Enter Jimmy Jones of Youngstown, at the expense of Dave Shade of wlifornia, Jimmy Jones is a welterweight, « real one, able to make the stipulated weight of 142. Right now he looms up as the logical contender for the wel- terweight title, which has been care- fully preserved in camphor balls ever since Mickey Walker won it from ck Britton. ie fame has been thrust upon Jones almost overnight. His decisive defeat of Dave Shade in this city of culture and manly art, ranks as one of the biggest upsets of the year, Dave Shade, the fighter whom Champion Walker studiously avoid- ed, until the New York Boxing Com- mission became so peeved that it forfeited the welter title to Shade, as far as New York state is concern- ed, was used by Jones as a stepping stone to fame. Decisively Defeated Shade I was igasuitic enough to see the bout in which Jones was awarded the decision over Shade after 10 rounds of the fastest milling I have ever seen, While Jones did not win by the proverbial city block, his margin at the finish was so apparent that there wasn’t a dissenting voice in the im- mense crowd that packed the Arena Athletic Club, When you consider that Shade? a popular favorite in Boston and picked to win at odds of 2 to 1, was d the wrong end of the de without 2 murmur from a single fan, it is evident that Jones clearly won the battle. Over a year ago Jones met Shade at Canton, O, At that time Shade onN JONES was a national figure in the fight game because of his showing against Jack Britton. Jones was comparative- ly unknown outside of Ohio. Jones Has Improved Shade beat Jones in that meeting, which was a no-decision affair. Shade had a clean-cut margin. He was too fast and too clever for Jones, who although he tried from the start to the finish, was just a little shy of the class shown by Shade. When Shade agreed to, meet Jones at Boston, he no doubt figured the Youngstown boy would prove no more troublesome than he did that evening at Canton. Shade was treated to a real surprise. Jones has improved wonder- fully in the last year. He refused to be feinted out, refused to fall into the many traps that Shade laid, refused to be roughly handled by Shade with- out coming back with similar treat- ment, Looks Like a Champion Jones will make trouble for any welterweight in the world. Mickey Walker has more reasons to avoid him that Dave Shade. It will be igs teresting to see the attitude he takes toward the Buckeye;sensation. Jones reminds one of the style em- ployed by Dempsey. He lacks the stylish footwork of Shade, and is not nearly so finished a boxer, yet he is clever in his own peculiar way. Jones doesn’t know what it means to back up. He is always coming in, ries his guard fairly high and can hit hard with either hand. Best of all, he is game and can take it, Keep your eye on Jimmy Jones of Youngstown, 0., you are certain to hear considerably more of him later on, He looks like a champion. And he is as far as the New York commission is concerned, Bismarck . -000 100 000—1 1 Summar, Sacrifice hits, Condon. Two ie ~hits—Bernier.

Is there any penalty because the ball struck the flag stick? Jones insists that it entitles him to the hole. There is no penalty. Jones is in error in claiming the hole. Regard- less of the distance a ball is played from, there is no penalty if it strikes the flag-pole.

Little Chance of Tilden and Richards Forming U.S. Davis Team Again By Billy Evans Who will represent the United States in the Davis Cup matches, the tennis classic? Bill Tilden and Vincent Richards carried the banner last year and fail- ed to deliver. The defeat of these two great players was the outstand- ing upset of the tournament. Despite the fact that Tilden and Richards once held the championship in the national doubles, they proved no match for Gerald Patterson and Pat O'Hara Wood, the Australi cracks. In this match Wood showed to great advantage. There are some leading tennis ex- perts who are of the opinion that Richards and Tilden, despite their in- dividual prowess on the courts, do not make an ideal doubles team. Cer- tainly they failed to display cham- pionship form last year. The return to competition of Clar- | ence “Peck” Griffin, has caused the rumor to be widely circulated that he and Bill Johnston, second ranking player, would seek to win the honor of being selected to represent the United States in the Davis Cup matches, While Griffin has not played a great deal during the past two years, his recent fine work makes it seem that he has lost none of his old-time cunning. It has alway: tomary for Griffif to play with John- ston, hence the rumer_that the two would seek the Davis Cup sclection for the doubles, Sandy Wiener, the Philadelphia youngster who is a protege of Cham- pion Bill Tilden, is showing constant improvement in his play, As a ra- sult, his name is being linked with Tilden as a Davis Cup possibility in the doub The Kinsey brothers ot California, who have always gone big in .the doubles, loom up>as contenders for the honor. Then there is the team of Dick Williams and Watson Wash- burn, not forgetting Vincent Rich: ards and Francis Hunter. In several tournaments recently held Richards and Hunter have worked together well. It is affnost a certainty that Tilden and Richards will not be the selec: tion of the tennis committee as the doubles representative in the cup matches. Who will be selected how- ever, will probably be kept a secret until shortly before the event! There is a strong possibility that the committee will ask the two Bills Tilden and Johnston—to be the dou- bles battery. This combination is generally regarded as the strongest that could possibly be selected, ; er who grounded his club would the hole, while in medal play there would be a two-stroke penalty. mo | a Puzzling Plays THE PLAY Here is a play made rather un- rj usual, because the batted ball came into contact with the base runner. With rinners on second and thi and the infield drawn in, the batter hit a ball through the shortstop. It was hit so hard the fielder was mere- ly able to,slightly intercept, the ' hit. ~ The ball went through the’ short- > ball and made a ‘perfect;throw to the plate, getting the runner. by a scant margin. What about this play? Is the ball dead when it hits the base runner? Can runners advance orsbe retired on such a play? THE INTERPRETATION After the -shortstep had made a play on the ball, the fact that it struck the-runer going to third made no difference. The ball was.in play. The runner advanced at his peril. If the center fielder was able to throw him out at the plate, it wan, 8 proper stop, and after hitting the runner going from second to third, was de. fleeted’in such a way it caromed to short poner tage The ‘runner ‘cont to the pl ¢ The center ‘Beier record the!
