MAL0NEY TO MEET
 PERSSON TONIGHT
Boston Battler Fights Swedish Champion in Madison Square

New York. Dec. 2o P-Jimmy Maloney of Boston takes his third step on the heavyweight elimination ladder tonight at Madison Square Garden. Whether he mounts the rung or goes tumbling down in Tex Richards series for selection of an outstanding challenger depends on the outcome of a ten-round battle with Harry Persson of Sweden.
 In two previous heavyweight en- counters here, Maloney displayed skill and punching power to make him 8 ? 10 1 favorite tonight. He stopped Arthur Dekuh of New York in the first match, requiring only two rounds for his triumph. In the second, he decisively outpointed the German contender, Franz Diener.
 Although Persons stock took a fall last week as the result of an unexpected defeat at the hands of Pat Mccarthy of Boston, the Euro pean contender's aggressiveness and heavy hitting have been accepted as assurance of a rugged melee. The Swede will have slight advantage in reach and height which Maloney is expected to offset by his clever ness and broader experience.
 Tex Richards rival in the promo tion field, Humbert Fugazy, an- nounced that Maloney would be pitted against Jack Delaney, worlds light heavyweight champion, if he succeeds in out-fighting Person to- night.
 Observers expect the ten-round semi-final to provide Monte Munn's crucial test as a potential heavy weight contender. I[nute Hansen will engage the big Nebraskan in match between free hitters which holds strong possibility of a knock out. Mum rules ? 10 1 favorite.
 Preceding this encounter, Otto Von Porat of Norway, former Olym- pic champion, will engage Martin Burke of New Orleans. in a third ten -rounder.

again. This was the turning point in the game.
 Plurin again registered and the game was furious. The Rulers stall ed Corbins fought them every inch. Finally at the 5 minute mark, Car razzo pulled away and counted mak- ing 1t 36. Jasper shot just as the whistle blew and the goal counted making the final score 36 to 33.
 The game was as good as has been seen in the league this year and much more exciting than any other. No team had an edge and it was anybody's game. German did an effective piece of work in holding Sloman down in the second half but the New York boy could not be stopped entirely Plurin's three bas- kets in the second half helped his team greatly. Luke and Jasper with Hoist as pivot played a sweet game but it was Benny Paris with iiis sensational shooting that carried off the honors on the Corbin team.

TRADE 0F HORNSBY IS BEYOND RECALL
St. Louis Fans Awaiting An-.
 nOuncement Of Manager Of Team

l St. Louis, Dec. 22 (P)-In an at- mosphere of disappointment, tinged with resentment, St. Louis baseball of watchful waiting when they realized there was no apparent chance of undoing the trade of Rogers Hornsby, Cardinal manager and world series idol. to the New | York Giants for Frankie Frisch and Jimmy Ring.
 Sam Breadon, Cardinal president, and John J. McGraw, Giant mana ger, with announcements that the trade was beyond recall, left only the consolation of speculation on the next manager.
 Breadon would not name prospec- tive candidates, but sport writers and others listed at least eight possibili- ties. In addition 10 Roger Bresna- han, who Breadon has declared has Frisch; Bill Mckechnic, former manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates: Bob OFarrell, Cardinal catcher and the "most valuable" player in the National league last season; Burt Shotton, Syracuse manager; Hughie Jennings, McGraw's former assistant and Fred Clarke, former Pittsburgh vice-presldent.
 Bill Killifer, Hornsby's right hand man last season, would have pleased hn h q hoc nd probably will sign as a Browns coach
 Branch Hickey, succeeded early in the 1925 season as manager by Hornsby, will not be reappointed. Breadon said.
 "The man who takes Hornsby's place may have a great task on his hands," the club president said. He will have a championship club to work with, but the year in which team is defending it's championship usually is the hardest, and the man I hope to select for the job will have to be big enough to combine all the attributes necessary to retain in the Cardinals the same championship spirit that put the club over last year.
 If I succeed in obtaining the man to fill this order, the Cardinals will be all set to play in defense of their title in 1927."
 The breach between Breadon and Hornsby appeared not to have les sened The club head led with the statement that 'flattering friends" had given Hornsby too big an opin- ion of himself" and Hornsby countered with the assertion, If you say l wanted to leave St. Louis, that is untrue, but to terminate relations with you. that is the truth
 The former manager took excep- tion however 10 report that he was contemplating court action against the Cardinals for trading him when he is the second largest stockholder.
 That stuff about law suit is all bunk" he said. I'm now a member of the New York ball club and I guess I will have to sell my stock to the Cardinals. I will say, too, that will sell it to Sam Breadon, pro- viding We can reach an agreement as to it's value"
 Hornsby owns 1,167 shares for which he paid more than s50,o00 when he succeeded Hickey. He had said previously that he would con- suit an attorney regarding the sale of the stock.

