SPORT BRIEFS By the Assoc'ated Press. The New York Giants plan to be that in more than just a name this season. The roster of the club, re- leased today, shows that 15 men are over six feet tall. The tallest_is Howard Holland, a rookie pitcher, who is 6 feet 4 inches. George Kelly stands six-three, the remainder, mostly pitchers, range between six feet and six feet two inches. The group of women golfers who first women's golf championship tourna- nent there ,are due to arrive in New | York today on the liner Munargo, Among them are Miss Glenna Collette, twice American champion, who won the recent tournament, and Miss Helen Payson, women's champion of Maine. from Nassau, Charley Phil Rosenberg, bantam- ight champlon, is finding the task reducing to the class limit ex- tremely difficult for his title tilt with hy Graham, of Utica, N.

Gregor, representing Rogers, will take on Soccoll, repre- senting the Elmore Parlors on Main street. Both players are reported to be in fine shape for the clash. Gregor hasn't been hitting it off very well in the state competition and Soccoli has heen goink great guns. This, however, will have no bear- ing on the battle tonight as both {boys will be out to-win. It is the “belief in Gregor's camp that Soc- coli is duc to take a fall in some of the coming matches and Gregor is due to hand Soccoll one tonight. Soccoli's followers scoff at this re- port saying that after “Dom” hand- od Hanlon of Hartford, league lead- er, a trimming the other night at the Elmore, nothing can stop him now. The justice of the claims of both factions will be shown tonight when the two gladiatos of the green baizo square off. , The state tournament match be- tween Gregor and Swingle of Bris- tol has been postponed until Friday | night. In the Class B pocket hilliard tour- nament played last night at Rogers, | Dickinson defeated Teddy 75 to 51. |In the billiard tourney, Knapp de- teated Miller, 75 to 61 and Nelson beat Scar 75 to 67. FOUR HEAVYWEIGHT BOUTS PLANNED Tex Rickard Completes Details of Elimination Tourney w» York, Feb. — Tour yyweight climination matches | ithin a period of a month were the | fistic offerings Tex Rickard laid be- fore the sport nso New York to- day. Pairings now are complete for | bouts between all of the recognized |contenders for Cene Tunney’s heavy- |weight ttile, to take place in Madi- !son Square Garden between Feb. 7 and March 3. | The last match on the pretentious card was completed yesterday when |Jack Sharkey, of Boston, conqueror {of Harry Wills, came to terms for la 15 round bout with Mike M- |Tigue, in the Garde,. March 3. The |first of the string brings together | |Young Striblin; of Atlanta, Ga., and | Eddie Huftmen, of Los Angeles, for 110 rounds. On Feb. 18 Jack De- laney, of Bridgeport, Conn., cham- pion of the light heavyweights, tackles Jim Maloney of Boston, the Iheavy fisted destroyer of three for- | |eign threats already during the pres- ent indoor campaign. The Euro- pean champion, Paolino Uzcudun, of | Spain, will meet Knute Hansen, of | Wisconsin, over the ten round route on Feb. 23. "Among the winners of this series, ' Rickard expects to find materfal for two big outdoor shows in the Yankee | stadium, with the former champion, Jack Dempsey, a possible participant in one of the matches. From these | last fights will be found the challen ger to meet Tunney next September. | With the cxception of Jack De laney, who already has establishe himself as a heavyweight conten- der, the indoor serles will bring into the heavywelght prominence three men who have czmpalgn chiefly in the lighter cl. - Outstanding among these is Mike McTigue, who bowled over Paul Be:lenbach with a sur- prising display of power in the Gar- den last week. Young Stribling, ab- sent from major competition for some time, has grown into a full- fledged heavyweight, his new man- |ager, Walk Miller, told Rickard. Ed- l@ie Huffman has ranged chiefly in the light heavywelght ranks. Sharkey’s objections to a McTigue match were swept aside yesterday when the proposed bout was changed | from a 10 to a 15 round affair. The Boston hattler had previously con- sidered McTigue who scales but 170 pounds, “too small’ an opponent.

FARRELL NEME THE ONE MAN WALTER HAGEN FEARS IN THE COMING GOLF SEASON A DA?PE)RGGOLFE%F T A 8 FULL WElissy srors (BY JIMMY POWERS) New York, Feb, 3.—Keep the old ilamps peeled for Johnny Farrell this year. Ha is the one man Walter Hagen | fears. This tall, aslender, black-haired, ‘ blue-eyed Irishman with a neat per- | sonality and every shot in the kit Is just about ripe for a sweet clean- up in the big golf spasms carded | for 1927. | Where do T get' that noise? From "the Haig. himself, personal.” I asked the Big Boy who he be- licved would give him his touxhest run this year. Thought the anewer would include Macdonald Smith, Joe Turnesa, Gene Sarazen, Leo Al Watrous or Bill Mehl- | horn. Figured the dapper Quaker Ridge pro was out like the bum's toe. | “Can't see it that way at all,” says Hagen. “I fear Johnny more than any other golfer because I believe he has finally reached the stage where he can and will use the great game God gave him, “Most everybody hoped he'd come galloping through long before this. When he lagged a bit they lost their interest and even if he did come close failed to get the credit due| him. He's farther advanced right ‘now than Gene Sarazen was at the same age. “He certainly has the shots. He has a fine free swing with the wood, a crisp iron style, and there re not many better putters. “And here's another thing—each | year he's slowly and quietly forged head. All his changes have been or the better. I'd like to have a look at the year's tournament a ages just to sco It they don't bear | out my opinion.” i Well, Mr. Hagen, here's your de- sired squint at the year's averages gyjjivan’s advice after the fight and | Kutscher { dug out of the big-time tournament results: In 24 championship rounds in‘ 1926 Walter Hagen busted the ball In 30 champlonship rounds in 1926 Johnny Farrell slugged the pill for an average of 72 11-30 strokes. These figures take in only the leaders who have played 16 or more rounds in events of a major caliber. Of the eight first places in the' elght leading tournaments, Hagen and Farrell together won two apiece or as many as the rest of the pros put together. Farrell was tled for third In the U. S. open with 207; he was fifth in the Canadian open on 291; he was second in the eastern open on 284; he was first in the Shawnee open politan open on 2§8; he was first in the P. G. A. qualifying on 142, lead- Jim Barnes, Gene Sarazen and Joe Turnesa, and he was first in the Westchester open on 148. Farrell, like the rent, will be very much due this year. Bare Fist Battles !

The visitors handed the Guards a fine pasting on January 9 in Waterbury taking the game play- ed there by the score of 42 to 24 and through this victory, they gave no- tice to the locals that they would seriously threaten to break the win- ning streak of the Guafla on the home floor.

The Guards have been going at a hot pace all scason long at home and although the team hasn't met with much success on out-of-town fioors, it did break through this peculiar jinx last Sunday and beat the St. Joes of Waterbury on the Brass City floor. The team is anxious to wipe out the defeat suffered at the hands of Brooklyn in Waterbury because beat the this was the worst suifered by !.hc’ team this year. The Waterburians will bring a large number of rooters with them because they are all het up over the game. The Brooklyn A. C. team has a large home following and because the team showed 5o well against the Guards, it is favored among the Brass City rooters, to win Saturday night's tussle.
