CHICAGO NINE STARTS WEST Chicago, Arne. 4 —(U.R) — Coach Nelson Norgren and his Univer-, sliy of Chicago baseball squad entrained today for the first leg of their trip to the Orient, where they will play 15 games against Japan's strongest college teams. The Maroon squad will play a series of 11 games en route to Seattle where they will sail for 1-pan aboard the S. S. Hlkawa Maru, Aug. 20. They will arrive In Yokohama Sept. 2 and will not return to Chicago until Nov. 1, their arrival being timed with the renewal of the Chicago-Princeton football series on the midway. The preent squad is the fifth' r ’hica"o University team to invade •he Oi'ent ns guests of Waserta University since 1910, when Prof«.ssor Iso Abe, "father of Japanese baseball" and Athletic Director Alonzo A. Stagg of Chicago, arranged the first tour of an Ameiican team in Japan. Foil- previous invasions have resulted in 41 victories, seven dehats and seven ties for the Amer leans. Tlie 1930 Chicago team won only three Big Ten confer-1 nee fames and faces a tough Job •n mainta ning the record of their i.'rdet’eSsors. Coach Norgren has kept the 'earn at internive practice since) •he close of the school year and with the addition of three star r roshtnen made available when 'h«y completed their year’s residence, the squad has been showing "rent improvement. The Maroons made a clean sweep of recent praet'ce games and have eight men lulling at better than a .300 dip. ‘‘Our team couldn't be called a ereat one," said Norgren, “but it is a better than average college aggiegat'nn and should make a creditable record. “The Japanese college teams are good and their play is marked by clever defensive work and strategy. We'll have an advantage in hitting but my previous trips have taught me that it Isn't easy to defeat the Japanese. Baseball has made great advances in the Orient but the best baseball is played by the colleges." The Chicago squad will make the trip to the Pacific coast in easy jumps, playing the following schedule of exhibition games: Aug. s—Northern Pacific R. K. nt St. Paul; Aug. 6 —Jamestown, ND.; Aug. I—Dickinson,1 — Dickinson, N. D.; Au". 8- Miles City, Mont.; Aug. 9 Forsythe, Mont.; Aug. 11 —Billings. Mont.; Aug. 12- Livingston, I Mont.; Aug. 13 —Butte, Mont.; Aug. 14— East Helena, Mont.; Aug. 16 —Spokane, Wash., (night game); Aug. 19 —Everett, Wash. In add'tion to Coach Norgren, the squad includes the following dayers: Harold Bluhm, Harold C. Johnson. John Lynch and Jack Gray, outfielders; Arthur Cahill and Hayden Wingate, catchers; Rov Henshaw, William Knowles and Wilbur J. Urban, pitchers; Marshall Fish, Capt. Maurice Hol-

FIGHT TO BE HELOTHURSDAY New York, Aug. 4 (U.R) - Strange as it may seem, there' Is a boxing bout scheduled for this week which hasn't given rise to the usual stor ies of being "in the hag" and promises to be a real honest fight. The bout in question is the Kid Cho<4olate-Jack (Kid) Berg contest at tlie Polo Grounds Thursday night. Interest ha} mounted to the point where the crowd seems cerain to go beyond 50,000 and the gate is expected to exceed $225,000. The match has been a "natural" almost from the very time it was made. Kid Chocolate, Cuban negro, has 168 straight victories to his redit in amateur and professional ■anks, barring a draw with Joe Scalfaro in 1928, and has never been defeated. Berg, a little English Hebrew, who came to this country two years ago without much of a reputation, lias whipped most of the lightweights who would fight him. He has taken his place with A.l Singer, lightweight champion, and Chocolate as one of the three most popular boxers in New York. Fighting much after the fashion of the late Harry Greb, Berg vio lases every known style of ring lighting. From bell to bell, he is 1 ve. itable windmill, all arms, elbows, fists —and action. It is one of lhe mysteries of the ring bow this red-cheeked, sleekhaired little Englishman can go at top speed for every minute of ten rounds, and not drop from exhaustion. A noted physician explains it by saying in effect that Berg carries an oxygen tank arqund his chest with him. Chocolate will concede Beig omething like ten pounds and many believe the weight handicap will prove too much for him. Berg will scale 134 and Chocolate will come in at about 126. Chocolate is the leading contender for the featherweight title, and Berg the leading challenger for the lightweight crown. Chocolate holds a decision over Singer. If Berg wins he will meet Singer In September, but the lightweight titleholder is not anxious for an othei bout with Chocolate. Bettings odds favor Berg at 6 to 5, but Chocolate has many backets who may bring the odds to evelM money.
