FANS
THINK DOUGLAS
CAN HAVE TEAM

Representatives from several cities
will gather in Tucson today to. con-
slider a baseball league. Douglas
will not be represented. There are
fans about the city who have felt
that the city should have been IN
tluoed in the conversations at Tue
son but whether it was due to lack
Of interest on the part of those who
sometimes sponsor baseball effort or
to lack of invitation to participate
no announcement has been nl2ia.
Baseball has come to be almost a
universal sport language and 1t is
the ambition of every fan to haze a
team in his home town. That fact
explains the desire on the part Of
local fans to find some way to set
into league If one is organized. A
baseball team would afford Douglas
advertising and a means of enter
tanning her working people who have
I not the transportation facility to get
to the mountains or Sunday and also
t. entertain all who liked that sort
Of sport-and there are few Ameri-
cans who do not like it.
But liking a sport and being a%;.e
to maintain it on certain standards
ere two very different propositions.
III the smaller circuits there are few
teams that make enough money to
support their own operations. Ur-
less some one is ready and willing
IT, underwrite that expense rep 'esen-
tation in a league would not be pos
sible. because league membership rre-
supposeS certain things having keen
done and one of those is that the
money needed to pay for the fixed
charges, including the charter or
franchise shall have been provided,
There is enough in the argument
OF the. fans that Douglas ought to
have a baseball team to warrant tl1ose
who take active interest in trying
to promote those things that are
good for the city's civic life to give
serious thought to some plan to put
a baseball team in the reach CT the
Douglas fans during the playing
season.

POLO TEAMS IN
TOURNAMENT AT
u OF ARIZONA

The firso annual polo tournament for
Arizona's open polo championship start
ed at the university polo field in Tue
son January 8. There are eight teams
entered, consisting of the Los Mochis,
Siflaloa, Mexico; Sonora Tigers, Mag
dalena, Sonora, Mexico; La Ventana
ranch team, Casa Grande; San Marcos
hotel, Chandler; Phoenix Polo club
Phoenix; 25th infantry, Nogales; Los
Mustangs, Tucson, and the University
of Arizona Play will continue for a
week win a consolation tournament
running in conjunction with the regu-
lar matches.
This is the first time a tournament
of this kind has ever been held in the
state and it is attracting state-wid
attention as it certainly should con-
sidering the brand of polo played and
the line-ups of the opposing teams
Playing position number two for the
Sonora Tigers, as the AlamoS team is
called, is Col, j. Campbell Besley OF
international fame having played with
the British international team in 1912
He is seven-goal handicap man. An
other veteran at the game is Beckford
Kibbey playing position number one
He formerly played with Canadian
teams. Completing the AlamoS aggre-
cation is Jimmie Hearon, former cap
tain of the famous University of Ari-
zona team that in 1922 stormed the
eastern part of the country, and Paul
Sawyer, stellar back who defended the
Arizona varsity goal for good many
seasons.
Each team is supplying it's own
horses and the AlamoS outfit has the
very best of the Mexican west coast
and Sonora districts available, which
were brought 70 Tucson from the Kib-
hey ranch in Sonora, Mexico.
Playing for the University of Ari-
zona is James Schildman, captain o1
the team, position number two
Schildman has always been regarded
as one of Arizona's most sensational
players He is a hard rider and his
mallet work is excellent. He, can usually
be relied upon to provide spectacular
plays and thrills. Completing the uni
versity four is Boyd Sharpe, number
one, a consistent player with remark
able teamwork. Roberts plays number
three, and Shannon man with con-
| siderable experience, plays mum b Ell
four. Shannon is a steady player an6
very adept in breaking up the opposi-
tons scoring.
The winner of the championship ol
Arizona will then have the right tt
play the winner OF the Pacific coast
championship tournament and that ir
turn will decide the team to play the
champions of the east
A good many Douglas polo enthusi-
asts have announced their intention
of attending the tournament in Tucson
after the elimination games have beer
played and it is the advice of Colonel
Taturn of the University of Arizona
that they make their reservations fol
boxes early as q record crowd is ex-
pected toward the last of the tourna-
ment.
The final game to determine the
championship will be played at the
Rancho Santa Catalina polo field
promptly at p. m, January 16.

