But Pile, It seemed to the fans, landed harder than Sarrubbl. Pile weathered all that Sarubbi could offer and flailing away with both arms he battered Sarubbi off his feet. A bit surprised, perhaps a Mt angry, Sarrubbl leaped to, hi« feet and again he swung. Hia attempt was met with a heavy, sickening jolt to the jaw and again he went down. The fans were on their feet, for fans do not see a popular Idol thus forced to hit the canvas without some show of surprise. The first round ended after Sar- rubbl had hit the canvas five times, and the last time only the bell had saved him from the count of ten. The second round was a repeti- tion of the first except that Sarrubbl was battling the tide of turning fortune. Pile swung and Sarubbi went down. A second time he went down and a third time he went down—and out. The cyowd burst into a roar of approbation which bore no sugges- tion of "Sarrubbl" but unmistake- ably, perhaps strangely, carried only the words "Pile, Johnny Pile!" Before passing from a card which Produced little else in the way of sensational fighting, some mention in due the battle staged by Stanley Cross of the Trinity Club and Tom- my Canno of the Ozanam. Cannon and Cross. A mediocre first round, in which Cannon had everything his own way with Cross seeming a bit dazed, re- solved Itself into a fierce, slashing affair In the second, with Cross ap- pearing in the stellar role. It happened so quickly, the tides of battle reversed in such a sudden manner, that before the fans knew what was happening Cannon was stretched on the canvas and a fight- er who had seemed a sure loser ap- peared about to win. Only the bell saved Cannon at the end of the second round, a slarhing, battering, bloody affair. In the third both fighters seemed .;.-4o be awake to their tactics and there was fought out as fast a found of scientific boxing as has . b e e n seen in Corona in some time. ",. Both fighters showed the strain, t*tooth gradually began to become «*«roggy and both fought, not from any desire to fight, but from the fighting instinct which both have Jk* strongly developed.

Seerlng and Blechinger, the Man- hattan bowling stars, won the big bowftng match from Simpson and Bergstrom, stars of Queena, at Amann'a Alleys. Fifty-fifth street and Third avenue, Manhattan, last night. The second halt of the match was not us classy as the first and all four bowlers feel below their aver- ages. Seerlng and Blechinger scored 2,714 pins to 2.353 for Simpson and Bergstrom in the seven games. Of the seven rolled last night the local stars took only three. They were not in form and fell far below their best. The Queens team shot only three scores over the select 200 mark, Simpson getting two and Bergstrom one. Seerlng was in good form and hit four select scores and Blech- inger two. The best mark of the evening was 216 by Simpson. The next best was 214 and the veteran Blechinger made it twice. Wally Seerlng is the youthful bowling champ who recently came out on top of the average men in the American National Tourney with a mark of 208. Blechinger Is an old fox at the game and shines when It comes to rolling for purses Bergstrom and Simpson were the high average bowlers of the Nor- wood three-man tourney and fin- ished on top with averages of 209 and 208. Many Queens fans visited Amann's last night, hoping to see the Queens bowlers, who led by four pins after the first half, win the match on enemy territory. Last night Simpson and, Berg- strom averaged 188 and 176. ^re- spectively, while Seerlng made 194 and Blechinger 193. The Queens bowlers started off well and took the first game, the only one in which Bergie hit over They fell down in the second 200. and went back 88 pins, but they picked up 48 In the third game. They fell in the fourth but came back strong In the fifth. In the last two games they got started for a big string but breaks were against them and they lost the final two games.

