HOT FIGHTS PREVAIL

NEW YORK, December 19.-The
battle for places in the National Hockey

The Boston Bruins and Detroit Cou-
gars staged a battle for second place

They have IL points each, 5 behind the
New York Rangers. In spite OF their
position last nights game made the
fifth straight for Detroit without a

The New York Americans stayed at

The Yankees ard 1929.

A pair of right shoulders or right
elbows have no little to do with the
Yankees outlook for 1929. These right
arms belong to Tony Lazzeri and Herb
Pennock. If they are still hanging on
with the hinges working again, even
the hustling young Athletics will have
their time taken up in hanging on. The
Yankees were breezing last Summer un-
til Lazzeri and Pennock picked up
pair of kinks and later on one or two
others, including Earl Combs, heard the
clang of the hospital wagon.
If Winters rest has brought these
stricken athletes around, the old wagon
will be able to lumber on its way again.
Pennock is no kid. Neither is Babe
Ruth. But the Babe is far from being
wheeZy oldtimer about ready to blow
He will be out there at the blasting act
for some time yet.
The Athletics may be even more for
midable rivals this year than they were
last Summer, but they are not going to
win any pennant from the Yankees by
chucking away entire series to their
leading rivals. Grove and other pitch
ers will have to suppress the Yankees
more often than they did last Summer
to have an even chance. The Athletics
should start the new season with more
speed and better ball club than they
had last April, and if they once break
through the Yankee hoodoo they viii be
hard to curb.
The American League again looks to
be two-club affair. Several of their
rivals are expected to do much better,
but the gap for the last two years has
been too wide open to be closed in a
season unless Pennock and Lazzeri are
unable to regain old form.
Something TO Talk About.
Those teams claiming an unbeaten
record for 1928-or the loss of but one
game-might consider the record of
Tennessee in this age of inconsistent
and uncertain foot ball.
One defeat in three years-just one.
A defeat by Vanderbilt in 1926. And if

doesn't inhale too much overconfidence
and take too much for granted, it may
add 1929 to this showing.
What Tex Rickard would like to have
at this stage is an elimination roundup
that doesn't eliminate the entire cast,
as it did last year where only Heeney
was left. Heeney scrambled through
with two or three draw decisions and
no defeats, but his showing at least
eliminated yard full of paying clients.
The same brand of boxing and punch
ing that the entire crew put on last
Winter will eliminate twice as many en-
tries as they now have in sight. The
fight fan proved that he was over
rated as glutton for punishment. It
remains to be seen how much the same
cast has improved, with only one or.
two strangers horning in. +.
