As a matter of fact, Rockne has ties of one sort or another that are qualified to bind him to Notre Dame, contract or no contract. Speaking of Notre Dame, those who are close to the team say that while Stuhldreher fully merits the reputation he has recefved for foot- ball brains there is another member. of the Four Horseman group who is equally brilliant and if he goes into coaching bids fair to stand among the highest. The reference is to Elmer Layden, No student at Notre Dame ts bet- ter loved than Layden and there is no more versatile athlete. Besides ng a great fullback, he is a ¢ basketball player, a capable rsity baseball player and an excel- nt dash man. Layden has received many offers to coach, principally from eastern institutions, but there are excellent prospects that he will remain at South Bend “for a year of post- uate study. In such case kne unquestionably will find a great deal of use for him an assistant.

B: IR PLAY. Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune. NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—With the retirement of Benny Leonard from the fighting game, one of the best money getters is lost to the game. ‘The other big money produéer, Jack Dempsey, is also to retire. The financial outlook for boxing, therefore, is hardly better than that of a jerkwater railroad that is losing its best engines and has no way of replacing them. Leonard says he {s retiring tn def- erence to the fears of his mother, whose apprehensions for his safety when he enters the ring are tmpair> ihg his health. It is true that Benny’s mother al- ways worried a great deal when he was in battle but in the past year Benny has not given her much cause for worry in this’respect, as the fact is he has had but one fight and that with a man well below his class, Pal Moran. ‘The truth is that Leonard outgrew the lightweight class some time ago. The process of taking off weight in preparing for a bout has been in- jurfous to his health. It is doubted if there would now be any possibil- ity of his making the lightweight Umit with strength enough left to climb {nto the ring. With Benny out of the game, the sport has lost one of {ts best repre- sentatives. He has always been a credit to boxing, a clean living young man, who devoted most of his time to his family.

Galeries JOHN GLAZNER [ON MARKET Phillies Are Ready to Trade or Sell Pitchers. By JOHN B. FOSTER. Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune. NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—Pitcher John Glazner of the Philadelphia Na- tionals is on the market for anyone who.comes along with a proper of- fer for him. Glazner started off with the Pitts- burgh Pirates three years ago as if he Intended to establish himself among: the topnotchers of the Na- tional league. In 1923, he tied with Babe Adams for the National league leadership. The next year, how- ever, he didn't do so well and Pitts- burgh transferred him. ‘The Phillies were glad to get Glazner as they were in need of hurlers who looked as good, as Glazner did. Since lie, has been with Philadel- phia, Glazner has not had the sup- port on the field that he did in Pitts- burgh and- his pitching disposition has been spoiled. He {s of the type that likes to be a winner. If the Phillies could Sump from seventh place to the top in 1925, Glazner might again become ranking pitch- er in his league. But the Phillies probably wi'l do nothing of the kind. Manager Fletcher would proba: bly not-be averse to a swap by which Giazner could gét to a city in which he would be better satisfied, provid- ed he got in exchange a pitcher who would do a little good pitching for the Phillies. “FLYING FLEAS’ BEAT “GALLOPING IRISHMEN?
