Talking It Over ; WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Feb. 11. There will be five new managers in the two big leagues this year, three in the American and two in the National. The chances ol any one of them posing for the news reel, with sound effect, as the leader of a championship team next October are not what you might call dazzling. And yet you never can tell. This is the age of modern miracles and r 7 one of these days you are likely to pick up a copy of your favorite paper and find the lead story devoted to the triumph of an obscure scientist who succeeded in making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. a a a Os course, that would be an inconspicuous achievement in comparison with a pennant-winning performance in Boston by Judge Emil Fuchs who, sensing the national passion for good clean humor, insists he will manage the Braves at any cost, plus 10 per cent.

THE JUDGE IS ONE OF THE NEW NATIONAL LEAGUE MANAGERS. BILLY SOUTH WORTH IS THE OTHER. BILLY IS GOING TO MANAGE THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS. non THE other oht the Metropolis tan "baseball writers committed their anhual minstrels and Mr. Bones and the interlucutor engaged in the following bit of gay repartee: Runes—What is an optimist? The Interlocutor—l don’t know, Mr. Bones, what is an optimist?. Mr. Bones—An optimist is a St. Louis manager who signs a two-year lease on his apartment. This shaft of wit was directed at Southworth. No St. Louis manager ever lasts more than one year. Out there they have changed managers five times in the last five years. a a a Successfully the ax has fallen on the tender necks of Branch Rickey, Rogers Hornsby, Bob O'Farrell and Bill McKechnie. Os these Hornsby wton a league pennant and a world championship. McKechnie won a league pennant and lost a world championship in four games. ana It is hard to tell just what Owner Sara Breadon expects of his managers. Houdini might have solved the problem for him. He could do anything with the “cards." nan SOUTHWORTH is taking over a ball club that has not been getting any better fast for a couple of years and as a result, an unusual situ, tion lias developed where a champ'onship team is rated no higher than fourth to start the new season. a a a THE CUBS HAVE BECOME THE WINTER BOOK FAVORITE IN THE OLD LEAGUE DUE LARGEL\ TO THE ADDITION OF ROGERS HORNSBY’S BAT. EECAUSE HORNSBY HAS ACQUIRED. OR HAD THRUST UPON HIM. THE REPUTATION OF AN INHARMONIOUS CHARACTER T HERE ARE SOME WHO FEEL HIS PRESENCE INEVITABLY WILL CREATE DISSENSION AND THAT THE CUBS WILL NOT PROSPER. MAYBE SO. JOSEPH McCarthy, the manager, has demonstrated HIS ABILITY TO CONQUER DISTURBING FORCES AND YOU CAN BET ALL THE NUTS IN BRAZIL THAT NOBODY IS GOING TO WRECK HIS BALL CLUB. a a a THE three new mana'gers in the American League are Walter Johnson at Washington, Bucky Harris at Detroit, and Lena Blackburne at Chirr go. Johnson inherits a pretty fair ball club. Buddy Meyer will help his infield and the recovery of C:ose Goslin’s throwing arm will mate his outfiffd less of a problem. a a a Harris will do more with the Tigers than George Moriarity was able to do last season, and if the recently George Uhle has one of his semi-occasional good years, the team will be nobody’s push-over. a a a BLACKBURNE WILL TAKE HIS ORDERS FROM THE FRONT OFFICE AS IS THE CUSTOM OF MODERN WHITE SOX MANAGERS. THIS WOUDN’T BE SO EMBARRASSING IF HE HAD ANYBODY ON THE TEAM TO GIVE THE ORDERS TO AFTER GETTING THEM. BUT HE HASN’T.

Michigan's Big Ten Lead at Stake Tonight Against Purple

Huge Crowd to View Big Legion Bout Wiggins and De Mave Top Off Training for Tuesday Scrap. Chuck Wiggins and Jack De Mave, heavyweight maulers, were to end their training today for the fistic feature at the Armory Tuesday night. * They are carded to travel ten rounds in the Legion main go and the event has stirred up interest to a point that promises a wild scramble for tickets. De Mave gained a win over Wiggins in St. Louis and that fact has led to a rush for seats for this second encounter between the big fellows, both of whom have met many of the best scrappers in the game. Last hard workouts were taken by the heavyweights Sunday and the Arcade gym was crowded by “ring worms” watching Chuck and Jack “puff” through the paces. Wiggins has made a desperate effort to get in shape to meet the attack of the rough Hollander and it is said the Hoosier has reduced to some extent. There will be four other scraps Tuesday, the first at 8:15, and Matchmaker Greene advises fans to be in their seats early to avoid the doorway traffic jam. Greene has arranged an attractive prelim bill.

Purdue at Northwestern. by United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 11.—The Western Conference basketball season swings into its sixth week tonight, with the first place Michigan team playing what may prove to be one of its hardest games. The Wolverines meet Northwestern, a team which finally seems to have stepped out of its early season slump, and now has the confidence it previously appeared to lack. Besides the Michigan-Northwest-ern encounter, six other games are on this week’s schedule, one of them to be played tonight and the other five Saturday. ~ The Other Games Other games on the week are Illinois at Minnesota, tonight; Wisconsin at Indiana, Chicago at lowa, Ohio State at Illinois, and Michigan at Minnesota Saturday night. Tonight, Northwestern probably will be without the services of Rut Walter, star center, but strangely enough the team has been playing in better luck without the star. Bergherm has filled in well in Walter’s place and Frank Marshall, a guard, has been very good in floor work with Bergherm and Gleischmann. Illinois Is Favorite Illinois should find little trouble adding another victory in its game with Minnesota tonight. Last Saturday night’s games went off about as expected when Illinois won from Chicago, 33-29; Indiana lost to lowa 29-27; and Michigan defeated Ohio State 34-24. The standings: W. L. Pet.| W.

