Fountain City at Losantville Profiting by the disastrous experience of Cambridge City, Fountain City is not expecting an easy game in the scrap to be staged with the Losantville high school basketeers, at Losantville, Friday night.

Kearns and Cof froth Talk Carpentier-Dempsey Match (By Associated Press) SAN DIEGO, Calif., Jan. 8. Details of the proposed match at Tia Juna lower California, between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier for the world's heavyweight championship were to be discussed at a conference here today between Jack 'Kearns, Dempsey's manager, and James W. Coffroth, promoter. Coffroth early today was without direct word from Descamps, Carpentler's manager, that his terms had been accepted, but said he had cabled Charles J. Harvey, his agent in London, to get into touch at once with Descamps and Carpentier and advise him of their plans. He intimated he is proceeding on the theory, he said, that Associated Press advices from Paris to the effect that Descamps had accepted his offer were cofrect. He said he expected to construct an arena at .Tia Juana to accommodate a crowd of at least 60,000 and possibly 100,000. He expected to discuss with Governor Bataban Cantu arrangements for the match after he had heard from Harvey. Signal Practice is Final Work for 11. 5.

Gatherings From In an effort to forestall further rumor that the Cardinals might sell Rogers Hornsby to the Giants, Branch Rickey has Issued a statement reiterating previous declarations to the effect that Hornsby was not for sale and explaining the attitude of the St. Louis club in regard to offers which have been made for this player. The statement is as follows: "I notice several articles in the paper lately reviving rumors that Hornsby is to besold. Various offers have been reported. There are several players on the Cardinal club who are not for sale and Hornsby is one of them. I would like to have this matter thoroughly understood. "It is generally known that we have had no surplus funds of any sort to work with the past two or three years. During this period, offers of extravagant sums for our players were repeatedly refused. At the present time the club treasury Is not in need of special funds, and, indeed, for the first time, there are some rational prospects of our being able to go into the open market and bid for players. If. during the past three years, while the club needed funds, these offers were rejected, why should the policy be changed now? St. Louis is not the training ground for other clubs and it does not care to be a stepladder for any particular club to win the 1920 pennant. What is to be gained, therefore, by the continuous press reports that the St. Louis club is about to sell Hornsby or any other good player? I hope it will be believed unnecessary to, seek denials from me. at any time this winter regarding the sale of good players. The only possible result of this propaganda is to make same player dissatisfied in St. Louis. "It is pleasing that all the puffing and big offers for Hornsby cannot affect him or his playing. I know him well enough to say that he will be Rogers Hornsby just the same and his playing will be the same steady, agpressive type as in the past. "The strenuous efforts of other clubs to secure this player will cause many fans to expect too much to think him perfect: a superior player every day. This will possibly make it difficult for Rogers to measure up to the standards set for him. But the same fans must keep this in mind. Experienced and successful, baseball managers are not offering $70,000 in cash and four players worth $60,000 in addition and then offering an agent $10,000 commission to make the deal at the above figure the greatest and most extravagant offer in the history of baseball for nothing. I insist that the fans of St. Louis should keep in mind that the offer has been made by

intelligent people for something more than a mediocre player. It has rightly placed (he highest estimate upon the ability of Rogers- Hornsby. He Is the most sought after player in the game today and I believe the St. Louis public should be proud to have him a member of one of its teams. "While his work may not gratify every one all the time, most every one knows that when the season closes his batting will place hlh among the leaders in the game, and his fielding and running and general deportment will be exceptionally good. "And he's a fixture for many years to come. Best of all, In the very hour of the hardest outside pressure to secure his services he said to me that he preferred to stay right here in St Louis."
