Playing the Field With Eddie Ash
JOE BECKETT finally and actually won a fight. Old Frank Moran was his victim, but even Old Frank made Joe kiss the canvas twice before his aged pins got too shaky to hold him up. BOMB WELLS tried it again and rattled the boards in the sixth, taking the count before a younger Britisher. One thing about those English heavyweights, they don’t waste any time in looking for a soft spot whenever they’re hit. BATTLING SIKI is said to have called off his proposed trip to America. Well, who cares about it? SIKI is said to have fallen out with his manager. Yes, they probably fell out of a Fiench bar room together. FANS shivered in overcoats at the Baltimore-St. Paul game Thursday. Players’ fingers were like icicles and Marty Berghammer got a digit broken when he side-swiped Maisel in rounding second. Jack Frost officially opened the season today. That's the cue for barnstorm ball teams to take to the barn. WITH the advent of frost out come the college crosscountry runners to test their courage against the frigid winds. B-r-r-r. Only a college boy can stand it. • SOX and Cubs were even again after Thursday’s skirmish. These warmedover baseball games are hard to take. Three Indianapolis high schools In football action today. Rooting brigades were out in force. That’s the old pepper! Kick-offs galore Saturday. A feature game for almost every tribe of college grid hosts. If fool hall Interferes with your business business can wait. Monday’s coining. IF you can't pronounce some of those Minnesota grid names ask Shorty Burch. He’s been a wrestler and knows lots of tricks. INDIANS won the championship of southern Indiana Thursday. They beat Madison. The Scenic City boys couldn't warm up to Jess Petty’s fall fadeaways.

TEMPTING FATE Indianapolis high schools are tempting - fate today. Three of them selected Friday the 13th as a good day to play football. There’s no superstition there. It's'a popular day. But watch your step, fans, and don’t fall out of the bleachers. The innocent bystander Is the one who usua'ly gets the worst of it. Bill Spaulding and his Minnesota warriors were to arrive today and practice late .his afternoon. Better call off the jractice, Bill.

ALL ST. PAIL FIGHT ATTRACTS mcypTii Tommy Gibbons and Billy Miske Scheduled to Meet in New , York Tonight. By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—Fall’s mystic curtain-raiser —and it promises to be one of the most important heavyweight bouts of the season—is scheduled for tonight when Billy SRske and Tommy Gibbons, rival St. Paul fighters, are to meet over a fifteen-round route. .Eyes of Jack Dempsey, Harry Wills and possibly Battling Siki, world's light heavyweight champion of Senegal, will be turned toward tonight's null in view of a possible opponent for any or ail being found in the victor. The bout will mark the beginning of an elimination contest among big boys for the doubtful privilege of meeting Dempsey. Tiie St. Paul light heavies have met three times. Each contest was of the no-<lecision order, but popular verdict favored Gibbons. This time. Miske is favorite. He has put on weight and has been beating some good boys, while Gibbons seems, to many of his supporters, to have slipped back a little. The slightly longer route —they used to meet in ten-round affairs —is considered advantageous to Miske.

I By United Xetcs - LONDON, Oct. 13.—Joe Eeckett, ' England’s champion heavyweight cani vac kisser, has at last won a fight, j He beat old Frank Moran here Thuraj day night.
