Los Angeles Evening Post-Record from Los Angeles, California • 13

1 THURSDAY MARCH 5 1931 THE LOS ANGELES RECORD 15 ACKED HOUSE SEES DON GEORGE KEEP TITLE i ANGELS DUE TO GET PITCHING HELP III Immh Lewis Beats Henri THREE HURLERS BRUSHING UP SPORTS By Laufer In Straight Falls THERE is entirely too much haste about this yearning for a re-match being evidenced by the Newsboy By ART DALY GEORGE proved that he is still entitled to wear the crown as king of the touring troupe of pachydermic performers by defeating Everette Marshall in two out of three falls before a capacity house at the Olympia auditorium last night ii Ayvv -I'V -mmmm wm A Brown-Speedy Dado forces Some few rumblings are still in the air that everything was not all as it should be in Tuesday affair Yet in spite of the queer happenings of the evening another bout between the two is being sought That last tilt was their third Three is plenty for awhile it seems to me If we are to be dished the spectacle of David Brown-Montrose and Deoasado Dado-Pesado engaging in fisticuffs every other fortnight or so boxing interests certainly must take another decline As has been said the heat is not entirely off either Just why a lot of knockout bets were iftade on Brown at the last fefuinute is a question not readily answered Dado was far from the flashy and sturdy boxer of three weeks before He looked scared to death after a couple of belts Possibly he knew what was might well have known the outcome even before entering the ring This is not an attempt to charge connivance conspiracy or fenegling against any of the principals Brown or Dado or their respective managers Emmett Ledwith and Jesus Cortez No matter how highly these gentlemen are regarded in and out of their vocationsthe fact remains that ugly talk is circulating The boxing commission meeting here today might well delve into the possibility that Dado took an out claiming a foul to lessen the stigma But whatever the outcome not be saddled with another match until these two meet some other opponents The thing is likely to become a habit The match billed as a championship affair attracted more patrons through the Olympic turnstiles than any athletic exhibition in recent months The house grossed well over $30-000 with thousands of would-b spectators turned away due to lack of seating space George experienced more difficulty in disposing of the young Colorado strong boy than of any grappler in his title bouts to date Everette extended the- champion to the limit and taking the match as a whole looked even more spectacular and clever than his vaunted opponent George won the first fall after 29:50 of rough sensational grappling The champion used a combination body cross scissors and arm lock to turn the trick FORCED ACTION 4 I A DEMPSEY AN ADDED STAR Olympic auditorium scarcely gets the smoke cleared away from one gigantic than another heaves into sight Tuesday and Wednesday nights having passed the janitors are looking with regrets toward the coming Til-den-Kozeluh engagement Saturday Everything else is overshadowed for the moment by the Les Kennedy-Paolino Uzcudun fight next Tuesday night Jack Dempsey for $3000 may referee the match Lou Brix handling Uzcudun here figures that Dempsey will draw out all the fans uninterested In even such a good brawl as that prom-ised for Tuesday Reports of abilities as a third man in the ring have been meager The only extensive comment was delivered when he pulled a boner something that might happen to any referee and usually does Brix maintains that Dempsey Is one of the best at the difficult refereeing game He moves rapidly keeps the men apart and best of all makes them fight The Manassa Mauler by the way arrived today on the train carrying the Tilden-Kozeluh party nve UMlTfe Set PilcPERS PARADED 75 TwE MOOMD AtfDTUfceu) "TRElC 5 PRACTICE BAUS BEFORE ED CDOLp COME -15 the Rescue- FIELDER JONES as manager of the White Sox was responsible for BASEBALL'S IGGEST at Chicago in 1906 when the Sox were winning the pennant Jones OKI CD sent his star Ptcher Ed Walsh to the club house in the eighth inning LJIN tK3 telling him he was to pitch the following day It then seemed Chicago had the game in hand But the visitors rallied and Jones finally sent for Walsh Ed was under the showers Rules then permitted a manager to change pitchers at his discretion and let each pitcher throw five warm-up balls Jones made five pitching substitutions while Walsh was hurriedly dressing Each pitcher threw his five balls and used all the time possible Walsh appeared as the sixth pitcher of the inning and struck out the batter to end the rally That parade of pitchers caused the rule to be changed to its present form the rule that when a pitcher is substituted he has to pitch until the batsman either is retired or reaches first base In an important game MAY LEAVE CUBS Lelivelt Hopes Island Game Sunday Will Bolster Seraphs QUR pennant aspiring An- gels sorely in need of pitching help may find their week-end trip to Catalina Island more

