Knockout Of franklin
booms SavoId as
Chicago Magnet
Winner of Brutal Bottle
May Be Matched With
MuurieIIo or Bivins
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. April 17.-Heavy-
weight Lee Savold, who has steamed
up interest in boxing here to the
extent that his fight last night with
Lem Franklin drew a crowd of
$4,000 into the Chicago Stadium
with receipts of S42,32O, may be
given shot at New York's Tami
Mauriello or Clevelands Jimmy
Bivins here this summer.
The match was in the air today
after the Paterson, N j., strategist
knocked out Franklin, a hard
punching Cleveland Negro, in the
eighth round of their scheduled
10-round bout.
Contest Is Brutal.
Savolds victory gave him an edge
in the series with Franklin. In
their first meeting in 1889 the Negro
won by knockout, but Savold
evened the score two months ago
when he rallied from a frst-round
knockdoWn to chill his foe in the
10th.
Last night was the pairs best
and most brutal engagement. The
first punch Franklin tossed caught
Savold on the chin and spun him
to the canvas for an eight count
Then at the start of the second
Franklin drummed into Savold' s
body, and sent him against the
ropes where a right to the chin
spraWled him for nine count.
Savold Fights Uphill.
But the New Jersey heavyweight
struggled back, and with the excep-
tion of the seventh, took control by
raining lefts and rights to the
body and effectively employing a
left hook. In the seventh, how
ever. Franklin rallied with a solic
right to the chin which sent Savolo
groggily into a clinch and blocked
the Clevelander's attempt for the
kill.
After drilling Franklin with body
blows in the eighth, Savold scored
a right uppercut followed by left
hook to the body in the last Is sec
onds to nail the Negro for a TO-
count.

Hack Eyeing New Highs as Cub,

Feels Derringer's Transfer to Chicago

welcomed Dean into our midst back

1t wouldn't surprise Hack to see
the Cubs finish in the first division
this year.
There's more spirit on this years
team than on any I've played with
since 1892 he observed. I'VE all
seem to like each other, and there's
no splitting up in factions which
eventually cause friction. We've got
more harmony and hustle than ever
before, and enough team spirit to
swing ball games bordering on de-
feat to our side"
Sets High Goal for Himself.
Not a slugger, but rather a spot
hitter, Hacks 11-year batting aver
age as a Cub lead-off man is 3O4.
In 1888 and 1899 he led the National
League in stolen bases and the fol-
lowing two seasons topped it in num-
ber of hits.
Although 80 years old, there is no
sign that he is slowing down. And
just to make certain there will be
no rumors to this effect, Hack has
set goal for himself this year.
He would like to top 320, his best
Cub batting mark: fitch about 20
bases; score more than 100 runs and
bat in at least so more-all of which
would keep up his average as the

Hogan and Uncle Sam
Occupy Spotlight in
Victory Open Golf
Ben Takes Lead With 81
On First Army Mission;
Bond Sale Is Huge
BY the Associated Press.

DALLAS, April 17.-Texas' Victory
Open has turned into two-man golf
show featuring Ben Hogan and his
new employer, Uncle Sam.
Hogan, buck private in the Army,
complained because his game was
rusty, but there was plenty of SPAR
kle in that 81 he posted to lead yes
terday's opening round. The tourna-
ment closes with another 18 holes
today.
Bens boss pocketed more than
$2,300,000 in War bonds at an auc-
ton last night. The ball Ben used to
get his 67 went for 100000, a ball
autographed by Bobby Jones fetched
another 100000 and A. j. Rife of
Dallas hired David Goldman, Dallas
amateur golfer, to caddy for him for
$270,000.
Tourney Whopping Success.
Everything turned out bigger and
better than expected. Two hundred
entries had been forecast and there
were $50. The goal of 100000 in
bonds was more than doubled.
There were plenty of low scores
Seventeen bettered par 36-36-72
and Hogan was five under. Ben
gave up the game seven months
ago, recently entered the Army and
was sent to Tarrant Field, Fort
Worth. His first orders were to go
to Dallas and play in the Victory
Open.

Hogan was even par on the first
nine. On the second he shot
five brides, ending by sinking 20
foot putt on the 18th.
Hogan's final round came 80 min

Hernandez Hints
Feather Mark for Left,
Donny's Best Weapon;
Kopovich Is Victor

Carroll (KidD Alexander's hope of
rising to national prominence as a
featherWeight not only are shat
tered, but he likely will find it wise
to forget this business of challenging
Danny Petro for local honors among
the 126-pounders. Petro's best punch
is hard left and the Kid proved a
soft touch for that weapon last
night against Pedro Hernandez of
New York
Hernandez earned a unanimous
decision in the elght-round main
event at Uline Arena, finding little
opposition from the jittery WASH
lngton youngster, who seldom made
a lead and who seemed content to
hang on at every opportunity.
Alexander Floored Twice.
Alexander constantly ducked into
Hernandez left jab, then clinched.
In the fifth Alexander was down
twice after catching lefts to the
head, once taking seven-count and
the second time getting three
count. He opened a trifle in the last
two rounds and made a few tenta-
tive leads that found the mark, but
Hernandez by that time was so far
ahead he was content to coast.
BY far the best fight was the
elght-round victory scored bv
Heavyweight Johnny Kapovich of
Baltimore over Herbert Marshall of
New York, rated as the 10th heavv-
weight in the country and Knockout
winner last week over Tom Cam
PAMELA.
This Kapovich is a slugger who
doesn't waste a punch. He drew
blood from Marshalls nose in the
third and in the fifth he connected
with a terrific right that had the
New York Negro staggering around
neutral corner. Marshall was un-
able to protect himself for about
20 seconds against a general maui
ing, but managed to stay on his feet
A left to Marshalls body again
had him wabbly in the sixth and
another one of Kapovich's rights
brought more blood from Marshall's S
nose. Kapovich coasted through the
seventh and again gave Marshall
a general going over in the eighth
One Technical Kayo.
There was one technical knockout
with Vince Boneveri of Washington
unable to answer the third-round
bell against Earl Wentz of Balti-
more. In other matches, Joe Cam
meretta and Eddie Marcinko, both
from Baltimore, staged six-round
draw, while Lee Rosan of Baltimore
decisioned Charles Bennett of
Washington in six rounds. 1t was
announced from the ring that Ben
nett lost six points on three fouls.
and the announcement idea found
favor with the fans who otherwise
were puzzled as to the reason for
Rosan's victory
A disappointing crowd OF 1922
persons dropped $1,81750 into the
box office. The next show at Uline S
will be on April 80 with Henry Arm
strong and Saverio Turiello in the
main go.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Mats
will carry 26 players into the Ameri-

