The team has been handicapped
by lack of height, a difficulty

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 9.-John
Henry Lewis, world light heavy

in a 15-round "grudge fight" here.

The bout was exciting during the
early rounds, but dwindled in in

each man having an eye closed,
and Lewis bleeding profusely from
his right eye.

Ray Ingram threw his hat into
the main event rings in local box
ing circles by throwing enough
left hands into the face of joey
Wach to win a unanimous de-
cision at Turner's Arena last night.
The tranSplanted Floridian put
on a show for local ring worns
that can best be described as "all
right"
Wach was heralded as a tough,
clever and aggressive citizen. He
proved to be all of these, but
Ingram met him with left for left,
speed for speed and aggressive
ness for aggreSSiveneSs. But where
Wach left off, Ingram carried on
with a fine demonstration of lead
slipping, counter punching and in
fighting.

Gehringer Best
Ball Player
By PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, Feb. 9 Q.NS).
With a contract said to call for
$4,000 safely tucked in his pocket,
Tony Lazzeri, the brains" Of the
Yankees today predicted the
Yanks, Tigers and Indians would
run one-two-three and paid tribute
to Charley Gehringer of the Tigers
as the greatest player he had ever
seen.
Tony carefully weighed the
merits of Cobb, Ruth, Speaker,
Hornsby, Collins, Gehrig and other
greats of the diamond, and then
remarked:
"Ive seen a lot Of wonderful
players but for all-arOund abik
ity, I'll pick Gehringer. If there
is . perfect ball player, he's it.
He can do everything. He Is the
best hitter in the league. He
can bunt, drag one, hit to any
field or slam one q country mile.
SURE FIELDER
"He's fast and sure In the
field and fast on the bases. He
can go to either side for .
grCunder, or back for a pop fly
and he's a honey as a pivot on
a double play.
"He plays the hitters per.
fectly, he's got an ideal diSpOsi.
tiOn, he's a team player, he's
got courage and brains. 1 don't
know If he can cook, but he Ger.
tainly can do about everything
else"
Tony can't see the Indians a.
serious pennant contenders, even
with Bob Feller on the mound.
Lazzeri adds:
"The kids still got to prove
himself. He has a hitch In his
throw at the elbow. But, at that,
he's got plenty Of swift. But you
simply can't get away from the
Tigers. They're the team TO
beat, especially with COchrans
and Greenberg back on the
job"
