BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 12 (U. P.).—Manager James (Doc) Prothro of the Philadelphia Phillies has announced the optioning to the Pensacola club of the Florida-Georgia League of Shortstop Eddie Feinberg and Outfield-

Now then—a few words about Mr. Louis’ opponent of the 17th. He admits to 36-going-on-37-summers, but no doubt you've seen his pictures in the papers of late and share the same doubts we do. No one could get so battle-scarred in 37 vears. He joined the Marines in 1919, served four years, and when he was mustered out of service his big brother sold him on the idea of the prize ring as a career. Since then he has retired and come back again

the right side of the plugger posters always wins, Fantastic, eh? In 1915 the show-cards of the Johnson-Willard thing had Willard’s picture on the right. Dempsey’s face was likewise when he met Willard, Seven years later Tunney's was ditto at Philadelphia, Dempsey came back and couldn't lose to Jack Sharkey because of the arrangement, Schmeling thusly won from Sharkey after Tunney retired. Same was true when Sharkey beat Carnera, Braddock whipped Baer, and in the three Barney Ross-Jimmy McLarnin battles. Max Schmeling’s face adorned the right side of the posters when he belted over Louis in 19836,

Isn't It Amazing?

And now, Engle points out somewhat triumphantly, this Jack some-thing-or-other has his photo on the right side of the current posters, Isn't it amazing? But we too take much stock in symbolism, After this Jack person retired from the ring tor the fourth time he got himself a job running an elevator. Up and down he'd go, all day long, up and down, We're not much of a betting man, but we'll wager a tuppence that he reverts to type in this epic affair of the ring the night of April 17, Uncle Mike Jacobs ought to be ashamed of himself. As we understand, people are parting with good portions of their weekly pay-checks to see the movie electrician get the biggest shock of his life. Wait a minute—we've found out who this Jack something-or-other is. His name is Roper—Jack Roper. Ever hear of him?
