THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, 1ND., FRIDAY, JAN. 26, 1923.

(By United Tresis) NEW YORK, Jan. 26. James J. Corbett, of all the former heavyweight title holders perhaps had the most color, and he still retains it. His extreme popularity has kept him before the public years after he lost his title and has given him a most comfortable living on the stage. - Corbett, Jack Johnson and Jess Willard were at the ringside for a heavyweight contest in Madison Square Garden recently and Corbett was easily the biggest one of the three. Johnson, had he not chosen notority for popularity, might still be a big figure in the ring world. He had a lot of color in his day, but his mistakes ruined him. Willard never was popular. He always was of a sort of sour disposition

and always gave the impression that he was about to bark when he was approached. . His attitude has changed

somewhat since he dropped the title and there may be a reason why he tries to he pleasant now. Jeffries was a hear In disposition and he was never a popular public fignre outside of ring circles. "John I" had a lot of color and so did Bob Fitzsimmons, but they have passed out of the picture. Jack Dempsey might have been the most popular of all the heavyweight champions. He might have made an undying name for himself had he been Inclined differently in 1917. As long as Demprey lives, however, his war record will be held against him and it will go down on the books after he has Vone. ! V A Colorless Lot Taken as a whole, the present bunch of ehampions.are a colorless lot. Dempsey aftd Benny Leonard seem more anxious to become champions of the stage than hero kings of the ring. Johnny Wilson and Johnny Kilbane are faded out from a long period of hiding away from the spotlight. Mickey Walker at present is merely tolerated and not considered as much of a champion, through the general belief that he U to be "teken" the first

time he meets a good welterweight. Joe Lynch had the makings of becoming a popular champion, until he Etarted doing things that his friends bet he wouldn't do. Little Pancho Villa, the flyweight title holder, is the only colorful one of the bunch and he is no eye knocker. He does give a show every time he gets In the ring and he is in there plenty.

Howard Ehmke, lean and lanky right handed hurler, .has been traded. Detroit swapped Ehmke and Carl Holling to Boston for Rip Collins and Rerrill Pratt. For the edification of law abiding

fans who are often puzzled at the why

and wherefore of - these numerous

trades, we are prepared to let them all in ' on the ground floor of this Ehmke deal. There's nothing bad about Ehmke's pitching. He broke even last year, winning seventeen games and losing the same number. He struck out 108 men, all told. Very good, bo far but here is where the shoe begins to get a half nelson on the instep. Ehmke hit 23 batsmen in various sections of

the anatomy last season. He soaked eight more customers than the next highest bird on the "Hit the batter" list Limps and groans were the order of the day after Howard had been on the slab. Arnica and witch-hazel flowed over the opposing team like a pocket edition of Niagara Falls. Several of the boys who felt the little leather bound pellet smash up against a leg or sink in between a couple of ribs played with Boston and returning to the Hub city, were forced to suffer much embarrassment by limping around the hotel lobbies which

were generally filled with good look-N

mg tourists or gais rrom tne stage. Something had to be done and from all appearances they did it. However, this my be entirely wrong.

We're not asking you to take our word for it. Howard may have been intensely fond of baked beans and brought the whole thing about by hi3 own maneuvering of it may have been one of those deals which the Moguls pull off in the front room when not arguing with official statisticians. Anyway, Ehmke goes to Boston, so there you are. The rest of the American league circuit gents are taking a farewell look at the old home town before starting south and with the exception of the

Boston Red Sox, the boys will soon

have a petition before their respective managers demanding galvanized union suits to be worn when Ehmke is pitching.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26. Negotiations

will be continued today between Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, and

several boxing promoters who are anxious to stage several championship bouts with the title holder and seme of his challengers next summer. Despite the six-day option Kearns sold yesterday to Tex Rickard one of the promoters, binding the champion from accepting for a work-week any offer that may be made by other bid

ders for the champion's service, it is

expected that "conversations" will ensue today. Kearns probably will confer with Harry Frazee, owner of the Boston Red Sox and Tom O'Rourke, matchmaker for the club which has a license to stage bouts at the Polo grounds and perhaps, he will see Rickard again

tociay, at any rate a detinue agreement will be made with no one except the Texan. While negotiations are continuing Luis Angel Firpo, the Argentine giant will be preparing to embark for the United States. He will sail on the Southern Cross from Buenos Aires on Feb. 1, and will arrive here about Feb. 19. The welcome with which he is greeted will be far different from that he received when first he came here about a. yea rago. Then unknown in a land speaking a strange language with no one familiar in sporting affairs to

guide him, he made an appearance,!

createa a sensation and fought several bouts with second and third raters, before returning home. Reports from South America are that Firpo is much Improved yn ring ability and capable of taking care of himself when he meets Bill Brennan, the perennial stalking horse, at Madison Square Garden, March 12. When here Firpo demonstrated terrific hitting ability but his crudity was amazing and he stood little chance against a clever man.

