DALLAS ADDED
To MAT CARD

Pete Dallas, the grunt and
grimmace expert, has been lined
up on Promoter Joe Freeman's
wrestling program, to be held
next Tuesday night at the Strand
Theater beginning at $3.50 o'clock.
Pete, known for his ferocious-
ness in previous appearances, will
grapple with Cyclone Smith, a
veritable hailstorm from New
York, l an effort to grab new
victory for his belt.
A second preliminary, ar
ranged almost on top Of the
DalIaS-Smith affair, lists two
very well,knOwn and rough and
ready grapplerS in Tony RiccO.
from New York, and Archie
Parker, out of Freeman'S own
stable.
These preliminaries give the en-
tire affair a real aspect, as three
headliners feature the order Of
things. The main bout will test
Jack Sherry against Boris
Demitroff.
Pat McGill meets Andy Brown
in one of the other headline ex-
hibitions. while George Vassell and
Rex Smith balance the programs
with their match.
All of these bouts will be fought
to the finish, which indicates a
great show. Dallas is seeking a
crack at Chief White Feather, DR..
Wilson, Tiny Roebuck or John
Maxos. Despite his 16O pounds,
he feels that he can defeat any
Of the mentioned grapplers and
would like to prove it. All of
which would mean a grudge
match, if any of the above heavies
listened to Dallas pleaS.

ner, high and prep school ath-
letes are intensifying their ef'
forts to get in prime shape for
diamond and track activities.
Through the early part Of this
week, when the sun was not quite
so genial, the baseball coaches
gave their batteries workouts in
door.
Yesterday, however, the ma
iority Of coaches brought their
teams out in the sunlight and
gave them a chance to get good,
fresh air into their lungs.
Nal Edwards, Teck mentor, Is
cptomistic about his set of mound
prospects. He has husky vet
eran, Gordon BatSon, back after
an absence of a couple Of years,
who looks particularly formidable.
Others who loom as probable box
choices are George Wood, Bill
Wernstein, Bob Willard and Hero
Purchase. Albert CranShaw, Wei
lens and RuppertuS are catching
possibilities. But Mel would like
to have one stand-out backstop,
and a couple Of better than aver
age outfielders.
Ty Rauber's turnout at Gen.
tral is more than promising,
having recruited two crack
players who have already made
their mark in scholastic circles,
Emmett BuScher, a pitcher,
served time at Tech and Emer-
son, and Tom Heflin was a
former Tech aIl-high third
baSeman.
Leading pitching candidates,
besides Buscher, are Johnny De
Bettencourt, Jack Wright, Bill
Myers, Francis Edwards, Jack
Bonner and Harry Colliflower,
and in the catching department,
Dick Cook, Joseph Herman, Dun
lop, Francis and Williamson.

tivities until after the holiday,

BILLY EVANS
MAY HEAD
LEAGUE:
Continued From Page -


formed baseball circles today, the
names of the following having
come up for discussion n this
connection:
Edward Barrow, secretary and
business manager of the New
York Yankees and former man.
ager Of the Boston Red SOx.
BILLY" Evans, business man
ager Of the Cleveland Indians.
Mayor Jimmy" Walker, Of
New York city.
william Harridge, secretary
Of the American League.
Frank Navin, president of the
Detroit Tigers and vice presi'
dent of the American League.
Clark Griffith, owner of the
Washington Senators.
Connie Mack, manager of the
world champion Philadelphia
Athletics.
No immediate action toward
the election of new president
to succeed Barnard is likely to
be taken.
Navin in Charge
Frank Navin, vice president OF
the league, and William Har'
ridge, the secretary, are expected
to take over the reins dropped by
Barnard, with Navin acting as
the nominal head of the league
Most likely no successor to Bar
nard will be named until the
annual American League baseball
meeting next winter.
Ed Barrow, the New York
Yankees business manager, is
regarded as a strong possibility
for the position. He has spent
q lifetime in baseball and knows
every angle of the game. He
managed the Boston Red Sox for
three years prior to his coming
to New York in the fall of 1920:
Prior to that, he was president OF
the International League tor
seven years.
Evans Is Prominent
BILLY" Evans, business man.
eger of the Cleveland Americans,
Is also prominently mentioned.
He Is almost ideally equipped for
the task. He is comparatively
young, yet he has been in base,
ball for years.
Mayor Walkers name cropped
up in the discussion today when
It was recalled that about seven
years ago-before he was elected
mayor of New York City-h1s
name was suggested for the presl-
dency of the league. Walker S
present trials and tribulations in
politics has indicated to some of
his friends that he might resign
the mayorship.
William Harridge, secretary o.
the league under Barnard, ana
also under johnson, knows the
routine of the office better than
any other man in the business
He was reelected secretary last
December for five years at the
same time Barnard was reelected
president for the same period.
Navin Declined Job
Although Frank Navin of De
trOit will become the nominal
head of the league, he said In
Detroit today he would not &C
cept the position permanently
He is strongly intrenched in De
trOit as president of the Tigers
Clark Griffith, owner of the
Washington Senators, is believed
to be too taken up with his own
business interests in Washington
to loom as a very strong posi-
bility. He is eminently fitted fol-
the task, however, having spent
his whole life in baseball.
Age probably would prevent
Connie Mack of the Philadelphia
Athletics from accepting the job
The consensus seemed to be
today that BarnA DIS successor
would be either Ed Barrow
"Billy" Evans or William Har
ridge.
