FIRPO'S FAT LIKELY
REASON FOR PUTTING
OFF BOUT WITH REICH
Spalla's Showing Against
Him Probably Woke
Luis Up.
BY FAIRPLAY.

Copyright. by the San Antonio Light.
New York, March 15.-Luis Firpo's
postponement of the Al Reich bout did
not come as surprise. The reason
given was that he had a sore arm. But
the real reason probably will be found
to lie with Hughey Garland. Cart
land has told the big fellow to do some
training, get the hog fat off him and
buck up his fOot-work.
Ordinarily Firpo would not follow
anyone's advice, but the showing
against Spalla sent some illuminating
thoughts even through his thick head.
He must be in bad way if he feels he
could not beat Reich even with one
hand out of commission. OF all hori.
zontal heavyweights, Al is among the
Tex Richards attitude toward Firpo
is in line with Tex's 'poker-playing"
habits. And the excellent results are
beginning to appear in Gartland's
squawk from Buenos Aires that moth
ing has been heard lately from Rick
ard. Nothing will be heard, either.
Tex spent a lot of money in cables to
Firpo without a word of reply. Now
Richard is going to let LUIS spend
some money.
Incidentally, future events may
prove that n fighter can be "built
down" far more easily than he can be
built up" Firpo lasted two rounds
against Dempsey in their first fight.
There is really nothing to indicate he
would go farther next time. If Rick
ard wished tn do so he could emphasize
this fact and eventually talk Firpo out
of his prestige, or at least out of lot
Of it.
Incidentally again. it might be said
that Richard has Barlenbach sewed
up now and is working on big out
door attraction for the former wrest-
Ter. With this trump in his hand he
doesn't have to kiss the feet of Firpo
or of Dempsey either. That's one Of
the reasons for his present line to the
effect that one big heavyweight bout
a year, or even less. often suits him
better than frequent battles of the
sort.

BLUE BELLIES LOSE
Telephone Girls Defeated For First
Time by Seguin High.

A scoring streak in the second half
gave the girls of Seguin high school
a basket ball victory over the Blue
Bellies of the Southwestern Bell Tele-
phone company at the Y. W. G. A..
Friday evening. The score was 10
to 0. The telephone girls led at the
half, s to >, but scored only foul
goal in the second half while the
visitors ran up eleven points.
This was the first defeat of the
season for the classy telephone COM
pany team, which had met all Corners
locally and won four straight games.
The Seguin girls played good basket
ball and deserved TO win. The for
wards were accurate in this work in
the second half and the passing OF the
team and the defensive work of the
guards was excellent.
A large crowd attended and had a
good time watching the girls bump
their heads on the floor and skin up
their elbows. The lineups:
Seguin High: Misses Neubauer
and Berman, forwards: Nagel and
Schlwarzoze, centers; Hageman and
Nickers. guards.

BUTLER in FINALS
Indianapolis ColIegians Unexpectedly
Upset Hillyards Friday.

Kansas City, Mo-. March 15.-After
staging the biggest surprise of the
tournament, Butler College of Indian
apolis will have a chance at the Ma
tional A. A. u. basket ball title tonight
in the final game with the Kansas
City Athletic Club, defending cham
pions.
In romping away from the Hillyards
of st. Joseph, Mo-, last year runners
up. the college youths shattered all
tournament predictions and won from
the only team that has defeated the
champion Kansas City Athletic Club
quintet in two years. The Hillyards
were picked to be finalists with the
K.C.A.C. but their hopes went glim-
mering when their flashy captain, De-
|Bernardi. went out on personal fouls.
The finalists tonight will be m
marked contrast as to age. The But
Ter college youths will face an array
of seasoned former high school and
university veterans. All Of the ath-
letic club regulars were members of n
Kansas City high school team that in
the four years from 1915 to 1918 were
undefeated. Three of them later were
members of the University of Missouri
team, Missouri Valley conference
champions. 1t is the first time in the
four years the tournament has been
held here that college team has
reached the finals.
Lombard College of Galesburg. ILL.,,
defeated last night by the k.C.A.C.,
will play the Hillyards for third place
in the tournament in the first game
tonight.

DENPSEY-GiBBONS
FIGHT OFF; MOVIE
WORK INTERFERES
More Money in Thot Direc-
ton, Says Kemns, and
Matter Ends.

New York. March fo.-The pro-
posed return heavyweight title match
between Jack Dempsey and TOMMY,
Gibbons. which Tex Richard planned
to stage in the metropolitan district
early in June. was definitely called off
last night by the promoter after
conference he had with Jack kearns,
the champions manager.
Abandonment of the bout. forecast
several days ago, was due to a mo-
ton picture contract which Dempsey
has accented and which will keep him
busy until some time in July. Rick
ard said Kearns told him the financial
inducements offered for movie work
were greater than those held out for 4
return battle with Gibbons. who lasted
fifteen rounds with the titleholder at
Shelby. Mont. last July. Gibbons al
ready had accepted Richards terms,
This development makes it virtually
certain that Dempsey will risk his
title only once this year, probably IN
a return bout with Luis Angel Firno
here in September. The time to be
consumed by Dempsey's movie work
would preclude his preparation for
fight before then.

