KID BERG DEFENDS
14QEPOUND CROWN
Young Hess Gets Big Chance
Tonight-BattaIino Not
Risking Title.

CHICAGO, January az (R.-Goldie
Hess, blond freckel-faced youngster
from Los Angeles, will have q chance to
win the worlds junior welterweight
championship tonight when he engages
Jack kid" Berg, spectacular British
holder Of the 140-pound championship,
in a 10-round battle.
Hess and Berg share the headline role
on the Chicago Stadium card with Bat
Battalino, worlds featherweight cham
pion, wfO is meeting Eddie Shea, rugged
Chicago contender. Both contests are
scheduled for 10 rounds, but the feather
weight battle Is q non-championship
affair as Shea agreed to weigh In above
the class limit of 1875 pounds.
Berg recently returned to America
from London and has not been at the
wars since defeating Billy Petrolle in
New York last October. However, the
popular little English boxer probably
will enter the ring prohibitive favorite,
as he is generally conceded to carry too
many guns for Hess.
There Is a possibility, however, that
the Pacific Coast youngster may come
up with an upset triumph due to Bergs
six months absence from the ring.
Hess, in better condition than at the
time he fought Tony Canzoneri in New
York several months ago, figures he has
an excellent chance to win.
Big Gate Expected.
Battalino will be engaging In his first
contest since he defeated Kid Chocolate
in a 15-round bout in defense Of his
title in New York last month. Shea,
always a menacing contender in the
featherweight division, jumped to the
top rank of challengers when he scored
an upset victory over Fidel La Barba In
Cleveland last December.
The appearance Of two champions in
the same ring gave indications that
$4,000 to $4,000 fans will witness to-
nights battles with gate receipts ap-
proximately $500 to SIS, 900.
Another son Of the British Empire,
Johnny Peters. a fast slipping sharp
hitting bantamweight, also will appear
on tonight'S program. He will engage
Ernie Peters, full-blooded Chippewa
Indian youngster, who fought Midget
Wolgast. frankie Genaro and other
topnotchers as flyweight. The balance
Of the program brings together Ralph
Lenny, sharp-shooting lightweight of
Jersey City, and Marty Stone Of Detroit,
and Willie Oster, Boston light heavy
weight and Buck Esterling of Chicago.

.SCHAAF IS FAVORED
TO BEAT BRADDOCK
Heavies Clash Tonight in
Ten-Round Feature Bout
at New York.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, January 23.-Ernie
IN schaaf, husky Boston heavy
weight, returns to Madison
Square Garden tonight to bat
tie James j. Braddock, erstwhile light
heavyweight contender, in 10-round
bout
Schaaf, one of the most effective of
the young heavies, rules an 8-to-5 ia
vorite over Braddock, who returns to
the ring after a three-month layoff.
The Boston battler in the last year
has been upsetting favorites with
monotonous regularity. He holds two
decisions over Tommy Loughran and
outpointed the nightly touted Pacific
Coast slugger, Max Baer, in his last
Garden engagement.
Braddock, after fighting his way into
title bout with Loughran in the light
heavyweight division and taking a fine
boxing lesson for his pains. has deserted
the 175-pounders to see how he fares
with the heavyweights.
Braddock is a slow mover and a slow
puncher, but carries a tremendous load
of dynamite in his right hand. His
most sensational victories as a light
heavyweight were knockout triumphs
over Gerald Ambrose (Tuffy) Griff1ths
and Jimmy Slattery.
Bucky Lawless, Syracuse welter-
weight, meets Sam Bruce, Buffalo
Negro, in the 10-round semi-final, and
in the first 10, Nick Testo. Troy. N. Y,
middleweight, tangles with Vittorio
Livan of Italy.

CLEVER RECEIVERS
RARE IN BIG LOOPS
Weakness Behind Bat Mars
Clubs About as Much as
Pitching Lack.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

COME major league teams still
are looking around for prom
~ ising young catchers, and
there probably will be crop
Of rockies tried out behind the bat
when the Spring training season
gets under way.
Big league managers are aware that
their outfits have suffered from q short
age Of skilled catchers quite as much
as from a lack Of durable pitchers. In
explaining the rise of free batting, too
much stress has been put at times on
the weaknesses Of pitchers in those clubs
that are not equipped with catchers of
better than ordinary skill.
The best young catchers in the Ma
tlonal League last season were Lopez of
Brooklyn and Mancuso of st. Louis.
While the world series was being played
in 1880, Connie Mack took occasion to
praise Mancuso. He said more In pri-
vate in praise Of him than he did in
public.
Mack Praises MancusO.
II would consider myself very fortu-
to assist Cochrane," said Mack. This
st. Louis boy has the right idea about
catching"
OF the older men behind the bat,
Gabby Hartnett Of Chicago easily was
the best in 1890 and for that matter was
easily the best Of either the young or
old catchers In both leagues.
Cincinnati has faith in Sukeforth, one
OF the younger catchers of that team,
but in general the Reds are not as
strong behind the bat as they have
been in other days. Dan Howley is
scouting for a catcher. He has faith In
his pitching staff, which he believes will
work much better with q tiptop man
behind the bat
OF the younger catchers Of the Ameri-
can League, Desautels OF Detroit i'm
pressed base ball men by his spirit and
skill in 1880 and he Is regarded as q
possible fixture, with q high rating.
The American League has not recruited
any young catcher of marked skill since
the Yankees obtained the services Of
Bill Dickey, and he had a bad season
in 1880.
