DOUGLAS WINS,
TIELNC BISBEE
in BASKETBALL

BY defeating the Horace Mann
school lightweight basket ball team
yesterday afternoon, the Douglas gram
mar school lightweight team quit the
season tied for honors with the Bis
bee players, each having won three
and lost three games. The game yes
terday was declared by the Douglas
boys to have been a snappy game, even
closer in fact than the final score,
1873 indicated.
The teams were composed of the
following players: Bisbee, Gutierrez
and DeLeon, forwards; Castillo, cen
ter; Moreno and Verdugo, guards.
Douglas, Sanchez and Vickers, for
wards; Rivera and Fairfield, guards;
Mcbride and Wish, guards
The referee duty was divided between
Greene of Douglas and Blackburn OF
Bisbee and their work apparently
pleased both teams. 1t was said that
the outstanding star of the game was
Fairfield who went into the game as
substitute center for Douglas.
The physical directors Of the gram
mar school boys at Bisbee and Douglas
with the game yesterday declared the
season Of basketball closed and an
nounced that they will now turn their
attention to indoor baseball and that
a series OF games will be played be-
tween the two schools within the
course of a few weeks.

JIMMY MCCLARNIN COMES OUT OF
WEST TO FLATTEN Sid TERRIS, PRIDE
OF new YORK LIGHTWEICHTS

NEW YORK, Feb. "a R-A new
fistic sensation-young Jimmy Nc
Clarnin Of the baby Irish fact and
placid mien-came out of the west
tonight and flattened Sid Terris, pride
OF New York's lightweights, with just
two punches.
Labelled as the next lightweight
champion and scheduled to battle
Sammy Mandell for the crown next
summer, the stocky little Celt from
Los Angeles stalked calmly into the
garden ring and before $4,000 specta-
tors-the most doubling fight fans in
the world-definitely established his
fiStic class for all time.
There was just a little feinting of
the head, little movement of the
shoulders, and short right hand
punch to the chin that put fear of
forked lightning into Terris' heart.
Then as Sid tried his left hook, an
other tiny bolt of leather-lightning,
travelling so short a distance that
half the spectators missed its flight
crashed full on the point of Terris'
chin.

TUNNEY TO FACE
TWO OPPONENTS
DURING SUMMER

NEW YORK, Feb. "a R-The
return of Tex Rickard, fistic i'm
presario, to the familiar haunts Of
Madison Square Garden added new
'color" to the surroundings today,
but little in the way of information.
Bearing a coat of tan 'inches
thick" from exposure to five weeks
OF Miami weather, Rickard seemed
loath to discuss heavyweights and
their eccentricities until fully ac-
climated In fact, the most import
ant revelation" he had to- offer was
that the "big news" of Jack Demp-
sey's retirement, revealed in Miami
weeks ago, was in reality matter
of record before the promoter left
New York.
Rickard made public a telegram
received from Dempsey Jan. IA, in
answer to an urgent plea that the
former champion undertake his an
nual comeback against Gene Tun-
ney in June. The answer, received
four days before Tex left for the
south, said:
Don't think it advisable to fight
any more
AS for Tunney's two title de-
fenses this summer, Rickard said
he could plan but vaugely at the
present with the merry-go-round OF
elimination matches the most prob
able solution of his troubles. He
said it was quite possible that if
the winners of the Jack Sharkey-
Johnny Risko and Tom Heeney-
Jack Delaney matches made credit
able showings, each would be saved
for a title shot.
The first bout probably will take
place in June, in New York, he
said, and the second in September

WORLD RECORDS
ENDAN CERED IN
new YORK MEET


NEW YORK, Feb. "a tF-Seven
worlds records are expected to take
considerable punishment-and perhaps
finishing blow-at the Amateur
Athletic unions national indoor track
and field championships in Madison
Square Garden tomorrow night.
The assault will be directed chiefly
at the marks for the 70 yard high
hurdles, 300 yard run, 1000 yards
event and medley relay, but the
records for the pole vault, 16 pound
shot ana running high jump also
will be threatened
The greatest hurdle field of the
present campaign will battle it out
over the 20 yard distance. In the
field will be Weems BaSkins, national
collegiate and southern conference
champion; Chick Werner, OF the
Illinois A. c.; Dan Kinsey, Chicago
A. A., Olympic champion, and others
Of equal note.
Roland Locke, the Nebraskan,
heads an impressive entry list in
the 300 yards run, among the others
being jackson Scholz, Olympic 200
metre title holder; Fred Alderman,
Illinois A. c.; Lancelot Ross, Yale,
national champion, and Eddie Hoctor,
of Georgetown.
Ray Conger, Illinois A. c. star,
meets Phil Edwards and Pincus Sober
in the 1000 yards run and the
accepted worlds record of 2:12 As,
made by Lloyd Hahn last year, may
fall.
Sabin Carr, of Yale, will make
another effort to break his own in
door record for the pole vault
Is feet, 9 IA inches.
The high jump of reeG, ga
inches will undergo a severe test at
the hands of Harold Osborn. Anton
Burg, Fait Elkins and Emerson
Norton.
In the shotput field Win be Herbert
Schwarze, University of Wisconsin
luminary; Harold Lamberg, University
of Pennsylvania, intercollegiate in
door champion, and several others.
One OF the most interesting Strug-
giles will come between the New York
A. 9. and the Illinois Il. G. for
team honors. The westerners, with
IA entrants, are out to regain the
team honors they lost to New York
last year after a four year reign.

