MUST BATTLE SEVEN ENVIOUS NINES Boards of Strategy Plan Ways and Means of Bringing Hugmen to Defeat Editor’s Note—This is a story summing up the 1928 prospects of American League baseball clubs after a first hand survey of the training camps. e ee BY BRIAN BELL Associated Sports Writer Atlanta, Ga., March 24.—@)—If threats from training camps of American League clubs are to be taken seriously, the 1928 race will ways roll and traps yawn and com- ing back with his scalp. ' | Yet the winter has heard it re. j peated many times that Jones ha: made his last runaway of the ama. jteur. This of a player who rode! through the tourney at Minneapolis! by scores of 2-up, 3 and 2, 10 and 9,/ 11 and 10 and 8 and 7. A good deal must have happened to cause any {sv _h switch in sentiment, First of all was Jones’ announce- ment that he would limit his future play to the amateur and open and | would at all times subordinate golf | to his practice of law. | Golf Suffers | It was immediately recalled that! Bobby came to Oakmont last spring with little warming up because he was then “boning” for his bar exams and that his play that week was, for him, very mediocre and without confidence. This led to the conjecture that he cannot ex- pect to retain his game at razor edge and woo Blackstone as as- siduously as he says he is going to. One or the other must suffer. Bobby declares it will be the golf which, as he says, “doesn’t buy groceries for the Joneses.” Another factor—and this may turn out to be most important—is the slow but certain rise of the group which includes Roland Mac- Kenzie, Gene Homans, Phil Finlay and a handful of others who were batting around in knee pants not so long ago, but have come to the fore rapidly within the years since Jones first ascended to the throne. MacKenzie is undoubtedly the most dangerous of the lot, especially since he seems to have outlined a definite program of practice and conditioning. Roland grew very rapidly, too fast, in fact, for his bones and muscles to keep up. As a result he hasn’t had the physique to stand tournament pressure. Early this winter, however, he went into the Pacific northwest where he worked in a lumber camp for several months in order to strengthen wrists, shoulders and, legs. Now-he is back at Brown University and has pronounced him- self fit for the summer’s mashic wars. Mac Is Good MacKenzie is one of the most! skillful shot makers among the/| amateurs. Give him the body to; back it up and there’s no limit to his_possibilities. Homans and Finlay both lasted, into the third round at Minikahda. The former disappeared at that point before Jimmy Johnston, who was on his home grounds. Finlay jumped into the semifinal, but the grizzled Francis Ouimet subdued him, 5 and 3, Both, however, were accumulating the tournament exper- ience that. will stand them in good stead in the future. Nor is Jones’ immediate future made any less thorny by the return of Jess Sweetser, who has won a game fight against illness and is find seven teams lined up against the New York Yankees, Ways and means to stop the| orld champions iu their effort to| three pennants in as many years are being discussed by boards of strategy over a far-flung battle front stretching from Florida through Louisiana to Texas. Three of the Yankees’ rivals be- jevi hey can beat the champions and need only to decide on the method. The other four are more i sted in getting into the first; ion than winning the current pennart and, while they too think the New Yorkers can be turned back, their thought for the moment seems to be “what of it.” | Huggins Remains Calm In the face of the opposition which certainly outnumbers him, Manager Miller Huggins remains calm. He will offer the same club that topped the American League in 1926 and 1927. He has added some reinforcements but the shock troops are the old first liners. The active challenge to New York supremacy B ipele) will be flung by the Philadelphia Athletics, Washington’s Senators and the Tigers of Detroit. Connie Mack, at this season of the year, seems in better position than he was able to boast of at the same time in 1927. Washington will count heavily on its revised pitching staff and the batting and base running of George Sisler. The Tigers have sent Marty Mc- Manus to third base, where his add- ed weight will make him an_ im- portant figure and the fleet Herry Rice will patrol _an outfield post. Cleveland Has Youngsters Cleveland has recruited several classes from the kindergarten of baseball and may have to wait for the members to grow up on the game before they can hope to make their presence felt. e th | BY PHILIP J. SINNOTT San Francisco, March 24.—A new welterweight sensation has come out of the California rings. He’s an Italian-born lad of 22, christened Raffale Giordano, but whose ring monicker is Young Cor- bett III. Furthermore, he’s a south- paw with an awkward style, plus + ability to box and punch —- with brains enough to know how to mix the two styles and keep an opponent baffled. For his last step into the ranks of bona fide stardom, Corbett set the boxing world on its ears by stopping Eddie Kayo a terrific left to the in the ninth round. A once stopped Joe Dundee round of fighting. “Ace” Hudkins, Nebraska Wild- cat, was a decidedly interested spec- tator at the fight. Corbett insists he’s going to tangle with Hudkins soon, “Now that I’ve taken Roberts, T am demanding a match with Hud- kins,” Corbett announces. ‘After that, I'll beat Dundee for the title.” Oh, he’s nothing if not sure of himself, this kid from the raisin fields of Fresno. But so far, he’s backed up his words by perform- ances, He battled along in small-town fights and preliminaries until a fighter injured his hand, and he went in on two days’ notice to fight Young Jack Thompson, negro flash, and hold him to a draw in ten rounds. They both grew to welterweights, with Thompson, the coast champion, ee to his marvelous boxing abil- ‘y- In a recent match, Corbett met Thompson, with the money on Thompson, to punch him full of holes Oxford-Cambridge Coeds Train For .

