CcrSmbled B\Uiy Schlaifer Didn't Fight. LA BLK RAY ALVIS, hustling little manager of Warnie Smith, welterweight fighter, has writ several of his friends in Omaha trying to explain to them the reason why Morrie Schlaifer wouldn't fight hia man In the main event of a show scheduled for last Friday night at Memphis, Tenn. Schlaifer and his manager. Fat Boyle, If ono is to believe what Al vis writes, refused to fight Smith because they couldn't select their own referee. “Boyle knew Schlaifer was out of condition." write* Alvis, "and for this reason wanted to name Hie ref eree. The club promoter was not willing to let Iloyin run liis show, so canceled tho entire card.” One familiar with Alvis might have believed the above if he had not added the following to his letter: "Warnie Smith can beat Schlaifer and th« latter knows this. That is why he ‘ran’ out of the match. Smith will meet Schlaifer any place, any time on a wlnner-take-all basis." Schlaifer has heat Smith once and probably doesn't fear the Oklahoma City weltpr. Alvis is a shrewd fight manager and if stands a rival man ager in good sfpad to have some thing to say in Hie miming of a ref er ee If lie wants to protect the in terests of his own fighter. . r her K Isn't much ballyhoolng go ing on about the Omaha Buffa loes and their chances for the .19^4 Western league pennant. The Herd is busy Ironing the kinks out of. their arms down at Shreveport, I,a., and occasionally engage the Shreveport team in an exhibition pime. In thesp exhibition contests the Buffaloes have shown the southern fans that they ran hit the ball. The pitching has been good, judging from the box scores, for early sea son games. One of the most pleas ing of all is the news that Art GriggS, Buffalo manager and first hasenmn, bids fair to sWat the horsehidp at a clip well over the 300 mark this coming season. Many baseball fans who are fa miliar with the records of this guy and that guy, nodded their heads v hen the announcement was made that Griggs would manage the Oma ha club. These fans believed Griggs to be too old to cut much of a figure in the hitting column of the Western league this coming season. Jt must he quite a surprise to these fans to pick up the morning newspaper and read where Griggs slaimued o.ut home run, double and single out of four times to bat. Of course, the pitehing might not be the same brand of hurling that Griggs will fare In the middle of ! the season, but a home run's a home run and you can’t get away ti'jim. the fact that .Mr. Griggs still swings a mean bludgeon. Another Buffalo ae expect to see lilt the ball at a merry clip this sea son Is George Hale, catcher. Hale recently joined the Herd after being termed a holdout. We believe Hale to he a gopd hitfer, although a lot of fans seem to think different. Hale, in .our opinion, will be a different Ijale this Seasotf. He didn't train pooperty last year and no one knows it any better than George. Hale says" he has made up his mind to show a few of the human "wolves” that he can catch and bat. .