BROWN Howell, McGinnity, Keister, Hams and Donlin. Washington — Mercer, Clarke, Grady and Carrick. These men formed the backbone of the new circuit until new mate- rial was developed. From their ranks sprung future managers who are familiar to even the younger generation. •_ ^___ Some Who Became Managers. Griffith, Callahan, Jones, Duffy, Gleason, Lajoie, McGraw, Bobinson —these men have since had more or less success as pilots. Before their playing days ended they con- tributed much to the glory of the new organization. The strength of the younger cir- cuit and its success against the old- er league in the annual clashes has kept the antagonism of the old leaders of the National league alive. Those who fought the in- ception of the American League, 1 imagine, gloried in the recent "strapping" given Big Ban. Many men rose to fame In the American League in its early days. Among them were Frank Chance. Rube Waddeli, Griffith himself. Koger Bresnahan—the list might go on for many lines. But of all the players who helped make history for the A. L„ Rube Waddeli might be chosen as the outstanding figure. Rube, with his wonderful pitching. his eccentricities and the conse- quent stories written about him, forms a chapter by himself. Bube joined the Athletics in 1902 after he had jumped from Chicago to Los Angeles the year before. For six years he remained in Phlladel The dawn of the Twentieth cen- tury marked also the dawn of a new organization that was to play an important part In the life and pro- gress of baseball. The debut in athletics of scores of men who were to set the sport world aflame and keep the fires burning with their deads, their popularity and their guidance. The placing on a firm foundation of the modern Olympic games, re- vived in the closing years of the previous century. And the estab- lishment of a supremacy in those games that has never been relin- quished. It was typical of all such en- deavors that the formation of the American League under the direc- tion of Ban Johnson, Charles Com- lskey, Clark Griffith and their fol- lowers should cause the backers of the old National League to predict the early death of baseball and the sliding of the diamond game into disrepute and oblivion. The Na- tional League promptly Issued a "black list" including the names of all players whom Johnson and his cohorts took into their organiza- tion from the old league. This black list reads like a blue book in baseball. It is worth the space to recall for the dyed In the wool fans the men who were "outlawed" by the No.- tlonal League heads In their futile endeavor to "scare off" further jumping. The players listed and the clubs which they jumped'were: Boston—Stahl, Hemphill, Free- man, Jimmy Collins, Criger, ] phia—until sold to the Browns in Schreckengost and Cy Young. Chicago—Sullivan. Griffith, Calla- han, Jones and Mertes. Milwaukee—Garvin, Duffy and Anderson. Cleveland—Bradley, McCarthy and Scott. Detroit—Barrett, Yeager, Buelow and Gleason.

In his hectic career, while giving Connie Mack gray hairs by his wild- ness off the field, nnd while disre- garding all training rules and con- ventions of the game, Waddeli set up a modern record of strikeouts for a season by fanning 336.batters. He fanned sixteen St. Louis bat- ters In one game while with tha Mackmen. He permitted but thirty-two home runs off his delivery in his entire career in the big show. The Olympic gomes were re- vived In 1S96. America won the major portion of the honors. The games were not completely organ- ized, however, and America was conceded to have prepared more thoroughly than other nations for them. In 1900 the U. S. athletes showed that their victory was but the forerunner of many. Their pep, dash and fire took the Eu- ropean contenders off their feet. Their sportsmanship, however, early became the outstanding feature of their work in the games. And that this sportsmanship has been retain- ed is shown by the way Paavo Xurmi, Finland's wonder runner, has been received in this country while lowering the colors of Ameri- can runners and smashing their records by the score. The International matches for the Dwight Davis tennis trophy, the most prized honor in that sport, were begun In 1900, the United States starting off the ,mnual strug- gles for the cup by defeating the British Isles team In three straight matches. The men who "participated in those early Davis cup matches wrote im- portant chapters in tennis. The man who links those days with the present is Norman Brookes. His masterful playing made Australia a contender In the first few year* of the matches. He led the team which finally defeated the U. S. team in the final round in 1907 and then lowered the colors ctt Great Britain in the challenge round. Last year Brookes, well over forty, proved one of the season's sensa- tions by his play In the British open tourney. ST. AUGUSTINE. Fla., Feb. 13.— Two swimming championships will be fought out today at the Alcazar Casino in the fourth days racing of the Women's National champion- ships. Martha Norellus, of White Sul- phur Springs, winner of the 400- metre event at the Paris Olympic, Gertrude Kderle, Helen Walmvrtght of Flushing, Adelaide Lambert, formerly of Corona, nnd Ethel Mc- Garry, Margaret Ravlor and Olive Filer, make up the field in the.500- yard free style event.

The Florida meet this year seems to be an impartial division of nation- al titles. Yesterday Ethel I.ackle of Chicago, whom Helen Wainwright beat out by two feet in the 220-yard event on the previous day, stood off the final spurt of Helen and the other challengers in the 100-yard race and won the title. Miss Wainwright w-as third. She has the jump on the rest of the field with two titles already in her pocket, the pentathlon and 220-yard free style. The Flushing girl helped the Wo- men's Swimming Association first team to capture the 400-yard relay championship yesterday, keeping a clean slate of annexing some sort of a title on each day of the meet. She swam last, following Miss Adelaide Lambert, the former Newtown High School miss who came to Queens from the Panama Canal Zone. - Miss Lambert won, a 120-yard free style open exhibition race In which she encountered little opposition.

