THE TAMPA SUNDAY TRIBUNE, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1925. PAGE 7-E RED GRANGE NOW TO NE OOKS GAME HER Red Will Be Offered Recruit at Yank's Pivot Post Amateur Golf King To Play in Tampa HUGGINS TO USE YOUNG RECRUIT AT PIVOT POST a fvinmii iioiw i UW Illinois Grid Flash Is Expected In City Today With Eleven Friday0ight m' Grange Has Ability As Amateur Boxer Says His Coach Young Stribling Weds Macon Girl And Starts East 0 -v l(i Vi a-, K-n Vx Red Grange, who is scheduled to arrive in Tampa this morning, will be made, an offer to appear in ten-round boxing match at Benjamin Field Friday night. This announce-iw ment waa made yesterday by Downing, matchmaker for the 116th-r Field Artillery Athletic association, governing" body In the ring sport in Tampa. The offer wiU stipulate J1.000 compensation for the bout. said, with Joe Lavigne named as the' famous Illinois football star's oppon- 1 ent.

"It has often been said that Grange-1 has unusual ability as an amateuri i' boxer," Downing said last night. "Thev report has even been circulated would like to enter the ring I will give, him-the opportunity to'. break into boxing as soon as he arrives. I will make him a bona fide offer to appear at Banjamin Friday night." Took Boxing Lessons The popuar Tampa matchmaker--then went on to point out that the match would- give Grange a fair chance to get a good start In boxing win or lose. Joe Lavigne, while a good fighter.

Is not a top-notcher, and' Downing does not consider that lt. would be too much of an assignment, for Grange. While in college at Illinois, Grange took quite an interest in boxing, and" appeared in several amateur bouts." He was able to hold his own, Downing considers that If Red really '1 would like to take up boxing he has. an excellent opportunity to start now. Boxing will offer Grange an oppor tunity to continue his athletio ac.tivi-"' ties after the professional football" 1 season closes, Downing pointed out." Should he show any ability as a ring-" man, Grange will undoubtedly prove "ff1 dra.w,nS-card in boxing, and should not lack for matches.

Grange Good Boxer Tony La Zerre, the slugging rookie from Salt Lake City, will open the season as second baseman for the But he will face sterling opposition from Aaron' Ward, If the latter is not traded, or from some other veteran that Huggins intends to buy and have ready in case La Zerre falls down.

K. May Be Good Fighter Is Corning Over Here Was Olympic Contender Palmer and Billy Wells I BY DAMON RUNYON-i By Damon Runycn This Harry Persson, or maybe it Is Pevrson, the heavyweight champion of Sweeden, who is planning a visit to these shores, is by no means what the hoys call a the immediate estimate of a foreign heavy who hasn't been seen in the United States. As a rule the estimate is reasonably accurate, at that. Not many heavies have come to this country from foreign- climes who have amounted to much. 1 But Persson was iu the last Olympic games, in France, a member -of Sweden's boxing and he acquitted himself with considerable distinction.

The American boxers whd saw him speak well of him. He was then just a big, raw fellow, but he had some boxing ability. He has undoubtedly improved since that time, hia recent knockout of Jack Townsend the American negro heavyweight, being an indication of this improvement. Townsenc. is a big, strong fellow, who knows' something about boxing.

He was a noted football player in a New York high school team some years ago. He has been fighting aas'been fighting with some success. in Europe, and he proDabiy had an idea ne couia nowi over Persson without much trouble. That is why I am inclined to think that Persson must have come real ability. The Swedish boxers as a rule are the gamest of game.

I am here speaking of the boxers of Swedish descent, developed in America, for I recall no boxer of any note who came out of Sweden already in the course of development. The game is comparatively new there. However, the sons of Sweden, and of Denmark and Norway, have made plenty of pugilistic history. No greater ringman ever lived than Battling Nelson, called the Durable Dane. He was born in Denmark but did his fighting in America.

Persson has been booked for an appearance at the New York Madison Square Garden some time during the winter. It would be a good thing for the heavyweight division if he should display real ability. Any time you get a foreign invader who looks as if he might be a contender, you stir up interest in the division, which just now could stand plenty of stirring up. The most formidable of the big foreigners who have come ta the United States In late years was undoubtedly Luis Angel Firpo, the now somewhat potty Wild Bull of the Pampas. Next to him was Georges Carpentler, and third in tho list I would rate Ermlnio Spalla, an Italian, was probably a better fighter than he showed in his one Important battle against Gene Tunney, although evert, that night he was making a gallant stand until he sustained a bad cut over one eye.

He was fast, and he nailed Tunney at least one good solid punch that rocked th ex-marine. But Spalla waa never In any sens a championship contender. He was knocked out by the Wild Bull down in the Argentine before he came here. Quentin Romero-Roias. called, for some unknown reason, the Lion of the Anaes, a Dig, strong, tougn leilow, is still plugging away over in this country, but merely as a sort of trial horse.

He is a Chilean, and he never showed much from the time he was knocked out by Floyd Johnson at old Madison Square Garden on the occasion of his first appearance. Another South American heavy who might have been a real sensation had he remained in this country, was Higuel Ferrera, who cams her as one Firpo' sparring mates. Firpo told me that he used to get angry at Ferrera in the gymnasium, and try to slam th youngster around, but that he waa never able to discourage Ferrera. The boy several great fights against opponents of about hia own calibre, then went back to the Argentine, and has remained there since. I would not Be surprised to see him return some day with much of the flourish that marked Firpo's appearance.

