PHOENIX, Ariz., March 2.-(P]-
The outfield Shakeup planned by

just couldn't keep away any longer.
Dazzy Vance, Brooklyn'S best

REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE NEW
CHAMP

The unusual spectacle OF a syn
ehtic champion losing a decision in
IL rounds to an unknown fighter
and then having the general pub
lie ridicule the claims of the win
ner followed the Jimmy Jones-Dave
Shade scrap that was held in an
outdoor arena at Boston, July q,
1923.
Prior to the bout Shade was adj
vertiSed as the champion owing to
the action of the New York COM
mission in revoking Mickey Walk
eis crown for his refusal to meet
Shade.
Shade In his first attempt to de-
fend his honors took on the un-
known Jones, an obscure Ohio
Scrapper.
To the amazement Of the us
toners the boy from the west gave
the highly touted Shade a thorough
shellacking for the IL rounds. He
threw gloves into Shade until the
so-called champion was frantic.
Jones was ahead from the start and
won hands down.
But did the public recognize his
championship claims? Not a
chance. Jones was ridiculed to such
an extent that the New York body
finally decided to again recognize
Mickey Walker.

went down before the onslaught of
the Edinburg Quint, 40 to 20, in a
game replete with thrills, and ex-
citing from start to finish, for the
Valley independent cage champion
ship.
The game was played on the floor

large crowd, both from Harrington

Edinburg on Thursday night put

with which they conquered the Har-
lingen team last night.
The independent basketball sea-
son started two months ago, and
a successful season was brought to

a meeting will be held in the near

Tilden and Johnston lasted long
er than any other combination in
tennis, but in September, 1927, on
the courts of the Germantown
Cricket club, they followed the
footsteps of the Doherty brothers,
BrOokeS and Wilding and other ia
nous teams.
The handwriting, perhaps, was on
the wall then, for Lacoste had beat
en- Tilden the year before and won
the American championship for the
first time after Cochet had put
Tilden out of the running.
Big Bill was the hero in the final
stand at Germantown, beating Co
Chef with a marvellous exhibition
and dominating the victory Of him
self and Hunter in the doubles. But
Johnston, his game sadly off form,
dropped both his singles matches.
and Tilden, on the final day, did
not have enough stamina left to
withstand the rush Of Lacoste.
The French solicited their ranks
in 1928 for the home stand and re-
tanned the Davis cup by 8 Al mar
gin, with Tilden still their main
barrier. He won the only Ameri-
can victory and that over his meme
sis, LacoSte.
There does not seem much pros
pect of the French winning streak
being interrupted in 1929. Johnston
has retired and Tilden starts the
year under suspension while Amer
lea is looking to new talent for its
future teams. The worlds first ten
now is dominated by France, with
the list, from top to bottom, COM
posed of Cochet, LacoSte, Tilden
Hunter, Borotra. Lott, Austin, Hen
Messy, de Morpurge and Hawkes..
