RICKARD HOPES TO MATCH JACK Outlook Slim, However— Skeptical of Wills’ Ability— Fulton May Get Chance. By HENRY L. FARRELL. NEW i'OKK, Dec. 24.—80 b Martin has joined the little group outside the cage looking in at the uiau-killer. The soldier champion wants to fight Jack Dempsey. Hard Broadway fans look at the challenge with a "well, he'd last about as long as any one.” Unless Martin has to meet some kind of a huge mortgage on the old homestead or something like that, it is hard to understand why he wants any of Dempsey's game. He had a good little -acket playing to soldier houses around <n the cities and suburbs and he's still a good card, but he won't be so good if he gets polished off like the Frenchman. Jimmie Brotioon's deli hurled at Dempsey on behalf of his boy brought the heavyweight situatiou back to notice. It looks like another lean year for Dempsey. Tex Kickard, however, figures he may be able to thiuk up some kind of a match for the king of the big ones. The boss of Madison Square Garden is expecting to see Kearns and Dempsey the first of the year as he has received word that they are about to give up Taudevllle acts and start in Quest of a good priced victim. Kickard believes that Fred Fulton would be a good card with Dempsey. He seems to place little belief in wbat Fulton said about his first experience with Dempsey in New Jersey. Outside of his leaning away from a •mixed bout, Rickard does not think Vmuch of a Dempsey-Wills fight. His opinion is shared by a good many of the fans who believe that the big colored man hag gone back and is not the battier that he was several years ago. Rickard i* now chiefly interested in the Carpentier-Gibbons bout that he has tucked away in his safe. Despite Oitrepeated stories coming from the other side, Rickard says he is sure that the Frenchman is coming over in February to met the St. Paul light heavyweight.

MURPHY TOPS LIST OF WINNERS IN THIS YEAR’S HARNESS RACING

Os the reinsmen who won more than twenty-tire races during the harness racing season of 1821, Thomas W. Murphy leads with a score of forty-five. To make that total he finished in front with fourteen horses, four of which were •redited with twenty victories. The Canadian bred gelding Roy Grattan was the most consistent winner in the Mnrphy stable. He landed nine races. Peter Daw stands second on the list with seven. This horse failed to show tn front until the circuit stables reached Hanford From that date he was busy. At Syracuse he won again, while at Columbus he wag credited with three and at Lexington with two. The 3-year old colt Sllladar won all ! of his engagements from the second Toledo meeting to Syracuse, except at Hartford, six being the number of his victories. Peter Henley and Sanardo each won four. The latter was the only new two minute performer In 1821. He was unable to defeat Single G. while Hal Mahone defeated him at Cleveland and Columbus. The 3-year-old fillies, Rose Scott and Eunice Belle, added considerable to the winnings of the Poughkeepsie trainer's stable. Early in the season the Peter Volo filly scored three victories in consecutive weeks and then failed, while Rose Scott, after being defeated at Re-idvllle, who at Columbus and Lexington. Cannelita Hall, Neva Brooke and Princess Kadena were the other doable winners in the Murphy stable. HARRY BKC9IE SECOND ON LIST. The New England reinsman.

NEWS OF THE DAY IN

Sport fans in this section pay little or no attention to those New York six-day bike races, but Gotham still displays much interest. The six-day grind recently drew 125,000 people to Madison Square Garden. On two of the nights the crowd was so great the police ordered the doors closed. The “wets” among the crowd had a glorious week, for it wa possible to get a bun for 30 cents —a shot of moonshine cached In a dog sandwich. Anont the talk of a subway for Indianapolis recalls an incident that occurred when Babe Ruth visited here late last summer. The home run ling’s teem stopped at the Hotel Lincoln and Ruth was assigned to a room on the Kentucky avenue side of the building. He glanced out of the window and down into the avenue, where he saw people disappearing beneath the street surface. '“Well, what do you think of this," said the Babe, ‘‘subways in Indianapolis! This town certainly must be growing like a fish grows scales. I didn't know any city other thun New York had ’em.” Later someone wised Babe up to the fact that Indianapolis didn't possess a subway and that the people whom he had seen going beneath the street surface were headed for the comfort station. “That’s aure one on me,” replied the homer king, smiling, “please measure my head for a brown derby.” If basket-bi'l doesn’t slow down it may become necessary to pad the playing court. Even some of the star football players who traded moleskins for net togs are finding the gaff mighty strenuous. Bob Meusel. pal of Babe Ruth, is strong for trips. After taking that costly outlaw barnstorming trip he went out to the coast and staged an elopement. Now he is op a honeymoon trip. He's certainly making a big winter of it. If John McGraw is looking tor something new in baseball uniform design be might have his players sew the dollar >ign on their sleeves next season. Walter Camp's All-Americin grid choice, published in Collier’s, diun't make much of a hit in Hooslerdom. He didn’t )place either of Notre Dame's crack ends on the first team. At left end he used Muller of California, who was out most of the season with a bad leg, anS who was not placed on the All-Pacific Coast team for that reason. If Muller was not placed on the •‘all” eleven of his own section It is difficult to understand why he gets the All-American. It remained for Southport to take t)ie “rip” out of Ripple. After the Broad Ripple High School team had won eight straight games it took a trip to Southport and got bumped off. Clarence Rowland stole a march on rival American Association managers when he traded Dave Danforth to the St.

Louis Browns. Rowland made the smartest deal for his ball club that has been made by any manager—major or minor—since the player market opened up this winter. “Pants” got the equivalent of anew ball club for one pitcher and in Roy Sanders he nicked off a chuclser who will make his home fans forget the sting of losing Danforth. Sanders was a big winner with the champion Louisville club last season and was recalled by the Browns when the seasoue ended. In addition Rowland gets a fine young pitcher in Bnrwell, who has a corking curve ball, thanks to a machine-gun bullet that clipped the end of the index finger on his right hand in the World War. Then there is I almero, a fine pitcher tie finishing games and a fellow who'll win many, and Loudermilk, always a standby In* the Association. In addition Rowland got a whole family of players. He's going to be hard to catch if he gets off on the right foot with the Senators next spring. It is said Manager Miller Huggins signed a one-year contract because there was another candidate In the field and Miller had only one of the Yankee owners rooting for him.

It will be remembered that in the general meeting of the , State Athletic Association most of the t discussion concerned the division of the sectional gate receipts, some of the smaller schools contending that they were i eutttled to a share of the tournament receipts. New contract* will be fixed by 1 tho board and whatever is decided upon will be the procedure this year. The places decided upon for the meets will conduct the tourneys according to the regulations of the board It Is for this reason that a tentative schedule will be arranged, for some proposed sectional centers may not wish the meet under I conditions that will be imposed in the i contracts. Other business before the board of control today was the settling of several cases In regard to eligibility of players and various disputes that have arisen.