However Ferrera had more boxing class than the old Wild Bull. The ubiquitious M. des Camps, manager of Georges Carpentler is bringing Paollna, the Basque Butcher, over this winter, if he can first secure a few matches for Georges to make trip profitable, and Paollna may add to the gaiety of tha big division. He is reputed a stout hitter, but he knows very little about boxing. If my operatives on th other side are to be believed.

doubt If ver a mor spectacular heavy than Bombardier Wells will ever come from the other side, although he was one of th poorest fighters. His battle with big Al Palzer in old Madison Square Garden is accounted a pugilistic classic to this day. Bombardier started as If he would cut poor Al to ribbons, bouncing about in the first round in a manner that astounded the spectators. He had Al flattened out on the floor, but Al got up again, and kept wading into the Bombardier, In the third round he knocked Wells quite bow-legged. The New York ringworms still mention it as the most sensational heavyweight fight tney ever witnessed.

(Copyright 1925, International Feature Service.) Indiana Grid Coach Mentioned for Post With Navy Next Year INDIANAPOLIS. Deo. 38. (AP William (Navy Bill) Ingram, football coach at Indiana University, is a candidate for football coach at th U. S.

Naval Academy, according to a special dispatch from Annapolis to the Indianapolis News. Th dispatch says Jack Owsley, present coach, is not expected to sign a new contract. Ingram Non-committal SN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26. (A.P.) William Ingram, football coach at Indiana University, said today he was not- prepared to discuss a report that he was a candidate for football coach nt the United States Naval Academy.

The Indiana mentor is here with a squad of eastern gridiron stars who played a western aggregation today in a benefit game for the Shrlnera hospital for crippled children. In City it vv Golf Classic Here for February 14 Is Announced The names of Bobby. Jones and Tommy Armour were added to the list of top-notch golfers who will appear In Tampa on the Board of Trada winter sports program this season. This announcement was made last night on the receipt of a telegram from Bobby to Gerald McCarthy, sports director of the Board of Trade. Jones and Armour will come here on the 14th of February for a 36-hole exhibition match with Jim Barnes, British champion, and Johnnie Farrell, stellar golf pro, who will be here tonight to prepart for their heavy schedule of matches in which they will represent Tampa.

Bobby Jones is probably the most sought golfer In the game today and the news that he will appear her in an exhibition will certainly bring- Joy to his host of admirers in Tampa. At tne present time JtsoDDy holds the national amateur championship title and I in considered by experts the best poireron the links at the present time. I Hobby has been a constant thorn in tho side of the professional golfers as well as leader anions th amateurs. Tied MacFarlan In the American open last summer Jones was tied with Willie MacFar-lane at tha finish of the regular 72 holes of medal play and forced the professional to an extra 36 holes before succumbing" the honor when Mac-Farlane finally wrested the championship from the brilliant amateur. Back in 1S22 Bobby started to worry the professionals when he finished one stroke behind Gene Sarazen at Sko-kie.

In 1923 at Inwood he finished in a tie with Bobby Cruikshank and won the title in the play offJ In 1924 and again last summer he won the national amateur championship, but missed the open each time by one stroke. A record such as this over a period of four years makets Bobby today the outstanding: player in the game. Tommy Armour who Is at Sarasota with Bobby will team up with the champion in their Tampa appearance and will complete an excellent team. Armour is an Englishman and came to this country a few years ago to act as resident professional at tha West-chester-Biltlmor country club In New York. Whil haa pot taken any of th major titles In th past few years Armour is always well up and ranks among the leading1 pros of the country.

Jim Barnes and Farrell will have opportunity to get on their game before meeting their heaviest opponents when they te off with Gordon Gibbons and Lawrence Sherrill local amateurs of promise at Temple Terrace next Sunday. Gibbons advanced to the finals of the city championship yesterday and he and Lawrence Sherrill will fight it out in the finals this week. They will then bury the hatchet and team up together In an effort to take two of the greatest professionals in th country Into tow. This is a little more than will expected of them but Tampa golfers say that they will make a match well worth watching. In accordance with th policy decided upon at a meeting of th sports committee of the Board of Trade there will be no admission fee to this or any of the other events on th winter program and a larfre crowd should line tho course next Sunday when the foursome gets away at 2:30.

a Young Stribling And Bride Square Off For Pictures ATLANTA, Deo. 26. (AP) "I have absolutely no objection to my husband fighting in the ring and my sineerest hope is that he will climb to the top of th ladder," said Mrs. William Lawrence here today with her husband enroute to New York and Eastern states on their honeymoon trip. Mrs.

Stribling, who was formerly Miss Clara V. Kinney, of Macon, became the wife of the Georgia champion at noon today in the latter city. Arriving her from Macon In less than two hours, the Striblings alighted from their automobile at a cafeteria where they lunched. As the fighter and his wife entered tha establishment, the orchestra broke Into Mendelsohn's "Wedding March," whil the couple blushed as the diners applauded." When the couple arrived here from Macon they were met by an army of newspaper reporters and photographers, including' movie men. When asked by photographers to give them a pugilistic pose with his bride, Stribling hesitated until his wife told him quickly to "snap into it." "I don't know a thing about hox-Ing," said Mrs.

Stribling, "but if the news boys want to see how I stack up against you, I'm willing to take a chance." The picture was made. Then the Striblings ate, leaving later for New York and the east by train. 1 B03 3V JONES Th Atlanta golfer, holder of th national amateur golf crown, will appsar in Tampa as a member ef a crack foursome on Feb. 14.
