WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY World Results 11, 1925 By Leased Wire PEARL WHITES EASY WINNERS OVER STANDARD QUINTET IN OPENING OF TITLE PLAY HERE __ The Pearl Whites toyed with the Standards in the open- ing game of the finals in the Casper Basketball league last night and decisively defeated the refiners by the score of 34 to 20. Unless the Pearl Whites become careless they look to have the championship in moth balls. The laundrymen were going in high last night, their teamwork, ‘passing and floor work having fiaproved with every. game during the season. Jack Neff was, as usual, the high scorer with six baskets, but he was closely pressed by Fritz Layman with five. Jack Clowry, at guar, managed to toss tour through the ring. Bill Rae led the Standard in scor- ing with four baskete, with Rynalski and Erickson right behind him. The Standard played their regular brand of close guarding, fast passing game but they were outclassed by the Pearl Whites. In the opener the Methodists were forced to the limit to hang defeat on the Salt Creek quintet, finally emerging a 32 to 30 winner on a shot by Mechling. Traylor led in scor- ing for the winners, while Crooir- brook and Crimbrow kept the sub- urbanites in the running with their scoring.

LOUIS, Mo., Feb. 11.—(By The Associated Press)—Satisfaction over the action of club owners in adopt- ing legislation to prohibit spring training exhibition tours in the fu- ture between contestants of previous world series, was expressed by Ban Johnson, president of the American lague tday. These games such as the Glants and Senators have scheduled for this spring are damaging to the sport and have a tendency to cheapen the an- nual classic of baseball he sald. The American Leaguers yesterday voted to end the practice, but the extensive tour of the Giants and Sen ators a'ready arranged will not be cancelled. Because of the opposition in con- gress, the offer to build a $100,000 monument to baseball in Potomac Park, Washington D, C., was with- drawn by club owners. It has been proposed to erect the monument and enscribe thereon the names of the most valuable players in the Icague selected annually. Under the plan adopted by the American League and previously adopted by the National League, the first, second, sixth and seventh games of the 1925 world’s series wi'l be played in the national League City, winning the pennant. Games three, four and five will be played in the Ameircan League City. The following year the series will open in the American, League.

FAMOUS PARDNERS OF RING, KEARNS AND DEMPSEY, QUIT BY HENRY lL. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Feb, 11—Jack Demp. sey’s retirement from the ring. which {s bound to come soon, will break up one of the most famous partnerships that have been known to sports. The champion has an- nounced that their partnership will dissolve on May 20. Dempsey's rise from hobo to a millionaire heavyweight champion of the world is as romantic a stury as cou’d be imagined by a fiction writer, and with him on most every step of the journey was Jack Kearns There are a dozen who claim to have been the discoverer of Jack Dempsey. There are a score who boast that they had a part in turn- ing him from a novice into one of the finest pieces of fighting machin- ery the ring has ever seen. But Dempsey graciously admits that it was Jack Kearns who give him his real start and who picked the way along the hard road that brought fame and a million dollars to each of them, It 1s not generally known that {t was Eddie Kane, who hasn't spoken to Kearns fpr years, who introduced Dempsey to Kearns. Dempsey was looking around for a manager and Kane told him he didn’t have time to do his business for him. He was engaged in a lot of other promotions at the time and wasnt doing much with boxing. Kane and Kearns were friendly then and Kane suggested to Dempsey that he hook up with Kearns, who didn't have any good fighters at the time. Something happened that caused Kane and Keasns to fall out and they never have made up. When ne tiations were being earried on in Chicago for the Dempsey-Gibbons ght in Shelby, Kane was on one te of the hotel and Kearns was on another. Kane refused to talk to Kearns and the promoters had Do you know you can obtain the NUS PENCIL with RUBBER END (from 4B to 9H) Famous for its smooth writing qualities—providing pencil luxury and pencil economy. 10¢ each , $1.20 per daz.

Dempsey remarked several times before the Shelby fight —and he meant it too—that it was a crime that Kane and Gibbons weren't going to get anything out of it. Dempsey even suggested, and so did Kearns that something might be done to get the fight away from Shelby before {t was too late, but the plans in mind turned out later to be impractical. Considering the ways {n which the trails all crossed at various times, it is not unusual that the Gibbons-Kane partnership should be the only one that could compare to the Dempsey- Kearns combination.

Numerous attempts have been made in the past to get Gibbons away from Kane and many efforts have been made to sour Dempsey on Kearns, but to all offers to break . Dempsey and’ Gibbons always have replied—‘He’s my.manager and I'm going to stick to him. Kearns may not cut all his con- nections with boxing when Dempsey hangs up his gloves. He may find another good prospect, because there will not bera promising boxer in the game who would not want to have his business done by such a astute hustler as the “Doc.” Demp sey's retirement may not dissolve the firm at all, It may turn the! corporation—they are a corporation —frem a boxing firm into a real estate organization. Dempsey says that he has a mil- Mon Inyested and that Kearns has just as much socked away {n the sround. They are lath interested in the same ventures aryl they may de: cide to stick together, But Kearns wi'l find it difficult te get-away from the ring entirely. The same holds good for Gibbons and Kane, Gibbons will be retiring before very long and it {s known that he and Kane have already made plans to stick toegther as partners in some line that they have not dis- closed. Gibbons and Kane haven't natls play three games in succession on one day? Anuwer—They played three against Pittsburgh October 2, 1920. Cincinnati won two of them, 13-4 and 7-3 and Pittsburgh the other 6-0 in six innings, the money of the world’s champion. ship firm, but they are both well beyond worry. Kane has another great prospect in Sammy Mandell, leading contend er for the lightwelght champlonship, and he has another great lttle ban- tam under cover who is not old enough yet to be tossed into the big time. Jack Kearns, in the handling of Dempsey, turned boxing from an or. dinary occupation in which only the very best got good money into a real profession, where more money was patd for less ability than in any other wolk of life. “If Jack Kearns hadn't knocked the breath out of Tex Rickurd when he demanded $100,000 to fight Brennan in Madison Squ: and {f he hadn't worked Ri me $300,000 for th there would be no big r Johnny Kilbane, wor'd’s featherweight champlor one afternoon during a ling be “Maybe Kearns didn't mean to do {t and maybe he didn't know he was doing it, but when he was fight ing the promoters for purses that were astounding, he was working for the whole fight business and ry one in it. If Kearns didn’t ret those purses no other boxers would be got ting the pay they now gef. Kearns knew that he had something good to sell and he was game enough to de mand his own price, and he always got it.” e Car ev ‘““Big”’ Munn To Meet Zbyszko In K.C.
