Ruth Has Proved
A Smart Pitcher

New York, Jan. 30.--(P-Those few
pitchers who should be hitters instead
of pitchers sometimes waste their best
years before quitting the mound.
Babe Ruth is one who didn't do
this. and Tony Kaufman is another.
Others are Goose Goslin, Sam Rice
and so on.
But this is a story about Tony
Kaufman.
Tony doubtless will never be another
Babe Ruth or another Goose Goslin.
Yet he must be somewhat of a hitter
since John McGraw has summoned
him to play outfield for the Giants.
One Of the best things in Tony's
favor is that he knew when to cease
firing as a finger. With his twenty
eighth birthday yet to come he has
several years in which to salvage
something from his hapless diamond
career.
McGraw. they say, always did foster
a hope to have reformed pitcher on
his club as hitting specialist. He
first moved to crafty this pet desire
by derricking Lefty O'Doul from his
pedestal as the 1927 slugging sensa-
ton Of the Pacific Coast league.
Lefty, who once sacrificed major
league rating to continue pitching
showed a lot of hitting class in thu
coast circuit. But his 800 mark will

bout which was held at Collier sta
ton on the line between Pennsyl-
vania and West Virginia.
BY 1882 Sullivan's reputation was
sufficient to warrant his challenging
Ryan. Articles were signed for q bat
tie at New Orleans, but civic authori-
ties stepped in at the last minute and
said Nothing doing" Confusion
reigned temporarily until it was de-
cided to move the bout to Mississippi
City on the next day.
The start Of the bout is depicted
above. When the referee shouted
"Time!" John L. leapcd forward and
swung his right to Ryan's jaw with
such force that the champion fell to
the ground. This ended the round,
according to the London prize ring
rules.

It's the Michigan habit Of winning,
says the conference as whole.
Whatever. the reason, Michigan Is
out in front in another Big Ten race.
And it had to climb from the depths
to get there.
All the preseason basketball dope

Now the Wolverines. uhdefeated,
are on top Of the western conference.
They have won all Of their conference
games, stopping Northwestern, Wis
consin, Iowa and Illinois. Preseason
victories over Penn State and Cornell
came in decisive fashion.
It was more than q feeble fight that
has carried the Ann Arbor squad to
its peak position, because Of its first
game Of the year resulted in q loss tc
Michigan State.
Perhaps the surprising showing ol
the Wolverines should be credited te
George veenker, varsity coach, whose
experience before he came to Michi-
gan as assistant coach last year va,

The consensus Is that vcenker Is thu

FEBRUARY Y FIGHT WILL GIVE
STRIBLlNC CHANCE OF HIS LIFE
sharksy Ha. Had His One Big
Chance, That Fight Against
Dempsey, but He Mutfsd Il;
Strib Has Not Met Any Of
the Big Boys; Is Confident
By JAY h. VESSELS

New York, Jan. 3d. R) - There's
one biggest day In the life Of every
man In every business or trade. Even
boxers have them.
February "a probably will be the
biggest day for william Lawrence
Stribling. On that day at Miami
Beach he fights Jack Sharkey for
what may amount to first claim on
the heavyweight championship Of the
world.
sharkey has already had his biggest
day. And he muffed 1t. His day was
July 81, 1927. But he permitted Jack
Dempsey to trick him into ignomini-
Gus defeat
Both Second Raters
Neither Stribling nor Sharkey was
classed better than second raters as
long as Gene Tunney and Jack Demp-
sey were In the game. Tunney's Sec
ond defeat Of Jack and his subsequent
retirement left the field open, where
upon both Strib and Jack got busy.
Strib, who had been shuffling along
with Indifferent success, concentrated
on punch. He was successful, II So
knockouts in his last AZ fights means
anything. Sharkey, financially inde-
pendent because of his heavy earnings
in 1927, made q less pretentious start,
but he raped out the few opponents
selected for his warmup bouts and Is
the choice Of many critic to make
good In his second try for shot at
the title.
There isn't much difference in the
men, as shown by scales and tape
measure. Strib Is taller than the six
foot COB by three-quarters Of an inch
and has superior reach by two and
one-half inches, but Sharkey evens
it up with his weight advantage Of
seven pounds. Stribling is "a and
Sharkey 26 years Of age.
Both Are Scientific
Both men profess to know some
thing about the scientific end Of box
ing. Perhaps that is why both had so
many unsatisfactory fights in the eyes
Of the fans year or two back.
Strib's reputation as q wrestler was
increasing with each engagement un-
til he decided to literally punch his
way into the picture. Sharkey's repu-
tation was none too favorable because
Of the tolerant attitude he frequently
took toward third and fourth-class
opponents.
The victor probably will be matched
with the winner Of an early-summer
bout between Tom Heeney and Paul

MANDAN GAME A TOUGH ONE
Mel cod Will Work His Team

# the Bismarck Demon cagers con-
tinue the pace that they have set in
the first half Of the season, they
should 60 through the season and en-
ter the tournament competition with
a clear record.
In the next month Bismarck meets
Valley City, Mandan, jamestown, Mi
not, and Dickinson.
The Demons have defeated all Of
these teams but Minot in previous
games this season; and they are ex-
pected to win over the Magicians here
by local fans.
At the same time. Coach Roy D.
Mcleod points out that taking second
victories from teams already beaten
Is by far a greater task than winning
the first, because 1T is infinitely
harder to maintain reputation than
1t is to gain one."
The teams playing the Demons the
second time virtually have nothing to
lose and everything to gain. They
will play much harder, being consid-
cred underdogs from the start, and
not being harassed by the idea that
they are expected to win, IN which
frame of mind the Demons will find
themselves.
The Demons play all the remaining
games except the Dickinson game at
home or in Mandan. and Dickinson is
considered the weakest team left on
the schedule.
