That question will be settled
next Monday night at Turner's

battler, in the six-round semiwind-

Floored by Jimmy Wilson, Wor-
cester heavyweight, in the first
round Of his match a few weeks
ago at the Arena, Roesch came
back like a champion to flatten his
foe in the second round. Handled
by Harry Raskin, he looked like an
improved fighter.
TymoSko Is managed by Chris
Dundee. It took him two rounds
to polish off Stanley Ketchell at
the Arena. Joe Louis had to go

if that means anything.

at Miami Beach and now
is making q tour Of the training
camps.
Bucky Harris played the game
with Fred Sington in right, Jesse
Hill in center and Taft Wright in
left. 1t was Just a ball game for
the crowd, but it was a battle for
life with those three young men.
Cochrane has Just about de-
cided to play Rudie York at third
base. The terrific power Of the
indian has just about won him
the place over the smoother and
more experienced defense of Mar
win owen.
Jo-Jo White hit triple to start
the first inning on DeShong,
which was a most remarkable
start, especially for White. Fol-
lowed q base on balls to Gerry
Walker, and then Charley Geh-
ringer was hit by a pitched ball.
Maybe you think that DeShong
was finished, but he wasn't. Not
while he had a wild pitch in his
system. White scored while Ho-
gan ran down the wild heave, and
the other runners moved up to
score when Greenberg smacked q
double to right center.
Rudie York doesn't hit q ball;
he explodes a ball. He powered
one into left field that sang as it
went past Lewis. The kid fielder
never had q chance on him.
Lewis pranced back and made
q sweet catch Of Rowe's foul ball.
Lewis played that ball as If he
were an outfielder.
York whitfield in the second in
ming with the bases loaded and
was his face red! He skunk out to
that base as unobtruSively as a
210-pound giant can sink to a
place
Charley Gehringer faced the
pitcher three times without being
at bat once. How come? Well,
he was hit by pitched ball once
and walked twice.
York looked pretty bad on
Hogan's drive to left field. He
didn't start on the ball, which
fairly whistled past him.
When the game was over the
fans remembered only one thing
about York. They remembered
that he hit one of the longest
home runs ever seen in all the
world. They saw the man who
may raise the native American to
the station Of the worlds greatest
slugger.
Hill covered ground swiftly to
field Rogell'S looping single to
center field in the third inning.
Travis followed with fine play on
grounder which DeShong de-
Elected to the ground behind the
box.
Gerry Walker Is hitting the ball
harder this spring than ever be-
fore in his career, according to
Mickey Cochrane. He certainly
powdered the leather in sending
those two doubles to center field!
Fred Sington ground his teeth
in hate when he faced Schoolboy
Rowe in the second inning. What
is more to the point, he swung his
bat with power and knocked the
ball over the left center field

battle with the New York Yankees
assumes major Importance among
American League ball players. II
Ruffing sticks to his guns and
holds out this year, or if he re-
mains out of action so long that
he can not start the season in con-
dition to pitch, the Yankees will
be sorely handicapped.
Indeer, if Ruffing does not work
himself into condition, or If he
gets off to bad start, the Ameri-
can League race may develop into
a wide open race. The YankS won
by 1872 games last season.
Rutfing turned in 20 victories as
against IL losses, giving him a
balance of 8 victories, which sure
ly stands as a testimonial to
REDS" value to the Yankees.
"Unless Ruffing gets into &C

the Yankees are going to have
a tough time Of it," COchrane
said. 1T means that the Tigers

Bucky Harris then said:

Koverly, and some Of the other
bad men" of the padded canvas
tonight at Turner's Arena, where
he rubs> shoulders with Jack
Hader, the Kansas City desperate,
in the one-fall-toa-finiSh feature
match.

imaginary solution (alleged to be a
mixture of Baxter Burping and
Koverly Krushing), take few
whiffs of air, and rush into the
ring breathing fire and birthstone.

The idea is that Meske is tired
of being a mice guy" in the roped
arena-tired of being tossed
around, having his eyes gouged,
his bulky frame used as football
by some of the ring meanieS.
Thus when Ed Meske squares
"off with Jack Hader, who ranks
No. 3 on the Hate Man" list, Ed
Meske will be a blooming villain.
He will meet treachery with treach-
cry, villainy with villainy, and
rough stuff with rough stuff.
Meske, former Ohio State and
Wittenburg College athlete, one
time check protector salesman, is
getting his second main go shot.
He opposed Joe Dusek few weeks
ago at the arena, losing a much
booed decision after Jumpin' Joe

draw. Hader actually was dis

He got a big hand. Hader got

Tomorrow at
Roosevelt
BY GARRETT WATERS

BY GARRETT WATERS
The opening Of the interhigh
school baseball series tomorrow
at the Roosevelt Stadium is
quite an event for the woodrow
Wilson nine.
The Presidents, you see, will
be launching baseball for only,
the second time in the history
of the school. Last year the
boys did not compete in the in
terhigh games because Coach
Heintell believed the roster was
not quite ready for that sort OF
opposition.
But now the team is in good
condition and as thoroughly
stepped in baseball as any new
aggregation could be, considering
experience and talent.
Tomorrow q formidable Tech
High nine will be met. The
Trainers will be stubborn oppo-
sition, if only for the fact six
men well versed in high school
play will be on the field.
Wise, All-High
Those six are: Jimmy Wise,
who gained the All-High catch
ing berth; Walton Merchant,
Joe Ciomei and Abe Fillah, out
fielders; and Roy Lemerise,
third sacker, and Jimmy Ran
dali, first baSeman.
Despite this the wilson's are
primed to give terrific battle. A
battery combination of Kilmer
Bortz, pitcher, and Buck Barbee,
catcher. develops as one reason.
The other is the fact Coach
Heinteu has whipped a fair-to-
middling outfield and infield into
winning pitch. Last week this
roster performed Splendidly
against st. Adams, both hitting
and fielding to advantage in the
teams 3 to triumph.
The outfield group consists Of
Johnny Stevens, Bill Leech and
Travers Cammack, the latter
being the slugger of the team.
The infield comprises Bill
Hawksworth at first, Jack HoSkin-
son at second, Turk Mesrovain at
short, and Don Dunnington, at
third.
Big Question
The big question is whether
these boys will be able to stand
the gaff the series promises to pro-
duce. Heintel1, as said before, be-
lieves they're ready.
The Techites will go into action
tomorrow well set with their ar
ray Of experienced talent. Only
pitching strength is unknown.
But Rusty Thompson, coach,
who is handling baseball for the
first time at the T Street school,
has several promising youngsters
for service, including Tommy Doo-
mis-, who really should be claSSed
as q veteran because he is hold
over from the 1886 pitching corps;
Buddy Webb, 190-pound right
handler; Charlie Curtain, second
baSeman, and Jack Gordon, short
stop.
The game tomorrow has a $3.50
starting hour and is being played
at the Roosevelt Stadium because
the Tech field, original site, can
not be used, due to the lack of
a baseball diamond there.
