mT is likely that In the future "champeens” of assorted sizes blooming in the cauliflower garden will stay far, far away from Chicago. They might Visit the city, but they will be extremely bashful about stepping into a prize ring wearing a crown which may be knocked off by a referee’s decision —not by' an opponent’s skill. Sammy Mandell is lightweight champion and Mickey Walker is middleweight titleholder as the result of two hairline verdicts by Chicago referees. It looks as though that is just about enough for Chicago. It Is a dangerous city in more ways than one. There is no doubt of its sinister aspect to a couple of prize fighters—Rocky Kansas and Tiger Flowers. The Illinois State athletic commission backs up the decision of Benny Yanger which gave Walker the championship. The officials say Yanger is honest. We are glad to hear that. There must be a few honest men in Chicago. But are the honest ones all so dumb? We can not understand why, in a fight that was so close, a third man in the ring should give it to either lighter. Surely a champion deserves some consideration. If there was any doubt, why shouldn’t It have been called a draw, at least? Sometimes we believe in a case like this that the referee becomes intoxicated with his own importance. He sees himself as all-powerful, transferring a title by the uplifting of a hand. He sees himself in the headlines from coast to coast as the man whose verdict awarded a fighter a world title in a close battle. Some men are like that. We do not know Benny Yanger. We are not accusing him of such action. It is just a possibility that always lurks in the background of any such bout. Yanger seems to be one of the minority in his verdict on the outcome. His honest opinion very likely was that Walker won. In such case he seems to ke branded as an Incompetent judge by a great many fight writers and critics. Walter Eekersall of the Tribune said: "It looked to me as if the champion were entitled to the decision by a wide margin. Many of the ringsiders thought Yanger had held up the wrong fighter’s hand by mistake.” Don Maxwell, sporting editor of the Tribune, said: "Deacon Flowers converted everybody in the big congregation by beating Mickey Walker in extremely decisive fashion. But he couldn’t convert the referee. Even Walker was surprised when Yankei held up his hand.” Kelly in the American, asked “how Benny Yanger got that way?” Fred Hayner in the Daily News thought, "Flowers won five rounds and could easily have been given three others. He slapped Walker all around the ring and was consistently the aggressor.” Joe Foley In the Chicago Joilmal remarked: “That the verdict stunned the crowd is putting It mildly. Yanger made a mistake but an honest one.” A number of others expressed themselves much the same way. These included E. W. Dickerson, the veteran Grand Rapids referee, and Jimmy Daugherty, Philadelphia referee. After listening to all this other side of the picture as opposed to the referee’s decision, surely the fight could not have been very much In Walker’s favor. Surely a referee has no right under such circumstfyices to take away a title.

NOTRE DAME CENTER HONORED ON ‘OFFICIAL’ NATIONAL TEAM

Boeringer Named by Rice in Colliers’ —Six Other Westerners Selected. SHE all-America football team for 1026 appears in this week's issue of Collier’s Weekly, which makes its thirtyeighth selection of the mythical allstar national team originated by that publication. Grantland Rice, successor of Walter Camp as namer of the allAmerica team, received the cooperation of ten celebrated coaches —Glenn S. Warner of Stanford: Robert B. Zuppke, Illinois; G. C. Woodruff, Georgia; Knute Rockne. Notre Dame; Wallace Wade, Alabama; Captain J. .1. McEwan, Oregon: W. A. Alexander, Georgia Tech; Howard Jones, Southern California; E. P. Madigan, St. Mary’s, Cal,, and Dan E. McGuigan, Vanderbilt. West Predominates As |n the last team named by Walter Camp no member of the socalled "Big Three” appears In the line-up. Geographically, the West predominates in the securing seven places against four from the East. The work of selection represents expert eye-witness impressions from all the leading games of the season, producing the all-America and national honor roll of star players. The selections of Grantland Rice, noted football expert, would be hard to Improve on. The players he has named for his first team are brilliant performers, mighty deserving of the national recognition accorded. South Not Included All sections, except the South, are represented. Alabama, with an outstanding end in Winslett and-a great tackle In Pick hard, failed to make the grade. Os the 1925 ,team named by Rice, eight graduated, only three therefore having a chance to win the coveted honor again. They were Oosterhaan of Michigan, Hess of Ohio State, and Thayer of Pennsylvazia. Oosterbaan was the only one of the trio to repeat. Only a limited number of players have been accorded the distinction of being named for three successive years on Collier’s all-America. Oosterbaan is in line for the big chance. He already has been selected as Michigan’s 1927 captain. FIVE BOUTS Steve Harter Stages Big Fistic Show. Three ten-round bouts and two sixes will be offered local ring fans by the Washington A.

LOCAL TEAMS AWAY TO POOR START ON COURTS Tech and Manual Break Even Over Week-End —Shortridge Drops Opener—Ripple Loses Two.

