The records yield but three in
stances In which these swarthy-
skinned mites Of fighting hearts and
die -hard" spirits have had the count
OF 10" tolled over them. Flores,
junior lightweight, took the count
from one of veteran Tommy O'Brien's
potent rights in q Chicago ring.
Sarmiento was stopped by Tony Can
zoneri In New York about q year ago,
and Nationalist was knocked out by
Newsboy Brown at Hollywood. Calf. ),

Technical knockouts also are in
frequent in the Filtpinos' records.
Three boxers who met with this mis-
fortune are Nationalist, Johnny Fill

thrown into the ring by Nationalist s

cut up by the slashing fists OF Bud

dislocated his shoulder in q bout here,
and his handlers tossed the towel

Lack Fighting Heart
Boxing men credit the lack Of
knockouts In the Filipinos' records
IN the main to their fighting hearts.
Secondly. they list the islanders
bouncing, whirling -deryish style Of
fighting. which makes them diff

followers say. was even knocked Oft

New York, Jan. 9.-lR-Jack Demp-
sey is expected to announce definitely
tomorrow he had decided to carry out
Tex Richards wish that he return ia
the ring this year In an attempt to
regain the heavyweight championship
of the world.
At first perhaps inclined to give up
all thought Of comeback, as result
of the shock Of losing the man who
played SO big part In shaping his
fighting destiny, Dempsey now seems
to think that he could do nothing
more appropriate than carry on as
the promoter would have wished. His
feeling perhaps is that with Richards
passing 1t is more binding upon him
than before to carry out the pro-
moter's desire that he fight once more.
Unless there Is a shakeup in the
program. this means Dempseyis next
and probably last fight will take place
at the Yankee stadium some time in
September, more than 10 years after
he won the heavyweight title from
Jess Willard, and three years, to the
month, after he lost it to Gene Tun-

T0PUZZLE EXPERTS
Until Spring COMES
Philadelphia Manager Has
Weeded out Weaknesses
but More Appear

Philadelphia, Jan. 9.-(F-Manager
Connie Mack Of the Philadelphia
Americans has added an outfielder
and weeded out lot of mediocre ma
terial. but the strength Of the 1929
Athletics must remain somewhat of
a puzzle to baseball fans until he
looks over his team in spring training.
or executes a few more trades to plug
up supposedly weak spots.
The Athletics most pressing need
was an outfielder or two to replace
Ty Cobb and iris Speaker, who re-
tired last fall, and Walter French,
utility fly-chaSer, who also went on
the voluntary retired list. Manager
Mack has obtained the veteran Homer
Summa from Cleveland at an undis-
closed cash price, thus giving the
Athletics four outfielders-Al Sim
mons. Btng Miller, Mule Haas, and
Summa.
To Make More Deals
1t appears certain that Mack will
negotiate another deal or two, il Dos
sible. before he is satisfied with the
outfit that finished only a few games
behind the champion New York Yam.
KEGS last year.
Another new player signed is John
O'Rourke, Seattle youth, who will
be third-string catcher. He is q son
of Tim ORourke, who played with
Louisville while Mack was catching
Tor Pittsburgh many years ago. Those
released included Joe Bush, veteran
pitcher. John Hauser, first baseman,
and several youngsters.
Eddie Collins is back as captain
and principal adviser. with Bill GIea-
son, Ira Thomas and Earl Mack as
assistants. Ossie Orwall, smuggling
left-handed pitcher, no longer would
be used in the box, but probably will
play first base or substitute In the
his place OH the pitching
staff having been taken by Carroll
Ierkes. nephew Of Steve Yerkes, the
Old Red Sox second baseman. Jimmy
Foxx probably will replace Sammy
Hale on third base, leaving Orwall
and Dykes to fight it out for first.
Either can be used in the outfield.
Boley, Bishop Fixtures
Jack Boley at shortstop and Max
Bishop. second baseman, are fixtures
at the middle defense, with Hale and
Joe Hassler as infield reservists.
The pitching staff virtually is UNI
changed. Mack expects great things
from Earnshaw, who was not in good
playing condition when purchased by
the Athletics from Baltimore last
June.
The batterymen will leave February
% for Fort Myers, Fla.
The Athletics roster follows:
Pitchers Quinn, Rommel, Earn
shaw. Ehmke. Shores, Walberg, Grove,
and Yerkes.
Catchers-Co chrane, Perkins, and
O'Rourke.
1nfielders-Foxx, Orwall, Bishop.

Lightweight Champ favored by
Being Extra Good and
Having Few Foes
Tommy loughran, Talking His
Way Up. Says He Will Go
Through to Top
By HENRY 2. FARRELL

Favored by fortune In being mighty
good In his own right and in being
IN the company Of admitted interiors
Sammy Mandell was one Of the only
two champions who retained caste In
1928 and the only one who seems to
be secure against the challenges OF
1929.
Tommy Loughran conducted him
self as q real champion in 1928. He
and Mandell were the only two on
the list voted by the experts as being
worthy champions and he could be
expected to rule for another year
even though there are some good boys
coming up in the class.
Loughran Getting There
Loughran. however. Is talking him
sell into the heavyweight division and
he says he is going to fight his way
through it to the top in 1929. II he
Is seriously decided to clean up all the
contenders for the vacant heavy
weight championship he can't bother
much with the l75-pound title and
Tor this reason he is being looked up
on as heavyweight this year instead
OF the champion of the lighter class.
1t Is our opinion that Loughran is
the best heavyweight in the country
and that goes for Jack Dempsey. too.
You could toss him into a room full
Of 5harkeys and Striblings and he
would come out and fellows like the
Paulino fellow couldn't lay a glove
on him.
Tex Richard, making his annual
forecast Of the business, said that
Mandell Is the only champion who
does not figure to lose his title in
1929. And the count iii almost the
same In the predictions offered by
other experts.
Mandeu has the good luck to be a
mighty good fighter and also to be
the champion of a class that is al
most barren Of good fighters. From
the financial standpoint this may be
too bad but there is the material in
the class for couple Of pretty good
sized purses that do not involve any
great risk for the champion.
It might be that Mandell will crawl
up into q heavier class. There are
some good critics who believe that.
right now. Mandell is the best Junior
welterweight In the country and that
ne could go long way with the best
OF the welterweights.
Is Natural Lightweight
He Is natural lightweight and
has no trouble making 1875 pounds
put ne has been wanting to fight
weiterweights for a year and has
been restrained only by the concern
Of his manager that he might get
himself In bad with some Of those
pesky commissions.
Mickey Walker is almost certain to
be bumped off II he defends his mid
rlewetght championship. There are
Inree fighters In the class who can
oeat 'htm-Ace Hudkius, Georre
Courtney and Rene De Vos. They
wouldn't have beaten the Mickey
Walker Of two years ago but it's Z
after and softer Mickey who Is now
aiding behind the crown. We doubt
hat he can come within seven pounds

'ning himself fatally.
