ENGLAND WARY ABOUT BIDDING FOR BIG MATCH London Fails to Enthuse Over Chance to Stage Carpen-tier-Dempsey Scrap. BOUT WITHOUT HOME By RUSSELL BROWNING, United Press .Staff Correspondent. LONDON. Jan. B.—Opinion is divided in England over the prospects of the Dempsey-Carpentier heavyweight championship being fought in this country. With the price limitation on seats in New York and the heavy tax placed upon fight tickets above the value of twenty francs in France, many ring followers here believe that England is the only place left. Charles B. Cochrane, partner of Tex Rickard and William A. Brady, New York, in the promotion of the light, woulu not make any definite announcement today. Inquiry among sportsmen revealed strong sentiment against the selection 01 London as the site. In a statement to the United Press the editor of Sporting Life said that Londoners were not taking it seriously yet, but in the event efforts were made to bring the big battle here that opposition would be sure to spring up from the press and the pulpit directed largely against foreigners taking such large sums out of England. It was pointed out that there are no laws in England to prevent the tight, but on several occasions, notably the WellsJohnson affair, public sentiment has caused big engagements to be called off. London has the facilities to stage the fight. The Olympia has a seating capacity of 13.000 and Albert Hall bolds 12,000, and the sky Is the limit on prices. Promoters are asking £l2 for the coming Wilde-llerman bout and the top prices for the Beckett-Carpentier fight were £25. The total receipts of the latter were £24,000. The Dempsey-Carpentier fight would command £50.000, it is thought. NEW YORK, Jan. B. Reports from London today that the Britishers are not enthused over the prospect of the Demprey-Carpentler fight there, make the SSOO 000 "ring baby" look like a homeless waif. When the fight first loomed np as a aure thing everybody and every place wanted it. Now it is getting the general So by. The fight can't come off in New York for Central Park filled at *5 to *ls would hardly pay expenses. France, with a 40 per cent tax on tickets, over the price of *2, Is out of the question. Havana and Canada remain, but the prospects of either are not enough to >enthuse the promoters. New Jersay, beyond a statement of John Smith of the boxiny- commission some time ago that the fr t would be welcomed there, hasn’t mmmented on its attitude recently. Even if State sanction were obtained there is always that "injunction club" over the promoters. That's one reason why London has been favored lately. The same barrier lies across the road for the Dempsey-Wlllard fight scheduled here for St. Patrick’s day. Promoter Rickard, who had definitely decided upon Madison Sffusre Garden as the site, will have to look elsewhere unless the champion and former champion are willing to acept a fire sale cut in their price. The bout has not been called off yet, according to Rickard. He has several other places in site, but he will not uncover them.

SPORT EDITORIAL By EDDIE ASH. Someone recently asked Jack Dempsey if he did not feel apprehensive over the proposed return bout with Jess Willard in view of the former champion's gigantic size and evident determination to win back the heavyweight title. "Oh, there Is always danger of losing any bout,” replied Jack, "but in the case of Willard, my only fear is that lie s liable to fall on me with that 200 pounds, more or less, when I hit him." # W # * Ice skating in Iloosierdom practically has become a lost sport and through no fault of athletic sponsors, but it is Interesting to recall some of the exciting times the city used to see on the gleamiug surface of the local creeks and White River. The growing generation doesn't know what it is missing in outdoor sports that used to be, but no doubt the small boys of today have a general conception of the excitement of the old ice-skating days from hearing their fathers, uncles and older brothers re'ate experiences. It Is true the Indianapolis Park Board Is endeavoring to supply artificial outdoor ice rinks for the present-day lads to scamper over, but the weather apparently is against the idea, because here it is the middle of winter and the temperature still moderate. At all events Indianapolis used to boast of many fancy skaters, sprinters and long distance stars who seemed never to grow weary of speeding over the frozen aqua. A jaunt to Noblesville and return via the gleaming surface of White River was no tusk to speak of for the hardy skaters of the days gone by, while some of the games that used to be played produced ns much excitement to the participants as present-day basket-ball. Polo-on the-lce was a ruling pastime that demanded the speed and endurance of a regular he-man. It was roller polo played on Ice skates and was faster than shinny, although shinny was always popular and a game could be found wherever there were bojß and ice. Saturday was the big day for the school boys, of course, and then on Sunday the older boys who worked brought out their blades for a day of pleasure. Every neighborhood crowd had its "best,” or champion, and he always received plenty of backing whenever he got matched up with a rival crowd's leader. Around the bonfires on the bank the discussions were many and varied while the skaters "toasted" their toes or dried out a trouser leg that had gone through the surface. And aneut the bonfires, it was necessary for the newcomer to “hump tick" (gather fuel) or be denied the privilege of "getting a heat.” This was common law and a boy had to be a super fighter if he evaded it. Pleasant Run, Pogue’s Run, Bean Creek, Eagle Creek, Fall Creek, White River and the canal afforded the ice and wherever the surface was smooth there could be found plenty of "kids" and action.

