OAKLAND TRIBUNE, MONDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1933 13 CHICAGO CUBS MAY BUY JOINER FROM OAKS NEUTRAL STRANGE AS IT SEEMS By John Hix (Copyright. 1933. for The Tribune.)

Tr TINT'S iyit IV mm, ii I iS 1 FOUR-WAY TIE III EASTBAY SOCCER Spared from rain, four Eastbay Soccer League teams emerged from play yesterday afternoon in a first-place tie. The Neptunes staged the surprise of the day when they held the Rangers to a 4 to 4 tie at the Emeryville speedway.

Had the Rangers been able to win they would have held undisputed possession of first place, but today rfinds them deadlocked with Neptunes. Ibericos, who whitewashed Berkeley 3 to 0. and with Crockett, which also blanked Scandias, 3 to 0. Sons of St. George defeated the De Molays.

5 to 2, while the Wanderers and Hayward battled to a 3 to 3 tie. NEPTUNES FIGHT HARD Alec Legge, center forward of the Rangers, started the hectic afternoon with a pair of goals. The Neps tied the count when Bill Cut ler scored and Ray Fauss executed a penalty kick witn nnesse. The Rangers' flashy inside forward. Bob Christie, ended the half by scoring two goals to put his club In front, 4 to 2.

Both teams started real action in the second half. Les Joseph, Neps' right half, placed the ball Into the net after a brisk scrimmage, and Tommy Hallinan followed a few moments later with another goal to tie the score. From that time it was a battle royal. The De Molays outplayed the more experienced Sons in the first half, and took a 1 to 0 lead when Frank Haig plunked the ball into the net, but the Sons back strong in the second half, and scored their five goals before the De Molays made their second one. BILL WHEELER INJURED All fighting was not confined to the main attraction.

Bill Wheeler of the Sons had to have cracked head taped before he could continue. tried to bump the ball with his head, missed and bumped into another player. The De Molays showed marked improvement in the contest, and are looking forward to the time that they can defeat the more experienced clubs. Next Sunday the Berkeley and Wanderer clubs will clash in the main event at the speedway, LEAGUE STANDINGS oaM w. Ilierlrn 1 ItRllfrrs (t Crockett 1 Wanderers 'J Sons of M.

Tart of his expedition completed the voyage, but Magellan was killed in the Philippine Islands by natives when his trip around the world from Seville was just more than half completed.

One of his ships, the Victoria, bore the remnants of his once imposing force into the River Guadalquivar near Seville, three years after the trip had started with Magellan in command. Of the 270 men who started the voyage, only 18 returned with the Victoria. To Magellan is due credit for directing the voyage and exploration as far as the Philippines, and for the discovery of a route around the world by water.

Henderson, although needing no alibi when losing to such a game as that played by Hardies, had one if ne wantea it. ttrs- putter failed him. A three-putt performance on the fourteenth marked the turning point in the match and he could never regain ground.

They were even at the turn. Kenworthy, who meets Hardies in the semi-finals, was two up at the turn over Joe Guisto and dormy at the fifteenth. Guisto won the sixteenth and seventeenth, but a half on the eighteenth gave Bill the match by a 1 up margin. Cryer defeated Grafton May, 1 up, in a see-saw match which found Cryer three up at the turn, even at the thirteenth, two down at the fifteenth, even at the seventeenth and winner on the eighteenth.

W. Dervftis. AMATEUR RING 1DUP SET TONIGHT By ALAN WARD San Jose, which has turned out some pretty good scrappers in the past few years, -will be well represented at the windup of the trl-state amateur fight tournament at the San Francisco Civic Auditorium tonight. Little Tommy Cobb, on the unattached list, will box Ambrose Loyola, of the Antioch A. for a starter, and if he makes the grade will meet the winner of the John Martin-John Aguirre match for the title.

Martin and Aguirre are from Phoenix, and Ls Angeles, respectively. SAN JOSE BOXERS Earl Brooks, of the San Jose Golds, and Eddie Brooks, a brother. from the same club', are the additional Garden City representatives. Earl will box Eddie Hayden, of the King City A. a well-seasoned boy, in the opener', scrap with the winner of the Damon Belindo-Mar-ris Gragna set-to being in view.

