New York Athletic Commission Reinstates Mickey Walker, Johnny Dundee
Welter Champ
Partly Agrees
to Meet Shade
Mike McTigue, Upon Agree
ment to Meet Named Op
ponent, Restored to
Good Standing.
NEW \OUK. April 7.—Mickey
Walker, world's welterweight
champion, and Johnny Dundee,
retired featherweight champion, who
have been under suspension by the
New York State Athletic commission
tor some time, were reinstated today.
The ban on Walker, who is expected
to meet llarry Greh, middleweight
litle holder, in a charity bout here in
June, was lifted after Walker had
agreed unconditionally to meet Dave
Shade, Pacific Coast welterweight. It
was tlie champion's failure to box
Shade that led to his suspension last
Oetobcr.
Geo P. Flynn, manager of Shade,
told the commission that Shade was
willing to meet Walker for the welter
weight title despite reports to the ef
fect that Shade now was a middle
weight. The commission informed
’managers of the two principals to
seek promoters for the match.
■'Babe'' Herman, Pacific coast
featherweight, who last week filed a
challenge for a match with Steve
i Kid) Sullivan, then world’s Junior
lightweight champion, was officially
Informed that Sullivan had lost his
i title to Mike BMlertno of Bayonne,
j N'. J., and Herman's certified check
J for S2.500 was returned.
Humbert J. Fugazy, Italian pro
■ moter, asked the commission to sane
| tlon a charity boxing match at I lie
• Polo grounds A. C. June 19 for the
• benefit of the Italian hospital fund.
Fhis request was granted. Fugazy
lias been endeavoring to match
Walker with Harry Greh, world's
•Middleweight champion, for a title
match, but Walker's reinstatement is
contingent upon Ills meeting with
Shade.
Mike MeTigue, world's light-heavy
weight champion, also was reinstated
upon his agreement to box anyone the
commission selects within 6ft dajs.
McTigue was suspended October 21,
1924, for his refusal to accept a chal
lenge tiled by Gene Tunney, American
IJght-hcav.vw eight champion.
■ The commission also sanctioned the
piatrli betw een Tom Gibbons, St. Paul
heavyweight, and Gene Tunney,
American light-heavyweight cham
ftlpn. scheduled for the Polo grounds
on the night of June 12.

[‘WE’LL SOUTHPAW’EM TO DEATH/ SAYS CLARK GRIFFITH OF SENATORS
_•___ }
A .M PA, Fla..
•April 7.—The sea
son of 192-1, in the
American ieagut
at least, lias gone
down in history
as “the year of
the southpaw re
rival.’ But take
the word of Clark
Griffith that, as
far a* the world's
champion Wash,
ington cluh is con
wasn’t “nothin' "
compared to what the coming season
will bo.
“Fast season we had Zachary and
Mogrldge, the two best southpaws in
tlie big leagues, in my opinion,” said
Griffith during a practice session of
the champs.
"If Dutch Ruether and Yean Gregg
come through this coming season
we'll southpaw the American league
to death."
Pass that word along to the seven
iolly managers now engaged In build
ing up something in the nature of a
baseball machine that can check the
Senators In their efforts to hold the
American league pennant.
"Zachary, In my opinion, is the
best southpaw in the business to
day," said Griffith.
"He Knows what he is doing
every minute, lie goes at his work
In that manner. He has just as
much control as any righthander.
“Mogridge is a veteran, blit he
still lias his stuff. He should have
just as good a season this year as
he enjoyed la«t.”
Griffith realizes that Ruether Is a
long gamble. H<* would not hav e con
sented to the signing of the former
Brooklyn, Cub and Red leftie had he
not felt that Manager Hafris could
do something with the erratic one.
Vean Gregg, 40-yoar-old veteran
from the Pacific coast, had not st
rived the day the writer watched the
Senators. As we have said before,
however, if he retains much of the
to a good season.
This may or may not mean any
thing. Dutch has been chasing the
elusive baseball rainbow ever since
he broke in with the Cubs, along
about 1917.
But, leaving Ruether out of it, the
Senators seem set to carry out Grif
fith's warning that they will "louth
paw the American league to death."
So start the funeral dirge early,
wiaardry of that left arm of his, In
cluding the wide sweeping curve he
boasted when with Cleveland 10 years
ago. lie will add a few victories to
the Washington list,
Zachary and Mogridge, iietwccn
them, turned in 31 victories for the
Senators last season. Mogridge won
IS and Zacli 15. The latter, how
ever, lost hut nine games and Mo
gridge was defeated 11 times.
With Seattle llrcgg won 25 and
lost 11 games. Kupther was of little
use to the Brooklyn I lodgers, how
ever. He managed to win eight
games and lost t3. Had he turned
in as good a record for tlie Brook
lyn team as Zachary and Mogridge
did for tlie Senators tlie Ondger
team might have had a look-in in
tlie National league.
Ruether seems satisfied with condi
tions this year—for the first time in
many years. He Is looking forward

