UNDER ¢ So Says Letter From Baker BY FRED TURBYVILLE N. E. A. Sports Writer. Jimmy Clabby, a star among mid dleweights here several years ago, is taking them ali on in Australia, ac cording to the latest letter from Snowy Baker, the famous promoter of the Antipodes. Jimmy is still a regular middleweight, but game was, scarce for Jimmy in that class and he's taking them all on as Jack | Dillon did in this country a few years ago. Jimmy defeated George Cook, a heavyweight in a 20-round |bout at Sydney. Cook was badly | whipped by the clever Clabby. The American will next tackle Albert Lioyd, Australian heavyweight champion. Another opponent for Lioyd will be Chuck Wiggins, one of the Tom Andrews stable now in Australia. Wiggins is a light heavyweight. He ts from Indianapolis. Andrews has with him Eddie Kelly, lightweight Joe Mooney, feather; Frankie Dalley bantam; Barney Snyder, flyweight and = Cliff Thomas, lightweight. | | They're getting plenty of fights. | Both Kelly and Mooney will box | |tew Edwards, Australian ght | weight champ who can also box in| the featherweight class Vince | Blackburn will box Datley | Baker writes that he has discov-| ered a new “Darcy.” ‘The lad ts a | young heavyweight named Jim Han. Looming; Lot — of Action Due | BY HENRY L. FARRELL | United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 12,—-That Amer- |1can league row is like a salt shaker with a loaded bottom.

Ban remained in town long enough | to let the time limit for an appeal on the Mays case expire. He then headed westward with his five faith- ful magnates, | A message followed him on the! wires from Col. Houston, part owner | of the Yankees. } In a long notice the colonel served warning on Ban that his violations | of the. constitution, his punishment of the New York club and his failure to be elected in the regular mann provided by the constitution had led | the New York club to consider hiv! contract abrogated, terminated and expired. | ‘The insurgents also claimed they had met with Frank Navin, of De- tro.t, and offered to meet on a peace- ful basis. Navin carried the mes- sage to Johnson, and brought back a negative answer, The meeting was held on an “un- peaceful” basis, and the fight ensued. A winter of court action now seems | cortain, .

Pro Football Lacks Lots MoreT han Nine Long Rahs Professional Football Is Being Tried in the East; Cleve- land Tigers Are One of the Leading Teams; Criticism by Turbeyville BY FRED TURBYVI N. EK, A. Sports Writer. There something benides the ‘nine rahe’ missing in professional | football, The pros lack condition, team work, speed and spirit. Out side of that it closely resembles the good old gridiron game indulged in| husky collegians for many en But professional football is grow. ing in popularity and if the men backing the teams will insist on rigid training and plenty of practice sessions the game may be made worth while. There is a demand for such a g00d healthy outdoor sport as foot ball, The sport fans have baseball in the summer and up until the first autumn crispness is in the air, ‘Then baseball is adjovrned until the next spring. There remains two months of generally good weather. Football fills in nicely, The fans are Wiling to pay for it. Let of Talent. Put the footbaliers should make| it snappier. There in plenty of tal ent. Men out of college only two or three seasons should be capable of playing good football if they'd K in and perfect offensive work. They're fairly good on the defense as is evi- denced by the fact that in Ohio, where pro football is strongest, most games have been won by field goal kicking. That shows the defense work of the teams is much better than the offensives, for falling to gain distance in line plunging, end runs and forward passes, they win their games with ficld goals. Massillon Tigers and Cleveland Tigers played before 10,000 at Cleveland Armistice day. The game was one of the important clashes of the season. The Massillon team showed the results of good training. Stanley Cofall, former Notre Dame star, has his men in the pink, phy- sically speaking. But they still lacked that something that makes college football a success. The Cleveland team didn't appear well trained, nor was there much indica- tion of teamwork or speed. Cleve- land won the game, however, 2 to 0, by a dropkick from the twenty-yard Une. Five times Massiion had the same Opportunity but all of Gougler’s No Offense Massilion found the Cleveland team a stone wall on defense but the Clevelanders couldn't advance the ball any great distance. The pros are slow in getting their plays started They take time out too frequently. Because of lack of sufficient prac tice interference is poor.
