Sid ferris, New York lightweight, in
the second round of ten round fea-
ture bout at Ebbets field tonight.
The disqualification of ferris came
as a great surprise to some 10000 fans
who cheered the New Yorker as the
victor until the announcement was
made of foul
ferris was pelting McGraw with
rights and lefts and had the Detroit
boxer Keeling when he landed right
to the body that sent McGraw to the
resin The timekeeper started count
ing McGraw out but following an in
spection, he was declared victim of a
low punch and adjudged the winner.
Physicians announced McGraW suf-
fered a serious injury after later ex-
animation in the boxers dressing room.
Both fighters are contenders for the
lightweight title In their previous

SAMMY BAKER FAILS
TO STOP BILLY ALGER

CHICAGO, Oct. 6 Up Sergeant
Sammy Baker, New York, failed to
stop Billy Alger of Phoenix, in ten
savage rounds at the Coliseum here
tonight. Baker, however, won the YER
dict of the judges for his cleaner and
harder punching.
Baker could not check Ayers at
tack even with solid smashes to the
jaw. Baker fought counter battle,
refusing to lead and waiting for Alger
to come in Alger won applause for
his willingness to trade punches with
the harder hitting sergeant.
There were no knockdowns although
both Baker and Alger were slowed up
momentarily half dozen times. Each
weighed 14434

chise county fair commission announc-
ed late yesterday that horsenen
from the Lordsburgh district of New
Mexico have agreed with the horse
men of this district that the pro-
gram of matched races which has
been set for October % shall be run
at the Cochise county fair grounds.
Tardy stated that no definite
agreement had been reached as to
whether the grounds may be used at
that time or not. The partial agree
ment already made calls for all
the gate receipts to go to the racers
to defray expenses of the transporta-
ton of race horses from New Mexico
to Douglas.
Tardy pointed out that the racing
program would in all probability at
tract large crowd as these races will
be between the fastest horses in the
southwest. The only question is
whether or not the people in charge
of the local track wish to take over
such an event and operate without
any profit or expense money for the
fair association.
The president of the association
stated yesterday that all the money
has been posted for the races ano

-O QAf

What a year this has been" re-
marked Manager Ray Schalk OF the
Chicago White Sox to me few days
prior to the close of the last season.
Was Tough Year for Schalk
MY troubles started in the early
spring with the loss of Johnny Mos
til. Then, after the race got under
way, there was a short respite. Get
ting great pitching from Lyons, Blan
kenShip, Thomas and Connally the
club was able to come through with
enough timely hitting to give us a
winning margin. So good was the
pitching, we didn't need many runs
to win.
Around June l we were fighting
for the lead with something like 30
victories against Is defeats. Then
came an important series with the
Yankees and we went into a batting
slump that started Us on the to-
boggan."
Before Schalk had chance to
make further comment, Coach Lena
Blackburn cut in with the following:
Eyes, that New York series in June
started us on batting slump and
we have never come out of it."
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-10-07

Through all the reverses the
club has suffered, Manager Schalk
still has the old determination.
He has naught but praise for his
pitchers, saying it takes real
courage to keep ON pitching ones
best with little or no support at
the bat.

wanted to Pray for BingIe

The White SoX have lost plenty OF
ball games this year by the margin
of run or two. Usually manager
beaten by lop-sided score, but to
lose a close battle, where timely
hit or two would have changed the
entire complexion sof the game, trays
ones nerves.
On the White Sox club are a num-
Der of devout Catholics. The mem
bers of that faith got real kick out
of an% unusual situation that devel-
oped on the bench, as the White Sox
for the third time in a game with
Cleveland, filled the bases.
On the first two occasions, the side
was retired without scoring. Trailing
by a run late in the game, the Sox
filled the sacks for the third time.
None we're out at the time In quick
succession, the next two batters went
out on pop flies.
Sitting on each side of Schalk on
the bench were two players of Catho-
lie faith CHANGING at both of them
in despair, he said:
Boys, I don't know the Rosary,
but if either of you can teach it to
me before the next batter is retired,
I'll gladly say it,.
Hardly had SchaIk spoken, when
the batter sent up another lazy
fly to the infieId and the White
SOx had lost another opportunity
to win a. ball game that was
dropped by One-run margin.
Lack of Hits Hurt Star Hurler
While all the White Sox pitching
staff suffered because of an utter
lack of timely hitting, I doubt if any
of the tWirlers have been harder hit
than Tommy Thomas.
Away to a good start, Thomas won
something like II out of the first Is
games he worked Unless am mis-
taken, nine of them were in a row.
When the season started, Thomas
set 20 games won as his goal. He
just missed that mark. If fate had
smiled instead of scoWled at Thomas
most of the year, he easily would
have reached the mark
AS I glance over my records, find
that nine of the 16 defeats suffered
by Thomas were by one-run mar
gin and in none of these games did
the opposition make more than four
runs. That will give you an excellent
idea of how well he pitched, even in
defeat.
A timely hit here and there in
any of those nine games would
have brought Thomas record for
the year well over the cherished
, goal of 20 victories.

new SERVICE
Through Diner, Sleep
er St. Louis Mexico
City Put On

ST. LOUIS, NO., Dec. 6.-Estab-
ilsnment OF new through sleeping car
ana dining carvice by the Missouri
faeific Lines and the National Rail-
ways Of Mexico between st. Louis
ana Mexico City was announced here
TO stay by c. Z. Perkins, vice presi-
dent in charge of traffic. The first
through cars left st. Louis last night
on the Sunshine Special.
lncidently the new service was in
augurated on the twelfth anniversary
OF this train, the first Sunshine
Special between st. Louis and the
southwest having left here on De-
cember 8. 1915, This is seen in rail-
road and business circles here not
only as an indication of the restora-
ton OF normal conditions in Mexico
but or the increasing amount Of trav-
Ell TO and from the Southern republic.
according to Mr.. Perkins, there is 9
growing amount OF interest in Mexico
on the part OK tourists and pleasure
seekers and for several months there
has been a marked increase in the
moun Of travel to Mexico by rep
resentative Of business interests, and
others il is said.
The number Of prospective tour
lists about Mexico is heavier now
than at any time in the last several
years, reflecting, it is declared a
growing belief that Mexico's turpu-
lent days are At an end. The Mex
lean National Lines are in splendid
physical condition and active cooper
alton By them in the establishment Of
the new service is taken to mean that
Mexico regards herself as now in a
position to welcome tourists.
Experienced travellers say Mexico
boasts more interesting sights and
more places Of historical and scenic
beauty than many OF the foreign
lands which annually attract thous-
ands of American tourists with
through service to the capital and
a very evident desire on the part of
the Mexican government and the
people TO welcome Americans there
II every reason TO believe that Mex
leo will attract countless tourists
this winter, said Mr.. Perkins.
For sereval years the sunshine
special has provided Mexico City
service by car to car transfer. The
establishment Of a through car elimi-
mates the necessity for a change at
Laredo and will it is believed, do
much toward the further reestablish-
ment of confidence in the normally
of the southern republic.
