On April 23 he will run in the quarter mile relay as anchor man for Occidental and in the 220-yard international race. The final day he is entered in the 100-yard dash, the half-mile relay race and the broad jump. In a recent meet witn Pomona College, he scored 1G points. He won the 100 yards in 9 4-5 seconds and the broad jump with a leap of 22 feet inches: was second in the shot put with a heave of 40 feet inches, second in the high jump, clear ing 5 feet 30 inches and was beaten at the tape by inches in the 220 yards in 2 1-5 seconds. run through the home stretch.

Dillon was plainly out of condition but he never was- In distress. Dell was on the defensive either backing away or clinching during the entire fight, excepting the fifth round, which he earned by a shade. Once in a while he set himself and planted a hard right to the face Or a left to the stomach as Dillon rushed him.

Dillon dislocated the thumb on his left hand during the eighth round but finished out the fight. Joe Walling of Louisville and Bum Nolan of Jef fersonville, fought a sizzling six-round draw in a preliminary. Nolan took the first round, using a left jab and a right to the kidneys. Walling came back and got the second and third, doing some clean, hard punching with both hands. Nolan outfought Walling in the fourth and fifth but Walling evened the battle with hard rights and lefts to the jaw (Continued on Page 10.) studying the mannerisms and faults of batters.

With my control 1 could pitch to those faults. I wouldn't hesitate ito take responsibility and chang the catcher's signal if I felt certain that he was wrong about a certain baiter. It is far better to take responsibility, even if it fails, than go back to the bench with the alibi: "Well. I did what the catcher told me." Oh, how often have 1 heard that! I would practice on bunts hours at a time. I would learn to throw mys-self toward first on every pitch so that if a bunt was hit that way I would be right on top of it.

I would never get so conceited as to think 1 could fool a batter by the mere use of speed. In other words, I would not groove the ball and take a chance. From what I know now the chances are the batter would slaughter me. I would use my speed and curve, of course, but I would take advantage of my control to use tjhem on the corners or pitch them high or low. I would learn a change of pace so that when the batters expected a fast one I could lob up a slow one.

and so on. ln other wrtrdsi, I would train myself to give tb'e batter exactly what he didn't want. Louisville Boy Heads Harvard Fencing Team Talked about their brother, Now there are three. Cambridge. April iA) Richard A.

Durham of Duuisville, was chosen of the Harvard fencing team. He is a junior. By MILLER HUGGINS. In the past ten years I have spent probably four years of that time giving advice to, pitchers. For the beginner, though, I will try to condense it in a very small articla.

If I were a young pitcher and had been told I was good enough to be sent to the big league 1 would immediately get a boy friend, tatye a cigar box for a plate and practice two hours every afternoon until I got word to report. If I couldn't get friend to catch me that long I would go out. measure off sixty feet and throw at a hole in the fence. It would be well worth all my time. Ninety per cent of pitching is con trol.

If a man didn't have a good arm ind couldn't throw a curve he wouldn't even- start as a pitcher. He would never think of it. Assum-uing that you have those qualiliea. tions all the rest is control. Without control he can never match wits with big league batters and base runners, it nrikes no difference how clever a man is and how exactly he knows what to do, what does it amount to if he cannot control the ball so as to 00 that thing? If.

for instance, you knew that Babe Ruth couldn't hit a ball low and outside what good woul I it do you if you couldn't pitch a ball to that spot? Christy Matthewson was one of the first of our modern great pitchers to get that ideja clearly into his head. He went out and practiced by the hours. He forgot his speed everything. All he wanted was to put the ball where he knew it ought to he put. He accomplished it and Matty was great.

Above all, if I were a young pitcher, 1 wouldn't let anybody bull me along about my great speed or my quick-breaking curve. Those well wishers get a man's mind set on those things and he forgets the necessity of learning control. When I did finally get control and was in the big league I would begin mediately after the running of the latter stake they will be returned here to contest in the Derby. W. V.

Walsh, owner Ward's first assistant, will take the other division of this establishment to New York and it will be kept on the metropolitan circuit throughout the summer. Wise Counsellor and Worthmore will be sent to New York soon after the running of the Derby. Trainer Lon Jones gave Glide and Panola, Ilarned Brothers' Derby and Kentucky Oaks candidates, workouts yesterday. The first named galloped three-quarters of a mile in 1:13 4 5 in company with Colfin, while Sanola worked the same distance alone in 1:20 2-5. Glide gives every indication of developing into the star 3-year-old filly of the season on the Kentucky circuit.

and Gowdy: rjnd S-halk. pitching Barnes boys In the major show, Wondering which'll fizzle. Be the first to fio. i By JOHN FRANCIS. Willie Ames, clever Akron speed-ball ringster, was too much of a problem and whirlwind for Mickey O'Dowd of Muncie, to solve in their twelve-round headliner at the Jefferson County Armory last night.

Moving at a mile-a-minute speed for the entire thirty-six minutes of battling, Ames out-fought and overwhelmed O'Dowd in seven of the twelve stanzas. Mickey only could connect for a margin in the second, sixth and seventh rounds. The first and fifth were even. In the scmi-windup. Young Jack Dillon of Nashville decisively defeated Jimmy Dell of Louisville In eight rounds.

Dillon hit Dell at will throughout the fight and seldom took a solid smack in re'turn. In the recapitulation, Dillon earned seven of the eight rounds and Dell was lucky to cop the other. They are IDO-pound boys. O'Dowd Tried Hard. Ames administered a severe lacing to O'Dowd.

He continually shot in hard left swings to the jaw and wind, u.sed a right to the kidneys and wind, sent the Hoosier down with a right to the jaw just as the bell sounded to end the third round, and dislocated his jaw ln the tenth round. Mickey, trying hard to make a more favorable impression in the eleventh', dislocated the thumb on his right hand and finished out the fight without trying to land a lick. In the fifth round. O'Dowd raised a big lump over Ames' left eye and in the next almost closed it with a -smashing right. Despite the handicap of obscured vision, however, Ames was not materially slowed up, seemingly seeing as good with an eye and a half as he did with two.

O'Dowd took the sixth and seventh rounds, having previously topped the second. But after the seventh every round went to Ames. The first and fifth were even. In seveeral the O'Dowd connected with solid rights to the jaw which seemed to enrage Ames, who tore after the Hoosier and stormed him with blows to the head and body. In the ninth O'Dowd landed a terrific right to the wind and Ames retaliated with a body and head attack, which sent the Hoosier schoolboy across the ring.

At the opening of the tenth round, the Akron whirlwind again s-ent O'Dowd to cover, with a downpour of gloves. In the remaining two rounds, Ames was all the time ort the offensive.

They have wintered well and show much improvement over their last season's form. Revenue Agent was purchased by Mr. Cochran from John B. Madden last Summer. New Yorkers and racing devotees hereabouts were talking today over Sarazen's impressive work down at Belmont Park Sunday morning.
