BRITTON MEETS WORTHY RIVAL
WHEN HE BATTLES DAVE SHADE
BY BILLY EVANS

Is Jack Britton destined to be de-
throned on the evening of February
II?
The welterweight champion is
scheduled to risk his title on that
date with Dave Shade of California.
The bout will be is rounds to de-
cision.
Many fight fans in the east are
not taking the bout seriously. They
figure Britton will have no great
trouble disposing of the contender.
The coming bout will be the sec
ond meeting between the two. On
June 3. at Portland, Oregon, Shade
earned draw in a 10-round bout
with Britton.
In the fourth round OF that encoun-
ter Shade came within one second
of being crowned the welterweight
champion. Britton was down for the
count of nine.
The champion, however. rose be-
fore the referee had tolled off the
fatal 10. He was badly hurt, but his
experience and ring generalship
saved him. He went into a clinch.
held on until his head cleared and
stalled until the bell rang.
Britton came UP fresh for the fifth
round. However, the punch that
floored him caused him to repsect
Shades wallop. He fought carefully
during the remainder of the fight and
piled up enough margin to overcome
the knock down and earn a draw.
Shade unquestionably has a great
chance to win the title. He is only
10 years old, Britton is SO. II youth
means ANYTHING in this bout the
advantage is certainly all with Shade.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
WINS FIRST SHOE
TOSSING CONTEST

When the phone rang in the Cen
trail fire station Saturday morning,
the fireman who answered it, ex-
pecting to hear the usual excited
voice asking the department to come
at once and save the furniture, was
surprised when a calm masculine
Voice said:
"You birds down there at the fire
station think you can toss horseshoes
but we have a crew out here at the
Standard Oil plant that can pitch
you clear out of town."
"That So" said the fireman." you
will have to prove it..
And so the first official horse shoe
pitching contest OF the season was
arranged for 1880 o'clock yesterday
afternoon and the contest was played
on the horse shoe grounds Of the fire
department located on the north side
OF the Central fire station.
The Standard Oil company's brace
OF expert tossers however failed to
make good the yelled threat con-
tanned in their challenge of the MORN
ing and the contest went to the pair
of tossers for the fire department,
who won three out of the five games
played.

partment had a bit the edge on their
opponents and with the score tied
at the close of the fourth game, they
took the fifth game by the narrow
margin of three points. The Stan
dard Oil team opened the contest
with a rush and took the first game
The firemen buckled their belts a
bit tighter and copped the second
game. The third went to the stan
dard Oil and the fourth and fifth to
the fire department.
The contest was played under the
international rules and the regula-
ton size horseshoes were used. Tn
der these rules 21 points is game,
a ringer or the nearest shoe to the
peg counting the point. A fair sized
crowd witnessed the game and the
roofing was about evenly divided. a

near future it was announced yes
terday. Both teams are desirous OF
meeting other teams in contests and
it is hoped that a horse shoe pitch
ing league can be organized with
regularly scheduled games.
Arizona republican., 1922-01-30

In analyzing the possibilities of
baseball, have you ever given any
thought to the part that throws from
the outfield p.sy in deciding ball
games.
Probably not, because when one
thinks of an outfielder, he first looks
him over from the standpoint Of a
batter. then gives his fielding some
consideration and finally passes
judgment ON his f,etneas Of foot.
AS rule one seldom pays much
attention to the throwing arm. If a
fielder has strong whip and can
heave the ball great distance, the
fan momentarily marvels at the
throw and then forgets it,
However, the throwing feature of
an outfield is of the greatest inn
portance. Far more than most people
think. 1t is not so much the ability
of the fielders to throw great dis
tance, as it is for them to throw the
ball to the proper place and do it ac-
curately.
More ball games are lost through
cratic throwing by the outfielders
In the majors than by muffed fly
balls" is the statement Hughey Jen-
nings made to me one day last sum-
mer.
AT first ! thought Hughey must
have been dreaming, but as / gave
HE matter further consideration.
was just about willing to admit that
his dope was, right. Inside of two
months after Hughey had made his
wise crack to me, counted 10 games
that were lost through erratic throw
Ing.
What is meant by erratic throw
ing? l will try to explain. We win
assume the score is 5 to in favor

