SHARKEY GOES AS
WELSH COMES BACK
Former Lightweight Champion
Hopes to Fl Himself for
Title Clash.
BY SID MERCER.

NEW YORK. Jan. 4.-On the rec
ords Of local boxing one notable
"come back" and one regrettable go
back" were entered last week.
Former Lightweight Champion Freddy
Welsh, after a long absence from the
ring, stopped an unknown" in a
bout at Newark. and Jack Sharkey.
who was well along on his way to
the bantam title q few weeks ago.
passed out as leading contender
when he was stopped by second
ratcr.
Welshs fresh start marked the end
of a long period OF careful prepare
ton. He may not'be successful In
fighting his way back to the top, but
he has planned his campaign intel
ligently and he carries the good
wishes of fistic fans. Sharkeys
amazing fall was due mainly to lack
Of training and bad hands. He lost
no great amount of prestige through
being knocked out by Joe Lynch. but
his defeat by Roy Moore was
serious setback.
Sharkey should not box again until
he has taken long rest away from
the lights Of Broadway and subjected
himself to a period Of rigorous train
ing. If he comes back again under
those conditions he will find his
former admirers rallying to him. He
is young and there Is no reason why
he cannot earn good money in the
ring for the next few years.
Welsh is combating the handicap OF
age and the effects Of many years Of
training. The former champion Is
the equal mentally of any boxer. He
knowns how to fight or dance away,
but 1t Is a question whether he can
compete with younger men.
81 don't intend to overmatch my
self at the start" he says. II have
done considerable boxing since lost
the title, but I need more than
gymnasium work. The only way for
me to Judge myself is to do some
actual fighting. l have made start
and will carry on. j believe that
will require several bouts to adjust
myself after my long vacation. The
other night in Newark l missed many
leads because I gagged time and
distances poorly.
more work should ind me hitting
with more accuracy. Ny critics at
the ringside this week said / seemed
to have a real punch. l figure I'm in
the same fix as a ball player in the
early Spring. You know at first a
batter hits only against straight
balls. because II takes time to adjust
the eve to curves and change OF
pace. am sure l will improve as
go along. I will climb as high as
can, and. Of course. bope my ehort
will carry me up to a return match
with Leonard"

INDIANS To STAND
PAT ON 70 TEAM
Jim Dunn Can't See Any Neces-
sity for Changing Lineup
That Won FIaq.

CLEVELAND. Jan. 4-The CieVe-
land American League team. winners
OF the worlds championship, probably
will start the 1921 season with sub
stantially the same lineup as they
wound up the 1920 race.
James c. Dunn, president of the
club, is satisfied with the team just
as II Is and will stand pat on the
lineup for next years campaign with
out looking for n single addition TO
his regulars or substitutes.
They were strong enough to win
the worlds pennant and look good
enough to me to be able to repeat,
said President Dunn, 80 why should
/ look for new material?
"Our batterly men showed them
selves to be the best in either league
last season: our outfielders, both in
fielding and hitting, were the class
of last season.
"Joe Sewell. who took Ray Chap
mans place at shortstop, has all the
necessary qualifications to fll that
position, making our infield. both in
defense and offense, as good as any
in the game"

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4.-Maurice

by the San Francisco Club OF the Pa

RUTH WOULD LOSE
FEWEXTRAP0UNDS
Demon SIugger Goes to Hot
Springs to Get in
"Pink."
BY JACK yEIOCk.

NEW YORK. Jan 4.-Babe Ruth
believes that a champion should keep
In the best Of physical condition II
he wants to continue to be cham
pion.
AS the Babe is the worlds premier
home-run hitter, he applies this RUE
to himself and in order to start the
1921 season in the proverbial "pink"
he has today asked Business Manager
Ed Barrow. OF the Yankees to send
him to Hot Springs, Ark, with the
advance guard Of pitchers.
Ruth took on some weight during
his trip to Cuba. He accumulated
quite a girth, in fact, and he wants
to remove 1t, though hc says he -
not worried about the weight he has
picked up.
81 don't believe in being Mt my low
est weight when the season starts"
said Ruth "A few extra pounds
gives a fellow a reserve that guards
against staleness later on in the sea-
son."
Ruth added that he win do a bit
Of pitching at Hot Springs. He
doesn't mean to lose his knack OF
pitching even though he is now n
regular outfielder with home run
making as his chief business.
incidentally Ruth will have new
pair Of gardeners in the field with
him next season if the present plans
Of Manager Higgins do not miscarry.
Bobby Roth, late of the Senators, will
play on one side Of the home run
king, and If a deal the Yankees have
in mind goes through, 1t is quite pos
sible that Bobby Veach will be the
third member of the Yankee garden
ing trio.
AS Roth is a hitter Of great ability
himself and Veach just as prolific
with the bludgeon, the Yankees will
have a murderous outfield providing
they can land Veach The Tiger out

