SCRAP SLATED
FOR NEW YORK
Boys Earn Draw at Parlor
Tricks; Champ Sails
For his Homeland
NEW YORK, Jan. 22 (AP)-
Max Schmeling, heav y w e 1 g h t
champion, and Jack Sharkey Bos
ton challenger who has been -wait
ing -almost two years for his "re
venge." of ficiallv signed articles
tonight for a IS round &Kle bout
here in June.
After a full-day of debate and
arguing, the gladiators, with full
retinues of lawyers, managers and
assistants, left the weekly bouts
In Madison Square Garden below
to climb the stairs and sign the
contract about 10 p. m.
Schmeling, who won title rec
ognitlon when h was fouled by
Sharkey In a title fight in the
Yankee stadium June 12, 1930,
greeted his challenger cordially,
but refused to be caught in the
latest of the boyish pranks of
h e a y y w e ights 3harkey's sly
trick of blowing "sneese" powder
In friends' faces.
Sharkey Gets Draw
By Refusing Shake
"Uh. uh." said Max. "I hear
about that. No goot."
"Okey," said Sharkey, "and I
heard about that handshaking
gadget you're got. I'm wise to
that."
With their pet parlor tricks
nullified, both Sharkey and
Schmeling posed for photographs
with pens In their hands while
the managers signed the papers.
The articles call for a 15 round
bout, the date to be set within
sixty days, in "greater New
York." Madison Square Garden,
promoting the match, secured an
option on Sharkey's services for
one title defense. Probably next
September, In case the Boston
sailor .defeated Schmeling. The
German was bound for this fight
alone.
Schmeling Depart
For Homeland
Schmeling was announced as
receiving 37 per cent, Sharkey,
12, which are champion's and
challenger's shares, respectively,
of gate receipts under the rules of
New York state athletic commis
sion. Schmeling immediately depart
ed to set sail for Germany at mid
night, on the Europa. He will re
turn in March to start training.
Sharkey received the greatest
ovation of his career as he was
introduced from the ring. The
Garden rang-with cheers for him
and the uproar lasted several min
utes. People got so excited they
booed lustily at the name of
Schmeling and even forced Mayor
James J. Walker to rise and take
a bow.
Although no definite date yet
has been picked it was believed
June 16, a Thursday, would be
selected.

Metropoulus rets touch when

is a good wrestler and against
one who is dose to his speed, is
hard to beat.
The fans have been holler in

Dallas Beats
Corvallis by
20 -18 Score
DALLAS. Jan. 22 Dallas high
basketball fans experienced that
rare thrill of a victory for their
home high school team over a big
ger town's quintet, tonight when
the local boys triumphed over
Corvallis high 20 to 18.
Both teams played poor ball In
the first half, seeming to lack life.
Dallas led at half time, 6 to 5.
Corvallis speeded up in the third
quarter and forged five points
ahead, the score, being 15 to 10 at
the close.
The margin was exactly the
same with three minutes left to
play, and then Dallas suddenly
"snapped out of it" and 'scored
the points necessary to win.
The B squads also engaged in
a tight battle, Corvallis winning
18 to 14 after the regular play
ing time ended 14-all.
Dallas has a busy schedule Just
ahead, playing at Perrydale to
morrow night, at McMinnville
next Tuesday and at Indepen
dence, a county league game of
-major importance, Friday night.
Summary of A game:
WITH three decades of big
league piloting in back of
him, Connie Hack, now in
his seventieth year, faces one of
his toughest seasons.
According to all hot stove league
reckonings, the old fox won't have
any walkaway race with his Phila
delphia Athletics in the American
League grind next year. The
Yankees, his bitterest rivals, have
been enormously strengthened by
this Winter's acquisitions from the
minor leagues. The Washington
Senators can be counted upon to
be also up there fighting all the
way. And Chicago and Cleveland
both will show plenty of winning
ball - playing, according to Mack
himself.
With Frank Crosetti of the
Coast leagues, and other Pacific
slope stars on the New York ros
ter, the canny Connie expects the
xankee team to give his stellar ag
gregation stiff opposition through
out the race.
Of course, the silver-haired
Quaker City manager is confident
tnat ms noys will win out in the
end, but he isn't discounting the
chances of the other teams. Mack
has never Leen a braggart. Of the
Yankees he says: "They were so
good at the end of last season that
if the race had eone another month
there might have been a much
closer finish. They will be chock-
full of pep next year. They are
well handled and will have better
pitching this season than in 1931."
Connie laughs when you ask him
if he will retire after reaching the
age of seventy. He declares in no
uncertain terms that he win never
turn over the reins of his ball club
until he is of no use to the outfit.
"It's the game that keeps me
young," is his way of nutting it.
Connie would laugh even louder
if you were to tell him that Wash
ington and New York have counted
his pennant - winning team out ef
their 1932 calculations and are
watching each other. It is no
secret that the consensus of
opinion among the Yankees and
Senators is that the Athletics are
washed up and that some of the
best Quaker City players will be
traded.
The old fox has rood license to
snicker. Years and years ago the
United Breth.

word went around that Mack was
out of the big money. That was
after he had sold players like
"Home-Run" Baker and "Stuffy"
Mclnnia. But Connie fooled them
by buildinr ID the creat marhinn
that carried off three pennants and
two wona j series in succession.
There is no doubt that the old
catcher is as wily-witted a pilot as
ever ran a big league ball team.
He knows human psychology and
he knows the national game. In
ower woras, Be not only can tell
a great player when he sees one,
but he also can get everything pos
sible out ef his men.
"Ever since I came on this cir
cuit," said one veteran American
Leaguer, "I've been hearing tnat
Connie Mack was finished as a
first-class manager. I've never
really believed K and I don't be
lieve it now. Mack will never be
finished as a first-rate diamond
boss until he cant get down to the
ball field at all."
At sixty-nine the old fox of
baseball, is far too spry for any
thing like that!

and the Gervais players all af- tip
firmed the point.
When Coach Brown refused to
allow the point which would have
made the score 12 to 1 at the
start of the second half, Coach
Tumbleson sent his team to the
showers and forfeited the game.
Others in the crowd were of the
opinion that the point had .been
made.

An Ideal columnist, we

BEITS
That might be done for a few
momenti at the opening of each
game; the name of the player
making each score might be giv
en and of course substitutes en
tering the game might be an
nounced.
That much could be done
with rel benefit and the loud
speaker would not be banging
on the eardrums of spectators
through six games a day. The
complaint was quite general
that tho speakers made too
much noise. This of course can
be toned down somewhat.
