Welter Bout
May Take on
Title Aspect
Fields Thompson Match
May Be HeraIded as
Championship Affair.
Match
BY BERT DENIBY
United Press Stsff Correspondent


CHICAGO. Feb. 28.-Having I'm
ished the task of creating a logical
opponent for featherweight cham
pion Andre Routis, Promoter Jim
Mullen has seized upon the existing
opportunity to bring out a new well
terweight title-holder.
The opportunity came when the
National Boxing Association told
Joe Dundee, welterweight champion,
he either must sign to defend his
title against a logical opponent by
March 81 or forfeit the champion
ship.
That was almost two months ago
and so far Dundee has done no
fighting. The association stressed
its order still further at a meeting
Wednesday by naming Jackie Fields
and Young Jack Thompson as the
two men from whom Dundee can
choose an opponent. Then it an
nounced that in event Dundee does
not meet either of them it will rec
ognize the winner of a Fields
Thompson match as welterweight
champion.
Mullen had already signed
Thompson and Fields to meet here
next month. Now if Dundee per-
sistS in his refusal to defend the
title, Mullen can advertise his
Fields Thompson match as a worlds
championship affair and bring in
several extra dollars.
Thompson demonstrated his right
to title bout with Dundee a year ago
when he knocked out Joe in the
second round of a northampton
ship match here. Fields is fine
boxer, who can take punishment,
although there are few fighters cap
able of hitting him often.

Sharkey's Victory Over Stribling
Puts PAS Alibi to Work; Little
Question About Magnolia's Verdict
Southands Great Sporting Spectacle Develops Into Ire
nendous Financial Success, but Fight Is Sorry
Anti-CIimax to Entire Affair."

display any real class as a killer"
Sharkey, of course, remains in
the forefront, but his step upwards
here was a short and stumbling
one.
Naturally, the prejudices of the
southland in favor of its favorite
f1stic son caused many to protest
the verdict and to claim Stribling
had won.
III the opinion of the writer,
Sharkey deserved the verdict be-
yond question, although the scoring
by rounds was four for Jack, three
for Stribling and three even.
Since they fought under the New
York state athletic commission rules
and with a New York referee in the
ring, this would indicate that Shar-
key won the battle by the margin
of single round. But it was enough.
He repeatedly jabbed Stribling back
wards around the ring and scored
with heavy body punches as the
Georgian jumped in.
1t was far from being one of
Stribling's worst fights, and if his
alibi is worth anything, it was one
of his good ones.
Little to Say
Sharkey, once known as the most
voluble Of heavyweigEts, had little
to say.
"Stribling was faster and better
than I expected him to be-" the
Bostonian told the United Press.
HE didn't hurt me until the
fourth, when he landed peach of
a right to the jaw.
"But after that he seemed to get
easier for me, and in the tenth, I
knew I had him going. If it had
been fifteen-round fight I'm sure
I would have knocked him out"
The great venture undertaken as
a tribute to Tex Richard turned out
to be a tremendous financial suc-
cess, but the disappointing show
ing of the principals chosen for the
affair means that the sporting
world will remember them only in
connection with the south's great
est show

time ago that Ken Penner had &C
cepted terms, but no explanation
was forthcoming at Tribe headquar-
tiers in Sarasota when inquiry was
made as to his whereabouts. More
and persistent inquiry today dis
closed the fact that much trouble
was being encountered over terms
with Boone, Spencer, Matthews and
Layne. The last two named won't
be listed as holdouts if they report
by Saturday, but with Boone and
Spencer it is a different matter, and
as for Penner it seems that a Ger

May Fall in Line
Club officials say the FASTENERS
have been offered liberal salaries
and they are going on the theory
that as the days go by the boys
will fall in line rather than spend
a summer occupied in other pur-
suits more strenuous than baseball.
1.-THE main trouble with some of
the stars" one team boss said, lis
that each figures he was the most
important factor in bringing the
1928 pennant to Indianapolis. That's
the tough problem for club owners
in baseball who finish out in front
getting their men in line the follow
ing year.
Owner Jim Perry refuses to worry
about it and has left the task of
coaxing in the holdouts to Secretary
Bill Clauer and Manager Bruno
Bethel.
Pierce Bosses Drill
In the meantime the squad al
ready in camp is making progress
under the hot Florida sun that sent
the temperature up to eighty-four
Wednesday. Trainer Jim Pierce
bossed the drill in the absence of
Manager Bethel and Coach Corri-
den, who accompanied Perry and
Clauer to the Miami Beach f1stic
event.
Jim had no mercy and kept after
the athletes every minute. Batting
practice was made the big item of
the day and the hitting of Russell
and Warstler featured. The two
catchers on hand, Big Mum and
John Riddle are not connecting
with the horsehide as well as ex-
pected. There won't be much to
write home about until Catcher Roy
Spencer accepts terms and joins the

stepped in the witchcraft of the
