JAY DAVIDSON
Just at the moment when it seemed
that he was to gel the chance of his
ring career by winning a match with
the lightweight champion for the world
title. George Memsic was overtaken by
his Nemesis, and his hopes were shat
: I by means of a painful accident
yesterday afternoon, when he broil
large bone In his right forearm in the
fourth round of hi* schedule,l twenty
flv< round fight with Lew Powell of
Frin o, and the bout had to be stopped
and the decision awarded to his oppo
nent. The accident occurred during
one of their mtxups at close range,
when Menisic swung liis right and
eought Powell on the point of the el
bow, the bone snapping Just above the
wrist. Notwithstanding that he was
suffering: intense pain, he gamely
fought nut the round, and wont to his
corner with a lons lead on total points
over his opponent.
After returning to his corner he In
formed his seconds that h p had broken
hi.s arm and requested that a physician
be brought into the ring to verify his
■tatemi nt. The physician appi
and after an examination informed
Referee Charley ESyton that the right
forearm was broken and Memglc
should not be permitted to go on
with the fight. Eyton stepped to the
center of the ring and announced the
facts i" the fans, and stopped the fight
by .'iwarding the decision to Powell, as
he was compelled*to do under the rules.
The fans were expecting some such
news, as Memsic did not respond when
the bell rang for the fifth round, and
the crowds began to file out of the
building.
Memsic showed all his old-time
speed, cleverness and punching ability,
in the three rounds that he had two
good arms and hands with which to
tight, and this agreeably surprising
form reversal encouraged his admirers
in the b< lief that he would win the
battle, probably by the knockout route.
but surely on decision if the fight went
the limit. His great speed, cleverness
and terrific punch were in evidence in
every round, and he clearly outboxed
and outfought the speedy and clever
boy from the north, having a good lead
nt the end "f the light.
Before the first round was a minute
old Memalo floored Powell for the count
of six with a clean, sharp left hook to
the law. Powell fell hard and seemed
to be hurt, but he got up and fought
well until the end of '.he round, even
though being considerably behind In
the count at the song.
Again, in the second round. Memsie
showed his punch when he staggered
Powell with a hard right swing to the
Jaw that landed glanclngly, Had v it
landed squarely the fight would have
ended right there, judging from the
effect of the blow when it landed.
Throughout the second round Mcmsie
beat Powell to nearly every blow, and
outboxed the northern boy by a. wide
margin. He rocked Powell's head sev
eral times with lefts that landed high.
and followed up his advantage at all
times by keeping right on top of Powell
and forcing the Issue. Memslc sur
prised his friends by fighting a Strong,
cool-headed battle, overlooking his in
clination to fall a victim of his nasty
temper and toss away the fight by
swinging wildly, as he had done so
frequently in the last two years.
Powell confined his boxing almost en
tirely to left labs t> the face, and he
had Memslc bleeding at the nose in the
second, third and fourth rounds. He
did not seem to have much use for his
right, except to block with, but ex
plained this by saying that he went
into the fight to put up a careful bat
tle, and make sure that he would win
the decision if he should fail to knock
out the Bohemian. He walked over to
Memslc after the fight, sympathized
with him, and told him he could have
another match when he was ready
for it.
MINN WINS but gets DRAW
The first preliminary wftu a fluke
in so far as the referee's decision was
concerned. Harry Dunn and Berryl
Hatton furnished the amusement at
112 pounds, and Dunn had a clear and
distinct lead in every round, but at the
end of the fourth round, the limit pre
scribed, Referee Artie Reynolds called
it a draw. Dunn punished Hatton se
verely In every round, was always on
the aggressive and had Hatton bleed-
Ing from the first minute until the end.
At the beginning of the fourth round
Hatton was so weak ho could make
hardly any defense, and the decision
of the referee was received with
groans. Dunn should have been given
the decision by a mile. He worked his
right cross with good effect in every
round and frequently had Hatton going
so badly that it looked like he would
score a knockout.
AM.ION TASTES HIS FIRST DEFEAT
The semi-wlndup was .■• twenty
round bout between Dick Allen and Jim
Cameron, heavyweights, and w.-cs a
.slow and uninteresting sera;), Cameron
winning by a good margin. Alien, as
usual, was about an hour Blow with his
punches, and Cameron, notoriously a
slow fighter, appeared to be fast and
clever by comparison, Alii fought
only one good round, the last, and if
lie had started out at the same rate he
would have, knocked out the negro.
Cameron was a much improved fighter,
being 1 well trained and remarkably im
proved in the use of his hands. He did
not show anything that looked like a
real punch, however, and Allen slowed
him down every time he connected with
one of his pile-driver blows, Allen
passed up many opportunities to score
In every round because be was too
slow and seemed to get rattled when
under tire

