CITY CAGE TEAMS
TO PLAY TONIGHT
Tide Water To Meet Y Quint;
W. L. I. Will Tangle With
Company l Cagers

Basketball fans will be presented
a program of two fast ball games
on the Y.M.C.A. court tonight as
City Service teams resume play on
their weekly schedule.
In the curtain-raiser, the re-
juvenated Y.M.C.A. Greenies will
meet the Tide Water Kilowatts.
The Kilowatts defeated the Tri-
angles in their last meeting but,
with a few games slowed away
under their belts, the "Y" five
seems to have picked up speed
and will be out to avenge their
loss.
The second game of the eve
ming will feature the military
might of w. L. I. and Company I.
The w. L, I. quintet flashed un-
der the wire without a loss in the
first half schedule and is favored
over the scrapping Company I.
However, the Is were the only
team that seriously threatened to
deface the w. L. I. slate in the
first half of the season and are
set to pull them off the lofty perch
they have occupied throughout the
season.
The opening whistle sounds at
$50 and the second game is sched-
uled for $50 o'clock.

CONN TO BATTLE
COOPER TONIGHT
Pittsburgh Walloper To Make
First Bid For Heavyweight
HonOrs In Bout

NEW YORK, Jan. g Up The
Billy Conn fistic follies, a distinct
artistic and financial success
throughout the first year Of it's run
in Madison Square Garden, starts
it's second year tomorrow night with
a new heavyweight backdrop in
stead Of the old light-heavyWeight
scenery.
Just a year ago this week, the o.
year old Pittsburgh Irishman pull
ed into town, virtually unknown
outside his own neighborhoood. He
upset Fred Apostolic, a l to 4 favor
lite, repeated that triumph, and, be-
fore you knew it, he went sky
rocketing on to the lightheavy-
weight championship.
With his success in the ring went
an unexpectedly like success at the
box office, and, as Billy, himself,
points out, 1.-THE potatoes started
rolling in" The cash customers,
surprisingly, took to Billy, although
his offense was somewhat lacking
in a knockout-wallop, usually a
must in crowd appeal.
But Billy had his eye on bigger
game. He realized early that the
real Sugar in the prize ring lies
among the heavyweights - and he
wasn't going to mind picking up
some, at all. He went on a vaca-
ton from last November until three
weeks ago to put on weight. Then
he signed to fight Steve Dudas, a
veteran heavyweight trial horse.
But Steve came down with la
grippe, SO Billy switched to Henry
Cooper, a likely-looking 190-pound
prospect, and tomorrow Billy un-
wells himself as a heavyweight for
ten rounds or less against Henry
from Brooklyn.
Billy probably will weigh 176 for
this one, only a pound over the
Interchangeable. limit, but still c
good four pounds heavier than in
his last ring appearance. Should
he get by Cooper, he'll probable
tangle with Johnny Paychek Of Des
Moines, and go on from there up
the trail he is confident will wiz
him a meeting with-and victory
over-Joe Louis.

Strafaci Advocates Tourney
With Bobby Jones To Cap
tain Amateur Team
BY BILL ,BONI

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-If'-De-
u golf is n Of the sports
which will be asked to contribute
to the Finnish relief fund, Frankie
strafaci today came forward with
a proposal that might solve the
problem of where to get the con-
tribution and at the same time
fill a war-created gap in the years
links program.
frankie, one of the country's
ace amateurs, would like to see an
amateur team. captained by Bobby
Jones, play the honorary Ryder
cup team chosen by the P. G "A,
with Walter Hagen and Gene
Sarazen as the pros co-captains.
He has picked out the site for
the match, Jones' Augusta nation
al golf course, and the date, the
two days before the annual Au-
susta tournament, which would be
April 2-S.
Naturally, the amateurs would
take a licking" said young Stra-
|faci. I'm fact they'd probably lose
every match. But if they could win
just one it would act as a tre-
mendous lift for amateur golfers
all over the country. Even If they
didn't, the series, especially with
Jones acting as captain, would
work up a fine amount of inter
est and enthusiasm"
On this latter point frankie, for
mer U. S. public links champion,
speaks from experience.
Last summer at Racine, Wis.,"
he said, RAY Billow (twice run
ner-up in the U. S. amateur) and
I played an exhibition against Dick
Metz and Ky Laffoon. Believe ii
or not, 5000 or 1000 people turn
ed out to see it, and you certainly
wouldn't believe the number OF
them who were foolish enough tc
bet on us.
Sure, we lost-did all right for
the first eight holes, and then
Laffoon and Metz turned on the
heat. But we had a lot of fun, and
81 Qlu tLe Sdllcly.
Billows would be one of the nine
amateurs Strafaci would place I'M
der Captain Jones' direction. No. 1,
of course, would be Bud Ward, the
amateur champion. The others
would be Chicagoans MILFORD
Wehrle and Art Doering, the lat
ter a semi-finalist in the 1885
amateur; Willie Turnesa, cham.
pion in 1898; Dick Chapman, the
New York socialite; former U. S
champions Johnny Goodman OF
Omaha and Johnny Fisher of Gin
cinnati, and former British title
holder Charley Yates of Atlanta.
If the u. S. Golf association
were to name a Walker cup team
this year, despite the slim chance
of playing the British, it's a goot
bet most, if not all, of those lads
would be on it. Against them al
Augusta, by Strafaci's plan, would
be Open Champion Byron Nelson
P.G.A. Champion Henry Picard
Metz, Ralph Guldahl, Vic Ghezzi
Jimmy Hines, Jug Mcspaden, Pau
Runyan, Horton Smith and Sam
Snead.
That would make ten pros
against nine amateurs.
Well" said Strafaci, as if il
should be self-evident, wouldn't
it be a nice thing if they REIN
stated Jones so he could be playing
captain of the amateurs?"

