PAOLINO TO MEET TOM HEENEY IN HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT FRIDAY NIGHT

Tex Rickard’s Elimination Tourney Gets Under Way Once More. Bu United Press NEW YORK, March 29.—With the removal of the boxing commission’s one-week padlock from Tex [Rickard’s front door, the heavyweight elimination tournament will Hfeik ponderously under way once resuming its business of findopponent for Gene Tunuej Up he rounds of fisticuffs Friday between Paolino tile basque r foni Hecney, champion of New Upland. victory over the Antipodean will mean much to Paolino, for it will land him right at the top of the heavyweight heap, the Basque then will be urged to meet Jack Delaney of Bridgeport, the 175-pound champion, who is being inserted once more into the quest for Tunney’s crown. For all he showed no exceptional ability in out-pointing Knute Hansen, the timorous Dane, Paolino should have little trouble in defeating Heeney. The latter is strong, but slow and awkward and has done nothing to demonstrate that he constitutes a dangerous obstacle in the wood-chopper’s path. Paolino will be an 8 to 5 favorite. He is training hard at Madame Bey’s New Jersey camp, boxing eight rounds daily with such willing workers as Blackie Miller, Bud Gorman and Martin Burke. “If I win, I want to meet Jack Dempsey next,” the Basque said. However, Tex Rickard will name Paolino’s next opponent when the time comes.

Bu United Press PORTLAND, Ore., March 29.—Slowly but surely the damp delivery boys of the baseball world are fading into history. The time is near at hand in the Pacific Coast League when a jaw full of chewing tobacco or a generous helping of "Wrlgglemint” no longer will be a pitching asset. With a departure of “Doc” Crandall, noted right-hander of Los Angeles, the list of spitball pitchers who will start the season dwindled to four. MESSENGER HURT William Penrose, 19, of 909 W.

BITTEREST OF ENEMIES NOW ON SAME BALL CLUB Connie Mack Has No Intention of Making Ty Cobb and Howard Ehmke Roommates.

Bu XU A Servlet PHILADELPHIA, March 29.—Baseball is no respecter of persons. Its constantly changing personnel often brings about decidedly unusual conditions. Four years ago Ty Cobb and Howard Ehmke parted company the bitterest of enemies. The former, as manager of the Detroit Tigers, severed relations when he traded Ehmke to the Boston Red Sox. That was in 1923. After playing in Boston for three years, Ehmke figured in another deal that sent him to the Philadelphia Athletics. Now by a most peculiar turn of the wheel, Ty Cobb, for twenty-one years a star at Detroit, has quit that club and tied up with Connie Mack at Philadelphia. Plenty of Knocking When Cobb traded Ehmke to Boston, he didn’t mince words as to his reason. He broadcast the fact that while Ehmke had enough stuff to be,one of the game's greatest pitchers, he sadly lacked courage. Ehmke took issue with Cobb as to his failure to win for Detroit, insisting Ty tried to pitch every game from center field, thereby destroying initative, aggressiveness, also ambition on the part of Ehmke. Aside from explaining that he had to look toward center field while trying to pitch to the batter, Ehmke also alleged Cobb had thrown him off his stride, destroyed his poise by insisting he resort to the use of the ‘‘bean-ball." Scare-Out Batter The “bean-ball” is a weapon of intimidation. The thought is to throw it as close as possible to some vulnerable part of the batter's anatomy, the head in particular, not to injure* simply to put fear in the heart of the batter. Ehmke, prior to his coming to Philadelphia, was very unpopular with the players on that club because he always seemed to use the “bean-ball” in a pinch. On joining the Athletics, Ehmke explained he was simply obeying orders under the threat of a heavy fine. A fist fight between the two un-

Detroit in turn released him to Ft. Worth, where he played three season before he was again bought by Detroit. Please furnish me with the age and physical dimensions of Rogers Hornsby.—E. S. T.

der the grandstand at Detroit followed these accusations on the part of Ehmke. Who really got the worst of the clash is still a matter of conjecture. More unkind words passed between the two as a result of the fistic battle and the enmity increased. When Cobb resigned as manager of the Tigers, Ehmke is alleged to have said Cobb "for years was Detroit’s greatest pennant handicap.” Cobb, on the other hand, has at at various times expressed his opinion of Ehmke and his pitching, always in uncomplimentary terms. After Cobb traded Ehmke, his greatest delight was in having the Tigers knock him from the box. This they did quite often. Ehmke not having much success against his old teammates. Asa rule Cobb led the attack. Strange happenings, such as often take place in baseball, once again brings these two bitter enemies to the same club. However, wc have the word of Connie Mack that he has no intention of making them roommates. MOUNDSMEN ARE SOLD Washington President Announces Release of Ogden and Mangum. I’ll United, Press TAMPA.
