State Athletic association wants the Schmeling-Stribling heavyweight championship fight for Chicago the Chicago Stadium comporation wants it for Chicago and George Geis associate of the it Tex Rickard in the promotion of the Tunney-Dempsey battle apparently feels the same way The efforts of all three appear to be accomplishing nothing but chasing the fight right away from Chicago The stadium took the initiative in et tempting to bring the bout to Soldier field by offering Schmeling the title holder $500000 to meet Stribling in Chicago The Madison Square Oar den corporation end the New York milk fund bad Scbmeling tied up and stipulated that the latter charity 'should benefit regardless of where the fight was held It appeared that the Garden might mesent the attraction in Soldier field

Of the Chattanooga Tepcos who saw the Birmingham Reds in action against the Celtics last week the southern champions are in for their hardest game of the season agaixtet a Dixie foe here tonight The Tepcos are scheduled to meet the Reds in the feature gams of a double-header at the Memorial the first game getting under way at 7:80 o'clock Incidentally the Initial fray on the card will mark the debut of the Tail lites an all-star team of former Tepee players featuring such- players as Roy Morphew Bury Cate 'enter Hackett Coe and others The Tail-Lites will play the Summerffeld Baptista at least they'll appear against this organhxUm Indications are that there will be more showmanship than basketball ability exhibited by the so-called exTepcos At any rate it will be show well worth seeing The Birmingham Reds have an all-pro team featuring Ben Chapman the Yankee second baseman and Dewey Byrd Yankee outfielder In addition they are managed by none other than Peter Sarron one of the country's leading Junior lightweights Around Chapman and Byrd are grouped numerous players whose ity on the hardwood has long since been proven Slick Vincent last year with the Earle Cardinals Skeebie Caldwell Johnny Cirill Elam -Iturrts Eddie-man and other who starred with the Birmingham Boys' club will make their appearance Redd is convinced that the invaders poeoess the ability to give the Tepcos their hardest game of the season at the hands of a southern foe He is more confident than ever that the outcozne of the game will depend entirely upon the frame of mind in which the 'I'epcos enter the fray If they go in feeling that they aro enough to win they'll probably get knocked off on the other band if they enter the fray realizing that it will take their best they can come through- The Birmingham Boys' club with practically the same line-up that will appear here tonight banded the Tepcos a disastrous defeat here In 1929 and have always given the locals a hard eght Tonight's game will be nct exception With the addition of such players as "Slick'' Vincent they compare with the best Although this is their second engagement since the appearance of the world champion Celtics tonight's engagement will afford fans their first opportunity to see the southern champions matched with a real contender The Kansas Tornadoes were easy pickings for the 'I'epcos but such will not be the case when the Reds go into action here tonight It will be a close hard-fought game and incidentally a game that local court followers cannot afford to Dou ni and atilt the a hard Dine echo ture

whereby the fighters will be paid in accordance with their drawing power at the gate The better the show Tuesday night the larger their purses In othr words It all depends on thoee appearing on the card Heretofore boxing has been a losing proposition as several local promoters much to their sorrow retain Under the present arrangement however it should be a different story Tuesday night's card may not feature the best lighters In the country but patrons are promised an evening of real action which after all Is as much as they expect The bouts will be run off In rapid-lire fashion assuring no loss of time In the future better known fIghters will be imported but before mach can be done local followers ot the sport must show a willingness to patronize the events It takes big money to handle rag fighters but it the public via aupport 'sin they will be brought In and In the near future at that The cage star shown above really needs no Introduction to Chattanooga haaketball fans but in calm there are those whose memories might be bad we might mention that he is none other than "Slick" Vincent well-known southern conference star who appeared with the Earle Cardinals here last year Vincent is shown above in the Cardinal uniform Tonight Vincent invades Chattanooga with the Birmingham pro team and from all indications the Tepcos face their hardest game of the season again a southern foe The Tail-Lites composed of ex-Tepco stars will make their debut in the curtain-raiser at 7:30 o'clock Sidney Stots president of the Chicago Stadium corporation asked Gen John Clinnin chairman of the Ilinois athletic commission for a flat statement of the commission's stand on the proposition and particularly on the position of George Geta a member of the commission who yea said to favor having the Madison Square Garden promote the fight here Gen Clinnin in his reply said the corn mission is eager to have the fight in Chicago but denied that the body has any interest in having the Madison Square Garden corporation promote It Be also said that Mr Get so far as ha knows has not attempted to arrange with the Garden to promote the fight in Chicago and that even it he bad his actions would not be binding on the commission Joe Engel will have to trade several Lookouts for turkeys if he thinks he can feed Southern sports writers on turkey meat One turkey never would furnish 'enough meat for the Dixie crop producers Why Blinkey Horn and Morgan Blake could dispose of one lust think how far one turkey would go with twenty-five Leo's It wouldn't "The Chattanooga owner sold Johnny Jones to the Charlotte club for a twenty-five-pound turkey And now he has invited the southern baseball writers to eat not talk turkey with him in Chattanooga on Washington's birthday "Joel Engel the perfect host must promise more than one this turkey coming from Charlotte must not be es tough a bird as Johnny Jones the showman shortstop The boys' molars are not what they once were Now take Ed Danforth's molars it is understood that a certain dentist Is going to take them back "Engel will receive plenty of acceptances to his generous not until after the boys have gotten over the shock of being offered something free by a club owner Trading ball players for animals is nothing new but trading one for a turkey is Hopper the umpire was once traded fora bird dog And the bird dog got so wrought up he bit a whale "Wonder -what the turkey will say about being traded for Johnny Jones? Good thing it wasn't a parrot "Joe Engel is the owner who filled his grandstand with canaries The birds did a 'right good job 04 chirping until one day they chirped out of turn while the Lookouts were losing a ball game roul language and not fouled balls killed the canaries" Clark Griffith and the official personnel-of the Washington baseball club will leave the Capital city Wednesday for Biloxi
