7'0day's Sport Angle

If Clyde Milan is appoitned man ager of the Washington club it will mean that three of the American League leaders in 1921 will be star outfielders..
 That will be bit out of the ordi- nary. as outfielders are rather the exception as big league managers.
 Iris Speaker of the Cleveland team has enjoyed great success during his regime as manager. He won a pennant and a world series in 1920. In 1921 with a team that suffered badly as to pitching he was a con- tender all the way.
 Ty Cobb at Detroit is the other star outfielder to assume the man. agerial rains of a big league club. In his first year asa leader, Cobb advanced his team a position higher than the previous year. He is of the belief that a strengthened infield will enable him to finish in the first division this year.
 Who will succeed George Me Bride at Washington? That is the question that is puzzling Washing ton fans and American League sup porters in general. Clyde Milan has fbeen prominently mentioned.
 A year ago no one would have given Milan the slightest considera- tion as manager. If any one had mentioned the possibility to even Milan. he would have scoffed at the very idea.
 Fate very often decides ones destiny. Last year when an injury forced Mcbride out of the game. ii was necessary tha: some one take charge of the club while he was under the doctors care. Milan being

BILLY A[CER ID. BOX RALPH PENA
 NEW YEARS DAY

Ralph Pena will meet Billy Alger in ten-round main event at the Eighth street arena next Monday afternoon. This announcement was made last night after the Legion matchmaker waited several days for a final answer from Gene Cline. Less than one hour after the deal was closed with Pena. Cline's manager wired acceptance of the terms and requested tickets, but Pena was signed and Cline lost his chance.
 Alger will leave Fl Paso tomorrow evening. coming directly to PhoenIx where he will finish training. Pena is training at Los Angeles and will leave the coast city tomorrow morn ing.
 Pena fought Ira O'Neil a ten-round draw several weeks ago and is rated one of the best welters in the south west. He can hit and he proved il his fight with Ira that he can take . hard wallop without flinching.
 Alger is conceding few pounds to Pena, but Alger's wonderful i'm provement during the past six month. has given him a big edge over tn. majority of southwestern light weights. He is willing to meet Pens
  the stipulated poundage with ease.
 Pena made his start in Arizona about the time Alger opened his rint career. Both boys have worked theil way up the pugilistic ladder, but Al gers showing has been more spec tacular through his bouts with promi Snent boxers. Pena has been doin; his heavy work on the coast, whil Alger plays the southwest. The! both have many friends and admir- CTS in this part of the country ant the bout will draw from all parts o the state.
 The preliminary bouts will be com plete tomorrow afternoon and vii be ready for the final announcement of the card at that time.
 The card will be staged at tn Eighth street arena next Monday af ternOon.

the veteran in the lineup, had the position thrust on him.
 The club wasn't going very well at the time. It didn't seem as if Milan would be able to make much headway. The club won the first game played under his direction, then the second and third Milan became intensely serious. The play ers~assumed the same attitude. They wanted him to make a good show ing.
 The club won II straight games with him in chargeN The success caused Milan to have managerial ambitions. l am sure he would ac- cept if the position was offered.
 The records show that catchers have predominoted as managers. In- fielders are a close second, and out fielders nex. in ordar
 If Milan is appointed. the Ameri- can League will present a rather unusual list of managers. three oi them being star outfielders.

first touchdown was no accident, The squad numbered only IS men and had stood a AS hour train trip, which fact alone is equivalent to giving the Texans two touchdowns. Against the small band from Arizona, Texas had three full teams on the side lines and could put in fresh team at any mos ment to stop Arizona and push or start an offensive of their own. They did this in the last few minutes of the game and the travel-weary Wild cats had to give up a precious touch down. The Wildcats were outweighed fully 13 pounds to the man by the Texas team.
 Beat Whittier Poets
 In the Whittier game the Poets had the ball within a few feet of Arizona S goal on several occasions, but the fighting Wildcats held ground and forced California to give up the ball. The TO victory stamped Arizona the greatest team in the southwest and made the coast experts take notice of the southwestern champions. The Colonels may beat Arizona, but they will know they have been in a football game and the loyal Arizona fans are not yet ready to concede victory to Centre College. The under dog is not always the loser and teams carrying bigger odds than the Colon els have suffered defeat before.
 Hundreds of Arizona fans accom- panied the team to San Diego and will be roofing for the home boys to win Saturday evening a. delegation of SC Phoenix rooters left for San Diego and win or lose they will be cheering for the Wildcats this afternoon. The home folks will await the final score 1 with anxiety as there is the chance the big chance, that Arizona may vii and gain national recognition as tho gamest aggregation of athletes tha ever donned the moleskins.
 As Governor Campbell wired Stu 1 dent Manager Wallace Tight 'en Wildcats. All Arizona is behind you.