LAND1S TO WIND UP 1924 SCANDAL HERE ON SUNDAY ppos NURMI AND RITOLA SHATTER RECORDS AND PLANT WINS BUFFALO, N. Y., Feb. 13.— Paavo Nurmi, with a show of speed that could be likened to a continuous sprint, shattered three world rec- ords last night by the 106th Field Artillery Athletic Association. The records to fade and fall be- neath the flying feet of the wonder runner were the 2,000 yard mark, which he reduced from 5:<J0 4-5 to 4:53 3-5; the ,2,000 meter marks which he cut from 6:33 to 5:22 2 5. and the mile and a quarter mark, which fell from 5:30 1-5 to 5:23 4-5. six and two-fifths seconds faster than It had ever been run before. But a short half hour after Nurml's great run, Willie Ritola, The skeleton In basebaTs family closet will be tenderly laid to rest within the next forty-eight hours, and thereafter will rattle no more.

Landis's attitude has been fore- casted as one of tolerance and clemency toward O'Connell, whose loss in food and honor has been deemed sufficient to cover his of- fense. If Landls safys the word, the skeleton will have rattled Its last. As matters stand, the District Attoreny has let it be known that he will be guided by Landls In his future actions, if any. He- stands ready to Indict O'Connoll before the Grand Jury and prosecute his ex- J tradition from California. But Landls will not say the word be- cause the man he is after Is not Jimmy O'Connell.

The Washington Senators may ha a one-year ball club, as some critics are pleased to see it, but you can't prove the allegation by our Mr. Huggins. The worthy Miller came to town the other day and became so exer- cised over the situation that lie broke the habit of a lifetime. Step- ping completely out of character, he became a wild, reckless gambler and bet two of the news scavengers that the Senators would finish higher than the Detroit Tigers in the 1925 American League race. The Yankees, of course, remain Mr. Huggins* favorite ball club. "The Senators look like a good bet to hustle right through the campaign," quoth he. "I really think they will give us more trouble thau Detroit. Of course, 1 am figuring Walter Johnson to be with the Senators again. "He still haB another year or «o of championship pitching In his sys- tem and I don't see how the Sena- tors could afford to let him go at this stage of the proceedings. Thev have a rather old ball club that is likely to begin disintegratinc at any time and a man like Johnson is almost Indispensable. "The Sen-.tors will be a hustling ball club because they Jiaven't yet got used to the Idea of being cham- pions and will be croay to repeat. Their success in 1924 will mako them play with added confidence; In fact, I regard Washington as the club the Yankees will have to beat." Infield weakness, he opined, would keep the Tigers out of the pennant. "They lack Just a little of being a championship ball club, as I see it," Huggins declared. "I think that little will be plenty. No club that I know of ever won a pennant with- out an acceptable second baseman and the Tigers still arg, looking for the man they* want." At this juncture the gentleman's attention was called to the fact that the Yankees themselves are none too secure about tha inner circle. "If Scott goes as well as he did last year there will be no trouble and we will win the pennant," was the reply. "If he slips, I will be put to the test. BUt I don't think he will. "I have been asked If I Intended to move Ward to shortstop in case Scottie caves. . I don't think so. If the worst cornea to the worst I would put Johnson or Shanks at shortstop and try to make the best of things. "Combs will start the season in center field, but Witt will not be let out. 'Whitey' h a handy man to have around. Shocker has told me'he will pitch his arm off for tha Yankees and I believe him. Steve O'Neill says he will be aa good as he was In Cleveland five years ago. I hope so." Huggins added that he was in hearty accord with the decision of Babe Ruth to go to Hot Springs tor boiling out two weeks earlier than usual. "Ruth has arrived at the age when the fat piles up on him and he knows that he needs more work to keep It down," he said. "Ho la one of the few ball players you can let alone in the matter of conditioning." • — The Jinx Sporting Club of Long Island City has started a drive for members. The club was organized recently and meets every Friday at one of the boys' homes. The officers are: President. Clinton Smith; vice-president.

