Louis la about as funny as an undertaker or as u-tloner about to pull the switch In the death chamber. There was a time, though, when a well as white ones, could provide a laugh as well as a good fight. These comicalities no longer abound, however. A paiij or heavy seriousness has hung over Cauliflower for some time.

There have been practically no contributions to the humorous literature of the ring since the gold-filled smile of Jack Johnson and the good humored but deadly presence of Sam Lang-ford. Baer was a gay, clownish fellow but hla antics annoyed rather than amused the clients. You have to go back Into the past for funny fight stories and the arenlc types that provoked them, barring some of the bewildering orations of Klngflsh Levlnsky. Some of these, doubtless were the output of professional gagsters, still many of them, and the funniest, were founded upon fact. Lang-ford was a very funny fellow and my prize story Is one he told me long after he had quit the ring.

Allentown Lands Jeanerette, As a Farm Club Ai.i By JAMES J. MURPHY Throwing back his shoulders In a swivel chair like a dignified executive in a Wall Street banking firm, John Gorman, business manager, yesterday declared that the Brooklyn club had a sweet announcement to make. "The Dodgers are in the sugar," declared the recently appointed successor to Bob Quinn. Forgetting for the moment that he was In the down- town chambers of the Dodgers, the writer was under the Impression that he was dealing with the Boston Bees with such honeyed words flowing. As Gorman's posture was synonymous with a big money mag-1 board of truteea, Tony Anxious For Early Start In Yank Camp Harm' to Co anil Leaves San Francisco With Crosetti Saturday Push 'em up, Tony Lazzerl from Cow Hollow, he's a mad.

He's so excit' he feels like imitating the fellah who ate so much spaghet and became so strong he squeeze a bowling ball into sawdust. And all because the Hot Stove Leaguers relegated Tony to the "has been" class and speculated on his successor as second baseman of the New York Yankees. In order to rivet job like he used to do with boilers before he took up baseball, Tony has asked for and received permission along with his fellow countryman, Frank Crosetti, to report with the first squad that mobilizes In St. Petersburg, Fla, on March 1. Cross-Country Motor Jaunt Lazzerl and Crosetti will leave by motorcar from San Francisco on Saturday and make the cross continent Journey in leisure stops.

Both report themselves in fine physical condition and ready to en- Joy the best year of their major league careers, crosetti is a problem, as he had a maimed knee operated on which was the reason for his receiving a conditioned contract calling for $1 until he proves his worth. Tony, although only 32, showed signs of the wear and tear of warfare last season. He dismisses the slump and charges it to Just another bad year. Roy Johnson Also Signs Lazzeri spurned the first contract, which called for a big cut, but accepted and returned the second one calling for a more substantial in crease over the salary originally stipulated. It arrived in the Yankee offices yesterday along with that of Outfielder Roy Johnson, who was acquired in a deal with the Washington Senators after he had been shunted to the Capital City in a previous trade with the Boston Red Sox.

Bran nick Makes Denial Eddie Brannick, newly appointed secretary of the New York Giants, emphatically denied yesterday that Horace Stoneham, president of the club, had purchased the release of Jim Bottomley, veteran first baseman of the Cincinnati Reds, to serve as an understudy to Manager Bill Terry. Brannick did admit, however, that Public Enemy No. 1 of the Giants is in the fold. He is Bill Koufield, past exalted ruler of the Brooklyn Elks, who is also known as Loyal Dodger Rooter No. 1.

Bill was the first to get his application in for tickets for the opening game of the season between the Giants and Dodgers at the Polo Grounds. Koufield assured Eddie that Van Mungo would put It all over Hal Schumacher on that occasion, whereupon Eddie offered the rejoinder that the club would cross the grandstand manager by sending Carl Hubbell to the curving peak. Bill's loyalty to the Dodgers has cost him plenty, as his wagers on the outcome of the games between the two clubs is reported to have set him back In the neighborhood of $50,000 the past two years. MURPHY. Just Like m-mr i ei m- r- mm 20 NEW When They Mixed Ovrf or Crescent Team Upset on Court By 7th Regt.

