OPTIONS ON BOXERS
HALTED IN NEW YORK

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April IA ruling
by the State Athletic Commission
on contracts was regarded today as
a blow to the popular practice among
fight promoters of taking options on
the services of boxers.
The commission holds that con-
tract for a fight is not a contract
unless signed by two fighters. 1t
is now figured that Tex Richard has
no contract at all with Gene Tunney,
Jack Dempsey, Jack Delaney, Jim
Maloney or Jack Sharkey. If a
rival promoter should get the sigma
lures of one of them and of an
opponent the other promoter would
have the only binding contract in
sight.
The question arose when the COM
mission passed on a case very SINH
lar, except that the fighters involved
are welterweights instead of heavies.
Humbert Fugazy had signed Joe
Dundee for championship go with
the welter king, Pete Latzo, although
Dundee was under blanket contract
with Rickard. The board held the
valid contract was Fugazy's because
he had two fighters signatures and
the best Richard could show was
Dundee's and his own.

past Reeves and went to third When
Terry knocked TO right for a base
Rogers scored after Goslin bagsed
Harper's long fly.
Speaker and Goslin awakened the
Augusta fans in the latter part of the
round with their homers. Spoke
onened the inning with a drive that
sent the bali under a sign board be-
side the left field fence. The Goose's
clout sent the sphere soaring into the
right field stand and left the Nationals
only a run behind the Giants.
Giants Increase Advantage.
McGraw's men, though, increased
their advantage to two runs in the
eighth when Terry got his second
homer of the afternoon 1t was O.

came after Spoke had made mar
velous shoestring catch to retire

Hornsby's liner.
In their half of this inning, the Ma
tionals threatened to reach the count
ing block again. Speaker started the
session with a triple and Goslin was
passed. When Myer sent roller to
Terry, however, Bill heaved to De-
yormer and Spoke was run down.
Judges infield retirement advanced
both runners a base and Tucker was
sent up to bat for Reeves. Ollie waved
vigorously for third strike.
In the ninth, the Nationals made
another bid for the game. ONeil be-
gan the inning with a two-bagger, but
held second when Tate. batting for
Thurston. grounded to Hornsby. Rice

and singled Mickey to the plate.

- ETROIT, Mich, April T.
| While the fielding of the
Detroit Tigers has been some
~ what off form during the past
few days. Manager Moriarty
is said to be better satisfied with the
work of his pitching staff.
The hurting crew was source OF
much concern during the early part
of the training season, but in the past
10 days Gibson, Whitehill and Smith,
the aces of the staff, have rounded
into fine shape and have bolstered
that department considerably.
The Tigers are now carrying a totaI
of IL pitchers, but many of them are
recruits who will be disposed OF be-
fore the season opens.
1t is felt that several exhibition
games have been sacrificed by the
Tigers in order to give the recruits
test under fire.
NEW YORK, April Z (P).-me
Yanks and the Giants today knew the
satisfaction that goes with errorlesS
base ball, while the Robins had the
less pleasant recollection of having
paid the price Of errors by losing a
game.
The Robins made two yesterday and
broke an eight.gam winning streak
by dropping one to the Atlanta Crack
ers. The culprits were young Par
fridge and Old Bill Doak, and both
miscues came in the seventh. Par
fridge failed to scoop Gilbert's ground
er, and a minute or two later Doak,
the spit-baller, let Gilbert go home
when the threat Of double steal had
the pitcher bit ratified. Atlanta
won, to j,
Meanwhile the Yankees let down the
Cardinals, to A, at Chattanooga, in
the seventh game of the Spring
world SERIES" thereby making sure
the Cards won't win it. A home run
by Joe Dugan in the fourth with the
bases filed, plus run in the extra
inning tenth, did the trick. The last
game of the series is today at Nash
vile.
As for the Giants, they had a good
old fashioned home run party and
won from Washington. 6-5, making
six for New York and two for Wash =
ington. They play four more games.
Prominent in the circuit hitting were
such well known performers as Eddie
Roush Iris Speaker, Goose Goslin

. ~HIS business of whipping al
- infeld into shape is putting
wrinkles in Manager Stanley
5 Harris brow these days. While
~ Ossie Bluege in his new job al
ehortstop is not causing any worry
Buddy Myer, lately shifted from the
: shortfleld to third base, is not perform
ing in a manner calculated to make
the Nationals pilot leap ana hoWl VIII
ioy. Nor is il so certain that StuIIy
Stewart will be able TO MAINTAIN the
flashy pace he has been setting since
he assumed the second sack statloL
following the injury to Boss BucKy
and the failure of Emmett Mccain
since released, to handle the position
acceptably. This will be something
for the fans to look over this after
noon when the Nationals make thelf
first home showing of the year.
Just as Myer was about TO starr
his lessons at the far corner and al
the same time attempt TO get himself
into FIX playing form, a stomach at
tack laid him low for several days
and after he fegained his feet he was
TOO weak TO get into the lineup for
time. So with the opening of the
American League championship cam
paign less than a week away, Buddy
not ONLY is green at his task, but also
far from good condition physically
But Myer CAN hit and the club needs
him in action.
Overweight Main Trouble.
Myers main trouble in Florida was
overweight. He was carrying so much
extra avoirdupois that he could not
move with any speed around the short
field, where he had been expected to
hold forth, or on the base paths. Low
Founders consequently were difficult
for him to handle. Buddy simply could
not bend over far enough to get IN
front of the grass-cutting spheres.
1t was thought by those in charge
of the general conditioning of the Ma
tionals, however. that a few days OF
extra effort both at third base and
in morning practice would bring
Buddy around, but his digestive dis
order prevented that and now Buddy
gets real exercise only for a few min
utes before the games. He certainly
does not have enough to do at third
base or on the runway during con
test to help him much physically,
So the Nationals now have at third
base a player who not only knows
little of his job but who also is below
par physically And nothing much
can be accomplished by Myer in learn
ing the rudiments of his new position
or getting fit for it before a week or
two of the title campaign has passed,
Harris fears
Buddy naturally finds third base
strange territory after having worked
around the short field for several years
at college, with the New Orleans Peli.
cans and with the Nationals. He has
not made much Roadway so far in
acquiring the knack of far-corner
guarding. However, he seems to
realize fully that his place in the big
show now depends upon his ability

he is striving earnestly to do just
that.