NORWOOD STARS LOSE AT AMANN'S

The tides of battle rolled through Parish Hall, Corona, last night and When they receded, a popular Idol had been replaced by another In the esteem of fight fans.

For weeks the fane had been clamoring for Tony Sarrubbl until hia name had become a catchword, and spontaneously when the fans were excited, instead of shouting "hurray" or "th.-ee cheera," they •houted "Sarrubbl." It wae the thing to do, for to the fans Sarrubbl wa« the acme of fighting, the K.O. king.

But that is changed now, and In the future if the fans last night were a criterion, the cheers which shake the roof of Parish Hall will be for Johnny Pile.

And Johnny Pile, if he fights the w a y he fought last night, will de­serve all the laurels the fans can heap upon hie broad, muscular shoulders.

Hammering with wicked Jolts from both hard fists, Pile last night battered Sarrubbl from his feet t ime after time. But Sarrubbl came bade with a tenacity which pro­duced a tense battle.

Go Right At It. With the opening bell Sarrubbl

and Pile closed and there was no doubt that a battle to the finish wa« to be fought. SarrubbL^swung and landed and Pile swung and landed. But Pile, It seemed to the fans, landed harder than Sarrubbl.

Pi le weathered all that Sarubbi could offer and flailing away with both arms he battered Sarubbi off his feet. A bit surprised, perhaps a Mt angry, Sarrubbl leaped to , hi« feet and again he swung.

Hia attempt was met with a heavy, sickening jolt to the jaw and again he went down. The fans were on their feet, for fans do not see a popular Idol thus forced to hit the canvas without some show of surprise.

The first round ended after Sar­rubbl had hit the canvas five times, and the last time only the bell had saved him from the count of ten.

The second round was a repeti­tion of the first except that Sarrubbl was battling the tide of turning fortune. Pile swung and Sarubbi went down. A second time he went down and a third time he went down—and out.

The cyowd burst into a roar of approbation which bore no sugges­tion of "Sarrubbl" but unmistake-ably, perhaps strangely, carried only the words "Pile, Johnny Pile!"

Before passing from a card which Produced little else in the way of sensational fighting, some mention in due the battle staged by Stanley Cross of the Trinity Club and Tom­my Canno of the Ozanam.

Cannon and Cross.

A mediocre first round, in which Cannon had everything his own way with Cross seeming a bit dazed, re­solved Itself into a fierce, slashing affair In the second, with Cross ap­pearing in the stellar role.

It happened so quickly, the tides of battle reversed in such a sudden manner, that before the fans knew what was happening Cannon was stretched on the canvas and a fight­e r who had seemed a sure loser ap­peared about to win. Only the bell saved Cannon at the end of the second round, a slarhing, battering, bloody affair.

In the third both fighters seemed .;.-4o be awake to their tactics and

there was fought out as fast a found of scientific boxing as has

. b e e n seen in Corona in some time. ",. Both fighters showed the strain, t*tooth gradually began to become «*«roggy and both fought, not from

any desire to fight, but from the fighting instinct which both have

Jk* strongly developed. They clinch-^tM and broke nnd hammered away

and at the end the judges ordered another round.

The fourth proved ft toe-to-top match, with both battlers swinging

Seerlng and Blechinger, the Man­hattan bowling stars, won the big bowftng match from Simpson and Bergstrom, stars of Queena, at Amann'a Alleys. Fifty-fifth street and Third avenue, Manhattan, last night.

The second halt of the match was not us classy as the first and all four bowlers feel below their aver­ages.

Seerlng and Blechinger scored 2,714 pins to 2.353 for Simpson and Bergstrom in the seven games.

Of the seven rolled last night the local stars took only three. They were not in form and fell far below their best.

The Queens team shot only three scores over the select 200 mark, Simpson getting two and Bergstrom one. Seerlng was in good form and hit four select scores and Blech­inger two. The best mark of the evening was 216 by Simpson. The next best was 214 and the veteran Blechinger made it twice.

Wally Seerlng is the youthful bowling champ who recently came out on top of the average men in the American National Tourney with a mark of 208. Blechinger Is an old fox at the game and shines when It comes to rolling for purses

Bergstrom and Simpson were the high average bowlers of the Nor­wood three-man tourney and fin­ished on top with averages of 209 and 208.

