TEX RICHARD DELAYS
ANNOUNCING BOUT OF
S7RIBLING, SAARKEY
Says He Has Signed Three
Fighters; May Be Strib,
Sharkey, and Jack

Miami, Fla. Dec 28.2-(R-Tcx
Richard has a secret to disclose in
Miami today.
It is that w. L. (Young) Stribling
Of Macon, Ca, will meet Jack Sharkey
of Boston about Feb. Is at Miami
Beach, and that Jack Dempsey will
see the fight as a means of deciding
whether he will meet the winner.
OF course, the New York promoter
may have the cards stacked another
way, and there is the moral support
of Mianians he will interview yet to
be considered, but unless deuceS are
wild the thing is settled.
Ch0kes Sporting Fraternity
En- route to Miami last night Rick
ard cholsed off the Jacksonville. Fla,
sporting fraternity with a statement
that he would disclose his secret in
Miami at 3 p. m. today, and no sooner.
However, he let the scribes know that
he had signed three fighters" This
last between puffs off a huge per-
fecto, which in itself was not without
its choking properties.
So the scribes brilliantly figured it
|all out. Sharkey'S manager an
nounced that the Boston COB had
signed; Pa Stribling said his acrobatic
son would go to Miami to train Jan
Is; and Dempsey left Salt Lake City
with Jerry, Luvadis, his trainer. yes
terday.
Dempsey May Figure
AS for the Dempsey corner Of the
triangle Richard had this to say
somewhat more definitely than his
previous statements:
i don't know Dempsey's plans, but
| II he thinks he can whip the winner
Of the Miami fight I believe he will
go In the ring again. If not he prob
ably will stay in retirement"
All OF which gave rise to specula-
ton as to the place Pauline Uzcudurl
Of Spain might play later. The Strib-
ling Sharkey bout is down as one OF
Richards heavyweight elimination
bouts, If it actually has been arranged
If Uzcudun also gets in one of these
fights Rickard could put him ur
against either Dempsey or the winner
Of the Miami Beach encounter-he l1as
several good alternatives. Richards
announcement today may really dis.
close secret in so far as he already
has said he has signed three fighters.

0SSIE ORWOLL MAY
MAKE F|RSTSACKER

New York, Dec. 28.-Some of the
experts figure that the man to be
given a chance to hold down that
first base job for Connie Mack's club
next summer will be Ossie Orwell.
The reason this belief exists is be-
cause Orwell looked pretty good while
on first base in a few games last year.
Looked better there, some say. than
he did pitching for the AS.
Orwell hit only .306 in "a games
last year, the majority Of which he
appeared in as pitcher or pinch bat
ter. but the big hurler delivered many
OF his blows when they counted.
The fact that the first base Job on
the Philadelphia club seems pretty
much Of an open proposition adds
strength to the thought that Orwell
may be given his chance.

Stranger" Lewis for his heavyweight

coming back until wrestling changed

The crafty Lewis, however, gained
the decision on a default when he

through the ropes and injured him

IOWA LOOMS AS STRONGEST IN
BIG TEN BASKETBALL SCUFFLE
Indiana and Purdue, Co-TitIe-
holders last year, and Wis.
consin Are Among Top
notchers; Hawkeyes Have
Several Stars From Missouri
Valley.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec 28.-There is 60
ing to be an open scramble for baS-
ketball honors in the Big Ten con-
ference this season.
Purdue and Indiana. tied for the
title last season, are among the
favorites, but Iowa Is the outstand-
ing prospect of the lot Wisconsin
and Northwestern are the dark
horses.
Iowa Shows Power
1owa's veteran band Of six footers,
reinforced by some all Missouri
valley conference men who became
eligible this fall and have crowded
regulars of last year off the starting
quintet, looms as one of the biggest
threats. Taken casually as just an
other basketball team, they've de-
veloped in way to indicate they'll
make a real bid for the title.
The old Gold and Blacks most
impressive work thus far has been
its defeat of Don Whites Washing
ton university squad % to IT, These
same Pikers a week before defeated
Indiana's veteran team by a point.
A bit later Iowa romped over a fast
Marquette team 80 to Is, which in
Dictated not only scoring power, but
rather more than modicum Of de-
Tense.
Purple Title Threat
Northwestern, with a victory over
Pittsburgh and another over Notre
Dame at a time when the Wildcats
strength was seriously Slapped by an
epidemic Of flu, indicates the Purple
has decided chance to upset In
diana, or Purdue, both of whom are
on the Northwestern schedule.
Coach Lonberg still has the Job of
picking one forward, while the rum
ming guard position, although ably
handled by Marshall, is under threat
of Hank Bruder, all-state basketball
guard in his high school days. What
was expected to be a weak spot on
the team. the back guard, apparent
ly has been strengthened by the
play of Mundy.
Little has been heard of Wiscon-
sin since their defeat of Pitt, but
the Badgers in that game showed
plenty Of power and under the fiery
Doc Meanwell's coaching have more
than ordinary possibilities.
Indiana Hits Stride
Indiana, after losing to Washing
ton, snapped back to defeat Notre
Dame % to II, which is more in
lire of what is expected from the
Hoosiers. They seem to be swinging
into the same stride with which the
same men swept through the Big
Ten last year.
Purdue also lost one game, falling
before Butler. Butler is an Indiana
school and any Indiana school,
where basketball is the football,
golf and baseball of the state, is
likely to rise up and do things to
any team. At that, Purdue hasn't
given indications Of being the SUI
per-team it was earlier in the sea-
son.
Minnesota beat Carleton and
Drake while both Illinois and Chi
cago scored wins over North Dakota.
On the whole the Big Ten quintets
showed an increase in power, winning
seven OF nine games against some Of
the strongest quintets in the middle
west.
