SFORTS. - Florida Bout Principals Adopt New Boxim Grind JACK, BLL PRIMING KEENLY FOR CLASH Boxers’ Efforts Overlooked as Financial Ballyhoo Commands Intérest. ' BY EDWARD J. NEIL, Associated Press Sports Writer. IAMI BEAC Fla., February 22.—Circur ces and Lhe breaks of tn: game seem to be working hand in hand to leave none but the echoes of the ballyhoo thunder for two young heavy- weights who will swap punchés in the center of Flamingo Park next Wednes- day night. In all probability there never has been another major heavyweight battle in modern fistic history where the train- ing efforts of two such principals as Boston Jack Sharkey and - Young Stribling, Georgia's slugging ‘pride, were lost so completely in the picturesque scenery of the battleground or so over- shadowed by the personalities of such figures as Jack Dempsey and Doughty Bill Carey. Certainly no other pair of fighters ever had to contend for pub- licity with such a problem as was left the Madison Sguare Garden Corpora- tion at the death of Tex Rickard. Yet the young contenders for the heavyweight mantle Gene Tunney threw aside have worked along steadily in the shadow of arguments over referees and ritles, lost amid the dogged perseverance that has built the fight from alfmost a certain failure to an assured success. And all this despite the fact that both Sharkey and Stribling promise some- thing out of ordinary for their partisans on the night of February 27. A New Sharkey. - 'The Sharkey of today is something Northern fans have not seen for more than three years. He has shaved his ‘weight down to the figure of his first commanding victories, the conquests of the Negroes George Godfrey and Harry Wills more than three years ago. The Boston sailor, burned a ruddy red by constant exposure to the sun, scaled only 187 pounds after his latest work- dut and promiseés to enter the ring under 181, his weight for the sensational knockout of Jimmy Maloney two years ‘In appearance, too, Sharkey has changed. His waist is slim and trim and movements lithe and eager, and every movement denotes absolute confi- dence in the outcom® of the battlé of the Everglades. The cockiness and braggadoccio of the man who all but knocked out Dempsey in the first round of their struggle has given way to the calmness and self-restraint that seems o _follow financial guecess in fisticuffs. hhw‘lt'.’i;tn ut‘h' rlnxml!hnhmu changed le in sevi ways, T since the knockout of Malon 5 from g 0 tedly, and sought to blast opponents the ring with right-hand punches. bolstered by heavy ts. The style was successful against psey for two rounds, but ended ith ut in the seventh. Today Sharkey is back to. the clever style of fighting, the clean, accurate, but heavy punching that wore down major o] ts. He invites sparring partners to tornér him on . Steibling Changes Style. Stribling, too, seems to have changed his style. The Georgian still dotes on close work, where the left hand is caught in a clinch with the right free o slug oyerhand to the head and un- derhand to the body, but he has dis- carded almost efitirely his famous rush- ing attack to close quarters. “W. L.” practices feinting with his head and body as he stands in the center of the ring. Holding the left hand low for hooks to the body, Strib] at the same time is free to whip right-hand counters over his partners’ leads. He seems to be placing his hopes for victory on that body punch which. has dropped low many times in training, and sharp, overhand rights to the jaw. Stribling, also is in perfect condition, though somewhat thin and fine. He scales about 183 pounds. Sharkey, who entered into a new ;umt with his manager, Johnny uckley, yesterday for one year, with the ornnn of a second, took a rest today and left the training fields entirely to Stribling.

