Meets Meyer Tonight

/ BL A V / / ■ -rs i ’ // *7

This is Joe Dundee, world’s welterweight champion, who will meet Meyer Grace, Chicago, at Tomlinson Hall tonight. The stocky little Jewish pug, who has shown here to advantage several times, is expected to be a tough customer for Dundee to handle. Four six-round prelims form the supporting card.

Shotton Gained Pilot Pointers as Rickey 9 s Sub Bu NBA Service PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 9. The appointment of Burt Shotton as manager of the Phillies to succeed “Stuffy" Mclnnis recalls the fact that the new pilot gained his first experience in directing the destinies of a big league club as Sunday manager of the St. Louis Browns. Shotton, in his day a great outfielder, played with the St. Louis Americans under Branch Rickey as manager. Rickey’s religious scruples kept him away from the ball park on Sunday and Shotton always acted in his stead. This job won for him the monicker of Sunday manager.

The Cathedral varsity aggregation consists of O’Brien, Herold and Lee, centers; Capt. J. Dugan, Mazelin, Leary, Gallagher and K. Dugan, forwards; Carr, Chesebrough, Captain Sexton and Radkovic, forwards. Joseph A. McGowan will act as

PLAYING the Fl ELD With Billie Evans

ALTER Johnson is to manage the Newark team of the year. His first baseman will be none other than the hard-hitting Jack Fournier. * On the surface there doesn’t appear to be anything about the above statement. However, if you dis-

cussed the matter with Walter Johnson he would probably tell you he much prefers having Fournier on his team than in the line-up of the position. The reason, you ask. Here it is: When Johnson was the

outstanding pitcher in the American League no batter In the organization took more liberties with his stuff than Fournier. No matter what his average was, Fournier always found the great Walter to his liking. “Fournier is the toughest batter in the American League for me to work on,” Johnson told me several, years ago. nan Perhaps that explains why i Johrfson secured Fournier for j Newark the moment he outlived his big league usefulness. nan SQUAWKS ON DECISION OLDIERS’ Field in Chicago appears to be a tough spot for the officials In charge of big sporting events that have been staged there in the past year. The latest squawk came from Morley Drury, captain of Southern California’s great football team. Drury is one of the best football players I have seen in action in yearas. It is unfortunate he had to get mixed up in the dispute over the umpire’s decision. Drury claimed Notre Dame got a long count which put Southern California on the short end of the score. Had the umpire ruled a safety on the play in question Drury’s team would have won, 8-7, instead of being defeated, 7-6. att a If the squawk did nothing else* it wised up a lot of fans to the control and possession of the ball thought, as differentiating between just a fumble or a free ball. a a a FIELD MUST BE JINX mUST a few months prior to the disputed football ruling we had the referee of the Tunney-Dempsey fight in a peck of trouble because of his manner of tolling off the seconds after Dempsey had dropped Tunney to the canvas. The motion pictures made it, bad for the ofißcial In charge of the championship bout because his method of counting over Dempsey was just the opposite to his style when Tunney was on the floor. This feature of the now much discussed battle has never been explained in detail by the referee and I have always believed it would tend to set him right if there was a satisfactory solution that he could present.

I. U. Net Squad in Tip-Top Shape for Opening Clash With Franklin Baptists Stern Foe for Crimson; Dean Whips Squad Into Condition for Saturday Fray.

Bu Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Dec. 9. Orach Everett Dean’s Indiana University basketball squad is in tiptop shape for its opening clash of the net season here Saturday night against the speedy Franklin College basketeers. Dean was somewhat handicapped at the start of the hardwood season No Disgrace to Lose to Hagen f Tumesa Asserts Joe Tumesa, whom Walter Hagen in the finals for the professional golf title, nosed out for the championship. Is a good sport. “The better player won the match and I have no alibi to offer,” was the way Tumesa expressed himself. “It wasn’t a case of the breaks deciding the match, Hagen simply played superior golf and deserved to win. Whatever breaks that came his way, he was entitled to for he made them. “You are not playing an ordinary golfer when you face Hagen, rather he is more like a machine. Mistakes do not seem to bother him in the least. When he errs, his sole thought is how he can make up the round thus lost. “No golfer needs to feel disgraced when he takes a trimming from Walter Hagen.”

with only three veterans out for the team, but from all indications he has whipped a creditable squad into good shape.

Frankie Palmo to Mix With Chicagoan in SemiWindup. O’BRIEN IN 4-ROUNDER Leach, Gary, Claims Broken Nose. The complete card for Tuesday night’s regular weekly boxing show at the Armory was announced today by Captain Clark as follows: Ten Rounds—Roy Wallace, Indianapolis, v *. Jack (Chief) Elkhart, Pueblo, Colo.; mlddlewelßhts. Eight Rounds—Frankie Palmo. Cincinnati. vs. Bill Hall, Chicago: 147 pounds. Six Rounds—Red Holloway. Indianapolis. vs. Hank Graham, Clinton; 145 pounds „ Six Rounds—Ray Olcott. Chicago, vs. Chet Warr. Indianapolis; 135 pounds. Four Rounds—Dinty O’Brien. Louisville, vs. Larry Payton. Cincinnati; 147 pounds. Captain Clark had Marshall Leach of Gary picked to meet Bill Hall of Chicago in the semi-windup, but word came from Leach Thursday night that he had broken his nose. Frankie Palmo, who takes Leach’s spot on the bill, has shown here on two former occasions. The four-round opener will give the fans another glimpse of Dinty O’Brien, the mysterious stranger from Louisville, who came here recently for what he claimed was his first fight and stopped Lew Spencer in a couple of minutes. Dinty has no manager, and makes his own ring engagements, collecting after the show and disappearing. BEST SINCE VILLA Ignacio Fernandez, Philippine featherweight, who has been going good among the topnotchers of thb country, is probably the best fighter from the islands since Pancho Villa. BRINGING HOUSE DOWN Nick Altrock and A1 Schacht, famous baseball comedians, are enjoying a successful vaudeville engagement, presenting some of theli well-known diamond antics.

1928 Won’t Be His Year Bu NBA Service f— 7ETROIT, Dec. 9.—ls prec- □ I edent. continues, Harry I Heilmann, Detroit’s hard-hitting outfielder, hasn’t a chance to lead the American League in batting in 1928. Heilman first led the American League in hitting in 1923. He failed the following year but did in 1925. After failing again in 1926, he did it this past summer. In other words, he has led the league every other year since he first topped the batters—and the campaign of 1928 is not his year!
