THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1925 World Results By Leased Wire MACKMEN ASKED FOR MORE PEP GHIGAGO CUBS LEAVE FOR CAMP CHICAGO, Feb. 26.—“Pepper” and “thunder” will sup- lant the quiet of the taciturn Connie Mack, when the hiladelphia Athletics take the field this season. “Pepper” will be personified by Earl Mack, son of the veteran leader, who has been appointed field captain. The role of “thunder” has been bestowed upon the veteran Ira Thomas, one of the deepest voiced player The contrast this season should be extremely noticeable from the start. Connie Mack, whose tempcra- ment and ideas were the repressing influence when it came to whooping things up and who bellevel the game's perfection was measured by its silent smoothness, apparently has seen a new light. Hence the activity of his son Harl on the coach- ine line. On the heels of Mack's declaration came word that Thomas had been signed to assist the youth- ful captain. With the combination of young Mack and Thomas on the lines, the former prancing, cheering and playing every ball from the side ines, while Ira is bellowing and urging the A's to be “up and at 'em,” the fans will be in for a treat.

ROME SHOW You @ND WE HAVE DECIDED TO PRESENT YOU WITH @ NICE CHECIR BIG FIGHT SEASON IS SEEN BY RICKARD By HENRY L. FARRELL, NEW YORK, Feb. 26 (United Press),—After a terrific bust last summer, during which boxers fell into lean days and promoters almost went broke, Tex Rickard thinks that boxing will come in for a big boom during the coming outdoor reason?” Rickard says, “Well, the heavyweight ciass is be- coming active and whenever the big fellows are busy, interest de- velops apace in the lighter classes. Last year Jack Dempsey was idle and so was Benny Leonard, the champion of the next most attrac- tive class and the business went in- to a general slump.” Rickard’s only problem for the “body” are a tevelation to pipe smokers Back about1870, James N.Wellman developed a secret tobacco process which won instant and widespread favor. It yielded a fuller-bodied richness, mildness and fragrance which just seemed to“go"with a pipe. No one else ever ay ‘| his secret until we acquire: “Wellmaris Method’ P means made’Granger Rough Cul , ‘and by its Granger Rough Cut coming season is to make the proper choice from a dozen prospective headiine bouts—and get the fighters to fight when he makes his choice. Rickard has on his list the follow- ing bouts that he considers to be the best that could be made: Dempsey vs, Gibbons; Dempsey vs. Wills; Gibbons vs. Wills; Wills vs. Godfrey; Firpo vs. Rojas; Gibbons ys. Tunney; Gibbons vs. Renault vs. Godfrey; McTigue v Berlenbach; Walker vs. Greb; Man- dell vs. lightweight tournament win- ner and Kaplan vs. Mascart. You will notice that Rickard lists only two good bouts in the lighter class—Sammy Mandell, the out- standing lightweight contender, against the winner of the tourna- ment organized by the New York Boxing commission to find Benny Leonard's successor, and a feather- weight championship match between Edouard Mascart, French holder of the European championship. You will notice also that Tom Gibbons is rated by Rickard as about the best drawing card in the coun- try. “The nicest thing about Gib- bons, also,” he says, “is his willing- ness to accept any match that can be made for him. He fs the easiest fighter to do busine: with that I have ever dealt with, Rickard is willing to admit that several of the matches listed cannot QUESTION BOX If you have some question to ask about baseball, football, box- ing or any other amateur or pro- fessiowal sport— If you want a rule interpreted— I¢ you want to know anything aoout a play or player— Write to John B.

QUESTION—Will the art of fenc- ing ever return to its place as a minor sport? What benefits are to be derived from its practice? Who is the greatest fencer in the U. S.? ANSWER—Fencing has not been so popular in years as now, There is an intercollegiate league and many fencing clubs. Its benefits are many; it makes for physical development, quickness of eye and hand, grace of movement, etc. The national foils champion is Leo Nunes of thé New York Athletic Club, N, ¥. The college folls cham pion team is Harvard. PF eta QUESTION—Who is the smallest baseball piteher in the National League, American League and Amer- ican Association. ANSWER—Statistics of hefght and weight of players are not mat- ters of record in professional base- ball since a player may be any old size he wishes if he can make good with the manager. In addition to that the question of measurement does not enter into putting a team together, on amateur QUESTION—I am thirteen years old and am practicing to be a sprint- er. How should I train, ANSWER—Ask the physical di- rector at your school. He will Rnow your needs and will be glad to advise you. If you have none at your be made. Wills will not fight George Godfrey, the big negro from Phila- delphia, and Renault {s also afraid of him, Renault, in fact gets pale when anything but a setup is men- Ucned for him, It 1s possible, how- when some of the heavy- hts see that they can’t dictate ches and that they are ll- able to be left on the outside that they will be more reasonable. If Dempsey does not make up his mind to fight this summer, Rickard regards a Tunney-Gibbons match as the next best attraction. Tunney turned down several offers to meet Gibbons, but he seems to be in a more willing mood now, Rickard expresses _ confidence, however, that he will be able to show Dempsey in at least one fight and he is making his plans with that in mind, “I don't see how Dempsey can turn down that much money,” he said, but he went on to explain that reports saying that he would give the champion $1,500,000 for two fights were absurd. “If Dempsey ever fights again for me he'll fight on a percentage and he knows he can get plenty out of that arrangement,” he said. Paul Berlenbach, the former ama- teur wrestler, rated By Rickard higher than he stands in the light heavyweight class. He {ts one of the greatest drawing cards to be develop- ed in years and it is the old draw- ing power that gets them in at the gate. Promoters who put Berlen- bach on a card can be assured of the sale of 500 ringside seats at the New Yock Athletic club just as soon ‘as the match is announced. Serlen- bach 1s a former N. Y, A. C. athlete and it was in the club house that he got his training from Dan Hic- key, the veteran boxing instructor at the club. He has a tremendous following” among the club members. Berlenbach, of course, {s not a punk fighter. He is improving steadily and some day he may become cham- school go to some school where there is one. Even if you are not a,student there he will be glad to advise you, pion. His advancement was retard- ed when the New York Boxing com- mission insisted that he accept a match with Jack Delaney when everyone knew that he was about two years away from an opponent of Delaney’s skill. Mickey Walker is looked upon by Rickard as the best opponent for Harry Greb in a fight for the mid- dleweight championship, Walker, the welterweight champion, is not only a logical opponent for Greb, but he also has a tremendous fol- lowing in the New Jersey towns of the greater metropolitan district. Walker's partisans would fill half of the house and the neutrals would do the rest. Greb is also a good show fighter in New York, as he is one of the unusual type who draws many in the hope that they will see him beaten. This attitude of a part of the public is hard to explain be- cause Greb is a fighting champion and is a very likeable young fellow. He was accured of foul fighting in his two bouts with Gene Tunney, a popular New York fighter, and that may be the reason for it. Another interesting feature of the Rickard list is the minor place given to Luls Firpo, who was one of the promoter’s outstanding cards last summer, Firpo cut away from Ric- kard, however, and he seems to be suffering the penalty now. “Until he shows that he caf Beat Rojas—and I don't believe he can, I have no 7 for him in my plans,’ Rickard said Don’t Neglect a Cold Mothers, don't let colds get undet way; at the first cough or sniffle rub Musterole on the throat and chest. © Musterole is a pure, white ointment, made with oil of mustard, It draws out congestion, relieves soreness, does all the work of the good old-fashioned mustard plaster in a gentler way, with- out the blister.
