S Ballyhoo SHIRES CONFIDENT OF QUICK TRIUNPH Trafton, However, Despite Black Eye, Avers He’ll Cut Art Down. BY WILLIAM WEEKS. Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, December 16.—Charles Arthur (the great) Shires and George (supergreat) Trafton will say it with gloves tonight. After a week of bandying conversation—liberally sprinkled with personal pronouns—=Shires, the fighting base ball player, and Trafton, the bat- tling foot bail player, will wallop each | other for five rounds or less on Pro- | moter Jim Mullen's card at the White City Arena. “Just a stepping stone to bouts with the best of them,” was Shires' pre-fight statement. | “Shires' fight career will end tonight ~—suddenly,” Trafton said. It will be Shires’ second fight for profit, and his aim Is to score his sec- ond consecutive knockout victory. Shy | Arthur also expects it to serve as a | tune-up bout for his world series battle with Hack Wilson, slugging Chicago Cub | outfielder—if the project does not col- | lapse, as it threatens to do. Trafton Has Black Eye. Trafton, who will have a 40-pound weight advantage, will be making his initial venture as a money-seeking heavyweight boxer under a serious handicap. The handicap is a black eve, suffered yesterday during the Chi- cago Bears' final game of the season against Bennie Friedman's New York Giants. Trafton tackled Tony Plansky, Giant halfback ace, and came up with the dark optic. ‘The 225-pound gridiron star was wor- ried, fearing his public would believe Shires was responsible for the black eye, S0 _he made a formal announce- ment that he had a black eye before ever entering the ring with the White Sox_first baseman. “The only reason this Trafton won't have two black eyes when the fight is over will be because I will locate his chin before I get a chance to work on the good eye,” Arthur sald. ‘There still was hope that Hack Wil- son would leave his West Virginia moun- tains to meet Shires in the ring, but it grew more remote today. Hack was in- clined to call off the chance to pick up $15,000 and $1,000 for training expenses because of opposition by the Cub man- agement. The Dempsey of the dugouts said he would make his decision within 24 hours, but indicated he would_ accede to the wishes of his wife and Willlam L. Veeck, president of the Cubs. “I hate to pass up that $15,000 for 15 minutes in the ring,” Wilson said in a telephone conversation from his home at Martinsburg, W. Va. “That's almost as much as I will make playing base ball all Summer.” Mr. Veeck would say nothing other than to reiterate: “We don't want Wil- son fighting.” Another capacity crowd was anticl- pated at White City, which would be an attendance of about 5,000 spectators and receipts of approximately $13,000. Shires will receive 20 per cent of the gate, while Trafton has a flat guarantee of $1,000.

HORGAN-BASS TILT ' HEADS FISTIC CARD | ;Junior Lightweight Will De- fend Title Ninth Time in Scrap Friday. By ths Associated Press. EW YORK, December 16.—Tod Morgan, possibly most willing | of all champions to place his | title at stake, will give Benny | Bass of Philadelphia a shot at | the junior lightweight championship in | Madison Square Garden this week. Morgan on Friday night will be de- fending the title he won from Mike Ballerino for the ninth time when he faces Bass over the 15-round champion- ship route. Possessed of little or 10 punch, Morgan nevertheless has beaten back every challenge by means of his great boxing skill. Bass is a puncher, one of the most deadly in the business.

C redeemed themselves for their setback at the hands of Ar- cadia, by handing King Pin a three- game trouncing in a postponed match, then copped the odd game from Lucky Strike to make it five®out of six for the week. As a result, they ate leading the league with a comfortable margin over John Blick and Arcadia. The John Blick girls dropped one to Pet- worth, while Arcadia swept its set with Bill Wood's outfit, leaving the two quints deadlocked for the runner-up position. Individual honors for the week were shared by Millie Russell of King Pin and Irene Scott of Meyer Davis. Each of these fair maple shooters totaled 346. Millie’s counts were 110, 119 and 117, while Irene shot 108, 110 and 128, King Pin took all three from Temple and Meyer Davis handed the same dose to Silver Spring. Betty Dugan starred Temple, getting a 314 set, with a 122 in her first effort. Helena Kohler registered a sparkling 341, rolling with Lucky Strike against Recreation. Her counts were 120, 125 and 96. Despite her efforts, Recreation copped the odd game, Catherine Quig- ley helping with 317, while Anna Mc- Cormack got in a timely 122 in the first tilt. Elsie Pischer featured for Arcadia in .ts three-game win over Bill Wood. Elsie shot 331, a count of 126 in her second effort, coupled with Lorraine Gulli’s 115, giving the team its second win, while a 119 by Florence Sabean and Irene Mischou’s 118 in the final clash enabled Arcadia to make it three straight. Pauline Ford shot the best game of the week when she crashed the maples for 136 in her first effort with King Pin against Recreation. Other high spots of the match were Ann Mor- rison's 323, with high game at 118; Rena Levy, with 321, and 311 by Cath- erine Quigley.

His 372 set topped Joe Mulroe 1 pin as Temple's leading pin getter against Hyattsville. Both teams were off to a slow start, but the match warmed up in the second and the third was a whang.

I used to bowl a lot dur- ing the day and would be pretty tired when going on with a team at night. I wouldn't feel like bowling and got no real enjoyment out of the league match. It was work. “But now I roll only twice a week, one match with Convention Hall in the District League and one with Service Cafeteria in the National Capital. I get a real kick out of both. I'm fresh and strong and the ball has a zip on it Then, too, I'm not bothered ness, as I was several seasons His Diet Another’s Poison. “However, don't get the impression that I recommend for all bowlers that they lay off practice. If some of ‘em did, and I mean the good ones, they'd get nowhere, Most of the dub bowlers are dubs merely because they don’t practice.” Except for a few special matches and tournaments, Morgan intends to confine his bowling to the two leagues for the remainder of the season.

BY R. D. THOMAS. F all bowlers had the same experience as Red Morgan, apparently the best league performer in Washington this season, many a duckpin plant would go bankrupt. Morgan is likely to set an all-time record for average in the District League, having 123 and a fraction at this time, which is 3 points above the high mark, and although this pace is considered re- hold it to the end. The red-head ascribes his new success—three years ago he was thought washed out as a star—to a lack of practice. He has rolled only two practice games all season. “I used to have trouble with my legs. T'd get along nicely for one game and ‘rerhnp! two but in the third invariably my pins would give out. I’ get a sort of cramp in one next Saturday midnight, with competi- tion to start December 26. In the near future he and Georgle Friend will pair against Sam Benson, the Georgetown Recreation ace, and Harold . Hodges, holder of the season’s league set record—442—in a series at the Georgetown alley, with a return engagement at the Northeast Temple. If Morgan gets through the entire District League schedule with an av- erage of 123 he will be hailed, no doubt, as greatest league bowler in duck- pin history. But he has several prece- dents to annoy him. Ever so often a comet has flashed in the District League only to fade quickly to a dull glow when he ran into a set or two. Jack Whalen was among those who nad this experience. Two miserable sets pre- vented him from establishing a record. However, none of the past has ever held for this long the pace of Morgan. The law of averages that de- crees a poor exhibition once in a while for every star appeared to have over- taken Morgan one night at the Pet- worth alley. His first two games were below 100, but his final was 160.
