FISTIC KINGS OF U.S. FIND LITTLE CHARM ON EUROPE'S SHORES
By FRANK G. MEXKE
Europe seems to possess no clinging charms, for the. most noble of our mitt wiRglers. " The visits which our champs have paid to the other side recall the old Jig-saw about the guy who "walked right in. turned around, and walked right out again." A trio of our crown beaters have Jaunted to foreign shores, exuding the idea that it would be a long, long time before we'd see them again. But the first two did little other than to take a sniff of European ozone and then sail right back again. And you know about the third one Jack Dempsey, who left on April 11, to be gone "indefinitely." It may be recalled that the first of the invaders was Johnny Buff, who sailed away last winter with the idea of taking a "long vacaton in Europe." The bantam champ, without explanation, was back almost on the same boat." One John Kilbane proceeded to Europe in March after the most elaborate of press agenting. One was informed that the feather champ was going to linger in England, France, Ireland, Italy, Spain and other spots until it was time for autumn leaves to flutter to the earth. Comes Slipping Back. But a month later, a sleepy-eyed reporter saw a familiar form Blipping down the gangplank at a New York pier. Johnny Kilbane, who had spoken much of contemplated weeks and months in Old World climes had come back. And without a word to explain the abbreviation of the trip. It's a well known fact that not one of the three world's champions brought tack a dims from European shores! How vastly different have been the happenings to foreign fighters who came here! Jimmy Wilde didn't do an awful lot of battling in America and never showed anything spectacular when he did display his wares. Yet the flyweight from Great Britain steamed back to his native heath enriched by perhaps 75,000 American dollars. Then there was Georges, the Carp, kingpin "go-get-it" kid of the universe. Makes Good Haul. Georges Jaunted over, looked around and picked up about $200,000. Then he hurried back, stored away the treasure and came back for another load. America handed it to him. As a climax, the French" flash was given $200,000 to go less than four rounds with Dempsey.All of which should convince the average fighter and fight manager, who considers him self a smart citizen in money matters, that, after all, he's Just a bohunk in comparison with Europeans. Wilde, in a few months here, gathered in more money than Johnny Buff has earned in his whole fighting lifetime. And Buff, who thought Europe might reciprocate in the matter of money handouts, to fighters, didn't get anything in Europe except a loud and echoing "razz." Rakes In Profit. Carpentier, who probably didn't earn $150,000 on all his fighting years, came to America and was paid more money for about 11 minutes of pussy footing than Bill Brennan, Harry Wills, Tom Gibbons, Gene Tunney and Han Greb have earned in their combine! ring careers. It becomes more and more apparent that what Barnum said applies to America alone that it doesn't include Europe. And it likewise seems that if you're a fighting dub and want to make big money you need do but this: Go to Europe, claim it as your home then come over to America and announce you're a fighter looking for work.

SGHAEFER UNDISPUTED BILLIARD CHAMPION
(By Associated Press.) CHICAGO, May 19. Young Jake Schaefer today is undisputed world's champion at 18.2 ibalk line billiards and i3 assured of retaining his title at least until next fall. The son of the late "Wizard Jake," once a national billiard idol defeated Walker Cockran last night 500 to 414 in the final block of their titular match, giving him a total of 1,500 to 1,333 for the contest. When Schaefer won the title in the national tournament last fall from Willie Hoppe- there were some who doubted that he really was the best in the world. But the youngster proved his mettle by defeating Hoppe in a return march of 1,500 points and now with Cochran, conceded to be the third best out of the way, Schaefer's path is clear. He will meet Roger Conti, French champion, next fall, but he re cently toured with Conti and easily beat him in exhibition matches.

McGUIRES ALL. But not related, are the three lads who have played a conspicuous part in the athletic activities of the University of Chicago during the last three years.

"Chuck" (christened Charles L.) is the brilliant tackle who was placed on practically all all-western elevens last fall and on several all-American teams. He has starred at that position three years. The guarding of Charles W. ("Bill) McGuire has been one of the outstanding features of Chicago's basketball team's work for two winters. Johnny McGuire is the last of the triumvirate to break into fame. He is a brilliant performer with the Chicago baseball team this spring. He's a brother of Tom McGuire, who played at one time with the White Sox and Chicago Federals. Altogether the name of McGuire is being well upheld in Chicago U.

CARDINALS DEFEATED BY VANCE'S CURVES (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, May 19. Dazzy Vance's curves and Dutch Ruethers pinch hitting prowess enabled the Superbas to defeat the Cardinals of St. Louis,. 7 to 5, in the only major league game untouched by rain. The Brooklyn club, dissatisfied with second division company, started well, but Ainsmith bounced a homer into the right field bleachers in the sixth with a man on the paths, and the Cards took the lead. Ruether, batting for Vance, started the eighth inning winning rally, with a two-bagger. The release of Howard Berry to the Indianapolis American association rlub left the Giants with but one utility infielder, Johnny Rawling3. Berry, former star athlete at the University of Pennsylvania, originally was an outfielder but was developed for infield work this spring.

ADVANCING MARKETS FOR WOOL EXPECTED Strong and advancing markets for wool are predicted by J. H. Walker, secretary of the Ohio Wool Producers association, in a letter Just received by the Wayne county farm bureau office. Buyers are now paying from 37 to 40 cents at the Columbus warehouse for three-eighths to quarterblood combing wools, with other prices varying as to quality. An intense buying effort at country points before farmers have a chance to learn of the strong markets is. predicted by the letter, with warning to producers not to let their wools go at less lhan value. "Good wools are scarr in the United States," says Mr. Walker, "and are protected by a tariff which we -think will continue during this season. Every country in the world is showing a strong wool market, with advancing prices, and the same condition in all probability will continue here." The Columbus warehouse, which 13 under the management of Mr. Walker's organization, will handle Indiana pooled wools again this year, and Mr. Walker requests immediate orders for wool sacks. One sack will hold about 25 fleeces.
