Cruising in Sportland WITH EDDIE ASH
ACCORDING to the St. Petersburg <Fla.) Chamber of Commerce the winter tourist crop is breaking all records In the Sunshine dty, and the New .York Yankees ;tre being given assurances their pring training games there will be well attended. It’s a good bet the St. Pete commerce secretary got a hunch Joe McCarthy, new Yankee pilot, prefers California to Florida for baseball tuneups. Anyway, St. Pete boosters say they have the tatistics to prove their boast about a rush of sunshine hunters. a a a One reason, perhaps, for the influx to Florida is the desire of northerners to save on fuel and clothes during the depression. Furthermore, the average northerner becomes a light cater after hitting the hot belt and can go a long wav on a grapefruit and a couple of cookies. nan JOHN M'GRAW says the Polo Grounds clubhouse won't have a locker for Eddie Roush next year even if the veteran removes himself from the ineligible list and returns to action.

The fistic bill has merit and fight followers are urged to pack the hail. The more there, the more Yuletide baskets. It’s a worthy event and the boxers have been signed with the understanding they will supply action from bell to bell. ana As announced in The Times several days ago, Norman Perry, president of (he Indians, cast the Indianapolis vote in favor of the big league draft proposal, and similar votes by four other clubs took the American Association out of the class of belligerents.

AT the winter big league meeting in New York, three veteran pastimers released recently by Connie Mack met the Athletics’ manager for whom they had served for years and although it was a scene of “the parting of the ways” all were smiling when the photographer caught them together.

Already Cy Perkins, catcher, has signed with the Yankees, and Schang, catcher, with Detroit, Quinn, spitball hurler, is trying to make a deal for himself.

The New York athletic commission, since March when Wolgast defeated one Black Bill, has been just as insistent that the little Philadelphian was the ruler. Knowing that the country was displeased by this lack of a flyweight champion, the Garden decided to toss the tw T o boys in there together in the hope that one of them would tap out the correct answer on the other's profile.

ring a favorite** He has fought here several times during the year and the boys know what he can do, while Genaro hasn’t shown in a New York ring in two years. Also, Genaro has not had a fight since last September and sitting on the front porch all day is not the way to train for a chap like Wolgast. The Midget, judging by his fights with Black Hill and Willie La Morte, is just about everything a flyweight should be. He has stamina enough to work fifteen rounds at a pace that keeps him ever on the move. You could say he hits like lightning were it not for the fact that, unlike lightning, the Midget hits several times in the same place in nothing flat. His punches are re*markably powerful for such a little fellow, and his footwork, unlike that of most flyweights, means something and is not a series of hops and jumps that get him nowhere. Genaro, getting along in years, is not nearly as fast as Wolgast and knows it. He maintains, however, that he will more than offset his slowness afoot by harder punching. To prove that he can punch, Genaro points out that in twelve fights last year he won seven by knockouts. Earl Mastro Under Knife By United Press LOS ANGELES. Dec. 22.—Earl Mastro, Chicago boxer, was recovering today from an emergency abdominal operation performed here Sunday morning.

The fight was stopped when Domingo was helpless, and Mastro returned here, apparently in good condition. He will be out of the ring for at least three months.

New Ball Approved Tony Manero Cops Top Prize in Pasadena Open Play. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY. United Press Staff Correspondent PASADENA, Cal., Dec. 22.—The new golf ball—bigger and lighter—has the approval of the tent prominent players polled today by the United Press after they had played it in a major tournament. Although the new ball—l.6B inches in diameter and 1.55 ounces in weight—does not become official until Jan. 1, it was used in the Pasadena $4,000 open tournament which ended Sunday. The old ball was k. 62 inches in diameter and 1.62 ounces in weight. Despite the fact that scores generally were higher than was the case in the same tournament last year over the identical course, the new ball was found satisfactory by practically all the prominent players. Tony Manero, little Elmsford (N. Y.) professional won first prize of SI,OOO with a 72-hole total of 287, three strokes over par and seven strokes more than the figure Horton Smith won with in 1929. Last year fourteen players shot 290 or under, whereas this year only four were within 290. Most of the professionals agreed that the sudden change from the heavier ball to the lighter one was the main cause of the higher scores. Mortie Dutra, Long Beach, Cal., finished second with 289, followed by Herman Barron, Port Chester, N. Y„ and A1 Espinosa, Chicago, who tied for third place. Each scored 290.

Ohio Heavy Drills Here Christner Works Out for Battle With Pickerd at Armory. K. O. Christner, veteran Ohio heavyweight, who will oppose Walter Pickerd at the armory Tuesday night in the ten-round feature bout, has been pronounced one of the most colorful boxers in the ring. Possessing an iron jaw, a knockout wallop ifi either fist, and a liking for slugging it out with his opponent, he should give the youthful local youngster a real test. • The bout, which will top a fine card, including five other contests, will afford the boxing fans of the city an opportunity to see one of the best matches arranged here in a long time and at the same time* to help the unemployed and needy. All profit will go to the Christmas basket fund of the Indianapolis Elks Club. Christner * boxed four rounds at the Arcade gymnasium Sunday with Tiny iKidi Herman, a 250pound sparring partner. The bout has aroused local fans and arrangements have been made to care for the largest crowd that has passed into the Armory In a long time.

ing their triumph over Brigham Young here last rriaay, Coach Tony Hinkle’s Butler Bulldogs will face a strong foe in Loyola of Chicago here Tuesday. The Windy City quintet is expected to furnish the Blue tossers their hardest early season battle. Although Loyola lost a few stars last season, including Charles (Stretch) Murphy, regarded as one of the outstanding centers in the country, several players who participated in the Chicagoans’ triumph over Butler here last season are back in the lineup. The Bulldogs rested Saturday, but were sent through a hard workout today. Danville Normal’s vet pastimers, with the same quintet which hung up an impressive record last season, should have an easy time disposing of Illinois State Normal in Tuesday’s other feature. Other state quintets will resume their schedules next week.
ciatlon’s support was regarded as an important strategic move. The association’s capitulation was the first break in the battle. Five of the American Assocb tion’s eight clubs voted in favor of yielding to the major league proposal, under which the majors agree not to draft any player until he has had four year§ of minor league experience, and to pay a minimum price of $7,500 for each player selected. College players were excepted from the four-year rule. Thomas J. Hickey, president of the association, who announced the vote on the draft Saturday night, said two members of the league voted against the draft plan, while another club had not announced its attitude. Indianapolis voted in favor of the new draft proposal and it is believed the other clubs accepting the measure were Milwaukee, Columbus. St. Paul and Toledo. Minneapolis did not vote. Louisville and Kansas City voted against the plan, it is rumored.
