when Morrison was in charge Of the

Western Conference Cage Season Begins Tonight With Five Game
CERMAK HOPES TO
PROMOTE TUNNEY
FIGHT IN CHICAGO
Sponsor of Christmas Charity
Banquet Leaves For
Palm Beach

Chicago. Jan. 6.-(AP)-Anton J.
Cermak, who persuaded 5000 people
to pay SO a plate to hear Gene Tun-
ney make a 15-minute Christmas
banquet speech, will leave tomorrow
to confer with Tunney at Palm
Beach on heavyweight champion
ship fight at Soldiers Field next
June.
Cermak, who is president of the
Cook county (Chicago) commission
crs. is associated with several other
public officials in promoting the
match, as a possible inducement to
the Democratic national commission
to bring the Democratic convention
to Chicago.
Whether or not they land the con-
vention, Cermak and his assistants
expect to 20 forward. with the bout
if a loophole can be found in Tun-
ney's contract with Tex Richard,
calling for one fight some time be-
tween now and next September. If
the requisite loophole can be found,
Cermak said today, definite an
nouncement of the match will be
made next Tuesday.
The name Of Tunney's probable
opponent has not been announced.
The matchmaking, if Tunney's sig
nature is obtained, will be left to
Jim Mullen, Chicago's leading pro-
moter..
Tunney's denial in New York that
he was considering Pauline fight
at Los Angeles contained a hint that
he had the Chicago proposition UNI
der consideration. It is understood
he made a tentative promise when
he was here last month.

'CARDS' CHANGES
DEPEND ON ACES
RETURN TO FORM
Virtually Every Member Of
1926 World Champions
Will Report

St. Louis, Jan. 6.-Cardinal
pennant prospects depend largely
on the ability Of players who
were injured or suffered I slump
last season to return to- the form
which took them to . worlds cham
pionship in 1926.
With exception Of Rogers Horns
by, traded to the Giants, and Billy
Southworth, sent to manage SYRIA
cuse, virtually all the championship
team will report to training camp
this spring.
The only trade this winter was
one which sent Pitcher Jimmy Ring
and Catcher johnny Schultz to the
Phils in return for Shortstop Jim
my Cooney, Outfielder John Mokan
and Catcher Clarence Jonnard.
Manager Bill McKechnie will
have 4 trustworthy pitching staff
headed by Grover Cleveland Alex
ander, hero Of the 1926 series, Jesse
Haines and Willie Sherdel. He also
will have Fred Farmhouse, who
won six games in seven starts last
fall, Flint Rhem, Arthur Reinhart,
Tony Kaufman, Carlisle Littlejohn
and Herman Bell. Rhem' slumped
last season but hopes to regain the
stride which made him one Of the
regular starters two seasons ago.
Cards Look Good
Bob O'Farrel, relieved Of his
managerial worries and rapidly re.
covering from his thumb injury,
will 60 behind the bat regularly. He
was given the leagues "most val
liable player" award the year before
last. He will be assisted by Frank
Gibson, q veteran purchased from
the Braves, and Virgil Davis, q
youngster drafted from Buffalo.
Jonnard has been shipped to Hous-
ton.
Infield prospects were frightened
greatly with the news that Tommy
Thevenow, whose ankle was frac-
tured last June, is now fully recov-
cred and will return to the short
stop position at which he starred
in the 1926 pennant drive.
Besides Cooney, Heinie Soluble,
Walter Meanwhile and George To-
porcer are also available for short
stop.
With Jimmy Bottomley at first
and the fast frankie Frisch rs
Hornsby's worthy successor at Sec
ond. third base is the only infield
position much in doubt. It belongs
to Lester Bell If he can snap out Of
his last seasons slump.
The regular outfield probably
will be composed Of Ray Blades,
Chick Hafey and Taylor Douthit,
If they return to their old form.
List season Blades was out because
Of an injury and Hafey because Of
eye trouble and Douthit suffered
slump from his championship form.

MICHIGAN HAS VET QUINT

Chicago, Jan. G.-(P-Tne race
for the Western Conference bas-
ketball title, popped up by a bril-
liant series Of preseason intcrsec-
tional contests, opens tomorrow
night with all Big Ten teams in
action at once for the first time in
many years.
The list of likely candidates for
the honors was shuffled consider
ably by the showing against strong
non-conference opponents who in
vaded the Big Ten in force this
winter. Iowa made much the best
showing against the devastating
whirlwind from Pittsburgh, holding
the Panthcrs to tie in the regular
time, but losing in the overtime per-
iod. Four other conference teams,
including some Of the prospective
leaders, fell by 10 points or better
beneath the Pitt machine.
Northwestern also came into
some recognition by defeating No
ire Dame in q furious scramble. the
first Big Ten team which has been
able to accomplish this since 1925.
Michigan Looks Good
Michigan. the 1927 title holder,
has much the same combination
again this year with the addition
of Raber as a dead shot at the hoop.
Captain Harrigan and Dennis Cos
terbaan, the football star, form the
rest Of the Wolverines scoring ma
chine.
Indiana and Purdue, as yet un-
tested against strong opposition,
tied for second place last year and
Purdue has almost the same squad
in the race again. Indiana has Cor
rell and Beckner back again for for
wards, but new men in some Of the
other positions.
Ohio State was one of the easiest
Of the five conference victims of
Pittsburgh. Wisconsin has not
been beaten in any of its preseason
games, but has yet to 60 against
, team that will test it to the limit.
Minnesota's prospects are brighten
ing under their new coach.
Had Sailing System
Chicago has won three and lost
two Of its practice starts. Illinois
went clear to the Pacific coast for
the bulk of its preseason training,
losing two games out Of three to
the University Of Washington at
Seattle. The westerners had a per-
fected stalling system that baffled
Illinois. The opening conference
games are:
