TERRY SETS INFIELD, OUTFIELD Ld ¥ #

ONLY ONE POSITION IN DOUBT

By Eddie Ash

~ Indianapolis

‘Times Sp

orts

ILL TERRY has named his New York Giants’ infield and outfield starters with just.one position in doubt— second base. . . . In the pasture will be Moore in left, Demaree in center and Ott in right. On the infield Bonura at first, Whitehead at second, Llyatt at third and Jurges at short. . . . That's shaking

‘em up.

Whitehead was out of action last year on account of

a breakdown. . .. The latest report on Burgess is that he has recovered and Terry is accepting the club’s medico’s word for it. : f Infielders Lou Chiozza and Alex Kampouris will be the utility infielders and Johnny McCarthy will be Bonura’s stand-in at first base. , 5 = » ” ” ” ” RESCO THOMPSON, who managed the Birmingham ~ Barons last season, says. the Boston Bees have come up with a pretty fair ballplayer‘in infielder Heinie Majeskie,

-# purchased from Indianapolis. . . . Fresco says Heinie is

little and not too good as an infielder but has power, which the Bees need in a large way. The Hoosiers bought Majeskie late in the summer from the Barons but he never donned a Tribe uniform... . President Leo Miller was tipped off that several big league clubs were going to claim the pastimer in the draft and he got busy and obtained a good price for him from Bob Quinn, boss man of the Bee Hive. : : ” 2 8 ” L EN years ago, 1928, 1929, Tony Lazzeri and Leo Durocher were ; teammates on the New York Yankees. . . , Now they are reunited in Brooklyn, the latter the manager, the former a candidate for the second base post. . The fact that Zeke Bonura is of Italian parentage probably had something to do with Bill Terry's desire to get the first sacker for the Giants ; Bill knows his ball club needs someone to counteract the Joe DiMaggio furore at Yankee Stadium. ... And not to be caught looking out the window, Brooklyn snatched Lazzeri. . . . The Italian trade is worth something in New York. x ” ” ” 8 ” n

Cone MACK, in his 54th year in baseball, will take 40 players South in the spring, split them into two squads and barnstorm North, arranging both schedules himself. . . .

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—Utter strangers in the matter of past common opponents, Tommy Farr.and Lou Nova close in on their 15-round contest tomorrow night at Madison Square Garden with only one aim shared by both ta get into the big money. Idle for the last nine months, Farr has had %o cut into the cash he earned in this country in his three fights and many exhibitions following his survival of 15 rounds with Joe Louis. Nova is at i tom of the financial ladder and intensely eager to hop upstairs. It’s interesting how diverse their paths have been. They've never

fought the same man, they've campaigned far apart, and they've fol‘lowed widely differant styles of fighting. Farr is a crouchifg mauler

and. Nova a stand-up, pick-’em-off boxer.

“ Birth dates reveal Tommy only a year older than Lou, 24 to 23, put in experience Farr has the American beaten by six or seven years. A mine hoy at 14 and a “booth” boxer at 16, the Welsh fighter grew up in the ring. He started as a welterweight and today is above “four teen-stone,” as the British say. ; : - a 2 =» 2 = ARR has had three times as many bouts as Nova. The aggregate F total of rounds engaged in shows a big edge in his favor, since his record includes 22 15-rounders to none for Lou.

Farr's career in capsule rorm—T74 fights in all, 19 won by knock-

outs: 35 taken by decision; 13 lost by decision, seven which ended in draw decisions. Nova's—25 fights, three knockouts; seven decision vice tories, one decision loss, four draws. : But during Farr’s inactivity Nova made most of his progress. He fought seven times, scoring four knockouts, getting one draw and losing a start. Against three major opponents, Lou dropped a 10-round decision to the inexplicable Maxie Rosenbloom, with the erratic Bob Pastor over the same distance and stopped the _ futile Gunnar Barlund in sevén rounds at the Garden two months ago.
