EL PASO HERALD February 1929, Week-End Bengals Out To Even Count With Hornets Tonight LOCAL 25 QUINT LOSES TO 20 THRILLER gEATEN in their first game by a score of 25 to 20, El Paso high schoors Bounding Bengals will attempt to even the count with the Athens Hornets tonight when the two quintets close their two-game series at Liberty hall, starting at 8:00. Faced by the strongest high school team that has ever invaded El Paso, the Tigers fought a great hill battle that carried them within five points of victory. A nine-point lead taken by the Hornets in the first half proved too big to overcome, but the Bengals kept going at top speed until the final whistle ended the game. 1 he cohorts of coach Ed Olle started out with a rush, holding the invaders to a one-point lead in the first quarter, 7-6. In the second quarter the Hornets began finding the Tiger goal and the half found them leading, 17 to 8.

The Tigers rallied their forces in the third quarter and began to cut down the huge Hornet lead, point by point. The Tiger rally was cut short in the final period wiicn Bob Tompkins, Doc Sumner and Buster Brannon broke through with six points. Capt. Bill Sullivan and Gene Francis turned in brilliant games for the Tigers, with the rest of the line-up showing up well at times. Coach Jimmie Kitts presented a line-up of six-footers.

Only one player in the entire squad is under the six-foot mark. The largest crowd that has ever packed Liberty hall saw the game and another big attendance is looked for tonight.

the ealm Byron J. Schoeman Fields Wins From Gans In Gotham Los Angeles Boy Is Now Leading Welterweight Contender. SQUARE GARDEN, N. Feb. 16 every round, Jackie Fields, Los Angeles welterweight, hammered out a decisive victory over Baby Joe Gans, California negro, in a ten-round bout here last night before a crowd of 15,000.

Fields weighed Gans 140. Gans Almost Out. Fields had ans all but out several times during the fight but could not deliver the finishing punch. A right to the jaw near the end of the third round almost toppled Gans who walked to his corner after the round weak and groggy. Blood streamed from the mouth and nose in the late rounds.

After a furious attack in the first round, Gans was weakened by sharp left hooks to the head and body and clinched and held throughout the last five rounds. In the first round Gans opened a slight cut over the Los Angeles left eye, the apparent damage Fields had suffered during the fight. No Knockdowns. There were no knockdowns, although it seemed that Gans was ready to go several times. Fields lacked a finishing punch.

The first three rounds were fought at a terrific pace, with both fighters standing shoulder to shoulder, heads bent low, trading blow for blow- Gans was always the first to weaken under pressure. Weakened under barrage of blows in the early rounds, Gans was barely able to finish the fight on his feet. Fields, who was quoted a 3 to 1 favorite before the fight, the odds offered on him and came out of the battle as the leading contender for Joe welterweight crown.

The above plan, of course, is just one of many and merely a suggestion. Then if one or more boys are produced as having the right stuff in them and if the fans learn to like their style of fighting, bring I in some of the outside fellows and try to build our local bo.xers up to amount to something. Pinky Urquidi is at the present time the only loical favorite we have and this is really pathetic to state, in as good a fight town as this. Something should be done about the local situation at once, for the fight busrs of this city would welcome and support some new face or faces among the local clan that could really scrap and not just loaf I through their engagements as they have in the past. WDI LD STIMl LATK INTEREST Holding an all-local show once a month with the survivors in each respective class promised some good outside talent for their opponents would certainly stimulate interest among the local pugilistic colony and perhaps wake some of them up and get them out of their shell or whatever it is they go into in some of their stalling matches around mer often mentioned Eddie's name in them in telling of his early athletic experiences here In El Pasc.

When his 10- man idea failed to be put over at the recent joint meeting of the major leagues, there were no wailings, though he said the idea might be accepted in due time.

This 10-man idea xvas to have an extra man in the game to bat for the pitcher and to remain in the game regardless how many times the pitcher was changed, that is providing the manager decide to remove this batter-for-the-pitcher in favor of some one else. Certain National league managers announced that they would try out the idea on their own hook during the exhibition game season. Last week president Heydler asked that this not be done. He said if the pitchers are to be used as hitters during the regular season it was only fair that they be given a chance to bat in the spring.

Charley is one Indian fixture who is hard to replace. He has been at his work in the left garden for about 11 years, gathering in fly balls, easy and hard ones alike. During most of these years he was known as one of the best in the game.

It is more than a possibility that this idea will at least be tried out in due course of time and eventually used, for some of the old- timers be amazed if they could rise from their graves and view the jjame as it is played today in comparison to the early 90's. Why, even we can recall numerous changes in the great sport during the last 15 years. For one thing it certainly brighten up the game and make it more interesting when this hittcr- for-the-pitcher came up with men on and two out. As it now stands there is a five to one shot the pitcher is thrown out. Of course there are some great hitters among the hurlers and others who get the needed hits in a pinch.

Jones recently spoke on the hold. college youths whom I was instructing in the gentle art of massaging ears and what nots, endeavored to use this hold on their opponents. They had watched me flop the big boys on the college team by it and they thought they would try it out on their wrestling partners.

The result was a broken wrist for each of their opponents. Since then I would not allow it used there nor have I ever taught any other wrestler the grip. rather dangerous According to Jones, when the grip is applied, the to either respond to the twist or have a broken wrist as the result. have also discovered a counter for this hold but naturally I am keeping this to said Jones. Full Nelson Also Dangerous.

The full Nelson as used by Waters Is equally as dangerous. more so, inasmuch as a neck may be easily broken by the hold if the proper leverage is obtained. One disadvantage of the hold as applied by Teddy is many counters. The full Nelson is one of the ancient wrestling holds and naturally many counters have been figured out in protection against same. Both wrestlers two of the flashiest mat men to ever appear here and the match Is attracting a great deal of attention among the local wrestling colony.

The semifinal is also coming in for share of comment, it bringing the two local favorites and crowd pleasers.

LEO LOMSKI HANDED WIN OVER GRIFFITH DETROIT, Feb. 16 Sioux City, Iowa, today holds over Leo Lomski, acknowledged ai light heavyweight championship, as tie in the Olympia arena last night. The verdict of Elmer McClelland, the referee, went to Lomski, but the cheers of 14,000 spectators went to Griffith.

The decision, proclaiming Lomski the winner, was loudly and persistently booed. Besides the tumult of jeers, there was a shower of papers and programs from the gallery. A majority of the spectators thought Griffith was entitled to the decision and they gave him one by acclamation. The spectators hooted McClelland from the ring in expressing their disapproval. ring observers agreed today that the battle was so close that it could have been awarded to either man.

McClelland figured that Lomski, the from Aberdeen, won the last three rounds by a conclusive margin and therefore was entitled to the verdict. times Griffith outboxed the contender from the Pacific coast.
