Cermak was quoted as saying he
would stage the fight assisted by Jim
Mullen, Chicago promoter, and prom
inent city officials, in conjunction with
the democratic national convention
which they hope to bring there in
June. A percentage of the fight profits
would go into the community chest
fund for the benefit of Chicago's poor
Cermak said it was Tunney's belief
that the option Tex Rickard holds on
his services for 1923 would not bar the
match
The World said that Tunney had
been offered guarantee of $650,0OO
by the western promoter for the match
with Paolino. The paper also quoted
him as saying he expected to fight
Dempsey again here in September for
.Rickard. Tom Heeney, New Zealand
slugger, would whip Jack Sharkey of
Boston, in their elimination match
here January 1S, and then fall before
Dempsey's attack in an outdoor bout
here in June, Gene predicted.

TUNNEY'S Def
.STIRS SPORTS
TO SPECULATINC

NEW YORK, JAN 5 (R)-Smoke from
the conflagration Gene Tunney started
in fistic circles when he announced
that he would fight twice in 1928 and
already had received one offer Of
$125000 more than Tex Rickard would
pay for his services today, drifted as
far west as the Pacific coast.
In reply to story in the New
York Evening World which asserted
that Genes high offer had come from
Jack Doyle, Los Angeles promoter, who
intended to match the heavyweight
king with Paolino Uzcudun for title
defense in the Wrigley ban park there
next June, both Tunney and the pro-
moter maintained "there is nothing to
it,"
Some credence, however, was lent to
the story by the announcement of Al
Mayer, manager of the Basque heavy
weight, who said that Paolino had been
matched to fight George Godfrey, the
current "black menace" in Los An
geles either February IA or 81. Fight
followers saw in this declaration an
indication that Paolino victory might
lead to title fight under the direc-
ton either of Doyle or promoter such
as Jim Croffroth, Tijuana sportsman.
From Chicago came the declaration
of the Herald and Examiner that DEL
.inite plans are being formulated by
Anton J. Cermak, president of the
Cook county board, Tor title match
next June in Soldier field, where
Tunney' successfully warded off Jack
Dempsey's come back assault last fall.

BISBEE CUNTS !.
IN BASKETBALL
HERE TONIGHT

The Douglas high school basket
shooters play their first conference
game of the season with Bisbee here
tonight Little is known of the Bisbee
representatives as they have not been
in action this year; several of them
had experience last year during the
last half of the season. Johnston,
Vercellino and Gutierrez are veterans
and should serve as a nucleus for a
fast aggregation. M s,
The Douglas team played Deming
high school last Friday and looked
good. Various weak points showed up
occasionally but these have been, to a
large extent, corrected by the coaches
during the past week. The team this
year is fast and aggressive and is ex-
pected to make a very creditable show
ing in the conference.
|. Last year Douglas won the confer
ence title and hopes to repeat this
year though it is. mot making predic-
tiof1s this early in the season. The
game will be fast and close, probably
the best game of the season as BiSbee
and Douglas always take things seri-
ously when they meet. The second
string men will have an opportunity
to show their stuff also as a game has
been scheduled between the two Sec
ond teams.
4 The second team game will start at
7:15, the first team game at 8 O'Clock.
Professor Larson, of ARIZONA university,
will officiate. There will be dance

ately after the game.

YANKS CORRAL
BEST IVORY IN
MINOR LEAGUES

NEW YORK, Jan. 5 (P-The New
York Yankees, as a result OF their
latest deal in baseball ivory" have
corraled three fifths OF the outstand-
ing minor league infield prospects
of 1927, in the opinion OF close
observers.
Major league scouts who combed
the bushes last season came back
generally with reports that fewer than
half a dozen irfielderS showed suf-
ficient promise to warrant any heavy
bidding for their service.
The most eagerly sought were the
"Keystone Kids Of the Oakland club
of the Pacific Coast league -Lyn
Larry and Jimmy Reese whose pur-
chase for an estimated $150,00O was
announced yesterday by the Yankees
for 1929 delivery.
The other prize bought up by the
Yankees is Gene Robertson, st. Paul
third baseman and veteran OF con-
siderable major league experience,
who has shown all indications OF
staging a big comeback Robert
SON, in fact. is. likely to, be a strong
candidate for Joe Dugan's post in
the Yankee inner Gordon this spring.
The two Chicago clubs have OBJ
tanned the other two outstanding
inner workers. The White Sox parted
with the equivalent of $12S,O0O for
Clfaliaer CiSsell, of the Portland, Ore,
club. Setting a new record for pur-
chase Of an ilidividsaal minor Lacquer.
The Cubs landed Freely Mcguire,
Toledo second baseman, and another
highly touted performer, who IS ex-
pected to fill the shoes of ''Sparky'
Adams in the Chicago intield.
The Cubs, incidentally, are under
stood to have offered Oakland a
fancy price for Larry alone. but the
coast club turned it down in prefer
ence to making a deal for the. sale
of the two stars together.

PASSED MAN ON SECOND

When Niles rounded first base he
was travelling in high, carrying his head
in the air, tilted backwards. He passed
Danzig between first and second like
an express train slips by freight on
a side track.
! It SO happened that the judgment
of Niles was correct. The right fielder
failed to reach the ball and it carried
on to the fence.
/ The ball was relayed hurriedly to the
infield but Niles was in considerably
ahead of the ball.
Walking back to the bench, well sat-
isfied with his effort, Niles received
the shock of his life when his team
tmates informed him that Danzig only
Preached second on the play that Niles
fhad passed him between first and sec
ond, and, of course, was automatically
out for so doing.
| You can well imagine what Niles
later said to Danzig. UnquestiOn-
ably that near home run was the
longest single have ever seen in
baseball.

WAS GOAT, NOT HERO

Drama as well as comedy featured
the most amusing situation I have ever
witnessed on the ball field.
!. 1t is drama when, with your team a
run behind and a runner on first, you
hit what you believe is home run
putting your club ahead.
1t is comedy when you later discover
that you didn't make, a home run and
instead of being hero, you are re-
gartied as the goat" because of dumb
base running, alleged or real

pet slogans of baseball In the par
ticular instance which I am about tC
relate, the batsnar literally kept his
head up and thereby failed to keeE
his eye on the ball.
It is customary with great many
fast runners after they once get into
high, to- run with their heads tilted
sligltly upwards Harry Niles, one OF
the fastest runners in the history OF
baseball, was of that type.
lI4leS, because of his headS-up
style Of running, produced one of }
the most IudicrouS situations I
have ever seen on the ball field.
4fE *e4a
HOW 1T HAPPENED
This style Of running, peculiar tt
Niles, caused him to receive credit fol
only single and not home run or
terrific drive that carried to the
fence. Unquestionably there never wa!
a longer single since the origin of base
ball.
Niles was with the Boston Red So,
at the time, the game being staged a
washington. On. the, Boston club wa
a recruit by the name of Danzig, wht
played first base. His belief in safety
first methods created a situation tha'
/ I believe is without parallel.
With Boston one run behind, late il
the game, the eighth inning, I believe
Miles came to the bat with Danzig OF
first base. One man was out at thu
time. Since two runs were needed tt
put the Red Sox in the lead, Nile
flashed the signal for the ,hit-and-ru1
play on the first ball pitched.
His effort was long drive to righ
field, which Danzig after getting undeI
way with the pitch, decided might b.
caught, and stopped dead when within
about 20 feet of second to await de-
velopments.
| Niles, who had hit the ball, early
! made up his mind that no one was
going to catch it. The drive looked
like a home run to him.
