NEW YORK, November 14.—Among the major league cluls now seeking material with which to strengthen their 1928 teams, the Chicago Clubs are hotding out a money lure for that rare article known as a reliable pitcher. The Cubs must offer cash, for they have no fielders or batters who are oraved by other National League man- agers. The Chicago team has pitchers who would be taken quickly, but the Cubs are keeping what they have and tooking for more. . National League managers who must maneuver against the Cubs in 128 think the team needs more than ps that thought, has_the object of penly e offer of a Chicago pitcher getting in a trade. The Cubs will take a St. Louls pitcher if there-is one to &pare who s good They might even trade piteh for pitcher under ‘certain con- dition: But it will bghard to do busi- ness with St. Louis: arder than it would have been last Spring, because the Cardinals did so well in the past season with eripples that they be- lieve they have a better chance to win the pennant in 1928 than they had at the start of 1927. The Cards believe their chances are even better than Pittsburgh’s, unlgss the Pirates prove more clever than they were this year. The Cubs’ leading pitcher this year was Charley Root. Without Root the Cubs would not have been at the top of the National League pile for the menth of August. Root. has been the Chicago team's best and hardest worked pitcher for two successive seasons. If he ean go three at the same pace he is something of an iron man. There have beén pitchers who were good for 10 years, but in that period they were likely to have one season, perhaps two, in which they maintained a less ardent pace. The Cubs must depend upon the probabilities of Root next season until he has proved that he has them or hasn’t. If his star wanes, Chicago more than ever wil' need another capable pitcher to hold itself in the race. The remainder of the team is not so strong as the club’s fine pitch- ing department. Art Nelf-has heen given a contract for 1928 by the Cubs, and the veteran southpaw believes that he has over- come the temporary weakness of his arm and will be good for 15 victories next season. That would help the Cubs, but it is contingent upon the recovery of a left arm—and once a pitcher goes out temporarily with an arm ailment, especially if it is the left arm, he is never the terror to batters that he was before.

CHICAGO, November 14—Sammy Mandell, lightweight champion of the world, has finished his tour of the one- night stands and embarked upon a car paign against the top-notchers of his v-aight, who have been awaiting him for more than a year. Tomorrow night Mandell tackles Spug M of Pocatello, Idaho, slightly heavier than the lightweight champion and a hard puncher, whose 137 pounds make him ineligible for a chance at the title in the 10-round engagement at the Coliseum. Mandell has been in vigorous train- inz at his home in Rocjford and in Chicago for several weeks and has d he expeets to fight at least once a month until all the aspirants have been given a crack at his chin. Except for the Phil McGraw match in Detroit last July, Mandell has not encointered a leading' conterder for a long time, and in Myers he pits his speed and flashing left jab against a tough and hard-hitting ~foe. Man- dell's crown will not be at stake both will come in over the 135-pound limit. MUDHENS PICK CAMP. TOLEDO, Ohio, November 14 (£).— selected as the for the Toledo Teague Champions of the weld.

Entry fees have been set as fol- lows: Doubles, $7: singles, $3.50, and team, $17.50. This price includes the cost of the games. The usual tourna- ment fee is $5 for singles and other prices ranging accordingly, but direc- tors of the national body thought it better to make the charges as light as possible so that as many bowlers will De induced to enter as possible. | Cafritz team of Realtors League is the first local team to enter the Na- tional Duck Pin Bowling Congress tournament for next Spring. This team also had the honor of being the first to enter the Washington City Duck Pin Association tournament last Spring. Practically every team in Realtors League will be entered in the tournament and a special night, will be set aside for the teams representing real estate concerns. | Doubt as to whether the Washing/ ton City Duck Pin Association would conduct its annual tournament this year as usual has been heard from some quarters. Secretary Arville L. Ebersole already is making plans for the largest tournament ever held by the local organization. The local tour- nament will be held at Convention Hall after the national tournament is completed. For the first time in the history of the duck pin sport here, there are more than 100 organized leagues in ijated with the Washington City Duck Pin Association. Although definite figures are,not obtainable, it generally i3 believed that this is the largest num- ber of leagues in @hy one tity in the country. MASONIC LEAGUE. e Tt Dawson .

For, under constant training, Marty now is faster on his feet, and he not only shows this improvement in speed, but also in boxing skill. The “Pride of Fogry Bottom™ realizes that this is a big opportunity for him. He has worked hard to make the most of it, and he will go over to Baltimore to- night with one purpose, to knock out Lohman. And there is a_real possibility that he may, for although Lohman has ring experience, boxing ability and speed on the District boy, Marty has weight, yout and a terrific punch in his favor.

NEW YORK, November 14.—Sooner or later Tex Rickard will have to con tend with real opposition to hold his place as the premier promoter of box- ing contests. Just now his real rivals are Humbert Fugazy of New York and Jim Mullins of Chicago. Rickard so far holds sway. He has had the good fortune of tying up the heavyweight champion to appear un- der his banner, and this, after all, means the top. No one else but th» heavyweight champion can draw a million-dollar gate. Gene Tunney is one champion who dogs not much like Rickard's way of doing business. There is no doubt that Gene would willingly part with Rick- ard it he could. Tex has not played the game with Gene. Going back to the first Dempsey-Tunney fight. it will be recalled that Rickard made new contracts with the fighters on the eve of the fight. Tunney signed becau:e ha wanted the chance at the title. The new arrangement cost him in the neighborhood of $200,000.
