NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—Joe Jacols, boxing promoter, announces that Johnny Wilson, middleweight champion of the world, will meet Mike Mcligue in a battle for the title at Montreal on March 17.

Brennan or Madden Against Dempsey , Is Rumored in Gotham NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—Possibility of a Jack Dempsey-Bill Brennan match in Boyle's well known patch over in Jersey City loomed up today with the evxpeeted arrival of Jack Kearns here for the purpose of taking up the possibilities of the match with Tex liickard. Rickard, however, had troubles of his own today at the West Side court and may not be able to see the champion’s manager until tomorrow. Chalices of a l>empsey-Carpentler fight to be held in London or Paris are not regarded as good. Cnrpenfier's victory over Cook brought the usual crop of rumors to the surface bearing on a possibility of an other Dempsey-Carpentier match, but Rickard is convinced that neither the public nor the Frenchman need another demonstration of the relative merits of the battlers. Bartley Madden is mentioned as a possibility instead of Brennan. Kearns is known to prefer closing for an early match and Rickard may decide to close Ihe Madison Square Garden season with either Madden or Brennan against the champion instead of waiting until the Jersey open air arena can be used. Independent Basket-ball j The manager of the Yincoes has received the applications of four teams for the net tourney planned by the managers of the Vincoes and the Cathedral Midgets.

There has been a mistake in announcing the schedule of the Dentals for the week os the Tooth .Pullers are not carded to meet Indiana State Normal in Indianapolis, Thursday night.

There is many a coach worrying m° rft this week about "exams” than his players. About twice a ,vear the prot nas his day and he spoils many champion ship dreams. Teams entered in the Marion County basket-ball tournament, to lteta Tomlinson Hall next rlday and .at tirdav, will enter the hall through tne main entrance on Market street thiß vear instead of using the Delaware street entrance as in former years. This was decided on at the meeting of the county coaches as a remedy for the co“ dition existing in former years, when merous individuals imposed on the Dew ware street doorkeeper by representing themselves as "members of the team. Net fans are warned here and now not to overlook Bedford in the yearly high school scramble for State. honors- Com* •Vbbett has a team of fighters that kuo t as rnueh basket-ball as any liable Hoosierclom. More dope will be when Vincennes goes to the Stone <~i t y a week from Friday for one of the mow BBS'S .BSSMSBWWt* outplayed Franklin ia its victory over the champs last week. Tipton has not lost a game In the prep net ironies this season, but will bcforiid ?o the limit Friday if its slate to be lent clean Tipton barely nosed out Kokomo 6 at Tipton and this timo Roko mn will have the advantage of PtnT 1 *;? on* its home floor. It. looks ns though Tipton's unbroken string may get awful wrench. When Manual plays Martinsville at that fitv next Friday a comparison may be mode between Freeh and the Red and White. At the present time Tech seems to have the edge, but if Coach Evans of Manual could get H little assistance for Uartaeson it might be a different story. Minnesota seems to believe In by the closest possible of margins. Three points were enough to put the widiana |anie on ice for their fourth Conference victory. The Wisconsin defeat inqf Saturday was al* to lu affair. so it's in the win column is all that's necessary. Some fans that saw Indiana play here early in the season wondered how the Crimson could ever win a game in the Big Ten They failed to see the latest possibilities in tlio State school's squad. There are some promising players among Levis’ inen and the team is coining along better as the season advances. The men are practically all sophomores and it takes time to get the team together. The Shclbvville game, which was to have been played at the new Tech gym this afternoon, was called off yesterday when there was a hitch in the arrangements Local faus will get to see the strong Shelbyville five in action Friday night when Shortridge is the host at the north side gymnasium.

Tech finally has a place to practice. The team has been taking work-outs under the direction of Coach Black ill Ihe new gym this week. Manual’s new floor is almost ready and the five will practice there this season, although there will be no games played until next year. The

When Coach Staggs brings his Anderson High School basket-ball tossers to Franklin Friday evening to battle with the local aggregation one of the fastest games of the year is expected to develop. The last few weeks has seen a gradual improvement in the plav of the Anderson five and it is the opinion of local dopesters that Franklin will have its hands full when the game gets in full sway.

The Franklin players are suffering from minor injuries, but the first string men are expected to start the game. .

Cumberland Squad Will Present Full Strength in Meet Team of Veterans Said to Be Improved Over Early Season Form. Although the Cumberland High School haslcet-ball team has not made a very impressive record so far this season, yet it hopes to make a good showing in the Marion County tournament here Friday md Saturday. Cumberland got away to a rather poor start this year, owing to the fact that the new gym was not completed until about the first of the year. Since that time the five has met many of the strongest teams in the county, and has either turned in victories or held its opponents to very low scores. Cumberland has met the strong Broad Ripple quintette twice, losing both times by five points. Valley Mills was forced to go overtime for a victory and Southport, picked by many to vrin the coming tourney, was forced to the limit, winning Ly the scant margin of one point. Cumberland recently defeated the strong West Newton five by a score of 19 to 13. This has been the only game in which all the members of the squad have been In the proper physical condition. From present indications, however, the team will enter the tourney in a better condition than ever before in the present season. Cumberland is represented this year by the following players: Captain, It. Amos, guard; N. Amos, guard; Cass, guard; Hilkene, center; Darner, center; Morgan, forward; Jolly, forward; Brier, forward. Six of this number were members of last year’s squad, three of them being regulars. They fought their wav to the finals in last year's tourney, only to be defeated by the fast-going Valley Mills five. -Should these two teams win their first two games in the tourney this week they will meet in the semi-finals.

SHINNERS ASKS PART OF PRICE Tribe Starr Sent to Giants, Wat*ts Share of Big Money Involved. Outfielder Ralph S sinners, transferred from the Ind : anapoP< club to the Netn| York Giants in a combination sale and| trade, is balk.'ng on signing with the Giants unless ae getn part of the sate price, according to reports received from Milwaukee, where Shinners resides. According to the terms of the deal’ the local team was to receive four players and $25,000 for the young speed boy, and it seems that Shinners is demanding part of those 25,000 “iron men.” IT is said that Ralph has informed the Giant officials that he will retire from organized baseball unless they meet with his request. However, John McGraw is pretty smart when it comes to handling ball players and there is reason to believe that he will be able to settle the Shinners matter to the satisfaction of all concerned. Vice-President Smitk of the Indiana and Manager Jack Hendricks were not in the city today, having gone to Chicago to attend the American Association session called to talk over the latest draft proposal made by the major leagues. This calls for $7,500 to be paid Class AA clubs for athletes drafted by either the National or American leagues. Heretofore the American Association has opposed any draft measures, but it understood the Indianapolis club is in favor of the latest proposition advanced by Commissioner Landis and the president of the two nig leagues.