AS if his legs Suddenly had been
cut from under him with O. giant
scythe, Terris dropped flat on his
face, head pillowed in the glove of
his right hand, while thC referee
tolled ten and the largest crowd OF
the present indoor season howled in
acclaim of an Irish warrior.
The bout lasted one minute and AZ
seconds and even IN that short time
there was little action until the crash
ing climax.
Tcrris, a bounding. dancing bolt of
speed, shot out to set the pace at
the opening gong.
He did, too, for over minute, while
McLarnin stalked him carefully, roll
ing his head from Terris' leads with
both hands cooked for the kill AL
most at the start, Jimmy sent
whistling right past Sid's ear that
brought panied expression to the
bounding ones face.
Then Terris landed left hook, his
sole offensive contribution Of the eve
ming. A furry on the ropes, the
bound back to the center Of the ring,
and then the flash of leather and the
thud of Terris' fall from the front
ranks of the lightweight contenders.
For minutes after the battle was
over, the huge throng pressed close
to the ringside and cheered the boy
ishS kid, Irish stamped all over him,
who had just downed the Ghetto's
pride. Finally, as Terris wept quietly
in his corner, McLarnin was seized,
placed high on the mobs shoulders,
and carried away in triumph. Ter
ris was unconscious almost five min
utes from the finishing punch and
had to be carried from the ring.
The downfall of Terris, presaged
somewhat by several knockdowns in
recent battles, still came as quite a
shock to the spectators The New
York speedster was a 6 to 5 favorite
entering the ring. Both scaled 1873 IL
pounds for the battle, with McLarnin
at that weight, settling all claim
that he had grown out of the light
weight class.
The paid attendance was 1880 and
the gross receipts $91,98525, setting
an indoor record for the present
season.

UZCUDUN TAPERS
OFF TRAINING in
GODFREY MATCH

LOS ANGELES, Feb. "a (R-Paul-
ino Uzcudun, the Basque heavyweight
warrior, finding himself in prime
condition, today began tapering off
in his training for his GoliaIh-like
ten round battle here next Tuesday
night with George Godfrey, negro
leather pusher.
Walking, few minutes OF calls
themes and perhaps little work on
the bag, will be all the training
Uzcudun will do daily until time for
him to go into the ring. His handlers
are afraid to let nim go through
any more hard conditioning for fear
that he will go over the peak. He
was practically at fighting weight
on his arrival here from Mexico City
after his victory over Quentin
Romero-Rojas.
A Slight lessening up Of the tough
training grind Godfrey has been going
through for the last few weeks also
was noted at the negro lighters
camp near Ojai, CAL, today. Godfrey
went through a session CT glove
throwing with sparring mates, but
action was not as rough as III
previous workouts His Sparring
mates had orders to work on Cod
frey's midSection, indicating that Big
Gawge" realizes that Uzcudun's heavy
cody artillery is something to lock
out for.

@l0oksa2d}olise:llIs2ssz a2d -

smash quite few records if the Yam
KEGS get into another series this fall
The Babe has been in eight classics
and that explains why he holds just
about all the records possible.
Just to show, however, that he has
played well, he has scored the most
runs, has batted better than 300 the
most times, has the most home runs,
has the most total bases, has the
most extra base hits, has been walked
the most, has batted in the most runs,
and has struck out the most times.
1t might be added that he prob
ably has made the most money from
such post-season affairs.
And there's not record that he
now holds, unless it is his home run
record, which he wouldn't crack if he
is in the next world series.
The holding of records may be
very interesting to those whose in
terest runs to figures, but those
figures with the dollar marks be-
fore them are the best reason why
Babe Ruth, Herb PennOck and all
the other Yankees want to win
this year.

Ball players, who have played
several years in organized baseball,
but who still require experience to
shine with the stars, will be sent to

Signed contracts of Phil Mulcahy,

veteran catcher, were received to-
day at the offices of the Hollywood
club.

