|. New York, Jan. 12.-lR-Unsat-
isfied with the official statements
promulgated by New York Giants
Headquarters, baseball experts con-
tinued guessing today as to why
Rogers Hornsby was sent to Boston
for two comparatively unknown
youngsters.
Officially, the trade which brings
Frank Hogan, promising catcher,
and Jimmy Welsh, outfielder, to the
Giants in exchange for a fine Sec
ond basenan and one Of the greatest
hitters the game has ev known,
was "made for the best interests"
of the Giants and ito avoid any fu-
ture conflict in management" of
the club.
That was the substance Of two
statements issued by the Giants
powers that be. The first was over
the signatures Of both President
Charles A. Stoneham and Manager
John McGraw. The second, by
Stoneham alone, was intended as q
further explanation" Of the deal.
The sports writer's contended that
the only fault with Mr.. Stoneham's
explanation" was that it didn't
explain" If some managerial con.
flict was to be feared, they ask, why
did McGraw, when he was i'll, appoint
Hornsby as acting manager during
the hottest part Of the National
League pennant chase last summer?
Few, if any, Of the experts ac-
copied the official" explanation at
its face value. Hornsby, oimself, in
st. Louis denied he had any trouble
with McGraw or had attempted to
"undermine" the ''little Napoleon"

ager was signed.
When the team failed to come up
to expectations, reports Of dissension
developed. The plan was criticized
and soon all stock owned by the
players was called in by the club.
A clash growing out Of the dis
agreements resulted in departure
of one of the erstwhie player-own-
ers, an old favorite who had been

DEMURE SHARKEY
STARTLES C0MISH
With RETICENCE
I Think l Will VIM Whispers
Jack, Pounding Arm
Chair
BY EDWARD j. NEIL
ASSOCIATED Press Sport Writer)


New York, Jan. 12.-lF-An air
of patient silence hung heavy today
about Jack Sharkey, whose New
Year resolution of mo more blood
and thunder" outbursts excluded
even a prediction as to W t dire
happenings would be visited upon
Tom Heeney in the Madison Square
Garden tomorrow night.
Accustomed as the public is to
Sharkey's loud speaking, his audi
cnce was totally unprepared for the
almost demure edition Of the Boston
heavyweight who trekked into New
York to report for examination by
the New York state athletic COM
mission. Questioned as to the out
come of his 12-round melee with the
brawny New Zealander, Jack only
smiled and said in a small voice:
Il think l will win." He felt quite
call right"
But through the veil Of reticencc
that has fallen so suddenly over the
massive form, there came occasional
flashes Of the old Sharkey-thc
cocky youth-who gave the eye" to
ancient Mike McTigue and Jimmy
Maloney, and even tried to stare out
Of countenance Jack Dempsey, the
old Manassa Mauler himself before
falling before the former cham
pion's sledge-like body ramming in
the Yankee Stadium last summer.
Sharkey Laughs
"Why should l spend thousands
of dollars training for little guy
like Heeney if l intended to run out
few days before the fight" Shar-
key demanded, pounding o, t e edge
of chair the left hand fractured
in training for the ORIGINAL match
with Heeney, postponed from late
in 1926.
II should give up 60 grand for
fighting him? Oh, no! no! no."
Then Jack offered to hit anybody
in the place with the left just to
show that it was in perfect working
order. After deep silence all pres
ent agreed that Sharkey's hand was
faultless and there was no demon
stration.
Sharkey has no agreement with
Richard for any fight to follow the
Heeney match, Manager Buckley de-
clared, and there will be no talk of
fight with Tunney until the OBJ
staclc just ahead has been cleared.

Jockeys Dogs Fail

London, Jan. 12.-(AP)-Steve
Donoghue, the famous jockey, has
gone in for a greyhound racing.
During the horse racing season
Donoghue had no time for any other
sport as he. was riding nearly every
day, but the day after the running
races closed for the winter Donog-
hue bought q greyhound. A few
days later he bought another and
before the week was out he had q

One Of Donoghue's dogs was en-

Others were entered in various
events, but for weeks none ever saw
first place.
Donoghue says he could remedy
all this losing business if only he
could ride his dog in each race.

Two basketball games Of super

Both clashes will start promptly at

who want good seats to be in the
stands early.
Little is known about the strength

always others to take their pla .es.
Valley City for many years has
been a hotbed Of basketball. They
will tell You there that boys and
girls are born with the spheroids in
their hands. 1t is q well recognized
fact that from an early age the
youngsters are never without a ball
during twelve months of the year.
The little city lying under the
high bridge has furnished more bril-
liant performers for University of
North Dakota and North Dakota
Agricultural college quints than any
other city or town in the state. a
tremendous recommendation Of the
brand Of ball played there.
Demons Lost Two
Last year Bismarck dropped two
games to the blue and white. How
ever, Valley is reported to be weak
er this year while the Demons are
doped to be stronger than any
time in the past five years.
It will be the first real test for
the Clan Mcleod in the state high
school basketball race. Six weeks
of strenuous work and four basket
ball games lie behind them. In the
last two encounters against the
Phantoms and the Alumni, the
maroon and gray flashed brilliant
basketball at times.
Valley City will have q we'll hal
anced outfit. They have a nucleus If
ten players playing their second and

outstanding stars.
Bismarck's lineup will probably
have Hank Brown at center, Carl
Thornberg and Fay Brown at guards
and Ben jacobson and either Gordon

