SONNENBERG WILL BRING BIG GATE RECEIPTS TO MAT GAME, SAYS SPORT CRITIC By FRANK GETTY, United Press Sports Editor. Wrestling is fast coming to the front as a money-making sport There arc those who have maintained that wrestling could nerer hope to enter the class of "Million Dollar Gates'" because there was not enough action or color to it, that the average sports fan wanted his entertainment served with a wallop ar.d a ring. But now it seems that all the wrestling game really needed wis an individuality to put it over. Fighting has its Dempsey; football has its Granger; baseball has its Ruth; and now, wrestling has its Sonnenberg. A check of the total scores of the teams In the two divisions of the Y.

The basket ball tendency In football In this era of the open game and much passing Is Indicated strikingly by the great number of football ends whose names are appearing In basket ball lineups all over the country.

The number of men who double In football and basket ball Is large and among the grid stars on the court the ends are overwhelmingly predominant. Looking over the rosters of a few teams, such names stand out as Tom Churchill of Oklahoma. Jerry Neme-cek of New York university, Fesler of Ohio State, Truskowskl of Michigan, Swarthout of Dartmouth and Polltls of Fordham. Among the many that might be added are Joey Schaaf of Penn, high scorer of the Eastern Intercollegiate Basket Ball league, who was drafted for service on the eleven last fall. any sheriff's office In the state.

The owners spoke to the foremen, anel the foremen spoke to the workers, with the result that the workers joined in a parade with banners, against the Sunday sports bill.

There had been a big battle of handbills. First, the town was plastered with signs reading "On the Sunday Sports Referendum, Vote Yes Yes Yes." The antis countered with a wave of signs reading "On the Sunday Sports Referendum, Vote No No No." The yes men tore down the no signs, and vice versa. The waste of wood-pulp paper was enormous. There came the day of the big anti-Sunday sports parade. As it passed through an enemy stronghold, the paraders were showered with ripe vegetables and verbal abuse.

Suddenly out of a side street there came a figure on horseback, a tattered rider on a decrepit horse. The rider wore whiskers, a brown derby, a "Vote Yes" banner for a costume, and carried a lighted torch in one hand. Taking a position about half a block ahead of the parade, the outlandish jockey prepared the town inhabitants for the paraders in his wake by stentorian cries: "To arms! To arms! The British are coming!" Those staid New Englandcrs enjoy a bit of quiet fun once in a while. West Point, N. Jan.

19 (U) The Army narrowly missed a clean sweep In Its athletic program heer today. scoring victories in five sports and 300-pound football star from Dartmouth, Is the man who ii expected to bring wrestling back Into the dividend paying class. His last bout with Strsngler Lewis at Boston, on January 4, drew the record gats of 172,000. He la now champion and his next match should gross a gate of at least 1300,000. If wrestling fans want action, Sonnenberg can give It to them In largs and copious doses.

What ha lacks la beet he makes up In cyclonic tempo. If his technique Is not as finished as those who have massaged the mat for years, his dizzy speed and head work puts him In a class entirely by himself. And for those who pooh, may It be said, that In his short, but speedy career, Gus has mingled tn some 70 bouts, and never yet bas his youthful shoulders kissed the mat. "Dynamite" Ous is going to bt I popular idol with the sport fans the boys who furnish the shekels at the turnstile, because of his consummate mat-generalship. He haa shown a remarkable ability to outsmart some of the wiliest old veteran In the game time and time again.

Neither the fans nor his opponents ever know what he is going to pull next. Many a time when Gus seemed to ail In, spent and tired, suddenly came back with a rush and befora his surprised opponent knew Just what was happening, he found Gus' bullet head nestling in the pit of the stomach with force enough to fell a bull. As a matter of fact, one of Sonnen-berg's many aliases Is "The Bull of the Campus." His bull-like rushes and flying football tackles hare won him victory after victory. He literally wins his matches with his head. In the championship bout at Boston in which he snatched the title away from Strangler Lewis, Sonnenberg battered and butted his man Into a state of dazed Insensibility from which he didn't seem able to recover before the official finally disqualified him.

In addition to a purse of $8,000 that bout gave Sonnenberg the much coveted diamond-studded championship belt, valued at 10,000. Gus has a hobby. It la professional football, and the winning of his recent bout gives him the much-desired grubstake whereby he will be able to develop that sport In Boston, 42 PLAYERS WILL BE AFTER JOBS ON LOCAL TEAM plana Monday night. Freeberg Is looking at his grapplina career through rose colored glasses and haa the same Idea Stasiak enjoys about getting a bout with Sonneri-berg. In the past year Freeberg lias staged a remarkable comeback.

All of his contests have not been victories but he has won the maority and In defeat has made a splendid stand. His recent bout here against, the giant Stasiak was one of the best of the season. He weighs IXt pounds. Is very strong and knows every hold In the game. He Is an expert In applying torture holds and counts upon his famous arm-locks to bring him victory Monday night.

The return of Jack Washburn will attract quite a few to the Coliseum Monday night but In the belief of many the handsome Chicago matman has a big task before him In taking on Buck Olson. Last week Olson tackled Stasiak and for about 60 minutes he gave Stasiak a great tussle. He surrendered one fall when caught In a split and lost the second fail when he tried to match strength with the giant Pole. Olson, however. I f.

