Hi Fowlkes Goes Back To Chicks; Dickerman Stays With Brooklyn

MEMPHIS. Tenn. April 2s.-(spe- cal. )-Daniel ''Hy" Fowlkes re- turns to the olds of the Tribe and Leo Dickerman will remain with the Brooklyn club. Tom Watkins, presi- dent of the Memphis club, announced tonight that he had received word from the Boston Red Sox that Fowlkes would be returned and word from Judge Landis that he had decided the Diclerman case and had awarded the pitcher to the Robins.
 Fowlkes, native Tennessean from Dyersburg on the Forked Deer, won 19 games and lost for the Chicks last season. He ranked sixth among the pitchers of the league in effectiveness allowing 2.41 earned runs per nine inning game. He was sold optionally to the Red Sox for S1o,oo0. Fowlkes will join the Chicks at Chattanooga where they open a three-game series Friday.
 Watkins was hopeful of getting Dickerman back. When the Brooklyn club failed to exercise their option on the pitcher by making the final payment on or before April 15 Watkins filed a claim to the player. It was stated that the Brooklyn club had intended retaining the pitcher but that President Ebbetts was i'll when the time expired and for that reason the check was not sent in to headquarters.
 Watkins appealed to Judge Landis stating that he wanted the pitcher back instead of tho money and claimed him on the grounds that the Brooklyn had failed to exercise their option. Judge Landis after having the in his hands several days yester- day awarded Dickerson to the Robins

AMERICAN GOLF PLAYERS [ A N D ON ENGLISH SHORE

LONDON, April 23.-(By Associ- ated Press.)-The vanguard of the American Golfing Expeditionar, Force of 1923-amateurs who have crossed the Atlantic to give the English players chance at the Walker cup on their home grounds arrived today They found the eame's ancestral homeland most pessimistic regarding the chances for victory in the approaching battles with the Americans, the first of which will take place at Rye next Saturday, when the Americans will meet the Oxford Cambridge golfing society team, composed of E. W. E, Holderness, N. Cyril Tolley, Roger Wethered, C. V. l.. Hooman, R. II. de Montmorency and Ellis, Briscowe, Darwin, Giles and Mellin.:
 The carly seasons competition, played in the chilly late spring weather, which is usually uncom- fortable even for England, has re- suited in the widest discussion of the question of the paucity of Brit ish professional golf, from the view point of lack of new and potential talent, while the amateur prospects, considered more difficult to anaiyze. seem equally dark.
 On Saturday team of the leading men players was nearly defeated by women players in the annual com- petition between women and men at Stoke Poges.

Fulton Battle City Ring
Fighters Moue Into New York Bungalows


 NEW YORK April 23.-Wealthy prize fighters, not content with caus- ing a food shortage in New York, are snatching away the best subur ban bunele-houses inst as the local citizenry is searching for summer quarters. Jess Willard claims to have leased a uine-room cottage in Workers. with adequate stabling for his sparring partners. and Eugene CriQui. the French featherweight, champion of Europe. who hopes to be allowed to fight Johnny kilbane this summer has taken over the old Mathews place at Manhasset That is where the ladies used to watch Georges Carpentier and wonder where he got that delicate shade of blonde har-nets. Carpenter who is coming over again this summer to fight McTigue probably will move into the old homestead again when Criqui goes back
 Fioyd Johnson, Young Jack Me Auliffe and Luis Angelo Firpo also are going to move into suburban quarters very soon.

Youth must be served and to young Floyd Johnson has been served full share of laurels from the fistic tree. Coming rapidly to the fore during the past few months, Floyd brought to climax his ring successes Monday night, when he outpoint- ed Fred Fulton, the "Plasterer" in d decision bout at Jersey City.
 A year ago, Floyd Johnson was practically an unknown in the ring game. Today he stands on the threshold of fame and fortune in Fistiana, all because he has proven that youth must be served before age in the strenuous game of give and take.
 Johnsons greatest victory, pre- vious to Monday nights win over Fred Fulton, was a decision victory over the aging Bill Bren- nan. Floyd pounded Bill from pillar to post not so long ago, and created quite a sensation by his decisive victory over the veteran scrapper, Monday night, he added to his honors when he outpointed Fulton.
 Fulton and Brennan are past their prime. to say the least, and Johnsons victories must not be taken too seriously when he is considered for d championship bout. Floyd is young and husky and will give any veteran sec ond -rater-and most of the first raters-a run for their money. Against fast moving steel muscled, death dealing puncher such as Dempsey. all that won- derful vitality of his youth would probably fade into omething akin to immaturity.
 On May I2, Floyd Johnson will have another opportunity to pit his youth and stamina against the most aged of the veteran guards, who are defending the outer circle surrounding the kingdom of Champ Dempsey. .Johnson's next foe will be Jess Willard, he of the pate that should he bald and waist line that threatens to expand into something enormous. \ victory over WilIard-which should go to Floyd, because of that ancient rule of youth and age. If no other will place Johnson directly in line for a yvhnck at the crown of King Jack. n crown that ia lOs- ing none of it's glitter or stable position on the head of the king. IND THE ECHO ANSWER

DeSlnulng tO talk nnOut the cOh- ing struggles.
 "The mystery man of the Southern league , that's none other than Bert Niehoff, the spectacular manager-second baseman of the Mobile Bruins. It always has been and always will remain mystery to Bir- mingham fandom why Bert isn't holding down Eddie Collins place with the White Sox, or Rogers Hornsbys berth with the St. Louis Cards.
 At Redwood park, Niehoff is always the center of attraction His play is the most mand- ing of all, and his ability to GOV CT all territory from the right field foul line to over in short stops territory is as sensational as Jack Dempsey's demands for pures when championship fights are mentioned.
 Monday, Niehoff was up to his old tricks, and was easily the whole show at Redwood. He accepted , chances without an error and at least five of those 15 were exceedingly difficult. Bert thought nothing of crossin behind second base, scooping up hot grounder with his bare hand and throwing his man out with wards to spare. On another
