CLOSE MEET SEEN
in BOXING BOUTS
Whiteville, New Hanover Ring
Teams to Battle in Gym
Here Friday Night

When the New Hanover High
school boxers and the Whiteville
punchers meet in the local ring
Friday night at 8 o'clock in the
final match ef the season for the
locals, past cores will not mean
a thing.
1t may as we'll be the first match
of the season for both as far as
prospects of an overwhelming VIC
tory for either side go. Whiteville
has marched through all opposi-
ton in North and South Carolina
this year with the single excep-
ton of Hamlet and the locals did
not do so had against the classy
Hamlet boxers themselves. The To-
Gals have dropped close decisions
to Florence High school, losing the
last meeting by 4 IL to S IL with
the decision Ringing on the last
fight of the card.
Monday night the Florence lads
lost their first decision in four
years on their own floor in a 5
to 7 loss in Whiteville. The Wolf
pack has, like Wilmington, been
pointing to the annual meeting of
the Wolves and Wildcats and the
best leather singing is always done
in this meeting.
Coach Howard Mcdonald with a
young, but stout hearted, band of
fighters who do not know when to
say uncle" is as eager for the
Friday card to come around as
the boys for he has plenty of friend
ly bouts to settle with Coach Lee
Greer of the Pack. The Wildcats
are taking it on the chin and liking
it each afternoon on the road and
in the gym with Coach Mac"
pushing them hard. If the Cats
can win over the Wolves the season
will be one of roses.
The annual intra-mural boxing
tournament will start in the gym
Monday during the lunch periods
and all boys who wish to enter
may weigh in this week during
their lunch periods in the gym. l

ANDERSON DEATH
IS CLOSED CASE
Young Heavyweight Boxer
Dies After Bout from Blood
ClOt on His Heart

CHICAGO, Feb. % Up The
tragic death of young Arne Ander-
son, Minneapolis heavyweight who
died in a prize fight ring last night,
is a closed case unless Gov. Dwight
Green orders a further investigation
of the fatality.
Joseph Triner, chairman of the
State Athletic Commission, said to-
day that he had sent the governor
"a full and detailed report on this
sad case" and added II asked him
for any instructions he might wish
carried out and until I hear from
him the commission will take no
action"
Anderson, who fell after being hit
by Lou Thomas, Indianapolis heavy
weight, in the seventh round, was
declared dead after an inhalator
squad had tried for an hour to revive
him.
Coroner A. L. Brodie, after COM
pleting an autopsy, reported that
Anderson's death was caused by a
"myocraditic disturbance of the
heart" commonly known as a blood
clot. A scheduled inquest was can
celled after the results of the au.
topsy became known.
Chief Deputy Coroner Anthony
Prusinski added that "our autopsy
in the Anderson case was very thor
ough and showed that a clot had ap-
peared in his heart during the fight,
and that all other organs were
normal.
There was no hemorrhage in the
brain or injury to the neck. Ander-
son suffered from an athletic heart
and the clot was brought on by the
pounding he took. There was, in
our opinion, no evidence Of laxity in
the qualifying examination he re-
ceived before the fight"
Anderson was a native of Stock
holm, Sweden, winning the amateur
and professional heavyweight titles
of his country before arriving in
the United States in July, 1889.
Since then he had appeared in about
80. fights, winning about half OF
them by knockouts.
The ~22-year.old fighter had taken
out citizenship papers more than a
year ago and had expected to be in
Quoted into the U. S. army in the

TOO GOOD
FOR GARDEN PUCS
F~eatherweight Chalky Can't
Get Anyone to Fight Him
In Madison Square

NEW YORK, Feb. 25. Up - To
hear Chunky Eddie Walker tell it, a
fighter finally has been found who
is too good for Madison Square

This is like saying Sophie Tucker

The fact remains, however, that
Chalky Wright, a featherweight who
once chauffeured for Mae West, has
to play the whistle stops simply be-
cause no one within 20 pounds of
his weight wants to take a chance
with the negro mailer in the Garden.
OF course the fact that Chalky is
by Chunky Eddie may be
why Walker is going up and down
Jacobs beach by day and holding
court in Lindy's by night screaming
that the other fighting fellows on
the big time treat his man like poison
ivy. But he is supported by Nat
Rodgers, the matchmaker for Pro
moter Mike Jacobs and the Garden.
Nat has been offering Wright to
the better featherweights, light
weights and even welterWeights OF

ed with a 16-inch annon The man.

who had been ducking Nat for weeks

So, here's Chalky, designated by

IS SURPRISE
IN YANKEE CAMP
Rookie Johnny Strum Is Only
First Stacker Left; McCar-
thy May Trade More

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Feb. 25.
-LP-New York Yankees today an
nounced the sale of Ellsworth (Babe)
Dahlgren, their regular first base
man since May, 1929, to the Boston
Bees for an unannounced sum of
cash.
The deal came as a complete sur
prise in the Yanks' camp and left
them with only Johnny Strum, a
Kansas City farm product who has
had not big league experience, to
play first base. Strum is a good
fielder and has hit well in the Amer
lean association, compiling a .S1z
average for Kansas City last year
Dahlgren, a spectacular fielde,
but a weak hitter, came up with the
Boston Red Sox in 1885 and hit onl!
1868 that season He took over the
first base job for the Yanks on May
2, 1889, when illness caused Lou
Gehrig to retire, and has not missed
a game since llleIl. ne III .Soo IL
1889 and .264 last year.
Manager Joe Mccarthy of the
Yanks refused to elaborate on the
deal, saying:
LAS of today, Johnny Strum is
the Yankee first baseman. I don't
know what the future may bring
1 have some ideas which I can't go
into now. But 1 feel the Yanks can
win without Dahlgren and right now
Strum is my first baseman."
Baseball writer's in the camp be
lieved, however, that the Yanks
would seek another experienced first
baseman, either as a regular or as
protection. To suggestions thai
Tommy Heinrich might be converted
from an outfielder into a first sackel
or that the Yanks would try to make
a trade for an experienced majol
Lacquer such as Jimmy Foxx of the
Red Sox or George McQuinn of the
Browns, Mccarthy refused to give
any definite reply.

them are having a hard time OF II
getting their muscles numbered
because of the rain. And that's
good bona fide California and
Florida rain, too.
But that sort of thing won't last
long and before long they'll start
smacking baseballs all over the
south and gradually the teams
will wind their weary ways to
northern chimes for the long sum-
mer grind. And what a grind it's
going to be. The p%ennant race this
season will be as hot as any his
tory could dig up, or we miss our
guess.
Glamack's Record
George Glamack, North Caro-
lina's All-America center, who is
cunning for q national scoring rec
ord, finished the regular cage sea-
son with 1873 points for 81 college
games and 528 points if four prac-
tice games be included.
The 6-foot 5-inch ace, who is
near blind in one eye and shoots
largely by position and memory,
if all reports are to be taken as
fact, will lead the Tar Heels into
the Southern Conference tourna-
ment Thursday and if he equals
the 62-point mark for the event
in 1910, he would have totals OF
500 and $50 respectively.
Stutz Modzelewski, of Rhode Is
land State, set the intercollegiate
scoring record for 1910 with 500
points. but is far behind his mark
this year. However, Ken Griffith
