Cox Again Discovers
Ernie Dusek Is Bad
Medicine on Mat

Joe Cox should be convinced he
can't throw Ernie Dusek after losing
to the erstwhile Nebraska Wildcat
last night at Turner's Arena in the
feature engagement of the weekly
muscle meeting. 1t was Duseks
l973d consecutive victory over Cox,
who, apparently, never has heard of
physics and immovable objects.
Dusek came as near defeat as the
ultimate winner OF wrestling
match can without running afoul of
the script writer, but Cox didn't
have the necessary word from the
front office to polish him off. Dusek
rallied, after two hasty and un-
scheduled exits from the ring and
pinned Cox with a body slam.
IN other matches the Yellow Mask
won from Budy Lever; Johnny Long
got the decision over Emil Dusek.
and Dick Craddock upset Bamba
Tabu.

golfers for continuance Of at least a
partial slate Of tournaments.
The District championship is the
tournament which will give us
trouble" Mrs. Weible said. I'VE are
committed this year to a policy OF
splitting the field into two parts,
by handicap, thus having Glass A
and Glass B tournament. Each
tournament would run five days.
That involves a lot OF travelling,
probably on buses and streetcars, by
the competitors. I'm not sure they
would want 1t that way. r
But there isn't any doubt the
women want the one-day affairs.
They have said so often, and We will
make every effort to have some of
them, at least. But the situation is
very much up in the air now If two
big clubs refuse to take tournaments.
it would put heavy burden on the.
others.
In the schedule already ar,
ranged" she added, we have not set
a single tournament at club which
cannot be reached by public trans
portation."
The District prexy probably will.

Derringer Deal Gives
Cubs Strong Staff
OF Righthanders
No Lefties in Hurting
Corps; $4,000 Rumored
As Price Paid Reds
BY ARNOLD DERLITZKI.


CHICAGO. Jan. % (P).-The Chi
cago Cubs, who believe they have a
chance to go places this season" :"
may have taken step in the right
direction last night in acquiring
Paul Derringer, veteran Cincinnati
pitcher.
Certainly they have the right
handed pitchers-an entire starting
staff as result of the cash deal
and there was every indication that
1t would be strictly righthanders the
Cubs would rely on in their 1943
title bid.
Any southpaw regular must be
developed from this years recruits.
Last years lefties, Vern Olsen,
Johnny SchmitZ and Russ Meers,
have entered military service.
The 36-year -old Derringer, who
has spent Il years in the majors
the last 10 with Cincinnati-will
team up with such likely righthand
starters as Claude Passeau. Bill Lee,
Lon Warneke, Les Fleming, Tot
Pressnell and possibly Dick Barrett,
34-year-old veteran of the minors
obtained from Seattle.
In announcing the purchase yes
terday, James Gallagher, general
manager, said, Eve believe we have
chance to go places this; season
and we needed another pitcher" The
purchase price was not disclosed, but
some sources put 1t at SIS 5,000.
Derringer himself recently asked
to be traded or sold and the Red
management agreed he had been in
one place long enough. He broke
into the majors with the st. Louis
Cardinals and after little more than
two seasons there went to Cincinnati
on May 7, 1888.

1t Also Happened Here

Titles did change hands in no.
decision matches and one of the
most important exchanges was the
time Leonard kayoed Welsh in the
ninth round of a scheduled 10
rounder at the old Rockland Palace,
which was operated by John the
Barber and Lew Raymond. They
had met twice before in no-decision
bouts and while Leonard did well
enough he had to score kayo
to get regal recognition.
And speaking of personal referees,
there was some hue and cry the
night Harry Jeffra whipped Joey
Archibald, or almost everybody in
Griffith Stadium thought he did.
But Leonard, imported by Al WE'LL,
cast the deciding ballot for Archi-
bald, reigning champ.
And there was some talk of
similar goings-on the night Joe
Louis kayoed Buddy Baer at the ball
park Donovan promptly awarded
the fight to Louis. His action was
correct and he had been imported
by Mike Jacobs expressly 70 handle
such situations.

Ertle Changed His Mind

That's why the old champions
always took their personal referees
on tour with them" he grinned.
You remember the Mike McTigue-
Young Stribling fight down in Geor-
eia in which Harry Ertle, McTigues
referee. reversed himself about
three times and finally gave it to
McTigue?"
That was the night Stribling beat
the Irishman, and when Ertle start
ed to raise Mikes hand the pop
ulace threatened to lynch Harry.
Ertle reversed himself, but when
safely out of the State and on fast
North-bound express, suddenly de-
cided he'd made mistake and
awarded the fight to McTigue.
Freddy Welsh had his private
referee, a fellow by the name Of
Billy Roche, although Roche didn t
work the fight at London in 1914
in which Welsh became the first
Englishman to win a world cham
pionship by beating Willie Ritchie
in 20 rounds for the lightweight
crown. The referee. an interna-
tionally prominent figure and an
honest man, gave Welsh so points
and Ritchie 40, scoring the last
round to in the Englishman' s
favor.
