GOTHAM LIKELY TO LOSE HEAVY TITLE MATCHES Reduced Prices Will Prevent Enormous Purses for Championship Bouts. NEW ADMISSION SCALE by henry fabrell, United Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK, Jan. s.—Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentler are not likely to have their little argument about the world's heavyweight championship In New York, and Dempsey probably cannot satisfy Jess Willard's desire for another chance In Gotham. In fact, the probability of the same battles being staged in America are very slim. New York is the one place that Tex Rickard and company could stage the biggest bouts of the year with the least risk and the boxing commission has put a huge barrier in the way. ICY WATER ON MAJOR MATCHES. The edict of the boxing solons that prices beyond $lO for an "ordinary bout" and sls for a championship affair cannot be charged, throws Icy water on the hopes for these major engagements of the ring. Probably the promoters will buck and fall upon a ' price fixing” argument, but that will avail little. Fortunately as far as supervision of the sport goes, the Walker Bill vests all

Trimmed, Say Red Sox BOSTON, Jan. 5. —The feeding is predominant here that the Boston Red Sox were "trimmed" by the Yankees In the recent deal by which Schang, Harper, Hoyt and McNally of the Sox went to the New York Americans in exchange for Pratt, Vltt, Thormahlen and Ruel. Follower* of the game here are convinced now that Pratt has retired from baseball and that the Yankee management deliberately handed the Boston Red Sox a player whom it knew was unlikely to ever appear In a Sox uniform.

the necessary authority in the commission to legislate ami enforce ruling of their own liking. Notice has been served by the solons on promoters not to arrange bouts in the future with higher prices. HALF MILLION OCT OF REACH. As is weil known a purse of a half million dollars has been offered for the Dcmp.-ey-Carpentit-r fight. It never could be staged on n maximum price of sls for n choice ringside seat. The Dempsey-Willar i fight, while not as gigantic fiuanacially, Is equally up ugainst it. Boxing circles here are jubilant over the commission’s move. New loik wanted to see the big bout, but it had a sinking of the heart when the price of the ‘‘ducats'’ was considered. With t-iis m„ve of the commission. It is thought Governor Sillier will leave the boxing bill alone. Ilis greatest oojec Cion, was the high purses and the big admission prices which were making the shows here available only for tne fattest wallet. Incidentally it is another victory in the valiant fight that the International Sport.ng Club is inak.ug to clear the cancer-spotted skin of the boxing game.

U. planned to bring the "live wires" together so that suggestions for the betterment of the organization may be discussed, was held at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday.

Mike Rosenthal, Mike Sagalowsky, Jake Yaver. Joe Sagalowsky and Ferd Born playing with the Y. M. H.

A. players, for the most part, were turned out by "Ollck” Klein at the old Boys’ Club. The Turners threw the Jewish contingent out of the amateur tournament last season, and tonight will find the rival south side clans fighting It out for blood. The game will start promptly at 8 o'clock and will be followed by a dance. Coining back after a two weeks layoff during the holidays the Independent Athletic Club team will meet the Carmel Kelts on the I. A. C. floor Saturday night. The Carmel team has been taking the number of some of the best teams in the State, but the local quintette Is in great form and should get away with the winners' share of the points. The Independents will be strengthened Saturday night by the return of Bartholomew. their star forward, who was injured in the Mooresville Elk contest. Reserve seats for the game may be purchased at the Exn-Roe sporting goods store and at Harry Cooler’s billiard parlor.