it has remained for the Y. M. C. A.

gratifying for the committee. In fact
it required a good month's work to j

ball bungling of 'very variety, the An
gela connecting with the horsehide for
the safeties at least once an Inning
throughout the fray. The Villagers
came In for a few good ones, too, and
distributed eight around the diamond
during the swinging. Twenty-three
hits and the Berry boys have banged
off the hoodoo. , The nannies have set
out In another direction for their sus
tenance, and there Is sorrow In the
camp of Hogan.
Nagle twirled great ball throughout
and kept the base trips hard to obtain.
He presented only one free puss and
kept his winning grlr to the lust.
Sehnfor seemed to turn them out Just
right for the Dlllonltes, and Hogan
took him out after tho fourth bang
division. Stovall was Buffering' from
wlklnoss and started out with 8 pass
for Cap Dillon. Tho sixth was his
worst heaving division, when the Berry
wonders sent out a quartet of the
base winners. The game was all 1..0S
Angeles', from Daley's single In the
first to Orendorff's long catch of a foul
In the closing Inning, and the Villagers
did not seem to get started at any time.

Pop PI linn find Delmas were the
bright and shining lights of the Angel
batting heavens, three of th" Ansel
tallies standing to the credit of "Our
Pap," and Delmas being the sludger
that generally brought the Angel lead
er homeward. Out of five times up
Dillon secured two hits and a pair or
walks, and fielded Ills regular errorless
frame Delmai annexed three clouts
from' four times at the. swinging
ground, and covered his position with
out ft miss.
iTtsher and Thrown came in for the
hatting honors of the Vernrnltes, the
former with two singles and a triple,
and the Vernon catcher landing, on
Nagle for two of the one-trip variety.

Fisher picked out one of Nnjrln's
choicest and clouted it. out in the blue-
Krass of the rii^ht field fence. Brown
brought the Vernon corf.or man in with
a low drive over short, and Happy's
luekv'peason was' ended. Nary a run
could he tease from under Nagrle's
smile, and he finally retired to the
bench and gloomy despair.

