I sen [ Knawtas Two games played 1 Bratnard the New Britain TIndustrial league last night, were about as exciting as any games we have seen in some time. The scores were =o close and the efforts of the players to get the ball and put it through the hoop, were 8o hard that they both turn- ed out to be real scraps. 1t the Stanley Works team, with the almost perfect defense it has de. veloped, had a pair of forwards who were steady and sure shots, the Butt- makers would be among the leaders in the league.

From their own ranks the Sox have drawn @ new manager for this year, one of the seven new pilots in the major leagues, the veteran catch- er, Ray Schalk. Coming to the Sox in 1913 from Milwaukee, Schalk lcaught more than 100 games a year He is one of the few playing managers left in the big leagues, and takea the place of Eddie Collins, who went back to his original club, the Phila- delphia Athletics, when he resigned from the Sox managership. Ward, who has spent his major league career in a New York Yank- ees’ uniform, will fill the gap at sec- ond base caused by the passing of Collins, while Peck, obtained from ‘Washington, will play short. Moe Berg and Bill Hunnefield, two high- ly promising youngsters, will back up these veteran infield stars, with Bill Kamm at {“ird and Earl Sheely at first. Surplus pitchers and a catcher were traded for Ward and Peck, but the Sox still have plenty of battery strength. Schalk, ready for his 14th campaign in the major leagues, ex- pects to do lots of catching this year, in addition to running the team as manager. Buck Crouse and Harry McCurdy stand ready to relieve him behind the bat. The pitching staff, headed by five veterans, has had few additions this winter. Red Faber, Ted Lyons, Ted Blankenship,. Alphonse Thomas and George Connally are the mainstays. Blankenship‘'s brother Homer has been coaxed back for another major league tryout this spring. Bert |Cole of the coast league and Charlie Barnabee, two likely southpaws, will be taken south this sgring. The Sox outfield also is unchanged, with Bib Falk, Johnny Mostil and Bill Barrett composing the regular trio. TWO BOWLING MATCHES Hal Arnoys and Al White of New Haven to Battle Anderson and Foote at Rogers Alleys. Two feature ~owling matches will be staged Thursday night at Rogers alleys when Hal Arnoys and Al White of New Haven will roll Eddie Anderson, former state duckpin champion, and “Uncle Joe” Foote.

Each team has won from the other and tonight's play will decide the tie. The local girls are out to LANGFORD BENEFIT Best Boxers of Negro Race to Ap- pear In Tribute to Athlete Who Is Almost Blind.

VOTE FOR BARROW 0 BE PRESIDENT Ban Johnson May Be Forced Out 0fOffice on Monday New York, Jan. 19.—(P—The > York World says today that the New York club will vote for Edward G. Barrow, general secretary of the Yankees, to succeed President Ban Johnson of the American league it the latter is forced out of office by Commissioner K. M. Landis. The league club owners are scheduled to meet in Chicago next Monday with the Commissioner to discuss the Cobb-Speaker case. Balloting for the successor of Johnson, who “talked himsclf out of a $40,000-a-year job, possibly will begin Tuesday,” the paper says. Five of the eight clubs comprise a ma- jority. Mr. Barrow was president of the International league for almost ten years, retiring in 1917 to manage the Boston Red Sox, whom he pilot- ed to a pennant. He became general secretary of the Yankees in 1920, Since that time New York has won four pennants in six years, the paper points out. The Yankee official has set two records during his 31 years in hase- ball, the World says. One is that he never has made a bet on a baseball game. The paper relates that the second—his refusal to talk—explains why he would not tell the World whether he would be a candidate in the event of President Johnson's re- moval, Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 19.—(f— Today's Plain Dealer says the base- ball world is of the opinion that Ban Johnson will be ousted Monday as president of the American league. Colonel Jacob Ruppert, owner ot the New York Yankees, Rdward Barrow, business manager of the Yankees and former Red Sox mag- nate, and E. S. Barnard, president of the Cleveland club, are being dis- cussed as Johnson's succe paper adds. Bare Fist Battles Of the Prize Ring (Copyright, 1927, NEA Service, Inc.) I was reeling around the ring in Philly with a paralyzed left arm hanging by my side facing Jimmy Mitchell, a dangerous puncher, and I thought my first defeat was staring me in the face. Then the old bean began to work. 1 started talking to Mitchell, “Just because my left is shot,” T says, try- ing to muster up a grin and give him a confident look, “don’t forget I got & right here that's good enough to smack your whiskers off.” He blinked kinda surprised be- cause fighters seldom talked a lot to each other then. He'd rake me with a slzzling left and I'd act real solicit- ous and say, “Aw, gee, Jimmy, you don’t mean to tell me that's all' the punch you've got.” Well, what with talking to him and him listening I managed to en- gage his attention enough to pile up enough points to get a draw. I was| never closer to an ignominious beat- ing In all my life. I'll never forget quis of Queensbury rules to a finish, using kid gloves. I was injured in the leg shortly before the fight and had to postpone it a month and in could not do any road work and got hog fat. down to 133 pounds and the boiling softened my skin Jack Dempsey sa and wanted me and begged me forfeit. Our ring was pitehed In front of that fight. Then came my famous fight with Jem Carney, champion of England, | Dempsey and 1 talked things over |74 rounds! before the fight and we agreed that 1 had to get Carney inside of 10 rounds or I'd be beaten, T was so |weak. T started out with a rush, throwing punches all over, but Car- ney wiscly backed away. 1 smeared him and smeared him but he refused to stay down. The tenth round came and I began to fail rapidly. Suddenly that terrible feeling came my heart that 1 headed for destruction, that T was slowly getting ball the meantime forced out 1 had to boil out to get nd my hands. w my condition to ifg American Pres me of THE BUNK n scoff at the story that Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker yere the American league because of their activities in cona nection with a proposed third leagueq 1t is expected that the coming meet- between league lent Johnson, will throw con- derable light on the situation. the and Judge Landis, magnates ( PETER SCHUYLER PERFECIO) s lyroadcasfing contentment fomglzz‘,./ SOMETH!NG special on the air tonight . . . fra- grant clouds of soft, gray smoke . . . from your Peter Schuyler Perfecto.
