night in 10-round bout at Turner's
Arena.
At stake Is a match with Louis
Kid Cocoa, who created stir in this

bowling to George Abrams in a close
argument. The odds tonight are in
Buffalo's favor. He seems to have
too much speed and to punch too
sharply for Furr, who, although he
retains much of the dynamite in his
vaunted right, is slow on the draw.
Buffalo doesn't appear to be 60

an upward course last week when

fought affair, the pair of losses put
Mack Posnack's boys two full games
back of the pace-setters, with little
of the schedule left.
Last nights game at Riverside
wasn't an extra-period affair like
Saturday nights, but the Brewers
lost out only in the last minute
when field goals by Red Rosan and
Irving Torgoff gave the Sphas a
2o-35 decision.
That the Brewers had fought a
rame uphill battle made their de-
feat all the sadder. The Sphas had

While pretty Lucy Rose Of
Rosslyn, the runner-up, today had
enhanced her chances for the wom-
ems No. / national duckpin rating,
Doris Smith of Norfolk, Va, by
virtue of her overwhelming victory
in the Lorraine GULL classic with
a record score of 1926, practically
was assured of a place for the first
time among the first 10 ranking
woman bowlers of the country.
Firing a $50 game, Miss Smith, a
comparative newcomer to the front
ranks, took the lead as the eighth
annual GULL tournament got under
way yesterday afternoon at the
Lucky Strike and spreadeagled her
field of II other top-f1ight rollers
to win by a 50-pin margin.
Nearly Ties City Record.
Adding strings of 148 and 1874 to
her opening effort, the Norfolk star
came within three pins of tieing
Mrs. Roses all-time city record
three-game score of 435. She was
80 pins ahead of second-place Helen
Randlett of Richmond at the end
of the first five-game block after
finishing with games of 116 and 131
for count of 679.
She practically cinched the cham
pionship with 153 to'start her night
block, and adding games Of 101 and
148 posted her second 400 count.
In this set she totaled GIG. Her
victory was worth 500 and the
handsome Lorraine GULL Trophy.
1t was her second triumph of the
season. In December she scored a
smashing victory in the Chesapeake
in Baltimore. Her 1907 was the
highest rolled in 10-game stake
event this season.
Mrs. Rose was not quite equal to
the task of overcoming the big lead
gained by Miss Smith, but after a
604 first-block score. stole the spot
light from her with a Sal. Her
third game of 165 in the evening
round was tops for the tournament
She won $50.
Second at the end of the first
block with $40, Mrs. Randlett turned
in COL in the final to land third
place and a prize of $50
Norfolk placed two others in the
payof when Katherine Wick posted
sets of sos -623 for 1918 to win fourth
place and $40, while Ida Simmons
after a first set of $40, crashed
through in typical fashion with 664
top set of the final block, to gain
sixth place and s25.

CHICAGO. Feb. "a. - General
Manager Jimmy Gallagher was
speeding westward today with a
flock of II contented Chicago Cubs
and burdened with only eight un-

The Cubs, according to schedule,
will arrive at Catalina Island We'd
nesday and begin training the fol-

the new manager. The entire squad
of SO players is expected to report

Gallagher reduced the recalci-

signed 31-year- -old Billy Herman,
second baseman and field captain,
and young Paul Erickson, rookie
pitcher.
The eight still outside the fold
are Outfelders Hank Leiber and Lou