Indianapolis high schools had a bad weekend on the basket ha'll courts, only two victories being chalked up by the locals. One of those was an Intracity battle Saturday night in which Tech defeated Broad Ripple, 34 to 21, at the new Armory on Pennsylvania St. Manual accounted for the other “win” on Friday night by defeating Ben Davis, 29 to 25. Saturday night, however, in the Red and White’s first home game at the south side gym Brownsburg downed Manual, 31 to 23. Both Tech and Shortridge lost their opening games of the season Friday night, Hartford City taking the measure of the Blue and White at the north side school’s gym and Tech losing a close one at Lebanon Ripple F'ares Badly Broad Ripple fared worst of all by losing two games, dropping one to Greensburg Friday night at the Ripple gym and bowing to Tech Saturday. Cathedral has not started to play yet. Its opening game Is with Oaklandon on next Friday at K. C. hall. It is rather hard to tell as yet just how strong or weak the local teams will be, as all of them except Broad Ripple played football and the

In Saturday night's game Broad Ripple gave Tech a good fight but Coach Wakefield had the east side aggregation going In fairly smooth fashion, and with Grlmsley and Thompson leading tb*> scoring, they were never In mucb dinger. Hkohrock Stars Hitchcock of Broad Ripple accounted for twelve of his team’s points with five field goals and two free throws. Broad Ripple Seconds defeated Tech Seconds, 15 to 11. ' Manual had some tough luck when Captain Rubush was injured and forced to leave the game.

New Leader of Tigers Boasts Unique Career Ru .VEX Service # DETROIT, Dec. 6.—lt Is doubtful if any major league baseball manager ever took up his duties with the varied experience that has been George Moriarty’s portion. He will manage the Tigers next. year. Moriarty, after several years of minor league ball, enjoyed ten years as a big league player. Then came a brief period as a minor league manager. Returning to the majors as an umpire, he put In ten years as a member of President Johnson’s staff of arbitrators. Breaking in with practically no experience, he, so progressed that he soon was recognized as one of the best. Having had a whirl at every phase of the game, he should be well qualified to succeed as a major league pilot. A smart player as well as keen umpire, of the aggressive type, Detroit under Moriarty’s direction should be an interesting club. Rambler Net Squad Hits Fast Pace The Indianapolis Ramblers, run-ners-up in last year’s State independent tourney, have hit their winning stride again and are out to better last year's record of thirty-one victories. To date the Ramblers have won three out of four games, their latest being a 27 to 19 victory over the Bridgeport Cardinals. The Ramblers have added Charlie i Eberg. star guard of the South Side j Turners, and with Spider Lentz, allState backguard last year, back in the line-up, are well fortified. The , rest of last year’s team is intact and ready to make a strong bid for State honors. The Ramblers will play every Tuesday night at the E. Tenth St. Community House.. Tuesday night the Ramblers will play the University Heights A. C.s and on Saturday, the Lawrence Merchants at Lawrence. On Tuesday, Dec. 21, they clash with the Thornburg-Lewis team.

NEXT BIG CONTEST ON JAN. 1 Two of Best Undefeated Teams Clash When Alabama, Stanford Meet. By Henry L Farrell m United Press Staff Corrcsvondemt NEW YORK. Dec. 6. Notre Dame’s slim victory, 13 to 12, over Southern California at Los Angeles Saturday spots the New Year’s day game at Pasadena between Alabama and Stanford as one that will give the victor the best claim to the mythical national championship/ Os all the great teams of the season—Navy, Army, Notre Dame, Michigan, Northwestern, Ohio State, Brown, Southern Methodist, Oregon Aggies—it would seem that the two best undefeated teams of the year are Stanford and Alabama. If Victory Is Decisive If the big post-season game on the Pacific coast results in a definite and convincing victory, the winner will have to be accepted as the na tional champion, even if a good argument might be advanced from An napolis that the Navy could boat either one. Stanford and Alabama look to be evenly matched —although Stanford, on account of Pop Warner, will start as the favorite. Notre Dame and Southern Cali fornia seemed even in their game Saturday. Notre Dame won because one of Knute Rockne s young “four thou sand-horsemen" kicked a goal for a point after touchdown and because Howard Jones’ young men couldn t kick the same goal. Same Old Argument And that arms the coaches with arguments for the next meeting of the football rules committee that the advantage given to an individual in the chance to kick a point that will win a game Is against football's principle of team play. Ohio State failed to tie for Western conference championship because an Ohio back failed to kick for the point after/touchdown that would have tied Michigan. But Ohio State beat Illinois by tho same margin—because an Illinois kicker couldn’t axld the point after touchdown. Seven Land in Century Class As Run Getters Thera were Just seven players In the American League that scored 100 or more runs during tho 1926 campaign. Three were members of the Yankees. They were Ruth, Gehrig and Combs. The others were Mostil, White Sox; Goslin, Senators; McManus, Browns, and Spurgeon, Cleveland. Ruth led the parade, as he has done on several other occasions. The Bamb scored 139 times. Hla team mate, Lou Gehrig, was next with 135. Mostil ranked third with 120. Then came Combs, 113; Goslin, 105; McManus. 102, and Spurgeon, 101.
