Dull Cage Season
In Southwest Puts
3 Stars In Light

DALLAS, Mar. 4.@P)-Although
the Southwest conference cage sea-
son attracted less interest than
man. former campaigns, it produced
what critics agree are three Of the
outstanding players in the history
Of the circuit.
Wear Schoonover and Tom Pickeu
Of Arkansas University and Holly
Brock of Texas University were un-
animous choices of IA sports writers
and officials for places on the all
Southwest conference quint selected
for The Associated Press.
Brock set a mark that is likely to
stand for several blue moons when
he ran his season scoring record to
161 points in the final game against
the AggieS Saturday night. His Is
points in that game enabled him to
pass Pickell, who finished with 155.

KINDLY JUDGE
WILLATTEMPT
TO Lead Club
BY BRIAN BELL
ASSOCIATED Press Sports Writer)

ST. F-TERSBURG, Fla, Mar. 4
- [P Emile Fuchs, former New
York judge, will sit this summer on
a strange bench and with him will
rest the ho~es of the Boston Braves.
THE judge" as he is called. will
find this open air court quite diff
ferent from the ones he knew in
New York.
The head of the Boston forces in
the National league is conducting
one Of the most daring experiments
in baseball. He has stepped from
the shelter confines Of his exec
utive office to the field itself and
although he has not donned a base
ball uniform to replace the judicial
robe of other days, he is neverthe-
less the manager.
At first glance it would seem i'm
possible for a club president to lay
aside a pen to pick up a bat with
any hope of success, but the mild
hammered Fuchs with 4 ready, pleas
ant smile and sympathy for all
mankind, certainly has a chance to
get away with it. He has accom-
pliShed N third Of his task already
by selling himself as a manager to
his players. Now he has to con-
vince tie fans and opposition clubs.
Stars to Aid
He will be assisted by two stall
warts Of the game, Johnny Evers
and Hank Gowdy, co-heroes in the
1914 four game world series triumph
Of the Braves over the Athletics.
On the playing field will be found
st least two men who know a lot of
the game. Rabbit Maranville, an
other 1914 Braves star, and George
SiSler, former manager of the st.
Louis Browns, will be very active in
carrying out the instructions of
1.-THE Judge" Gowdy may join the
T : lg forces for fifty games or so.
The five players Boston took from
Chicago have shown good form in
the spring workout and promise to
help II Cub. Mcguire. a sensa-
tional fielder, is established at sec
ond base. Louis Legett will get a
chance to do plenty of catching and
Percy Jones, Bruce Cunningham
and Harry Seibold will fit nicely in
to the pitching staff. Seibold is not
a youngster but has ripened in the
minors.
Vets Back
Kent Greenfield, Bob Smith, Ed
ward Brandt and Arthur Delaney
are veterans who will again be avail
able. Pm CantWell and Bill Clark
son, who went from the Giants to
the Braves, Henry Wertz, former
Brace, George Peery, Wichita re-
cruit, and G. v. Leverett, former
White Sox, trying to come back to
major league baseball, are in for a
free for all.
The infield will be made up OF
Sisler, Mcguire and Bell or the
bases with Meanwhile and Farrell
at short. The fleet Lance Rich
| bourg is the only outfielder sure of
his place. Earl Clark and Al Moore
! may complete the trio. leaving
George Harper. Heinie Mueller anc
Jack Smith to fight for the other
pieces.
Pat Collins, eX-Yaknee. the vet
Gran Zach Taylor, and Dick Smith
the Notre Dame football star who
caught for Montreal last year may
make up the catching staff unless
the ancient but nimble Gowdy
takes a hand.