Relegated to 6th Place in League Standing Through 4127 Score Not omy chalking up Its first win of the season but doing so with three of the regulars out of the lineup was the accomplishment of the 7th Regiment five last night against the Crescent Club quintet on the loser's court. The silk stocking boys from New York, who are in last place in the Eastern Athletic Club Basketball League, were more surprised than the spectators in winning by the convincing score of 41 to 27. Their three high scorers, Pingaron, Devins and Beaghen, being out of play, they had very little hope of taking the game. Ed Happy Horan, a sub, who hadn't played more than five minutes in any game all season, stepped out like a Horatio Alger hero and garnered four baskets and made a foul good for a total of 9 points. This tally added to the scoring of Chick Duncan and George Seewagen, who totaled 18 points between them, presents a birdseye view of how the wind blew.

Crescents in Sixth Place While the 7th Regiment team still remain in last place, they dropped the Crescent five down to sixth place, swapping places with the Montclair A. C. Jim Travers of the Crescents stood out as the only player on his (Continued on Page 21) a Woman years ago back in her old home town, Sioux City Iowa.

MOVING ON TOWARD I FEET Here's another candidate for the "tallest center in basketball club." Harry Shelton of the Hamilton, Golden Flashes, stands 7 feet 1 3 Inches. So far he's tops In the league.

The "sucker" understood this, but Sam went so lightly thst the pushover became fascinated with his own showing. He graduaUy deveiopea the idea that he could Deal bam on the level. The bout was sched uled for eieht rounds and in the sixth the "sucker" decided to make his bid for fame and fortune. Catching Sam off guard he let one go with what he thought carried knockout voltage. The wallop shook Sam up, made him blink and, what was worse, think.

When they came out for the seventh round Sam offered his hand for the handshake that goes with the final round. "Dis aint duh aith roun', Sam," explained the sucker, Jusl a bit apprehensive. "Ah know," returned Sam. "DEY AINT GUNNA BE NO AITH ROUN'. And there wasn't.

Gibson's Gem BILLY GIBSON used to spring a good one about a preliminary kid who fought for him in his old Fairmount Club. This hombre took an awful whaling and at the end of the third round declared he had absorbed enough. "Aintcha gunna fight any screamed his pilot. "Sure I am," countered the hammered one. "But not any more TONIGHT!" One of the best of the old-time yarns, whether authentic or not, had to do with the great Peter Jackson the colored fellow John L.

Sullivan sidestepped and a nondescript blackamoor gladiator whom we shall call Joe Blow. It was not a refular fight, being advertised as "a scientific exhibition of boxing by Peter Jackson." It was with this understanding that Blow accepted his role. Jackson kept his word. There was nothing smacking of knockout force in his punches. But for some reason Peter concentrated his science on Joe's nose.

Every punch he let go found Impact on Blow's smeller. Finally, after a few rounds had been fought Blow backed off in disgust and queried the referee: 'Ah thote dis wuz tuh be a scientifik exhibushun, Mistuh Refree." The arbiter allowed that to the best of his knowledge it was that. "Ef such is duh case, den," expostulated the gladiator with the battered beezer, "Ah wish yob. would ask Mistuh Jackson tuh SCATTER HIS HITS!" One for the Ship BOB FITZSIMMONS was reputed to have kidded Sailor Tom Sharkey in heartless fashion when he knocked Thomas out in two rounds. Fltz was a nlmble-wltted fellow but Sharkey wasn't the quickest thinker in the ring.

Fltz began to call his shots, sav ing: "Here's one for the head, Tom!" Whereat Fitz would let drive for the dome as Sharkey's guard instinc tively went up. Then, "Here's one for the ship, Tom!" referring to the tattooed vessel on Sharkey's bulging chest. Fltz punched according to his bold warnings, with the sailor alternately lifting and lowering his guard. Finally Fltz barked, "Here's one for the Jaw, Tom!" but Instead the freckled terror drove his arm wrist deep in Sharkey's solar plexus. knocking the sailor out.

When Sharkey was revived Fitz consoled him thus; "Sorry, Tom. What I meant to say was; "Here's one for THE SHIP!" One of the funniest resignations of the ring was turned in bv Sum Pruitt, a good-natured colored giant wim a sincuy peaceful disposition. Pruitt flourished some 25 years ago and was a big hit because of his comical capitulations. His masterpiece was delivered when he engaged Bob Armstrong, a real good colored heavyweight of the time. Bob banged Sam in the midriff.
