Local Ring Rivals
Key for Feature
Tiff at Armory
Cox and Brown Hold Daily
Workouts to Keep in
Top Shape.

Reports from the camps of Tracy
Cox and Willard Brown today in
dictate that the two glove throwers
will be in perfect condition for their
ten-round scrap at the Armory Fri
day night. The home town rivals
will battle it out for the state well
terweight championship.
Both maulers have been working
cut daily at the Colonial gym and
both are determined to "score" in
what is looked upon as ring nat
ural."
When Brown steps into the ring
Friday. he will weigh nine pounds
more than he did when he first
battled Tracy two years ago in Dali
las. Both Cox and Willard weighed
1873 for that fight. Today Tracy
scales 140 and Browns weight will
be lat by agreement.
Unusual interest in the scrap is
reported and many followers of the
roped arena believe that Brown will
outpoint his rival. Tracy gained
the nod by small margin in the
Dallas battle, staging a rally in the
final three rounds after Willard had
taken an early lead Browns fol-
lowers believe their fighter has
gained valuable experience and skill
during the past two years.
The State Athletic Commission
will present the winner with the
Indiana welterweight title belt.

Temper
Pratt Once Lost His, and
So He Became National
Skeet Champ.
BY PAUL BOXELL

BECAUSE he once got good and
ID mad at himself, Lowell S.
Pratt of indianapolis today holds
about all of the skeet honors
that a single marksman can
amass at one time.
Less than three years after he
first saw a clay pigeon sailing
through the air, Mr.. Pratt was
national skeet champion. That
really makes him a tenacious fell
low, for most other national
prominents in the game have been
at it for several years.
Skeet-though the name tinkleS
of child's pastime-it is very
much of an adult sport A clay
saucer is sent hurting out of a
contraption at rate of 60 miles
an hour, and the skeetsman plugs
away at it with shotgun. But
the skeetsman doesn't stand in
one place, draw a bead on the
clay and fire away No sir, in the
routine of a round of shots, ne
must shoot from various poStures,
at 80, 40 and 50-degree angles,
from different distances, with the
saucer coming toward him, going
away, ct cetera and so forth.
THREE years ago L. S. Pratt
l. was invited by a friend to a
local skeet range, and the young
man decided to traipse along to
see what it was all about. He
never had been on a scattergun
range.
Young Mr.. Pratt watched the
marksmen banging away at the
SaucerS awhile, and said to him.
self, THAT doesn't look so tough.
Can't figure why they miss SO
many" When those clays are
skimming along with no back
ground but the sky, they appear to
travel much slower than the clip
which they actually make.
So Mr.. Pratt got himself gun
and settled down to show the old
fellows just how simple it was.
He blasted away at the regular
block of Is birds-and broke only
seven.
That made me mad" recalls
Mr.. Pratt, land I decided to try
again"
On the second Is the aspiring
sharpshooter came up with ex-
actly seven hits.
Then was plenty sore. But
I didn't give up. I made up my
mind I was going to hit those
things if I had to stick it out all
year."
He kept plugging away. Be-
fore nightfall he could shatter
10 out of 25. 1t was fully a year
before he could occasionally bat
a thousand-25 out of IS.
MIR. Pratt connects more fire.

When he first started his shot

Mr.. Pratt had no idea he was

With Nan Schott at 642, Tydol

over Braden Sutphin Ink, which had

Actually, it will be the largest gate
of all time for fight of this type
one in which Pauline generally
is accorded little or no chance of
winning
A sell-out gathering of 1850 will
pay upward of $150,000 to see how
long the gold-toothed 36-year- old
Spaniard will be able to absorb
punches from a fighter who en-
countered no difficulty in kayoing
two former champions-Maxie Baer
and Primo Camera.
Pauline Never Flattened
There is practically no betting on
Uzcudun to win but, if you care to
play long shots, a dollar can get
you seven or more if the Basque
upsets the dope.
Pauline, who has fought some of
the best heavyweights in the bust
ness during the last IL years, never
has been kayoed or even kissed the
canvas. Thus, most of the betting
is being done at two-to-one odds
that Uzcudun does not go the full
Is rounds.
The Woodchopper of the Pyrenees
has different views on the subject,
however. In blast which he is
sued from his New Jersey training
camp today, Pauline said:
Tell Mr.. Jacobs he better wait
until next Saturday before he signs
anybody for Louis. They have
counted Pauline out before other
fights but no referee ever did it."
Germans Signature Sought
Pauline was referring to Jacobs
efforts to match Louis with Max
Schmeling, another ex-champion
who is trying to get back into the
picture.
Schmeling, who had been angling
for a shot at Jimmy Braddock's
crown, apparently is convinced that
he first must eliminate Louis. Both
Braddock and the New York State
Commission agree that Louis is the
leading contender. Jacobs is ex-
pected to sign Max some time this