SPORT EDITORIAL By EDDIE ASH. Rules barring card playing, dice and other forms of ‘‘indoor sports” where money changes hands have been announced by several big league baseball clubs as a warning to playerß to separate themselves entirely from gambling entertainment. Also Tris Speaker, manager of the Cleveland world's champions, has let it be known that he has changed the team’s training camp from New Orleans to a Texas site in order to wern the athletes away from the bangtails. The horses run merry in the Crescent City during March and Tris believes It a wise move to take his diamond performers away from there to a place where they'll have nothing to do but play ball aDd eat. The object of these moves on the part of the baseball managers is to try as far as possible to keep the players away from the gambling element in order to lessen the possibility of a repetition of the baseball scandal of 1919. The club owners and managers are thinking of the gambling end from the viewpoint of the public. They are aware that the White Sox expose will put the baseball fans on the alert for the slightest evidences of indiscretion on the part of the players for some time. They are aware that it is up to them to take the lead in freeing the game in general from any suspicion of taint. Hence the rules for 1921 barring all games of chance among players during spring training and the championship season. Ball players are only human and probably will find It a difficult matter to get along without the time-killing Indoor pastimes. When a long jump is made travel becomes wearisome and it's only natural that a card game is suggested, but the boys will have to get along the best they can. It's the penalty the honest players must pay for some of their number going crooked. Other moves to purge the game entirely from the gambling suspicion include requests to the players ttt discourage the friendships of known gamblers, who in the past have made It a point to make the acquaintance of diamond stars In order to get as much inside information as possible on the condition of a club, such as the shape of the pitching staff and the probable pitching choice for the day’s game. In this manner the gambler sought to gain an edge before placing a bet, and although the majority of players usually made It a point to give such persons the wrong information entirely, a few fell for the friendship stuff and disclosed club secrets. In the main, however, these new club rules and restrictions against “indoor sports” will not achieve their aim unless the players themselves enter Into the spirit of the situation. It's an easy matter to evade club rules, we’ll all admit, but It Is not thought the players will care to do so In the face .of the hurt the crooked White Sox gave the game.

COLLEGE AND H. S. NET GOSSIP

Al Feeney’s Cathedral five lost their first game to the All-Collegians yesterday afternoon, IT to 15, on the Masonic floor. The high schoolers pushed the veterans hard all the way, grabbing the lead several times, but the remarkable basket-shooting of Beery and Howard, former St. Joseph College stars, was too much for them. The Cathedral team defeated the Collegians last week. Coach Black will try anew wrinkle in his line-up when Tech meets Bedford at the Y. M. C. A. Saturday night. Griggs and Wilson will be the forwards, Greensburg will jump center and Nipper and Conly will work as guards. This reads like a peach of a line-up. What’s “Shorty” Morrison’s idea in losing all these games to Valley Mills? It may be that the short one has something up his sleeve. That’s not saying that those Valley kids don’t deserve u load of credit for the manner in which they keep their daubers in the air. A team has to have a little "go” In it to come from a 10-to-3 first half defeat to a 26-to-13 victory. When AI Feeney of the Cathedral and K. V. Ammerman of Manual get together. football talk is forthcoming. That’s what happened nt the Chamber of Commerce luncheon yesterday. They’re already , planning for that M mual-Ca-thcdral football game next fall.

Hornsby Sets Pace for Heavy Hitters in National League Card Star Proves Right to Swat Honors—Carey High in Base Thefts. Twenty players, beaded by Rogers Hornsby, of the Cardinals, hit in the .300 clacs in the National League during the season of 1920, according to the official batting averages made public today. Hornsby captured the batting <hnmpionship of his circuit with an average of .370, a mark that has been oeaten but four times since 1900 and excelled only nineteen times over a stretch of fortyfive years, during which batting championship records have been kept. The batting average of the new champion topped that of Fred Nicholson. of the Pirates, by ten points and Hornsby took part in 119 games, six less than his team played. In the first ten with norua* by tro Ross Young. New York, with 331; Ed Roush, Cincinnati, with 339: Smith. St. Louis, .332; Zaeh Wheat, Brooklyn. .328: Eddie Eayres, Boston, .328; Fred Williams. Philadelphia, .325; Milton Stock, St. Louis. 319, and Cbarile Holloeher, Chicago, .319. Os the first twenty batsmen, all of whom bit .300 or better, seven played in less than one hundred gomes, which leaves thirteen batsmen who proved their right to be elapsed as .300 hitters by batting consistently in 130 games or more. CARDS LEAD IN TEAM BATTING. The batting strength of the St. Louis Cardinals is shown in the team averages. The Cards led their rlva's as a team, hitting .289, an exceptionally fine average, and part of the answer is shown in the list of the "charmed twenty," in which Hornsby, Smith, Stock and Fournier appear. The champion Brooklyn Dodgers also had four consistent .300 hitters last season In Wheat, Koney, Grimes and Myers, and Brooklyn finished second in team batting with .277. Max Carey, the fleet Pirate outfielder, led his league once again in stolen bases, pilfering a total of fifty-two. Carey has long been the best base-runner in his league. Hornsby made the most hits, 318, and also leads in two-base hits with fortylour. Miiton Stock is the leading onebase hlttei;, with 170 singles. Ily Myers leads in. three-base hits, with twenty-two, and Cy Williams occupies home-run honors with fifteen home runs. Rogers Hornsby leads the long hitters with 329 total bases, for a percent age of .639. Two players—Rogers Hornsby of St. Louis and Ross Young of New York—garnered more than 200 hits as their season's portion. Only thirteen National League batters have reaped more hits per season than has Hornsby, with Willie Keeler of Baltimore the leader, with 243 hits during the season of 1897. BURNS GETS MOST RUNS. George Burns of New York leads the run-scorers with 115 runs. Not since 1911, when James Sheekurd of Chicago, tallied 121 runs, has any player reached this high mark in runs scored. George Cutshaw of Pittsburgh is the leading sacrifice hitter, with thirty-seven sacrifice hits. Thera were forty-nine cases of hitting safely in ten or more consecutive games, with Eddie Roush of Cincinnati the leader. Roush on Aug. 27 began a streak of safe hitting that endured for twenty-seven successive contests anti yielded forty-six hits in 114 times at bat till Sept. 22, when Charles Adams of Pittsburgh stopped Roush. David Bancroft of New York was the only player that got six hits in six times at bat in one game. This Bancroft did on June 28, against Philadelphia. St. Louis leads in club hitting with a percentage of .289; made the most hits, 1,589; the greatest number of total bases, 2,115; most singles, 1,223. and got the greatest number of two-base hits, 238. Brooklyn made the most three-base hits, 99, and Philadelphia batted out the greattest number >©f home runs, 64. New York leads ia scoring, with 682 runs, and Pittsburgh is the leading base stealing club, with 181 stolen buses.

