RING GOSSIP

EDDIE ASH

EUROPEAN BOUT LOOMS UP FOR CHAMPION JACK Dempsey May Fight Georges in England Next Summer After European Tour. KEARNS TELLS OF OFFER BT STD MEKCEB. NEW YORK. Jan. 26.—A return match ■with Georges Carpentier In England next Bummer now looms up as the next Important ring engagement for Champion' Jack Dempsey. Unless a more worthy American opponent than has yet appeared can be found to match with the champion at Madison Square Garden in the early spring, Demjisey will betake himself to Britain for an extended theatrical tour ending in another battle with the European champion in London. This is the Hews brought in by Jack Kearns, who has arrived in New York from Los Angeles, where Dempsey is now resting after a, Strenuous tour of the West, during which he boxed daily. “The champion Is in splendid condition,” asserted his manager. ‘‘He wouldn’t require more than two weeks training to bump off any heavyweight brave enough to get in the ring with him. ’ Kearns intends to keep Dempsey busy Until midsummer. The bookings will depend on whether Jack makes his next fight here or abroad. “We have an offer to show Dempsey on the big time in the East," said Kearns, ‘‘and also have several moving sicture stunts. One thing is certain—aek will not get fat or stale through loafing. He isn't like other cnarapions I have known. His principal business is fighting and he stands ready to meet any rival who is good enough to attract a gate which will repay Jack for the time he will lose in training. However, I hardlv think he can get as much for any bout in this country as he can for meeting Carpentier again in England. ‘‘l have offers from several different promoters, but one that interests ine particularly comes through one of the noted English boxing writers who came over here last summer for the Carpentier fight. This man represents a syndicate of prominent British sportsmen who i have not heretofore been identified with the promotion of boxing. This syndicate is willing to underwrite a Dempsey tour of England and France and to pay Jack a small fortune to fight Carpentier j Bgaln. It looks good to me. ‘‘So far,” continued Kearns, “the negotiations have been carried on by cable, | but letters are on tbe way and next week ; J am to meet a local representative of , the men who are making the offer. So it looks to me as if we will sail for England In the spring.” [ jqowling] , 1 by taking three games from the Hides and setting the high team score with a Bt’iO in the second contest.

Jack Kidding Broadway, This Dispatch Relates vrw YORK. Jan. 2G.—.Tack Kearns, Jack* Dempsey’s guide, philosopher and friend as well as social mentor, is In these parts engaged in his favorite pastime of kidding Broadway. F “I am here,” said Kearns gravely, engaged in listening to the representations of an English syndicate composed of a cumber of leading sporting noblemen who. I may say, have sufficient Bank of England pounds to guarantee a satisfae torv purse and erect an arena capable of Beating 150.000 fans in London. “There are still a number of Englishmen ” continued Kearns still gravely, “who saw the Carpentier-Pempsey fight last July and continue to believe that Carpentier might yet defeat the champion. , “The gentlement who make up the syndicate in consequence believe that a Dempsey-Carpentier fight in London would be a big financial success.” ’Nother for Tipton TIPTON, Ind., Jan. 26.—Tipton nigh School basket team went to Scireclevillo Wednesday night and added the five of that place to its list of victims. The Score was 24 to 14. It was the seventeenth straight victory for the Tipton boys. Friday night at Kokomo will come a big test for the locals, for on that evening comes the clash with Kokomo on tbe Kokorao floor. In a previous meeting here Tipton won by a close margin. A large party of rooters will accompany the lccals to the Kokomo scrap. The Tipton girls’ team has been winning in good fashion also, the “fair five” banging up another victory when the Beircleville girls were defeated Wednesday, 17 to 5. Benders Keep Busy SOUTH BEND, Ind., Jan. 20.—Nicholas Senn, Englewood and Hyde Park high schools of Chicago, will meet the South Bend basket-ball team in a series of games this winter.

Association Votes Down Draft Offer of Major Leagues A. A. Follows Lead of Coast League—lnternational Expected to Do Likewise . CHICAGO, Jan. 26.—Club owners of the American Association declined late Wednesday to enter into airy draft agreement with the major leagues. The proposal for the restoration of the drurt, carrying with it a price of $7,500 for each player drafted, was unanimously voted at a special meeting called to consider the suoject. The major leagues, if they desire to obtain star players from the American Association clubs, will have to purchase them outright at whatever price demanded. The proposal to amend the agreement between the major and minor leagues relating to the draft came from Judge K. M. Landis, commissioner of baseball; President llydler of the National League and Ban Johnson of the American League, constituting the baseball advisory council. The American Association is the second of the three Class AA leagues in organized baseball to reject the proposal for restoring the draft. The Pacific Coast League voted it down at its meeting several days ago. The International League, according to baseball leaders here, is expected to follow the action of the American Association and the Pacific Coast League. Gordon Bennett Balloon Races io Start Aug. 6 LONDON, Jan. 26.—The Aero Club of Switzerland has decided that the start of the Gordon Bennett balloon race shall take place at Geneva, Aug. 6, 1922, the date previously fixed being thus altered. The organization will be entrusted to the Swiss Aviation Club and about a score of balloons are expected to take part, including three Swiss balloons.

