Jack’s Beezer Gets Test

Bu Timet /Special LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 10.—Jack Dempsey’s new nos© was given a sledge-hammer test the other day, and came through with flying colors. I.ee Moore, a lightweight, took a smack at Jack’s synthetic sneezer and landed flush. Dempsey took the wallop, grinned and gave Moore a left-handed cuff that sent him into the ropes. “I put everything into that punch," Moore said afterward. "That new nose isn’t a freak, and ought to stand up." THEY’RE ALL DOING IT Bu United Prett NEW YORK, March 10.—Lloyd Hahn, Boston A.

KNEES WABBLE AS BIG BOYS HIT IN MAIN GO Sobject and Bums in Ten Round Draw at Tomlinson — Fans Get Thrill as Battlers Open Up. By VEDDER GARD There is something about seeing a big man’s knees wabble that carries a decided kick—at least to the boxing fan 4. To see the Woolworth tower tremble on its foundations would be worth more than watching a one-story building crumble to the ground. Local fight enthusiasts saw two battlers in the light heavy class go after each other Monday night at Tomlinson Hall show as though they meant business. And it was a real thrill.

The big boys in the no-decision louts are not wont to put out a great deal at, times. They like to spar around awhile, hang on a little, wrestle and poke each other carefully. That’s the way the Larry Sobjeck and Tommy Bums fight in the Washington A. C. ten round windup started out. But that was not the way it finished. Thud to Blows During the last four rounds there was a thud to the blows and the wallops were a knockout with the fans and almost on one occasion to one of the battlers. The fight was a draw. Burns had the edge at the start in some longrange milling. Then Sobjeet stepped out and piled up an advantage with a straight-from-the-shoulder punch that did not travel far but had plenty of power. A ninth-round rally by Burns almost put Sohject down. A right to the Jaw staggered the Milwaukee battler and his defense, which had been all elbows and gloves, went down. The big fellow's knees wobbled, but he stayed on hts “pins.*’ Tommy waded in with a shower of blows, and it looked as though Larry would not weather the storm. He recuperated quickly, however, and, like a ship which sticks Its nose up out of storm-tossed waves, he met the crisis with the instinct of the ring and came out of the barrage of gloves to fight back doggedly. Weight Advantage Sobjoct had a seven-pound weight advantage, but Burns made up for this by a more shifty attack. It was a panther against a bear and the honors were even at the end. .loe Cooper, West York, 111., although apparently not in the host condition, defeated Howard Mason of Milwaukee In one of the eight-round seinl-windup bouts. Mason proved a tough/ customer and could not be put away, although the Illinois fighter wore himself out hitting. Mason liad the better of the in-flghting, with one arm always free peppering away. They are 140-pound-ers. Merle Alte, 118-pounder, had the best of Kenneth Shuck of Louis ville in the other eight-rounder. Tho local lad fought a typical Alte fight, boring In continually. Royal Co*' -von over Maxte Epstein in six rounds. Royal got in the clean blows. They are 118pounders, both of Indianapolis. In the first six-round bout Jimmy Sayers of Lafayette and Johnny Stewart of Kenosha, Wis., fought to a draw. A capacity house watched the milling.

Tribe Gossip

CITY, Fla., 11 1 March 10. Ownie Bush says he would not trade Johnny Hodapp for Freddie Lindstrom, the boy wonder of the New York Giants. Lindstrom filled Heinie Groh’s shoes in the world’s series last fall and was a star. He also is going good this spring at Sarasota, where the Giants are training. According to Bush, Hodapp possesses more batting powar than Lindstrom, more force for long drives. Lindstrom has more speed than the Indian third basemen, but Bush says batting ability gives the edge to Hodapp as the more desirable ball player. Pitcher John Thompson, tho Hooeier lefty, takes weight off at the park and then laughs It hack on in the evening. At least that Is Trainer Pierce's observation.

Expect Reluctant Gardener to Come to Terms “Best Practice of Year,” Says Tribe Boss. By EDDIE ASH, Sports Editor PLANT CITY, Fla., March 10. —Outfielder Sumpter Clarke reached the Tribe training camp late Monday night and was expected to report for practice today. He will talk over his contract troubles with the club officials later. Clarke was purchased from the Cleveland Americans and is on the Hoosier hold-out list.

Manager Bush feels sure Clarke’s case ■will be settled shortly and that the player will appear in the Tribe lineup against Cleveland Friday. The outfielder played in the Florida Winter League and is in shape. "The best practice of the trip,” was Manager Bush’s comment Monday afternoon after he had sent his athletes through a furious session under perfect weather conditions. The catchers went back of the plate in complete armor for the first time and, with the exception of Thompson and Cassell, all the pitchers took a turn in the box and cut loose with speed and curves. Krueger in Shape Catcher Krueger appeared to be in fine shape back of the bat and young Florence also pleased with his actions under fire. Robertson caught well enough, but his throwing to bases was only fair. The veteran is having trouble with his salary wing. Rush said today he would use three pitchers in the exhibition game here Friday, and that Petty, Sc hem ana ke and Fitzsimmons probably would get the call to work three innings each against the major leaguers. Outfielder Chrlstenbury took his first drill Monday and expressed the opinion he would be ready to perform in the contest Friday. Bush put on. the old pressure during in-

field practice Monday and the speed of the inner guardians was dazzling. Infield Workout Schmandt, Sicking, Hodapp and Schreiber teamed to perfection. Bush is coaching Hodapp to move faster on the first jump when going after a bounder, and the Cincy youth Is beginning to show improved class around the third sack. After Schreiber and Hodapp were excused for the day, Yoter went to the short field and Deloof to third. Yoter again showed marked superiority over Deloof in the field and in throwing. Both rookies bat fairly well during hitting practice, and Deloof displayed wonderful speed In running the paths. Schmandt Away Fast Big Schmandt gives promise of getting away to a flying start this year. He b crashing the ball hard and guarding first base in phenomenal style. Bob Steele faced the batters for the first time Monday and announced he was pleased with his progress. He hopes to be in shape to "bear down” within a few days and take regular turns with the other Tribe hurlera. Bush has much faith in this southpaw veteran. Bush also speaks glowingly of Schemanske. who looked powerfully strong on the mound Monday.
