PETROLLE HAS LAUGH one Petrolle, over in Duluth, must have smiled grimly this morn- ing when he read that the best Sammy Mandell, world’s lightweight champion, could do with Eddie “Kid” Wagner in a 10-round fight in Detroit last night was earn an “out- point” decision. It was just three years ago that Billy knocked out the Philadelphia Kid. Wagner was hailed at that time as the logical contender for the world’s diadem. After that fight, Wagner faded from the picture while the name of Billy Petrolle was bally- hooed around the fistic world. During the past year Wagner has staging a comeback. He is still one of the best lightweights in the Fare but he still is not as good as Billy Petrolle. Is it any wonder that Bill would smile o see the uaker City lad stay 10 rounds with the champ? Bill claims that he has lost his rabbit’s foot. Twice in the past month he has had scraps with Spug Myers scheduled for Mineapolis. The first bout went by the boards when Myers was laid low by the flu. Tho A 4 se last time Spug is reported to have edi10 hours, 26 minutes and 10 sec- onds, developed anemia. Jack Hurley, Bill’s manager, has 1 come restless and tired of waiting for fights in the Twin Cities that fall through at the last minute. Now he is laying plans for that long de- layed campaign in eastern rings. Jack stated in the Zenith City the other day that Detroit and Cleveland would next see, Bill in action. ° WALLACE IN NEBRASKA Irving “Speed” Wallace is eating up the miles between Perryton, ‘exas, and Bismarck, according to word received today from his man- ager, H.

RENEGAR (Asscciated Press Sports Writer) ‘Tuscaloosa, Ala., April 18.—@)— Good old-fashioned heads-up base- ball rather than any particular coaching tem is regarded here as the s Alabama's phenomenal success in sending diamond stars almost di- rectly trom the campus to the major league show. The jump from college to the American and National Leagues, usually considered in the realm of near-fairy tales, has become such a habit on the Alabama campus that the most rabid fan at the institu- tion has difficulty recalling all the big-time players who matriculated here and landed with Cleveland, the Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Browns. New York Giants and other clubs within a few years. The proof that no individual sys- tem has -nade Alabama players above average is the fact that stu dents from the Crimson Tide teams have continued developing into well known professional players under several coaches. Pratt Was First Del Pratt, second baseman, was caloosans sent to the majors. He went up more years ago than the average fan can recall and’ stayed until some six or seven yers ago. Since then, Riggs Stephenson, Joe Sewell, Luke Sewell, Ike Boone, Dan Boone, Sam Hinton, Lena Styles, Ernie Wingard, Tommy Sewell, Andy Cohen and others have followed more or less in his footsteps for a time at least. Now Grant Gillis, shortstop, and Emile Barnes, outfielder, are making a spirited bid for regular berths with the Washington Senators. Stephenson and the Sewells grad- uated to major league ranks under the coaching of Xen Scott, late Cleveland sports editor, who, was| head football and baseball coach at} Alabama until illness, which later! caused his death, forced him to re- tire. Cohen is a product of Wallace Wade, who is still head coach here but has turned the reins of baseball tutelage over to Sam Hinton. Always On Top The Tuscaloosa teams each year figure in the Dixie collegiate title chase, frequently finishing either at the top or near it. ‘A series lost to Georgia Tech last spring probably deprived Alabama of the conference title which went to Alabama Poly- technic Intsitute of Auburn. As for the prospects this season, Hinton is faced with the task of filling five vacancies of graduates who will be seen in professional baseball this summer. Ray Pepper, one of last season’s graduates, is now owned by the St? Louis Cardi- nals while Sidney Cohen, of the 1927 nine, is with the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League. Jack Hayes, shortstop of the late Crimsons has been competing with Bobby Reeves and Gillis for the Senator shortstop berth with the triangle scrap one of the most in- one of the first great stars the Tus-} a 1.16 BISMARCK TRIBUNB WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1928 . 1 { paign Week Old |!

Leading the pack is Walter Hagen, twice winner of the title. With him are Wild Bill Melhorn, Tommy Armour and Gene Sarazen. Only a short time ago Sarazen announced he would not join the invasion of England this year, qs it would necessitate reshafting his clubs to comply with the royal and ancient rules. But the stocky play- er has had the best winter season since he reached the heights in 1922 and 1923 and his recent low scores have caused him to change | his mind. (By The Associated Press) Three pitchers of the holdout variety in the big leagues were still keeping their distance from their respective clubs today although the campaign is already a week old. An effort by President McDiar- mid of Cincinnati to smoothen out the wrinkles of a dispute with Pete Donohue in a conference yesterday was unsuccessful. Donohue said he was returning to his Texas home while McDiarmid wished him the best of luck.

The other prodigal, Vic Aldridge, has ignored the call of the New, York Giants and it begins to look like Pilot McGraw took the worst of the deal which sent Burleigh Grimes to Pittsburgh in. return for the current holdout. Cubs Beat Cards The Chicago Cubs had to go 10 innings yesterday to break the magic of the great Alexander for a3 to 2 verdict over St. Louis. Percy Lee Jones held the Cardinals tucky Derby. His price, 6 to 1, is considered unusually short and re- fiects the high hopes placed in him. Mrs. Hertz bought him from. Willis Sharpe Killmer last year for $12,000 and he became the acknowledged two-year-old-champion. He lost two of his most important races. He was beaten in the Futuriy at Belmont Park by his stablemate, Anita Peabody, but Jockey Garner admitted later the defeat was the result of ® mistake he made near the finish. In the Pimlico Futurity he had the race at his command until he was fouled by Bateau, for which Earle Sande had his license revoked. He won $56,030 for the season. Senators Beat Blues After 25 Innings of: Brilliant Field Play (By The Associated Press) It took 25 innings to do it, but champion, and Miss Penelope An- derson of Richmond, Va., who is to play in team matches with the Berkeley girl. Helen will take part in the French championships, in the Wightman cup matches in En~land and in the British women’s singles and doubles championships at Wimbledon, in which she. will defend the title she won there last year. GHTS rf 1G i After having been out of the racii game for more than 10 years, C. K. Billings returns to thoroughbred racing this season. Doc Tanner, who trained the Billings light har- ness stable in the days of Dil- lon, Uhlan and The Harvester, will have charge of the new stable, which probably will make its first appearance at Saratoga.

NATIONAL LEAGUE R H Annapolis, Md., April 18—()— With eight new junior national box- ing champions crowned in the A. A. U. title bouts in Detroit, it is well to pause and look over the possible American Olympic team ta!ent who will make a drive for tte senior chacuplopshina in Bosten late this month, The winner and runner-up of the championships in the Hut city will likely be the nucleus of tie team which will sail for Amsterdan, in July to battle the cream of mitt- men from virtually every nation in| uj the world. Each new Olympic brings new names and faces to the list of con- tenders, and although there were several hitherto unknown sters who rom) off with honors in the Detroit title bouts, they measure up and in some instances look better than the Olympic hope- fuls who have gone before chem.
