SINE - NEW W
By BILL KING
Associated Press Staff Writer
BOSTON~— (AP) ~—— The bhase
ball club with the longest name
is going to put its title—the Na
tional League Baseball Club of
of Boston—on the chopping block
tfldayn
But the erstwhile Braves, by
whatever name, remain the same
old team, Their 1936 roster, in to
day’s mail, proves it.
Several thousand names, one of
which is Bronchos, have been sub
mitted for the consideratiop of a
committee of writers. The lucky
nicknamer will be awarded two
geasons passes for all games play
ed on the premises at 32 Gaffney
street, once known as Braves
Field.
The roster issued by the club in
cluded one .300 hitter and a sin
gle major league pitcher who won
more than he lost last season.
Outfielder Hal (.300) Lee is the
bhatter and righthander Job (3 and
2) Reis, late of the DBrooklyns, the
chucker.
Brandt Missing
Ed Brandt's name is missing,
but when the printer crossed him
off the list, he added Al Lopez, the
first real catcher the club has had
in 20 years—since Hank Cowdy's
day—and Infielder Tony Cuccin
ello. The Ex-Dodgers and Wally
Berger are counted on for much
needed strength down the middle
The rest of the infield probably
will include Bavter Jordan at first,
Bull Urbansky at short and Pinkey
Whitney at third. If “Rabbit”
Maranville is retained, either Cos
carart or Ellie Fletcher will be
farmed out.
Lee, Berger and such other fa
miliar faces as Joe Mowry, Rupert
Thompson and Johnny Tyler com
prise the outfield squad, along with
Hdd&e Morfirty, ethe Holy Cross
bhoy who quit the eclub last year
after eight games.
On the pitching squad are such
old stagers as Freddy Frankhouse
Danny MasFayden, Bob Smith,
Bobby Brown and Ben Cantwell.
It also numbers Ray Benge, who
accompanies Reis from Brooklyn
and several rookies who must click
to get the club out of the cellar.
Among the youngsters are Jim
Chaplin and Sharkey Eiland, late
of Nashville, Joe MeClockey and
Eldon McLean, up from Wilkes-
Barre and Harrisburg, and a
Simpson, 111.,, hoy named Gerald
Veach, who won nine and lost four
last year down in° Paducah, Ky.

Athens Hi Meets Hartwell
Quint Here Friday Night
R e —— ¥
Elberton |s Foe for Satur
day Night; Hartwell Is
Favored to Win |
Athens High school basketball
team, a great first-half ball club,
will make another attempt to get
started on the victory path to
morrow night on the local court,
playing host to Hartwell High's
veteran quintet.
Only once this season, against
Richmond Academy, has the Ma
roon five been able to show any
second half fight, and as a result
the Athens record is not very im
pressive. The Tenth Distriet tour
nament is only a few weeks off,
and it is very evident that the lo
cals will -have to begin winning
games in the immediate future if
they hope to successfully defend
their crown.
Beaten Once
The Nancy Harts edged out a
22-20 victory over the Maroonsg
earlier in the season, and will hold
a very small edge in tomorrow
night's cantest., Hartwell has a
big team, about theglargest in the
district, with Jesse Mauldin, tow
ering center, heading the list.
Hartwell starting lineup will
probably be composed of Shirley
and Prown at forwads, Mauldin at
center ,and Whitaker and Saxon
at the guard berths. Sam Gard
ner, Athens coach, will open with
Robert Horne and either Jack
Reid of Jimmy Hudson at for
wards, Robert Hodgson at center,
and Rudy Guest and Jack McDon
ald at guards.
Poor Condition
The Athens squad is in none
too good condition, despite the fact
that there are no serious injuries.
MecDonald has a bad ankle, and
may be forced to give his starting
berth to either Rayvmond Mitchell
or Marion Wilkes. Guest, captair
of the team, was all vesterday, and
unable to take part in very much
of the scrimmaging. Horne was
also complaining of a sore foot
while one or two others reported
minor mishaps.
The Athens girls team will play
the Hartwell lassies in a prelim
inary contest ¥Friday night, start
ing at 7:30 o'clock. Admission to
the doubleheader will be 15 and 25
cents. In a previous contest the
Nancy Hart sextet edged out the
local girls by a one-point margin,
20 to 19. :
: To Meet Elberton
Saturday night the two cage
teams will go to Elberton to battle
i the Elberton High school boys and
’ girls for the first time of the sea-
I son.
i Coach Gardner yesterday an
| nounced a change in the boys
schedule. The Richmond Academy
l game in Augusta will be played on
Saturday night, February 15¢h
*while Elberton will come here on
the 14th of the same month.