Eddie Brooks has drawn Earl Bum-gardner, of the Salinas A. in the first heat, and may get a crack at either Peter Martin, Phoenix, or Nick Petralia, Los Angeles, for the top honors. Only three Olympic Club, entries have fought their way Into windup bouts a low average for an organization that has turned out champions by the dozen in the past. Frank Connelly, heavyweight," has but one bout during the evening, and that with "Sonny" Walker of Thoemx Junior College. 1 Raymond Morales, featherweight, will clar.h with Charles Nunes, of the Salinas A.

in his first match, and Fred Apostoli will take on Dick Foster, of Jack Buckley's Club, Oakland. They arc middleweights. TOPS PROGRAM Foster has been training hard all week at Duffy's Gym, and hopes to hurdle Apostoli in conclusive fashion in his trek toward the. tri-state title. This scrap looks like one ol the best on a card that should fur nish an abundance of thrills, a maximum of knockouts and some future professional ring stars.

Little is known of the out-of-state and Southern California invaders, although their sponsors have declared all are capable battlers and will hold their own with the best that Northern California has to offer. John Martin, Chippewa Indian from Phoenix, Arizona, who tanglei with John Aguirre, of Los Angeles, in one of the 112-pound shindigs, drawing the winner of the Ambrose Loyola-Tommy Cobb encounter for the diadem, is said to be one Of the hardest punchers in that pint-weight division. Martin has had 15 amateur fights, winning 14 by knockouts. The majority of the Arizona representatives are Indians. Fourteen scraps tonight will be of the elimination variety, to provide contestants for the final eigh which will decide the titles.

WEARS RIVAL JERSEY BOSTON. To make practice more realistic, Conch Joseph Mc-Kenney of Boston College puts on the tackling dummy a jersey of the same color as that worn by the team's next opponent.

Down south recently Wells was training Johnny Peha for a Hollywood match. That morning the Englishman leaped from his bed and rushed in to brush his teeth. Instead of grabbing the toothpaste he picked up the shaving cream, and was half through the operation before he noticed the difference.

PITCHER FANS 29 BRECKENRIDGE, Tex Al Shapiro, sand-lot pitcher, struck out 29 betters in a 12inning late season baseball game here, allowing but two hits, although errors' by his teammates forced him to a hard tussle for a 8 to 6 Victory.

who won 21 games for the locals last season, has not yet been sold. Vic Devin-cenzi, vice-president of the club, spiked the report from Chicago that, the Wrigley interests have1 pur-chased the pitcher to use in their rebuilding program. Devincenzi admitted that Charels "Boots" Weber, former Los Angeles secretary and now business manager of the' Cubs, asked for figures on the southpaw, but denies a deal has been closed. In fact it was just a couple of weeks ago that Weber fame here to talk with the Oak official. It would have been impossible for the deal to take place as the major-minor agreements prevent sales or trades between September 24 and November 4, which is the draft period.

CUBS GIVEN PREFERENCE The Oak official did promise Weber that he would not make any deal for Joiner without giving him first chance to accept or -reject the pitcher at the best figure offrred by any other club, so something may be stirring early next week, or just as soon as Devincenzi arrives in Galveston for the baseball owners' meeting, November 15. Joiner, a find of the late Umpire Jack McCarthy, has been with the Oaks for five years nd displayed his best form duling the season which closed the first of this month. Two Berkeley boys are also reported to be among those sought by the Cubs for their rebuilding program. They are seeking Outfielder Charles "Chick" Hafey from the Cincinnati Reds, and Infirlder Augie Galan of the San Francisco 'Seals. It has been reported from Chicago that Galan has already been sold to the Cubs.

Hafey and Galan are products of the Berkeley sandlots. MAY TRADE KOENIC. According to Associled Press dispatches. Mark Koenig. San Franciscan, is one of the Cubs to go in the shakeup.

H.e is slated to go to the Phillies with two Cubs in a deal for Outfielder "Chuck" Klein. The move will also involve in cash. Outfielders Hazen Cuyler and Jim Mosolf and Pitcher Pat Malone are slated to go to the Reds in the Hafey deal. Phil Wrigley today confirmed the story printed in these columns last Wednesday to the effect that "Boots" Weber would be business manager of the Cubs, lie was offered the position of president, which Wrigley now fills, and when he declined Webrr was asked to be business manager. Smith Praises Bears' Center (Conl.

from preceding Sport page.) will seo them Saturday against Rice Institute. The second phase of the game that impressed me was California's ability to make the weak-side stuff go against the Trojans. Frankly. I did not expect to see the Troian tackles particularly the right I tackle pinched by the California ends, thus permitting the Bear interference to take care of the Trojan right end and run for long gainers. The deception in the Ingram offense drew the Trojan secondary away from the focal point of attack.

