Weigand Is Said
to Rial Hoosier
in Rough Boxing

On July 26, Art Weigand and Joe
Sekyra engaged in a battle at Tole-
do, with Weigand winning on points,
and the fact that the Buffalo light
heavy is coming here for a ten
round fight with Chuck Virgins at
the Armory next Tuesday makes it
worth while to give brief synop-
sis Of the scrap with Sekyra, who is
well known through his local ap-
pearanceS.
The Toledo Blade, in reviewing
the Weigand-Sekyra bout, said: cart
Weigand, rough and rugged, gave
Joe Sekyra, young Bohemian bat
tier, lesson in the rough and ready
tactics of the ring in a vicious
twelve-round struggle at Swayne
field Monday and carted off the vic
tory"
The Blade continued: at was a
gruelling struggle of the survival Of
the fittest, where anything went and
when the so-called rough stuff of
the ring was the rule rather than
the exception"
With the knowledge that Virgins
fairly ootes on the so-called trough
stuff" the above evidence that
Wcigand is a past master in that
sort of milling, is interesting for
local fistic fans.
When Captain Clark, Legion
matchmaker, finds a suitable oppo-
nent for Rip Wilson in the four
round curtain-raiser, the Tuesday
card at the Armory will be complete.
With the one vacant spot, the pro-
gram stands as follows:
Ten Rounds-Chuck Virgins, Indianapo-
lis. VS.; Art Weigand, Buffalo, N. r.; heavy
weights.
Eight Rounds-Johnny Murphy. Chicago.
VS.. Joe OMalley, Columbus, Ohio; $50
pounds.
Six Rounds-Frankie Frisco, Chicago, VS..
Jack Malone, Augusta, Ga: 1873 pounds.
Six Rounds-Charley Genaro, Chicago,
VS.. Chuck Templeton, Sullivan, Ind: 118
pounds.
Four Rounds-Rip Wilson, Indianapolis,
VS.. opponent to be named; 100 pounds.

Owing to the fact the Hens still

Bethel will use his Tribe regulars in
all battles, TO avoid any criticism
from Milwaukee and Kansas City.
If the Hens drop back while here
the Indian rockies will be given a
chance to show in one Of the Sum-
day games.
The Tribe-Hen seriees calls for
two games today, one Saturday and
double header Sunday--and
that will be all for 1927, the A. A.
schedule closing Sunday.
Minneapolis invaded Kansas City
today and st. Paul went into Mil
waukee.
The Indians rested Thursday,
their scheduled tilt with Columbus
having been played off in the We'd
nesday twin bill.
The Indians got crossed up on
their schedule and did not realize
they were to play twin bill today
until informed by Toledo officials.
1t seemed there was a postponed
game hanging over the teams that
the Indians thought had been
played off and the mistake was not
discovered by Tribe officials until
late this morning.

Caused internal Scrap


r-1dANKS for the suggestion, Mr..
Ill Washington, even though the
1 idea isn't exactly new, for at
various times I, as well as other
writers, have sung the praises of
Jack Quinn as q pitcher.
While it isn't generally known,
Jack Quinn was the innocent cause
Of internal dissension in the Amer
lean League, that ultimately re-
suited in the passing of the ma
tional commission and in a sense
undermined the power of President
Ban Johnson.
Let us go back ten years to get
the atmosphere Of the war days and
its relation to the status of baseball.
Since many of the younger stars
were summoned to war, baseball had
to fall back upon the old timers.
A majority of the minor leagues
suspended, even the majors one year
cut the season short. Among the
minors to suspend early in 1918 was
the Pacific Coast League.
Jack Quinn was a member of the
Vernon club of that league. The
Chicago White Sox, in need of
pitchers, received permission Of the
Vernon club to use Quinn, who was
then nearly "a years of age.

Another round or two hardly could
have failed to end with Dempsey
knocked out. Tunney, whose clear

Of poor training, seemed as strong as
he was in the early rounds, but
Dempsey was in bad shape.
Tunney had a clear majority of
rounds in the option of virtually

But just as Jack Sharkey's fol-
lowers had the cry of foul to raise
after his fight with Dempsey in New

this time could point to the seventh

Quinn's fine work caused New
York to select him as part payment
In a certain deal. In the meantime,
Chicago figured it had closed for
the player. Both filed claims, but
Quinn was awarded New York.
This caused Owner Comtskey of
Chicago to feel he was being dis

mission voted in favor of New York.
as I understand it.
A fight on the national commits
sion later, waged by the Ma
tional League, also had the back
ing of the Chicago club in the
American, which in the end caused
new form of baseball government
to arise.
Thus, Jack Quinn unconsciousIy
was responsible for the biggest up
heaval in baseball. since his good
pitching caused two clubs to fight
for his services, making the losing
:, club sore.
Quinn Is one Of the few spitball
pitchers still in the game, but he
probably could pitch just as effec-
lively If forced to discard it.

It has always been a source OF
annoyance to me that my ideas
and conception of the golf swing
are forever changing; not always in
what 1 am actually doing with the
club. but in what think am
doing. And can't help wondering
how much of the theorizing we do
is really helpful and how much
is forgotten as soon as we take a
club out of the bag.
/ shall never forget the first time
] saw a slow-motion picture of my
swing with driver. could not
believe that it was really me, for ]
did things in that picture that ]
had not dreamed of doing, and
things which / had regarded as
wholly wrong. The high-speed cam
era revealed a queer contortion of
the hips Just as the ball was being
struck which would have seemed
more appropriate if it had been
enclosed in a grass skirt.
And then 1 found out later from
some more pictures that j violated
in shameless fashion one of the
honored maxims of golf. had
heard all my life that, for accurate
hitting, it was necessary that the
ciub-head should descend in the
same path that it took to the top
Of the swing. And l didn't do that
at all. Naturally, | was puzzled
and somewhat annoyed with my.
self for such fragrant disregard of
the best established principles of
the game, and set about watching
other people to see If they did the
same thing.