Hagen Expresses Popular
Opinion When He Says
Fun Is in Driving.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

DOWNRIGHT by The San Antonio Light
New YOrls March 15.-What may
be regarded as valuable contriDu-
ton to the moot question of tightening
the weight of the present golf ball has
been obtained by the writer from
the sixteen leading professional play
ers who participated in the recent Of
fetal tournament at Miami. Their
opinions run as follows:
Arthur Havers, British open cham
pion-I feel that lighter ball might
work to the benefit of the game, al
though / have no objections to the
present standard make.
Jimmie Ockendon, French champion
The lighter ball might be a good
thing, but the present make is all right
for me.
Would Develop Science"
Joe Kirkwood--A lighter ball would
make the game more scientific. Mere
smuggling would not suffice. Wind
would have TO be allowed for, man
would have to know how to cut the
ball with the wood TO hold the greens.
As it is now. stars can use their
mashie niblicks or mashics for their
second shots.
Jock Hutchison-If they make the
change to the lighter ball. they will
ruin the game. As for science. 1 be-
lieve it is much harder to control a
heavier ball than light one. Every
one likes long hitting.
Gene Sarazen-One could score bet
ter with n light ball. Also easier to
control. 1t would pitch right to the
pin and hold the greens easily. A
lighter ball puts better than a heav-
Ter one. A player has to know how
to cut to make the heavier ball hold
the green.
Fun Is in Long Drive.
Walter Hagen-The fun of golf lies
In long driving. Leading players
would not be greatly affected by the
lighter ball, perhaps, but in wind
the average golfer would be lost using
lighter ball, he would never get
around. The star is intent upon a
low score, but the average PLAYER
finds more pleasure in long drive.
He will miss that fun with the lighter
ball.
Leo Diegel. Bill Mehlhorn. MacDon-
aid Smith, Clarence Hackney. Mike
Brady and Emmett French are all op-
posed to the lighter ball on the ground
that one of the great destinations OF
golf for the ordinary player is long
hitting.

Passing his plate at the boarding
house table, or reading the funny pa
per on the front porch, or leaning
against telephone pole waiting for a
street car. George c. Brovold Of Min
neapolis is just an ordinary citizen
there's nothing special about him to
attract attention. But stick n baseball
bat in his hands and put a pair of
spiked shoes on his feet and George
attracts as much attention as if ne
were Mr.. Doheny's private secretary
in charge of sending out the wires.
He simply demands attention. Take
last Sundays game for example.
George went into it merely one of the
local rockies and came out of it more
or less of a hero.
Five hits in six times at bat, includ-
ing home run and a double, would
entitle anybody to little self-encour-
agement, remark, say. to the effect
that Il did sorta rap 'em a bit to-
day." But not Brovold. He's as re.
firing and bashful as a lone revenue

Connie Mack;s Players Next

in the four hole to clean up if he can.
And after him. Simmons and WEIGH
or Bling" Miller. 1t will depend upon
how they work out in practice. II is
a nifty combination. all told, and that
is why Mack is to put the team
through its PAGES at running.
Zip Like the Old Days.
Given little sun at Montgomery, II
may be that the rebuilt Athletic ma
chine will start this year with more
zip than Philadelphia has seen in five
years. Bling Miller was talking about
the Cleveland pitchers. and he said
that Edwards, the left handler, seemed
to bother him about as much as any OF
them. Bing is right-hand hitter,
too.
Il know" he continued. "that n
right-hand batter is supposed to bang
the ball when n left-hand pitcher is
working, but I'll tell the folks back
home at Scranton that / can't seem
to make much Roadway against this
Edwards. He is too long. When his
arm starts it looks as if it never will
stop and while j am trying to make
out where his hand is. the ball is over
the plate and 1 am hitting at it in a
hurry.
The Athletics look with respect on
Cleveland this early in the season. 1t
is chiefly because of that formidable
array OF Cleveland batters. The Cleve-
lands shape up this year much as the
Detroits did in 1923. When Ty Cobb
marshalled his 300 hitters on the field
last March, everybody was there but
the bat boy and the pitchers.
No Cnt Until June Is.
The Athletics hope some of the
Clevelands fall over each other this
year and forget to hit the ball.
When Connie said goodbye he also
said he did not think he would make
much of any change in his team until
June 10. which is the time limit for
cutting down. That will be glorious
news for most of the rockies. Some
of them may go eventually, but it looks
as if most of them will stick along
until they make good for the Athletics
or il not for them until they show
something that will at least keep &
string on them.
Any way you look at il. the Quaker
combination this spring has uomethin;
about it that seems to say keep NJ
eye on us, mister man. for we may b,
the chaps who will be skirmishin,
around the frontier line of the frs
division when the season gets unde
way"
