Big Time Clubs on
Warpath as Spring
Training Nears End
SAN ANTONIO, ^Texas, March 29.—UP)—New York’s Giants and Pitts
burgh’s Pirates have about decided to be enemies for th erest of the year.
They got together and talked things over yesterday when rain kept them
from playing a ball game and each decided the other would be one of the
most serious obstacles along the road to the National league pennant.
ine Brooklyn Robins hope at
change of scenery will bring a few
changes in their disastrous spring
training season. Hampered by in
juries, they won only two practice
games at Clearwater. Fla. Now
lave moved on to West Palm
on the first leg of their
homeward journey.
Manager Burt Shotton, of the
Philadelphia Nationals, is worried
over Ray Benge's pitching arm.
Benge complained of soreness in
his arm after twirling one inning
against the St. Louis Cardinals on
Tuesday and since then it has
pained him considerably. He prob
ably will not pitch any more until
the regular season opens.
Hassler Comes Through
The Philadelphia Athletics were
packing today in preparation for
the evacuation of the training
camp at Fort Myers. Fla. They
leave tomorrow for Miami, the first
stop on the homeward trek. The
heavy hitting of Joe Hassler is one
of the most encouraging notes in
the camp. He seldom fails to come
through with men on bases.
The rain jinx still pursues the
White Sox. For the third time,
their game with McKinney. Texas,
was postponed because of rain yes
terday. The battle was postponed

Lyford Has 7
Of 11 Cups Of
Willacy County
LYFORD, March 29. — The
Willacy county meet which
closed this week, was a success
in every respect. The county has
been adding to its list of tro
phies until this year there are
11 cups and pictures to be
awarded. Lyford will take 7 of
these. Raymondville 3 and Se
bastian 1.
Lyford captured 265 points,
Raymondville 238 and Sebastian
105. in the meet this week, held
in this city.
until Monday. The Ennis Rail
roaders were to provide opposition
today.
Cubs Beat Tigers
Good pitching is still a rare art
with the Cubs, but their tremen
dous hitting power is winning ball
games. They bunched 11 hits yes
terday to defeat the Detroit Tigers,
9 to 7, at El Paso, making it six
victories out of seven games over
the Harris clan. Detroit slammed
two Cub hurlers, Carlson and Cven
gros, for 15 safeties.
On the first day of the trek
northward, the St. Louis Cardinals
landed the spring championship, if
that means anything, by again
whipping the New York Yankees.
“Old Pete” Alexander gave prom
ise of a big season when he let
the world champions down with
three hits in six innings.
Kilduff To Manage
Alexandria Club of
Cotton States Loop
ALEXANDRIA. La., March 29.—
(fPi—pete Kilduff, second baseman
with Shreveport in the Texas
league last season, today was ap
pointed manager of the Alexandria
Reds of the Cotton States league.
Sam Barnes, for many years a
Texas league player, managed the
Alexandria Reds in 1928 and a part
of 1927. The club, wrought with
internal dissatisfaction, made a
poor showing in the 1928 race. It
had on its roster some of the best
players in the circuit, and sent
Johnny Watwood to the Shreveport
Sports, who later was sold to the
Chicago White Sox. In 1928 the
Shreveport team was connected in
a financial way with the Alexan
dria team.

WALKERFORWIN
Champ of Middleweight*'
Dream to Equal Fitz's Rec
ord Goes on Rocks
By PAUL R. MICKELSON
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
CHICAGO, March 29.— (JP) —
Tommy Loughran, boxer courage
ous, still rules the light heavy
weights of the world.
Throwing up his most formidable
defensive weapon, a straight left
jab, the champ retained his crown
last night by repulsing the heavy
firing middleweight champion,
Mickey Walker, over the 10-round
route in the new $7,000,000 Chicago
stadium.
The battle, strictly one between
a good big man in Loughran and
a mighty little man in Walker, was
fought before 20,000 spectators, who
paid approximately $175,000 to
see it.
Loughran obtained the verdict of
the two judges. Eddie Klein and
Phil Collins. The referee, Davey
Miller, cast his ballot for the chal
lenger, whose dream of equalling
the triple ring title record of the
great Bob Fitzsimmons was shat
tered.
Loughran won because he was a
superb boxer. He waged a run
ning, jabbing fight and belted
Walker with resounding smacks
whenever the New Jersey Bulldog
made his characteristic two fisted
rush. Loughran never had Mickey
in trouble, and was content to pile
up his wide margin by his brilliant
boxing skill.
Walker had but one chance last
night. That was in the fifth
round when he nailed the champ
ion with a terrific right cross to
the jaw. Loughran reeled, his
eyes were glassy and he appeared
to be in pain. Sensing victory, the
Bulldog rushed, aiming his flying
fists at the same spot. But
Loughran, always a smart fighter,
tied him ftp each time, shook the
cobwebs from his brain and stalled
the nearly disastrous round out.
Financially, it was a loss for
Laughran. Under the terms of his
contract, he received 55 per cent
or approximately $67,000. Out of
this, he had to pay Walker $50,000
and $13,000 to Leo Lomskl and
Tuffy Griffiths, who fought a rol
licking 10-round semi-windup
h* ha,d left a gross profit of
but $4,000 for himself, his man
ager and for expenses.

SHREVEPORT, La., March 28—

Heilmann’s Ambition
Win Batting Crown
_ ♦ 1
By VICTOR O. SIDLER
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
PHOENIX, Ari*. March 26.—(£•)—
Idle hopes have no place in Harry
Heilmann’s baseball plans—the big
Detroit Tiger slugger feels he is
bound to take first place honors In
the American league batting race
again.
The 190-pound fence buster now
in spring training here will not be
at his usual outfield post this sea
son. having been delegated to the
busier first base berth, but that
should not keep him from continu
ing the unusual batting record be
gun several years back.
The unusualness of Heilmann’s
record lies in the fact that only
every other year has he been able
to attain the batting pinnacle. Last
season was one of his off years, and
his average, .328, while ranking
high, was exceeded by several.
Heilmann likes playing in the in
Held. and says that the change will
benefit the club.
The big stock man from Detroit
is full of optimism as to the club’s
chances in the coming campaign.
“We have an excellent chance,”
he says. “A great aggregation, a
great manager in ‘Bucky’ Harris,
immeasureable spirit; in fact, every
I thing to make the season a suc
cess. Karris will get all that is
humanly possible from his team.
That he is a great manager no one
doubts. His record for the five
years he has been a pilot is enough
proof of that His clubs have never
finished out of the first division.
"The race will be more open this
season, giving all of the elubs a
better chance. New York, St. Louis,
Philadelphia and Detroit ought to
be the strongest contenders for the
pennant.” j