 Tacoma, Wash. Dec. 22.-Boys and girls-meet Mir. Edward Roberts
 He is the Beau Brummell of the ring. Clothes? Say, he has enough glad rags 10 outfit the Prince of Wales, Lew Cody and Adolphe Menjou all in one night.
 He's good-looking duke--not too sheiky-just downright hand some. He kayoes the girls with shis doggy dress and he kayoes the gents with his mule-like fists.
 He's new character stepping into the big time spotlight of pugilism all because of his senational one-round knockout Of the famed Joe Dundee.
 "Who is this egg. Roberts?" many q fan is asking since he tumbled the Dundee silks into San Fran ciscos resin dust. Few had heard of him nationally, but the boy ap- pears to be some shucks on his own stomping ground.
 Here's the lowdown: About five Wears ago a husky youngster walked into Tacoma gymnasium looking for Jack Connors, the Tex Rickard of the village. The young fellow said his name was Eddie Roberts and that he'd like awful much 10 take up boxing.
 Connors took him in tow and got him a few fights. all of which he won. Then as his skill increased, SO did his punching ability. He got so he could slap the boys down on almost any or all occasions. He had II ring battles and ended 31 of them by naively poking his oppon- ents silly.
 He is g years old and has been fighting since he was IS. He is well built. of average height.
 His hitting power comes from two powerful hands, steel wrists and forearms. and great shoulder muscles.
 He hits with short, snappy punches, but he also is adept at fighting long range, holding off his opponents with his left and then firing the right
 He smacks with either hand. but his pet blow is q short left hook de- livered at short range. It travels scarcely q foot, but with it he can, and has, knocked men out.
 Failure to take the game seriously handicapped him about year ago and he suffered pair of reverses.
 But after furious battle with Lefty" Cooper, another coast wei ter, in which he was tloored twice in the first round and Cooper was floored five times in tho rounds fol- lowing, ending up for keeps in No. 1, Roberts took on a new interest and swept through tho coast welter list inprcssively. He wound up with his big victory over Dundee.
 Because he is rangy. clever. and q great counter puncher, he is hard man to match.
 Now he is clamoring for cham- pionship bout with Pete Iatzo.

MAY NAME H0RNSbY AS GIANT MANAGER
Diamond Star Will Probably Be Captain Of Team Next Season

New York, Dec. 22 Rr-Rogers
 Hornsby as a possible successor to
 John McGraw at the helm of the New York Giants today loomed as the latest angle in baseball's most sensational deal since the purchase
 of Babe Ruth by the Yankees. | 'I would like to feel that I can leave the management when my
 present contract expires two years | from now" said the gray-haired 1 New York leader. T do not want 1 to spend all my life running ball | club. Yes, there is a chance that if Hornsby fits in, he may inherit the
 job
 Baseball men here looked upon 1 Frankie Frisch as a likely successor | to McGraw before the trade which sent the former Fordham star and l Pitcher Jimmy Ring to the worlds | champions in exchange for Hornsby. | The latter always has been admired by the Giant chieftain, and during the recent world series he was one of the Cardinal leaders chief coun- selors. Hornsby probably will cap- tain the New York club next season. The salary question, one of the issues which led to Hornsby's split with President Sam Breadon of the Cardinal, remains to be settled be- ween the star second baseman and Giant owners. McGraw indicated, however. that he did not feel Horns by would demand more than the S30,00 which his contract calls for in 1927, although Rogers break with Breadon was due to his insist ence on a three-year contract at $50, GOO a year
 McGraw added his denial 10 those of Preadon and President Charles A. Stoneham of the Giants that q cash payment had figured in the deal
 McGraw also disclosed that Bread on, in first preaching the trade, sought F'risch and Bill Terry. utility first baseman. as payment for his infield star. He objected to parting with Terry, but offered either Ring or Pitcher John Scott
 Although admitting that the Giants "got a bargain in the deal,' McGraw nevertheless rated Hornsby as "a gamble" He wasn't as good at hitting last year as he has been,' ioy crn nnirtn1 Possibly it was his lame back and possibly it was the responsibility of managing the ball club and trying to win the championship. We will take a chance on him. We assume his contract of s30, ,0on as player. Whether he gets any more depends on the future"
 McGraw asserted that there was nothing in ths talk of the Cham ber of Commerce of St. Louis up- setting the deal" He said it had been signed scaled and delivered" and that contracts of F'risch and Ring had been forwarded 10 the St. Lcuis team through Prcsidents A John A. Heydler.
 A bright future for Frisch with St, Louis was seen by McGraw, who expressed the opinion that he is ''as good a ball player as he ever was if he only thinks so.'
 "Thcre is no reason why he shouldn't be a great second base man." concluded the New York leader.

The New Britain National Guards face the hardest test of the present season tonight when they meet the Meriden Endees on the Silver City Community floor. The Meriden team has been late in starting but is all ready for the New Britain quintet.
 Rubinstcin With Locals The Guards will be greatly strengthened tonight by the addition of Rubinstein who played here against the local team last Saturday night with Sam Pite's All Stars. He will not start in the game tonight, but will probably be injected into the lineup at some time or other.
 The Meriden team has#been beaten twice this season, once by Plainfleld Iand again by the New York Univer- Isity Stars. The team was rusty in it's floor play and in shooting but Coach Jac.- Curry has drilled the squad thoroughly in all its weak nesses so that there will be no handicaps tonight when the game is played
 The Meriden team will start with its regular lineup in the game. Sil- verman. one of the classiest for wards in the state. will be paired up with Murphy and these will give the local guards plenty of work dur ing the night Bissell, the former South Manchester star. regarded as one of the best centers in the state, will be at the pivot position. Half ner, former star of the Dixies who was one of the most popular basket ball players ever to appear in this city. and Red" Lingner, the terror of visiting forwards, will take care of the back court.
 New Britain will start with the lineup that has brought it victory in all it's home starts this year. The locals have one defeat on the slate and that was to Plainfield under professional rules. Sloman and Tay- Tor will be at forward. Reynolds at center and Sheehan and Captain kilduff at guards.
 Preliminary Game
 The Burritts will meet Joe Swedock's Eagles in the preliminary. The Meriden junior team is one of the best combinations in state junior circles and the Burritts will have to be at top form to win thn game. Ths full lineup will be in the game to- night and the locals expect win.
 Frank Barnikow will referee both games and dancing will follow. A large crowd of New Britain fans will be out to watch the contest.
