that he may offer.' He Is the owner

ment enterprises In England besides being the leading boxing promoter of the country. Cochran declares that It is a fact that he has Carpentier's signature to a contract calling for the noted Frenchman to box for him at any time within a year and a half. He explains that this . document gives him

complete control over the Frenchman's matchmaking and that without his consent it will be Impossible for Carpentler to box for any other pro

The promoter Is enthusiastic over the match, declaring that it will be by far the biggest thing ever staged in the history of the ring. He says that boxing is thriving in England as never before and that the followers

smaller ones they said, agreeing that Harvard players from end to end of the line outweighed the Pacific coast team. Oregon supporters countered with the assertion that the westerners had been Just as much accustomed to cool weather as the Harvard players and might benefit equally as much by today's lowered temperatures.. Plenty of "Spirit" On one point all apparently were agreed, that both elevens would enter the game "full of the fighting spirit". The Crimson warriors exuded confidence that they would win. The Oregonians seemed grimly determined to do their best. Ticket speculators were up and doing early, although their activities were checked somewhat by the rapid depletion of their wares and the vigilance of federal agents waiting to arraign any unwary enough to ply their trade without turning over to the government the full amount of the tax exacted on all amusement tickets. Prevailing prices here and at the

downtown hotels in Los Angeles, last

night were $12.50 for 13.50 tickets. All of these today were believed to have been sold, however, and $20, $25 and even $50 for the choicest seats was demanded this morning by some. Bogus Tickets Out Warning by the police that bogus tickets had been printed In Los Angeles, and that attempts would be made to sell them here during the time of the Tournament of roses parade kept many prospective buyers

from taking chances with the specu

Bill Doak, who spends his winters at his home in Pittsburg and summers pitching for the St. Louis Cardinals, has sent his signed 1920 contract to President-Manager Branch Rickey. Next season will be the veteran spitbailer's eighth consecutive year as a

The club changed owners and managers since he first wore their colors, p.rd he has been affiliated wit hit longer than any other player. Although Doak completed his seventh season as a Cardinal this year the team Is not the only one in the big show with which he has been connected. In 1912 he enjoyed a very brief career as a member of the Cincinnati R?ds. That season the spltball hurler started out as a member of the Akron club of the InterState league and in July he obtained a trial with the Porkville outfit.- Doak lacked experience and a week after his advent into the majors he was sent back to the Akron team. He took part In three games as a member of the Reds. Doak's next opportunity came the

his games each season, a record that Is better than the one made by his club. Last season he pitched in thirtyone game and hurled thirteen complete victories and fourteen setbacks were charged against him. He won a

SAN DIEGO, Cal., Jan. 1. Frank Pixley, librettist of many comic operas, including "The Prince of Pilsen" and the "Burgomaster," died here yesterday. He had been ill only a short time. Mr. Pixley was a former Chicago newspaper man. He was with the Times-Herald in 1896, when his first play, "The Carpetbagger," was produced. sA little later a Chicago 6tock company asked him to write a musical comedy for summer production. The result was "The Burgomaster," the success of which surprised every one, the author being probably the most surprised. Long before this Mr. Pixley had written a musical comedy which had not fared well in the managers' offices. Now the managers wanted a production from his pen, and