Lacking In Sales Leon See Camera Pilot Complains of Rib Injury By JOE COPFS MIAMI Fla Mar 1 i Camera giant Italian boxer and Jimmy Maloney Boston were to have their second meeting here tonight in a 10-round contest which is of tremendous importance to each other if not to the customers More Important than their former meeting in home town the bout rises to unusual interest in view of Camera's promised meeting with the victor in the Schmeling-Stribling title battle in June and the determination of the Boston Irishman to slug his opponent out of the title shot to place himself for the first time on the threshold of the heavyweight throne Camera is not satisfied with the Boston decision against him Maloney is certain that he won cleanly In his local bailiwick This Miami bout was brewed before the giant Italian was promised a chance agaipst the existing heavyweight champion late in the summer The gate is admittedly not coming up to expectation although Frank Bruen on his first promotion Is hopeful that last minute Interest will swell the treasury Rumors that Camera is attempting to use the injury to his 10th rib to walk out menaced the ticket sale but Bruen held to his guns and Insisted upon going through with his promised show Leon See foreign manager and spokesman for Camera feebly complaining about sending his into the fray with an ailing rib says that Camera will go into the bout determined to end matters before the fifth MANAGING a major league ball club might be considered something new for me but my personal opinion is that it will be easier than piloting a minor league club at which I have had no little experience I am tackling this Red Sox proposition knowing that baseball whether it be major or minor is played much the same everywhere I am fortunate In having played -f on some of the greatest teams In Stevens who showed Tuesday at the Olympic against Benny Pelz has figured in two recent after- the-bell sluggings Stevens belted Young Nino several times between rounds Friday Tuesday he found out how it feels Bobby Jones wear makeup when he is for the first time (for pay) Monday and be no grease on his hair either he makes daily telephone calls to Atlanta Georgia inquiring after the health of daughter Roberta his salary must be pretty good to stand that strain Schooner and Up will be favored in Agua Callente Derby cut this year to a mile and a sixteenth but class in the field Daneri is not so dusty Frankie Coltiletti will be aboard Sun stablemate Sun Thorne San Clemente Is worth watching a great race is promised Not So Hard Our outfield Is not at all bad My big job as I see It Is to whip an Infield into shape that will eventually be of major league caliber HUSTLING INFIELD I know very little about Sweeney but I am told that he is an aggressive hustling first baseman one who likes tn win At secona base we have Marvin Olson who is most highly touted I am told that when Regan was hurt last fall Bob Reeves played second as good as any player at that position In Warstler and Rhyne we have two of the best fielding shortstops In anybody's league It would heLp a lot of course if either of them would bear down a little more on the hitting Third base presents a problem For this position we have Otis Miller and A1 Marquardt who was pur-chased from Nashville We also will try to make a finished third baseman out of Rothrock who has had some experience 'at the position NEW STUFF Wiley Moore and Brill-heart drafted from St Paul and Minneapolis n-d dly will help our pitching Brlllheart is a left-hander Besides Oliver Webb and Scarrltt we have oufielders McSwain purchased from Mobile Van Camp purchased from Des Moines where he was with me In 1930 Gene Rye a reputed hard-hltter purchased from Waco Tex Cedric Durst and Tom Winsett THE MANAGERIAL YELL 7VTEETING here to-day the athletic commission hoped to be able to announce that its new rules would all be in force from now on Delay in printing the books however will postpone this important event for awhile No sooner did the commission make known its intention of seeing that purses to fighters were split one-third two-thirds than the howl went up Robert Edgren caught most of the grief having authorized the changes Mostly the complainants asserted that fighters would not payoff for expenses etc Edgren listened carefully and stuck by his original idea Gone are the days of for which the manager collected just about all the purse and such money-making financial anglings If the managers have more than a one-third cut coming now have totake the matter up with the commission should the fighter refuse to kick in And it will be just too bad If they deliver an honest accounting the American league teams won pennants and championships With that sort of background I ought to have a fairly good Idea of what to expect from major lea gue players Five experience in the management of minor league teams has given me an Insight In the handling and velopment of young players I expect this to assist me a lot in working with tho Red Sox With all the older players on the Red Sox team I am fairly well acquainted but by taking the youngsters to Pensacola 10 days In advance of the regulars I expect to pick up some pointers on them that will enable me to decide what has to he done to bring them up to American league requirements GOOD PITCHERS there has not been that Thus far there has not been a writer nor any baseball man that I have spoken with who has not told me we have as good If not a better pitching staff than any club in the' league If that Is true It means considerable to us Personally I think MacFayden Morris Durham Gaston and Russell are fine pitchers In so far as our catching is concerned Charley Berry Muddy Ruel and Ed Connolly will compare favorably with any of the catching staffs Aside from these three we have two young catchers who might show more than we expect Boxing Board Meets Famous SINGING WAITERS chorus under the