see where there will be much interest
In Boston baseball next summer.
UP TO THE BRAVES.
Fans here have become Disguised
with foreign ownership. Checker
tournaments stir up almost as much
interest as local baseball doings- The
conclusion has been reached. very
naturally, that Boston Is now moth
ing but a farm for New York. In Doth
leagues.
The Braves have plenty OF chance
to horn In on the popularity, but
thus far nothing but promises have
been forthcoming. The Brave idea
seems to be TO sit cosy. and get
whole ball club in exchange for Mar
awhile, II possible. III that can't be
worked, there's no sign OF any trad
ing or buying on the horizon.

SCHOOLBOYS ARE ACTIVE
IN BASKETBALL BATTLES
Central, Eastern, and Western
Have Warm.up Games.

Central. Eastern, and Western have
warm-up games scheduled for today.
The Central lads are entertaining
the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute
lads in the Central gymnasium and
expect a first-class battle from the
Monumental City lads.
Eastern goes to Gonzaga and will
have tough nut to crack, as the Con-
zaga lads are playing in their own
gymnasium and have performed con-
sistently well all season.
Western is slated to meet St. Johns
and should have a fairly easy game.
II is expected that Western will be
shaken up considerably before the
game with Business on Friday.
Tomorrow the Business lads tackle
the Ingram Church team, while Tech
plays the George Washington fresh
men.

PARSONS MUST WIN In
TOURNEY TO STAY UP
Second Place Position Depends
Upon Victory T0niqht.

william Parsons must win out
over Walter Assay tonight In the
scheduled match in the District
pocket billiard title match at the
Grand Central Palace to retain his
position in the race for titular
honors.
With George Wheatley ahead with
five wins and one loss, Parsons has
four wins and two losses. Assay,
Henshaw and Tolson are tied Tor
third place with three wins and
three defeats.
Should Parsons lose 1T VIII put
him completely out of the running
for a chance for first place. In last
nights engagement Freeland won
out over William Kimball, when
that worthy forfeited his match.
Kimball, Freeland and Richmond are
tied for last place now with Two
wins each and four losses.

IL Is q Dad thing TO BOOST pleDe
at the Navy. It's tough on the plebe.
And why? Well, II you know any
thing about the Naval Academy you
are aware, without being told, that
Il Is a very bad thing.
But the fact remains that Angus
Sinclair Is made OF the right kind
OF stun. and II this yarn Is going TO
add TO his difficulties he'll take them
as a matter OF education.
Last year Guy Winkjer, another
Tech lad, made the relay team which
broke the Naval Academy swimming
record. Winkjer and Sinclair started
at Tech high. Sinclair broke the South
Atlantic sprint records, and wanted
to follow his older brother. Valvin
Sinclair. into the Naval Academy.
PASSED EXAMINATION.
Like Valvin. he was unable to get
an appointment. So he did what VAL
vim did-joined the navy took his
chance with the other youngsters,
won his appointment, and passed his
examinations.
As a member of the Norfolk feet
Angus performed in the tank in such
shape that he was expected to go to
Antwerp with the Olympic swimming
team. His performances warranted
his going over, but he had just en-
tered the Naval Academy at the time,
was lost among the hundreds Of other
plebes. and had no chance to make
the going.
Just as soon as they turned the
plebes loose in the tank Angus Sim
clair began to show something. 1t
Is freely predicted now that one OF
two intercollegiate records are in
danger. Certain II is that a Navy
record or 80 will be closely approx
mated by the Washington lad.
1t isn't quite fair to let Angus take
all of the well-known Iimelight. He's
still a plebe, for all that.
Let II be known that the Sinclairs
aren't standing on the ability of An
gus by any means. At Western High
School Nalvin. an older brother, won
honors In football and baseball. II.
Is at the Naval Academy now and has
been wrestling for the past two years
with considerable success.
WON TENNIS TITLE.
As a matter Of fact, the coming
star Of the family is Miss Helen Sin
clair. who won the District girls
tennis championship for the second
time in succession last summer, and
who went to the finals Of the District
woman's championship, only to be de-
feated by Miss Marywill Wakeford.
Miss Sinclair also plays basketball
with skill. 1t is freely predicted here
that she will annex the District titu
lar honors within a year or SO despite
her size.
Just now the older brother and
sister are stepping aside to see what
Angus is going to do. At the Naval
Academy they believe he will be a
record-breaker. On performances
thus far he has lived up to predic-
tons, and when the tank season
starts, just keep a water eye out for
Angus.