Pair of High School Hardwood Struggles Carded Here Tonight Shortridge Takes on Jefferson and Technical Opposes the Bedford Five. Two crack high school basket-ball battles will be offered Indianapolis fans tonight. Shortridge meets Jefferson of Lafayette, on the Shortridge court, and Technical tangles with Bedford on the Y. M. C. A. floor. Both contests are scheduled to start at 8 o'clock. The Lafayette team will come here boasting of a win over Manual last night and the Blue and White athletes will be out to slip the visitors a dose of their own medicine. Coach Julius has been working hard with his Shortridge team for the past week and he believes that they are in better shape for tonight's game than they have been all season. Shortridge has had some little trouble in getting under way on the victory stream this year, but the north slders have shown better possibilities than either of their local rivals up to this stage of the game, and if they can step out with a victory over Jefferson tonight they will gain a raft of new admirers in local high school circles. Technical rooters are pulling hard for a win over Bedford on the "Y" court. Coach Black has had his Green and White athletes down to brass ta ks in practice for this battle and is confident that he now has a combination that will play the gume as good as his 1020 sectional champs. Previous to the Christmas holidays Black gave all the men on his squad an opportunity to show what they knew, but from now on he will be out to win his games and Is anxious to take tonight's contest and get away to a flying start on the home stretch of the State tournament race. It is not known just who Black will start in tonight's games, excepting Griggs and Nipper, forward and floor guard, but Tech followers think that tonight’s starting line-up will be the Green and White starting combination from now on. JEFF WINS FROM MANUAL LAFAYETTE. Ind., Jan. B.—Manuel of Indianapolis was handed a 42-to-17 defeat by Jefferson High last night in a game that was much harder fought than the score would indicate. Although trailing from the start, the Red and White clan from Indianapolis forced the going all the way. The local floor is a small affair and the speed of the two teams made the game appear rough at times. Newman and Tilton defeated the Manualltes with their uncanny basket shooting. scoring thirty of Jefferson's points. Newman registered nine field goals. Wertz and Harold Harmcson went best for Manual. DOWNEY VS. O’DOWD. CLEVELAND, Jan. B.—Jimmy Dunn, manager of Bryan Downey, has received an offer to put Downey against Mike O’Dowd in New York. Dunn has accepted. but prefers to put Downey against Johnny Wilson, middleweight champion. Artie Root was today matched to fight Dave Randow in Cincinnati on Monday. Jan. 17. TREMAINE KEEPS BUSY.

BUTLER DOWNS EARLHAM FIVE Leslie Star of Offensive Drive Launched Against Conqueror of Purdue. RICHMOND, Ind.. .lan. B.—With Leslie, Butler floor guard, running wild over the court to smash play after play nnd tossing field goals with deadly aectir-cy, Earlham was handed a beating with lots of trimmings by I'at Page's five before a packed crowd at the Coliseum here last uight. The final count was 42 to 21). Leslie counted six times from near the center of the floor in the first period and came back for four additional goals In the Inst half.

At the half-way mark the Pagemen held a 23-to-10 advantage. Earlham made a determined attempt to rally at the start of the second tanza. scoring six points before the visitors renewed their -.ctivities.

DENTALS FALL BEFORE DE PAUW GREENCASTLE, Ind., Jan. B.—ln n game featured by some sensational goal shooting Do Pauw University defeated the Indiana Dental College basket-ball five by the score of 34 to 14. last night, lx? Pauw held an 8-to 3 lead at the end of the first ten minutes of play. Then Gibson and White staged some sensational goal shooting. The play of Gibson over the floor, coupled with the clever goal shooting, stamps him as one of the lw-st forwards in the West. The Dentals could not find the basket In the opening peiiod, which ended with Du I’auw lending, 20 to 3. The Tooth Pullers stage! a comeback In the last half. Presenting a more stubborn defense the Dentals held the Tigers away from the goal In that half in such a way that long shots scored most of De Pnuw’s points.