CUBA WILL SEND MANY TO BIG MIAMI BATTLE| HAVANA, February 22 () —Cuba will send seyeral thousand fight fans to the Sharkey-Stribling heavyweight match in Miami Beach February 27. A survey of applications for tickets THE E\"ENING STAR, \i’ASHlN AION, D. C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY THE SPO «l ‘The first big heavyweight fight in the South? What about Fitchburg, Miss., around July, 18872 At T will be interesting,” says one of the younger generation, “to see how the first big heavyweight fight in the South gets by.” heavyweights by the name of John Lawrence Sullivan and Jake Kilrain fought some 75 rounds, and, according to my old friend Otto Floto, who was present, quite a bit of fighting took place. As for the first big heavyweight fight |in the South, how abcut the affair at | New Orleans in September, 1892? that date another pair faitly well | known to the public met under the | names of John L. Sullivan and James | J. Corbett. If this wasn't the most im- portant heavyweight battle ever set in motion it will do until another comes along. It failed to build up any $1,000,000 gate, but it was the most de- cisive and the most spectacular upset of them all, and is still discussed after the lapse of 37 years. James J. Corbett, who played the star role in that last encounter, will be at the ringside when Sharkey and Stribling meet in the bat- ble of the palms and pines, where the pines furnish the grandstand and the palms supply the exterior decorations. One might also mention' the clash between Fitzsimmons and Maher in Texas or the brief epic between Cor- bett and Mitchell in Jacksonville, but the first two cases will stand up well enough as evidence that heavy- weights of some prominence have met before on Southern soil. It is a far cry from Fitchburg, Miss., to Miami Beach, Fla. It is at least a far .something, apart from the merely temporal matter of 40 years. The two fighters, meaning Sullivan and Kilrain, and about 400 spectators dodged and ducked the sheriffs of two States to put on that show. They scrambled from town to town under a sun that sublet a temperature of 105 degrees, but they stuck it out until John L. and Jake finally found a quiet anchorage in the little Mississippi hamlet, and then went to work for over four hours before “the Grand Old Tub from Boston” applied the finishing assault. There will be & different set of tour- ists at Miami Beach next week. The means of transportation have changed just a bit in 42 years. In place of walking or riding horseback or seeking their way on a slow train they afe com- ing by airplane, fast motor boats, fast trains, motor cars, motor busses and by steamship. Several airships already have been chartered from Nassau on to the west coast of Florida, and the AS8Y ftriumphs over Richmond'’s man and woman Western Union bowlers. have made the local ‘Western Union duckpin teams bold. No sooner had the 10- me triumphs over the Southerners n_recorded than a_ challenge was ticked over the wire to Baltimore's rep- tesentatives of the telegraph company, and a message of acceptance came back as_swiftly. So tomorrow night the Western Union teams of Baltimore will engage the local teams at Convention Hall in initial 5-game clashes, with a like num- ber of games slated for alleys in the Maryland metropolis next month, ‘Total mn{:}l‘l’ea for 10 games will decide the mal N Fout teams will represent each city. Traffic and Commercial teams of the local Western Union Ladies’ League will meet two rival quints from Baltimore. Five high-average men of Western Union men's leagues of the two cities will clash ih another of the baftles, and Cominercial team of the local men's loop will bppose a second Monurmental City team. ‘Washington’s Western Unilon bowlers have not forgotten that their rivals from the Maryland city took their meas- ure last yeaf. A victory over the in- vaders would assure the local repre- sentatives of a tri-city championship among company teams.

There will be some difference also in the make-up of the two crowds. The 500 who chased Sullivan and Kilrain from spot to spot were composed of sports and sportsmen frcm the North | and New Orleans who would have con- lnmtmd the pursuit to Befin's Bay on 00t The gathering at Miami Beach will | be quite different from nni‘ big crowd | that ever saw a heavyweight battle. As | usual, it will have its share of million- aires from Néw York, Chicago, Boston and Palm Beach. But there will also be the Western farmer and storekeeper now baking out under a Florida sun, the Southern farmer and the Southern storekeeper from Georgia, Florida and the Carolinas; tourists from every sec- tion of the United Statés, Al Capone and a few Chicago {riénds, visitors from Cleveland, Buffalo, Kansas City and friends and followers of Jack Dempsey from California. The total ensemble ought to reach 30,000. It might go to 40,000 or even higher. Even those not warmly inter- ested in Sharkey and Stribling are in- terested to see just what the show will look like, who will be there and what it is all about. Jack Dempsey, who drew $10,000,- 000 in his day, is bounding from spot to spot after’the manner of an an- telope, working 15 hours a day. For most of the arrivals want to see Dempsey first and when several hun- dred a day feel in this mood it cuts into one’s re hours. The only detall that can keep this battle of the palms and pines from be- ing a good show is the refusal of Sharkey or Stribling to step in and fight. Both can fight when they want to and both can also gum up a show when they feel in the mood.: But they have been provided the setting for an unusual turn in the show business of the ring game as the arena of long-leaf Georgia pine continues to rise slowly in ihe general direction of a Florida sky. ‘The one who fails to hand out his share of fighting might as well take up farming or sailing after this engage- ment, for he will be dropped eonipletely from any picture that carries a frame of sliver and gold. It still remains to be seen just how much Sharkey and Stribling resemble Sullivan and Kilrain, but, at least, this is not the first heavy- weight fight set off under & Southern sun, S (Copyright, 1920.) | his chin. | and wraps a couple of brawny arms WITH THE BOWLERS of a home-and-home series..

