In General Villa's gambling casino in Juarez last night. Jack Curley signed an agreement with Hpollte Villa, brother of the famous general, for the staging of the Johnson-Willard prize fight at the Juarez Jockey club for the heavyweight championship. The contract gives Curley exclusive control of the fighting in Juarez on the Mexican side of the border, and it fs understood that Villa gets a big slice of the gate receipts for all the fights. In addition to the Johnson-Willard fight, Curley is planning to match Packey McFarland, Johnny Dundee and other fighters at the Juarez club during the winter, and will attempt to make the race track another Vernon arena.

McGoorty Still After Title; Meets Mike Gibbons on Jan. 18

Hfc og,Eddlt

'

Eddie McGoorty, whose fistic abilities helped put Oskosh on the map, is one of those determined individuals who refuse to let the dead past bury its dead in accordance with accepted custom. He still dreams of himself as middleweight champ, and to this end will meet Mike Gibbons of St. Paul, for a ten-round bout to be held in Hudson, Wis., on January 18. McGoorty has every right to claim the attention of the top-notchers in the 158-pound circle, this inspite of the fact that he has twice been beaten by Jimmy Clabby, who is now pretty generally recognized as the country's foremost middle. The fact is that Clabby, though he may sport a championship belt, the gift of Promoter Coffroth, is not actually the champion. To acquire a championship a man must whip a champion, and George Chip wasn't a champion at the time Clabby trimmed him in twenty rounds on the coast. Al McCoy, who has been milling fairly wel laround New York of late, beat Clabby to Chip. And he beat Chip with a kayo, too. It's quite true that McGoorty hasn't as much distinction as Clabby, but he is one of the game's best three middles, and as such deserves recognition. Clabby has never beaten McGoorty decisively. In May, 1913, the men fought a dra win Denver. Many argued McGoorty had the shade. The following month the two met in Butte, and Clabby got the decision in twelve rounds, though McGoorty scored a knockdown and forced the fighting. Their last meeting was in Sydney in July this year. McGoorty lost on a foul in the eighth round after holding his man even from the first gong. There wasn't anything in the early rounds to indicate that Clabby would have won by a big margin had the bout gone the full twenty rounds. Thus the result of the first two bouts was indecisive; the outcome of the third unfortunate. Nor is this McGoorty's first attack on the Gibbons' ramparts. The two COACHES HESITATE TO CHANGE RULES CHICAGO, Dec. 31. That there will bo little tampering with football rules was practically the unanimous opinion of coaches today after the session of the National Collegiate Athletic asi sooiation, and Walter Kamp of Yale j did not think that the rules would be i tampered with, as he considered that ' they are as near perfect as it would be possible to make them. Some of the coaches are opposed to the forward pass, but even this feature Is likely to stick for another season. CHECKER PLAYERS MEET EOR HONORS CHICAGO, Dec. 31. With Alfred j Jordan of London, the world's title i holder, already listed among the enI trants, the biennial American checker ! championship is scheduled to open at ' j the Sportsmen's Club of America, j January 11. Sixty contenders from all i sections of the country are expected to j start in the tournament, j The last named tourney was held j at Cedar Point, O., two years ago. I Hugh Henderson of Pittsburg, won the championship. Henderson will defend his crown here. Charles Ilefter of Kankakee, the present Illinois champion, and Louis Ginsberg of New York, city leader, have indicated their intention of competing for the honors. A. W. Valentine of Rock Island, is president of the American Checker association. WEEGHMAN TO GIVE KID GLEASON JOB CHICAGO, Dec. 31. President W'eeghman of the Chi Feds declared his intention to offer Kid Gleason, just released by the White Sox, a berth 1 as assistant manager and coach for the Tinkerltes next season. Gleason is said to have been offered the management of th Brooklyn Feds within the last month, but refused to Jump.

Mike met in New York in 1912. It was a no-decision bout, but all the experts agreed McGoorty won easily. The bout had extenuating circumstances. so to speak. Gibbons was 111 three days before the go. and the chances are he wasn't just right. At any rate he didn't box a typical Gibbons bout, and the 'Oskosh boy won handily. Gibbons has made wonderful strides since 1912, and is more than likely to trim McGoorty on points next month. The bout will serve a two-fold purpose. It will not only further the elimination scheme, but will give the ring sharps some material form on which to figure the prospective Glb-bons-Clabby go for the championship, for that battle certainly is the promoters' objective.

