cent being initially paid. and who

This Is the decision Just handed

Having made his election to make

the taxpayer may not change because
subsequent legislation makes 1t to his

M'TIGUE MAY FIGHT
IN TOURNEY AGAIN

NEW YORK, March IL CP).--Mike
McTigue, whose spectacular drive
for heavyweight recognition contrib
uted one of the most coiorful 1ea-
lures of Tex Richards elimination
series, may have another chance TO
regain his lost light-heavyWelgnt
1aurels.
Announcing tentative plans for an
indoor match between Mike ana
Tommy Loughran of Philadelphia on
MAY 13, Richard today indicated mis-
intention of pitting the winner
against Jack Delaney. Expectations
are that the title battle, II Rickaro
completes his program, will be held
at Yankee Stadium in June.
Loughran for several months has
been clarnoring for a title chance,
while McTigue established himself as
a powerful rival by his Knockout
victory over Paul Berlenbach ana
his sensational but losing fgnt
against Jack Sharkey.
Richard seeks to convince the
State Athletic Commission that next
MONDAYS bout at the Garden between
ANDY Divodi OF New York ana
Mushy Callahan of California should
be labeled junior welterweignt
title fight.
The Commissions refusal to recog-
nize the division may leave Tex with
q diamond studded belt costing $1,000
on his hands. Richard purchased the
gift for the winner of the match, but
hesitates to make the presentation
IN the face Of the commissions atti-

11.--Should Arnold Statz, out.
IL fielder, be successful with
Brooklyn this season and prove
as skillfully expert as his California
friends believe him to be, the Cali
fornia climate will claim another vic
tory over strained muscles and sore
wings. Ball players never have
arms" They wear wings, even
though sometimes they don't fly far
with them.
Many a player who seemed to have
travelled as far on the big league high
way as human endurance could take
him has come to California and been
rejuvenated. With a year or so of
active outdoor work on the Pacific
slope, in climate luxuriously warm
in the sun, ball players who seemed
to have run down like grandfather
clock have found that the handspring
was clogged with dirt instead of being
rusty and limp.
STATE entered major league base ball
through the portals of the Giants. He
slipped and fell and passed on. Last
season he was the sensation Of the
Pacific Coast League, doing goodly
share toward helping Los Angeles
win the championship.
Outfield McGraw Worry.
1t would be just Uncle Robby's luck
to have him triumph this year while
the Giants may find it hard to put
together an outfield that will hold its
own. The task of getting an outfield
that suited him has tried McGraW
more than once and even when he has
had men who could bat and were good
run.getters. they have been inclined
to slip in some important game and
throw the cogs out Of gear.
"Statz will make good for BROOKLYN
this year" said j. III. Patrick, who
represents a good deal of the Los
Angeles ball club. Oscar Reichow,
president of that institution, thinks
the same, and the fans of Los Angeles
are sure they never had a better out
fielder.
Good Race Due on Coast.
Harry Williams, president of the
Pacific Coast League, has great ex-
pectations for a successful season.
Since the reorganization of the circuit
in 1926 there is a better arrangement
all around, and when the fun begins,
Williams is sure the ball crowd win
start out in earnest anticipation of a
season which may turn out to be any
body's so far as the pennant is con-
cerned.
In San Francisco there exists an
opinion that Los Angeles will have
it's angelic hands full trying to cap
ture second pennant in succession
and in Los Angeles itself they are
more wary of the Northern clubs than
they were a year ago.

product of the big timber. and he
thinks in big words. 1t Is his opinion
that Tom Turner has put together a
combination that will knock out the
eyes of the boys when 1t comes to the
finish.
Play Game Early and Late.
They play base ball earlier on the
Coast than elsewhere, and they play
it longer. In fact, they play 1t about
all the time.

story of George Kelly and his boy
friends who put up. two bits" apiece
and played for all Or none on Christ

pot to buy feast of California dain-
ties--stone crabs or something or
other like that-in order TO finish the
day properly.
There Is one diamond in San Fran
cisco's Golden Gate Park which should
have monuments erected to the kids
who have gone from it to the East.
Every corner of 1t is historic with the
fame of some player who now Is or

The threat of the club lies in a