Dancing Gives Way to Basket-ball Special to The Times. MARION, Ind., Jan. 5.—-Dancing will not be enjoyed, at least during the basket-ball seasen, at the Civic Hall, according to a decision made by the committee of public works.

Manual, Shortridge and Tech have been the under hounds long enough. Now watch ’em step. Last night’s game surely convinced Justice Paul, gruduato athletic manager at Butler, that Tomlinson Hall should be Butler's battle ground in all big games of the future. Butler lost a lot of dollars and a lot of fans lost plenty of time going out and coming back without being able to get in the Butler gym to see the Bulldogs and Purdue battle. Butler gets a chance to square things fairly well by trouncing Earuham at Richmond Friday night and Coach Page Is calling overtime sessions for his athletes and Is letting them know that they are expected to win. Wabash basket-bailers have, a rather large chunk to chew off during the next few days. They meet three crack squads on on Illinois trip starting Thursday and finishing Saturday, then they stack Into the Purdue five at Lafayette next Tuesday. It’s going to take some of the old “wonder" stuff to pull them through this card with flying colors. The death of George Gipp delayed the start of the Notre. Dame quintette, but they'll be head, neck and heels In action from now on. Irish admirers believe Coach Hallos is going to turn out a prize team at the Bender school this ten son.

Red Sox owner, but it is not believed the scheme will go through. There will not be anew outlaw baseball league, for no one with any considerable amount of money is going to go any further than to talk about It after recalling tbo experience of the Federal League. Such yarns are merely publicitygetting schemes and fail to attract any serious attention from real fans. The Continental League can continue to hold meetings and award franchises, but who’s going to kick in with the money? , After ‘Bo’ McMillan CANTON, Ohio, Jan. s.—Ralph E.

Dental Five Ready for Hard Fray With Normal Men Tonight Two schools that hare long been rivals In baskat-ball will clash tonight, when the Indiana Dental College five meets the Central Normal College team at the Shortridge gymnasium. The game will start at 8 p. m. John Head will Coach Clark sent his Tooth Pullers through an hour and a half workout last night and the Dentals scrimmagied forty minutes. The second-string men appear about equal to the first team and Farver and Quinn caused Reeve and McPherson all kinds of trouble when the varsity forwards attempted to get close-up shots at the basket. Langsten and Gevirtz both showed well at basket shooting and may get Into tonight’s game. The Dentals, however, probably will start their game with Witter and Mathews, guards; McVaugh, center; McPeraon, Koeve or DeaKyne. forwards. The passing of the Dentals was good in practice last night, but the goal shooting was not what the coach knows his Tooth Pullers must show to defeat the Teachers. Miles and Nelson are the stars of the Central Normal five. Nelson is a clever floor guard, passes well and has a good eye for the basket. Miles plays center. Marshall and Roberts will be at forward for Normal. Ratcliffs will play the other guard. - Yankee Tennis Heads Expect Challenges From All Net-Playing Nations NEW YORK.
