Jimmy Foxx Noncommittal
On Surprise Sale To Chicago
By BUI King
Boston, June 2 UP) Tne faintest shrug of the shoulders was
the only reaction Jlmn.v Foxx, one of baseball's greatest moderns
exhibited when he experienced the most surprising shock In his
18 major league seasons his sale to the Chicago Cubs by the
Bufion Red Sox afiei seven other clubs had waived htm out of
the American league
Well, it should be a very In
teresting experience," Foxx said
when informed of his sale by
Dom DiMaggio, his roommate
and admiring friend, on his ar
rival here from Philadelphia
last night.
"Chicago Is a great city and
I'll like playing for my old
friend Jimmy Wilson and with
sueh others as Stan Hack, Bill
Nicholson, who was brought up
In Chestertown, Md., only eight
miles from Sudlersvllle, my
birthplace, and Dom Dallessan
dro, who waa with the Red Sox
when I first came here In 1938."
"I really don't know much
about the National league, for I
never thought I ever would be
in it," Foxx continued, "in fact
baing traded anywhere was a
matter that never occurred to
me."
The veteran first baseman
was so positive about his status
as a Red Socker that he brought
his 12 -year -old son, James
Emory, back with him for a
brief visit. "Now we'll have to
turn right around and head for
Chicago, sonny," the father told
his namesake and oldest off
spring. "I guess we'll like Chicago,
dad," replied Junior.

Sockeye Jack McDonald's sol
icitude for the welfare of Ref
eree Earl Yoakley cost him his
main cent wrestling match
with Ju'npin' Joe Savoldl in the
armory last night, and probably
never again wiU the big ex-log
ger turn his back on a desperate
opponent to care for s third
party in the rinr,.
The falls stood one apiece af
ter 10Vi minutes of torrid mat
work svhen tne roof fell in on
McDonald. Ha just tossed Sav
oldl up and over the ropes and
the pair were slugging toe to
toe, separated by the hemp, when
disaster struck, and not at Jump-
In Joe.
Yoakley, attempting to halt
proceedings and get the brawl
back on something resembling
a legitimate basis, waa clipped on
the button by Savoldl He sag
ged backwards and sat down and
McDonald Immediately e-.ided
hostilities with Savoldl to In
quire into Yoakley's general
health.
It wasn't so good, and as Mc
Donald bent over to caress the
spot on which Savoldl landed
his wild clout the latter stormed
back through the ropes and
whacked Sockeye across the back
of his neck, knocking him flat
on his back. Savoldf then placed
himself on top of McDonald.
When Yoakley awoke, some
seconds later, the two grapplera
were still In that position. Wear
ily the referee tolled off the
three-count while the customers
raved and ranted, and Savoldi's
arm waa lifted in token of vic
tory. Unhappy over the outcome,
McDonald soared to his feet and
the boys staged a short curtain
call, with honors about even. It
looks like a rematch.
Six minutes elapsed before
Savoldl, rebounding off the
ropes after some interesting fist
fighting, lashed out with a drop
kick that caught McDonald In
the face and sent him to the car
pet for the first tumble.
A mere half-minute later Mc
Donald evened the score with a
series of flips and a press.
George Craig. Camp White
blacksmith, proved he had lost
little of his ability which made
him a big favorite here some six
years ago by taking two out of
three falls from cowboy Dude
Chick In the middle event.
The deciding fall came In the
fourth round when Craig, on
top of Chick's shoulders and ap
parently about to become the
victim of the lariat spin, grab
bed the top strand of the ropes.
This threw Chick off balance
and he toppled over, with Craig
on top, and that was the fall.
A body scissors and a press
gave Chick the first fall in the
second round, and Craig em
ployed a body press to take the
next tumble in the third heat.
Big Jim Corbett used sonnen
bergs and a body press to take
the lone fall of his opening
match with Chief Thunderblrd,
the tumble coming in the fourth
and final round, and Tex Climer,
a cantonment worker, grabbed
one fall from Nerval Stockstill
of Talent with a body press, in
the special event.
The British Empire, before
the war, covered about one
fourth of the world's habitable
surface.