Give Exhibition of
Billiards in Athens
in Ath
Every sport has. its “Shiek” and
billiards is not with exception,; in
asmuchas Wilile Mosconi, Phila
delphia pocket billiards ace, who
appears at the Q room, 171 College
avenue on Feb, 4th at 9:00 p. m.
significantly qgualifies as “The
Shiek of Billiards”,
Of Ttalian descent, Mosconi ap
pears to be a cross between “this
nationality and Irish. He has
black curly hair and blue eyes.
W o m e n_ billiard enthusiasts
throughout the country have been
flocking to his exhibitions “during
the past two years, the fair-sex
fans being eager for an opportun
ity to obtain free billiard instruc
tions from the black-haired young
ster.
During his two hour exhibition
at Athens Mosconi will devote one
hour to offering free billiard les
sons to both women and men. The
remaining hour will be consigned
to an exhibition of pocket billiards
with the best players available and
a sparkling display of fancy shots.
The Philadelphian js the young
est of al] the world’'s leading poc
ket billiardists and also the speed
jest. In fact, Mosconi is probably
the fastest pocket star of all time.
The Italian lad started playing
billiards at an early age and came
into nationa] prominence in 1933,
when he won the Hastern Section
al title. This made him eligible
for the world championshix\ tour
nament and he was an immediate
sensation, finishing in a four way
tie with James Caras, = George
Kelly and Andrew Ponzi; finally
winding up in fifth place in the
play-offs—a remarkable achieve
ment for a mere youth in his first
attempt for world titie honors. In
cluded in his six victories were the
scalps of Caras, former champion
Frank Taberski, Kelly and the de
fending champion —the famed
Ralph Greenleaf.
In the 1935 world championship
tournament, held last December
on the new streamlined table with
its new purple cloth in the roof
garden of Hotel Pennsylvania in
New York, the flashy Italian
yvoungster finished fourth, after
landing in a tie for third place
with his fellow townsman, George
Kelly, at the completion of the
regular schedule. Kelly won the
play-off contest for third position.
Mosconi's fast play, even speedier
than usual, proved disastrous in
several strategical spoOts. :

‘Great Fighters Adored By
~ Dean of Announcers
i As They Developed
BY HARRY GRAYSON
Sports Editor, NEA Service
NEW YORK — Most announcers
start fights cold and a great ma
jority of them wind up that way.
lJoe Humphreys became the great
est of all master of ceremonies at
[fistic encounters, to use the title
{ he selected for himself, because he
steamed up a show quicker than
Jimmy Durante heated up a night
club.
Anyhody who adored great fight
ers as did Humphreys couldn’t
miss getting many a thrill out of
introducing the principalg in more
| than 20,000 contests over a stretch
|of 45 years. Joe the Beaut was at
| his best when one of his kind of
| fighters stood ready to lash him
| self into- battle — a McGovern, a
| Dempsey, a Leonard, a Joe Lynch,
la, Greb, or a MecLarnin, particular
!ly if the slightest trace.of Irish
i blood coursed in his veins.
Humphreys attained a dizzier
height every time Lynch squared off
with Little Jack Sharkey, and they
had it out on eight occasions. Lyn
ch always was good for a three
minute oration that finished with
“the fighting Irish-American from
the west side and the bantam
weight cham-peen of the wor-r-1d!"
Little Jack Sharkey was “the Ital
ian-American gamecock.” Humph
reys, the master showman, had
their respective followings on the
edge of their seats and glaring at
one another after they had raised
the roof of the old Garden.
Looking back, Humphreys says
‘he obtained a tremendous kick out
tof his first important assignment
outside of New York —the intro
}ductlon of Terry McGovern and
]Young Corbett ifi San Francisco,
' March 31, 1903.
The Beaut admits that his pulse
quickened that afternoon at Boyle's
Thirty Acres when he led Georges
Corpentier front and center, re
minded 75,000 persons that he was
“the soldier idol of Old France,”
and motioned to the band to strike
up the “Marseillaise.” Introducing
Dempsey and Luis Angel Firpo,
and Dempsey and Gene Tunney be
fore 105,000 people at Soldiers
Field would make any spine tingle,
but Humphreys biggest moment in
a ring came the night that Charles
A. Lindbergh flew to Le Bourget.
As Lindy Flew to Le Bourget
A restless crowd eagerly await
ed the start of the Jack Sharkey-
Jim Maloney gcrap at the Yankee
Stadium when operators at the
ringside received werd that Lind
bergh was only 300 miles fram
Paris.
Humphreys taised his right hand
as only he can, and announced the
giadsome tidings after hig custo
mary “Qui-ett, please—qui-ett.”