Sweetser was a sick man in 1926 when he won the British amateur. He collapsed before reaching home and his commanding bulk was miss- ing entirely from the 1927 picture. It is a question, of course, how spitiy Jess will be able to revive his old skill. At the peak, he must be retkoned a formidable contender for the simon pure title. (By The.

Instead, Corbett the club fighter, took the lead, outboxed and outsmarted the clever negro and won. Then came his match with Rob- erts, a deadly two-fisted hitter. And again, Corbett did the paradoxical thing by cartying on a two-fisted attack of punching that finally got Roberts. Corbett weighs in around 145, a ‘natural welter. He’s small of build, 'so0 overweight problems are likely | not to bother him. 5 ‘inches tall, and built on speedy lines. He’s 5 feet 5 1-2 He’s proven that he can assimilate punishment as well as _ dispense {punches, and he has shown knock- outs with each hand. Also, he has the ability to smother an opponent with stiff punches, then completely tie up the other fellow’s hands in the clinches. The Pacific coast expects great things from Raffale Giordano in the welter class back east, the same as fans out here bet their rolls that Jimmy McLarnin would thrill the most blase critics. These Athletes Toss Studies For a Loss Houston, Tex., March 24.—(AP)— The idea that athletics and scholar- ship do not mix is given a decided set-back at the Texas A. & M College.

Figari of Gal- is dropped—the required drinking} veston, were members of the foot- of two and a half pints of beer each | ball team which won the Southwest day plus occasional champaign. The hours of practice and even the time of the race is kept secret to keep the fair oarsmen from be- ing made objects of too great curiosity. To prevent strain upon the contestants, the crews do not row abreast in the race but go over the course separately, the win- ner being determined by judges. Conference championship last fall. J.

WINS FROM RIG BOY i |Peterson’s Second Low Blow in First Round Terminates Chicago Card Chicago, March 24.7)—A half filled Coliseum made as much noise last night as any championship gathering over the sudden termina- tion of the Big Bcy Peterson, Roberto Roberti fistic fiasco, which ended before the first round was over. Roberti, the Italian heavy- weight title claimant, was awarded the fight on a foul. After Peterson had struck one low blow the fight was halted 30 sec- onds, after which Roberti said he was ready to continue. Another below-the-belt smash was the last blow struck, the referee giving the fight to the Italian. The crowd howled its disappointment for many minutes.

Harvard Will Be Late Picking Rowing Crew Cambridge, Mass., March 24.— (AP)—It will be late in the pre- liminary practice season this year before Harvard begins picking its rowing eights. Coach Ed Brown, who has just put a hundred oarsmen to work on the Charles river, indi- cates he will follow the same policy in picking his crew this year as last. As soon as rowing conditions be- come normal he expects to cut his squad down to about four boat loads. These he will keep as evenly matched as possible, with lots of racing among the crews. The choosing of an all-star eight will be made just before the competitive season gets under way. DUTCH A to quell the thum; of i said Yesterday bat Manage Bot eit REG.U.S. PAT.