M. team in the Business Men's Bowling league last night on the Association alleys.

Bible Class league last night lost to the Muncie "Y" team at that place by the score of 38 to 21. Somerville accompanied the team and stated that Muncie's team was, for the most part, composed of Muncie high school players, but despite this fact the score would have been much closer but for the removal of Parker in the first half because of an injured ankle. As it was the score at the end of the first half showed Muncie leading, 16 to 15. In the second half, however, Pettljohn's team got to going a little better and scored 22 points, while the local team could get but six. The Iroquois line-up was C. Porter and William Porter, forwards; Pitts, center; R. Parker, Howard Wrebb and Ivan Toney, guards. Free lunch tonight, Roast Pig with Oyster dressing.

SEfUBSMEAN TO WHIP POLO

FIVE2JIMES Muncie Faces Determined Opposition When Team Plays New Year's Games in City. Muncie will find some tough sledding in the games tomorrow with the fast A. S. M. team. There's feeling among the locals who took their double defeat to heart that "if it can be done, we'll do it tomorrow." Local fans remember the keen rivalry that existed between the two cities years ago and with the revival of polo new interest and keener rivalry than ever before has arisen. The Muncie boys are taking no chances on losing the game and the fact that they will strengthen for this game shows their respect for the local team. Fans will get a chance to see the work of Wayne Fahrner who is reputed to be faster than Eddie Higgins ever was and if he puts up the game he has been showing up to date this feature alone should be worth the price of admission. Edgington, the husky center for the visitors, is another player whose work will be watched closely. He is a terrific swatter of the red ball and is running his rushers a close race for the honor of making the most goals. The A. S. M. fears not the prowress of these two players however, and are banking on winning both the afternoon and evening game. The preliminary game between the Greeks and Quigleyi: in the afternoon should be interesting because of the abundance of speed on both teams. The Jast time out, these two aggregations put up about as speedy and interesting a game as has ever been witnessed on the local floor. The reserved seats which were placed on sale at the Westcott Pharmacy are being rapidly gobbled up and from all indications a record breaking crowd will witness the sport tomorrow. EM-ROES WANT GAME Indianapolis Polo Team Strengthens Line Up. The Em-Roes polo team, piloted by Teddy Lewis, the old Marion Western leaguer, is hot after a game with a team representing Richmond. The team has strengthened its line-up by I the addition of Sipe, who has been playing in the east. The team, on i paper, looks strong, and after the com- ! paratively easy victory over the Mun- ; cie team Tuesday night, would prove ; a good drawing card in this city.

ASYLUM EMPLOYES WATCH YEAR FADE

New Years eve will be observed at Easthaven with a dance for the patients at 7:30 o'clock. The employes of the institution, numbering about 200. will hold a watch night party, beginning &t 9 o'clock. The hospital will hold open house tomorrow afternoon from 2 to 4 o'clock in cottages A-B, 1-2, C D, triplet and hospital group. The employes will hold a dance at 8 o'clock. The holiday festivities will close on Sunday with a religious service conducted by Rev. U. S. A. Bridge, pastor of the Grace M. E. church. PRIDE IN CITY (Continued from Page One.) 1 shown mjre Interest than ever before Something during the year, possibly the local option fight, which was of sufficient interest for every citizen to take sides, worked up the spirit of organization. The largest petitions ever known in Wayne county have been placed on file in the court house aud city hall. Liquor Forces Win. A large revival service was closed early in the year. The saloon forces won in the local option fight in March, which probably was the most spirited in the state. The movement was started for a home for working girls to be known as the guest house. Lower rates for gas, water and electricity were obtained. Better street car service was demanded, and an extension into Ueallview was opened. The fight for a bridge ocross Whitewater river was renewed after it bad been practically dead for seven or eight years. The year has seen a revival of sports and the city probably will be placed on Indiana's sport map again. Both indoor and outdoor sports have been or ganized and are paying above ex penses. The revival of polo has brought out hundreds of polo fans of the time Richmond worked its way into the state, western and world's cham pionships. The organizations which have been active in various ways this year arthe Commercial club. South Side Improvement association, Central Charities Bureau, Domestic Science association, Penny club. West Richmond Improvement association, Richmond Baseball club and various churches an! lodges. The newly organized Southwest Richmond Improvement association is a growing organization. The Fairview Improvement association, also organized this year, has been the result of new civic spirit, of Fairview citizens.
