Those who haven't seen Jor- dan since the Anacortes boy used to fight preliminaries here will see a dit- ferent fighter. Since then he has| had a world of experience in Califor-| nia, where he climbed into the main event class, While down there he beat Jack Sil- ver, the king of the four-round light- weights and also fought a draw with Young Brown, the tough Mexican. Jordan beat Charlie Sullivan, Frank | Tierney, Joe Layman and recently defeated Bercot in a great scrap in Tacoma, He also fought a draw with Johnny Trambitas in the City of Destin: His only recent setback was at the hands of Frankie Farren, one of the best lightweights in the West. 80 anybody who thinks that Jordan } isa soft one hasn't followed his ring career very closely of late New Referee $ Must Be Obtained With the departure of Ed Schacht to the spring camp of the S e In dians where he will act as trainer | for the Redskins, the Seattle boxing commission must dig up a new ref. | eree for the Crystal Pool shows Schacht has worked mighty well of late with the assistance of judges in giving decisions and there have been few squawks.

M. C. A.’s annual | Barnstrom, ID ELBER starred at shortstop jn the ma- 8, took a whix! at managing the New York Americans and then drift ed to the mino: had a peculiar hob- by as a big Jeague leader. Elberfeld was strong for system. He wanted a signal for any unusual move that was to be made by his players. The members of the New York Americans during Elberfeld’s regime used to do a lot of kidding as a result of their manager's hobby for signals, They insisted it was necessary to pass the “Kid” the proper signal, even if they merely wanted to take a chew of to- bacco or a drink of water, Of course that was the bunk. eee Wid Conroy played third base for Elberfeld. He tells an inter- esting story of how a mixup in signals almost resulted seriously, Conroy is now assistant to Ar- thur Fletcher in the handling of the Philadelphia Nationals, . ACK 15 years ago a favorite play that many pitchers tried to make was catching a runner off third base. With the winning or tieing run on third, the pitcher paid as much at- tention trying to catch that runner as twirlers now do at a man on first. Time and time again the pitcher would throw to third in an effort to catch the runner napping. Seldom is such a play attetnpted thew days. Jack Warhop, then pitching for the New York club, was a wonder at making this play, It was not un- usual for him to catch a runner game off third. In making this ney he received much assistance: from Conroy, Seeing the runner with a big lead, Warhop would snap the ball to third and it was up to Con- roy to make the play. oe Elberfeld, Insisted that some plain signal should be used for. this play, so there would never> be a mixup as to when the throw was to be made, It-was agreed that when Conroy” wiped his brow with his right hand, War- hop was to cut the ball to third, knowing Conroy would cover. eee Tse stunt ‘worked fine during April_and May, when the Weather was cool and the ath- letes perspired but little. One day late in’ June it was very warm and the players perspired freely, & runner on third, Conroy felt the desire to remove the prespir- ation from his brow. He had’no intention of making a play. at third. Warhop, getting the sign, cut the ball loose with great? speed, It struck Conroy back of the car. The ball went into left field, the winning run crossed the! plate and Conroy took the count... The next day Conroy insisted ont @ new warm weather signal. ri ALL-CITY CAGE FIVE | WILL PLAY DECIDED innovation in local prep basketball will be offered Tuesday night at the Y. M. C. Ay | when the All-City team, to be select- ed earlier in the evening at a ban: quet by the players, meets a picked team of officials and coaches.
