JOHNSON LUCKY TO HAVE
MCBRIDE FOR ASSISTANT
Walter Must Conquer Attack of Illness in Order to
. Take Turn ON Mound-Team Has Batting Power
and an Infield of Possibilities.

! The pitching STAFF Is yet to be strength
ened when the majors begin TO let their
players go. Manmaux and Bentley are
with the team, and both of those old
and experienced pitchers should win
many ball game for Newark this year
with the batting strength they will find
back of them. OF course. Bentley. with
his superior batting. can help win any
game in which he takes part. Man,
maux is In fine condition. and antict-
pateS q more successful season than he
had in 1927.
Players Hopeful of Pennant.
The Newark club believes 1t has
strength enough to win pennant
against the odds that il will have TO face
in the International League, and the
players also are of the opinion that the
International this season will be one
OF the strongest minor league organisa-
tions that ever has been put together,
They look for opposition from the new
Montreal team. from Rochester, Buffalo
and from Toronto. The Newark players
seem to think that Jersey City will be
less strong That might be expected of
Newark, for there has been no Newark
club within the memory of man that
ever has been known TO admit that Jer-
sey City can defeat it. For that matter.
the same sentiment Is entertained by
the fans Of both cities.
Paul Block has been watching his
new Newark ball club in Florida, and
he is proud to think that he has been
able to put together such a represent
tative team in his first year in the
International League. He may well be
proud 1t is quite a feat to get the
most famous Of old time pitchers for
manager and a home run hitter like
Fournier. Some owners are unsble to
get a combination like that IN FIVE
years.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 20.-Apparentlv
there Is to be one heavyweight cham
pionship fight this year. So much mas
come out Of conferences at Miami be-
tween Gene Tunney and Tex Rickard.
York boxing authorities asking Tunney
to name his opponent forthwith.
Gene Tunney and Rickard have
agreed upon title affair to be he'd In
July at a place not yet decided upon.
In the event Rickard abides BY the
wishes Of Tunney. Tom Heeney, the New
Zealander, win be the challenger.
The New York State Athletic Com
mission yesterday wired Tunney at
Miami Beach notifying him that his
six-month period Of grace to settle upon
an opponent would expire on Thursday,
and asked for reply. The commission
Jack Sharkey, Tom Heeney and Johnny
RiSko were on file in that order.
June Plan Is Dropped.
Meanwhile, at Miami Beach, Rickard
has persuaded Tunney to drop plans for
a June bout and decided upon a July
match instead. Rickard announced that
the July struggle would be the only
heavyweight championship Of the year
Rickard declared the decision reached
with Tunney automatically covered the
requirements sought by the New YORK
commission.
"Tunney agreed to fight the man I
select as the best opponent" Rickard
stated. THE fight viii take place in
July. and II Is agreed with the cham
pion that 1t will be the only titular con-
test Of the year. That's all there Il 10
say"
Rickard said he would announce the
challenger shortly, but that he would
not be Jack Dempsey, who Is now listed
as retired" despite feeling that the
Manassa Mauler viii eventually get into
the struggle. AS for Dempsey, q state
ment from him in Los Angeles said, II
have made q good many statements
lately and have nothing more TO say
just now"
Action Not Unanimous.
The action Of the New York commits
sion In requesting Tunney to name an
opponent was not unanimous. Chair
man Farley and Commissioner Muldoon
favored the procedure, while the third
member Of the body. Commissioner
Brewer. objected. claiming that the
commission should keep as far away as
possible from the possibility Of being
placed In the position Of acting as q
matchmaking body.
1t was pointed out that the commits
sion merely notified Tlnney of the ehal-
lengeS on file, and that he was In no
way bound to choose within the ranks
Of the three named. but might take on

Wv VEST PALM BEACH, Fla,
A March 2o.-The Newark club
wv of the International League
when all dressed up for the
season will be the most coll
orf,l minor league outfit in base oaI;.
There is a heap of batting strength
to this Newark team, and the batting
mower will show more two months trom
now than il does at present in the traln-
ING camp. The infield has speed ana
possibilities.
the country is the fact that Walter
Johnson, pitching ace of the Washing
ton Senators for a score Of years, will
this vesr be at the healrn Of the New
ark team in his first fling at the
managerial game Walter has been
cutie i'll at ST. Augustine for several
0avs. The chances are that his physi-
cal condition has been more run down
than most of his friends realized. His
trouble started with the "fiu." which
has made so much trouble for other
athletes.
Now the big train" is recovering and
In a week or SO hopes TO be back 10
form. AS manager Of the team waiter
has named George Mcbride to act as
roach. That is fortunate choice be-
cause Mcbride is a mighty well verSed
old timer,
Johnson's Illness may deter him from
pitching now and then. as he thought
he might. IF he gets back on his feet
he will be found on the plate some
dAy pitching for his team, for 1t Is
impossible to believe that the Big
Train" can keep away from base ball
aTl Of one season when he really has
the call TO pitch game.
OutfeId Appears Strong.
In the outfeld for Newark there are
Carlyle, Lee and Johnny Conlin. Carlyle
can hammer the ball a mile, Lee al
ways has been o clever batter, and
Coniin is a high-class outfelder, who
would have been in major legaue base
BAH long ago IL he had been able to
bat better.
At nrst base Fournier plays about as
usual and viii bat home runs about
as usual. He has not been working
very long in Florida, but his batting
skill is evident now. In the 1nterna-
rional League. Fouruier may be COM
petitor for the batting championship
and that will help Newark immensely.
The inheld has a barrel OF strength
in fielding on the left side. Kingdom