Many Queens fans visited Amann's last night, hoping to see the Queens bowlers, who led by four pins after the first half, win the match on enemy territory.

Last night Simpson and, Berg­strom averaged 188 and 176. ^re-spectively, while Seerlng made 194 and Blechinger 193.

By NORMAN E. BROWN Howell, McGinnity, Keister, Hams and Donlin.

Washington — Mercer, Clarke, Grady and Carrick.

These men formed the backbone of the new circuit until new mate­rial was developed. From their ranks sprung future managers who are familiar to even the younger generation. •_ ^ _ _ _

Some Who Became Managers. Griffith, Callahan, Jones, Duffy,

Gleason, Lajoie, McGraw, Bobinson —these men have since had more or less success as pilots. Before their playing days ended they con­tributed much to the glory of the new organization.

The strength of the younger cir­cuit and its success against the old­er league in the annual clashes has kept the antagonism of the old leaders of the National l e a g u e alive. Those who fought the in­ception of the American League, 1 imagine, gloried in the recent "strapping" given Big Ban.

Many men rose to fame In the American League in its early days. Among them were Frank Chance. Rube Waddeli, Griffith himself. Koger Bresnahan—the list might go on for many lines. But of all the players who helped make history for the A. L„ Rube Waddeli might be chosen as the outstanding figure. Rube, with his wonderful pitching. his eccentricities and the conse­quent stories written about him, forms a chapter by himself.

Bube joined the Athletics in 1902 after he had jumped from Chicago to Los Angeles the year before. For six years he remained in Phlladel

The dawn of the Twentieth cen­tury marked also the dawn of a new organization that was to play an important part In the life and pro­gress of baseball.

The debut in athletics of scores of men who were to set the sport world aflame and keep the fires burning with their deads, their popularity and their guidance.

The placing on a firm foundation of the modern Olympic games, re­vived in the closing years of the previous century. And the estab­lishment of a supremacy in those games that has never been relin­quished.

It was typical of all such en­deavors that the formation of the American League under the direc­tion of Ban Johnson, Charles Com-lskey, Clark Griffith and their fol­lowers should cause the backers of the old National League to predict the early death of baseball and the sliding of the diamond game into disrepute and oblivion. The N a ­tional League promptly Issued a "black list" including the names of all players whom Johnson and his cohorts took into their organiza­tion from the old league.

This black list reads like a blue book in baseball.

It is worth the space to recall for the dyed In the wool fans the men who were "outlawed" by the No.-tlonal League heads In their futile endeavor to "scare off" further jumping.

The players listed and the clubs which they jumped'were:

Boston—Stahl, Hemphill, Free­man, Jimmy Collins, Criger, ] phia—until sold to the Browns in Schreckengost and Cy Young.

Chicago—Sullivan. Griffith, Calla­han, Jones and Mertes.

Milwaukee—Garvin, Duffy and Anderson.

Cleveland—Bradley, McCarthy and Scott.

Detroit—Barrett, Yeager, Buelow and Gleason.

Athletics—Cross, Fultz, Lajole, Bernhard, Frazer and Geler.

1908. He lasted but two years in St. Louis. Four years later ho died.

Sat Strikeout Record. In his hectic career, while giving

Connie Mack gray hairs by his wild-ness off the field, nnd while disre­garding all training rules and con­ventions of the game, Waddeli set up a modern record of strikeouts for a season by fanning 336.batters.

He fanned sixteen St. Louis bat­ters In one game while with tha Mackmen.

He permitted but thirty-two home runs off his delivery in his entire career in the big show.

The Olympic gomes were re­

vived In 1S96. America won the major portion of the honors. The games were not completely organ­ized, however, and America was conceded to have prepared more thoroughly than other nations for them. In 1900 the U. S. athletes showed that their victory was but the forerunner of many. Their pep, dash and fire took the Eu­ropean contenders off their feet. Their sportsmanship, however, early became the outstanding feature of their work in the games. And that this sportsmanship has been retain­ed is shown by the way Paavo Xurmi, Finland's wonder runner, has been received in this country while lowering the colors of Ameri­can runners and smashing their records by the score.

The International matches for the Dwight Davis tennis trophy, the most prized honor in that sport, were begun In 1900, the United States starting off the ,mnual strug­gles for the cup by defeating the British Isles team In three straight matches.