The program will include endurance tests and the meeting will be followed by an international aeronautic exhibition.

NEWS AND NOTES OF COLLEGE AND H. S. BASKET ACTIVITIES

Two Big Ten games are carded for Saturday and a Hoosier team Is mixed ep in one of the scraps. lowa comes to tnis State for contests with the Boilermakers and the Crimson and their first stop is at Lafayette. The other conference game on Saturday Is Chicago at Minnesota. lowa meets Indiana on the following Monday. Minnesota, which ha3 been Betting nueh a fast pace in the early season games, does not play Purdue this year. The Gophers have eight more games to play. They meet Chicago and Illinois twice, and Indiana, Northwestern, lowa and Wisconsin In return games. After playing Chicago this Saturday and I. U. on FeK. 4, they take on Illinois on two successive Saturdays, Feb. 11 and IS lu contests -that may mean much in the conference net race. Another error can be charged against Old Man Dope—Yale defeated Knox by j one point the other day. The victory was by the slight margin of one point, j but Yale is very thankful. Apparently Knox was exhausted by its extensive barnstorming tour through the East. Also, the Knox captain was incapacitated because of a broken nose received in a j game a few days prior to the clash with old EIL Anew name suggested for Indianapolis is the Tournament City. The county basket-ball meet starts tilings rolling to morrow and Saturday. Next comes the sectional high school tourney, then the proposed National Intercollegiate, after that the final State High School Tournament, and somewhere in between, or alter, or before is the independent Amateur , tourney. It is urged by the management of the county tourney that the Indianapolis fans attending the games occupy the lower floor boxes or balcony so that the rooters of the various competing lives may use ; the bleachers on the lower floor. The Indlana-Do Pauw game at Bloom-1 lngton tonight promises to bo much . closer than the first contest that ended j in a 41 to 23 victory for the Greencastle j live. The Crimson outfit has improved j much since that time and Walker's players'will have to be stepping fast if they! would make it two straight. Although ’ the De Pauw squad reigns a decided j favorite there are 1. U. rooters who would not think it strange if the Bloom-1 ington team springs a surprise on the “speed boys” that have lost only one , game this season. Cannon’s loss, It is thought, will not weaken I)e Pauw as much as some are inclined to think. | Four girls’ teams are finally lined up for the county tourney starting tomorrow at Tomlinson Hall. There has been a little trouble because some of the teams have been playing under girls’ rules, some under modified boys’ rules and still others under tho regular boys’ rules. It seems as though there should bo some arrangement reached in this State through the I. H- S. A. A. whereby ldeutieal playing would govern the girls’ contests. There would be no arguments than as to which rules would be used. A team that has been playing under girls’ rules only can not be blamed for not wanting to compete under other conditions. Five high school games stand out as being choice morsels for the fans m Friday night’s play. Bloomington travels to Bedford, franklin is host to Anderson, Tipton gets away iroin its own floor to tackle Kokomo, Lebanon goes to Frankfort, Muneie is at Newcastle for a return game. There are other good contests, but the matches mentioned here seem to have the edge when it comes to ancient rivalry and all that sort of thing. It is becoming more and more apparent that a contest of any importance should have two officials. It lias been a custom in the Big Ten for years and the high schools are taking up the practice for big games. With the referee following the ball in a bard, fast game, there is no doubt but that another official is needed on the sidelines. Besides its other advantages a referee gains in confidence by knowing that there is another pair of eyes watching the play besides his own. lowa does not seem to pack the punch it carried last year and the Boilermakers are not expecting the hard tussle experienced last season at Lafayette when Purdue nosed out the Hawkeyea after one of the best home contests of the year. Purdue defeated lowa easily at lowa last week and the teams clash again at Lafayette Saturday. Every Indianapolis high school team plays Friday night. Tech meets Greenfield at that town in what should be another victory for the Green and White. Manual stacks up against Martinsville in the Artesian City in a contest in which the south side five will have to show more stuff than in previous games if a win is to be chalked up, and Shortridge plays Shelbyvllle at the north side gym in a contest in which ail dope hands I the game to the visitors before it starts. Hanover is one of those teams one never can tell about. There are several above-the-ordlnary players on the squad, and when ail of them are playing in top form their opponents had better be on their toes. Wabash and Hanover stack up against each other at Crawfordsville Friday. The Scarlet team is the favorite, but the Little Giants will find a battle on their hands. Hanover is far above tbe weakling class when it comes to the basket-ball sport. The Franklin-State Normal contest Friday should be an Interesting struggle. The Normal team has been a little . under-rated and possesses many possi-1

