Wilson, an unknown prior to his winning of the championship has a few admirers unions the rxperts who Hellcvo he will beat O'Dowd. They point tothc nndenlajili! fact that Alike, never a flashy boxer, is aging and Hint ho has lout some of hla speed. Then, there are some who are of the opinion that Wilson did not win over O'Dowd by a fluke as tho majority believe, but that ho won becuuso ho wa the bettor man. Despite tho fact that O'Dowd never won ring fame because ho was a skillful boxer or n clever ring gen iTiil, we fall to see how he has re trograded to a great extent. His victory over Jeff Smith several weeka ngo was by a clean cut mar gin and In that go Mlko showed all his old-tlmo slugging power nnd rtiggcd ability to assimilate an op ponent's wallop. Aside from his de feat by Wilson O'Dowd hasn't been beaten In several years and lie .has whipped some, classy wrappers, Mlko (llbbons and Smith Included.

Then) "Is no reason why a group of young men who derive their livelihood from playing baseball should bo In such a condition that It Is necessary for weeks of training before they aro In shape to play good baseball. Any young man, nnd .specially a professional athlete, should keep himself In gsod physical trim at nil times nnd with a few days' limber ing should be ready for the call of play.

Another recent chance In spring training Ideas Is the elimination of two practices dally and the holding of only one workout Instead. There are several disadvantages In tin holding of two seslons, After tho morning workout, players naturally ate a hearty lunch. Also, the don ning of uniforms twice a uny is monotonous and the players weary of tho grind an training progresses- Sapulivi Wins District I, S1IAWNKH, Okla., March 12.