ACCORDING to a telegram re
ceived this morning from Bar
ney Burch, owner of the Oma
ha Buffaloes, the Western league
champs will play in Baytown, Tex.,
tomorrow; Houston, April 9, JO, 11
and 12; Fort Worth. April 13. and
Dallas April 14. Wednesday, April
15, is open on the team's exhibition
schedule, hut on Thursday, April 16,
the Herd opens the league season at
Oklahoma City.
Harney says lie expects Harry
Lee to report to the club any lime.
The Buffaloes also exited a pitcher
from the majors within the next
tiiree or four days, .lust who the
new hurler will he Burch says he
doesn't know. Most any pitcher of
ability will he welcomed by Owner
Burch and Manager Griggs.
PRESIDENT AL TEARNEY of
the Western league has pur
chased a handsome trophy to
award the town that has the largest
opening day attendance. The trophy
will become the property of the home
club.
Last year St. Joseph had the larg
est opening day attendance. Omaha
opened the season with the Saints.
In 1923 Omaha opened the season
with Tulsa on the latter’s lot. Tulsa
had the largest opening day attend
ance that year. This season the Buf
faloes and Oklahoma City crack
open the season in the Indians' new
baseball park. Weal tier conditions
permit ting. Omaha and Oklahoma
City should play before one of the
largest opening day crowds in . the
history of the league. The Okla
homa City fans are all "bet tip”
oxer their club’s chances for the
1925 pennant and are ready to haul
down the Tearney trophy for hav
ing the largest opening day attend
ance.
Plans are brewing in this town
for a grand opening of the Western
league season on Wednesday, April
29. Tulsa xxill help the Buffaloes pry
the lid off the baseball season here.
Denver and Omaha are the largest
towns in the league. Lincoln and St.
Joseph are the smallest, yet St. Joseph
had the largest opening day attend
ance last year because th* noon day
clubs and other civic organisations got
out and xxorked for a large opening
day attendance at the ball park. They
got it.
AT'E Hl'DKINS. the Nebraska
lightweight, will get his first big
crack at “real money" tonight
at Vernon, Cal when he fiehts Joe
Benjamin, considered the class of the
California lightweights, in a 10 round
bout.
\ecording to report* received
from tlie coast, the bout xxill attrai-t
the largest eroxrd since the game
was legalised in the state, xxliich
means that Budkin*’ end xxill mean
thousand* of dollar* to him. When
articles xxere signed for the bout
!( ws* *.iid that Hudkin* xvould get
25 p-r cent of the receipt*. It xxa*
estimated then that xxitli a sell-out
\ce xxonld drag down something
like $12,000 for In* part of the enter
tsinment.
Hudklns is practically a newcomer
to the fight game. He hasn't been
fighting as long ns Renjamin. llexvas
a seiniwindnp fighier In Omaha, but
once in California Hudklns blossomed
into a main eventer. He fought in
four or five bouts in Hollywood and
tonight fights Benjamin for the right
to represent California against Sammy
Mandell, Sid Terris and other crack
tnstern lightweights in New York.
Compare Morris Schlaifer and
\ce Hudklns. Bolli .at one time he
longed to the same stable. Schlaifer
ha* been fighting longer than llnd
kin*, hut Morrie li.a* not. and the
chances are he never xxill, get the
money for one fight Dial hi* former
staldemate xxill receixe for hi* bout
xvlfh Benjamin this evening.
Me are for Hudkin* from start
to finish. He took adx .Milage of
opportunity when same slapped him
on the shoulder, and noxx he is
ranked a* the liest lightxxeight on .
the roast, or one of them. Had lie
remained in llm.iha Hudkin* xxonld
still lie fighting semixx indup*. tot
he wasn't a pleasing fighter around
these parts.
The oxl.is are against lludklna to
nlglil. Ace. however, has spilled the
dojxe l>efore and he might do it to
night. We hope lie docs

go at a whirlwind pace that eventu

This season there are two clubs
In the American league that must

are the White Sox and Athletics.
The Sox, on playing form and
paiwr strength, can lie expected to
show little more than they did last
season, lint the presence of Eddie

certainty into the scheme of thing*
that may throw all ideas into the

Tile team this year i* an organ
