FIGHT FOR TITLE
British Challenger Rules
Favorite Over Champ for
Bout Tonight
NEW YORK ~ (® — John
Henry Lewis, light heavyweight
champion of the world, climbs
through the ropes of the Madison
Square Garden ring tonight to de
fend hiz crown against Jock Me-
Avoy of England, ablest of his na
tion to come up the pike in many
a day.
MecAvoy, who represents the
paradox of an English fighter who
can fight, has mapped out a pro
gram for himself which if success«
ful would see him king of the
world’s heavyweights. He already
holds the British middle and light
heavyweigict titles. Regardless of
the outcome of tonivht's encounter,
he will sail “or England next week
o meet Jack Peterson for the
British heavyweight tiile on April
23. If successful in bcth bouts, he
will return to this country seek
ing a joust with Jim Braddock.
McAvoy ruled a 9 to 10 choice
in the betting last night. Lewis
has been training at Pompton
Lakes, N. J., under the expert
guidance of Jack Blackburn, train
er of Joe Lewis,
The match is scheduled for 15
rounds and McAvoy says he is in
condition to travel that distance
at top speed, despite the opinion
of ohservers that he will seek to
k 0 the tall Negro whose forte is
bzfi'nfl 2. Dave Lumiansky, manager
of McAvoy, said he helieved Mec-
Avoy would be stronger than his
opponent. Jock has been building
up for the fight whereas Lewis has
had to train down to the light heavy
weight, limit,
ATHENS GRID SQUAD
GLOSES THIRD WEEK
*Athens High's football candi
dates were sent through a long
serimmage vesterday afternoon as
Coach Howéll Hollis brought the
third week of spring practice to a
close. 1
“The skirmish was the second of
the" week for the team, and the
_Pltyers displayed a much-im
proved form in their work. From
Thursday’s drill, however, it was
very evident that Hollis has plenty
of 'work to do, especially on pass
defense and all-around defensive
play of the backs.
Jack Cooper, lettermen at full
back last fall turned in a good
offensive exhibition, breaking away
on a spectacular 40-vard off
tackle play, but he was having
trouble breaking uy, aerial attacks
on defense.
The work of two other veterans,
C. B. Guest, guard, and Grover
Presnell, halfback, also had jte
good points. Guest, who is no
liftle fellow, should be one of the
most capable performers in the
Maroon forward wall next fall,
while Presnell is expected to be
fhé mainstay in the backfield, be
fi ang runner, the best punter
en+hand, and a passer of ng little
ability. . pio
While most of the veterans were
¢ r In good performances, sev
m~m men displaved form
‘that seems to indicate they will be
‘heard from next fall. Heading this
group was Coot Bryant, halfback,
‘ Athens High next
fall, being in Junior High school
at the present. Bryant is not only
“;’""‘;’”*‘ but also has
plenty of drive, and should go
“E‘?if handle his block-

Senators Boast Kid Team,
- But They May Be Wonders
‘ e ——— S—— ———
Bucky Harris Is Pleased
With His Team; Warns
American Leaguers
BY PAUL MICKELSON
(Associated Press Sports Wiriter)
ORLANDO, Fla. — (#) — Bucky
Harris, once the boy wonder
manager, may come up with a boy
‘wonder Washington team this
year.
~ Not by the wildest stretch of the
imagination does Bucky figure to
crash by the American League's
potential “Big Four” to capture the
pennant, but he does hold a good
chance to top second division and
possibly slip into first., The team
is giving Bucky some of his great
est of many thrills,
The Senators, rebuflt so com
pletely that only Barl Whitehill,
Joe Kuhel, and Buddy Myer re
main among the regulars of the‘
1933 champinship club, remind ons
of the “kid” squad that the Chica
go Cubs started out with last‘
spring. At almost every vital spot,,{
Harris has posted young hustlers
not so long out of their kneel
breeches, |
“This is the most interesting team
FPve ever managed,” said Harris
who is starting his 13th year as a
major league pilot. *“They're do
ing so. well in spring training so
far that T am commencing to be
lieve there is a Santa Claus, Oh,
bwe'll have some terrible days, but
we'll have some good ones, too.
We’'ll fool a lot of people.” |
Cecil Travis, converted from a
third baseman to &shortstop, and
Buddy Lewis, 19-year-old third
|baseman who came up from Chat
tanooga, have quickened every
one’s pulse in camp. Harris took
Travis to camp two weeks early
for personal coaching. He respon
ded so ably that he is almost cer
tain to start at shortstop. Lewis
rapparently is just what Harris
{hoped he would be at third. With
|Lewis and Travis in high gear,
.Hurrls' infield worries appear over
}Cornoli. (38) Jackson Co. (48)