improve the life OF the arbitrators.
On the other hand the mad desire
to win that seems to have supplant-
ed the spirit OF sportsmanship at
many colleges, has made a lot of
woe for college officials.
Recently Edward Hall of the foot
ball rules committee made a state
ment that a number of the best Of
ficials were being driven out of the
game because of intimidation.
Officials Are Intimidated
He said one of the best officials IN
the country had practically retired,
because of the treatment that had
been accorded him after several big
games. The official he had refer
ence to was Mr.. Langford, who for
years has been rated as one of the
best football officials in the country.
Here is what Mr.. Langford says he
was up against in several important
games he worked In in 1920.
Said the captain Of one Of the big
eastern university teams to Lang
ford:
I'm each of the last three games
we have played against this team we
have been within their 15-yard line,
eAA4 OoSAA SAtuO yOn nave
US. don't want to see anything
like that happen IN this game"
Langford was being intimidated
before the start of the contest.
Coach Calls Him Crooked
Said the coach of the same team
after the game to Langford:
"Mr. Langford, / have always
thought you were an honest official
but / don't think so any more. After
the decisions you made against us
today / think you are crooked"
What you think about me doesn't
concern me in the least" Langford
replied. ITO prove how unjust your
accusation is, l have just refused to
ever referee another game for your
opponents, because of insulting re-
marks, and l will never work again
for you until you apologize
All of which proves that the life
of the college official is a tough one.
Langford sighs for return of the
old-time sportsmansllip that once ex-
listed among the colleges.

D.N)NllS'

without good infield ball club
hasn't much chance to get anywhere.
Most essential to good infield is
a shortstop and second baseman.
The Detroit team had trouble with
those two sports last year, and as a
result the Tigers didn't do very well.
All Of which leads us up to the
question as to which club in the
major leagues has the best infield
defense.
The addition of Heine Groh to the
that honor to McGraw's aggregation.
The coming of Groh gives Nc
Graw the two leading third sackers
in the National League. Since both
of them cannot be used at that posi-
ton, McGraw will be forced to make
shift.
Groh Is veteran, and has played
third base for such a long time that
McGraw will undoubtedly do his ex-
perimenting with F'risch. No doubt
Frisch will prove to be as valuable
d SSCOuu DdSeIndn as ne was on InlTQ.
An infield made up of Groh at
third. Bancroft at short, Frisch at
second and Kelly on first is mighty
fine combination. There are other
first Dasemen who are perhaps more
flasly than Kelly, but the big fellow
plays a mighty acceptable first.
In addition McGLaw has Rawlings
in reserve. Rawlings is a mighty
good man to have around, as he can
fill in anywhere on the infield with
the exception OF first base. He is
the aggressive type so much in favor
with McGraw.
There are a number Of other good
infields in the two leagues, but it is
doubtful If any of them will quite
measure up to the standard set by
the Giants.
v The addition of McInnes to Cleve-
land will greatly strengthen the IN
dians' defense. His presence will
do much to steady Sewell and
Wambsganss.
The Washington infield is a real
combination, now that the Nationals
have acquired Peckingpaugh. Joe
Judge at first, the brilliant Harris at
second. Shanks at third and Peck
at short makes a great defense.
The infield is the big thing in
baseball.
Arizona republican., 1922-01-30
TOday,S Sport Angle

out. That makes it necessary for
the visiting team to get two runs
to tie the game.
In most cases a runner on second
can score on a base hit. Since two
runs are needed to tie, the thing to
do if the batter comes through with
a base hit is to forget about the
runner on second and hold the bats
man on first.
In great many cases on such a
play an outfielder will take wild
chance and throw to the plate. Such
a throw seldom gets the runner and
invariably permits the batsman to
reach second on his hit, where he is
in position to score on a base hit
and tie the game.
On the surface that seems like an
ordinary play. but time and again
during the season it is improperly
played, and endangers many a ball
game.
