The elimination tourney staged in
New York brought together a for—

hardly in the class of those who

were game, worthy and probably
fought the best they knew how.
anyhow Kaplan emerged a winner
after giving Kramer an unmerciful
beating.

But does Kaplan compare with
such wonders of the past. those fel-
lows who years ago climbed the
roped arena and fought under gas
light for small purses? Kaplan may
hold his title for years against all
comers. but could he beat such men
as George Dixon. "Lil Chocolate."

George could hit with the kick of

almost as clever with the gloves as

kerchief and prevent any one from
making him more from that small

For years Dixon reigned supreme
and this meant something for in
those days there were boxers who
fought for the mere asking and got
little else in exchange. He defeated
nearly every man he met. Sometim-
es he fought an opponent to a. draw.
but he would invariably come back
to meet the same man and beat him.
Lil Chocolate also Went out of his

Roster During Next
Season

~ .

Baseball's crying need of the hour
is a complete stock of hustling. og-
grosslve. young catchers. Never in
the history or the game has there
been so good a chance fora raft of
capable young maskmen to win their
spurs in the modern. Managers at
the 1925 training camps will give
the most attention to their young
catching recruits. Practically .every
club in the two leagues in looking
for a catcher. ‘

The unconditional release or Wai-

price. are a sign of the decadence of
the great catchers oi the last do- I
cade. Two short years ago Sci-talk
and O'Neill were the crack catchers
of the game. Last season Schalk
hit under .200. and for the first time
since 1918 the nimble Ray caught
less than 100 games.

Both oi! the two New York clubs
are badly in need of young catching
blood. Snyder and Gowdy. of the
Gants. and Schang.’ of the Yankees.
are all getting along in their thir-
ties and showing the wear and tear
of years or service in blocking on
ambitious runners at the plate.

Ivy Wingo. of the Reds. is nearing
the end of the big league trail. while
persons who watched Hank 89v.
eraid all of the 1924 season say that
the crack catcher of "tho Browns
also is slowing up considerably.
Perkins. of the Athletics. 'llso bl.-
slipped. though. he still is a young
man and would do better with an-
other club.

Comparatively few good catching
youngsters have come up in the last
five years. The bestvot the new-
comers are "Gabby" Hartnett. oi
the Cubs: Zack Taylor. of the
Dodgers; Johnny Coach. of Pitts-
burgh. and “’ilson and Beeline. of
the Phillies. Bongougb. or the
Yen is a splendid catcher. but his
hitti g remains a big question mark.

Bossier. Hal-graves and DeBerry
came back to the majors for second
trials and availed themselves of their
new opportunities. but none of these
men are youngsters. Bassler was
third string catcher on the Indians
before the war. and DeBerry was
up with Cleveland about the same
time. Both now are top-hoteliers.
especially Bossier, who was the belt‘
catcher in the American League last
season.

llargraves. Cincinnati's star catch-
er. is as old as Frank Snyder. or the
Giants. He fooled around with the
) years. but
never could hit. He later learned to
hit in the American Association. and
now is one of the hardest hitting
catchers in the game. But a tow
more seasons will also soo- the pass-
ing of Bubbles. '

A. new addition to John Heydler's
start or umpires next season will be
John Reardon. a picturesque Call-
tornian. who has been one of the
best umpires in tho Pacific Coast
League. Brother Reardon goes un-
der the rather amusing nickname ot
“Beans." That "Beans" should
make quite a. hit with the fans and
sporting writers. What a treat for
the boys who write” sporting .verss
or limericks! ‘

W‘hile “Beans" Reardon hasn't all
at the eccentricities of "Lord" By-
ron. last season a tellow Coast Lea-
gue umpire. hainiects a lot of color
into his work. ‘

A baseball president once told us
that the ideal umpire is a man so
perfect in his work that no one in
the park notices his presence. His
decisions are so correct that he
works like a machine. ' This man
argued that the tans came out to
see ball players. and not umpires.

However. the sign board "Stop
and Go" type of umpires-var sp-
pealed to us. An umpire. like a
player. is a, better man in his one
resslon if he has individuality and a
touch of color. It always was a
treat to watch “Lord" Byron umpire.
He never lost' the National League
any patronage with his weird little
chants and yother idiosyncrasies.

W'e never have been annoyed at
Bill Klem's swinging decisions. par.
ticularly the one where he hits a
phantom opponent uppsrout to
the jaw while cal a also out.
“Silk" O'Laughlin’s "strut! tub” won
him fame wherever baseball was
discussed. while Tim Hurst bubbled
with color. ‘

So if. "Beans" Reardon. brings any
new stun into the More he is
doubly welcome. We have snough
drab umpires as it is. - '

6000 meter. This event had been
conceded to the Finn by most of the
sharps although there were those
who thought the great Billie Ritola .
would profit by Nurmi's record
breaking performance in the mile.
But no didn't.

W'here does Nurmi get all, his
speed and all his stamina? In the
first place as contrasted. tor in-

allogcther upon his toes. At every
stride his heel taps the floor—40er-
iirst of eourscwand he wears hocls
upon his running shoes. The touch
of the heel is just a touch. no more.
And it all: rds him a. certain ln-
rtanteous flash of rut every step.
Then he runs straight whereas
our grunners were forward. Thus
Nurmi was carrying no weight. He
used a. long stride even upon the
boards. quite contrasting to Ray's
patterlng stride. Yet all possible
speed is there. It was a wonderful
performance. He is a champion of
champions. Nurmi had been do-
ing (.19 in his practice dashes in
the local indoor tracks at times
when he apparently was out to see
what he could do. Thus word was
abroad among the insiders that Ray
would take him in the mile. And
Bay was expected to do no men-9
than 4.17. As it turned out Nurmii
was spoofing the clockcrs and. i!
Ray had not. been in the’ best form
of his career he would have sus-
tained by far the worst beating he

The first appearance of the Firm
in this country was marked by
sights and sounds unprecedented in
the track annals indoors or- out. Ev-l

women stood ten deep at every
available point of vantage. Outside
the garden loitered hundreds who.
unable to get inside the building.
yet remained out in the cold as
though loathe to quit the scene.
