By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, March I2.--Jack
Sharkey of Boston. who already has
made two unsatisfactory attempts to
prove himself the logical challenger for
Gene Tunncy's crown, will so into the
elimination lists for the third time to-
night against Johnny Risko. the Cleve-
land baker boy. in a i5-round match
In Madison Square Garden. The bout
Is scheduled for 10 pm. eastern time.
The Boston boxers fame, brought to
the peak by his knockout victory over
Harry Wills, went into partial
eclipse when he was Knocked out by
Jack Dempsey in the seventh round
at the Yankee Stadium last July.
Gets Another Chance.
After Dempsey failed TO regain the
title from Tlnney in Chicago, Tex
Rickar6 began the roundup of likely
1928 opponents for the champion and
Sharkey was included. SharkeyS next
chance was against Tom Heeney, the
New Zealand blacksmith. but the best
the ex-Sa;lor could do was to earn a
l2-round draw.
Observers then expressed the opinion
that Sharkey had again eliminated him
self, but his. pugilistic star twinkled
once more when Jack Delaney lost to
Heeney in another colorleSs 15-round
encounter which seemingly failed to
produce a title contender favorable TO
RicEard.
Thus Sharkey comes to the eliinina-
ton ring against the Clevelander with
a championship bout certain in the
event he acquits himself in impressive
fashion.
Heavy odds are being quoted on
Sharkey to win. some at Is to 5, these
being based principally on the fact that
the Hub boxer easily outpointed Risko
in their first fight but at that time
Risko was novice while Sharkey had
been a professional for more than a
year.
Risko Possesses Punch.
Risko had punching ability and en-
durance although he is considerably
lacking in ring science in comparison
with Sharkey. Some of the boxing
experts believe that Risko has an eX-
oellent chance to defeat his rival par
ticularly if Sharkey can be drawn into
slugging exchange as he was in the
Dempsey fight.
The boxers will enter the ring on
even terms Of weight with Sharkey
scaling I91 pounds when he concluded
training and Risko slightly more than
100.
II Risko can land a haymaker on the
Bostonian jaw, Cleveland perhaps will
send forth for the first time challeng-
er for the heavyweight title. Station

Analysis is Made
Of Vardon's Style
BY SOL METZGER.

Harry Vardon, the old master.
often styled the father of American
golf. had full control over his wooden
shots. He could hit them straight or
impart either a slice or hook when
either was needed. AS present-day
courses demand control Of the flight
curve of the ball far more than did
the old style cross-bunkered ones
prevailing in the heyday Of his links
career. it is pertinent that present.
day golfers give heed to Vardofl's
methods
To hit straight Vardon placed the
face Of the club at stance just back
of the ball and at right angles TO
the direction he intended hitting IL.
But If he wished to get hook he

would toe it in bit. That Is, the
toe of the head would be farther
forward than the heel. The heel Of
the head is the end In which the
shaft is inserted. II he wished 70
slice the heel would be farther for
ward on the line than the toe This
placing OF the face gave the desired
result from the same swing.
If you swing in the same groove
and toe in the club at stance it will
DC toed in at the top. When this
clubface makes contact It cuts across
the ball from inside the line of fight
TO the outside. The resulting spin Is

Good thing to remember II you have
mastered your swing until il follows

SAN ANTONIO, March 12.-Detroit,
reacting to diet of hard work and a
supposedly secret training tonic found
in all the Western camps this year,
should win more games in 1923 than
1t did in 1927. How many more Is a
problem-but, at least enough more to
make the Tigers fighting first division
contender causing trouble for the East.
The team has pitching strength when
it is ready. 1t needs to develop two
steady pitching winners. Then it will
90 on with more confidence. Moriarty
Is sure that he has a better outfit than
he had year ago. He has improved
the speed of the team by getting
more life and dexterity into his in
field. Likewise. the Detroits have po-
tential batting strength in their out
field that 1t will not be surpassed by any
outfleld in the league except possibly
New York.
New Training Wrinkle.
Just as in other camps of the West
this season, the aggregation here thinks
that it has q new wrinkle In training
tonics. There was suspicion Of
sauerkraut juice in the air at Paso
Robles. Some said it was sulphur.
There was more than a suspicion at
Catalina, where both bottles and cans Of
cabbage were found.
Here the Detroit players shamelessly
expose this cabbage Juice at their break
fast table, extolling its supposed vir-
tues at the same time they're telling
you to keep the secret from the East.
But other things are rejuvenating the
Detroits.
Marty McManus, once with the
Browns, always a good ball player when
the world smiled for him. Is apt to
make the third-base job a steady one.
Last year Moriarty. the manager, who's
more than manager, being student
Of the game, ventured his belief that
McManus was as natural a third base
man as any player he knew. Saturday
afternoon he played third for Detroit
against Minneapolis and put in more
dash than any third sacker Detroit has
had in recent years. More than that,
he went to bat FIVE times and made
five as beautiful hits as Texas has seen
for quite a while.
Warner Is the other third baseman.
but McManuS and Tavener worked
skillfully together. There had been mis-
givings as to whether Tavener would
be fixed to play this season because
OF an accident to one OF his fingers
last year. The misgivings have van
ished. Tavener should be a better
shortstop this year than last. and that
means he will be one of the great short
stops Of the American League. Geh-
ringer. Tavener and McManus on the
infield assure a more promising out
look than year ago.
Another factor for the teams success
is developing in the work Of Shea. the
catcher. Last year he was taken from
California with every assurance that he
was one of the best catchers the Pacific
Coast League had produced. He did
not play very we'll. due to illness. This
Spring his style has improved. Moriarty
had no. particular fault to find with
Bassler. who was permitted TO go to
| the coast after long service. except a
general slowing up. He was convinced
that Shea would come through this year
and added Hargrave. a young man who
/ has caught well In the East.

Team Meets Purple

Evanston, Ill.,, Nov. 24.-(P)-A
Dartmouth football team, shell
Of the powerful Green eleven of other
years, comes west today to meet the
tricky Northwestern team before 5O,-

In 1925 Dartmouth came to Chi
cago and ran over Chicago Univer-
sity as they had ridden over all other
opposition that year. The 1923 team
is "just another football outfit"
The past season has been the most
disastrous in Dartmouth's long grid
iron history. 1t has been encourage
ing to Northwestern, where Dick
Hanley Of Haskell fame is complet-
ing his second year as coach.
The Big Green team in twenty
seven football seasons has won 179
games, lost 40 and tied IL. Only
Yale Of the big eastern teams has
escaped defeat at the hands of Dart
mouth. In only four years has the
Hanover aggregation lost more than
one game. tss
Northwestern started slowly but
improved with each game, reaching
the peak Of its play in games against
Minnesota and Purdue which the
Purple won.
Dartmouth alumni will meet here
before the game. They have re-
served 10000 seats in Dyche sta
dunn.

referred to woman physician Ia
the maternity and infant hygiene

mother to consult her own family
doctor.
1t is one Of the rules Of the bureaus
not to give any medical treatrent
or advice in individual cases. brs to
help parents keep their children well
by proper feeding, care and observ-
ance Of the necessary rules Of hy-

Until the creation Of the bureau,
welfare workers, who were constant

with which farmers obtained help in
