Bud Taylor
FavOrite in
La Barba Go

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, April 19.-Both am
bilious for the featherweight title,
now held by Bat Battalino, Bud Tay-
lor and Fidel La Barba finished
training for their ten-round bout
here Monday night.
Bringing together two men who
employ the same style of fighting,
the battle promises to be a duel Of
left hands, and it will be the first
of an elimination series planned by
promoter Jack Dempsey for the pur-
pose of obtaining an opponent for
Battalino in an outdoor champion
ship fight this summer.
Taylor was slight favorite IN
the betting and the advance ticket
sale indicated that the show may
be the first in which Dempsey will
make money.

down In the field and on base, and
it was a case Of blotto for the In
dians at the conclusion Of nine
innings. The hits were six apiece,
but the champions played errorlesS
ball while two Of three Tribe mis-
cues played a part in the scoring
of both Kansas City runs.
Burwell Poles Homer
A home run by Burwell produced
the lone Tribe marker of Max
Thomas, a southpaw who baffled
the Indians time and again when
runners were in position to score.
The home nine "blew" a run in
the eighth and halted rally when
Joe Sprinz failed to slide and was
doubled up at the plate coming in
from third after Gerken caught
Sicking's fly. Sprinz was ready to
hang himself after that one, and
it's a sure thing that no member
of the Indians will make the mis-
take again.
Decided in Ninth
The winning run went over in
the ninth when Carlyle doubled,
after two out, and scored when
Hoffman APPARENTLY took his eyes off
Grigsby's line and dropped it. Ollie
Bejma also showed poor baseball
when he Aelded Carlyle's safety and
threw it in the air to Sticking, in
stead of hopping it. Any kind OF
toss on the ground within Sick
ings reach would have been an easy
out.
The other K. C. run was regis
tered in the fourth when Carlyle
doubled after two down and scored
on Grigsby's single to left, which
Barnhart booted. It had to be
scored as an earned run under the
circumstances, but it was a good
guess that the truckhorse Carlyle
could have been held on third or
tagged at the plate if the miscue
had not occurred.

to see Primo Camera, Italy's strong
man, beat Leon Chevalier on a tech

against seven men connected with
the bout, including Camera, was re-

fornalities before being carried out.
The California athletic commits
sion will meet here Monday in a
special session and is expected to
vote that Camera shall not be al

recommended by Charles F. Traung,
commissioner for northern Cali

Finally big Phil Shafer, master OF

Two days later Meyer appeared
in Skaters garage, traded currency
for the car and said: "I've a pal

Cards Rookie Gets Eleven
Hits In Thirteen Attempts
George Fisher, Obtained From Giants, Steals Cheers
From Other St. Louis Stars in Cubs Series

Two weeks ago, when Wallie
Roettger was traded to the New
New York Giants by the Cards for
Eddie Farrell an dFisher, the ques-
ton was: "Who is Fisher?'
Gabby Street, manager, and Presi-
dent Sam Breadon let it be known
that Fisher was lust another OUT
fielder. Well probably send him to
Rochester right away"
Then Ernie Orsatti' ankle was
hurt and Fisher got his chance. He
used 1t, and in placeof such stars
as Botomley, Frisch and Hafey
Fisher gets the cheers when he
steps to the plate.
Fisher, % years old, broke in with
the Dakota league in 1920 as a
pitcher. He played for Minneapo-
lis and Indianapolis, was owned by
Washington, appearing in the East
ern League and for the last three
years for Buffalo in the Interna-

Close Race
Son of Dodge-0n Time
Comes From Behind to
Beat Ante Bellum.
BY BERT DEMBY
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, April l9.-Thcugh
showing nothing sensational, Dee-
icate, the son Of Dodge-On Time,
has stepped CT to a good start in
the campaign which the middlewest
hopes will lead him to victory in the
Kentucky Derby next month.
The fastest 2-year-old in this
section last year, Dedicate rewarded
his hackers from a field Of Derby
eligibles by a length at Lexington
Friday and in doing so proved to
racegoers that he can do something
he hadn't been called on to do be-
fore-come from behind.
AS a 2-year-old, he was of so fast
that he usually had ten length
lead before the race was a quarter
of mile old. But Friday over the
Futurity Course (170 feet less than
three quarters Of a mile, he was
of slowly and looked at the heels
Of Ante Bellum on the back stretch
and was at one time three lengths
behind.
Then he showed the stuff which
was the property Of Reign Count,
Bubbling Over and other great
horses. With an eighth Of mile to
go, Dedicate came up even with
ante-Bellum and the two ran neck
and neck for a few strides. Jockey
Du Bots hit him with the whip and
he tore out to win.
The concensus seems to be that If
dedicate leads Tannery under the
wire he will become the unanimous
choice in the middlewestern betting.
He and Tannery probably will
settle the issue next week.
The one problem concerning
Dedicate is whether he can go the
Derby distance of a mile and a
quarter. but the driving finish he
put on Friday indicated that he had
much left at the end of the race.