Dempsey Says Good-By to Ring as He Sees Success of Florida Fight Jack to Be in Demand as Promoter Hereafter, Getty Declares; Wins Respect in Business Role.

BY FRANK GETTY, United Press Sports Writer MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 11.— The success of the Sharkey-Strib-ling fight from a financial viewpoint —a success now assured beyond any further doubt—means something of even greater importance to the world of sport, the permanent retirement of* Jack Dempsey as a fighting man. The former champion never will enter the ring again. Dempsey has made his mark as a promoter and his next job will be in that capacity for the Madison Square Garden Corporation. The amazing development of Dempsey has no parallel in the annals of sport. It is a far cry from the hobo who had his first view of the east from beneath a freight car to the energetic, polished business man who is the center of interest at Miami Beach. Until the success of the present venture was assured, the ex-cham-pion’s furture was in doubt: If he hadn’t measured up to the exacting specifications of his task here, Dempsey might have been driven back to the ring, probably to be beaten by some younger man.

Jack’s biggest fight was the one he waged to establish himself here, and he won it. Perhaps he won because he was in this fight with heart and soul, but with another than himself in mind. Tex Rickard was Jack’s inspiration. He was fighting for Tex and won for himself. To those who knew Jack Dempsey in his fighting days, when his companions were the parasites of pugilism, the spectecle of Dempsey, the pi-omoter, is a constant source of wonderment. The millionaires who are working and playing with the ex-champion here, their wives who are vying for his attendance at their social affairs, are not impressed by his former prestige in the ring. They respect anew Dempsey—not the one the crowd followed. There will be quite a little competition for Jack’s services when this Sharkey-Stribling fight is over, and the competition will be of a sort in which the promoters who want Jack to fight for them will not even figure. And so the prize ring is to lose its most colorful figure of modern times. Dempsey is going cn to bigger things.

Ray Hurtz and Shifty Calloway, local 145 pound Negro scrappers, have been matched, for an eightround semi-final to support the A1 De Rose-Kid Woods ten-rounder on Friday night’s boxing- card at Cadle tabernacle, Promoter McLemore announces. The Negro bout is being touted as a “natural.” De Rose, formerly of Newark, N. J., and * Woods, Indianapolis, are well known to ring followers here. In addition to the top scrap and the semi-final, there will be a sixrounder and two prelims. McLemore has signed Ed Trovance, Wabash, Ind., for the six-round setto, with his opponent to be named later. Trovance knocked out Kid Chissel on a recent tabernacle card.

third baseman, to Washington in exchange for Pitcher Milton Gaston, Pitcher Horace Lisenbee, Infieiders Robert Reeves and Grant Gillis and Outfielder Elliott Bigelow. The biggest deal made by the ous others culled by every known method should bolster the Sox in their efforts to get out of the cellar. Six Regular Hurlers The pitching staff looks rather shaky. Six men are counted as regulars, Ed Morris, Charley Ruffing, Jack Russell, Danny MacFayden, Pat Simmons and Milt Gaston, all right-handers. Lisenbee, a southpaw who won eight and lost six for Minneapolis, should prove to be a winner if he regains his 1927 form. Three new catchers have been added to Charley Berry and John Heving. They are Alex Gaston, former major leaguer, who batted .275 for St. Paul; Bobby Asbjornson, who batted .328 for Akron, and Eddie Connolly, who batted .279 for Pittsfield. Infield Strengthened The infield is uncertain, but the wealth of material should help to strengthen it. Phil Todt is regarded as a certainty at first. Bill Regan will have to battle with Bob Barrett and Jerry Standaert for lecond. Barrett batted .310 for Buffalo last season and Standaert batted .358 for Memphis. Wally Gerber, veteran shortstop, will have competition from Gillis, Reeves and Hal Rhyne, formerly with Pittsburgh, for his position. Rhyne batted .310 for San Francisco last season, and was purchased from the Athletics after he had been drafted. Standaert and Reeves may be shifted to third to fight it out for that place. A guess at the infield would place Todt at first, Regan at second, Rhyne or Gillis at short, and Reeves at third. Has Eight Outfielders Carrigan has eight outfielders, including last year’s regulars, Ken Williams, Ira Flagstaff, Doug Taitt and Jack Rothrock. The new men are Bill Scarritt, who batted .354 for St. Paul; Bigelow, who batted .395 for Birmingham; Otto Dumas, who batted .343 for Mobile, and George Loepp, who batted .309 for Pittsfield. Scarritt and Bigelow look like real finds. The Red Sox’s probable roster will include: Catchers—Berry, Heving and Alex Gastoil. Pitchers —Moris, MacFayden, Ruffing, Russell, Milt Gaston, Lisenbee, Bayne, Simmons, Durham, Fray. Infield—Todt at first. Regan at second. Rhyne or Gillis at short. Reeves or Standaert at third; Gerber, Barrett, reserves. Outfield—Wililams, Flagstead, Rothrock, Taitt, Scarritt, Bigelow. EVANSVILLE IS WINNER Down-State Five Annexes State Sunday School Net Title. Evansville won the third annual state Sunday school basketball tournament at Tomlinson hall Saturday night by downing Kokomo in the final game, 28 to 16.
