Ali Bahia Gains
Shikat' S Title

DETROIT, April 25.-Wres.
things big time had a new cham.
pion today-Ali Bahia, a Detroit
Turk, who defeated Dick Shikat
in a title bout for the worlds
heavyweight championship here
last night.
Shikat, thrown from the ring
twice before he was defeated in 46
minutes and 40 seconds, was taken
to a hospital for observation and
x-ray examination. It was feared
he might have suffered a possible
fractured spine.
With his defeat, Shikat's court
difficulties at Columbus, Ohio,
may be over since those suing him
will no longer find his service Of
value as champion, and, it was
reported, they may drop their
actions.
Ali Bahia, billed as the Terrible
Turk, weighs 201 opunds, and is
a hairy-chested stocky figure. He
keeps his head shaved bald and
wears a handle-bar mustache.
He says his name is really Ali
Bahia, that he is a native Of
Turkey but, it was learned, he has
been around the Detroit Turkish
colony long enough to vote.
In private life, he sports
checked and other brilliant colored
suits which some haberdashers
describe as screamingly-loud. He
is the latest in a fast changing
list of championship Londos,
Danno O'Mahoney, Shikat and
now Bahia.

Detroit last night, is still the

Commission is concerned, Chair.
man Phelan said today.
This stand may be altered when,
and if, an official report is received
here, he said, but because Ali Bahia
pitched Shikat out Of the ring, the
Terrible Turk committed a foul.

MOT only have the Bees won II out
' of % games thus far to place
just a game behind the Cubs, but
their two ties and the overtime tri-
umph yesterday indicate they have
what 1t takes to come through In the
clutches. The first Boston runs came
in the fourth. when Al Lopez smacked
a homer with one on, and gave the
Bees a one-run lead. The Bucs tied
it up in the next inning. then Waite
Hoyt and Danny MacFayden hooked
up in relief hurting duel that wasn't
decided until Hoyt gave up his first
hit in the tenth.
The Phils, who also have shown
the ability to do some real damage
to the leaders, hit more effectively
than the Reds, although each team
got IA blows.
Monte Pearson had little trouble
subduing the Browns with six hits
and an equal number Of strikeouts
to gain his fourth victory for the
Yanks.
Tigers Bats Weak.
THE World Champion Tigers could
get only six blows of Rube Wal
berg and Fritz Ostermueller, Boston
lefties. Seven walks off Walberg made
trouble until Bill Werber belted his
first homer of the season with two
aboard to bring in all the Boston
runs. Schoolboy Rowe, who retired
after six innings because of a sore
arm. was the victim of the fourth
inning wallop.
A possible explanation for some Of

SOMETHING, of course, must be
done. It's all very nice for a ball
club to invade st. Louis and figure on
winning two or three ball games, but,
after all, it costs money to run a
major-league team and the town can
not be depended upon to even meet
expenses. Whether it's the fault of
the st. Louey citizens or the fault of
Hornsby or the fault of the Browns
pitcher, 1t Is imperative that action
be taken.
That, It's said, is what is wor-
rying American League officials
as well as club owners and sec
retaries Of visiting teams. All
Winter and Spring they thought
that Philadelphia would be the
only sore spot in the league.
With all the Athletic stars sold,
1t was reasoned, interest would
strike new low.
1t did for while but, somehow
Connie Mack manages to keep his club
keyed up. Philadelphia has been
fighting down to the last out, and the
Quaker City fans have decided that as
long as the Athletics are battling. they
are worth watching. Lately the Phil
adelphia receipts have been most well
come. But the Browns box-ofhce
figures are something else again. Oc-
casionally loser will make money at
the box-office, but rarely will a quit
ting team show a profit.
And from what is said within
the ranks of boys who make
their living by playing ball, the
Browns are coming pretty close
to doing Just that.