Pancho Scrap
Main Euent Tonight
In Mercedes Fights
lSnecia1 to The Herald)

tSpcCldl 10 1uS dlu)
MERCEDES, Marcn 4.-Promoter
Al Robinson plans to wind up lnau-
guration Day with a boxing card to-
night at his Ohio avenue arena,
WIN two of the outstanding 100
pound Scrappers, in the main event
of a program 1ull Of well known
SluggerS.
Kid Pancho, San Antonio, and
Battling Shaw, Mercedes own, are
scheduled to step 10 rounds.
The promoter has other fighters,
some CT which have never shown IN
the Valley, to add spice to the pro-
gram, and Incidentally, these box
ing cards are semi-monthly affairs.
A glance over the list reveals that
| CLAUDE Bowers of Des MONIES, Ia,
and Art Garner of San Antonio,
| 100 pound bruiserS, will go s rounds.
The next eight round setto finds
Homer Goodman of Brownsville and
Jack Revis, OF Mercedes, $50 pound
ScrapperS, ready to swap WallopS.
Popular fighters, these boys, fans
may expect a classy exhibition. Rev
is, once the kingpin pepper" of
the Valley, with a string OF knock
outs and decisions owe many well
known fighters, retired from the
leather pushing business about a
year ago, but the old urge was too
much for Jack, and he comes back
tonight, and before a local audi
ence, to a great extent, to regain
his lost prestige.
But standing in his way, and the
boy who will entertain Jack, Is the
tough Goodman of Brownsville.
Goodman, one of the cleanest fight
ers that has ever leaped through
the ropes and onto the resined floor,
is battling his way to what he be-
lieveS will carry him far in the
fight game. He is a cautious box
er, cool and collected, with a punch
in his right mitt that, when landed
on the orthodox button, generally
brings his man down.
Revis and Goodman are fighters
using similar tactics. Both have
good rights, cautious to the nth
degree.
Little is known of Bowers and
Garner. However. the DeS Moines
battler challenged the winner of
the Burns-G asparro scrap here two
weeks ago, and was introduced from
the ring.
AS a curtain raiser, Young Mareno
and Benny Perez, are scheduled to
go 4 rounds.
Every man on the card is in ex-
cellent shape, it has been announc-
ed.
To win tonight means a lot to
every Of the fighters.
Shaw is DESTROYS of keeping up
his winning streak, and a loss would
set him back. Pancho. the veteran,
is trying to come back, a trail so
difficult, and hardly travelled with
success; yet there have been fight
ers of other days who have come
back.
Will Pancho come back?
The program is to start at 8 p.
n.
Bring on the fighters!

Just before I boarded the boat

By Leap From Blaze
In Hongkong Hotel

VICTORIA, Hongkong, March IL.
-(P-An American seaman, Kish
Of the cruiser Memphis, lost his life
today in a fire which took IA lives
in destroying the King Edward
hotel.
Kish Jumped from a high win
dow of the burning building to a
sheet held for him by firemen and
spectators but missed the sheet and
struck the pavement instead.
A petty officer of the u. S. S.
Nashville named Phillips, refused
to make a similar jump and in
stead knotted two sheets together
and lowered himself safely to the
fire escape.
General Chan Ming-Shu. civil
governor of Kwantung. jumped
with his wife to sheets held under
their widow. They were injured
slightly.
Besides the American seaman a
European man and a European
woman, a Japanese woman, four
Chinese, and six others are be-
Ieved to have persisted.
The hotel was one of the largest
and most frequently patroniEed by
tourists in the city.

WALES MAY BE
NAMED REGENT
Prince Expected to Rule
England While King
Convalesces

LONDON, March 11.-(P-Pos-
sibility of the appointment Of the
Prince Of Wales as regent to rule
for his father during the remain
der Of King Georges convalescence
was discussed in London news
papers and parliamentary circles
today. There were indications that
legal aspects Of the matter were
under consideration by the attor-
ney-general and the solicitor gen
eral.
The Daily Mail said there was a
possibility parliament would be ask
ed to replace the present concil Of
state, which has acted for the king
during his illness, with a regency.
The action, if taken, would have
for its background the constitu-
tional duties which devolve upon
the crown in the course OF a gen.
eral election, which this year is
slated for some time in May.
The king-or the regent-must
dissolve parliament. and in the
event Of a victory by the opposi-
ton party, in this case either lib
eral or labor party, would have to
confer with the new leaders re-
garding appointments, future policy
and the like. In the event Of a
deadlock after the general election
the king, Or regent, would have to
decide to which party to give power.
