FLOWERS SLIGHT FAVORITE Negro Champion 6 to 5 Choice Over Walker in Title Bout Tonight. By Clark B. Kelsey United Press Staff CorresDondmt CHICAGO, Dec. 3.—“ Tiger” Flowers, Negro, world’s middleweight boxing champion, goes into his tenround decision fight against Mickey Walker, former welterweight king, which is to be fought in the coliseum here tonight, a 6 to 5 favorite. The “Tiger" had a pound or two to work off before weighing in time at 3 o’clock today, but his manager, Walk Miller, had little concern over his fighter's ability to make the 160 pound limit. Walker will attempt to provo that fistic experts were wrong in classing him as a “has been," after he lost the welterweight crown to Pete Latzo, at Scranton, Pa., several months ago. •At that time fast living had taken | much out of Mickey and, with " increasing difficulty of making weight, he was easy for Latzo. With his fighting heart, however, he set out to rebuild himself and now feels as fit as ever. Flowers is figured to outspeed Walker, while the former welterweight champion hopes to outslug the middleweight champion. While Flowers is a slight favorite, Jack Kearns, Walker’s manager, is so confident that his boy will beat the colored title holder that he already has completed arrangements to book the New Jersey Irishman as champion. * Opinion seems to be that if the battle goes the route, Flowers will earn the decision, and that jf there is a knock-out it will come from Walker's right mitt, landing on Flower's chin. A sell-out house is expected. BANKERS’ NET LEAGUE Results Thursday night of games in the Bankers’ basketball league at Liberty Hall were as follows: Peoples State Bank, 20; Reserve Loan Life, 17.

CITY BOWLING GOSSIP By Lee

It was a case of Casey and Case on the late shift Thursday night, and when these boys finished they were found to be resting in second place, four pins behind the leaders in bowling tournament doubles event, having a total of 1,217. Case was the load carrier in this event, having games of 287, 222 and 197 for 646. A foul by Casey in the third frame of their last game cost them the lead. Jo© and Karl Kernel were In form Thursday night, and but for a bad 4-6 spit which Joe drew in the tenth frame of their final game they would have reached 1,200. However, their 1,180 was good enough to land them in third place at present. An Interesting card is scheduled In the doubles and singles tonight. Our tip to the railbirds is to watch “Doc" Kemper and Walter Wheeler. C. Moxley and Johnny Edor are two other boys who will make things interesting.

By Eddie Ash Bruno Betzel, new manager of the Indians, will attend the big meeting of the minor leagues in Asheville, N.

Sets Record

Bill Cox Here’s the winner of the recent six-mile collegiate cross-country race In the East. More than that, he hung up anew record for the event, running the distance in 30 minutes and 4 seconds. Cox's time was 30 seconds faster than that made by Tibbetts of Harvard, 1925 winner. Cox is a sophomore at Penn State.

there fighting at all times and that is what puts over the winner in any play. The fire under the Capitol alleys Thursday night created quite a bit of excitement among the pin boys, and as usual the wit of these hustlers cropped out. Hampton said; "Boss, my overcoat Is back there.” Bell said: “Well, go get It,” and Hampton replied: '“Who, me? No sah! It’s too hot to' to use an ’ovah’ coat back there.” Another pin boy went to the rescue and obtained the coat for Hampton.

It will*be Bruno’s first public appearance as manager, and the chances are he'll get a sore arm shaking hands with his many friends in the diamond profession. American Association holds 'its annual winter powwow in Asheville Sunday and the big minor session opens Monday. Star at Louisvl’.le Information that Betzel. for years the star second baseman of the Louisville Colonels, had been appointed field boss of the Tribe leaked out Thursday and Indianapolis fans were delighted with Owner Smith's selection to fill the berth left open when Ownie Bush was elevated to the managerial seat at Pittsburgh. Betzel is of the Bush type, aggressive, peppery and a hustler. He is 32 and has been in league baseball for many seasons. He was in the majors a short time as a member of the Cardinals and played with Indianapolis part of the 1918 season. His home is at Celina, Ohio. m Eddie Sicking, second haseman and Tribe captain the past few seasons, was a strong candidate to succeed Bush here, but Owner Smith preferred Betzel and finally put through the deal with the Colonels. Straight Trade No cash was Included. It was a straight player trade. Shortstop Maurice Shannon and Outfielder Rehg going to the A. A. pennant winners In exchange for Betzel. Rehg also was a managerial candidate here. The trading of Rehg takes away the oldest member of the Indians in point of service, and Tribe fans will miss the smiling Walter. Owing to the fact Betzel vriH he playing manager and perform at second base, Eddie Sicking will he sold or traded. Eddie has played shortstop at times, but his arm Is rather weak for that position. New Shortstop Needed Manager Betzel’s first task, therefore. will be to land a shortstop of Claas AA caliber and this problem will be worked on at Asheville. William C. Smith. Sr., president of the Tribe. Is in California and William C. Smith, Jr., is In New York. A wire from Owner Smith to Secretary’ Clauer Thursday night confirmed the Betzel appointment, news of which crept up by the rumor route from Louisville early Thursday. Betzel came to terms with the Smiths when he made a gumshoe visit to Indianapolis a few days ago. Shannon for Betzel would have been an even trade, but the Indian bosses were forced to part with Rehg also In order to meet the terms demanded by the Colonel bosses before they would give up Bruno.

Good Choice, Avers Ownie Bush

The Indians’ former manager, Ownie Bush, now boss of the Titts burgh Pirates, said today he is convinced Owner Smith made a wise move In obtaining Albert (Bruno) Betzel to direct the 1927 Tribesmen. Ownie lauded Betzel's hustling style and expressed the opinion the veteran Louisville second sacker would be a success here with an even break in luck. “I can not think of a better selection for the job,” Bush stated, "and Smith is to be complimented on figuring out a deal of that kind. Betzel knows the league and no doubt will be of much aid In coaching the pitchers.” YALE TIRES ON * EASY PAYMENTS ent N. Illinois St. Open 7 A. M. Until 9 P. M Sundays Until 1 P. M.
