JOHNSTON’S THREAT TO STOP FIGHT TAKEN LIGHTLY

Many Wild Rumors in Fistic Air Ticket Sales. Boxers Are Involved in Stories as Card Nears. BY MORRIS DEHAVEN TRACY I niffd Fre** Staff C orrr* pondrnt MIAMI. Fla , Fob. 26.—Today was the day of rumors and uneasiness—the day before a major prize fight. With training activities, except, for limbering up exercises by the various fihgters. entirely suspended, there was nothing left for the fight followers to do but spread stories and listen to denials. One yam went around that Jimmy Johnston really meant it when he threatened to take Phil Scott out of the fight if he didn't have his way about the rules. He wants the right to throw in the towel and he doesn’t want the referee to have the right to stop tlie fight without consent of the seconds. But that rumor was quickly written off by every one concerned, excepting Johnston who contented himself with hedging a little. Ticket Sales I,ow Another story was that less than SIOO,OOO worth of tickets had been sold. But the promoters, while not, giving out the exact figures, laughed that one off. And there were many others, still wider ones, concerning the various fighters. The consensus of opinion was that Ihe fight Thursday night ought to be a great show from the standpoint of a man who goes to a fight merely , to see fighting and doesn’t worry ' about whether something really j worth while is Involved. The main event between Sharkey and Scott is expected to be simply j a neee sary evil. Scott isn’t con- I ceded a chance by any one outside of his own camp.

Vic-Risko Boosted But the other bouts should be bang-up affairs. Victorio Campolo and Johnny Risko are exported to furnish the. real scrap of the evening. Campolo. the giant Argentine, who will go into the ring weighing .something like 227, is said to be in tho best shape he has been in for any fight he has entered. He has learned considerable about, boxing, although there is a suspicion he might learn more from Risko. A good many experts think that this bout may wind up with one of the two men in a position where he ran nibble around at least, at the heavyweight crown in the role of a future challenger. Loughran Favored Tommy Loughran is the favorite to beat Pierre Charles of Belgium, but by no great margin. The ex- j ports pronounce Charles a tough | lad. although not many of them ; feel he can outwit the smart and ! shifty Loughran—or outhit him 1 either. Jim Maloney of Boston is a favorite to win over Moise Bouq- j udlon of France, although any one j who wants to can get up an argu- j mont. on the point. The gates will open at 6 p. m., j and the first bout is expected about ! 8:15 p. m. The main event will go! on about 10 p. m. KAISER BEATS TERRY B'j United Press ST. LOUIS, Mo.. Feb. 26.—Johnny .

THERE are basketball players of many types, and the greatest is the chap who puts dash into his teammates’ play. Such a star is Thompson of Frankfort, whose parents christened him Evan, but whose hair has brought him the name of Red. Coach Everett Case usually keeps Thompson on the bench for the first five minutes or longer, where the redhead studies the opponents’ play. When he is injected into the Hot Dog lineup, it is a different team, both on offense and defense. Coach Case labels Thompson one of the best players he ever has developed, and Everett has given the basketball world many stars.
