weight championship contenders,
viii meet tonight at the Chicago
Stadium In their third encounter.
The match is scheduled for 10
rounds.
AS each has a decision victory
over the other to his credit. to-
nights contest is regarded by To-
cal4fans as the bout which will de-
eide definitely the much-moo ooted
question of superiority between the
evenly matched battlers.
At the last minute the betting
odds shifted to even money, after
standing for some time at 6 to 5
in favor Of MaStro.
La Barba's stock rose as q
result of the brilliance he has
displayed In recent gymna-

rookie, serving his second
term in organized baseball, de-
serves much credit for the pres
ent American League leadership
margin now enjoyed by Connte
Mack's Philadelphia Athletics.
Furthermore this young man,
Dibrell williams by name, has
ouSted Joe Boley as regular short
stop Of the world champions.
When Boley was side tracked
with an injury some time back
williams, originally q second hase-
man, was shifted to the short
field.
Immediately he clicked. And
now that Boley is physically fit
again. he is playing second fiddle
to the former Southern Associa-
ton star.
A year ago this same Williams,
whose work was outstanding dur
ing his clubs recent western
swing. was holding down the key
stone for Little Rock.
In his first year of professional
baseball williams batted better
than 300 and played lightning.

him, was i m m ediately
spotted rs q live prospect by
Connie Mack when he re-
ported for spring training
this year.
"The kids q natural" Com
ME intimated to his first lieu
tenant, Eddie Collins, ''but he
doesn't look like . second
Sacker."
After some experimenting Will
Iiains was finally sent to short
stop. There he made good at
once.
During the recent absence Of
Max Bishop, Williams has been
patroling second base while Boley
has covered his old position, the
ShortStop. When Bishop returns
to the lineup williams once more
will revert to Shortstop while
Boley goes to the bench.
At present 'Dib' is clouting
around .29O and fielding expertly.
And, unless Boley starts hitting
on all cylinders at once, his op-
portunity Of regaining the job
that was once his is small indeed.
1t may be imagination but it
seems to the writer that two
Athletics other than Boley are
skidding.
Third Baseman Jimmy Dykes
and Outfielder Bing Miller both
seem to have slowed up consider
ably Of late.
These veterans-mighty links
in the championship chain of q
year ago-Seem to have fallen
off in every department his
season. Either that or they
played over their respective
heads In 1929.
When Connie Mack starts
building for another cam
paign he will undoubtedly
concentrate on more pitch
ing strength. Three regular
singers, Rube Walberg,
George Earnshaw and Lefty
Grove. have played q major
part i'm advancing their
clubs interests to date.
Although Jack Quinn and Edd
Rommel have specialized as re.
lief men, at least two more de-
pendables will be needed in 1891.
Quinn, incidentally, remains
baseball'S outstanding marvel. At
As he not only saves games but
also starts and finishes occasional
turns.
''I won't say how much longer
I intend carrying on and you
newspaper boys might as well
give UP guessing" John Quinn
Picus grinned good naturedly to"
day. "But so long as I'm pitch.

LAD

TO WIN
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Aug. Jackie
Kid Berg, Of England, and Kid
Chocolate. of Cuba, the one rising
to eminence from the squalor OF
London's Whitechapel, the other
once q half-naked street gamin In
| Havana, will fight 10 rounds at
the Polo grounds tonight for a
stake that is rich in money but
far richer in its promise OF re-
wards to come. The winner, they
! say, viii be the next lightweight
| champion OF the world. which Is
going pretty far. since the next
! lightweight champion is quite
! liable to be the present holder
of the title, al Singer. AS a fight
er, the latter is nobody's chuckle
head.
However, only the WITNESSES of
chance have kept Berg from be.
| ing the champion today. It is
obvious now that the first man
| to get to Sammy Mandell was to
/ win the title. Singer got there
first. So tonight Berg must 80
down to the class below in order
to prove that he Is an adequate
challenger in the lightweight di.
vision. New York is like that.
Berg ruled 6 TO S favorite this
morning and it is probable that
his price will be longer by night
fal.
He can go wrong, particularly
| If the referee lis disposed to be
technical about things. but If
Berg does go wrong, his expla-
nation will have to be downright
pla usible. He has almost every
i advantage-Six pounds in weight,
| greater stamina. greater dura-
t,lity, and, at least, a stand-off
/ in speed. Chocolate can outhit
the Englishman but whether he
viii or not remains to be seen.
since 1t is an established fact
that one doesn't hurt what one
doesn't hit. If Berg fights his
fight, q crowding, punch-a-second
fight, then Chocolate, the coun-
ter puncher, may never know the
moment when he can set himself
for a punch.
The Kid has only tive ad-
vantages but both Of them
/ are good. First, he is q far
| and away the better boxer.
Second. he has the break ON
| the thing the gamblers call
percentage"
All he can lose in this fight
! Is the decision, whereas Berg
must carry the burden Of re-
sponsibility in the immemorial
good -big-man.verSuS-go -little-man
equation.
Chocolates manager. who fan
cies himself as quite an astute
gentleman around the weighing
scales, has tried to force his luck
in this connection. He is under
stood to have cnivvied Berg into
a 'gentleman's agreement be
lieve it or don't-whereby Berg Is
to make 134k pounds this after
noon. / presume that IL he
doesn't, he win forfeit his gem
tlemanly standing in pro- essional
bOxil..
Anyhow, the Chocolate people
hoped to worry Berg with this
additional half-pound. but 1t
seems that the EngliShman is an
extraordinary fellow, indeed. He
e. ew his own weight bett :
than did Chocolates manager.
The kid himself probably will do
little better than 1913 pounds.
The fight will do q little better
than it might expect but not 50
well as the promoters thought 1t
would do. It probably will play
to about $4,000 in attendance and
perhaps $15O,OOO in money. The
boys are getting al of $13 for ring

get it.