The Central States Bowlers' Associai tton delegates, at their annual meeting in I the Lincoln Hotel last night, cast a unanimous vote in favor of Dayton, Ohio, ; for the 1921 tournament*. Toledo, the only other city putting in a strong bid for the : tournament, stepped aside to make the vote unanimous when It was seen that I the majority of delegates favored Day- : ton. A large number of delegates from every bowling center in Indiana, Illinois. Ohio ! and Kentucky attended the meeting. Dayton delegates stated that the 1921 tournament probably will start on the Royal alleys Dec. 27, and they are going to work hard to draw a record entry list. All 1920 officers In the association were re elected for another term, and in addition, AVaiter Harshman of Indlanaoolis was elected third vice president. The following are tho officers of the association: President. H. L. Mergard, Sr . Cin cinnatl; first vice president, John AV. Kllngman, Dayton; second vice president, O.

Richmond. President Mergard of Cincinnati suggested at the meeting that four-man teams take the place of five-man teams in the 1921 tournament, but this matter will not be definitely decided until something can be heard from th" American Bowling Congress along this line. Threo five-man teams, a squad of Inflianupolls singles and doubles men, and two squa*'s of Louisville singles and doubles performers will bomba rt the maples tonight. The Mergard-Honing, Feldaus and Cuvier Press fives are here from Cincinnati nnd prepared to show what Cincinnati shooting is. These are three of the best teams in the Red city. Some crack plnmen will shoot for Indianapolis in the singles and doubles, but they will have the prides of Louisville throwing against their scores and they are not going to have an easy time being the evening’s starllghters. Being put of form was being in style last night. Some mighty classy doubles.

singles and five-man knights, from here and elsewhere, took the drives, but couldn’t take away any bacon. The Federal Alley five, one of Cincinnati's classiest outfits, couldn’t get going and finished the night with a grand total of 2,462 pins, the highest mark registered. The Champion Coated Papers of Hamilton, Ohio; and the Ad Club of Brazil, Ind., were In worse form than the Fed- < nils. The only double century rolled in (he team class was by Strieker of tho Papers. AA'est and Fricker, an Indianapolis pair that can, under normal conditions, crash the wood with anybody’s brother, didn’t get enough to make the addition problem worth while. Fricker cracked out the big single score, getting 542 pins. He went good in his first game and was in for 200 in the second, but his third was a horrible -flair. llnlpin got away to a 215 start in this competition, then blew his chances with a midget count in the second round. West Foint Authorities Deny Unfair Means Are Used to Get Athletes AA'EST POINT, N. Y.. Jan. B.—The military academy authorities Friday denied. in an official statement, published reports that they had made efforts "to induce, by Illegitimate means, members of football teams of other colleges to desert those teams and come to AVest Point for athletic purposes." "Recent articles in the press," the statement said, "h-ve contained insinuations that systematic efforts were made by military officers to induce, by illegitimate means, members of football teams of other colleges to desert those teams and to come to AA'est Point for athletic purp jses. No attention would be given such charges had they not attained a more or less authentic character. "A rigid investigation has failed to rev< al the slightest basis for such reports. Athletic types are desired lor the Army, but no unsportsmanlike methods have been used to obtain them. The military authorities, therefore, wish to m ike a most sweeping denial of such allegations.” ‘Y’ Athletic Directors Formulate Y'ear’s Plans A State sport program for 1921 was formulated at a meeting of all Y. M. C. A ath’etie directors of Indiana, at the local branch yesterday afternoon. The athletic directors are In favor of boosting inter-association activities during the present year more than they have ever done before and first steps toward this goal were taken at yesterday’s meeting. An Indiana Y. M. C. A. indoor track moot will be held at Ft. AA'nyne. Jan. 27. A’oiley ball sectional play Is to be started as soon ns possible and the winners in each section will be brought together for championship play at Terre Haute during the latter part of February. A State championship basket-ball tournament will be held at Evansville during the list week of Mafch. Indoor baseball, quoits, handball aw'd aquatic meets also will be h-ld to determine the champions and de mpionship teams In these departments of sport.
