5000 Boys Teams Expected to Take
Part in Legion Baseball Tourney
Worlds Series for Kid Mines of Country to Be Held;
Lands Promises Financial Support.

Plans for Nation wide COMPETE
ton of boys baseball teams, in
which at least 5000 teams and TO-
900 boys will participate, and which
will end in junior amateur world
series, were made public here today
by Dan Sewers, national director of
Americanism Of the American
Legion, following an announcement
by Judge Lands, high commissioner
of baseball, that organized baseball
would underwrite the expenses of
the competition.
Sewers, who will direct the activ-
ity for the legion, was in Chicago
Tuesday in conference with Lands
and John A. Heydler and E. S. Bar
nard, presidents of the National and
American Leagues, respectively.
The junior baseball teams which
American Legion posts in cities and
towns throughout the country Spon-
sor each year, will be brought to-
gether in tournaments to decide the
champions of each State. These
State champions will meet in ten
regional tournaments, six to be held
in the eastern half of the country
and four in the West.
The regional winners will meet
in all-eastern and all-western tour
nar1ents and the eastern and west
ern champions will clash in the
worlds series.

1927 Stats Faltered
Faltering pitchers tripped up both
clubs in their dash for the cham
iponship last year and the two RI
val leaders are taking. every pre-
caution to prevent the same thing
from happening this season.
Struggling through the first half
Of the 1927 season with a poorly
conditioned staff, the Giants almost
won the pennant by gallant drive
during the last days.
McGraw's pitchers completely
failed him early in the 1927 race.
Once the Giant pitchers struck their
stride, McGraws club looked dan
gerous, but New York had lost too
much ground early in the race to
close the gap.
To Miss HOrnsby's Bat
Additional emphasis will be
placed on the Giants staff the COM
ing season, because the club must
get better pitching to make up for
the punch caused by the absence Of
Rogers Hornsby, the teams leading
hitter in 1927.
The case of the Cubs In 1927 was
just the reverse of the Giants pre-
dicament. The Cubs got off great
and were breezing along in first
place when they started on their
final eastern trip. Charlie Root
collapsed from overwork and the
entire Cub staff exploded.
The Giants have made more eff
fort to strengthen their pitching
staff than any other team in the
league. They have acquired eleven
promising minor league hurlers and
at least five Of them are expected to
add strength to the team.
The Cubs will bank on practically
the same pitchers they did last year
Root, Guy Bush. Sheriff Blake, Hal
Carlson and Bob Osborn are the

Spug Myers
Too Strong
for League
Idaho MauIer K. 0.S Dyer in
Second; La Rose De-
featS Milton.

Spug Myers, Idaho bulldog, is too
good for the local pugilistic league.
Two weeks ago he disposed OF
frankie Osner in a few rounds and
Tuesday night he pushed over Eddie
Dyer in the second stanza Of the
Legion main go at the Armory.
Eddie apparently realized the diff
ference in class and fought in a
manner that indicated the sooner he
got it" the easier it would be on his
physique.
Dyer was saved by the bell in the
opening round when he was flat
when the gong sounded. He went
down again in the second session,
staggered up and then went out for
the evening.

Myers used a body attack and
the PUNK of the Idaho boys fists
could be heard distinctly through
out the crowded Armory. 1t was
said Dyer'S earnings were attached
by squad of attorneys after the
show.
In other bouts Tuesday night, re-
suits were as follows:
l., Tony La Rose outpointed Tommy Milton
In eight rounds.
Larry Pruitt won on points over Kid
Richie in six rounds.
Jimmy Harris defeated Roy Cox in six
rounds.
K: o. Victor knocked out K. o. Brown
in four rounds.
In the feature bout of the Legion
card next Tuesday, Joe Packo, To-
ledo light-heavy, will battle Bobby
Williams, New York.
All Other Scraps Please
All scraps except the main event
on last nights program were inter
esting and worth the money.
In the semi-windup the crowd
favored Milton, but La Rose got out
in front on points and stayed there.
Pruitt and Ritchie staged a whale
of fight and it was lively all the
way. Richie was knocked down
in the fifth round, but recovered and
stayed the limit.
Harris peppered Roy Cox with left
jabS and kept the local lad off bal
ance most of the thine. Harris
proved a crafty glove artist.