TROJANS STILL GREAT In short, Bill Ingram's California eleven displayed the offensive and defensive power that we knew they possessed. Those who would steal something from the Golden Bears showing by inferring that the Trojans are cracking, are speaking in ridiculous fashion. The Trojan offense Saturday at Berkeley had just as much power and finesse as that which marched through St. Mary's. Southern California's passing attack was 100 per cent better against the Bears than it was against the Gaels.

California faced a better Trojan team than St. 'Mary's did. The Trojane are not cracking. They will crack if Aaron Rosenberg is forced to be out of the game any length of time. Were it not for Rosenberg, the Bears would have scored a touchdown.

Last week, I declared that Red Christie would make people forget that Rosenberg was on the field. I am rlad to report in this article that such a prophecy' was fulfilled. Christie's play epitomised the Golden Bear spirit. Long will I remember, Christie taking two steps across the line of scrimmage, then coming back like a bullet to protect his territory on pass defense and bat the ball down. If possible I want to get, motion pictures of this one particular play to show my centers what a good center does in the wav of pass defense.

DEFENSE IS KEY It is one of the axioms of football that no offense in the world is worth a tinker's "curse against a hard-charging defensive line. With Carlson, Morris and Christie booming the Trojan offensive linesmen, and with Lutz and Ransome smashr ing in sharply, the Trojan running attack found itself checked. The Golden Bears did not commit one tactical, error on defense, if you exclude the one Warburton dash, which1 1 think occurred because the Bears led Tdown "psychologically" for the duration of that play. War-burton is never stopped not even when he is apparently JJWJ, BIG SCHEDULE FOR SATURDAY (Cont. from preceding Sport page.) championship standpoint.

Yet when the occasion demanded a pass, a pass of victory, the Golden Bears, (he fighting Golden Bears who had manhandled the greatest team in America for virtually three and one-half quarters, attempted a field goal seeking a tie! No, Bill Ingram need not apologize to anyone. We have hr en most critical of Ingram. The man had no tribunal of his own, such as this newspaper, to answer us, and he was too much nf a sportsman to answer us in his own organ. For our unjustified statements we apologize.

We are sorry for saying those things we did say. Bill! You cancelled a preliminary game to assure a dry field. You knew it was raining and that people would wait, making one final grand dash for the stadium, resulting in a stampede. You were willing to risk criticism of "crowd handling" to give the Trojans the billiard-table smoothness and firm footing on the field of play that, they desired. UNFLAGGING COURAGE At nor time did you go on defense.

At no time did you display lack of courage. Your weak-side attack was the shrewdest and most magnificently conceived that we have seen this year. Your orthodox defense, as simple as the alphabet, checked an attack as complicated as the theory of relativity. We liked your direct action, Bill. We know now why Knute Rockne said to us one Winter's day in Dallas, Texas.

"If Rill Ingram gets the breaks at. California and Those fanatical alumni let him alone he'll beat (he Trojans for Ingram has character and fortitude and he won't quit!" Frankly, Bill, we thought you had committed "football statesmanship" errors because of the Mohammed-like football heaven you promised to California's super-critical alumni. We realize now" that you had dreamed a great dream, based on all the laws of reason, a dream that almost materialized Saturday In dark, dank Memorial Stadium. We hail, you for your achievement for we consider the game a victory for California. We hail you as greater than Howard Jones, because you taught 75,000 people a lesson of fight, firm resolve and you smiled in defeat! You smiled in defeat! Why Bill, you could have walked up to Howard Jones and have said, "Howard, you were lucky and you know it! But the grim scoreboard will tell of your defeat and the records will be unkind to you, Bill, because posterity will know only that you lost, 6 to 3.

But we are going to paste this story in the scrapbook of ours, even in front of some of the miracu-olus Rockne sagas, and when everything looks dark and we want to throw up our hands in despair and run for cover, we will read this story, not because we have written it, but because it is a living testimonial' to the courage of a truly line gentleman and iporUmanl Gillette, Probak and Valet Blades NOW fa the time to equip with tfiose softer, safer, low-pressure Generals that everyone is talking about Remero. ber, only Generals have the patented construction that permits 40 less than standard pressure, without sacrificing mileage.
