With TMS BAT TrtA SCOTT OlO When the Cleveland Indian shortstop position was left vacant by the unfortunate death of Ray Chapman, Tris Speaker looked toward the Eouth and dug up a stocky little fellow by -the name of Joe Sewell and immediately put him Into the game. To fill the shoes of a star of the caliber of Chappie was quite a task to expect of anyone, but Sewell was quick to catch on and there he stuck.

The bitter rivalry existing between these teams is doomed to come to an end Sunday. In ease thft Sportsman submerge the Maywood staff, they will be entitled to claim the City Championship title, and 8,11 the glory connected with a victor WON ONE GAME The Eagles, however, had alread defeated the Sportsman in the earl part of this season and a victory for the team would merely mean that another win is to be chalked up to Its credit.

By severly walloping the' State Street Boosters in last Sunday's fracas the Sportsman have added new impetus to the coming contest. Their triumph over a South Chicago aggregation two weeks hence further brought them encouragement and greater fighting spirit. Maywood Eagles, on the other hand were only able to squeeze a tie out of the Whiting Bearcats. Since the Oil City team held the Thorns to a 0-0 draw, the Eagles feel as though the game was not a total loss. Maywood, nevertheless swept the region with a number of victories and is none the lest reluctant about advancing towards Manager Honey and his Northside crew.

TEAMS IN GOOD CONDITION Reports from both squads inform that neither team has made any major changes in Its lineup since the last conflict. Maywood's bedraggled eleven are in top-notch condition. Aside of contending in -the Hit for the love of the work they will wage their bitter fight to prove their superiority in Hammond. A big football brute by the name of Jaworski, one time performer for the Maywood Boosters will oppose the Eagles, halfback for the Sportsman. Raab, Frlcky, and Rut-kowskl are expected to furnish the fns with a bit of excitement.

Spinelli, Eagles mentor has among his twenty-two warriors men like Szopa, Krol, G. Solea, Bender and Remesnick. If signs aren't deceiving these men will not disappoint the crowds. Since Manager Green and his Hammond Boosters travel to Pullman, the game will be played at Turner Field. The ball is scheduled to fly skyward at 2:00 p.

Since Joining the Indians he has participated in 1,097 games. All but 22 of them being In the last seven years. He is rough on pitchers, and, with the exception of 1922, when he hit .299, has always batted well over the .300 mark. His biggest year was 1923, when he crashed the ball at a .353 clip.

O'RRIEV By DOC REID Twenty-nine years ago today, Billy Whistler of Ireland and Jack O'Brien of New York City, two famous featherweights, met in the ring at Brooklyn, N. in a scheduled 25-round battle that terminated In the twenty-first round when both boys were so badly battered and bruised that the referee was ordered to stop the fray and call It a draw. Two months later the boys met again in another 25-round affair that went the full distance and resulted In a hard-fought draw. PFEIL, HEAD OF U. S.

GOLFERS, DIESINfflEMPHI! MEMPHIS, Dec. 3. Charles O. Pfeil, recently nominated for president of the United States Golf association, died at the Baptist Memorial hospital here last night after several weeks' illness. He was 56 years old.

NATIVE OK IM.IVOIS A native of Illinois, Mr. Pfeil as a boy lived on a fartn. He was born near Jacksonville, April 9, 1871. He studied architecture at Illinois college. Then he furthered his training in offices in Peoria, Chicago and St.

Louis, coming to Memphis in 1903. Architecture, his vocation, claimed enough pf his time but golf was tha big part of his life. Some of the largest and finest buildings of Memphis were designed either individually by Mr. Pfeil or in collaboration with members of his firm. Tall and dsnified, swinging after a well played match, with a firm step and Jaunty air, Mr.

Pfeil was a picturesque figure on the links. Golfers were his boys, his pets and he knew them all.

GAME T3ECORO At the close of the 1927 season, Sewell had played in 783 consecutive games.

He started his long string at the end of the 1922 season, finishing that year with 15 straight, and continued in the following years with 153 in 1923, 153 in 1924. 155 in 1925, 154 In 1326, and 153 lost season. Joe has a lot of baseball years ahead of him in which to equal Scott's record, but whether he has the goods to stick to the pace without a rest is another question.

Star Cage Teams to Battle Tonight at Calumet City Brooks House. Apache five will make their initial appearance on the hardwood floors tonight at Calumet City. The Memorial Tark A.

C. 133-pound team will oppose the Hammondites on the court. Just how strong or how good the Brooks House quintet is remains unknown. Coach Spinelli lias In his custody nine brilliant performers with keen cage eyes and plenty of fighting spirit. PHOSPKCTS Alt GOOD The Memorial Park squad had swept the Calumet region with a score of victories last season.

This year's prospects are none the least harmed. The boys are in top-notch condition and predict a win over the Maywood team. Frank -Abatie, Chatman, Conko, Thomas, White, Miendac. Fignat, Iludak and Fairchild compose the 135-pound team for Brooks House. These lads are all experienced rag-era and display a good brand of craftsmanship when it comes to passing the sphere.

