Get Tough!
Luzzeri Must Get
TOugh With Mates

CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-Where
Tony Lazzeri finally will wind up
with the Chicago Cubs was big
baseball mystery here today, but
owner P. K. Wrigley made it
plain on one point. In 1888,
Tony's job will be to get "a little
tough with the boys.
Commenting on the signing Of
Lazzeri yesterday as a coach and
utility player, Wrigley said:
1--WE all know that manager
Charley Grimm can not get
tough with ball players. 1t just
isn't in his nature. Here's a
fellow who will help him. After
seeing him on the ball field and
talking to him a bit, I'm sure
none Of the players will tie any
knots in his tail.
Furthermore, I think we put
entirely too big a load on
Grimm's shoulders last year. It's
really quite a job to keep track
of % temperamental men, to
know how they're feeling and
doing at all times on and off the
field"
In the meanwhile speculation as
to Lazzeri'S future was widespread.
The general feeling was that Lag
zeri would not ask to be released
from the New York Yankees, to
take a job as coach and utility
player" unless he had been prom.
ised something much more lucra'
tive at an early date.

The scene Of action is Griffith sta

The Tulsa team carries all the

PREPARED FOR TILT
George Washington University
is prepared for real game of
football. The boys came through
the Alabama battle in fine style.
Turner will run in the blocking
backs position tonight, and that,
perhaps, will add the necessary
power to the George Washington
attack. So far this season the
history Of Colonials football has
been written in terms Of wasted
power. IF the force that ragged
embarrassed can be coordinated
tonight. then the Colonials may
score touchdowns for which the
cheering section ferVently pleads.
The task of Georgetown's

row will be to check the Green
inside Of the 20-yard line. Man.

neutral territory, but it has not
marched consistently inside Of the

final analysis, is where football
games are won.

Manhattan has q clever passing
attack, and 1t probably will be
through the air that the men in

tomorrow. Vic Fusia handles that

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Although
Henry Armstrong spent his last
few hours before the battle trying
to get down to the featherweight
division limit of 1875 pounds, he
was a 1-to-3 favorite today to at
least outpoint Petey Sarron to-
night and gain general recogni-
ton as the featherweight cham
pion of the world.
Armstrong; handlers insisted
he would be ready today at the
weighing-in ceremonies at the re-
CURED poundage, but the skeptics
held to the notion that this was
one of the few occasions when a
superior fighter would be whipped
by the age-old difficulty of getting
down to the weight.
DOWN TO WEIGHT
Sarron, a natural featherWeight,
was down to the required weight
yesterday, while Armstrong went
back to the road to jog some more
in an effort to pare off two or
three pounds.
1t all adds up to the fact that
Sarron may win because Arm
strong may be too weak to fight,
the latter having compiled an i'm
presSive knockout record at 100
pounds.
In any case, the show has in.
trigued the customers to the ex-
tent that Promoter Mike Jacobs
anticipates a crowd that will pay
upwards of $4,000, which would
be signal success for his first
venture in Madison Square Gar
den, which he recently obtained.
Sarron is guaranteed SIS, 900
and Armstrong $500 to compile
a socalled nut" of $22,5O0 before
the doors are even opened. More
over, the fighters have the right
to take a percentage if it runs
ahead of the flat guarantee on
the basis of the crowd present.
While Promoter Jacobs stands
10 lose if the crowd stays away,
the featherweignt division can't
miss capitalizing on this one. in
asmuch as an undisputed title
holder for the division will be
crowned for the first time since
1882 when Bat Battalino abd1-
Gated.
Armstrong goes into the fray
with the stamp of champion from
the California commission, and
Sarron is the standard-bearer for
the National Boxing Association.
The New York commission like
wise will string along with the
winner to make it unanimous.
The California Negro has
knocked out 26 Of "a opponents
aro stands today as one Of the
most destructive fighters ever to
carry on among the little men.
Factors in Sarron's favor are his
experience through more than 200
bouts all over the world, his dur
ability. and his ability to make
the division limit without diff
ficulty.

On PASSING
For Victory

They pass the ball with the great
est of ease, and unlike jaycee teams
OF the past, they complete most
OF the passes.
Friday night the El Centro ju-
nior collegians will count on their
ability to toss the ball to all cor
ners of the field to beat beefy

The rival clubs will clash on the
FL Centre high school field and
unless the dopesters are radically
wrong, fans will see the two strong
est teams in the valley battle for
victory.
The FL Centrans boast no out
standing stars but will present the
best balanced ball club they have
shown in recent years.
And the spirit of this years
club is far better than that of any
Arab team in several years.
A victory for FL Centre over the
Brawley eleven will insure the
Arabs OF their most successful sea-