previous seasons would have been
forced to pay to view a major league
game, Manager Ossie Bluege says
he'll stick with all of them until
May is, when at least one player
must be clipped from the squad.
Washington will launch the season
with II pitchers, which includes 49,
year-old Johnny Bunnell, with only
Detroit sandlot background and
good spring showing to recommend
him. Earl Jennings, Washington
cab driver, and Warren Reid, an
other Capital sandlot pitcher, will

Leftovers from the Mats 1912

only holdovers. In addition to
Bunnell newcomers will be Dewey
Adkins, Milo Candini, Milton Haef-

Owen ScheetZ.
Workout Pleases Bluege.
With Angelo Giuliani currently
absent from the Mats due to a sacro-
lilac ailment, Bluege will continue
to carry Red Barbary, third string
catcher, and, of course, Jake Early
and Giuliani. His outfielders will be
Bob johnson, Stan Spence, George
Case, John Marion and Gene Moore.
Sherrard Robertson, a nephew of
PreXy Clark Griffith and a former
University of Maryland player who
batted conservative 202 with Balti-
more last season, will hang around,
as will Charles Roberts, a highly
regarded fielder but .255 hitter with
Charlotte last year. George Myatt,
with Columbus last year, will be an
other infield spare, with Mickey
Vernon, Gerald Priddy, Johnny Sui
livan and Ellis Clary ticketed for
regular duty.
The Mats will launch the season
with only II exhibition games be-
hind them, providing they play the
Giants here today and tomorrow, but
Bluege feels the team made up con-
siderable lost ground with a lengthy
workout yesterday at Newark, where
their game with the Bears was can
celed due to cold.
Hold Poppy Workout.
TT was the best workout we've
had all spring." enthused Ossie. I'VE
really needed that batting practice,
and I think we benefited more bv
the workout than if we had played

The Mats batted steadily for nearly
two hours and concurrently with the
batting drill, Coach Clyde Milan was
conducting infield practice, which he
stamped as beautiful to watch

had all season." said Clyde. They
were so peppy, in fact, that even
Mickey Vernon was infected and

had more fun hitting to the infield.
Everybody was clicking"
Outstanding in the batting de-
partment were Early, Vernon and
Robertson, who deposited three
smashes each in the stands. The
Mats were hoping to keep the edge
against the Giants today and
tomorrow. They'll return to Wash
lngton tomorrow night and work
out at Griffith Stadium on Monday
before plunging into play for pay.

Unorthodox Group
By HAROLD CLAASSEN.
Associated Press Sports Wrise-.

NEW YORK. April 17.-Every one
agrees that this probably will be
the whackiest of all baseball sea-
sons-and maybe that's the reason
virtually all of the major league
pitching staffs have more than the
customary supply of lefthanders.
Washington doesn't have an es-
tablished portsider and a good left
handed f1ipper would be as well
come as chocolate cake to Manager
Jim Wilson of the Chicago Cubs.
But otherwise, the teams haven't
been rationed when it comes to
southpaw soupbones.
In the American loop. Cleveland,
Detroit, Chicago and Boston are
well equipped with pitchers who
can hit the right spot on home
plate from the wrong side, while
the st. Louis staff actually seems
top heavy with lefthanders.
Two Lefties With Yanks.
The Browns have AL Hollings-
worth, a 1916 winner year ago;
Fritz Ostermueller, Archie McKain
and Bill Seinsoth, nothing BALI
bowler who won "a for New Orleans
last year.
The Red Sox, Indians, Tigers and
White Sox all list three each with
Stub Overmire, rookie, being
counted on heavily for the Tigers
and AL Olsen, an 18-game winner
at San Diego last season, the pride
of Boston. The White Sox trio is
made up of hard luck Ed Smith,
Thornton Lee, hoping for a come
back, and Jake Wade.
Joe Mccarthy, manager of the
New York Yankees, has only Rookie
Tommy Byrne and Marius Russo,
troubled with sore arm, as his
unorthodox Fingers and Connie
Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics
can trot out Herman Besse and
Rookie Talmadge Abernathy.
The National League apparently
holds a corner on the name south
paws with the transfer of Vernon
Gomez from the Yankees to the
Boston Braves.
The Californian Castillian now will
be keeping company with such
heroes as Carl Hubbell of the New
York Giants and Johnny Wander
Nicer, Cincinnati double -no-hit
ace.
Giants Southpaws Good.
Hubbell no longer is the meal
ticket Of the Terry regime, but he,
Tom Sunkel and Cliff Melton may
give the Giants the most formidable
southpaw trio in the majors this
year.
The Reds have Clyde Shoun in
addition to Wander Nicer and the
Braves list Louis Tost alongside
Gomez.
St. Louis will bank on Howie
Pollett and Ernie White when a
lefthander is needed; Wally Hebert,

burgh Pirates; Brooklyn's Max Ma
