today was the newest ring sensation
to rise out of the west.
The youth is Jackie Fields, tire

the ten-round beating he gave Young
Jack Thompson, negro contender for
the welterweight title, last night
may have placed him in line for a
title bout soon.
Fields handed the negro, con-

Of his career. Thompson has been
matched for title bout with Dundee
in New York November is. but Gig
Rooney, Fields manager, previously
declared he had received a letter
from Jess McArdle, New York
matchmaker, indicating willingness
to pit Fields instead Of Thompson
against the champion. provided
Fields defeated the negro contender.
Fields pummeled his dusky op-
ponent with : whiting body attack
and short lefts and rights to the
face to win seven rounds. Thomp-
sons rallies in the sixth and sew

sions, while the fifth was even.

Achieved Brilliant
NORTH DAKOTA
SENDS ; STARS
TO MINNESOTA

North Dakota has sent three
freshmen football stars to the Uni
versity of Minnesota this fall who
may follow in the steps of their
North Dakota predecessors. Arnie
Oss, Ollie Aas, Doc Platou, and
Freddie Hovde.
They are Gerald Griffin, red
headed fullback from Devils Lake
high school: Jimmy Myers, Grafton
high school quarter and halfback;
and Ralph Platou, Fargo high school
end and brother of the famed Doc
Platou. The elder Platou was cap
tain of Minnesota's conference
championship basketball team and
track star a decade ago.
The three North Dakota lads, all
of whom have reported for football,
are placed among the prominent
contender for positions on the en-
bryo eleven by the Gopher coaches.
Griffin, besides being a good back
and defensive man on the gridiorn,
is a good basketball guard and a
specialist with the shot put. He was
the whole Devils Lake football team
in 1927, until he got a bad kick on
the head when the Satans met Grand
Forks.
Jimmy Myers, lanky blond from
the Walsh county city, is also good
basketball player. He was a men,

team for three years.

bination, to Play Halves

Chicago, Oct. 2.-R Another
one-crushing machine which will
gather devastating momentum as
the season advances is Minnesota's
threat to its Big Ten gridiron rivals
this fall.
Gone are several of last years
stars, among them Herb Joesting,
the pile-driving fullback who romped
through, over, and around the oppo-
sition to make Minnesota one of the
nations most powerful elevens. but
into their moleskins have stepped q
new crop of ball luggers and line
men who promise to write another
saga in football achievement for the
Maroon and Old Gold.
Coach "Doc" Spears, at times as
glum as Bob Zuppke of Illinois, has
met with several setbacks so far this
season, the principal one being ineli-
gibility of Harold Barnhardt, the
chunky little half, who was one Of
the best blocking backs in the middle
west in 1926 and 1927.
At Joesting's post one of the best
possibilities in years has sprung up
"a brawny youth from the north
woods, Bronko Nagurski, a convert
ed tackle, who has been the sensa-
ton Of the Gopher training camp.
The big Nag" is fast, and to date
Coach Spears, has been unable to
throw up line big and fast enough
to stop his rushes. Another good
fullback possibility is a sophomore,
Ed Westphal of Little Falls, who
has 2O6. pounds of power and speed.
In Fred Hovde, understudy to
Quarterback Shorty" Almquist last
year, Spears has q capable pivot
man, but he is planning to use him
as a signal-calling half to act as
running mate to Art Pharmer, q vet
eran. Hovde and Pharmer have
formed a reversible passing COM
bination that has worked many sue
cessful aerial gains in practice. Sew
eral likely candidates are out for
quarterback.
Unlike most conference teams, the
Gophers anpear to have q strong
line, although reserve strength is
puzzling Coach Spears. Tanner and
Haycraft, who developed rapidly to-
ward the end Of the 1927 campaign,
are back at the wings, while Captain
George Gibson has one guard po-
sition cinched. Gibson may be out
Of the game for two weeks. how
ever, as he fractured q small bone in
his left hand. Les Pulkfabek, sub
on last years eleven, is one of the
prospects for the other guard. The
tackles may be. q weak spot in the
line, but there, too, Spears has
plenty Of good material. Wayne
Kakela, fast, shifty youth, looks
best at center.
Coach Spears biggest work is
that his men will be slow to round
into form. The Gophers open theft
season Saturday against Creighton,
after which they clash with six con-
ference. opponents and the Haskell
Indians on successive week-ends.
They meet Purdue, Chicago and In
diana at home, and Iowa, Northwest
ern and Wisconsin on foreign fields.

ATHLETIC LEFT
HANDLER WINS II
STRAIGHT TILTS
Walter Johnson and Joe Wood
Have Each Won is Consecu-
tive Contests
ARE RIGHT HANDERS
Rube Vanguard, in 1912, Cop.
ned His First 10 Starts for
Giants
Ry BILLY EVANS

When Lefty Grove of the Athletics
recently chalked up his great run of
ID straight victories he not only
came within two of tying the Amer
lean league record Of Is (held
jointly by Walter johnson and joe
Wood, but he also gained the dis
tinction of being the first southpaw
ever to reach that figure in the
junior organization.
Moreover, Groves achievement
has been surpassed by but one left
handler in modern major league
play. RUDE Marquard, while pitch
ing for the Giants in 1912, COPIED
his first 10 starts, the outstanding
performance of big-time COMPETE
ton.
Oddly enough, the National and
American league high marks all
were established the same year,
Johnson and Wood, like Marquard,
coming through with their Is in q
row in 1912.
Outside of Marquard and Grove,
the two best southpaw winning
streaks l recall were those turned
in by Joe Boehling of Washington
in 1911 and Harry Krause of the
Athletics in 1909. Boehling copied
II in succession, while Krause
grabbed 10. Strangely, too, each
chalked up his string in his debut
year in the majors. Krause, in fact,
was a sensation, winning the first
10 games in which he was on the
mound for the Macks.
Quite few hurlers have won IL
or more games in a row but, except
for Marquard and Grove, all have
been right-handers. Dazzy Vance,
for instance, took Is straight while
twirling for the Dodgers in 1924;
Jack Chesbro copied IA with the old
New York Highlanders in 1904;
Johnson won IA in 1918; Chief
Bender annexed the same number
with the Athletics in 1914; and Ed
Reulbach had IA with the Cubs in
1909.
In 1924 johnson won Is straight,
rs did Stanley Coveleskie for the
same Washington club in 1926.
Chesbro with the Pirates in 1902
grabbed IL in a row. These are the
outstanding winning streaks Of mod
ern major league competition.
Thus, going back more than q
quarter Of a century, IL times have
big league hurlers won IL or more
games in successions OF these, eight
were American leaguers. Johnson
with three and Chesbro with two
rank as the only ones to enjoy more
than ~ne big winning streak.
Getting back to Grove. it can be
said without fear Of contradiction
that much of Lefty's s,iccess during
the last two seasons has been due
to. his acquiring control. When
Grove came to the American league
in 1925 he was one of the widest
pitchers in the circuit. He passed
131 batters in Is games that year.
Last season he walked but Is in
81, less than two to the fracas. This
campaign his control also has been
good.
And when Grove can put the ball
where he wants to he's = hard fellow
to beat. Control has done much to
keep such chaps as Alexander at Al
and Quinn at 43 in the majors lone
after their arms lost much Of the
old effectiveness. And control, or Al
least . marked Improvement in get.
ting the ball over the plate, ha,
played no little part in Groves two
successful campaigns in 1927 ant
1923.