anything that he can touch and his
combination stops and throws are as
good now as they were when he hrst
broke into the American League with
Cleveland and promised 70 be the neld-
inc sensation Of his time. Had ne
matted as he can field, he would rate
with the great third basemen OF al
time.

T@RACK preparation Is under way
at Western High School under
direction of Coach G. r. Moore.
Indications are that the boys
from across the creek the COM
ing season may garner their share OF
points in the field events, but, perhaps,
will not set the world on fire in the
running department. Moore, like some
other high school track coaches, Is
handicapped by lack of facilities. Right
now he has his boys working IN the
gym and corridors of the building and
once the weather is warm enough VIII
take them outside.
Though there is squad OF more
than 40 drilling 1t appears that Bell,
who showed his wares last season. Is
lust about the only one who now can
be figured as q possible point-getter in
the running events the coming season.
However, Moore says he really cannot
tell what he has until he has seen the
bows working outside for a while.
There is considerable material OF
tried worth available for the field
events, however, including Cook and
Park, weight beavers; Steel, high
Jumper and Fouts, pole vaulter. Buck
lev, who scored the only points West
ern counted in the 1927 Spring title
meet, Is now at Dewitt. Buckley placed
second in the broad jump.

baugh, the mighty little man
who socks a golf ball the proveroial
mile, as far and sometimes fartner tnan
the player with the diversified shoulders
who holds down the professional berth
at the club where Diffenbaugh serves
as caddie master and assistant profess
sional.
Which is by way Of saying that the
mere matter of size has little to do with
the business of shifting a golf ball far
and true. Out in the wind-sWept

and ease OF manner of one who has

other a stocky STRIPPING. short and wiry.

the big mans vest, on his toes all the
time, anxious to get ahead in the line
OF work he has chosen and doing 1t.
Is Unusual Contrast.
Seldom Is such a contrast afforded
between two good golfers as there Is
at Indian Spring today between J.
Monro Hunter, towering 9 feet 5l2
inches, and George Diffenbaugh, who
measures only mite more than feet
from the bottom OF his spikes TO the
top of his head. Hunter comes to In
dian Spring with quite reputation as
a long hitter, q reputation acquired IN
the heat OF combat with the best pro-
fessional golfers of the West. Diffen-
baugh has acquired more than local
reputation as a punisher Of golf balls
by the simple expedient OF putting
every pound of his 1870 behind the pei
let and every inch of his height back OF
the clubhead. Indian Spring members
are looking forward TO the day when
the course Is dried and this pair get out
to see who really is the longest hitter.
And not few lean to the little man
who winds up so far and lets go like
coiled spring.
Hunter is an unusual man In many
ways. A natural athlete. holder OF sew

height His waist Is aStoundingly
small when his shoulders are considered
and his hands are the size OF two OF

Notwithstanding his unusual equip
Hunter holds to o peculiar theory about
this game OF many theories and second
guesses. He claims that the wrists and
hands have very little to do with driv-
ing a golf ball: that the body does the
work and that the hands and wrists
function only because the body pulls
them around In Its roll or pivot, or
twist, or whatever 1t may be called.
Now Bob Barnett of Chevy Chase has
a theory that the body Is used only as
the central point in q fulcrum, the
end Of the lever. in fact, and that the
wrists and hands do the work. Two
more dissimilar views could hardly be
found Yet when Barnett was asked
the other day what he thought OF the
Hunter theory. he replied: Perhaps
his theory is as good an explanation
as any other"

the most thrilling finish yet recorded
as the referee and timers whistle

charging foul which spelt victory for
the Juniors by a single point at lilo;
the other ending the game.
While every eye watched the basket

Then, Just as the timer raised the
whistle to her lips, two Freshmen

foul on which Miss Tolson made good.
Although defeated by that one point,
the Freshmen played the game OF their
