 FOR HARD BOUTS TONIGHT
Sprinxied Invaders Seek Fisc Honors at Expense of Connecticut Aces - Heavyweghts to Furnish the Features in Final Bout of Tournament-Clinch and Vic Morley to Resume Feud - Larrivier to Fight Finh-Total of Ten Matches on Program.

Springfield is sending its team Of amateur boxers to this city tonight in quest of flstic flonors at the ex- pense of a number of Connecticut simon-pure aces. The invaders are recognized as one of the best fight teams in this section and many of the individual members have ap- peared in tournaments in this city on various occasions this year and last.
 Connecticut has lined up the pick of it's amateurs to meet the in- vaders and it is a problem to figure which has the better advantage. A heavyweight bout wherein the fight CTS scale 1S0 pounds heads the list of 10 bouts carded. Mike Raefell0 of Springfield. @ terrific puncher and good boxer will clash with either Barney Fox or Joe Hessel, both of whom hail from Windsor Locks. A real heavyweight scrap in the simon-pure ranks is 8 rare oc- currence and tonight's battle has all the ear marks of being a real scrap.
 The Larrivier brothers of Water- bury, members of the famous club of that city. are scheduled to appear in two fea- lures of the tournament. Leo, Nrec- ognized as the leading welterweight of the state, is slated to battle Bill Lieberman, the Springfield speed merchant. Lucien, the middleweight. is carded to trade punches with Herman Fink of Hartford. Both of these boys have been doing a great deal of talking about the other but tonight is their first meeting in some time.

Clinch got verdict over Morley after terrific battle in Windsor Locks a few weeks ago and al- though Morley wasn't entered for this weeks tournament, as soon as he heard of Clinch's entry, he ask ed to be mached with him. 1 Two speed kings of the ring. Joe Dignal of Waterbury and Marine Pagoni of Springfield. should furnish some fancy boxing in their match. Both are clever and fast and both possess rapier-like left hands. They haven't met before but both have appeared in this city many times
 Five other bouts are scheduled to be staged in the course of the tour namept making q total card of 10 bouts. The first bout will be started at S:30 o'clock sharp with the others following in order ,The weight classes range from 110 to 18O pounds and the list of bouts ahould furnish action in every division.

M'GRAW UNABLE TO GIVE UP JOB
'Itk N,polspa" VIII H,Is to Pick Anoth6 Successor

New York. Jan. ls @-lt appears now that if John McGraw has any idea of grooming successor to him. self as manager of the Giants he must look for some one besides 2 second baseman.
 The two keystone workers who have bsen picked in resent years as heirs apparent. to the McGraw throne both have gone away from here on short notice. circumstance that lends coloF to the expert theory that the money interests behind the Giants desire to keep the Little Napoleon" lashed to the helm.
 Just four years ago. Frank Frisch. a product of McGraw's development ing skill. was publicly picked out as the man upon whom the veterans mantle would fall. But the Fordham Flash developed what AcGraw re- garded as temperamental tendencies. He was traded to St. Louis in the deal that brought the great Rogers Hornsby to the Metropolitan fold as captain and new Illogical successor" to McGraw.
 Hornsby. in an interview with the Associated &Press late last season said:
 . T would rather work for McGraw than any other man in baseball. I have the utmost respect for his judgment and methods. I think. in return. he has confidence in me. Our ideas run along the same line. McGraw is . fighter. He has for gotten more baseball than l -7ill ever know. It's all business with him. That's what ] like. When McGraw issues an order no one Ques- tions 1t. He may be wrong but if he is, he will take the blame."
 This was typical or seeming har- mony of thought and action between the veteran and his field leader. In view of such relationship 1t Is difficult for observers to reconcile the deal that sends Hornsby to the Braves, leaving the Giants without a seasoned field player as well as . second baseman of known quality. It also leaves tho Giants without O Grown Prince" unless the veter- an coach, Roger Bresnahan, is ele- vated to that position. The old back stop is to have charge of the battery squad at training camp but this can hardly be construed as menace to McGraw's control, such as the club owners apparently desired to avoid by getting rid of the more aggressive Hornsby.
 Bresnahan. if he has any mana gerial ambitions, has the advantage of not being second baseman.
 McGraw will be b5 years old next April. His health has not alway. been of the best in recent years but the Giants may reasonably expect him to retain active charge of the team for five to ten years more. l Connie Mack, tall tutor of the Ath. letics, will be 66 this year. but if he
 has any thoughts of retiring, ht
 hasn't aired them in public.
 Wilbert Robinson. Brooklyn pilo'
 and team mate of A1cGraw's or
 the old Baltimore Orioles, will cele
 brate his s1st birthday this year.

SHARkEY.HEENEY BOUT 0N TONIGHT.
 rF E1Gob From Boston lade 1 FaEerits in Betting Odds

New York, Jan. 1s R-Makins his first ring start since being knock ed horizontal by Jack Dempsey last summer. Jack ShArkey resumes his heavyweight title pursuit tonight in a 12 round bout against Tom Heeney of New Zealand. in Madison Square Garden.
 The ex-garrulous ex-gob from Boston Is favorite although many boxing followers are cautiously with holding opinions. Sharkey is expect. ed to to the choice by 1-2j to l when he steps into tho arena at 10 o'clock for the prospect of punching his way into championship affair with Gene Tunney.
 Tex Rickard hopes to match the winner against Tunney but he an. nounced that hts decision will de- pend on the swing of the battlers Dempsey's reputation for ruin ing his opponents has created doubt as to what showing may be expect ed from Sharkey. The terrific body punches which the Bostonian ab- sorbed from Dempsey continue in the discussion.
 Physicians said that Sharkey was in fine condition. even better than when he faced Jim Maloney and Dempsey. To outward appearances. he was not harmed permanently in his clash with the Manassa mauler. Among Sharkey's accomplishments are victories over Harry Wills. George Godfrey and Maloney. Heeney's record includes two en- of which was in the Spaniard's favor and the other was draw. Both de- cisions were unpopular. Heeney has a victory over Johnny Risko to his credit, however. and Rkko con- quered Pauline.
 | Sharkey was matched to fight Heeney several weeks ago but the bout was postponed due to an injury to his left hand received in training. That injury has now mended nicely. however, according to all reports and l will not trouble the Bostonian to- night.
 In a ten round semi-hnal Joe sekyra, Indianapolis light heavy weight. meets Yale Okun of New York. In another bout the same distance, Sunny Joe Williams of Cali fornia will stack up against Lou Bo- gash of Bridgeport.
