Sekyra Puts Away
Mike Wallace

Mike Wallace of Cleveland. was
knocked out at Tomlinson Hall Mon
day night by Joe Sekyra of Indian
apolis in the fifth round of the
scheduled ten-round main event of
the Arcade A. C. mitt show. During
the five rounds in which he managed
to remain perpendicular, the Cleve-
lander failed to show any of the
f1stic ability with which he had been
credited in advance notices. Sekyra,
who is a big healthy-looking young
ster, seems to be improving with
each showing here, and may yet give
local fans something to brag about.
The semi-windup of ten rounds be-
tween Merle Alte of Indianapolis and
MoXie Miller Of Cleveland went to
the local boy by a shade. There was
not much fighting in this number.
the blame for this resting with the
visitor, who held on too much to suit
the crowd. Alte managed to gain
the edge by his aggressiveness in
carrying the fight to Miller and by
his superiority at infighting.
A bright spot on the card was fur
nished by Lou Lovelace of Terre
Haute and Hugh Miles of this city,
who flashed through a four-round
prelim in great style. Both young
sters We're clever, Lovelace being a
scrapper of the Bud Taylor type and
in addition to res embling Bud to a
remarkable degree in appearance,
he has picked up a few of Taylor's
mannerisms. Lovelace had the best
of the four-rounder. Jackie Dugan
of indianapolis and Russ Klump of
Dayton battled four sessions to a
draw, while George Sandefur of this
city beat Dynamite Andy Myers of
Dayton in the curtain-raiser.
The bouts were we'll handled by

But Burwell kept going up and the

BIZ NEA Service
NEW YORK, March 90. - Sir
Thomas Upton, famous Irish yachts
man, has that "bloomin' mug" on

1t is understood Sir Thomas will
issue formal challenge to the New

series of international yacht races is
assured for next year as a challenge

Sir Thomas is without doubt the
worlds most persistent person. He
has witnessed four defeats of his IA
vorite vessels, but what matters
that?
AS his hieland friends say, he is

Americas Cup has been in the pos
session of the United States since
1851 when the speedy craft America,
gained possession of it in races off
the Isle of Man.
Sir Thomas Upton entered the pic
ture as a seeker Of it in 1899. His
first Shamrock was defeated then.
He came back in 1901, 1908, and
1920, each time with vessel that
cost upward of 100000 and which
was named Shamrock, and each time
he returned to his home in Glas.

In all, his four trips have cost up

But the desire to possess remains
and he is more than willing to try

ly to be called Shamrock "" and
which will cost according to esti-
mates, close to one cool million!
The trophy is just that-a solid

Service Club Reserves Tick
cts for Legion Show.

The Service Club of Indianapolis
has reserved approximately four
hundred ringside seats for Thursday
nights American Legion boxing
show at the National Guard Armory,
it was announced today by the eX-
service mems boxing committee.
Capt. Howard Clark, TT. Harrison
punch bowl matchmaker, who iS
acting in a similar capacity for the
Legion, addressed the luncheon
meeting of the Service Club Monday
noon, and at the conclusion of the
Captains talk, the club got behind
the Legion's athletic enterprise to an
extent that fairly swamped the
ticket agencies.
By noon of last Friday, the day
following the initial show of the Lee
gion, over a hundred season reserva.
lions had come in, the committee re-
ports, and with about two-thirds of .
the ringside lection now engaged foH
the season, &C is intimated local fGXI
who have not as yet secured o lpd ~ s
ing place had better SNAP into it.
The fact that the entire Ut. H.
rison punch bowl machinery hEA
been brought downtow 20 handEA
the Armory scraps seems to, havS
inspired a lot of confidence among
fight followers that every effort will
be made to furnish the best flstic
entertainment obtainable. The onlA 81
thing missing to make the Legl6fse
shows an almost exact duplicate OF
the Army entertainments has been
the 18th Infantry Band, but it's place
has been quite successfully filled by
the Seventh District Legion band,
which entertains during the shows,
starting with preliminary concert

Coast League Play "Opens
Today-EarIiest Start
in History.
BU United Press


SAN FRANCISCO, March 29.-Off
to the earliest start in its history,
the Pacific Coast baseball league,
with a personnel about evenly di-
vided between former major league
stars and rising youngsters, opened
its 202-game 1927 season today.
If attendance at exhibition games
is any barometer, 1927 will be the
most prosperous in the leagues his
tory. In spite of forecasts that
scandals seasons would adversely
affect popularity of the game record
crowds paid to see preseason
games.
Each year witnesses the RELOCATION
Of a dozen or so major leaguers to
the coast pasture and this season
finds some blue ribbon stock of a
few year back added to the ex-
major herd.
This years vintage includes such
veterans as Hank SEVERED, Wilbur
Cooper, Cotton Tierney, Bill Piercy,
AL Stokes, George Boehler, Dick
Cox, Nick Dumovich, Vean Gregg
and Jimmy Edwards.
More former major leaguers
cavort on coast league diamonds
than in any other minor organiza-
ton.
Among other veterans of the
majors who are starting another
season on the coast are Sam Agnew,
Art jain, Arcvhie Yelle, Whitney
Glazner, Art Weis, Harry Krause,
AL Walters, Red Killefer, Ernie
Johnson, Oscar Witt, Marty Krug,
Clyde Barfoot, Elmer Smith, DOC"
Prothro, Walter Mails, Rudy Kallio,
Ray Heating, Leo Dickerman, Ralph
SINNERS. Louis Guisto, Paul Strand,
Ray Lingrel and Ray Fish.
The season opened a week earlier
than heretofore. 1t will close two
weeks earlier, Oct 2, so that base
ball will not overlap football on the
coast.
Los Angeles, piloted by Marty
Krug, and Oakland, by Del Howard
loom as the strongest pennant con-
tenders. San Francisco's two clubs,
the Missions and Seals have been
greatly strengthened over last
season. Seattle, Portland, Sacra-
mento and Hollywood are not con-
ceded much of a chance to cop the
flag.
Hollywood opens at Sacramento to-
day, Portland at San Francisco,
Missions at Oakland and Seattle at
Los Angeles.

WHAT PRICE VICTORY?

tT1 HAT evening I parted com
pany with the Cincinnati
~ manager and shifted my base
to another camp. Since then I have
made the circuit. In the interim the
Reds have lost seven straight games
to various American League clubs.
Is there any positive reaction be-
cause of such a tough break in
these exhibition games?
l doubt If there is. Some might
say that repeated drubbings in the
spring tend to destroy a clubs
morale. That's questionable, very
much so.
Last spring the Boston Braves
were the sensation of the exhibition
games, yet when the season opened
couldn't get along and soon fell in
to the second division, to stay there
all year.
On the other hand, Brooklyn,
beaten dozen straight times by
the New York Yankees, stepped
right out in front in the National
League race and for nearly two
months kept the pace.
After all, these spring games don't
count in the standings.

Upton now are in New York, at
tempting to perfect details of a Sc
ries Of races preliminary to filing a
formal challenge.
There are more details connected
with such an event than with any
other sporting event. Chief differ
ences at this time are said to con-
Germ the type of vessels to be used
and the place where the race will be
held.
But If the challenge is made and
accepted and Sir Thomas is success
full in the race, the one great life
ambition of the Irish sportsman will
be realized. And there are many
who have seen him take defeat
gracefully who will be wishing him
luck if he makes the fifth attempt
for the trophy.
