N. Y.F|ST|C PROBE
MERE WORD WAR
Editors Gambling Charges
Bring Veracity Debate
With Phelan.
The Associated prsSS


n YEw YORK, January 15.-An
nj exchange of accusations and
VI denials between Nat Fleischer,
editor of the boxing maga-
zine. the Ring, and John j. Phelan,
chairman Of the New York State Ath-
letic Commission. left the commits
sion no further along today in its in
vestigation of various charges made
by Fleischer in a radio talk.
Called before the commission to ex-
plain his accusations, Fleischer re-
peated that in an investigation. made
at the request Of boxing fans, he had
learned one of the commissions in
spectors had placed bets with gam
blers after learning how the judges
were scoring the fight.
Name of Man Given.
HE TOLD Commissioner Bill Brown
about the matter, he said, and
Brown told him he had turned the
information over to Phelan, who had
Checked" the employe and found the
charges groundless.
Fleischer said he disliked to name
the inspector because he had learned
the man had discontinued his re-
lations with gamblers.
Soon after I talked with Commis-
sioner Brown" Fleischer continued,
Gen. Phelan called me on the tele-
phone and at his insistence I repeated
the inspectors name with the under
standing that Phelan would not dis
charge the man, but talk to him in
fatherly manner and let the Incl
dent go at that. To this MIR. Phelan
agreed"
That was about as far as the in
vestigation went.
Conversation Is Denied.
. "r deny that absolutely" Phelan
sputtered. 81 never have talked with
this man about this subject. I deny
every word of it."
AS Fleischer protested, the chair
man reiterated, II deny it. It's my
word against yours"
"I'n match mine against yours any
day." retorted Fleischer.
Brown finally intervened. Fleischer
was persuaded to name the inspector
for the records and agreed to appear
again Friday, bringing witnesses. The
inspector also will be summoned for
questioning.

Tony can be expected to do well for

about midseason he begins to weaken.
The available reserves are Don Heff-
ner and Jack Saltzgaver, who haven't
shown yet that they can fill the bill.
Then there's the question Of short
stop Frank Crosettis ailing knee.
Crosetti was put out Of action by an
injury late last season and the Yanks
were put into a hole, He underwent
a knee operation, and reports he Is in

Lindstrom Is Spurned.
FIRST base, where Lou Gehrig ap-
parently Is q fixture, and third
base seem to be the least of McCar-
thy's problems, even If he doesn't get
Higgins from the Athletics.
Red Rolfe has been doing so well
there that the manager refused to
show any interest in Freddy Lind
strom. recently released by the Cubs.
If the Higgins deal goes through
Rolfe may be tried at second, al
though Joe is doubtful about his sue
cess IN that bertn.
In the outfield Ben Chapman In
center and George Selkirk In right are
considered figures and Young Joe di
Maggie, brilliant Coast League rookie,
is slated to play left field.
The battery department doesn't
worry Mccarthy. with Bill Dickey be-
hind the plate ana Lefty Gomez,
Charley Rufhng, Johnny Broaca,
Monte Pearson. Johnny Murphy and
Jimmy de shong doing the tossing.
The clubs strength there and hopes
for strong comebacks after slump

again:

BY the Associated PreSS.
PHILADELPHIA, January i5.-Lean
Lefty Grove predicted today the
coming pennant drive will find him
better than last year when he topped
American Leagues pitching for earned
runs
The No. l comeback of 1885, ar
irving here after signing new con-
tract tor next season, which is re-
ported to carry a salary boost, said
he's near the peak of condition even
now.
Because of the accident to my arm
in 1884, could take no chances last
year, and always had to be careful" /"
he said. "But now that it's strong
again. I'll be able to hit it up harder
this year.
For the Red sox in general, the
fireball artist saw even brighter pos
sibilities. With the purchase of Jimmy
Foxx, Doc Cramer and Prez McNair
from the Philadelphia Athletics, Lefty
believes the Sox are "tops."
1--WE ought to be right in the thick

pugilistic services tied up for
five years, probably would be
just as surprised as any one else If
Charley Retzlaff should whip the
Brown Bomber Friday night, but such
an eventuality would not find him un-
prepared.
Jacobs said he had an option on the
North Dakota slugger for three fights,
apparently on a just-in-case basis.

Century Sporting Club of New York.

Louis in training for the bout.
Heavy Advance Sale.
WHILE both boxers hammered SPAR
ring partners about, the manage
ment disclosed that the advance sale
Of tickets had passed $4,000. Plenty
Of seats of all kinds still remained,
however.
Louis put in his heaviest day since
he started training. He boxed seven
rounds with an assortment of part
ners, but concentrated on Otis
Thomas. Thomas, biggest and most
active Of the catchers. devoted his
time to defending himself, but took a
severe body beating. Louis did not
score a knockdown, concentrating on
speed and timing rather than hard
punching.
Retzlaf, who has been accused Of
being ''right-hand crazy" worked i'm
pressively. He landed lot Of sharp
right-hand punches, but mixed them
with the best left hand he has shown
in drills. He boxed only three rounds,
all of them with Harry Nelson of De-
troit, who was nailed frequently.

row and Thursday.
The supporting card lines up with

Some of Ruth's longest drives have

Gehrig, Foxx and Greenberg can
plaster base ball, but the top plas-
terer still is Babe Ruth. and it will
take a lot of heavy artillery to blast
the old Bambino from the pinnacle.
When you can average 35 homers a
year for 20 years. you are setting
dizzy pace. The big fellow still has
the call.
But we still can sit back and see how

Foxx---- 1,256 4 1876 975 1,4S9 302 .339
There is one remarkable feature
about these lifetime figures, which
Prof. Al Munro Elias has gathered
through the years. This is the per-
centage grouping of the three, who
are less than three points apart. The
Babe holds one-point lead over Geh-
rig, his former slugging mate, while
Gehrig still is two notches in front of
Foxx.
Gehrig is nearly 900 games back Of
Ruth in playing time. while Foxx is
only halfway along the road
The vital statistics of this chart
show that the Babe averaged a home
run every three and one-half games
just about home run for every series
played. Neither Foxx nor Gehrig so
far has approached this ratio in Wal
lopland, although Foxx leads Gehrig.
To dig trifle deeper into the argu-
ment, 50 per cent of all Babes base
base hits were home runs, % per cent
