Maloney Or Sharkey
Picked By Iunney As
His Next Opponent

TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 10 [P.-Gene
Tunney, worlds heavyweight cham
pion, expects to meet either Jimmy
Maloney or Jack Sharkey in title
bout next September. He expressed
that opinion today in discussing Ma
loney's victory last night over Jack
Delaney.
Maloney is a rough, rugged fellow,
who knows the game. He is tough
and confident Sharkey, too, is of an
aggressive type. Those boys ought to
stage a whirlwind battle. l hope they
do. I hope, also, that there is de-
cisive winner" the champion said.
"Of course, Jack Dempsey, the for
mer champion, is still in the running,
but he hasn't made his position positive
vet. The way it looks now it will be
Maloney or Sharl1ey against whom l
will defend my title in September.
Sharkey meets Mike McTigue soon, but
McTigue, like Delaney, l believe will
find his size against him. Delaney and
McTigue are all right as. light heavy
weights, but that old saying, you know
"a good big man can beat good little

rule

for title fight that could have been
arranged. The public knows what to

to grab his title.

Douglas Bulldogs May
Cop State Tournament
Past Form Indicates

The Douglas Bulldogs will leave
Thursday for Tucson to enter the
state basketball tournament with a
fair chance of upsetting the dope
and winning the championship of
Arizona for the first time
The Bulldog team is one of the
best produced at high school in sew
eral years and the decisive defeat
of Bisbee, "a to Z, here Friday night

The Bulldogs have improved rap
idly since that time and are now
playing in top form. A check OF the

EIhalked up against two defeats for
the locals, a record unequalled by
any other southern Arizona high
school basketball team this season.
The Bulldogs have q strong of

canny accuracy and consistency. The
speed of the hoop throwers is eX-
pected to stand them in good stead
in the state contest.

present guarding combination that
is wells nigh imlpregnable. Both
cover their men like the well known
circus tent and getting an open shot
on these youngsters is rare occa
sion.
Causey is one of the most finished
dribblers in the state, his floor work
and accurate passing being features
of the seasons campaign. He has
an accurate eye for the basket and
often slips down to take heave
and chalk up two points for his
team.
Cummins is the standing guard of
the crew and his work under the
opponents basket is hard to beat.
He usually energies with the ball
after the tussle under the basket
and is the pivot man in another at
tack launched down the floor.
Joe Causey, Richard Seeley and
Glenn Pratt are playing their last
games for the Orange and Black
and are determined to end their
basket careers in a blaze of glory
by bringing the coveted champion

Douglas lost a 21-2O game to Gilbert
before Christmas and 22-1S game to
the Tulsa Eagles, which were not con-
ference games, but if the entire sea-
son is counted the Douglas team
scored 3O4 points to their opponents
ITO. For 13 games this is an average
of about "a points per game, as com
pared to about 13 points per game Tor
their opponents.
From a financial standpoint the sea-
son was also successful, and although
deficits resulted from the Gilbert, St.
David Nogales, Tombstone Wilcox
and Tulsa games, the balances result
ing from the large attendance at the
Tucson and Bisbee games more than
made up the difference. With only the
officials and few minor local eX-
penses, the Bisbee games each year net
a good balance, which allows the team
to go the state tournament this week
