SLATED FOR BARRACKS

Washington fight fans who were
disappointed at the last show at tbs
Washington Barracks in not seeing
Jumbo Eggleston in action with
Jack Turner will have their chance
next Wednesday when the pair meet
for ten rounds.
Turner, who is in much demand
by local promoters since his kayo
victory over Tex stoval. gave his
word that he would give Jumbo the
next chance.
When offered a match with Mer.
riott for twelve rounds as the top
liner, Turner refused on the grounds
that he had agreed to fight Eggleston
first. In meeting Jumbo he is bat
ting tough customer who can give
as much as he can take and who
Is dangerous at all times.
In the Merriott fight Jumbo came
near ending matters in the sixth
round, but failed to follow his op.
portunity. He has profited by his
mistake and will be ready to send
Turner to dreamland If the chance
comes. The remainder of the card
will be announced later.

would shove them right up among
the contenders. The biggest diff
ficulty lies with the pitching staff.
The White Sox key positions
are good, except in the box,
and even there they look good
with certain pitchers in action.
Schalk is a steady, heady back
stop. Collins and Barrett are
strong around second base. Arch
deacon and Johnny Mostil are
good in center field. With Thurs
ton or Faber on the hill, the
Sox are a hard team to defeat.
At the same time, the Sox are
long shot for the 1924 banner.
The league leader has an almost
impossible margin of victories
over them. They will probably
finish strong after a terrible
getaway. Sickness and injury
raised havoc with the Chicago
club from the very beginning Of
the training season. It is only
lately that good luck seemed to
come to them. Now 1t seems
too late.
Nevertheless, like Ty Cobb,
Eddie Collins is out there play

the fans and also with several
members of his ball club. During
the recent visit of the Griffs to
Detroit Cobb openly challenged
a fan to come down into the club

his argument with bare fists. The
fan had been jeering the eminent
leader of the Jungle Cats from q

bers of the club are said to be
on unfriendly terms with their
great leader. This is clubhouse
gossip. 1t is given here as such.
1t may be like most other gossip

Cobb is approaching the end
of his string. He is driving him
self like a slave. He strains every
nerve in his body to win games.
Much slower than he was once,
Cobb is a dangerous opponent
every day against all rivals.
But Cobb is not popular. He is
not popular in Detroit, though he
has kept the city on the baseball
map for twenty years. He is not
popular around the circuit, though
he has made baseball history
