The bill. which was backed by

candidates have cut short their Christ
mas holiday to prepare for Saturdays

night.
The inexperienced MaroonS have gain
ed an even break in their two previous
games, and hope to remain out of the
red by victory over the husky squad
from Carleton. Carleton gave Wisconsin
a good battle last week but was de-
feated, 26 to Is, and Chicago hopes to
Go as well, or better against the North
erners
While Chicago is tackling Carleton
Saturday, Wisconsin will entertain Lom-
bard at Madison. The Badgers will take
on another strong foe next Tuesday,
meeting Iowa State College at Madison.
Purdue and Northwestern have tough
assignments for next week. North
western will spend New Year eve at
tempting to gain second victory Of the
season over Notre Dame, while Purdue
will meet the Montana State Bobcats
New Year night at Lafayette. North
western scored q 30-to-28 decision over
the Irish last week at South Bend, and
expects to do better on its own floor.
Purdue and Montana State both are
numbered among Buffers victims this
season, and the Boilermakers hope to
square up accounts by giving the west
ern transformers a more decisive defeat
than Butler was able to accomplish.

.SH|RES NOW READY
TOF|GHT ANY MAN
Issues Def After Stopping
Bailey in First Round
in Buffalo Ring.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
~ UFFALO, N. Y, December a.
- G. Arthur Shires, Chicago White
SoX first baSeman, is ready tt
IL fight ANY man in the world.
He issued his challenge last
night after knocking out Big Bill Bailey
of pugilistic renown in minute and %
seconds.
At the opening gong Shires dashed to
the center of the ring, both hands
covering his face in that funny little
way of his.
Big Bill swung a terrific right which
caught ShireS In the mouth and drew
blood. Both men exchanged punches
and as Big Bill backed away, Shires'
powerful right caught him on the point
of the jaw. AS his adversary staggered,
Shires followed up with another right
to the jaw and Big Bill struck the can
vas and lay there immobile during the
count.
After he had been declared winner
the Chicago man made speech from
the ring in which he expressed gratif1-
cation for his Buffalo welcome and Of
fered to fight any man in the world."
Joe Mccarthy, manager of the Cubs,
was among those at the ringside.
Whats the idea, old champion?" he
asked. 1.-The last time I saw you and
Hack Wilson you had your arms around
each other. Now why all the enmity?"
well, you know" replied Shires.
fifteen grand is pretty big money to
be collected for few remarks. They
wouldn't let us go in with FIRE axes
and we couldn't hurt each other any
other way. When you figure all the
fighting we did last season, but didn't
get any action but fines, just think
what a breeze this would be-"

Cleveland. The former Michigan star
won Is games for a second-diviSion club
and displayed everything needed to win
in the majors. "Jabby" had been up
before, but lacked experience, and now
is ticketed as ready.
The New York Giants took Leroy
Parmlee. a big right-handed hurler,
from the Toledo Club, and he has a
good chance to remain with John Nc
Graw. Parmlee is one of Case Stengel's
discoveries, and has a tremendous
amount of stuff.
Toledo also sold Jackie Warner to
Brooklyn after the former Detroit Tiger
had shown a lot of skill at short. Otis
Miller, second baSeman, was taken
from Milwaukee by the Boston Red Sox,
and Spencer Harris. up before with the
White Sox and Washington, goes to De-
troit. The st. Louis Browns recalled
several players from Milwaukee and
Cincinnati two who were at Columbus
on option. So the associations repre-
sentation in the two majors next season
will be rather heavy.
The associations policy to attempt
the development of young players rather
than rely on skidding veterans has
started revival of interest among the
fans, and President Thomas Hickey be-
lieves the organization soon will regain
its normal level in attendance.

TAYLOR AND MAESTRO
TO BATTLE TONIGHT
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, December 27.-Bud Tay-
Tor, the terror from Terre Haute. Ind
and Earl MaStro, Chicago's contender
for the world featherweight champion
ship, tonight will meet in the feature
piece OF the Chicago Stadium's final
boxing show of season. ~,
Taylor, long ranked among the lead
ers IN the division, and MaStro. whose
rise has taken place during the past
year, will go 10 rounds or less, to settle
some unfinished business. They re-
Gently fought 10 furious rounds to a
draw at the stadium, with one Judge
voting for Taylor, the other for MAESTRO,
and the referee calling it a draw.
Neither was satisfied with the verdict
ana both jumped at the chance for a
second meeting.
The bout was scheduled for December
10, but was postponed to permit Taylor
to recover from an ankle injury. Until
yesterday MaStro was an 8-to-5 favorite
over the Terre Haute veteran, but the
latter's showing in his closing training
sessions was so impressive that the
Chicago youngster was no better than
a 6-to-5 overnight choice.
Although the poStponement bid little
to sustain interest in the bout, Match
maker Nate Lewis forecast an attend
ance OF about 10000, which would mean
receipts OF approximately $4,000.
The semi-f1nal offering will be an
other hereunder between Helm Mueller
clever German heavyweight, and Elzear
R1oux, Canadian heavyweight title
holder: Mueller gained q lot of popu-
larity in Chicago by decisive 1O-rollnd

BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

~ H1CAGO, December 27.-The de-

in the class AA circuits, for the
first time since the war. The American

chance to stick
st. Paul was the big developing
ground of the association during 1929.
From the ranks of the Saints the New
York Yankees secured Pitchers Ameri-
Gus Poll, a right-hander, who had won
% and lost 8 games; Infielder Ben
Chapman and Outfielder Alan Cooke.
Both Chapman and Cooke were hard
hitters in the association, and Bob
Shawkey is counting on them to bolster
his Yankees. The Yankees also took
Catcher Bubbles Hargraves, a doughty
veteran, from the Saints for the obvious
to be had.
Strong Outfield Promised.
Kansas City sold Bob Seeds, a big
outf1elder with a batting average of
1924, to the Cleveland club, and Billy
Evans believes the young man will round
out one Of the best outfields the Indians
have had in years. The Chicago Cubs
shared Pitcher Larry Nelson, who until
he was injured was the leading pitcher
on the Kansas City team. The Bruins
went stl ong for association pitchers and
also purchased Malcolm Moss from
Louisville and Arthur Teachout from
Indianapolis. Moss and Teachout are
southpaws, and while their records with
second-division clubs we're unimpressive
they showed enough to attract Cub
scouts.
Cincinnati found one Of the best
prospects of the year on its Columbus
farm, and Dan Howley expects to use
Charles Cuccinello at either short or
third on his rebuilt Reds. Cuccinello
was one of the leading batters of the
association and a clever fielder. Still
raw youngster he has not reached his
full development, but is coming rapidly.