“And now, lay-dees and gentul
men, let us all stand a moment
and bow in silent prayer.” Forty
thousand persons, noisy and fidgety
only a few geconds before, siood as
one. You could have heard a pin
drop as the matchless mouthpiece
intoned, “May the Almighty steey
him clear across the ocean and land
him safely at his desunation on the
shores of our dearest allied coun
try, France.”
Humphreys, who never had an
equal at holding disorderly pugil
istic turnouts in the palm of his
hand, asserts that he never before
or gince felt hig power over a
crowd to the extent that he did
that eventful night. Sport’s spokes
men was invited to speak at hun
dreds of Sunday school classes.
Hundreds of preachers used the
dramatic picture as the subject of
their sermons the following Sab
bath. Poemg were written about
it.
Humphreys believes that hig next!
biggest thrill came the night he!
succeeded in getting Governor Al-!
fred E. Smith to his first and only
fight and introducing him from the}
ring as “the idol of the sidewalks
of New York.” The occasion was
Anne Morgan’'s show for devastatea |
France at the old Garden in 1921..
Humphreys contends that that
production did more for boxing
than any other one thing since it
was restored to good standing fol- |
lowing the war. They still talk of |
the main event that night, too.‘
Ritchie Mitchell had the great Ben- t
ny Leonard in the resin before be-!
ing knocked out in the sixth round.
Humphreys likes to speak of the .
reception that State Senator James
J. Whlker got at the old Garden
when Joe the Beaut introduced the
man who legalized the game in|
New York. I
John L’s Last Appearance
Nor will Humphreys ever forget |
the last appearance fm the ring of
the one and only John L. Sullivan. |
It was at he Jess Willard-Frank |
Moran engagement at the old Gar- !
den in 1916, which was Tex Rick- !
prd’s first promeotorial effort in
Manhattan, by the way. James J.
Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmons also
were present and Joe the Beaut in
troduced them with a rare flew of
superlatives. {
Joe the Beaut had prepared a |
speech for Sullivan, but it didn'¢;
seem to fit after he had spilled so !
many fancy phrases on Gentleman |
Jim and Ruby Robert. After all,|
Sullivan was the best-loved ring—i
man in history. The situation call- ‘
ed for something simple.
Somebody had mandled Humph
reys the belt of colors that Sulli
van wore when he fought Charley |
Mitchell at Chantilly a generation
before. g ¥

First Base Seems To Breeg
The “Iron Men’’ (f
Fourteen of Sixteen Play
ers Who Played First
Base to Be Back Again
By ALAN GOULD
Associated Press Sports Editor
NEW YORK.,—/#)—Despite the
obvious hazards of the job, first
bate seems to breed “iron men* in
haseball.
For that reason, among others,
comparatively few changes will be
made among the major league
guardians of the No. 1 sack for
the 1936 pennant races. ;
Fourteen of the 16 players who
held forth as regulars last season
will he back at the same stand,
barring accidents or sOme unex
pected developments in training
camps. This includes Jimmie Foxx,
the Maryland Mauler, who began
the 1915 season behind the bat at
Connie Mack’s request, subse
quently returned to his regular
job at first and who now has
shifted his allegiance to the Bos
ton Red Sox.
Foxx will replace Ellsworth
(Babe) Dahlgren, the flashy field
er from the Coast league. Need
ing no understudy for Foxx, the
Red Sox optioned Dahlgren to the
Syracuse Internationals, Mean
while the A’s have a choice of Jim
Oglesby, drafted from Los Angeles
or Lou Finney, a utility outfield
er, for the first base job.
The Cincinnati Reds contem
plate the only change among Na
tional league first basemen. George
McQuinn, top fielding first sacker
of the Interpational league with
Newark last year but only a .288
nitter, is slated to replace veter
an Jim Bottomley.
Managers Change
Two managers whg started the
1935 season at first base, Charley
Grimm of the Chicago Cubs and
Rogers Hornsby of the St. Louis
Browns,” have no idea of repeating
the trick. Grimm yielded quickly
to the brilliant youngster, Phil
Cavarretta. Hornsby will be sat
isfied to let Irving (Jack) Burns
resume as regular first sacker.
Another playing pilot, Bill Terry
of the Giants, talked loudly ahout
retiring to the dugout but his .340
batting mark and record as the
league’'s top ,frelding first base
man leaves him no alternative un
less, as he fears, he ‘breaks
down.” :
The Giants tried to pry Jim Col
ling away from the St. Loujs Car
dinals but there’s no chance of
“Jarring Jim” leaving unless John
ny Mize shows sensational devel
opment,
The iron horse of the New York
pocket, and asked Corbett to pres
ent them to the Boston Strong Boy
of long ago.
“As Corbett gave ehim to Sulli
