadowne, I'a., and the Chicago White Sox, who once de serted the clan and called himself Sul livan as a member of Connie Mack's Athletics. That happened In tbe days when Eddie was a student at Colum bia university. The year 1925 finds Collins estab lished as one of tbe game's greatest second basemen, and manager of the club that be has served for 11 years. Ilis lot is that of Cobb, Speaker, Sis ler and Harris, Btor to manuger and it is probable that the experienc ed Charley Coiniskey, pres.dent of the White Sox drew upon the exper ience of Clark Griffith of the Wash ington Senators in sending his key stone man after a pennant. Collins found his way to Philadel phia's ball parks in lUUii and pluyed shortstop and third base in eight games. In 1907 he played shortstop during ten contests and erased the name "Sullivan" as second baseman third baseman and shortstop in 1908 be played in 102 battles and batted .822. liere tbe marvelous quartet that was to become one of the most re nowned infield combinations in base' ball weot into action with Stuffy Ic Innis at first, Collins at second, Jack Barry at short and Frank Baker at third. It became known as tbe "$100, 000 infield," yet a few years later Col lins alone was sold for half that .price. Collins started to hit and In only two seasons, 1917 and 1918 has he fallen below the .300 mark. He batted for .300 in 1920, the highest aver age be has ever attained. freight be made to apply from Jan uary 3 instead of February 9 as or dered by the commission. He also suggests that the reduction should apply to seed rye and barley as well as to wheat, since the damage by cold weather affected those crops also. It will be necessary for the railroad companies carrying the seed grain to make refunds to the farmers as ordered by the commission. Medford man Killed As Scaffold Falls MEDFOHD, Ore., March 5.
