ALHAMBRA BALL TEAM WINS Alhambra High's baseball team walked all over Monrovia High yesterday, 17-2. McGnider pitched good ball for Alhambra, allowing the Monrovia batsmen only five hits. The Moors, holders ol the Coast League ball title for the last two years, are out to cop the banner again this year. I 5 i pounds to 102 Vi pounds for Uzcudun. won eight of the ten rounds, with Paulino getting the advantage in only the sixth and seventh stanzas.

The Black Shadow of Los Angeles, as Godfrey was introduced from the ring, had the better of the infighting and his great weight advantage wore out Uzcudun in the closing rounds. Uzcudun flashed his best efforts in the sixth and seventh, when he discovered the ratine of Godfrey's chin with left hooks and overhand rights. In the clinches, though, Paulino was unable to do much to his much heavier opponent. NO KNOCKDOWNS There were no knockdowns and at no time during the bout did either boxer appear in danger of a knockout. A crowd of 40,000 fans, the largest' ever to turn out for a fight lu California, saw the bout.

Promptly at 8:30 o'clock Eddie Gill and Billy Angelo, a pair of middlewelghts, climbed into the ring followed by their seconds. Dan Tobey, the leather-lunged announcer, followed the opening preliminary battlers into the hempen square and through a phone connected with a flock of loud the boys to the record assemblage. CELEBRITIES ATTEND Among the prominent fans gathered around the ringside were the following: Hen Berry. Clyde Bruckman, Barney, Oldmart. Lou Daro, Frank Garbutt, Cliff Herd, Harry Carr.

Harry Greer, who was with Walter Allen, president of the harbor commission; Dustin Farnum, Jack Kearns, George Goldsmith, Otto Sloto, Bob Edgren, Ed Smith, and Harry Smith, who have covered all of the big fights of the. last twenty-five years were also seen In the press row. Mr. "One-Eyed" Connelly, outstanding gate-crasher of the century, sauntered down to the ringside just before the first preliminary and announced to the scribes that he had got in free of charge despite the fact that Si Masters had instructed his large flock of ushers and gate-keepers to be on the lookout for him. Benny Whitman, who refereed the opening bout, gave the boys something new in fight footwear by coming Into the ring shod In a pair of dancing pumps.

Benny evidently thought the boys were going to waltz. Before the first preliminary had started Wrigley Field was packed to the guards by a crowd of fans estimated by Jack Doyle to be (Continued on Page 12, Column 1) WW" I I I A I 7 I OUCe GREAT CATCHEitf Or THE CHICAGO tiJVJ tlAMS CITY l2J3ihJtSi MPN.

Lou Criger was one of the classiest catchers of the old school, always dependable, and a credit to the gam He had a marvelousiy accurate throw to econd, and caught the pitching of such old-timers as Cy Young and Bill Dineen. Johnny KUng of the Cubs is called by many an even greater backstop than Bresanhan. He had everything great catcher needs-brains, brawn and a way with young, green pitchers. He was a "After March Third Two Stores to Serve You' RAY JACOBS QUITS ANGEL CAMP; SEEKS MORE MONEY piif mam AT LAST! after years of experimenting PORTABLE GOLF NET i run iU SALLE jand CAID II LILAC HAVING nourished the notion for several years that Tex Rickard is a smart guy I have had that illusion shattered three times in the past three weeks by three different fight managers, First, it was Jim Dougherty who told me that Rickard is just plain dumb but lucky. Then Al Mayer came along with much the same line, and proved that Tex was outsmarted when he the Godfrey-Uzcudun match get away from New York.

Tnen along popped Billy McCarney, who has an interest in Jack Delaney, one of the heavyweight eliminators. Billy talked last night's match out of Gotham into Jack Doyle's hands, and he tells one on Rickard to Illustrate why he believes Tex is one of the numbskull boys. To get the proper setting one must go back to the Bud Taylor-Frankie Jerome natch In New York several years ago. It was promoted by Rickard and Jerome died from the effect of Taylor's blows in the ring. An incident like that generally sticks In a man's craw.

Since then Rickard has promoted several bouts in which Taylor, the bantamweight champion, has figured.

However, Jacob3 believes that he Is entitled to more money than has been offered him and evidently is going to make a determined effort to make the Angels accede to his demands. There are a couple of ways to figure out in Jacobs's solo hold-out war on the Cherubs, with a decision going to each side, which, unless some of the local fight referees are rendering the verdict, ought to make it a draw.

Since becoming a member the Angels Jake has had plenty of tough luck and I guess he figures he ought to be well paid for the risks he takes while performing on the ball field, Jacobs has had his leg broken twice while sliding and on one occasion he was "beaned" and suffered a broken ear drum. But for these accidents Jacobs probably would be up in the majors now. This angle favors Jacobs for he's no doubt highly disappointed at the way the national pastime has treated him. Still the Angels have their side of the case, too. There probably Is (Conlliineil on 1'nge 12, Column both races by Poly men, for a clean sweep in each.

Jacobs, who started working out at Wrlgley Field last week, is dissatisfied with the contract oITcred him and, after an unsuccessful conference with the Angel boss es, has packed up his baseball togs and left the Angels flat.

Jacobs played a whale. or a game last season and was hitting the ball at a .326 clip when he broke a leg sliding on July 4 and was out of the line-up for the rest of the year. According to Oscar Reichow, business manager of the Angels, Jacobs was given a salary increase over his last year's pay and as far as President Joe Patrick was concerned Ray would "My Thirty Years in Basebaii," chooses Buck Ewing, star catcher of the New wk Giants thirty ago, and Roger Bresnahan on his all-time all-American team.