Coach Spinelli has been rounding the boys in shape during the entire week. He was reluctant to excuse the staff from practice, for he feels that the first game will serve as a spur for future conflicts. The outcome of the week's drilling rests on the final score in tonight's game. FIVE POSSESSES TEAMWORK Harmony and spirit is the predominant factor In producing a renowned quintet. If signs aren't de ceiving the boys will wage a battle that will show the good qualities cultivated by the team in strenuous drilling and learning.

Brooks House blew off the lid of the 1927 basketball season last Saturday. The Gingers, major girls' team, brought home1 the bacon. The Apaches likewise seek to bring home a cut of the fat and all the glory connected with a victory.

The Rough-Riders will find Hobart worthy cf being their first opponents, because of the latter's splendid last, season's d. Hobart won a greater percentage of their games last year, and bowing in defeat before such teams as Lowell, Hammond Industrial, Valparaiso, and Roosevelt, but finally at the close of the season proved to be tUa tournament dark horse by to 'finals, losing to Emerson of Oary. Rumors from Hobart lear fact, that the present team Is corn-posed of several veterans, who wel' remember the stinging defeats Roosevelt handed them In the oast, and expect to give the locals first setback. TO TEST STREXiTII Coaches Austin and Till of Roosevelt, have drilled their proteges almost consistently the entire week for this bid test with the Purple and (Jold warriors of Hobart, which will probably determine the actual strength of the Rough-Uiders. With the scras and bumps of football removed, Roosevelt should be in the prime of condition, tonight.

Austin fter much deliberation, decided to resort to his old system for defense, the man-f or-man, and a smooth passing combination for offensive play, which worked so effectively last year. MOCCO AT FORWARD Delia Rocco and "Walker will start at Risnick at the center position, and Sheets and Cavanaugh will play running guard and backguard. respectively. Rucin-ski, Newton, and MeNab, will be called on at any time, to do their share, if it proves to be necessary.

BIG 10 COACHES FORM SEPARATE ORGANIZATION; EECT PHELAN VT If bnd mentors urge iears Shlflv Before New Rules Vtt BeCOme LlieCtlVe Football coaches of the Western Conference, meeting yesterday at Hotel Sherman, decided to form an organization of their own. This new organization, of which Jimmy Phelan of Purdue is president and Glenn Thistleth waite of Wisconsin is secretary, was the most important development of the first of a two-day session of the conference coaches and athletic directors. The football coaches also drew up a few drastic resolutions on the new football rules, amounting to a condemnation of the present system.

YEARS STUDY URGED They urged that the rules com mittee, in the future, give the coaches at least a year's time to, study the annual changes, before the rules become effective. In other words they would have any changes the rules committee may advocate at its next meeting, not be effective until the 1929 season. They asked that the present rules be clarified. The coaches requested the national committee to clarify the rules on the backward or lateral pass, and particularly to be more specific on the rule on loose balls in the end zone or out of bounds. The Notre Dame-Southern California touchback' play was the cause of the debate on the loose ball.

3. When Greek meets Greek they start a restaurant. When Georgia Tech meets Georgia, they start an argument that may finish next week or next year. Georgia Tech will meet Georgia in their annual football game this afternoon. Yes, that: unbeaten and untied Georgia team must go to bat again and this time it is being asked to beat an outfit that never takes a beating from a Georgia eleven without being forced to admit that the latter is strictly the winner.

They don't count moral victories down here. THEY PLAY HARD They play hard, untrammelled football in these parts. The idea is to let the best man win and usually the latter does. The prevailing idea now Is that Georgia is by some odds the best, man in view. In spite of the fact that recent rains have made the field so heavy that the Bulldog's light and frhifty backs undoubtedly will be at something of a disadvantage.

The story of this football game, however, is" the story of a team that can have everything or nothing as the result of one. football game. Georgia's record speaks for Itself in accents loud and long. It can very well take over an excellent arguing concession for the national championship if it beats Tech this afternoon. But if it loses, which seems to be one of the local possibilities Jihat has created some discussion, Georgia not only will blow the national title but the sectional championship as well.

In those circumstances, it Is reasonable to expect that it will be that it doesn't lose Because of the peculiar circumstances surrounding the game, the entire country will have an eye on the result. Georgia having topped off an excellent record by scoring a decision over Yale, which is being done exactly no days In the next seven. Just for the sake of argument. Tech, on the other and opposite hand, has had its troubles. One of them was a defeat at the hands of Notre Dame when the Irish were distinctly in the mood.

Another was a tie with Vanderbilt, which lets the latter In on the showdown whether it belongs or not, which is doubtful. In brief, everything points to a Georgia victory. That being the case, it wouldn't be a remote idea to take the short end on Tech and let the smart boys collect the lump sugar. Certainly no Georgia versus Georgia Tech game is won until one team or the other scores the most points. A good time, by every means, will be had by all.
