ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Feb. G.
R-Homerun King Jimmy Foxx of
the Boston Red Sox insisted today
that the Sox won't toss in the towel
when they meet the New York
Yankees.
To a big extent, he said, it's the
inferiority complex of the seven 9TH
er American league teams that's
made it possible for the Yanks to run
off so many pennants and titles.
II never have seen an invincible
baseball team" said Foxx, "but the
other clubs in the American league
seem to think the Yankees are that
sort of team. Some of them throw
in the towel before the umpires call
play ball. They keep their star
pitchers on the bench"
Foxx suggested that the clubs
which have been giving in too
easily to the Yankees, ponder tho
case Of Connie Mack's 1882 Athletics.
I'VE had won three straight pen
nants and everyone figured we'd
make it four. That is, everyone but
the other clubs" Foxx recalled.
Instead of folding up, they fought
Us tooth and nail that season and
we finished second, 10 games back
Of the Yankees, with the same club
that had been on top three straight
seasons"
Foxx declared the Yanks undoubt-
eddy are the team to beat again this
year but they're not invincible and
we Red Sox, for one, are likely to
give them a whale of a battle. We
outhit them last year but our pitch
ing begged down."
The slugger said pitchers like Jim
Bagby, Woody Rich, Charles Wag-
ner, and rockies like Herb Nash,
and Will Lefebvre will train with
the Sox at Sarasota this spring and,
at least two of them ought to de
liver the goods"

", L. |. TO MEET
-. Y FIVE TONIGHT
Game Between Two Leading
Teams In Service Loop To
Decide Circuit Title

Final games in the second half
schedule Of the Service Basketball
league will be played in the Y. M.
C. A. gym tonight, with Company
1 meeting the Tide Water quint in
the curtain-raiser.
The last meeting of these two
teams turned out to be quite q
scrap. with the Tide Water taking
an early lead but fading in the
second half. If the Tidewater is
able to capture this game, it will
share the cellar position with Com
pany I.
The feature game of the evening
and probably of. the a will be
the W. l. I.-Y. M. c. A.. entangle-
ment. At present, the Artillerymen
hold one decision over the Triangles
in this half and are leading the
league by virtue Of that win. The
~" team can throw the second
half into a tie by winning tonight's
game; having won four and lost
n game while the w. l.. L. has
won five and has no losses to its
credit.
In the last game between these
two teams, the "Y" led most of
the way, only to see ". L. I. bring
out its heavy guns in the closing
moments to exc out a win, by the
skinniest Of margins.

National Loop Requests
New Code For Baseball
Frick Authorized To Name
Committee To Meet With
A. L. On Matter
BY JUDSON BAILEY

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-R-Taking
cognizance of the many proposals,
including one from Commissioner K.
M. Lands for reconstructing the
framework of organized baseball, the
National league called today for an
early start on a new major.minor
agreement.
President Ford Frick was author.
lied to appoint a committee of four
to meet with similar committees
from the American league and the
National association (minor leagues)
to draft a code to replace the one
that expires January II, 1912.
The league issued this statement
MANY proposals have been made
to change or clarity the present
rules and regulations in baseball.
"Inasmuch as the major-minor
league agreement expires in 1912,
customarily necessitating the ap-
pointment of committees by both
the major leagues and the national
association the National league
hereby authorizes and directs the
president of the National league to
appoint on or before March /. 1910,
a committee OF four, including him.
self, to consider the various pro.
posals above referred to.
The National league respectfully
requests the National Association Of
Professional Baseball Leagues to
appoint in due course a committee
Of like number and purpose to CO..
operate with the committees of the
two major leagues, the first joint
meeting Of such committees to be
held at the earliest feasible date"
Prick said the American league
already had expressed a desire for
such q joint consideration and that
he hoped the minor leagues would
be able to name their representatives
a few weeks so that all
parties could get started on the task
quickly.
At the annual winter meeting in
last December the Ma.
tional league and the minors. voted
for amendments to the present
which would have forced
Lands to relax his rigid restrictions
on farm systems. The American
league rejected them and in the
joint major league meeting Lands
cast the deciding vote that tossed
out the proposed amendments. Since
then he has frightened the bans on
farm holdings and suggested that
they be done away with entirely.

TRAINING
FOR C0D0Y BOUT
Heavyweight Champion Prac~
tees New Blow To Use
In Friday Night Fight
BY SID FEEDER

POMPTON LAKES, N. j., Feb. G.
one, to date, has accused
Joe Louis of being short of artillery,
but the Brown Bomber, neverthe'
less, is developing a new cannon
for the fireworks display with
which he is planning to entertain
Arturo Godoy in Madison Square
Garden Friday night.
This is a left uppercut, delivered
in close, and, like most Of the
heavyweight champions firecrack'
ers, it does tricks when coming in
contact with an opponents chin.
Oddly enough, while most Of Joe's
wallops are delivered in an effort
to knock an opponent down. the
purpose of this particular punch is
to straighten him up.
Louis has used the blow before
but lever has concentrated on it 50
much as in his training here on
the frozen shore of Pompton Lake
for his ninth title defense. This is
because the rough, tough Chilean
clouter, who hopes to put a. climp
in the Bomber's string of seven
straight knockout title triumphs. is
a bobbing, weaving warrior, who
fights out of a crouch and rarely
gives an opponent an open target
to pitch at.
Joe showed against Tony Galento
last summer that he has a tough
time tagging a rival who forces
him to punch down. AS long as
Tony, who took in today's four
round boxing drill, stayed in his
crouch, Joe couldn't hit him with a
handful of buckshot. Godoy is a
somewhat similar socker, and that's
where the uppercut comes it. When
pitched properly, it straighteps a
rival upright and sets him up just
to a nice position to receive the fol.
lowing straight right hand shot,
which is strictly nothing to take on
the chin If you want to remain cor.
scious.
Louis tried it in his semi.final
boxing drill today several times
against Emil Scholz of Boston, one
of his spar mates, and each time
the crouching Emil stood up as
straight as a private receiving q
top-sergeant's command.
There's the angle. too, that If Joe
tries straight punching at a crouch.
ing rival, he is in danger of bounc-
ing a blow off of said rivals skull,
and even the best battlers have
found out that the bone of a hand
can be crunched by such a blow.
Joe never has had any serious
trouble with his hands, but they
were hurt to some extent by
punches to the head of Tommy Farr
and in the first fight with Max
Schmeling. And there's no reason
to believe Godoy's head is any
softer than those of Tommy and
Make.
Otherwise, Joe is In the "rink''
for Fridays hereunder. He was
positively vicious today in working
out on four spar mates, and he
dropped one of them - Scholz - to
the canvas with a short right nand
winch even the ring-siders felt.
Gaiento, who exchanged an "He,.
10. joe" "Howya feel?" greetin.
with Joe during the workout,
inquired Louis should win and
might do it by a knockout il he
gets a good shot at Godoy." Tony
should know. He's tangled with
both Of them.
