TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1925 World Results By Leased Wire DEMPSEY ASPIRES TO BUSINESS LIFE; PARTING OF WAYS AT HAND Championship and Money Brng Him to New Ambition and Kearns Will Be the One to Lose Out By FAIR PLAY. (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune.) 7” NEW YORK, Feb. 3—Whether Jack Dempsey and Jack Kearns have come to a business parting of the ways, there is no doubt in the mind of a person who knows both men that they parted long ago in tastes, habits of life and ambitions. Kearns today is what he always has been—a prize fight manager, shrewd, courageous to the limit and wise to all the ways of the trade. No promoter and rival manager ever had or ever will have any chance of putting anything over gn the Doe. ’ Dempsey, on the other hand, is not what he used to be, that is to say, not a pugilist pure and simple, with a pug’s outlook on life. When he got to be champion and met men he never had a chance of meeting before, he developed a burning am- hition to be like these men. In the old days. he loved to fight for the sake of a fight and would battle with anyone. Later—as he acquired various tastes and ifnclinations and amb!- tions, he came to look upon fight- ing merely as a means to and end. INORS CARRY LEAGUE POINT Option Player’ Limit Will Be Fixed At Eight, Report By JOHN B. FOSTER. (Copyright 1925, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—The minor leagues, it appears, have won their point about the optional player limit being fixed at eight. If it is fixed above eight, it will be with the con- sent of the minors and not because an arbitrary order places the limit on any number that may be deemed best by any one official in baseball. This question of optional players {s one of the most vital that con- fronts the minor leagues. It has been their contention, whenever the sub- fect of the draft and the placing of players by the majors has been brought up, that the majors, little by little, are extending thelr control over too great @ proportion of the available baseball material. Recently some of the majors have been plac- g as many as 15 players in the minor ledgues “‘on option.” When Commissioner Landis assum- #4 office, the minors declined to ac- capt the draft. Since then, all the class AA circuits have agreed to a modified draft. Meanwhile by author- imation of the commissioner, the 15- player option limit has been brought into being. The draft plan, however, provides for the farming out of only eight. It is that fact which has raised partiqular Ned ever since the Hart- ford meeting and the minors, fight- Ing for a principle, are eaid to have been assured that they will be met in joint convention of some sort at which it will be agreed just how many players may be put out with a string, and. that the agreement will be kept. This is the point for which the mi- nors have been contending and there is no reason in the world why their wishes should not be granted, They have fully as much right to get into the player business as thetr big brothers, who wish to absorb all the Nigh class play! cam The 1925 the American Association will be opened with a 250-mile cham plonship contest at Culver City Washington's birthday a “Moet’ me at the Smokehouse.” ces He AB se ER ee The new home of the Dallas Ath letle Club, constrpeted and equlpped At at cost of over $2,260,000, will be. ready for opening in iI . > conntless diversions Chicago's sre teadiy nocesst dle from the Belmont.

Breximostny, Manager AM ROAD AT BELMONT Chacage se | and Yal The cheers of the crowd he ap parises at their precise value. Loud tho they may cheer him in his yie- tories, he well knows they would cheer louder for a man who stowed him away. Dempsey has a retentive memory and when he began to apply it in the acquisition of general know. ledge he made rapid progress. No man who knows something that Jack does not know, yet wants to know, escapes frém the champion without any exhaustive irterroga tion. In this way and by reading, Demp- sey has practically made himself over. He wruld ike to be a busi- ness man with all the respect and Prestige that comes to a citizen en. &aged in the constructive things of life. He detests the theater and has no love for the Ife of a movie tor, He will undoubtedly enter upon a business life in the near future and it remains to be seen how well he will get along without the assistance of Jack Kearns’ clever and versatile mind. But tt looks as tto Ki , Demp- sey and company would figure in at least on more bout. Thé Gibbons bal- lyhoo has been so, loud and persis- tent this past week that no other conclusion 1s possible. 1. Dempsey says he will marry and not fight agan. 2. Gibbons lays claim to the championship title. 3. Dempsey starts up enraged, asking who this is who thinks he can grab his title without fighting for it. And so On and so on until the dear old publio is all steamed up to the $27.50 ringside seat notch, pee LINGOLN-WASHINGTOW BASKET TEAMS.