Games will be played at 8 and

bert and Jackson county will
meet at 9 o'clock for the title,
Sam Narron, Cardinal
Rookie, Picked Frisch
To Watch in Practice
BRADENTON, Fla. — P -
Sam Narron, rookie catcher, is
either naive or clever, judging from
a story they told about him today
at the Cardinals' spring camp.
When the training season open
ed, Manager Frank Frisch suggest
ed that each reeruit pick out a
regular and follow him, doing
whatever he did,
Frisch, watching the activities on
the field the next day, saw Nar
ron idling beside him.
“Sam, what are you doing?®
Frisch wanted to know. “Didn't 1
tell you to pick out some regular
and do what he did?”
“Yes,” replied Narron. “I pick
ed you.” s ‘
with Myer at second and Kuhl at
first. His outfield,” at present
writing, will be the fastest in eith
er league with Jesse Hill, Wilson
Miles and Alvin Powell, all nearly
10-second men, forming the pat
rol, §
[Pitching should be stronger than
last year but not great. Buck New
som, who won 11 games during the
two months he was able to work, is
expected to be the team’s big win
ner, Buck has predicted he will
win no lesg than 25 games this
year.
~ Forming the “hig four” with him
probably - will -be Whitehill, Ed
Linke, who finished = last season
with eight straight victories, and
Jimmy DeShong, who Harris be
lieves never got a real chance to
prove his worth with the Yankees.
Professor Monte Weaver, after two
bad years, is a question mark,
Catching is Harris’ biggest prob
lem. Cliff Bolton, a powerful hit-’
ter, doesn’'t satisfy Harris on de
fense and a trade may be made
to plug the aspot.
The Senators, second in team
hitting only to Detroit last year,
should have plenty of power at the
plate with Myer, Powell, Travisand
Kuhel doing the biggest part of the
stick work. No team can show
better reserves—Ossie Bluege, Red
Kress and Roberto Estalella,
Clark Griffith, the “Old Fox” who
has been leader of the Senators 25
seasons this year, says the sky is
the limit for the team.
“If they start winning,” he said,
“they may forget to stop. Anyway,
I'm glad we got rid of a lot of vet
erans. When a veteran team loses
a couple of games, it gets the biues
and asually quits, “But not the
kids. They mnever quit.”

Weber, Leiber, Creenberg
And Chapman Expected
To Sign Any Day
NEW YORK — (#) — Along with
such signs of the. imminent arrival
of spring as the sighting of the
first robin is the mnews that base
ball’s holdouts—or the clubs—are
beginning to weaken,
Latest developments along the
holdout front are that Bill Werber
of the' Red Box, Hank Lieber of
the Giants, and possibly Detroit's
Hank Greenberg and Ben Chap
man of the Yankees are nearing
the point of agreeing with club
owners as to salary terms.
Werber, leaving for the south,
commented ruefully, “it looks a 3
though I'm going to have to gign
at their terms.”
~ Lefber didn’t put the same idea
into words but eitner a sudden
change of heart or a change in the
Giants' offer caused him to aban
don suddenly his task of coaching
the University of Arizona ball team
and begin wmreparations for a wvistt
to the New York training camp at
Pensacola, Fla.
It may or may not be significant,
in the absence of any word from
either party, that QGreenberg was
reported “out of town temporarily”
‘the day after owner Walter O,
’Hriggs of the Tigers announced
‘hi= new bonus plan.
~ Chapman, still a determined hold
out, has been practicing with the
Birmingham club so as to be in
.condition while the other unsigned
"Yankee, Charley Ruffing, has be
gun to wonder when Col. Jacob
Ruppert will reach St. Petersburg.
Ival Goodman of the Reds fin
ally capitulated yesterday and
Ernie. Lombardi is expected at
Tampa soon for a conference,
That leaves Dizzy and Paul Dean
of the Cardinals as the leading
holder-outers unaccounted for.
