BOSTON, Oct, ,15 R)-Maxey Rosen-

tonight from Tiger Flowers, mid

here. AS the men were both above

warned by the referee for hitting
low. Up to the sixth round the
champion had an edge in the ex1

the aggressive. The action was fast.

Flowers retaliated with a blow to

Experts Little Impressed

During the progress of the world
series, despite the fact that the season
had been over only a trifle more than
a week, the 1927 possibilities in both
leagues were freely discussed.
I wondered if the showing of the
Yankees had caused any of the en-
perts to change their minds. 10
satisfy my curiasity I put this ques-
tion to 20 of the country's leading
writer's on baseball:
do you think the Yankees will
be able to repeat?"
Not one of the 20 picked the Yanks
to win in 1927. Five thought 50
little of the club they predicted sec
ond division berths.
It is doubtful If any penrant win
ming club ever has impressed the
experts so litt1e' as the Yankees.
But, as 1 have said before, the
Yanks arc an unusual club and It
is just possible they will continue
next year where they left off IN
September, and once again make the
wise men of baseball look rather
foolish.

Matter of Intuition

The major leagues during the last
five years have returned to the col
lege fields for material. The scouts
have dug up some likely prospects.
Certain major league managers are
strong for colleges, while others stlil
lean to the sandlots for recruits.
This naturally brings up the cues
lion as to whether the educated ball
player grasps the fine points OF the
game mora quickly than the sandlot
graduate.
In some cases that might be true.
but it doesn't hold good as a general
rule.
AS q, matter of fact, I could name
a half dozen college stars who have
met with considerable success in the
majors, yet they can pull the most
terrible "boners" imaginable.
Really, doing the right thing in
baseball is a matter of intuition.

NEW YORK, November 18.-Abe
Goldstein, the former bantam cham

This time Abe will be under the direc-

Charley is going about the job OF
winning back Abe's title in the right
way. He is dickering for a match
with Bud Taylor. whom the Illinois
Boxing Board proclaimed champion
after the unpleasan miX-up with the
present titleholder, Charley Rosen-
berg. Cook says he has two offers
from the coast and will accept the
best one after Abe gets through with
a few tuneup bouts.
AS a fiyweight Goldstein looked
very good. He got his chance when
Johnny Buff ruled that class. Abe
got over his right in the first round
and Johnny made a trip to the can
vas. But Buff was too good for Abe
that evening. He came right back In
the second round and finished the

IN
M When Ray Schalk assumed
the task Of managing the
1 Chicago Americans for 1927,
he also took up the burden
Of replacing Eddie Collins, the de.
posed White Sox manager at second
base. This will be about the biggest
old load that any major league man
ager will handle next year.
Collins has not played continuously
IN the last two seasons because OF an
injury to his leg, but when he did
play the Sox were one team, ana
when he didn't they were another
team.
For II years Collins has been the
backbone of the Chicago club. He
was manager Of the team only two
seasons, beginning in December, 1874,
but he always represented the best
and biggest asset that the Sox had.
Also he was hammered by men in
the club who sat in the seats OF the
kitchen cabinet and beat a merry
tattoo.
With Two Sox Winners.
Twice when Collins was with the
team it won a pennant. The nrst
time was in 1917, when the Sox also
won the world series from the Giants.
In 1919 Collins was member OF the
champion White Sox when the black
sheep of the team kicked themselves
out of base ball by their crooked
work. Collins wanted something done
long before the investigation was
started. 1t was Collins and Schalk
who suspected the rOttenness Of the
deal they were being given by the
crowd subsequently expelled from or
ganized base ball.
It is held that the only thing that
Charles Comiskey, the White Sox
owner, can do Is to give Collins an
unconditional release. However, as
Collins is signed to players con-
be gone through.
If no other club wants him the
Chicago owner will permit him to go,
and he can go to any club wishing to
make terms with him. There are
three or four that had better sign him
If they can induce him to play ball.
There is little doubt that influences
were working against Collins in Chi
cago. That is the story which comes
out of the mouths of the players, who
often are fairly we'll acquainted with
what is going on.
MOr'ehart Is No Collins.

sight for the Sox is. young Morehart.
who undertook to fill Collins shoes
when the latter was hurt for the last
occasion in 1925. He is not Collins
and he cannot become Collins if he
plays base ball 40 years, although he
will give the Chicago team the best
he has.
With Collins out Of it and with the
job of shortstop no better played than
1t was last season, the Sox are not as
