Nihiser began his career in organ

the local pitching staff and the fact
that Nihiser was bothered with a sore
arm during the first half of the sea-

three games in which he worked he
won two and lost the other, after
yielding but three HITS, because of err

Il poets to meet either Jimmy
Maloney or Jack Sharkey in a
title bout next September, he said
here today in discussing Maloney's vic
tory last night over Jack Delaney.
"Maloney is a rough, rugged fellow
who knows the game" said Tunney.
"Sharkey. too. is of an aggressive
type. Those boys ought to stage a
whirlwind battle. / hope they do. /
hope also that there is a decisive
winner.
"Of course, Jack Dempsey, the for
mer champion, is still in the running.
but he hasn't made his position posi-
tive yet. The way it looks now 1t will
be Maloney or Sharkey against whom
I will defend my title in September.
Sharkey meets Mike McTigue soon,
but McTigue, like Delaney, 1 believe,
will find his size against him. Delaney
and McTigue are all right as light
heavyweights, but the old saying, you
know-a good big man can beat a good
little man-still holds good as a gen.
eral rule"
The champion said the Richard elm
nation series is the biggest thing for
a title fight that could have been ar
ranged. The public knows what to ex-
pect, he added, when the winner Is de-
cided.
Tunney admitted that either Shar-
key or Maloney was big enough and
good enough to have a good chance
to grab his title.

that neither can defeat me-"

YOUNG Is WELCOMED
AS CONQUERING HERO
By the Associated Press.

TORONTO, Ontario, February 10.
George Young, Catalina Channel
champion, was welcomed home as a
conquering hero yesterday, but re-
fused to attend a civic luncheon given
in his honor because his former pal,
Bill Hastings, was among the guests.
1t was on Bills decrepit motor
cycle that the youths set forth to
give George a chance at the $4,000
Wrigley prize. Soon after the prize
was won, however, the pair became
estranged and all plans of friend and
city officials to effect reconciliation
today were thwarted by Young. =.
Cheering crowds that greeted him
at the station lined the path of the
17-year-old swimmer along the route
to the City Hall, where he was well
coined by Mayor Thomas Foster.
DIR. Forbes Godfrey. representing
the premier of Ontario, and repre-
sentatives Of sporting business, recre-
ational and social organizations stood
in the snow while the City Hall Mill
tary Band gave program of patri-
otto songs and airs and the champion
was presented with a service of
plate.
After a short speech in which the
young swimmer thanked his friends
for the gift and expressed his pleas
ure at being home, he separated from
the procession with his party and
the mayor drove to the Queens
Hotel. where the luncheon proceeded
without the guest of honor.
Managers of Young said the cham
pion would not be guest at any
function where Hastings was invited.
In the absence of the guest of
honor the civic luncheon developed
into quiet affair. A large banner
placed above the speakers table
bore the words Toronto Welcomes
George Young" Bill Hastings was
accompanied by his father at the
luncheon. No speeches were made.

SUNDAY PAYS A VISIT
TO NATIONALS CAMP

TAMPA, Fla. February 19.-There
is a ball player in the camp of the
Nationals now who is not on the
roster of the club, sbut Is as we'll
known as Walter Johnson or Iris
Speaker. His name is Billy Sunday
and he spent several hours mingling
with members of the fraternity to
which he once owed allegiance.
A star in his own right as an out
fielder back in the days when Clark
Griffith was forging into prominence
on the diamond, Sunday never has
lost interest in the national pastime
and attends games whenever the OPP
portunity affords. The former f1y-chas-
err, who has attained nationwide
prominence as an evangelist since
he discarded his glove and spiked
shoes, is to open a SiX-week revival
here tomorrow and may work out
with the players as a means of
keeping physically fit for his strenu-
Gus activities, which entail two
services a day.
