WESTERN AND TECH
BATTLE TOMORROW

Tomorrow Western and Tech, two
OF the big high school football teams
get I'm action in their annual game
at the Central High School Stadium
With the memory Of a Tall tie last
year. both teams will hop TO the
battle with considerable eagerness.
Tech is the odds-on favorite to
win, but Western, as usual. is the
dark horse, and may be able to-spring
something in the way of football
which Tech is not looking for.
Under ordinary circumstances the
game is attractive. As a curtain
raiser for the Western-Central and
Tech-Central games the contest is
sure to be well worth watching.
This year Western is more or less
q trial horse for the two big teams.
The Westerners, however. must be
counted in the running for the title
For IL they succeed in defeating
Tech tomorrow. the Manual Trainers
will be almost out OF it.
One thing in favor of the Manual
Trainers which is not true of any
of the other scholastic elevens is the
fact that the team is unusually well
substituted. Coach Apple, Of Tech,
has had no less than thirty-five first
class players in his first string all
year. Many Of them are being worked
up for battles next season.
As a whole the Tech eleven appears
to be we'll able to go through a Cruel
ling contest with Western or Central.
The Westerners will have their full
lineup in the contest. The loss of
Jeffress early in the year was
tough blow to the Red and White.
Jeffress is a good passer. kicker
and runner and despite his i25 pounds
is a demon on defense. His arm was
d:slocated and he has been out Of the
going. Tech will have something
like ten pounds to the man average
on Western. Tech stacks up at about
1855 to 1877 while Western will average
about 143 to las pounds.
Today Central is expected TO have
pretty easy picking in it's game with
Eastern in the stadium.
All year the Central players have
suffered from injuries. The Mt.
Pleasant lads have not had what they
consider their regular lineup in any
game so far. If the cripples are
ready and are let loose Eastern may
expect to get a crushing defeat

The attitude OF the majority OF the
minor leaguers and owners today is
unfavorable to the Lasker plan. es-

The minors will listen to anything
within reason that either side has
to offer. but 1t is very probable that
the big league orators will get an in
different reception here. 1t may
amount 10 q social chill.
The minors are not looking for war
or anything akin to il. They have
the initiative and the money to go
ahead without bothering about any
major league squabbles. No less
than ten minor league presidents
made this plain to the writer today.

The Gallery is Pulse of
Boxing-Wise Crackers
in Attic Seats Are the
Thermometers Who
Tell Whether Bout
Is Hot or Cold.

NEW YORK. Nov. 9.--Under it's
new management. New York boxing
has undergone some intricate
changes. The old Clermont. Rink
days OF throwing beer bottles are
gone. The seconds no longer clu-
ter UP the ring shouting hot ad-
vice into the cold ear Of a colder
boxer. Profanity and rOwdyism
are out. Every big bout at Madi-
son Square in sort ~ society
night. where ladies can take their
escorts in perfect safety. About
the only remaining relic of the old
times is the wise cracker in the
nickel seats who comments hoarse-
ly on each incident. to the great
joy of the man in the twenty
dollar camp chair.
Joe HUMPHREYS. the official an
nouncer. probably has more trouble
with the gallery orators than any
body in the works. Joe's speeches
are always punctuated carefully by
the wise cracker up in the attic.
Many a funny interruption is tossed
at Joe. but he wisely takes the
slap and waits for the boys to
simmer down.
Probably the best known of all
wise cracks is the one pulled when
Leach Cross was taking his usual
nourishmcnt in the shape of eight
ounce gloves. two at time. Leach
was staggering around like souse
OH stills when one OF his admirers
hollered, Leach, you're wanted on
the phone"
That got to be an epigram in
boxing and business circles. When
ever a bird was taking a financial
or physical beating he was wanted
on the phone"
Another fayorite was Don't hold
him up" This applied to a groggy
boxer who staggered into a clinch.
The cuckoo boys friends in the
Autograph seats would beseech the
groggy bird not to let the other
guy use him for a crutch. When
the referee yanked 'em loose the
one who wasn't supposed to hold

nose into the resin like Willie
Hoppe chalking a cue.
Most of the wise cracks are on
the spur, but the boys still en-
him" on the same line of tactics
used by Napoleon at Austerlitz.
The idea Of one guy surrounding
another never fails to grab a
laugh, old as it is. These three
cracks are the usual gallery shil-
laber's line, although they link up
their stuff as the occasion war
rants. They consist usually of in
terruptions to the official an
nouncers speeches and what they
lack in ideas they make up in lung
power.
None OF them come near Leach,
you're wanted on the phone" but
the gallery wise crackers keep
cracking away in the hope that
some day they will put another one
over.
Whistlng also plays an important
part in the gallery crackers pro-
gram. Especially when two fight
ers are stalling. Dear Old Pal OF
Nine" is one tune that warns
stalers that the boys in the up
stairs seats are wise to EN-. The
old standby for one or those things
is the Merry Widow waltz. When
that breaks lose, il Is a sign that
there is something rotten in a
country much nearer than Denmark.