The Cathedral team started out Tuesday In the stormy sea of Indiana high school basket-ball nnd was no match for the Garfield team of Terre Haute. Feeney’s boys made a very creditable showing considering that they had not played before. Some of the players showed promise of better things nnd with the experience of more games will develop fast. There Is only one way to learn basket-ball and that Is by actual playing. Technical High School has two games over tho week-end. meeting Greenfield on Friday at that town and tackling I-eb-an on here at the Y. M. C. A. on Saturday. The Tech rooters, with two recent victories to talk about, are een- \ ill s'-ing nfter tho long si* ge ot defeats. An* on top of the general Optimism comes the news that Rob Nipper, perhaps, will break into the line-up again in one of the week’s games, after a lay-off because of illness. Which coach Is right, tho one that keeps his players In a room ail afternoon before a game and tells them to go to sleep or the one that lets them wander about a bit and leaves them to their own devices? Both methods havo their exponents. Some of the very best coaches say it is better to let th<‘ players forget basket bail in a game of billiards or a walk about town, rather than keep their minds on the coming contest by putting them to bed. The condition of the mind :s as important as the condition of tho body. It Is certainly true that an athlete can be pampered too much. The names of Franklin and Anderson High Schools stir up old memories in the minds of the net fans of tho State. The two old-time rivals meet on the court Friday night at the new Franklin gym. There Is always a battle lu prospect when the two fives meet.

SPAULDING, NEW GOPHER GRID COACH, ONE OF HOOSIER BEST

As one of tho original “Lltle Giants” of Wabash College, Bill .Spaulding, newly appointed coach of tho Minnesota “C" football team, often has been rated one of the greatest grid players the Hoosier State ever produced. It was back lu the days of 'O3, 'O4, ’OS and 'O6 that he played and Wuhash teams since that time have been quite successful In maintraining the high standard of football that Spaulding’s teams established. Spaulding’s style of play was the fight-all the time type, but despite his furious tactics, he always was rated a true sportsman and a player who did not overstep the rules In order to gain an advantage. Af er closing his football career at Wabash, Spaulding participated in a big Independent gnme In Chicago between a team made up of all-Western stnra and an ull star aggregatlo* representing Massillon. Ohio. Among other players of national fame In that game were Willie lb :-ton of Michigan, Ileze Clark and Rab Hare of Indiana, Iverson of Chicago, Shaw of IJowdoln, Monnlhan and Fairvv eat her of lllirols, Schulte of Michigan, Duke Welllnghoff of I’urduo and Cody Clark of Wisconsin. The average weight of the team was 187 pounds, but the team looked small compared with the MaaslHen Tigers, for the Ohio outfit had a weight average of 212. The average weight of Massillon's five renter men, tackle to tackle was 236 pounds. Beacon of Notre Dauie, Maxwell of gwurtluuore and oth**r choice grid performers comprised the '1 tger line up. I he Tigers won tiic game, lb to 4, after a brilliant struggle. Spaulding, though ordinarily a half back, was lifted at end In that game uud he proved that he possessed football versatility by not letting the opposition make a single gain around his wing of the line. since becoming a coach. Spaulding has specialized In open formations and >e'i-eene,i torward passes.

Wednesday he had five quintets of the fair sex paired up for an elimination series. This morning the president announced he had but four, making anew schedule necessary. It all comes about through the with- j drawal of the Beech Grove girls’ five. J According to President Vance, the Beech * Grove girls refuse to play unless the games are conducted under strict “girls rules.” It seems most of the other girls teams of the county have been playing (his season under what are termed “modified boys' rules,” although some of tw*m have played under straight ‘"boys rT.es" at times. So the Beech Grove girls notified President Vance they l wouldn’t play. He immediately canceled , a game which was to be piayed this evening between Oaklandon and Shadeland and notified tho remaining four teams j they would play as follows: Shadeland vs Ben Davis at 9 o'clock Friday morning Oaklandon vs. Southport at 9 o clock Saturday morning and the ® f these-two games will meet at i .30 Saturday evening In the girls' flna.s Just preceding tho boys’ finals at 8:30.
