TALKING IT OVER BY JOE WILLIAMS

MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 26.—1 t will be something ol a lewd Jest on a number of persons—including James J. Johnston—if Mr. Phil Suffering Scott should happen to win his bout with Mr. Jack Sharkey here Thursday night. A great deal of time was devoted recently to the grave problem of what should be done with the remains of Mr. Scott after he is knocked out. Surprisingly enoughplenty surprising—l should say. is the fact that Johnston, who is Mr. Scott’s American manager, appeared most solicitous about this detail. a a a Johnston spprarPi! hrt ore thf lorat hoxtnr rommiion. whirh a trplral bnxinz commission In point of poliliral shadinjrs and onr-trark-mlndodnoss. and mado what practirallv amounted to an Impassioned plea for a death sentence without reservations or modifications. a a o Operating on the beautifully humane theory thnt no manager was ever hurt m a prize fleht, Johnston demanded that Mr. Scott In the event of receiving a particularly stunning blow should be permitted to be hit another vigorous punch and still another until the gentleman in question had reached such a point of physical distress as to render him null and void for further use. 888 SPECIFICALLY, the point Johnston stressed was that the question of Mr. Scott's ability to assimilate further torture should not be a matter intrusted to the fickle judgment of the referee, but that It should be left to the noble gladiator himself. It was not very easy to follow the Johnston logic in his stand for a full and complete slaughter because in none of his previous American appearances has Mr. Scott displayed the slightest tendency to quibble over such bawdy details as a few hostilepunches to the chin. a a ft In *uch circumstances it ha* born Mr. Scott’* lustom to sink gracefully to the j—?n\ - find call it a night. The possibility • that he might perform otherwise in this i fight presumes development* of an interesting and altogether unconventional nature. tt tt tt Johnston** argument before the commission vas that there has been a great deal of betting on tins fight to the ctTcct. ■ that Mr. Scott will not last three rounds . and It 1* Tivs contention that the referee | should not he permitted to deride these important, bets on a matter of individual opinion. “If nr* fellow is going to be ; knocked out T want him to be knocked out.’* said Johnston. “I don’t want nnv j referee to come to him and tell him he has been knocked out.’* a a a IN addition to the fact that it has not been necessary for any referee to restrain Mr. Scott's fighting urge up to now. it is bewildering that Johnston should be insistent that his man be knocked into a 1 thoroughly horizontal posture before the janitor start-- sweeping up. Somehow this seems to smack of a sentimentalism and compassion that are not readily associated with the customary Johnston procedure. It may be that the steaming heat of the tropics has got to the Johnston noodle and that he is temporarily another fellow. B B B There Is s vacue possibility, of course, that he mav have been attempting merely to nettle the referee hv intimating that he would exercise undue haste in sending Mr. Srott to the corner a victim of a premature knockout in order to see that such wagers as were laid on an earlv finish would be collectable. 888 It so happens that the referee. Mr. Lon Magnolia, and Johnston do not exactly jibe and that on the instance of a previous fight, when Latzo was milling with Lomski over at Ebbets' field, a disturbance arose in which Mr. Magnolia slapped Johnston smartlv in the face before the liorifled gaze of his pals.

Four brilliant centers have battled through the season for top honors. Fehring of Columbus and Mann of Muncie are given first call. They almost are indispensable to title contending quintets. Sadler, who became eligible- late in the campaign, but in time to make a dangerous threat out of the stumbling Martinsville team, and De Jernet of Washington, whose ability is well known, are second choices.

Logansport and Perigo of Delphi are on the third squad, nosing out Casey of Marion, Lyons of Ft. Wayne Central, Pyle of Vincennes and Rowe of Newcastle. There is an abundance of good guard material this season. To Suddith of Martinsville goes the honor of the outstanding player in the state, in the opinion of the writer, and he is made captain of the first team. Lowery of Tech and Hillis, the sharpshooting backguard who has kept the Logansport Berries in the contender class, are other guards. Cavanaugh, the consistent Horace Mann captain; Crowe, stellar performer for Jefferson of Lafayette, and Linville, aggressive Shelbyville star, are on the- second team. Beck, high scorer for Columbus, is captain of the third team, with Williams, backbone of the Vincennes Alices, and Ennis of Connersville, as other guard choices. Moore of Delphi, McCracken of Washington, Van Dyke of Anderson. Shaeffer of Columbus. Shaver of Frankfort, Cottom of Wiley (Terre Haute), Traster of Muncie.

By United Peres CHICAGO, Feb. 26.—Despite his recent loss to the Vancouver (B.

The match will send a slugger against a boxer. Mandell. never a puncher, will content himself with trying to outpoint McLarnin. but Jimmy believes he can slug his way