CLOUT FIRST BALL
IF GOOD, SAYS TY
Cobb Doesn't Make Practice of
Letting Initial Fling
Get Past Him
CURBS DESIRE TO PELT PEA
Peerless Slugger Says Old Timers
Would Look Like Big
Boobs Today
DETROIT, May 21.—Ty Cobh Is proud
of his ability to hit the ball lately with
men on bases, and points with pride to
i 1 g fact that he lias driven In more
runs than any member of the Detroit
team • mre he joined the club. In speak
in« of this tho other day the famous
batsman said:
"1 find it easiei to hit the ball with
the bases full. The pitcher is worried,
the Infleldera are guessing, and when
yon do hit the ball the tlyiiiK Imse
runners rattle and disconcert the men
w ho are trj Ing to handle It.
"With men on base 1 generally lay
for the first ball the pltchei hands over,
its dollars i" dimes that If h« can lay
that Hist one straight over the pan
he'll do it. and 1 soak quite a few »(
them. The majority of butsmen will
up the first ball, no mutter If It
itits the platter, But you'll never get
this boy overlooking one of that kind.
Nine times out of ten 1 u« to the plate.
prepared to tickle the tirst ball, if the
pitcher lays It over,
•I never take a j.;ood healthy swing
at the ball any more. I like to do It.
but you cant get anything In the bis
leagues swinging the willow. The spit
ball pltcnerj would make a dunce of
1 you in short order, to say nothing of
! the boxmen who have mastered a good
change of pace, They'll shoot one over
that looks like a pea, then feud you a
slow one that come* floating up «a big"
as a balloon. But you are set for tin*
fust .ne and break jour back reacting
for the slow ball.
"In the old days the great hitters
Dave Orr, Pete Browning, Dan
Brouthers and pop An«on -big fellows,
who swung onto a ball with the force
of a trip-hammer. Bring 'em in one of
the big rings today and the artists of
modflrn baseball .would make 'em look
like jokes.
"You can't grab a wagon tongue
down at the handle, reach back and
swing half way around for a curve
pitcher. They'd make you look foolish,
and you wouldn't have enough batting
average at the end of a month to get
your name In the percentages.
"The great hitters of our time grab
their batting sticks a foot or more from
the handle, and instead of swinging-,
aim to meet the ball Hush. It's just
like the short-arm punch In the prize
ring. The long swingers, with their
terrible haymakers, seldom set the
money nowadays. It's the JefTrieses
and Johnsons, with their murderous
short-arm punches to the body, that
Invariably bring home the candy. Moth
ing suits mo better than to take a good
crack at the leather, but I can't afford
to get out of my stride, so 1 stick to
the sure system of just meeting the
ball with a half-way grip on my war
club."
In speaking of pitchers who bother
him the most Oobb says: "There was
a time when Addle Joss of Cleveland
had me going sideways. Two years ago
I got two hits off Joss In twenty-eight
trips to the plate. 1 could connect with
tha ball, but couldn't get it safe. In
1969 it was different, anil I hit Joss
about as regularly as the next. Bill
Burns of Washington and Chicago
bothered me .1 lot in 1908. When Burns
j was with Washington. I'd a heap sooner
: face Walter Johnson than Bill. John
.lll, in the estimation of keen Judges, Is
about the best pitcher in the American
league. But every member of the in
troit team will tell you that George
Mullln is the king, and I guess over in
Cleveland they think Addle Joss has It
on them all."
Dl cussing outficlding and outfielders
1 vi.l, says: '.'"'•
"Nearly all our fielders play too deep.
For every ball hit over our heads them
are dozens that drop safe between the
Inflelders and outfielders. Hut you Just
can't get an outfielder to work In close
unles3 it's for some weak hitter who
never lifts the hall very far over an in
flelder'a head." .;■.-■■'

SAN PEDRO, May 81.—Naval Archi
tect iv D. Callahan has bean commla-
Hioncd by a syndicate of Bantu Bar
bara yachtsmen to design and build
an up-to-date racing yacht for tlio de
fense! of the Santa Barbara Yacht club
this gummemr when the South Coast
Yacht club cruises to that port and
sails a aeries of races there.
The South Coast Yacht club has been
the. guest of the Santa Barba:a yachts
men several seasons before this, and
the cruise to this city la always looked
forward to by the local yachtsmen with
great anticipation, as the Santa Bar
bara yachtsmen are famous hosts. It
Is expected that several Ban Francisco
boats will sail down to Santa Barbara
this summer and add to the event.
Mr. Callahan will not make any
statement in regard to the dimensions
of the new boat, except that she will
be built to the limit of the universal
rule of measurement now In force on
this coast and that she will be designed
tor class Q. Nothing will be spared in
her design and construction that will
make speed, and the very best Wilson
& Silsby sails and Fiaser hollow span
will be used. Special blocks and rig
ging will be provided, and as she will
be the only strictly up-to-date facing
boat of her type on the Pacific coast,
■he should create considerable Interest.
Mr. Callahan Is at work on designs
for several other boats, and he predicts
a prosperous season for the Smith
Coast Yacht club and 'yachting In
