New Baseball League To Organize
Thru The
SPORT MIRROR
BY RUSSELL J. COwASs

?School. then under Stages lnstruc-
ton, fell under the rushing OF this
pile-driyIng back. Duke Slater,
while at Iowa, made great holes
in the Chicago line for Aubrey De
vine. and Gordon Locke to rush
through. And so did other Negro
players.
Notwithstanding the sterling play
OF the colored players on other
teams, Stagg was adamant aud
would not give them a chnce at
the University OF Chicago.
Considerable criticism has been
directed at the Northwestern Uni
yersity football players for their
unnecessary roughness in the game
against Michigan at Evanston last
Saturday. And criticism OF a none
too gentle nature has been hurled
at Tangora. left guard for the
Northwestern eleven, who tried to
punch Willis Ward during the
game.
According to a report coming
from Ann Arbor. the Michigan
players were incensed at the action
OF Tangora and several other
Northwestern players In trying to
rough Ward. Ward was compelled
to hold Tangora to avoid being as
sailed by the Northwestern player.
Other Michigan players showed
visible signs OF the roughness Of
the Northwestern team.
Tho affair, while regretabla,
serves notice on other players that
Ward is well BILE TO take care Of
himself. The big end. realizing that
here was a ticklish situation, kept
his head and refrained from indulg-
ng In flstlcuffs with Tangora and
being elected from the game. Per-
haps that would have ben to North
Westerns liking.
Just before entering Michigan in
1890, Ward had made arrange
monts to enroll az Northwestern
Perhaps the Evanston boys were
out to chastse Willis forleaving
them in the lurch.
Tho rough treatment at the
hands of Northwestern players Will
prime ward for Il tough afternoon
next year when Michigan meets
Georgia Tech. Ward is going to
play!
During the early part OF the sea
son criticism came rolling down
from the, north about certain play
burgh who gave more attention TO
ers on the University OF Pitts
roughing Harbold. Minncsta's big
substitute guard, than to the Of
fense and defense OF the Minnesota
team. That is the reason. accord
ing to the critics. the eastern team
was on the short end OF the score.

Has Kid Chocolate started a
hasty retreat down the road that
leads to pugilistic oblivion?
Or will the affair of the past week
cause Inn to realize that one can
stop and not indulge IN the vices
along the road of success?
These are the questions foremost
In the minds OF the fans following
the hasty disposal Of the little
Cuban by Tony Canzoner. former
lightweight champion. in the soc
ond round Of a scheduled ten round
bout In Madison Square Garden
last Friday night.
The little New Orleans Italian
finished the frail Chocolate with
artistic skill, and dispatch. when
the bell sounded for the opening
of the second round Tony leapcd
into Chocolate causing him TO drop
his guard under the terrific body
attack. A hard right flashed to
Chocolates jaw and he went down
FIR the count of nine.
He was groggy and only the
fighting instinct caused him TO at
tempt to carry on. Another crush
ing right to the chin and the little
Cuban went down and out for the
first time in hs brilliant career.
But the swift disposal OF Choco-
late by Canzoneri comes as no sur
prise to those who have been
watching the acton of the Bon Ton
during the past three years. The
Cuban has been hitting the high
spots, wlning, dining and dancing
in the night clubs OF New York and
other places where he has shown.

One OF the teams for the annual
Rose Bowl laurels New Years Day,
has been selected. Stanford Univer-
sity will represent the West.
In the meantime Army and Prin--
ceston loom as the two foremost
contenders for the honor of repre-
sentlng the East. Duke University
llso has a chance TO get the inyi-
taton.
1t was back in 1916 that the Rose
Bowl. in Pasadena, Calf. was
opened. Brown University and
Washington State were the oppos-
ing teams on the turf at this grand
affair. Washington State won 14-0.
Brown had completed one OF Is
greatest seasons. Mainly through
he effective work Of Fritz Pollard,
It's all-American half back, Har-
ward and YLale, two rivals many
yers, were bowled over on success
siye Saturdays. Colgate was the
only team to stymie the onward
march OF the Bruins.
Another member OF the Brown
team in the opening game was
Wallace Wade, present coach az
Duke University and former coach
OF Alabama. Wade has been back
TO the Rose Bowl three times since
his first trip In 1916.
Wade took Alabama to the coast
three tines. His eleven defeated
University Of Washington. 20-19 in
1926; fought TT te with Stanford
the following year, and humbled
Washington State, $40 in 1891.

About four weeks ago a news
release from Kansas City stated
that J. l.. Wilkinson, owner Of the
Kansas City Monarchs and one of
the original owners in the Negro
National League was trying TO re-
organize that defunct organization
But how about the National Ne
gro League which has been func-
tioning for the past year? Detroit
had team in that league in 1888
AMI If we are not mistaken. re-
tains that franchise. This, not
wiihsianding the fact that baseball
pctered out in the Motor City to
ward the Tag end of the season.
Of course there is the possibility
that Roesink who is a very good
friend to j. l.. Wilkinson. would
much rather sit horses in a new
league with some one else than try
and ride the tough broncho as hi
did last summer. John Is wis
old baseball bird.
Detroit needs a base ball team
Detroit has drawn in the past and
vii draw in the future. But the
fans will not support sand lot
team IN organized base ball.
Base ball has been abused more
in Detroit than in any other city
IN America. Owners have failed TO
pay PLAYERS and the conduct OF
some Of the players has been naus-
eating to the fans.