Cardinals and
Giants Reveal
Player Trade
New York Club Sends Four
FASTENERS to St. Louis
for Whitehead.
BY WINTHROP LYMAN
United Press staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Dec. TO- - Connie
Mack, venerable manager of the
Philadelphia Athletics, is expected
to provide the biggest news of the
annual major league baseball meet
ing today by announcing another of
his famous player deals.
Reports say he will send Eric
McNair, shortstop; Roger Cramer,
outfielder; Jimmy Foxx, first base
man, and Johnny Marcum. pitcher.
to the Boston Red Sox in exchange
for 100000 cash and three players
The Boston athletes said to be
involved are Gordon DUSTY
Rhodes, pitcher; Babe Dahlgren,
first baseman, and either Carl
Reynolds, outf1elder, or Mel Armada,
infielder.
If the deal is consummated &C
cording to schedule it will mark an
other attempt of Tom Yawkey, mil
lionaire Red Sox owner, to fulfill
his burning ambition to produce a
pennant winner.
In the winter of 1888 Yawkey pur-
chased Lefty Grove, RUDE Walberg
and Max Bishop from the Athletics
when he found that Mack was in
one of his periodic needs for hard
cash.
Needs Cash Badly
Mack dislikes getting rid of his
remaining stars, especially Foxx,
this winter, but once more he is
badly in need of cash. Neither he
nor officials of the Red Sox have
confirmed the reported deal, but it
seems to be common knowledge
among the Boston and Philadelphia
sports writer's.
Both major leagues will hold
their first sessions today.
The only deal announced so far
was the big mystery" transaction
between the New York Giants and
st. Louis Cardinals. 1t was made
during the minor league meeting at
Dayton month ago.
Giants Make Report
Horace Stonehain, son of the
owner of the Giants, revealed that
his club traded Pitchers Roy Par
melee and Allyn Stout, Second Base
man AL Cucinello and Utility In
man. Whitehead will play the key
stone sack for the Giants, reliev-
ing the veteran Hughie Critz.
Whitehead filled in for frankie
Frisch last summer when the Card
manager was indispoSed. The young
ster batted .258. Weintraub, Stout
and Cuccinello probably will be
sent to Columbus in the American
Association, a Cardinal farm.
Report Klein on Block
Earlier in the afternoon Monday,
Branch Hickey, farm boss for the
Cardinals, had put out story from
st. Louis for release in today's pa
pers, saying that his club obtained
only Parmalee and Weintraub for
Whitehead.
Attempts of the White Sox to sell
or trade AL Simmons to the Tigers
failed to get past the preliminary
stage yesterday despite long con-
ference between the club managers.
Cochrane complained that the
Sox demand too high a price for
the big outfelder.
Another of the many rumors cir
culating was that the Cubs want to
trade Chuck Klein to the Phila-
delphia Nationals for Pitcher Curt
Davis. What probably will happen,
however, is that the Cubs will buy
Davis.

AGREEMENT

Many editors agree with the Cleve-
land News (Rep) that the veterans
ARE now more certain of getting
their bonus promptly than they have
been at any time so far"
The New Deal. ii says, is fndlng
it increasingly difficult to answer
these arguments:
I. The Roosevelt Administration
has $4.OOO.OOO,OOO to distribute as
buying power,
2. Why not use half of this to pay
the bonus, because:
3. Viewed as direct relief" two
billions probably will go as far as
four billions in work-relief; and be-
cause:
4. Since the twO-billion bonus
must be paid, anyhow, this scheme
will hold the government debt to the
present four billions. instead of in
creasing it to six billions.
There is little chance that those
who oppose payment Immediately
will be able to overcome these argu-
ments with their lone statistical plea
that to pay up in full now would be
giving the soldiers more than Uncle
Sam promised"
