Schmeling's first defense will be against Walker at Miami, Fla., late in February, probably February 26. Believing he will have no especial trouble in disposing of Walker, Schme- | ling is looking ahead toward a possible | meeting with Dempsey in June, prob- ably in the Yankee Stadium here. If Dempsey is ready to attempt a comeback at that time, then Schme- ling, in the event of a victory over the old Manassa Mauler, would be ready to give Sharkey a “shot” at the title. But if Dempsey would rather wait until September, then Schmeling will wait for him. There will be no match in June and Sharkey will have to wait another year for a chance at the title he handed Max by hitting him low in their famous four-round bout in the Yankee Stadium June, 1930. Schmeling, now weighing 192 pounds, appears in excellent condition. _ TWO GAMES AT LAUREL Hoplitec Meet Sport Mart, Guards | Take on Boys’ Club. | LAUREL, Md., January 5.—Ellicott | City Hoplites will meet Sport Mart quint of Washington, and Headquafrters Company, Natlonal Guard, will face Brookland Boys Club, also of Wash- ington, in an Intercity Basket Ball League double-header tonight on the | National Guard Armory court here, | Hoplites and Sport Mart, both of which will be making thelr league [df‘bul, will open the competition; at 7:30 o'clock.

As is the ambition of every golf club, we hope some day we shall be in a position financially, and by reason of our physi- cal properties, to attract tournaments of this kind.” 1 N. SILVERMAN, one of East Po- . tomac Park’s ardent golfers, writes | to tell us of reductions in the all- | time record score for the East Potomac | Park courses. Silverman himself has scored cagle deuces on the 320-yard third and the 400-yard ninth Foles at | course F, which brings the all-time rec- | |ord for’ that course down from 22 | | strokes to 20. These deuces were made in the presence of Lee Ritter and George Williams. “I also have paid to see Dan Dillon score a two on the first hole of course D, a par four aflair,” Silverman writes. T hehole is 410 yards longs and is a hard par four affair. This brings the record for course D, whick is course C played backward, down to 21 strokes.

BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, January 5— N John J. McGraw today has decided permanently on his infield for 1932. So the New York Giants’ manager has taken a flying leap in front of the other managers of his circuit. The first baseman will be Bill Terry, the second baseman will be Hughie Critz or Fred Lind- strom, the shortstop Travis Jack- son and the third baseman John- ny Vergez. There are plenty of young men on the team who can be used as utility players. This infleld is one that can vary like the thermometer. It may be one of the best in 1932 and it may be as teetery as It has solidity at first and third base. That is more than other National League clubs have. It is as un- certain at second and shortstop as the weather, and not because its players lack skill. They bubble over with it. What they lack is stamina. Critz Thinks Arm Fit. Critz has written to McGraw that his arm seems to be fit for another season. He did the same thing when he was with Cincinnati, but ]\s arm did not hold up to promise. It went back on him. He came to New York in a trade with an arm that was tender, although he was able to play good ball with it until the power gave out completely. The afternoon in 1931 when Critz felt that he no longer could play ball up John Krider and Earl Mattingly.

Del Bissonette, who recently under- went a successful operation on his throwing arm, faces no real competi- tion at first and Walter Gilbert will return to his post at third. Capt. Glenn Wright, whose ankles | failed him last season, has announced he'll be in shape again and expects to reclaim his job at shortstop. Fresco Thompson, ailing much of last season, may lose out to Young Mickey Finn at second. Though his fast one isn't what it used to be, Dizzy Vance is expected to head the pitching staff. Watson Clark, Ray Phelps, Adolfo Luque, Lefty Hei- mach, Clyde Day, Austin Moore, Hollis Thurston, Joe Shaute and John Quinn are other veteran hurlers at Carey's disposal. Al Lopez and Ernest Lombardi will be back to divide the catching, with Val Picinich in reserve. TOLEDO CLUB SOUGHT ' BY BUSH AND CLAUER Bid for American Association Out- fit Declared Bankrupt Last Season. | 1 By the Assoclated Press. | CHICAGO, January 5.—The bank- | Tupt Toledo Club of the American As- | coclation, purchased six years ago for | $175,000, will be sold tomorrow to the highest bidder. ‘Thomas J. Hickey, president of the league, was advised today that bids were being received by the United States District Court at Toledo and Donie Bush, manager of the Chicago | White Scx last year, and W. E. Clauer, | former secretary of the Indianapolis Club, will be among the bidders, Presi- | dent Hickey understands. The Toledo Club was thrown into the | hands of receivers last season, and sev- eral efforts to sell it at a figure some- | what near the original cost failed. Bush and Clauer have attempted for | several weeks to negotiate the purchase of the Mudhens franchise, but the ne- gotiations never got beyond the conver- sation stage. so well. “I reckon,” he said in his soft voice, “that it's the end. I shore do hate Lo quit this way.” Since then he has been receiving treatment for his arm and resting it. There is no treatment that will do it more good than rest, although when an arm fades out like that it seidom comes back permanently. Lindstrom May Xmprove. Lindstrom may make a better second baseman than ever he made a third baseman, since despite all the praise heaped upon him he was not a high- class third sacker. He was not keen enough on ground balls to his right, and he was not the best judge of the fast- bounding balls that are hit down the third-base line. However, playing back of the line at second he may do much better on his right side. Jackson is one of the greatest short- stops of base ball. But he has a trick knee and, like Critz’s arm, no one knows when ghe knee will kick up didoes. If he were sound for 154 gas e would make a record in 1932 that ld make most other shortstops sit up.and take notice. > So between the risk at second and short and the solidity at first’and third the Om;m ‘wul”r;avc an’ infield that may go far in 1932, or it turn out to ge porcelain china. i | MT.