Tys, a sophomore, has defied this coblna-tlon of facts by playing as good a game as a guard on the court as he did as a tackle on the gridiron. Besides forming a fine defensive barrier he managed to score In all of Columbia's first few games.

Miami could not turn out $500,000 to a real heavyweight championship match and it must be remembered that neither Stribling or Sharkey wears the crown.

We doubt whether the late Mr. Rickard could have drummed up a $500,000 gate in Miami and that's just the amount of money it's going to take to pay individuals for the Sharkey-Stribling affair. The south is very proud of VV. h. "Young" Stribling, its leading representative in the heavyweight boxing tournament, but it is doubtful whether the majority of sport fans ot Dixie think enough of the Georgia Peach to travel through several states to see him in action.

Surely Florida alone cannot produce the $500,000 gate and there won't be any mad rush of ring worms from the north to see the mill. Stribling has taken some of the edge off the battle by his barn storming in tank towns. There arc few sections in the south that have not seen Stribling in action and usually when the fans see htm once that is enough. Miami is putting on the big bout as a publicity stunt and that's about all anyone outside of the boxers will get out of it. Marty Burke, New Orleans heavyweight, picks Stribling as the next champion.

He has a lot of respect for the Georgia Peach. Our vote goes to Stribling. Casting out four-fifths of his ring record we still believe he is the best of a bad lot and capable of defeating all comers. Yc believe that if he was matched with Jack Dempsey our vote would still be in favor of Stribling. HERE YOU ARE.

Dear sir: Our girls' basket ball team appears to be unable to secure any real opposition in the state of Arkansas and if not too much trouble, would be very glad if you would give us the name of the most outstanding high school girls' team in northern or northwestern Louisiana. We would also be interested in arranging a game with the best girls' team in the Shreveport territory either high school, college or independent. Our team last year played in the National A.

A. U. tournament in Wichita, Kansas, and was unfortunate in being forced to meet the Tresevent-Cochran team of Dallas, Texas, in our second game. They defeated us, 27-24. and it developed later that we were the only team that gave Dallas any opposition in the entire tournament.

Incidentally that was the only game the Sparkman team has lost in its three years of playing. We assure you that any help you can give us in arranging some games with teams in your territory will be appreciated, we remain. Yours very truly. SPARKMAN SPARKLERS, R. North, Manager.

Nothing to Indicate that the holder of such a record would win 19 and lose but 15 games for Boston, a tail-ender In the majors, that he would allow less than one hit to an Inning and walk only 76 batters In 257 Innings, that he would master every other club In the league.

And. Manager Bill Carrigan picked no soft spots for Big Ed. To the contrary, Ed had to battle with the beet pitchers the opposition could send him. Being the Red Sox Ace, he had to pay the penalty. But It Is some honor to become the Ace of a major league pitching staff the first year and tn so doing.

Ed, at the age of 29, has followed the example of Dazzy Vance who did not make the grade In the big show until he was 29 and had oerformed 10 seasons in the minor leagues. Control, now one of Morris' long suits, was his greatest fault In 1927. "But," says Ed.

NO MORE TWO-BASE BUNTS. 'pHE TWO-BASE bunt for Texas leaguers at Beaumont is going to be wiped out this season with the opening of a new home for the Exporters. In the past few years officials of the Exporters made an effort to corral as many right field hitters as possible doe to the short fence back of the first base station at Magnolia park, and the two-base bunt became popular there. Almost any pop fly to right field went out of the park and was good for two sacks, the distance from home plate to the outer-regions being only 180 feet. Jay Kirke, who pastimed with the Shreveport Sports a few years ago, usually was in his glory in visiting Beaumont.

This year the Exporters will have a brand-new park and a regular playing field and Rube Stuart, the owner, seems to be well on the way to putting a good ball team in the field. He is constructing a plant that represents a $50,000 investment and has spent oodles of coin also in getting players. Clyde Robertson, who will manage the team for Strart, is taking on tried performers in this loop. Since last fall he has bought Denny Burns from Fort Worth, Tink Riviere from San Antonio, and Tom Estell from Wichita Falls. These three hurl-ers have been around for some time.

In addition the Exporters have obtained Outfielder Lyman Lamb from Wichita Falls and Pitcher Walter Newman from San Antonio. Their prize jewel, though, seems to be in Outfielder Paul Easterling from Detroit. Other additions to the Exporters are: Infielder Chapman from San Antonio. Christian, a pitcher from Omaha, and Schemanske, a liurler from Indianapolis. Odom, an infielder from St.

Paul, and Akers, an infielder from the Western league. The Exporters have many others. The grand stand in the Exporters' new park will seat 7,000 while the bleachers will care for 1,000. Beaumont is planning a big time in 1929 and look forward to deal misery to quite few. classes," replied Morris, Sec-s A In three-handed games jrnen two of The players each have a ringer and the third player no ringer, the twolayere having ringers score their shoe while the third player is out of this play, Sc.

You see. I am built like a wrestler on the right side. My right shoulder Is abnormally large.
