Art (Whattamam Shires, the pug,
dolefully admits it. George (Cry
Baby Zaharias, the grunter, boasts
in assertion. 1t still remains a ques-
ton of how long a glove tosser can
stay out of the clutches of the Crap
pier.
In bizarre melee at the Armory
last night, the Whattaman guy
came as near the accomplishment
as any one has, but he was out of
his element once George clamped
his talons around the midrift in the
second round.
Pounded on Jaw
But the Pueblo bad boy" is not
chewing his grub in his left cheek
today. Shires gave him a terrific
lacing to the jaw in the first round
and had him "out on his feet"
George all but gave up and was
not anxious to return for the second
canto. Shires grew excited and
shifted to an attack on the body,
which permitted the Cry Baby to
close in. There was one vice-like
bear hug which put Shires on the
mat. Referee Frank Buchanan
separated them when the grappler
started smuggling.
Two headlocks and body slam
were followed by a body smother
and the capacity crowd made a gen.
eral exodus. 1t happened l minute
IS seconds after the start of the
second round.
The talkative former baseball
football and boxing star had Ia
9harias down six times for approx
mately seven counts each time. Ia
harias leveled Shires off with the
required three-count just once
Wherein probably lies the answer
to the fighter-wrestler question.
George claims he can whip any
fighter living-but doesn't want to
prove it.
The BLACK Secret moved UP tc

last night to score an impressive
victory over Pete Schulz of Biz

Daniel Boone Loses
or Daniel Boone Savage, the hill
billy from Boyd County, Kentucky
has few tricks to learn about this
"scuffling" business.
After chasing Frank Speer
through the ropes and tossing him
over the hemps several times,
Savage entwined his huge arms
around the Atlanta grappler and
laid back contentedly on his back
to apply the pressure. He forgot
that his own shoulders were touch
ing the mat. Although Speer had
to be revived to leave the ring, he
was awarded the match in six
minutes.
Jack Morgan, newcomer from
Portland, Ore, won the opening

An important point established

May 16, however, there will be only
one 100 per cent rookie. He's Gene
Lillard, who hit 1861 with Los Angeles
last year. and who is coming along
nicely this spring.
Veteran Pitchers
The pitching first string is all
veteran, which means that it con-
sists of Warneke, Bill Lee, Larry
French, Charlie Root and Tex
Carleton. Fabian Kowalik, Roy
HenshaR and Clay Bryant are the
second line. Bryant is rookie put
of Birmingham. He hasn't done too
well this spring, but Grimm hasn't
changed his mind about keeping
him.
George Tucker Stainback of Los
Angeles is the clubs problem child.
He will be sent to a farm if Grimm

been pampered too much and thinks

Bobby Jones
Is Definite
Threat Again
Consistent Tune-Up Rounds
Mark Him Favorite
at Augusta.

4 bU CnfteQ fT6SS
AUGUSTA, Ca, April 1.-The an
cient cry of Bobby Jones against
| the field was near reality today
as the flfty-odd contestants in the
Augusta national golf championship
went through their final practice
rounds.
This is because the abdicated
emperor of the world of golf has
shown the most complete con-
sistency in the tune-ups for the
four-day, 72-hole test which ranks
with the Miami Biltmore as the one
best to win outside the American
championship.
Four days of practice have
brought the bronzed Mr.. Jones the
following figures: 64, So, 10. 20.
They total 272, which is 10 strokes
under the aggregate scores by Gene
Sarazen, winner in the playoff, and
Craig Wood in the 1885 test.
Jones himself isn't taking the
thing too seriously.
"Of course, I'd like to win" he
said today. But there are so many
fine golfers around that it would
be miracle if I were lucky enough
| to do it."
Even so, Jones remains near the
top of the book, 10-to-1 shot to
come through
Lowest priced player is Henry
Picard at to /. and next is Gene
Sarazen at 8 to /.
Sarazen doesn't like the 8-to-1
figure on his chances. He says
that ne isn't playing that kind of
golf. Picard, Gene says, is the man
to beat, Picard and Jones.
Bobby could come through and
surprise you," Sarazen said today.
But I'm not hitting the ball. I
hate to say it, but just don't seem
to care"
