LIGHT WEIGHTS
START AFTER
HONORS

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Early pros
poets were that Madison Square
Garden would bulge to the exits
tonight for. the twelve-round meet
ing between Sid ferris, New York's
"dancin' fool and Sammy Mandell,

leading contenders for the vacated
lightweight title. The boys are the
headliners of the State Athletic
Commissions lightweight elimina-
ton tourney. to begin later this
month, and their bout tonight will
serve as an unofficial eye opener
for the action to come.
Local sports have installed ferris
a slight favorite because Of his
superior speed. The Middle West,
however, has tipped the scales in
favor of Mandell, the belief in that
section being that his superior rug
gedness will earn him the verdict.
Every reserved seat was sold two
days ago.
ferris and Mandell met once
about a year ago, but the question
of supremacy was not decided, the
Judges voting the affair draw.

CATHOLIC F I'VE
LOSES THIRD.
STRAIGHT
BrookIanders Showed Under
by Crescent A. c.-Garvin
Scores Ten Points Alone

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-For the
third consecutive game, the Catho-
lie University tossers, from Wash
ington, took the count at the hand
Of New York quint when the
Crescent A. c. slipped over a 3d.
to-12 victory.
Had it not been for a young man
named Garvin, who played at Gen.
ter, the Catholics would have been
swamped beyond redemption. Gar.
vim scored ten of his teams points.
and in addition held down not a
little the scoring of the Crescents.
Catholic University was off last.
and the Crescent team made it the
first business of the day to see that
the Brooklanders never got to the
fore. Coach Fred Rice shook up
his lineup, but the new combina'
ton did not work as well as II
might have.
There is some solace for the
losers in the fact that the Crescent
team has a long string Of victories
garnered from some OF the best
teams IN New York.

In his anxiety to prove he was

he failed to manhandle Joe Bashara
at Fort Myer, Jack Turner has
picked about the toughest, toughest
kind OF a hitter for his comeback
next Monday night at Washington
Barracks. Turner is matched with
Mike Owens, Of Savannah, Ca, for
ten rounds.
Owens is known in the South for
his terrific hitting. Though a mid
die weight, he recently spotted
Sailor Sanders forty pounds and
knocked him out in four rounds.
Sanders, attached to the u. S. s.
Yamacraw, claimed the heavy
weight championship of Savannah.
Owens now claims that title,
though it means little to him.
This Owens looks to be a tough
boy" said Turner today. well, I've
faced tough ones before him.
really don't expect him to hit much
harder than Bashara. The Norfolk
lad sure can land like ton OF coal.

for the first time since 1 began
boxing"
Turner is making no predictions
before facing Owens. The Wash.
ington Barracks middIeweight is
chagrined at his poor showing
against Bashara. He has been
working hard down at the Barracks
and hopes to regain all his former
admirers by decisively defeating
Owens. But he won't talk much
about his rival from the South, pre-.
ferring to let his work in the ring
do his talking for him.

This Is Hard Yarn
To Believe Of
Ed Roush

Ed Roush, one of baseball's
greatest outfielders, struck out
twice in the sixth inning Of the
game Of July %, 1916. It isn't
often that a man gets a chance
to bat more than once in one
inning, and to strike out twice
is q record. It would be even
more incredible If Ed should do
it today. Roush batted only
.267 in 1916, but his average
has been over 800 every year
since then. Only two other
National League players have
achieved the doubtful honor Of
striking out twice in one inning.