CUBS, PIRATES
WORK OUT FAST
ON The COAST

AVALON, Santa Catalina Island,
Calf, Feb. 24P-A general work
out, the first of it's kind held since
arrival here, was given the Chicago
Cubs at their island spring training
camp today.
| Fielding, bunts and covering OF
first base occupied all of the play
ers, with the exception of two dur
ing a rather lengthy session on the
diamond. Granville Bush, younger
brother of the famous Guy Bush,
and Roy "Snipe" Hansen, obtained
from the Reading, Pa, club, work
ed apart from the other players un-
der the eye of Manager Joe Nc
! Carthy, who gave them some need
ed pointers in the art of pitching.
There seems to be very little
doubt about the Cubs club, but
that both of the. aforementioned
newcomers will be played in
farms during the 1928 season.
i 1t is rumored that Hansen will be
returned to the Reading club for
more experience.
Ed Holly, Highlander, obtained
from Louisville, made his initial
appearance today. His arrival gave
Mccarthy IA pitchers. Holly, whom
Mccarthy had when the latter was
plotting the Louisville club several
years ago, is looked upon as very
good prospect.
Joe Kelly, veteran outfielder, was
unable to show today because OF
turned ankle, suffered in his first
workout Yesterday
PASO ROBLES( Calf, Feb. "a
R-Batterymen of the Pittsburgh
Pirates romped through a snappy
two-hour workout today, with both
the regulars and rockies putting

Burleigh Grimes, acquired in the
Vic Aldridge trade from the New
York Giants, was throwing a nice
curve, while John Miljus, another
regular, worked a fast ball and a
change of pace. Fred Fussell, re-
cruit left-hander, up from the
Texaa league, attracted attention
with fast drop ball.
Joe Harris, heavy hitting first
baseman, was out on the field to-

infielders or outfielders to report
Manager Bush has telegraphed
Joe Cronin Of San Francisco, Dick
Bartell, Alameda, Calf, and George

PENNOCK AFTER RECORD

PENNOCK AFTER RECORD
! Should the New York Yankees fulfill
all the nice prophesies made about
them this winter and win another
pennant this summer, that feat Will
be very agreeable to Herp Pennock,
their lean and efficient southpaw
Pennock won't be alone in his joy.
and, unlike the oCner members of the
club whose pleasure will revolve around
the extra five grand they would be
paid for their services, he has another
reason.
The Babe could be said to have
other reasons, too, but it SO happens
that the Babe now holds just about
all the records he can hold for his
batting ability and his playing in an
other world series would afford only
the chance to smash his own records
and make them harder to be shattered
in future years.
With Pennock, however, it is differ
ent, although the making Of new
record can hardly be considered as
! important as being given few extra
thousands of dollars to carry on dur
ing the winter months.
Il
PennOck has won five world
series games. That ties the record
of Jack Coombs, the former Ath-
letic star who is now out of base
ball.
/ ONE, TWO, THREE
If the Yankees win again, and there
/ really is, no cause to think they won't
/ Pennock will get to pitch at least one
world series game. And with the Yam
KEGS behind him one-half as strong as
they were last year, he probably woulc
! win
Coombs, while pitching for the AS
won five games. He never was beaten
He beat the Cubs three times in 1910
/ the Giants in 1911 and the Red Soz
/ (while he was with Brooklyn) in 1916
Pennock, who broke in with the
Athletics in 1914, did not get worlc
series victory until 1923, when he
| trimmed the Giants twice as mem
Der of the rival New York club
He faced the Cardinals in the 1926
classic and turned them back twice
and last year he pitched one OF the
! greatest games ever pltched IN WOrlO
series to defeat the Pirates.
Against the Pirates, for seven lone
innings, he retired the batters as they
came up. He allowed only three hits
and won easily, 81.
Pennock has this year ahead to
smash COOmbs' record. However,
he has other years ahead OF him
should the Yankees fail this year,
as he is far from through.

GRAND JURY OF
LOS ANGELES TO
CONTINUE PROBE
by United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 81. - The
Councilman Carl !. Jacobson under
wear drama and the Aimee Scmple
Mcpherson kidnapping episode prob.
ably will be rehashed again tomor-
row when the grand jury resumes ac-
tivities.
The day 3. session, once and for
all time, is scheduled to bring some
definite decision in the jacobson
case. The jury for several weeks
has been considering indictments
against officers who broke into the
home of Mrs. Callie Grimes and
placed the councilman in custody on
Il morals count.
jacobson had charged that his ar
rest was the result of plot engi-
necred by police and underworld
forces. He claims Officers perjnred
themselves when they said they
found him garbed only in his under
wear.
The jury has indicated it either
will return indictments or drop the
investigation tomorrow.
What the jury expects to do about
the Mrs. Mcpherson kidnapping is
less certain. Unofficially it was
said number of her former as
sociates were under subpocnas to ap-
pear before the body.
The jury some time ago was in
vcstigating the dismissal of con
spiracy to defeat justice charges
against the woman evangelist. This
investigation followed the indict-
mcnt of District Attorney Asa
Kcvcs on bribery counts.
Mrs. Mcpherson will return here
Thursday from n rcvivalist tour in
/, Great Britain.
Practically the entire staff Of Dis
trict Attorney Asa Keycs will be
wiped out by Buron Fits when he
assumes that office on December ;,
Fits has announced.
Fits. once an aide to keyes, will
be in the prosecuting role when
Kevcs goes to trial.
