OFORUM

The continued prance Of the
Shreveport Sports during the last
few days has shot them right up
with the best OF the Texas league.
in fact, they are quite a DIT better
than a large per cent Of the list.
The tricky Cubs just can't be
figured ou.. One day les one
thing. then another. Make a
prediction today and you'll be
fooled tomo-. ow.
The shake-up in the Western con-
ference came. not SO much as q SUR
prise. Iowa has been having trou-
bic for some time and II only ap-
peared 10 be a matter OF time. Tie
alumni has been gripping for the past
year or two about the success Of
the athletic teams. They have &C
cused the coaches. accused trainers,
and ever accused professors. So the
whole thing has resulted IN the Iowa
school begin ouSted.
It's a funny thing about an ath-
letie team. especially in a college
OF university. So long as the team
Is winning. the coach Il praised,
the players are eIated and the
whole team IS the best in the
world" Let them start on \
downhill trend. and they are the
"s0rrieSt In the world"
Last season when Hack Wilson
was giving the boys fits in the Ma
tiOnal league for home run hUnorS.
he was a popular player. When he
pointed out a beauty for a four
Dagger, Re was given a great hand.
II he made a pretty catch. the fans
went wild. But let him strike out
twice in succession. ard he was
"booed." called a big hunk or beef"
and threatened TO be run of the
field. Such is the life Of a ball
player. The world loves a winner.
The loser has IL all 70 lose.
The BatselI-Wells skeet club
will likely have a match with
Donna next SUNDAY. Point Isa-
bel. san Benito and Mercedes are
likely 10 have a club I'm another
week or so. Skeet Is becoming n
popular sport throughout the

centrated misery at Mercedes Mon

mote- AT Rob-nson's fight card.
Hughes. aggressive throughout the
bout. although decidedly groggy az
times. was put on the mat for Q to-
tel Of eight times by the Mercedes
flash. Battling Shaw came IN Tor
his end Of the punishment IN the
fourth and sixth rounds, however
He was obliged to take the count
OF nine in each OF these stanzas.
Not the Old Hughes
Both Of the boys had strong fol-
lowing about the ringside. More
than half a hundred Brownsville
fans made the trip 10 see their old
idol-Huches-d0 his stuff. But the
fighter they saw was not the Hughes
of Their memories. Years have a
"a ~
way of mellowing memories, and
prior to the fight you could hear
them singing the praise or the
mighty right Of the man VINO beat
everything in the Valley several
years ago. That Is, beat everything
except Kid Pancho.
These fans got a sudden shock
when Battling Shaw's left lab be-

TO get in close to Shaw who danced
off easily. sharpshooting with his

Shaw On the Floor
1t was apparent that Shaw was
much the better boxer of the two.
but what If Johnny did land that
right? Hughes got in close in the
third and fourth round. He nailed
the dancing Mercedes lad in the
fourth after taking many. Shaw
fell to the canvas writhing. He
managed TO get UP sc q count OF
nine. He stayed away from Hughes
the rest OF the round. Shaw came
back strong in the fifth and put

Hughes continued in a bad way
ND until the tenth round when Shaw
cut loose with an attack that seemed
destined to knockout his opponent.
Hughes appeared hardly able TO
stand on his feet. Shaw floored him
four times. He was taking the
count when the final gong sounded.

The visiting team il one of the biggest attractions m the Ameri- can circuit and should prove ts be one of the best attractions of the en- tire season here. ..4
 Davey Banks and Nat Holman, two former members of the worlds championship Celtic team of New York city. contribute more than any thing else to the extraordinary draw ing power of the New York team but any of the other players on the squad are equal in ability to these two. Banks plays . forward and hs has for his running mate. Mosko. witz who has appeared here | num- Der of times as A member of the Hebrew Giants of New York. .Hol- man in guard. has for his running mate, Goldberg, one of the best players in the metropolitan section. Chazmadie, the center. is . lanky boy who will give ."Jigss" Donoghus plenty of work. ..
 Sloman and Zakzewski will play forward for New Britain. Donoghue will be at center while tho guards have not yet been chosen. The two will be picked from Leary. Sheehan and Arburr. ... ..... This combination succeeded in winning the first game in seven starts for New Britain. After \ slump extending over six weeks. New