PHILLIES PIN HOPE TO EIGHT NEWRECRUITS First Division Place Is Now Goal of Fletcher PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Feb. 3—By The Associated Press)}—Hopes of the Philadelphia Nationals, rising from 4 chronic second division team, this year, lie in the ability of the eight players who have been obtained to strengthen the club, From the Waterbury team of the} Eastern League came Yordy, out- fielder, Metz, shortstop, and Ulrich, pitcher. Walter Kimmick was ob- tained in a trade with Los Angeles. The south furnished Huber, third baseman, and “Chicken” Hawks, a first baseman. Fillingim and O'Neil both former Boston pitchers also will report. Manager Arthur Fletcher so far has released three players who were with him in 1924, Pitchers Philip B. (Lefty) Weinert and L. Pinto and Andrew Woehers, a third baseman, The Phillies: finished seventh last sSeason,»but Fletcher believes he has assembled a squad for the 1925 race which will edge into first division. The team has been hadicapped by weak pitching. Present indications are that Wal- ter Holke will appear again at first base, and Horace Ford is assured of his post at second with Heinie Sand filling his accustomed position at shortstop. Thitd base {s a question, with the prospect that Russell Wrightstone will be*shifted to the outfield, leaving Huber and Kim. mick to fight for the place. Harry Harper wil) be in right field and Cy Williams, home run hit- ter, expects to resume his duties in center, ‘Wrightstoneg) undoubtedly will play left. Fletcher has a capable trio of catchers in Wajter Henline, Jimmy Wilson and Lou Wendell and the pitchers remaining from the last campaign are Jimmy Ring, Charley Glazner, Johnny Couch, Jeo Oesch- ger, Harold Carlson and Clarence Mitchell.

FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Feb. 3.— (United Press)—Paris promoters promised to advance Johnny Dundee $3,000 of a $5,000 purse ten days before he was to fight Fred Bretonnel, a French featherweight. The promoters didn't do it, Dundee pulled out. “Smart fellow, Dundee,” Broad- way sald. ¢ Tom Gibbons went to London on a promise that he would be given $40,000 to fight Jack Bloomfield. A week before the fight Gibbons and THE SUCKER AND THE WISE GUY AS PLAYED! knew that he couldn't get all his money. “Well, what can you give me?” Gibbons asked when he was told t he couldn't get his purse. You can get $15,000" he was told. Gibbons fought and he didn't get that much. “Sucker, Gibbons !s,"" Broadway said, and gave him the laugh. Between Gibbons and Dundee i{t {s a question who laughs last with the best laugh. Gibbons left England with cheers. “There's a real sportsman. We thought Americans were: dollar squeezers. Gibbons is not. We have learned something about Amer- icans,” the London press comment- ed. Dundee had to sneak out of Paris. He avoided being taken off the boat only because of a technicality. He has been sued in the courts and an appeal has been made for his per- manent disqualification by the few recognized hoxing organizations. It makes little diffeeence to Broad- way what London and Paris think about A.serican fighters, The razz- berry handed to him by Paris may not disturb the happiness or,affect the future prosperity of Dund He gave up Burope once to make his home here. Perhaps he never wants to go back to Europe, The tribute that London paid to Tom Gibbons will not Le considered when the butcher bills have to be paid for the five bouncing little Gibbonses, but the sportsmanship of their father will mean something to the Gibbonses if they ever go to London and Paris and it is quite likely that the five Mttle fello’ will some day want to see the lakes and*the hills of Erin that has such a Warm place in their father’s heart.
