weight, who engaged in a unsatis-
factory bout with Jock Malone OF
st. Paul, here Monday night, today
learned that he has been forever
barred from boxing in Illinois.
This action was taken by the

guage in the ring and with hitting
after the bell had sounded. Malone
himself was fined $500 and sus-
pended indefinitely,
Erwin Bige of New York and
Tommy White of Texas, also
were fined 500 each and sus-
pended for 80 days. They were
charged with 'fstalIing" i'm q ten
round bout at De Paul Univers-
tty recently. Jack Barnhart Of
Peoria, received q similar sem
tence for ''unbecOming conduct In
the ring"
I'VE do not intend to permit
boxers to come into Illinois and
do as they please" Chairman
Huncke explained. IF they do not
care to live up to the rules, we
do not want them.i The rules are
plain and the boxers must abide by
them the same as athletes in any

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Sept. L.
Building Up his back field win prob.
ably be the most difficult task con-
fronting Head Coach Earle Greasy
Neale when he calls the University
Eof Virginia's varsity football candi-
dates together on Lambeth Field
September for their first workout
Of the season. More than 40 men
have beer asked to report on that
date, but eight of last years letter
raen will be missing when the squad
assemblies, three veteran back 1ield
mainstays among them.
Carter Diffey, field general last
fall and the center OF the brilliant
end-running attack behind capable
interference that served the Cava-
liers SO well in 1926, is the chief
loss from behind the line. Diffey
will confine his football activities
TO coaching this years freshman
eleven. In addition Paul Walp,
fullback. and Rip 10th, halfback,
10th OF whom gained the W. 2
year ago, have played their last
game for the Old Dominion outfit.
Four backs who won their
letters last season are still
available, however, the quartet
being composed of Buck Cuddy
and Ted Laird, veteran half
backs Of two campaigns, and
Johnny Hushion, quarterback
and Quintus Hutters fullback.
Hutter and Laird probably will
bear the brunt Of Virginia's line
plunging attack, but that phase
OF the offense Is not worrying
Coach Neale as much as the task
OF finding a successor to Diffey.
Cuddy. the fastest Of the four
veterans, looks like the logical
choice for this assignment, but
he shone in leading the inter
ference and as a defensive back
last year. and the burden would
be too great If he were also called
upon to shoulder the heaviest job
on attack.
Hushion is the expected choice
for the quarterback job and a fast
thinker in action, is not parti-
cularly speedy ball carrier. Among
other back-field aspirants from
whom Coach Neale may pick q
fast.stepping ground-gainer are
Charlie Frost, who starred two
years ago till injuries forced him
out; Red Smith, a transfer and
ineligible last fall: Pendleton, ex-
pected to be Hushion's understudy
at quarter; Glauber and Ewing,
substitutes year ago: several
backs from the scrubs, and Daniels,
husky fullback and Harrison, a
drop kicker.

No accurate check-up has been
made hut approximately there were
liz 900 teams entered In the Babe
Ruth Contest. The fans from every
where sent in teams. A cOmpila-
ton Of the names and addresses Of
those who entered would look like
the city directory.
Almost 1900 teams were thrown
into the waste basket without g
second look. They were the teams
that were sent in without any ex-
pIanation whatsoever. The rules OF
the contest, published every day,
specifically stated that an explana-
ton must accompany the team.
Hence, it would not be fair to
those who have sent in the ex-
plantations to consider those which

Who will the Big Sultan OF
Swatania pick for his pitchers?
You know. the Babe has been up
against them. He has faced their
pitching. He knows which are
the hardest to hit, and he may
know that some pitcher on a team
low in its league may surpass' In
his opinion, some of the stars on
the big leading teams.
The Babe also knows that the
boys in the outfield should be
picked for any number OF reasons.
They ought to know how to play
for each batter. They ought to be
fast in going after balls. They
ought to have good whips, and
they ought to be able to back
up each other.
There are other considerations,
such as speed on the bases, bat.
ting eye, ability to place hits, and
ability to bunt successfully.
There are SO many. things to
consider with each position that
the Babe always has q tough