The men who "participated in those early Davis cup matches wrote im­portant chapters in tennis. The man who links those days with the present is Norman Brookes. His masterful playing made Australia a contender In the first few year* of the matches. He led the team which finally defeated the U. S. team in the final round in 1907 and then lowered the colors ctt Great Britain in the challenge round.

Last year Brookes, well over forty, proved one of the season's sensa­tions by his play In the British open tourney.

ST. AUGUSTINE. Fla., Feb. 13.— Two swimming championships will be fought out today at the Alcazar Casino in the fourth days racing of the Women's National champion­ships.

Martha Norellus, of White Sul­phur Springs, winner of the 400-metre event at the Paris Olympic, Gertrude Kderle, Helen Walmvrtght of Flushing, Adelaide Lambert, formerly of Corona, nnd Ethel Mc-Garry, Margaret Ravlor and Olive Filer, make up the field in the.500-yard free style event.

Miss Wainwright is present title holder at the distance.

Agnes Geraghty, of Elmhurst, Is on hand to defend her title in the 220-yard breaststrok* National championship, and undoubtedly will keep it, thought keen competition has been provided for Iter In the entry of Eleanor Coleman of Mil­waukee, Mathilda Scurleh of New York, Ruth Thomas of Atlantic City, Janet Cotton of Detroit and Carin Nillson, the Swedish star.

The Florida meet this year seems to be an impartial division of nation­al titles. Yesterday Ethel I.ackle of Chicago, whom Helen Wainwright beat out by two feet in the 220-yard event on the previous day, stood off the final spurt of Helen and the other challengers in the 100-yard race and won the title.

Miss Wainwright w-as third. She has the jump on the rest of the field with two titles already in her pocket, the pentathlon and 220-yard free style.

The Flushing girl helped the Wo­men's Swimming Association first team to capture the 400-yard relay championship yesterday, keeping a clean slate of annexing some sort of a title on each day of the meet. She swam last, following Miss Adelaide Lambert, the former Newtown High School miss who came to Queens from the Panama Canal Zone. -

Miss Lambert won, a 120-yard free style open exhibition race In which she encountered little opposition.

NURMI AND RITOLA SHATTER RECORDS

AND PLANT WINS BUFFALO, N. Y., Feb. 13.—

Paavo Nurmi, with a show of speed that could be likened to a continuous sprint, shattered three world rec­ords last night by the 106th Field Artillery Athletic Association.

The records to fade and fall be­neath the flying feet of the wonder runner were the 2,000 yard mark, which he reduced from 5:<J0 4-5 to 4:53 3-5; the ,2,000 meter marks which he cut from 6:33 to 5:22 2 5. and the mile and a quarter mark, which fell from 5:30 1-5 to 5:23 4-5. six and two-fifths seconds faster than It had ever been run before.

But a short half hour after Nurml's great run, Willie Ritola,

The skeleton In basebaTs family closet will be tenderly laid to rest within the next forty-eight hours, and thereafter will rattle no more.

Judge Landls will officiate at the obsequies and they wi'.l be simple, affecting and final. He will arrive In this city Sunday morning and at •he brief conference with the Dis­trict Attorney, a decision will be reached as to whether Jimmy O'Connell shall be punlsh/d further for his part in the affair or per­mitted to go his future way un­molested.

Landis's attitude has been fore­casted as one of tolerance and clemency toward O'Connell, whose loss in food and honor has been deemed sufficient to cover his of­fense. If Landls safys the word, the skeleton will have rattled Its last.

As matters stand, the District Attoreny has let it be known that he will be guided by Landls In his future actions, if any. He- stands ready to Indict O'Connoll before the Grand Jury and prosecute his ex-

J tradition from California. But Landls will not say the word be­cause the man he is after Is not Jimmy O'Connell.

He Is unnamed and unidentified, a somebody who was so much smarter t h i n O'Connell that he cov­ered his trail perfectly, leaving James holding the well-known bag. It seems unlikely that the man In question, if he exis ts at all, ever will-be apprehended. ' "Cozy" Dolan will make formal application to Landis for reinstate­ment, but It Is almost certain that he Will be greeted with a refusal as flat as a tailor's iron. The District Attorney did not give Cozy the cleain bill of health he granted to Young.

Demptey Will Fifht—Demptey Will Not Fight—H« Will Fight—He WiU Not Fight.