. BABE RUTH SMILES WITH REAL DELIGHT NEW YORK, Jan. 26 Babe Ruth's blood pressure went up today and he smiled broader than he has done since the world's series. In the world's series. Babe did not do so well. P.abe accompanied Col. Til Huston, half osvner of the New York Yankees to the new Yankee stadium in the Bronx, where the bambino will spend many afternoons next summer. Together they surveyed the nearly completed amphitheatre. "Say," said the Babe, "Here's one baby who is mighty glad that he is not :t centerfielder, but," he hastened to add. "who's mighty glad he's a batter." The centerfield of the Yankee park extends 65 feet farther than at the polo grounds, which incidentally is to be lengthened. Ruth predicted that many home runs would be made within the Yankee park and that the bank, where the turf approaches the stand, will afford opportunities for many spectacular catches by the gardeners. Ruth plays left field.

v Whitewater Independents Prepare For Knlghtstown WHITEWATER, Ind., Jan. 26. Knightstown independents will face the local independents here Saturday night in an expected hard game of basketball. The visitors are reputed lo have a fast team, composed of some C;')f the best players of Knightstown. ,.V As a curtain-raiser, the Hack-drivers and Farmers will stage their first basketball game of the season, and Ollie Hunt will referee.

The banana persons to be

the Garden

is believed by some the original fruit of

of Eden.

Has a surgeon's knife dimmed thu brilliance of Gene Sarazen? Has it taken from him that delicate and yet amazing power which marks the line between the super-golfer and merely a great one? Less than a year ago Sarazen came from out of nowhere to the absolute

heights of the golfing world. Un

known, unheralded, he entered Into

competition with all the greatest link stars of America and whipped them in fashion so decisive that no alibi was uttered. And then appendicitis attacked the new and wonderful champion. An operation was performed. Sarazen recovered quickly and within six weeks afterward seemed to be as well as ever and as great a golfer. But Since resuming play, the champion has suffered three rather startling reverses. He? was trounced in. match play by Walter Hagen; he was defeated with Jock Hutchinson, as a partner, in a foursome. And, as a climax, hie colors were lowered when he recently played in the California open

i championship.

Question Defeat Cause What's wrong with the youngster who was invincible through the season of 1922?

"It s the operation," Insist his

friends. "Gene recovered from it as perfectly as anyone can recover. But every operation means a nervous shock

to the system. It creates an invisible harm to an athlete whose muscles and whose nerves must be as finely attuned as violin strings.

'Sarazen lost those recent matches

simply because he was a trifle off in his driving; a trifle off in his ap

proach, work; just a trifle off in his putting. There is not with him now the same perfect co-ordnation of mind, eye. nerves and muscle as there was before his operation." If that's the explanation, then the quizz comes: "Will Sarazen ever fully recover or has the operation taken from him that indefinable something which made him greater than the greatest in the season just agone?" . . Do you know there are 2,000,000 sluggers of the noble golf globule in the U. S. A. and that the standing investment in the links, the cost of upkeep and the "operating expenses" of the players approximates one billion three hundred million dollars? The links, clubs and furnishings

total over ?90,00O,O00. The cost involved in link operation and upkeep salaries, and the cost of fertilizer, seeds, trucks for hauling purposes, is

beyond 150,000.000.. At least $100,000

000 has been invested in golf ball3.

sticks and bags.

Then there's $5,000,000 for locker

cost, $15,000,000 for club dues and $40,000,000 for caddy fees making another $60,000,000. . It's estimated that $1,000,000,000 beyond that has been spent by golfers in expenses of traveling to and from the links, in placing the "19th hole" and in sundry other ways that befall a golfer. If Amejica decides to "show" a team of amateur golfers across the Atlantic this year to make a try for the British championship, it's rather certain that such a team would emerge triumphant Fbr right now the U. S. A. houses at least six amateurs who are individually as well as collectively greater

Ltian any array which Gret Britain could marshal. Look 'em over: Chick Evans, Chicago; Bobby Jones, Atlanta; Jess Guilford, Boston; Jess Sweetser, New York; Paul Hunter, San Francisco; S. H. Johnson, St. Paul. If those six were tossed into a battle with England's best, it's a copper riveted cinch that even the jinx which hovers oveT all Americans who compete in England, couldn't halt one or the other from climbing to the golfing throne. The golfing powers have so clearly sdefined the amateur -rule now, that hereafter there'll be no excuse on the score of ignorance for any golfer who goes "wrong." Here's the regulation just adopted: "An amateur is one who after attaining the Sge of sixteen, because of his skill as a golfer, shall not have salary or remuneration, either directly received after December 31, 1922, a or indirectly from- any firm dealing in goods relating to the playing of the garnet (Copyright 121 By Klnsj Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

BETSY BEATS ELKHORN AFTER TOUGH BATTLE Betsy had a tough fight to win out over the Elkhorn representatives in the only Community service basketball game played Thursday night, finally triumphing after a five-minute overtime period, 23 to 17.

Comes now a fan from Hagerstown who states that four of the regular players on the Hagerstown high school team are out of the game on account of illness and that they will be unable to compete in Saturday's invitational basketball tourney at Hagerstown. '

Communication received states in part: "We hope for the best, but if we are incapable to win, we are for Richmond to a fan, if they are the best team. We must welcome them as our guest as we well know that they are a good drawing card. These are the sentiments of the Hagerstown basketball fans. (Signed) A FAN. Game by game we're bound to get a bit better; January will soon be gone, then comes the first of February, which time means that the local high school athletes are going to get down to business in preparation for the big Indiana tournaments to be held this spring. Franklin college is crying that examinations are holding down their athletes from getting the necessary

practice in preparation for the Earlham game Friday night on the Baptist court. They say that other schools have examinations for athletes, too.
