THREE ARE OUT
FOR HOLLOCHER
BERTH
Cubs Not Worried Whether
Charles Reports
or Not.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-whether or
not Charles Hollocher reports for
duty as shortstop Of the Cubs, Of.
ficials Of the North Side team re.
fuse to be worried. The veteran
infielder, who galloped to ST. LOUIS
last summer, declaring he was seri.
ously Ill and unable to further per.
form for the club, has been COM
pletely forgotten by the North Side
officials in their efforts to rebuild
the club.
There are, three candidates for
the job once filled by the tempera-
mental Hollocher. They are Bobby
Barrett and Gene Turgeon in ad.
dition to Sparkle Adams, who
played the station last year when
Holly took a runout on the club.
Barrett, the most likely of the
newcomers, was with the Bruins on
the coast last spring. He is twenty
three years old, and a right-handed
thrower. In forty-five games with
Wichita Falls of the Texas League
last year he hit 1903, making forty.
eight swats for q total of seventy.
nine bases. He handled 115 putouts
In the infield, took care Of 1O8 as
sists, and was charged with 10 er
rors, which Is some fielding.
A year ago Killefer took Barney
Friberg and shifted the latter from
the outfield to the infield and made
him one of the greatest third base
men in the majors. Killefer now
has q hunch that Barrett is goina
to follow. the steps Of Friberg.

man, met a tough egg in Jim
Londos, the Greek heavyweight
wrestling champion, in their bout
'at the Coliseum last night.
After one hour and thirteen min

part Of both, Londos pinned the
Italian to the mat with a combina'
ton head and arm lock-.
Muzzeni refused to continue the
bout, claiming Londos had re-

A word battle followed and it was
only through the Intervention OF

VILLA DEFENDS

FRIDAY
George Marks to Get Crack
at FIyWeight Title Of
World.

NEW YORK, Feb. E.-The SEQ.
ond championship match Of 1924
at Madison Square Garden win
take place on Friday night, when
Pancho villa win defend his title
against George Marks, the Brook
Iyn boy who went to California
to make a reputation az a boxer
and several months ago came back
to his childhood home to demand
q chance at the flyweight cham
pionship.
The boys have posted s2.5OO for
feits for weight. Making 112
pounds is no trick at all for villa.
However, it's not likely to be such
q simple matter for Marks, who
has done his fighting here around
11e pounds. If George is forced
to weaken himself to make the
required poundage any chance he
has Of dethroning Villa win go a.
glimmering. But Charley Cook,
Marks" manager, Is wise one
and probably would not have agreed
to send his protege in If he were
not certain that George can make
the limit and be at his best. .
Pete Sarmiento and Sonny Smith
are paired in the semi-final Of
eight rounds. Two skies and q
four round out the card, which
is priced at / to IS, an unusual
scale for q show involving a worlds
title.

brilliant to an extreme. These

"Our players are right. They've

The Washington times., 1924-02-05

Bob Quinn, a veteran in base
ball, has begun exactly where Fra
zee quit, going in exactly the op-
posite direction. Where Frazee
continually tore down, Quinn is
building up. It's quite a differ
ence.
There really is little for the
American Leaguers to do in Bos-
ton. The schedule was adopted
weeks and weeks ago. We have
had a copy in our possession for
several days. It is to be released
tomorrow morning all over the
country.
The biggest result will be prov
ing to New Englanders that Bob
Quinn and the new owners Of the
Red Sox mean business in their
campaign to put the Hub once
more up among the best baseball
cities in the country. The best
way to do that is to strive for a
winning baseball team. Quinn ap-
parently is doing just that.
The 1928 Red Sox lineup was
pitiful. There wasn't a baseball
man in the country who did not
express sympathy for that old
warhorse, Frank Chance, man
accustomed to victory. Chance did
as well as possible with what he
had. His team finished last, but
his team was a fighting team all
the way, and was not exactly out
classed at any time during the
race.
This year, following purchases
and a couple Of deals, the Red So1
promise to make some stir in the
league race. No pennant is ex-
Ipected, but New Englanders may
be assured that Quinn's team is
going to look a hundred per cent
better than the 1923 outfit which
staggered through the campaign q
year ago.
