LOSS OF RUTH
BLOW TO YANKS

II is imposs. BILE TO estimate what
the loss of Ruth means to the New
York Yankees and the American
| league.
The inability of Ruth to play un-
ill NAV 20, may prevent the New
York club from repeating as the
American league pennant winner
The presence of Ruth in the New
York lineup. is most important -
the success of the club. His real
yaI1a to the YANKEES was made APP
narent in the recent world series.
Without Ruin the Yankees lack
the tremendous punch that he sup
plies. His absence likewise removes
the big threat. With him out, OPP
posing pitchers have nothing TO
worry about.
II is very conservative to say that
Ruth's absence from the game VIII
cost the Yankees 100000 in real
money. The otlter seven clubs will
lose between them an equal amount.
The three eastern clubs. Boston.
Philadelphia ard Washington, will
be the heaviest sufferers. These
teams play against the New York
team during the first month OF
play.
With Ruth out of the lineup the
gate is going TO suffer heavily Ruth
is the big card. Without him the
Yankees are going TO lose lot Of
color. There is always much inter
est in his spring showing, as com
pared TO his efforts of the previous
year.
If the Yankees get away to bad
start in the spring, due to the
absence of Ruth, the effect is going
to be felt throughout the year
1t will mean that the New York
club will suffer to much greater
extent than 100000. That amount
was merely figured on the spring
games which would be played with
out him in the lineup.
If his absence is the cause OF the
Yankees losing the pennant, and
thereby the right to play in the
series, the damage becomes all the
greater.
Ruth will be missed in more ways
, than one, on the field, at the gate
, in the sport sheets.
, The New York club will also suf-
fer in other directions as result
of the Lands decision. Bob Meusel

MILLER HIGGINS
KING TRADER OF
BASEBALL WORLD

Miller Huggins is the smallest
manager in baseball, when stature
alone is considered.
When it comes to pulling base
ball trades, Higgins is just about
the biggest thing in the business.
That goes literally.
When Higgins puts ever deal,
it seldom involves one or two play
ers as is customary with most man
ayers. No indeed. there is nothing
OF the retail trader about Higgins.
He is a wholesaler if there ever Vas
one.
Six times in recent years Hug
gins has put over deals involving
seven players. One OF the trans
actions was made while he was
managing the st. Louis Cardinals.
The others were made since he
Joined the Yankees.

SCHLAIFER AND
WEIGH BILLED
FOR FIRST GO
Chicago Boy to Get Another Crack
at Fighter who Knocked Him
Out Recently.
By j. L. HUGHES.

The 1929 boxing season will be
ushered in hereabouts by the Dav-
export legion Jan. 20 when Morris
Schlaifer OF Omaha and Frankie
WEIGH of Chicago will meet at lao
pounds
This will be the second tima
within recent months this pair OF
fighters will have FLASHED. Not so
long ago Schlaifer put over a kayo
on the Chicagoan at Omaha and
since then frankie has been clam
0riHg for another chance.
Schlaifer has a record studded
thickly with knockouts. Shortly
after putting WEIGH to sleep, he
turned the trick on Gamer Joe
Quinn at Minneapolis in two
ROUNDS. Quinn. 1t will be remem-
bered, appeared in Rock Island
last spring against Navy Rostran.
SchIaifer hung up mark for
pugs to shoot at when he regis
tered five straight knockouts with
in nine weeks. His victims in this
particular were Jack Lahey. three
rounds; Charlie Hendricks, two
rounds; Al Arney, three rounds;
Matty McCue, two rounds, and John
Lewis, 10 rounds. He also holds
a kayo victory over AL futile,
Philadelphia lightweight, who boz
ed in Rock Island once. Schlaifer
fought to draw in 10 rounds with
Harvey Thorpe of Kansas City.
Matching of Schlaifer and WEIGH
should be pleasing to tri-city fan
dom. Welcn is a favorite in these
parts, and for this reason the fans
undoubtedly will be anxious TO see
him against a boxer who once put
aim down for the count.
That defeat has not been setting
well with frankie, who has aspira-
tons for a high place in the light
weight ranks. He has been putting
. in some strenuous training ticks
since in preparation for another
chance at the hard-hitting Omaha
fighter and promises that a differ
ent story will be told the next
time
The show will serve to inaugu-
rate the 1922 fistic activities of the
Davenport legion. The game ha
had a rest since Thanksgiving.
The promoters believe the time is
ripe for providing a glove treat
again. A fast semi-windup and ths
usual run OF good preliminaries ara
being arranged and will be readt
for announcement within a few
days.

