May Take lack lollnsoll's
the Show ill Juarez Next Month
.nn lluckley telegraphed from New
Orleans yesterday that Gunboat Smith
may take Jack Johnson's place against
Willard at Juarez on March 6. Buck-
ie; has received a good offer to bare
the Gunner ill Juarez on fight day so
that he can be pitted against either
\iillard or some other good heavy-
weight in case Jack Johnson is not per-
mitted to fight in the Mexican town.
Buckley says that even though the
.lolmsonM’lllard bout goes through
Smith will be well paid even though
he is a spectator. '
"All i hope now is that they pinch
.lL-Ilnson. Willard is tlle biggest cinch
lit sight for us," he says.
liilhert Gallant wins! That is to say
lil.‘ bun for excuses on being knocked
out. When Sammy Rohideau flattened
the Bostonian in four rounds the fans
sat up with a start. But listen to Gil:
"i know my downfall shocked Bos-
ton unspeakably. it is a frightful ca-
lamity that has hefnlien me. Boston-

Manager Bill Donovan has made up
Place at his mind that the New York Yankees Ring Followers Are WWII: if-
need a southpaw pitcher next season.
Joe Kelly has received instructions to
hunt for such a man and he must be
a good one. Until recently Wild Bill
thought he had one of the best pitch-
ing starts in the country. but evidence
llasv'come to hand which convinces
him he will need a classy lefthander
before he can send the Yanks up
against the. batting orders in the
American League.
in a word, Donovan has discovered
'through reading the latest edition oi;
the baseball guide that the Yanks
amounted to something less than
nothing against the portslde batting
orders of Detroit and Philadelphia.
Those deadly combinations. Cobb and
Crawford and Collins and Baker. had
torn off the right handers with some.
thing to spare, and the figures showed,
moreover, that tile staff had not been
able to hold back the lesser lights
who hit from the left side. of the
plate.
As a matter of fact, the Yankees are
the only club ill the two big leagues
at the present time without a left-
handed pitcher. and they went through
most of last season in this condition.
Chance started last April with Heinie,
Schulz, who had left-handed inclinn-'
tions, but not much on the ball so far
as Chance could ever find out. Heinie
son. and with him went the last. indl-
cation of a southpaw on the team. '
Helpio's assertion probably did not
,have much to do with the failure of
son. In fact. he only pitched one good
‘game for the team while he was wit
the. But the need of a good left-
t.he Tigers or Athletics. Detroit won
the season's series from the Yankees
