To- night-the colored team meets the Mohawks of Holyoke in the Paper City, _The roller hockey’game at the Stanley Arena tonight brings to light a peculiar situation in the American league, The two teams 4hat ended up the first round of the league in second last and last places, will battle tonight in the new round for first place. New Britain and Wallingford are tied for first honors in the league and one or the other must be beaten tonight. w Dritain has won two games and lost none while Wallingford has won one and lost none, leaving both with a ‘percentage of 1.000 in their first games, New Britain cannot afford ‘to take chances with the former tail enders tcnight and for this reason the players are all set for a terrific bat- tle.

Arnold Statz, basehall player, showed that he also is proficient as a golfer with 145 strokes for the 36 holes, to rank | among the first ten. The field num- | bered in the neighborhood of 300. | The twenty-five exempt from qualifying included Armour, national open champion; Cruickshank, who will defend the Los Angeles open title; MacDonald Smith, New York | stylist, who swept home in front of the Palos Verdes field last Sunday; “Lighthorse” Harry Cooper and Wil lie Hunter, wearing for the second successive year the California open crown. Eighteen holes of play will get the journament under way tomorrow. The same number will sational hitter, will cavert in center and is expected to be greater than ever. Millar will be in left, but right field is a toss-up between Bevo Le- bourveau, bought from Toledo and Walter French, former Army star. With the exception of Miller, it is a youthful group of fly chasers. ‘The catching staff is experienced, being made up of Mickey Cochrane, Cy Perkins and Jimmy Fox, who has just turned 20 but has been with the Athletjcs three years. The pitching problem, which was the chief source of worry among the A's last season, has been somewhat relieved by the purchase of Ossle Orwall, Milwaukee's combination southpaw hurler and.outfielder:. Joo Bush, a veteran of five major league clubs, has also been taken on. The veteran slingers are Jack Quinn, Howard Ehmke and Edwin Rommell, right handers and Rube Walberg and Left Grove, southpaws. HAGEN WITHDRAWS FROM ROCHESTER CLUB DEAL Professional Golfer Unable To Raisc $40,000 For Purchase of Baseball Team New York, Jan. 5 (UP)—Walter en, professional golfer, has re- tired from the fleld of professional baseball and it may be a costly re- tirement, Recently Hagon announced that he with backers would take over the Rochester club of the International league. John Ganzel, well known Dbaseball manager, was interested with Hagen. Hagen is understood to have invested $25,000 in the franchise, . 8ince then, however, Hagen has been unable to raisc $40,000 addi- tional necessary for the franchise and President John Conway Toole of the league announced at a meeting VANKS PLANNING “FOR THE FUTURE Purchase of Crack Keystone Combination Is Announced New York, Jan. § UP—The New York Yankees are looking to the future when some of the cogs in the machine that ran roughshod over the rest of the American league last summer beceme a bit rusty. Replacements were added yester- day when announcement was made of the purchase for 1929 delivery of the crack Keystone combination of Lyn Lary and Jimmy Reess of tie | Oakland Pacific Coastd league cluo. Unofficially it was understood that these two youngsters will cost the Yankees $150,000 in cash and play- ers. That sum would represent a record outlay by the Yankees for any one deal. The $135,000 they handed the Boston Red Sox for Babe Ruth was the previous high water mark. Just how the two Coast league stars were to fit into the lineup, was puzzling Yankee baseball followers. Shortstop Mark Koenig and Second Baseman Tony Lazzeri now do what is to be done around the keystone sack just about as well as any pair in the big leagues. In addition both |are young and should show no signs of slowing down for some years. Dugan, who grows no younger, is the one doubtful member of the Yankees' infield and another year may see Miller Huggins confronted with the problem of filling & hole at third base. Reese or Lary, or both, may break into the lineup if such a situation develops. Reese, who is 22, set a new Coast league fielding record for second basemen last year when he accepted Q/lnn'ounoing; ‘ ke VICTORY S BY DODGE BROTHERS.- The Victory un;!}auy new, radi Strong and Stable diamud:hmgh!yofisi“.'—:‘?‘y‘ Beauscat{:cbauhl:':m flmmdmm“m! ciselywithd:ebodyl.iuo-‘ndh: features. :lfozr:m;lovcenu)r&m' (weight to the Vi is ek 0 swaying are to s point msfi'cibh!

DELIVERS TIRADE AGAINST DEMPSEY Illinois Comnission Chairman Explains “Long Count” Chicago, Jan. § (P—A tirade against Jack Dempsey for “unethi- cal” boxing methods was made last night by Paul Prehn, chairman of the Illinois boxing commission under whose regulations Dempscy sought unsuccesstully eptember to win back the heavyweight title he lost to Gene Tunney. Dempsey, said Prehn, addressing the Jllinois , Socicty of Engineers, *“does not know the true meaning of sportsmanship.” He has been known throughout boxing circles for years, Prehn said, as “one of the trickiest fighters.” In Prehn's opinion, Dempsey did not win his fight with Jack Sharkey. harkey was licking him,” Prehn said, “and Dempsey had repeatedly fouled him. Sharkey was never out when he went down, nor was Tunney out when he went down in that seventh round at Roldier Field.” The commission chairman explain- ed the “long count” when a request was made fron the audience of en- gineers for whom Prehn had been presenting a program of boxing and wrestling bouts. “After the official count of three, Tunney could have gotten up,” Prehn said. *“At six or seven he was wide awake. If Dempsey had been allowed to remain in the near cor- ner he would have attempted to hit Tunney as he came off the floor, just as he has done in bouts with Firpo and others. He got away with it be- fore, and thought he could get away with it again.

Mr. Mack, beginning the 28th year of his reign as manager of the Ath- rican league | race in 1928 and figures every club, | including his own, has made great | strides in strengthening its team. The Athletics made two trades bringing Outficlder Bing Miller back to Philadelphia and adding Ossie Orwall, Milwaukee phenom. without apparently detracting from strength, Not only doés Mack believe the Athletics will be stronger from a playing standpoint next season, but he figures Washington, with young pitchers and stronger than ever. as one of the most dangerous teams in the circuit. Also, he has considera- ble respect for the pitching prowess | of the Chicago White Sox. | With a slight remodelcd baseball | machine, the Athletics will enter the 1928 American league pennant race | with their hopes wrapped up in youth.

WALLINGFORD VS, EW BRITAIN 'SHARKEY FOR FUND FOR AGED FIGHTERS Would Have Five Per Cent of Gate Recsipts Reserved Boston. Jan. 5 M—Jack Bharkey, heavywelght contender who is to meet Tom Heeney in New York next week, thinks it would be a good idea it Tex Rickard and other promoters of championship bouts, were to set aside five per cent of title gates for a fund for aged fightera. And Jack is ready to have a start made when he meets Gene Tunney. “I have been thinking of the poor fighters who pass away in poverty,” he gave a sparring 'What & finish some of them have had. I propose to sug- gest to Tex Rickard that ha set aside a certain percentage of all cham- plonship gate receipts regardless of the division to establish a fund for unfortunate fighters. “The time to lend assistance is when these unfortunates are allve and not dead. If T am named Tun- rey's opponent I will try to get Rickard and Tunney te agree that a certain pergentage be set aside for such a fund. “I will gladly bear my share. A § per cent fund on a $2,000,000 gate would insurc $100,000. Adding to it all the time would wsoon bring enough to have a home and a hos- pital erected.” Jack though that Willlam Mul- doon, New York boxing commission- er, and Eugene Buckley of the Mas- sachusetts commission would make good trustees for the fund.