Who will be Jack Dempsey's
next opponent?
Fred Fulton is being prominent
ly mentioned
1t will be recalled that Fulton
didn't last very long against Demp-
sey in their previous meeting
After the two fighters were intro
duced. they squared off, Dempsey
cut loose swing, and Fulton kiss
ed the floor Exit
The latest in heavyweight cir
cles is that Harry Greb of Pitts
burgh will be the next fighter to
dispute Dempsey's right to the I'll
tie.
Greb will shortly meet Johnny
Wilson, holder of the middleweight
title. The bout will be staged at
Madison Square Garden. Most of
the critics feel sure that Greb will
lift the crown.
The result of that bout alone, is
holding up the proposed Dempsey
Greb 60 If Greb loses to Wilson,
then such a bout would have no
drawing power. However, if he
wins the middleweight title, such a
meeting would attract wide atten-
ton.
A lot of people will scott at the
idea of Greb meeting Dempsey
Greb has 4 much better chance than
did Carpenter. He is bigger and
sturdier than the European cham
pion.
While Dempsey's physical advan-
tages would make HIM a big favor
tie over Greb. still the bout would
not be as lopsided as it seems.
! Remember Bob FitZsimmons was
/ never much more than a middle
weight if you consider poundage.

BILLY EVANS SAYS

Is it worth while to place vic
/ tory ahead of craftsmanship?
In all probability Pepper Mar
tin of Brooklyn, who is regarded
as a contender for the feather
weight title. no longer thinks SO.
Sport enthusiasts proved to the
satisfaction of Martin the other
evening that boxing fans have no
cheers for victory gained in an
unsportsmanlike manner.
There are some who will argue
that victory is the big thing nc
matter how it is gained. That IS
all wrong. Often the vanquished
boxer leaves the ring a much big
ger fellow than the victor.
Martin met Johnny Dwyer in New
York recently. DWyer was knock
ed out in the second round. 1t was
decisive victory. 1t was 10 min
utes before Dwyer could leave the
ring.
When Martin jumped over the
ropes after being declared the win
ner, there was no wild cheering to
acclaim his feat On the contrary,
kissing and booing was the style
vi ttlaL III " ehR III NNo
to listen to- as he wendell his way
to the dressing room.
The knockout came in the second
round The two fighters had been
exchanging low blows. Martin had
been the worst offender. While it
is certain that none of the fouls
was intentional, Martin decided
that an apology was necessary.
Martin, as is customary VIII
boxers, extended his right hand ~
Dwyer in d spirit OF Cancellation.
Dwyer took the proffeTed hand, an
the two shock hands as an indIca-
ton that neither bore any i'll feel
ing.
The action of Martin in extend
ing his hand, and Dwyer in accept
ing it, pleased the crowd. 1t was
an indication Of good sportsman
ship. The crowd voiced its APP
prevail with loud applause for botn
Of the boxers.
Scarcely had the cheers died out
when Martin put over the knockout.
It is usually customary after fight
ers shake hands over matters OF
this sort, for the men TO step back,
as they do when the referee causes
them 10 break after a clinch. Bare
" had the hand clasp ended when
Martin shot over a snappy left TO
the chin, and Dryer, who had not
had time to get mis- guard up, took
the count
It was sharp practice on the part
of Martin While there is nOthin 6
in the ruIps that definitely covers
such an act, it is always in the
province of the referee to use his
own judgment
The crowd didn't like the IN
sportsmanIike tactics and gave
Martin. who was a big favorite witt
the crowd before the fight staEtsd
a reception that must have made
him feel uncomfortable.
The action OF Martin in taking
advantage Of Dwyer recalls tC
mind the bout between Kid MCCOY
and Herr PIacke. Mccoy was out
weighted by so pounds. For twc
rounds Mccoy did nothing bu
dodge punches.
I Mccoy then decided to use lit
tie strategy. As P!acke started II
rush at Mccoy, the kid" re
marked:
Wait a minute. your shoe is IN
tied" Placke stopped in his tracks
and gave a startled look at his foot
gear As he did so, Mccoy hit hin

that knocked Placke out for L
minutes