The present age in boxing probably always will be known aa the age of the Big L a u g h . m o s t of the laughing being done by the so-called heavyweight champion. Jack Dempsey, and his managers. Jack Kearns and Kstellc Taylor, the latter now manager of the Dempsey household.

Dempsey it wag who developed to the highest degree the art of kidding the public and keeping the championship without fighting.

Probably before he was born some astute champion conceLved tha plan whereby a champion could keep his title indefinitely and profit well financially by confining himself to activities outside of the ring. But Dempsey must be given the real credit for proving to tha whole cauliflower Industry that a ehamplon can make more money by locking his title in a safe deposit vault and clipping coupons on It through movie contracts which pay him huge sums for his na.,ie, than by «arn-ing nearly the same money In the ring with a chance of losing the crown and Income to sonte challenger.

Despite the constantly conflicting report* a« to m-ho Dempsey will fight nest and as to whether or not he ever will fight again, we do not believe and have never believed that ho Intended to re-enter the ring after having his nose built up by artificial means. Dempsey, Kearns, BIckard, Henderson and all of them say a thousand times that he will he matched for one more big bout, but we never will believe, until we tee him In the ring, that a man with A "built up" proboscis will expose it to the strong right arm and Iron hand of a Wlllt, a Gibbons or «v«n another Flrpo.

However, the heavyweight champion still has faith in his ability to pull tha public's lag.

Captain Walter Gassner, Ira Kil­ler, Alex Sutherland and Carl Sal-mlnen were tha representatives from Flushing. The boys raced hard but failed to cntch the flying Jersey team by a scant margin.

ASTORIA BOYS FORM JINX SPORTING CLUB

By DAVI8 J. WALSH.

The Washington Senators may ha a one-year ball club, as some critics are pleased to see it, but you can't prove the allegation by our Mr. Huggins.

The worthy Miller came to town the other day and became so exer­cised over the situation that lie broke the habit of a lifetime. Step­ping completely out of character, he became a wild, reckless gambler and bet two of the news scavengers that the Senators would finish higher than the Detroit Tigers in the 1925 American League race.

The Yankees, of course, remain Mr. Huggins* favorite ball club.

"The Senators look like a good bet to hustle right through the campaign," quoth he. "I really think they will give us more trouble thau Detroit. Of course, 1 am figuring Walter Johnson to be with the Senators again.

"He still haB another year or «o of championship pitching In his sys ­tem and I don't see how the Sena­tors could afford to let him go at this stage of the proceedings. Thev have a rather old ball club that is likely to begin disintegratinc at any time and a man like Johnson is almost Indispensable.

"The Sen-.tors will be a hustling ball club because they Jiaven't yet got used to the Idea of being cham­pions and will be croay to repeat. Their success in 1924 will mako them play with added confidence; In fact, I regard Washington as the club the Yankees will have to beat."

Infield weakness, he opined, would keep the Tigers out of the pennant.

"They lack Just a little of being a championship ball club, as I see it," Huggins declared. "I think that little will be plenty. No club that I know of ever won a pennant with­out an acceptable second baseman and the Tigers still arg, looking for the man they* want."

At this juncture the gentleman's attention was called to the fact that the Yankees themselves are none too secure about tha inner circle.

"If Scott goes as well as he did last year there will be no trouble and we will win the pennant," was the reply. "If he slips, I will be put to the test. BUt I don't think he will.

"I have been asked If I Intended to move Ward to shortstop in case Scottie caves. . I don't think so. If the worst cornea to the worst I would put Johnson or Shanks at shortstop and try to make the best of things.

"Combs will start the season in center field, but Witt will not be let out. 'Whitey' h a handy man to have around. Shocker has told me'he will pitch his arm off for tha Yankees and I believe him. Steve O'Neill says he will be aa good as he w a s In Cleveland five years ago. I hope so."

Huggins added that he was in hearty accord with the decision of Babe Ruth to go to Hot Springs tor boiling out two weeks earlier than usual.

"Ruth has arrived at the age when the fat piles up on him and he knows that he needs more work to keep It down," he said.

"Ho la one of the few ball players you can let alone in the matter of conditioning." • —

The Jinx Sporting Club of Long Island City has started a drive for members.

The club was organized recently and meets every Friday at one of the boys' homes.
