five had been trailing at a 10 to 8
count.
Nogales lost severai good oppor
tunities to score by the fine guard
ing of Cary and Magana while Bishop
and Verdugo at the forward posi-
itons fought to toss in the baskets at
every opportunity.
The low score was primarily due
to the close guarding on both sides
and also due to- the fact that the
Douglas men were considerably both
cred by the large court at Nogales.
Had the locals been playing here,
it is believed they would have chalk
ed up several more points. 1t was
a clean and hard contest, however,
and few fouls were called. Douglas
was behind all the way but put in
the final punch at the finish.
Tonight, y the Bulldogs will meet
Tucson at that city.

ORGANIZED BALL
To PERMIT USE
OF RESINED BALL
(By Dlsnatch A. p. Wlrel


NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The joint
rules committee Of organized base
ball, by to ballot today voted
to permit modified use of resin by
pitchers.
The rule change, proposed and fav-
ored by the national league represen-
tattves and opposed by the American
league delegates, was adopted on
the votes of Commissioner *. M.
Lands, chairman of the joint COM
mittee and Dale Gear, president OF
the Western league and the minor
league representative on the commit
tee. The exact phraseology of the
rule has not been perfected but
Commissioner Lands said the use of
resin by pitchers was adopted in
principle.
The change, suggested by National
league club owners at their annual
meeting here in December, was re-
ferred to the joint committee for
Consideration. The inree national
league delegates were instructed to
support the measure, while the Amer
lean league representatives carried
instructions from the American
league club owners to oppose the
measure on the ground it would open
the way to further modification which
might bring about a return to use OF
other freak deliveries, abolished in
1920.
The new rule provides that the
resin must be obtained from sealed
bag, placed near the pitchers box
under the supervision of the umpires
Dust of the resin. may be used only
on the hands, Commissioner Lands
said.
"Doctoring" the ball with resin will
not be permitted.

pnopER RECOGNITION

Getting on the card at one of the
big boxing shows in the east often
makes a fighter who otherwise would
have hard time getting the proper
recognition.
1t isn't always an easy task to
break into the elite of the casts
boxing. The promoters are loathe
to gamble with some unknown.
In this connection 1 recall the case
of Johnny Kilbane, ex-featherweight
champion. In his early days as a
boxer he was a hit in Ohio, but little
known outside the state.
Jimmy Dunn, his manager, asked
me to use my influence in getting
him a chance in the east. Johnny
Mooney, an old friend of mine, was
then the matchmaker at the Armory
Athletic club at Boston.
Mooney put Kilbane on as favor
to me, taking my word that he would
deliver. He was the hit of the show
and to the end of his career remain
ed big favorite in Boston. Then
came a chance to box in Philadelphia
where he also scored heavily.

often baseball stars in the making
sit on big league benches for years
before getting chance to show, sim
ply because some sterling veteran
whose work satisfies the manager,
plays the same position.
Take the case of Freddy Lindstrom
of the New York Giants. If Heine
Groh hadn't injured his leg just prior
to the 1924 world series, Lindstrom' S
rise to fame would have been delayed
at least year, probably longer
In the emergency, Manager McGraw
could call upon no one other than
the h9-year-ol rookie. Lindstrom
stepped into the breach and played
such remarkable ball that the de-
pendable Groh wasn't missed. Indeed
his work featured the series in the
field and at the bat.