Both the Fargo Express and
Champion Have Ended Their
Heavy Training - Petrolle
Will Take Light Drill Today,
While Mandell Will Rest

Minneapolis, Jan. 12.-(AP)-
Dismissing the controversy over al
legged misleading advertising Of the
fight here Friday night between Bill
~ Petrolle and Sammy Mandell,
lightweight champion, as a "tech-
nicality," DR.. Andrew Sivertson,
chairman of the Minnesota Boxing
commission, indicated today that the
commission would take no action in
the matter.
Protests had been. voiced that adj
vertising of the fight gave the in
ference that it would involve. the
lightweight title, when the title act
ually could not change hands be-
cruise the articles specified that Pet
role weigh over the class limit.
II have looked into the matter
little" said DR.. Sivertson, land have
found that it is common practice
among promoters to advertise the
appearance of champions in this
manner even when the title really
is not at stake. An informal deci-
sion from the National Boxing as
ISOLATION, of which our commission
is member, holds that there is
nothing seriously Objectionable in
the practice. It is purely tech
nicality and not worth getting ex-
cited about"
No Action. Threatened
he added that no action would be
taken unless the other two commits
sioners want to outvote him. 1t APP
peared improbable that any action
would be taken, for the commission
as whole will not meet until the
arrival of Sandy Macdonald, the
Duluth member, a few hours before
the fight.
Both Petrolle and Mandell have
ended their heavy training for the
lO-round 60 tomorrow night. A short
spin on the road this morning and
light drill this afternoon will COM
plete Petrolle's preparations. Man.
dell IS announced that he is in
first class condition, and will do but
little work.
Petrolle declared that he intended
to make q rushing fight from the
or ching and will attempt to sr.c.
Mandell with q volley of punches in
the hope Of landing one in vital
spot.
Mandell, clever boxer, voiced his
confidence in the outcome, but add
ed that Petrolle is good" and that
ne expected hard fight.

would have been better, he said. to
have been a maker of matches. and
TO have lived the life of the people.
He did not marry, and for the
same reason that he cultivated no
friendships; Il have only too much
of wife in this art of mine" He
developed profound attachment
for Vittoria Colonna, one of the
most cultured women of the Renais-
sance; but it was only a Platonic
love, almost SeXless.
If he was moved to passion it was
chiefly for the male body; he did not
care for the gentle beauty of women;
and when he wrote love poems it
was to a handsome youth, Tom
masco Cavalier. His sonnets which
John Arlington Symonds has trans
lated with affectionate care, are
among the treasures of Italian
literature.
He lived through three genera
tons, carrying too long what seemed
to him the burden of life. He died
in 1864, acknowledged by all as the
greatest artist that his country had
ever had. In the same year Shake

Renaissance had died in Italy, and
had been reborn in the north.

forget, for the moment that majority of scientists

to the man who Travelled to the in such rocket?
His trip would be spectacular method of suicide
For once the rocket entered the gravitational field
of the MOON it would fall faster and faster toward
the surface of the moon
The moons surface is marked with great holes that
look somewhat like extinct volcanoes. Astronomers
call them craterS.
Most astronomers however, do not regard them

The meteors which struck the moon must have
landed with tremendous velocity to have caused the
great holes known the craterS 1t is thought pos
of the solar system 1t may also be that these craters
were formed before the surface of the moon was
entirely solid.
The rocket striking the moon would then bury it
self in the rocky surface of the MOON resulting in
the formation of a miniature crater. The passenger
would never live to tell the story
But since engaging in SpeculationS, let
make more supposition. Let us suppose that
the rocket was equipped with device which
would permit the passenger to land easily.
Let it be said at that it is impossible to think
at the present moment what that device would be-

depends upon an atmosphere and the moon has no

Let us see then what our visitor to the moon would
find If he landed safely upon its surface.

Mr.. Churchill does not misrepresent
the situation.
Contrary to what everyone ex-
pected ten years ago, Germany is
better off SO far as taxes are con-
cerned than any of the allies and
faces brighter prospects Of wiping
out her national debt.
Exclusive of reparations Germany
owes $1,100,0C000O, as compared to
a British debt of 38 billions,
French debt Of l9 billions and an
American debt of Is billions.
This astonishing achievement was
made possible by deliberate della
ton of the mark, which was sent
down and down until the German
government was able to pay off a
thousand-dollar pound for two bits.
The process made thousands OF
rich people poor, but did not make
the millions of poor people any
poorer. -s- .,.-