COCHRANE INSISTS HIS TERMS BE MET Mack, on Other Hand, Says He V\{ill Not Pay Any Player More Than Offered. By the Assoclated Press. HILADELPHIA, February 22.— Mickey Cochrane, star catcher of the Philadelphia Athletics, declared today that he would not join the team at its South- ern training camp unless his térms are met by Manager Connle Mack. Cothrane is reported to have asked for $3,000 a year more to sign a néw contract to replace his three-year agree- ment which expired last Fall. “T made my demands td the Ath- letics,” Cochrane sald. “Connié Matk made his reply. I didn't accept his terms. If I go-South it will be because I won my argument. If I don’t, then Mack doesn’t accept. If I play ball, the fans can bs assured that I have been given what I asked. If not, then I didn't get it.” By the Assoclated Press. FORT MYERS, Fla, Manager Connie Mack of the Phil delphia Americans, s not wor much about holdouts, but he declares that the action of some of them are ir= ritating, to say the least. ‘Three of Mack’s squad, Mickey Coch- rane, ‘“the most valuable player in the American League”; Bill Shores and Stewart Bolen, the two last named re- turning to the big league for trials, are classed as holdouts. “I won't pay a nickel more to any- body on the club than I have offered,” the veteran manager said today, as he prepared for the Athletics’ first workout at thelr Spring training eamp -here. “We ‘pay every penny in salary that we can give. It's up to the ball player whether he wants to play for that salary. “I've had my last say. If they want to play ball, all right. I need:them all, but I'm paying the salaries and I know what I can give and they don't. The claims of some of them are so ridicu- 1ous that they are really funny.” Twenty one men, 11 veterans and 10 rookies, are at the Athletics’ camp. 6 They include 13 pitchers, 4 catchers and 4 fielders. WILSON NOW IS ONLY CUB WHD IS CAUSING WORRY CHICAGO, February 22 (#).—The second squad of the Chicago Cubs, in- cluding rs Hornsby, Kikl Cuyler, tephenson and Capt. Charlie began assembling today for the departure fot the Catalina Island train- ing camp. Hack Wilson, slugging outfielder, is the only member of the club who is causing any speculation. Wilson has not been heard from since he received his contract. President Willlam Veeck of the Cubs believes Wilson will bring the signed contract with him and depart with the others tomorrow. Danny Cahill, the staunchest Cub fan, will be honored for his loyalty by bfl“% placed in charge of the second squad. GIANT BATTERYMEN PROGRESS RAPIDLY By the Assoclated Press. BAN ANTONIO, Tex., February 22.— When the main body of New York Gianits gets here the new arrivals will find the pitchers and catchers far ahead of them in the Spring training grind. Except for one day, McGraw's bat-| terymen have been cavorting in the sunshine dally since they artived, and even the veterans are boginning to cut loose with fast ones. An _elongated youngster from the| West Texas oll fields, Olin “Hi" Haven, reported yesterday. ~Haven, hander, weighs 180 pounds and stands six feet three.

HICAGO, February 22—Com- | missioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis looks for the 1920 sea- soni to be the most interestin, and hard-fought of any since he became officially connected with base ball. Fans can be confident of plenty of excitement. At the same time, Judge Landis pointed out today that there is peace among the players both of the major leagues and of the minor leagues. Judge Landis is in sole charge of the world series and there is nothing more cntennmlng to him than to have both leagues fight down to the last minute before a championship is won. The 1929 season will begin with the major leagues more of an attraction by reason of changes in the personnel of |glon the clubs. “They cermnll’y haveé changed,” Judge Landis remarked. And he thinks that the changes have been wise. Hence the individual enthusiast may accept it as a “tip” that the éminent Commissioner is very well satisfled with any man- agerial strategy that has been displayed this year. Conditions in the minor leagues also 45.VOLT ‘8" BATTERY have a favorable outlook to him. The acific Coast League, the American As- sociation and the Internatfonal League seem to him to be in the best condi- tion sinee the war to affond high-class 2 | competition. The Pacific Coast League will return to the standard method of conducting a schedule, doing away with the divided season, which became 5o unpopular after the experiment last year. The Amer- fcan Association has produced a tip- top race in almost every season since the war, and its prospects are fully as good in 1929. The International League hias the best outlook since 1919. There is nothing dearer to the heart of Judge Landis than base ball for the boys of this eountry. He has been a stalwart advocate of the American Le- champlonship series, and its great suecess in 1928 gave him unqualified pleasure, “I would like to see every boy in the United States at some time engaged in a game of base ball,” he said, ven- turing on his fayorie topic. “There is no sport more pleasant and better for the boys. Every youth who plays the gamé improves his morale, as well as his physical condition.” Thessé battéfies are manufde. tured by oné of most reputablé manufactur Tested and guaranteed.

LAND, Calif, February 22 (P).— The Chicago Cubs have played their first game of the 1929 season. Continuing to harden the Cub pitchers and catchers, Manager Joe McCarthy yesterday ordered a game to wind up the day’s workout. Cap- tained on one side by Pat Malone and the other by “Gabby” Hartnett, the practice contest wound up with a score of 5 to 3 in favor of Malone's team. Hal Carlson, right-handed regular, pitched what approximated three in- nings. Each side was allowed six putouts per inning. Joe Bush and Art Nehf, two other veterans of the Cubs’ hurling staff, finished. Carlson appears to be coming through in great shape, and the idea was prevalent that he is getting back to his old form. The Atlanta rookie, Tom Angley, gave the audience a few thrills in the way he swung on the pellet, making several good drives. Angley held a batting average of .336 last year with Atlanta.
