Jock Malone, former middleweight COUNTY LEAGUE battler and one of the better known pugs of his day, is said to have had one of the keenest minds the boxing game has ever known. He took a keen delight in outwitting the other guy, both in and out of the ring. Old timers like to tell the following yarn about Malone. He was in Los Angeles years ago during a time when the police depart WE OPEN MAY 2 tensive practice the boys are beginning to look like a football machine. There are several positions to be filled on the 1937 team and spring practice has given Coach Hopke an opportunity to observe the boys in action and get a line on what he can expect out of them next fall.

Clint Murphy is the only returning backfield regular from the 1936 team. Returning linesmen include Bob Mick, Mervin Hickerson and Irish Ross. There is no doubt but what Clint Murphy will be a certain starter next year and gives promise of being an outstanding performer next fall. Bill Ross, who has been working as quarterback or blocking back position, is moving along rapidly and gives promise of developing into a certain and deadly tackier. Jack Tipton, Harold Hinchey and Chester Stephan are rounding into form as backfield men and will give a good account of themselves at all times, and Charles McCoy has been pushing these boys for a backfield berth on the starting team.

In the line, L. Crawford, B. Pierce and Gerald Hargrove have showed the most promise at ends, with E. Murphy giving them plenty of competition and indicating that things may be different next fall. Bob' Mick and Harry May have the inside track on the tackle posts, but P.

W. Ross is putting up a good scrap for one of the positions. Mervin Hickerson and Irish Ross are leading the parade for the two guard positions, with P. W. Ross alternating between tackle and guard positions, getting the hang of both.

P. W. has indicated that he will be a valuable player to have around in case he doesn't win a regular berth. Joe Tipton has been holding down the pivot position and is doing a nice job, with Mervin Hickerson and Clinton Cunningham, also working at the center post. Mervin is a smart youngster and what he lacks in weight he makes up in fight.

He had had a fling at the pivot position last season and did a nice job when called on, but next year he will more than likely be used at guard. Coach Hopke is loud in his praise of the manner in which the boys have been working and states that the youngsters have shown the finest spirit and cooperation of any squad of the past several years. This spirit, if kept up next fall, will carry them far and off-set their lack of experience, age and size. There are some eighth graders, freshmen and sophomores, who, when given another year's growth and a season's experience, will be the boys to carry on for the Tigers. Four Teams Represented at Sunday Meeting.

Another Meeting Friday at Austinville ment was making one of its period ners of the second half last year, at Jonesboro. Manager Harrison Wickel reported Sunday to Springfield, where the St. Louis Cardinal organization is holding one of the several large concentration spring training camps for youngsters who have had no previous league experience. According to news reports from that section, there are about 300youngsters in training at Springfield. Manager Wickel is assisting in coaching these youngsters and from this' group he will select players for the 1937 Pilots.

Manager Wickel will arrive here shortly before April 22 to start spring training here April 22. That will give Wickel two weeks to select his team for the opening game on May 6. The fact that two members of last year's Pilots are returning and that Manager Wickel will be bringing a number of players selected at the Springfield training base does not mean that other boys in this district will not get a chance to try out with the Pilots. We are informed by local club officials that any boy who believes he can win a place on the team will be given that chance. No contracts are being tendered to local boys trying out during the training camp period.

Any boys selected by Manager Wick ic drives on vagrants. Jock is said 1 to have looked the part, since he could never be made to wear anything but a cap. He was picked up by a couple of blue coats who de ft 1 Managers of four county baseball teams were present at the meeting held Sunday afternoon and definite plans were made for organization of manded to know who he was.

Other' communities in the county have expressed a desire to enter the league and it is possible that two more teams will be added to the schedule. Another meeting of the teams has information.

Replied Jock as he tapped both of his ears with his fingers: "Well, Judge, didn't get these playing pool!" been called for Friday night, April 16 at Jesse Johnson's store on Highway 61 and in case any team wishes to be in the league this season, el will then be offered a contract.

During the first 20 days of the season each club is permitted to carry two extra players, giving each club, if they so wish, the right to have 16 players on the roster. Last season the team limit was 13, but this was raised at a meeting early this spring. Likewise the league monthly salary limit was raised from $817.50 to $900. H. W.

We know it is a real pleasure for him to see these youngsters exhibit so much pep and enthusiasm. Coach Hopke will close spring football practice Friday of next week with a game between the present squad and a team made up of Seniors. The time of the quarters has not been settled but will likely be 8 or 10 minute quarters instead of the regulation 12-minute quarters, Bince the Seniors are not in shape.