SHARKEY'S LEFT
HAND IS FACTOR
in HEENEY BOU 7

I NEW YORK, Jan. II tP)-Cloaked in
ominous silence and with or without a
tender left 'maulie," Jack Sharkey
will descend on the doctors of the New
York state athletic commission tomor-
row at IL a. m. to demonstrate his
physical fitness for 12-round battle
with Tom Heeney, bulgy- -muscled New
zealander, in Madison Square Garden
Friday night
Sharkeys silence likewise took in
the condition of his left hand in which
the boxing .solons are extremely inter
ested. Jacks bout with Heeney, orig
inally scheduled for early December,
was postponed when Sharkey fractured
a finger during a workout. The Bos-
ton battler, most promising of the
younger heavyweights until Jack
Dempsey battered him unconscious
with body attack last July, has not
fought since Dempsey's fists sent him
to a, Boston hospital for few days
suffering internal hemorrhageS.
While local experts have voiced sus-
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-01-12

picion that all was not we'll with
Sharkey's left hand, reports of the New
Englanders workouts indicate that he
is in splendid condition and weighing
1913 pounds, slightly under the heft
he threw against Dempsey. The ex-
sailor, who became the heavyweight
sensation by whipping Mike McTigue,
Harry Wills and Jimmy Maloney, also
is reported to have developed new ring
technique by leading with his right
hand, in, violation Of all fistic funda-
mentals.
Let him do that a couple of times
to me just to show he's in earnest
and I'll knock him into somebody s
lap" declared Tom Heeney today as
he wound up training with three
rounds against George Courtney, mid
dleweight star. Heeney scaled around
1913 pounds, his best fighting weight
Odds as high as TO we're offered,
however, that Sharkey would whip the
humping Irisflnan who boasts the
championship of New Zealand, South
Africa, Australia and Ireland in addi-
ton to American victories over Johnny
Risko, the Cleveland baker boy; Bud
German and Jimmy Naloney.
Sharkey, after the examination to-
morrow, plans only light exercise to
hold poundage down and keep muscles
timber for the 12-round fray that may
determine Gene Tunney's next chal-
lenger fo rthe heavyweight title bout.

GOLF PLAYERS
TO BE INVITED
HERE FEB 1873

An invitational golf tournament will
be the attraction to the Douglas Coun-
try club links February 1919, it was
announced yesterday by Alec H. Jolly,
instructor III golf at the Country club.
The plans have been partly shaped
and it has been decided that the golf
clubs of Bisbee, Tucson, Phoenix, Can
anea, Nacozari, Benson and all other
places within an equal radius to those
suggested will be invited to enter teams
in the tournament.
The tournament will he one of Sc
holes play each of the two days. 1t is
believed that it will bring a large num-
Der of players together and that it will
simulate fine enthusiasm among the
golf players of the state, generally.
The plans are Being made by Mr..
Jolly
Defeat of the Bisbee golf team on
last Sunday, 36 to IA, proved pleas
ant surprise to the local players as the
BiSbee golfers had been usually on the
up side in the score totals But there
has been a noticeable improvement in
the play of a number of the Douglas
players in recent weeks and there are
some of the younger members who
have been showing some extremely
promising ability on the links The
surprise was not so much in the fact
of the defeat as in the one-sided char
acter of the score.
The next game between the Douglas
and BiSbee clubs will be played on
February II on the links of the Bisbee
players.
In the play last Sunday, the follow
ing Bisbee players took part: " john

WON ELM DENIES
REPORT HE WILL
TURN GOLF PRO

LOS ANGELES, Jan. IL H9-George
Won Elm, former national amateur golf
champion, tonight denied reports that
he would sign under the management
of Jack Kearns, fight promoter, as a
professional for a golf tour. Won Elm
insisted he would never consider
abandoning the amateur ranks for the
professional.
While !KearnS insisted the colorful
golfer was considering seriously his Of
fer, Won Elm declared the suggestion
had been made only in a kidding way,
and that he would not for minute
think of making sucn change.
Kearns declared his belief that plenty
of money could be made out of pro-
fessional golf If it were given ''the
proper ballyhoo," and intimated that
Won Elm would be under his manage
ment after finishing the Long Beach
tournament, which Starts Friday.
Kearns brought the name of Al Wat
rous, Grand Rapids pro, into the prop
csition as a possible teanlmate for Won
Elm.
From Kearns' camp came inforna-
ton that Ell Paso, Texas, would be the
scene of Won Elm's first golf appear
ance after winding up his amateur
career in the Long Beach tourney. It
was DECLARED arrangements for the El
Paso opening of the professional tour
already had been started.
Won Elm insisted golf was but an
honored pastime, with him, and that,
paired with his private business, would
prevent him in spite of any million
dollar offer" from going into profess
sional golf
