OPINION DIFFERS DN OUTCOME Os TAVLOR-VILLA GO Bud Given Fight by Some Sports Writers, While Others Call It Draw, By L nited Press MILWAUKEE, Wis.. March 7. : There was considerable difference of ! opinion on the out-come of the tenround no-derision bout here Thursday | night between Bud Taylor of Terre ; Haute and Paneho Villa, flyweight I champion. Some sportifig writers gave ' the fight to Taylor and others called it i a draw. While Taylor scored effectively and I blocked perfectly during the early j stages of the battle. Villa came back strong in the closing rounds. Taylor worked his left hand continually and had Villa’s head bobbing back and | forth, while the flyweight champion did his .best work at body punching. Villa appeared to be holding back and it was not until after several rounds had passed that he seemed to get veins. He was at a great disadvantage because of Taylor’s height, reach and weight and these factors played an -important pari in the contest. Bud weigHfed 117 and Villa 112%. Taylor, not unmindful of Villa’s snappy right, fought a careful battle and kept the Filipino brushing away his left jab and diJ not let him get set. About the sixth round Villa started boring :ri and proved to be very effective, but the best part of the fight had passed. Though sensational in spurts, the battle did not come up to expectations Manchester Defeats Adrian By Times Spec’a NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind., March 7. —Manchester walloped Adrian College of Michigan. 40 to 14, in a runaway game here Thursday night.

HODAPP’S FINE FIELDING IMPRESSES TRIBE BOSS Cincy Youngster Spe?rs Everything in Practice Session — Schmandt Shows Splendid Form —Smith Shows Up, By EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor PLANT CITY, Fla., March—The single practice per day aystem in the spring camp of the Indians is getting excellent results and Manager Bush said today his men would be ready for the Ciney Reds March 13.

George "Smith, the pitcher bought from the Brooklyn Dodgers, put in his appearance at the Tribe camp today. The pitchers are not as far along as the others, but they are gradually finding themselves and probably will be turning loose some hard stuff next week. Jay Kirke and Harold Janvrin took their first drills Thursday, but confined their work to batting only, Kirke cracked one over the distant right field fence, but the wind curved it foul. Jay said his left wristrbroken last spring, had regained its old strength and he announced himself all set to give Ray Schmandt a battle for the first base job. Schmandt is looking better every day, his fielding performance in practice Thursday being especially noteworthy. Hodapp Grata ’Em Hodapp's fielding again brought commendation from Bush and Ownle is becoming excited overjhe lad's possibilities. The boy went Through the entire drill Thursday without hobbling once. He has the actions of Glenn Wright, Kansas City star shortstop of last season. , The Tribe boss worked out on the ir.fteld Thursday for the first time this spring when he replaced Sicking at second base for part of the drill. The ground around second is treacherous and Sicking was fighting a losing battle with the bounders. Colonel John Gross. Kentucky rookie pitcher, let out. slightly Thursday and Impressed Bush with his style. He is a three-way twirier, overhand, sideami and underhand. Gross Lets Out He pitched for the Mt. Sterling team in the Blue Grass League last season and though official records of that circuit were not published. Hod Eller is s.uthority for the information that Grose registered one nohit game and three one-hit contests. Eller says Gross’ chief fault was lack of control. Bush says the Colonel may be one of those good wild twlrlers. Catchers Krueger *n<T Dixon, pitcher Petty, Outfielder Christenbury and utility player Whelan were still on the missing list Thursday night. Shortstop Peehous is no longer figured a prospect, as he apparently is sincere about ht* retiring from organized baseball. Big Ten Standing Won. Lost. Pet.

FRENCH OBJECTION TO OLYMPIC HEAD IGNOREDBY ALLEN Reports Executive Would Resign Denied by Fdends — Americans Peeved, By HENRY L. FARRELL NEW YORK, March 7.—Maj. Gen. Henry T. Allen, former commander of the American Army of Occupation in Germany, does not intend to resign as the executive of the'American Olympic committee because France objects to him. General Allen did not comment on the report from Paris that he had resigned from the American Olympic body. “I’m still on the job and that should answer the reports,” he said. Reports that General Allen would announce his retirement at a dinner which the Olympic committee is to give to New York sport editors tonight were denied by his friends.

The French committee says General Allen showed he was anti-French when he was commanding the American troops in Germany and that he violated professional confidences in several instances when he was writing his memoirs.
