MIDDLEVEIGHTS WAIL AT HAVING NO CHANCE TO FIGHT CHAMPION

against the Reds. His showing caused Matty to acquire him.

He was already labeled "star" when

the 1919 season came along. He helped hurl the Reds to a pennant, pitching a no-hit game among other things.

Then the elimination of the spitball hit him hard and he gradually drifted

out.

Journeying along the border a few weeks ago, Tom Mix, a motion picture actor, drove his automobile across ths river into Juarez for a glass of beer,

whackable for the simple reason he's under a ban. Jawnee agreed to fight Hankerlno Greb and then performed a ladylike

thing,

ance, the New York State Athletic

commission suspended him indefinitely and practically all the other states did likewise. That's fair enough as far as Jawnee is concerned. "But how about us?" wail Mike Gibbons, Jeff Smith, Mike McTigue, Augie Ratner, Bryan Downey, Jack Malone and other 160 pounders. "How about us? We didn't do nuthin. yet we can't win a title or get big money for fighting the champion because the commissions won't let him fight." "It's an odd situation! There you have a half dozen really zooA middies, each deserving of a pmash at the "Kink". Each has a chance to win; each certainly has strived hard enough to earn the- big money they would get for meeting Wilson. Must Fight Greb. But it can't be done. Now here's another singular feature. Wilson perhaps, will remain suv pended until he agrees to fight Greb. Chances are he won't be permitted to fight anyone else until he does meet Greb. Which places all the commissions in the position of insisting that Jawnee give the first crack at the title to the "Pittsburg Windmill." And if Greb gets the opportunity, it's likely that he will win the fight and the title. Greb will make 160 for Wilson. To scale down that low might weaken him a bit, but he figures he can beat Wilson whether he is weak or not. Should Greb win, it's likely that he may never fight as a middleweight awJn because making 160 for a tough middy may size up as too hazardous. Can you realize now why the year-after-year middleweights who aspire 1o the crown, tear their fetlocks? All commissions bar them from

minghne with Wilson. Ail commis

sions say Wilson must fight Greb first. If Wilson does, he'll probably lose, and the title then will go to a man who may store it away with his heirlooms. Ask Weight Limit Wilson passed along the news the other day that he "might fight Greb" if Greb will make 158 pounds. "How does that bozo get that way?" responded Greb. What's the 158 stuff

all about? The middleweight limit is 160 not 158. No commission in

America would stand for his insist-

ance that I make less than 160

"Just the same, if he's really serious and will guarantee me he'll 'go

through with the match, I'll make 158

for him. I can do it and do It easily

I've fought most of my fights within

the last year and a half between ro'J and 162. So 158 is soft for me.

"But I've got a hunch that the great champion, if he found I was making 158 for him, would decide that I had to make 147. Or, if he couldn't get

away with that, he'd break a thumb, or chop off an arm, or have some

other sad excuse for keeping out of

my neighborhood. "Maybe, if I agreed to make 145 for

"Si, senor, I call you 0 times, I hees like deez: Sssssss! Zat is ze way we call ze attention of a hombre in Mexico." "Wei," said Mix. "all I've got to say is that is a rotten way to call an actor."

MAY PROVIDE RULE. APPLYING WHEN TWO PITCHERS ARE USED (By Associat'l Press.) CHICAGO, April 27 Definite action to determine a process for crediting

or charging pitchers for victories or

defeats In baseball games in which

two or more pitchers go on the mound

for one club, a point now left to the discretion of the official scorer, possibly will be taken next fall, it is said in Chicago baseball circles. There now Is no specific rule covering this phase of the game. Arguments pro and con bob up frequently and baseball writers and sports editors are called upon to settle controversies. The question of crediting a pitcher came up April 25 in the American league game at St. Louis. The Browns won from Detroit, 5 to 3. Dave Danforth, St. Louis southpaw, started the game. The Tigers scored a run in the first inning. St. Louis came back in their half and scored three runs. Danforth ascended the

mound to continue hurling in the first of the second inning, but was unsteady and Kolp replaced him, with none out. Detroit failed to score during the inning but each team scored twice more before the end of the game. The official scorer named Kolp the winning pitcher. In his judgment, the St. Louis club would have been defeated had Danforth remained in the box. Some writers have suggested that a pitcher be credited with a victory only after he has worked three Innings if his club wins.

Home runs by Williams and Fletcher of the Phillies enabled them to trim the Giants in the first game of the series and pull the Giants into a tie for first place. Young and Kelly hit homers for the Giants.

Amos Strunk, the centerfielder of the White Sox, had a big field day Wednesday and it was mostly the result of his work that the Sox trimmed the Indians by a 7 to 3 score. Amos's day consisted of two times at bat, four runs, two hits, three passes and a pair of stolen bases.

Wilson, got into the ring blindfolded and with one arm tied behind me, and let him use a battle axe and razor, he might decide to fight me if he could have his own referee and use a coat of armor. But otherwise I'm a bit skeptical as to whether Jimmy wants to fight me." (Copyright 1921 By KIbs Features Syndicate, Idc. .

offered him. If he should make good on the shortfield in this game it Is expected that Manager Logan will use him on the shortfield and shift Minner to the outfield when he is not working in the box. The remainder of the lineup will remain the same as last Sunday.
