The big New York boy has had
to fight every inch of the road
to win steady job, but now that
he has won the job he is improv-
ing at the bat. Harris was worried
because Greenberg could not de-
liver a hit in a pinch, but that has
all passed since the big fellow has
been playing regularly. Most fans
give the New York player the palm
for winning the seventeen inning
game against the White Sox on
Sunday and certainly his bat did
play a major share in that hectic
struggle.
At the same time that Detroit is
praising Greenberg it also wants

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, Feb. %
U.P)-The trance with which we
always surround ourselves while
fishing was broken today when a
gentleman perched some 10 feet to
our right on the Halifax river
bridge turned, and, apropos OF
nothing, asked if we thought the
Yankees were going to win the
American league race this year.
We told him we Thought SO 8
month ago, but now that they hac
rehired Sunset Burke as first bast
coach we were not at all sure that
mighty hitters though they be, thu
Yankees could get men on frs
faster than Sunset could manage
to get them picked off.
He said for us to put down oul
pole and he'd tell us who was going
tC win the American. We said no
that we already had caught 33 cat
fish and were out for the Volusia
county record of 80, established in
March of 1915 by fellow from
Bismarck, N. D.
But he wouldn't take no for an
answer, this man who said his
name was John Elliott.
He moved closer and started tell
ing us how he, a man who had
followed the Philadelphia Athletics
before the days of Plank and Ben
der, was sure Connie Mack's boys
would win.
You see," he said, they got rio
of Al Simmons. That was a big
help"
We told him getting rid of a .35C
hitter to give club new life
seemed like cutting off a leg tc
cure headache.
Il know it sounds funny" he
answered, "but this Simmons wasn't
interested in anything but his OWL
average, and was he ornery? He
wouldn't run out hits half the time
and was always calling the boys in
the bleachers names. This Lou Fin
ney who's going to replace him will
make you forget all about AIS hit

NeU Tax Ruling

UH - After racing here since
Christmas day, horsemen learned
for the first time today that the
Mexican government had imposed
a tax of six per cent on all purse
winnings, and a protest meeting is

The situation became known
when an owner attempted to take
his horse through customs. He was
informed he would have to pay Sc
tax for a $100 purse won recently,
and unless the tax was paid, the
animal would be forfeited.
The Aqua Caliente jockey club
pleaded ignorance of the tax, and
announced it would not be respon-
sible for the action. The govern
ment formerly assessed a one per
cent income tax against all purses,
and the jockey club at that time

CORBETT
To WIN TITLE

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. %. -
Five years of fighting without a de-
feat brought Young Corbett III, OF
Fresno, to the climax of his career
today when he faced a 10-round
bout with Jackie Fields for the
worlds welterweight championship
The fight, at Seals stadium, was
expected to start between $3.50 and
4 p. m,
Corbett met and decisioned
Fields in a non-title fight three
years ago, and he was rated a 10
to 8 fayorite to repeat. The odds
were 2 to on the challenger
peculiar state of affairs-until a
few days ago when the intensity of
the champions workouts gained
him added respect.
1t was one of the few times in
west coast history that cham
pion has prepared to fight on the
short end of odds.
Critics argued that Corbetts diff
ficult southpaw style would give
Fields trouble; that a nose injured
in training would not help the
champion; that Corbett has shown
great improvement over his fight
ing ability of three years ago.
On the Fields side OF the argu-
ment, however, it was noted the
champion exhibited more punching
power than ever before. He split
the seams of a punching bag in
his workout Monday He gave his
sparring partners no end of grief.
And he brimmed over with con-
fidence that his speed and youth
he's three years younger than 27-
year-old Corbett-would carry him
to victory.
No Foul Rule
Fields indicated he would use a
free-swinging, steady boring attack
to combat the long range sharp
shooting tactics of his speedy foe.
Less than a pound difference was
expected in their weight, with each
tipping the scales at 146 or lat.
Fans were assured of we'll

draw decision" was the watchword
of Lieut.. Jack Kennedy, of the U.
S. navy, chosen to referee. He was
given full leeway to use his own
discretion in the event OF low blows.
Twenty-Five thousand spectators
were expected to crowd into the
stadium to watch the first open
air bout of the year.

RUNNERS BURN
Up THE TRACK
BY JACK CUDDY

DnIIeu HresS SId1I correspondent
NEW YORK, Feb. %. = The
world indoor 60-meter record may
take another tumble Saturday night
when Emmett TOPPING and Ed Sic
gel, who equalled three marks last
night, battle it out with Ralph
Metcalfe for the national title.
With these three fastest humans
of the indoor tracks running at
top form, the feature event of the
American indoor championships at
Madison Square Garden should
develop into the "60-meter of the
century,
TOPPING, the New Orleans flyer,
flashed menacing speed last night
when he avenged Saturdays de-
feat by beating his conqueror Sic
gel in the 70-yard final of the
New York curb exchange games.
Breasting the yarn two feet ahead
of Siegel, he equalled the world
record of 7 seconds, set by Loren
Murchison in 1923, and matched
only recently by Ralph Metcalfe,
of Marquette, at the West Virginia
university games.
TOPPING and Siegel equalled
world records in their SO and 60
yard heats, respectively. The New
Orleans sprinter won the 50-yard
heat in So seconds, matching the
international mark set by j. G..
Loomis II years ago. This mark
had not been equalled before. He
finished a good stride ahead of
Ira Singer of New York.
Siegel, blond 19-year-old New
York whirlwind, bulleted through
the 60-yard heat in 6.2 seconds,
equalling the world record, feat
accomplished six time in 1882 by
TOPPING. Frank Wykoff of Cali
fornia, holder of the worlds out
door 100-yard record, finished only
a few inches behind him.
Their finishes in the two qualify
ing heats sent TOPPING, Siegel,
Wykoff and Singer into the 70-yard
final, where Wykoff finished third
and Singer fourth.

of cigarettes and two 100-pound
sacks of chicken starter mash were
stolen from the box car. which was
consigned to the A. & P. COM

He didn't like McNair getting mar

Foxx, he figured, was in for an
other great year, despite the fact
that not having Simmons to bat
ahead of him would get him passed
more. Cochrane, Elliott said, was
still the greatest catcher Of them
all and needed only little rest
now and then. And he was per-
fectly satisfied with the pitching
staff, although a trifle worried
about George Earnshaw.
IF Earnshaw will only train and
get rid of that fat, he'll be I'M

can do. Walberg is going to have
