WALKER WANTS SHADE
TO SCALE TAT POUNDS

NEW YORK. April 1S.-Mickey
Walker, world welterweight champion
has announced he would require the
posting of a $4,000 forfeit by Dave
Shade of California, to guarantee that
the latter scales 147 pounds, before
he consents to a title match with the
coast challenger.
Walkers announcement followed a
demand by the New York State Ath-
letic Commission that the champion
post similar forfeit guaranteeing a
Shade fight before the board sanctions
Mickey's proposed bout with Harry
Greb, middleweight titleholder, at the
Polo Grounds, June 19.
The forfeit requirements were con.
sidered by boxing followers as a new
obstacle to the Greb- Walker match
owing to the fact that Shade has been
fighting for some time at weight in
excess of the welterweight limit.

Goslin's theft of third in this frame
was a cleanly executed effort. With
out this contribution from Goose, the
GriffS could not have scored to knot
the count in this frame.
The fact that Goslin is a team work

exemplif1ed in the fourth, when he
tried to sacrifice with two mates on
the paths. Being winged by Shawkey
on the next delivery served Goose's
purpose even better.
Judges homer in the fourth with
the bases loaded was his second in
successive games. The count on Joe
was three and two when he hoped
on a cripple and sent it soaring over
the railing in front Of the rightfield
bleachers.
Plenty of feeling among the athletes
was displayed in the course of the
combat. The entire Yankee infield

Joe poled his homer in the fourth, and

My decision was to try an unusual

it with enough force to carry it over
the hole while my own BAH would

1t would have been a great stunt If
could have gotten away with it.
However, my ball struck Weber's a
glancing blow, moved it only little

his and took the hole. On the next
one he ran down a long putt for a
birdie and captured the title.