TR0TTERS PREPARE
FOR TRACK SEASON
Kuno Is Winter Favorite For
$4,000 Hambletonian Stake
Race Next August

GOSHEN, N. Y, Jan. 9. - Up -
Forty-seven three-year-old trotting
! orses, the largest number kept eligi-
bic to the $4,000 Hambletonian
stake in II years, each had $3.50 paid
on them as of Jan. 1 to insure their
candidacy for the worlds top-flight
harness race to be raced at Good
Time track in August.
The only financial barrier between
these colts and the race itself now is
a starting fee of $500 due the day
before the event.
Winter book ~favorite is expected
to be Kuno, bay colt by Guy Day,
owned by Dunbar w. Bostwick and
now in training at Aiken, S. C. Kuno,
Boosting the fastest record of any
~two-year-old of 1889, 2:04 IA, and
winning important races at Indianap-
oils, Lexington, Ky; Goshen, Old Or
chard, Me-, and Reading, Pa, looks
hard to beat now. But Bostwick,
who plans to drive the colt in the
Hambletonian, hopes he won't end
fourth place as his Hollywood Au-
drey did in 1887 when she was the
winter book %favorite.
Spencer Scott, brown colt by Scot
land owned by c. w. Fhellis. Green
wich, Conn.,, is rated second favorite,
with a record of 2:05.
Fred Egan is wintering this cot,
sired by the same father as Rosa
lind, Hambletonian victor in 1885,
at Longwood, Fla. Gentleman Jim,
bay colt by Lord Jim, winner of the
rich stake in 1884, is rated third.
He is owned by John F. Davis, Tole-
do, O.. and is being conditioned at
Pinehurst, N. c., by Doc H. NJ.
Farshall, Urbana, O., driver of the
1899 Hambletonian victor, Peter AS

Earl F. Shropshire, Lexington, KY;
and Queen Victoria, bay filly by Pc.
ter Volo, owned by William Strang,
Brooklyn, N. Y. Both are at Long
wood, Fla, under the tutelage of Ben
F. White, of Lexington.
E. Roland Hartman, of New York,
president of the grand circuit, kept
six three-year-olds eligible to the

Il WON'T PLAY"

even at times April, are studded with
baseball players who keep saying
81 won't play for that" But it US
ually winds up with all OF them

going to slice a few pennies OH OF
their star first baseman's salary In
1910, and Ducky Medwick, OF the
St. Louis Cardinals. MedWlck is not
going to be either sold or traded,
he wants more money and the Cards
don't want to give it to him. SO
there you have the interesting case

Every clu in the two major loops
seems to be bothered with holdouti-
tbs, except the Cincinnati Reds, VINO
keep signing them up without a
murmur. And all of the Reds when
they sign, even Bucky Walters, ask
that they be given the chance to play
more next season. Maybe, the other
clubs should drop in the Rhineland-
ers front office some time and find
out how they do it.
ALWAYS RIGHT
Ernie Quigley, the famed base
ball umpire and football and bas-
ketball official, is said never to have
lost an argument, and this story
seems to prove it.
1t seems that Ernie was officiat-
