Beware of the festive pork
chop IL you're seeking pugilistic
fame. This is the warning issued
by Jimmy Bronson, boxing impress
ario of Joplin, NO., who in his
spare moments acts as manager
for jeff Charge, the Fighting
Ghost"
Bronson has a theory that
young negro boxers who are good
remain so only when kept on a
compulsory diet. He contends
that the glovemen OF ebony hue

Under Bronson's guidance the
Fighting Ghost" was allowed

said the manager, "and the great
est fighter of his weight and
inches in the world would be
ruined. One day someone whis-
pared in his ear the joys Of life
down in Panama. He ran away.

QUITS AS
TIGER MANAGER

BILL LIZARD, former San
Francisco Coast league infielder,
resigned his job as manager Of
the Tacoma Tigers Saturday at
Great Falls, according to advices
reaching Tacoma today, and Russ
Hall is again managing his club
from the bench. Leard notified
Hall that he could not stand the
criticism of Tacoma fans.
. . . .
BILL CONTINUES to play the
keystone sack, but will have moth
ing to do with the managerial end
of the team. Although he has
always had a reputation for being
a good ball player, Leads crab
bling" disposition, and his ap-
parent failure to instruct his play
ers on certain essential plays, got
him into bad repute with the To-
cal fans. There was much criti-
eism. also. of the fact that Russ
Hall, an experienced baseball
man, had left the bench and plac-
ed the destiny of his team in the
hands of a newcomer.
. . . .
FRED CARMAN, big, lumber
ing right fielder for the Tigers,
drew his release slip Saturday.
Carman tore the ligaments of his
leg while sliding home during the
last week that Tacoma played on
the home lot, and was not taken
with the team. He has been re-
covering slowly, and Hall could
not afford to pay his salary, so
the pink certificate of discharge
was mailed from Great Falls last
week. Ike Wolfer, left fielder
who was not taken along because
OF illness, is still Halls property,
according to reports.
. . . .
TACOMA WON Saturdays
game, 10 to 2, and lost the SUM-
day battle, 4-3. On Saturday
Dutch Mehlhaf pitched a superb
game, and was given errorless
support. Bonner's rheumatism
was not troubling him yesterday,
and he only allowed the Grandads
seven hits, most of them being
punched in the third, when three
runs were made. In the eighth
inning, with man on third,
Bohne became confused over
pop-up fly that lined itself up
with the sun, and he missed the
ball. The result was that a win
ming run was made for the
Grandads.
. . . .
BABE HARTMAN, Tacoma's
kid pitcher, has a broken finger
and cannot play for some time.
This leaves the pitching staff 1e-
pleted. Russ Hall is forced 10
play pitcher in the outfield
