Playing the Field With Billy Evans

SHE toughest assignment in tlife major leagues. That is what Jack McCallister took upon his shoulders when he accepted the management of the Cleveland In-1 dians. As successor to the colorful Tris j Speaker, he has nothing to shoot at !

but the pennant 1 pole. Cleveland finished a hot sec-1 ond last season. To hotter Speaker’s showing be j must win the 1 American League championship. Jack ter has nothing; much to gain if j lie delivers, as! the fans figure lie j should.%while failure means plenty

of “razkberries.” If he should win the pennant with the team that finished runner-up to the Yanks in 1926, a majority of the fans merely will stretch, then yawn, and say: “Why shouldn’t he win with a club like Speaker, turned over to him?” Should he fail to win the pennant —worse yet, should the Indians finish lower than second—what a yell fcwill go up! P “Who told that guy he could man- i age a ball club?’’ will be the brief j manner in which his failure will be ; dismissed. When I looked the Cleveland ball j club over at Lakeland, Fla., last spring, I was far from impressed. 1 ! ’ iliked the spirit of the club, but 1 [figured it would be extremely lucky 2 to break into the first division. PITCHING IS BEST m DOPED three clubs, Washington, Philadelphia and Detroit as superior; St. Louis, Chicago and Neiw York on a par with the Indians, and only Boston as inferior. The first-named trio of clubs showed a complete reversal of form, St. Louis also, while New York j played over its head and Chicago j alone van true to form. Several things, some of them rathCr unexpected, made a pennant contender out of the Cleveland club that looked no better than a probable first division team. / The pitching on the whole was the best in the American League, featured by George tilde's sensational work. With bne pitcher stepping as did the ace of the Cleveland staff last season, it adds a feeling of confidence to the entire club. George Burns, '"playing his fourteenth season in the majors, had his greatest year, being voted the most valuable player in the American League. h, Fred Spurgeon performed brilliantly at second and seemed to make most of his base hits when they would win ball games. Joe Sewell played even better than usual at / short and there are few, if any, hia equal. NOT SO STRONG rr—l UKE SEWELL, back of the j I I bat, had a great year and 1 i upset the calculations of many of the experts, who figured him just a second stringer. Will all these players perform up to the high standard of 1926? I have my doubts in several cases. Cleveland fans mustn’t be too critical, should not expect too much, fir I seriously doubt if his ball club i*s quite as strong as the fans *bejh’eve it is.

SEMI-FINALS TO BE PLAYED TONIGHT IN AMATEUR TOURNEY

MALONEY DEFEATS DELANEY Boston Heavyweight Decisively Outpoints FrenchCanadian Star. * " , i By Henry L. Farrell, United rrcss Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 19. —Jimmy Ma- | loneyof Boston, 22, took a big jump' into the running for the world’s j heavyweight championship in the ! Garden Friday night, when he deci- j sively outpointed Jack Delaney,’ the | world's light heavyweight champion, i The referee and the two judges ; voted a unanimous opinion that Ma- ! loncy was the winner and the many j fans who had paid cflffee to $200,000 to see the fight agreed wtih a stand- j ing vote of acclamation. The Loser's Alibi After the contest Pete Reilly, De \ laney’s manager, kiaid Delaney had I broken the thumb on his right hand j In the third round.' Maloney said hei was hurt twice in j the fight. “In '(lie eighth and in j the ninth rounds, ’ he said. “I was ; badly hurt with a right uppercut to j i the jaw, but Dplaney didn’t follow j up the punch and I came back into I j him. I will say this for Delaney, he | is a very game fighter and he recovI ered more quickly than I thought he would.’’ ■ Throughout the fight Maloney, who had a weight; advantage of thirtyone and a liulf pounds, pushed Delaney all ov'jr the ring. Delaney’s vaunted right hand, punch, which had stopped nearly every fighter whom he faced, bounced off Maloney's chip four times in the fifth round and the force of the punches didn’t even, knock the Boston heavyweight off his balance. Jim’s Nose Peeled In this fifth round, the only round that could have been given to Dej laney, Maloney had the skin taken i off the bridge of his nose by a right ! hand punch. But in the corner after, the round Dan Carroll and his handlers worked on him perfectly and he came up for the next round, fresh and cool, with a little bit of adhesive over his nose. Asa result of his Victory over De- [ laney, Maloney will have to wait now for the contest between Mike McTigue and Jack Sharkey. He will meet the winner of the McTigueSharkey fight and the winner of that masch probably will get a match with Gene Tunney for the world's heavyweight championship. *The scandal about tickets, which the New York boxing commission announced Friday afternoon that they„ would investigate to the limit, was forgotten in the excitement and j the enthusiasm which followed the, termination of the bout. ACCEPTS wrigley challenge Bv United I‘rrsn LONG BEACH, ,Cal„ Feb. 19.

TIGERS’ NEW MANAGER HUNTING FOR HURLERS Moriarty Is Taking Thirty-Four Men to San Antonio — Seventeen Are Pitchers.

Bv United Press DETROIT, Feb. 19. George Moriarty, replacing Ty Cobb as manager of the Detroit Tigers, intends to return to the “hard work and much of it” system of spring training. The former American League umpire said he needed to spend but little time in selecting an opening day-line-up. “But,” he added, “what we do need is good, strong pitchers who can go the route, and we are going to try and find a few.” Moriarty is taking thirty-four men to San Antonio, Texas. Seventeen of them are pitchers. He has scheduled thirty-three games over a period of Jess than one month. This is twice the number of games Ty Cobb attempted to play last spring. . In-and-Out Twirlers Not since the day of “Wild Bill” ; Donovan, has Detroit had a dependable pitching staff. The last few years they almost Invariably have got off *to a poor start, and probably more pitchers have been sent to the showers during these games those of any other club. If there is anything to the “riding” tactics charged to Cobb, followers of .the team predict that Kenneth Holloway, “Rip” Collins and Earl Whitchill will show senj sational reversal of form, j Given a regular rest period of four j days, “Hooks” Dauss, who has a | fourteen-year winning record with the team, should have a good year. Edwin Wells and August Johns, lefthanders. Sam Gibbons, George Smith and Lil Stoner, right-handers, are other hurlers who will fight for berths.
