Denny McMahon, who was Louis (Kid) Kaplan’s manager in his home town in Bridgeport, is the present nominee. When a fighter makes good in his old home, his thoughts naturally turn to New York and nothing will satisfy him ur‘t! he makes a trip to the metropolis and learns, with re- gret, that nobody ever heard of him and that his services are not in de- mand. But sometimes a metropolitan manager who happens to see some- thing in the lad comes up and prom- ises to put him over. Which he may do or may not dg. Often, however, he does and then it ts goodbye to the ‘manager in the home town who brought the fighter out. You can count on the thumbs of your hands the boys who have made and stil have the same home Wh managers. The New Yorker us- ually begins with a share of the youth's earnings and finally winds up with the total. The news that Denny McMahon jas returned from the west coast thout Kaplan recalls a cenversa- tion held with Denny last winter. Asked why he gave up such a good Prospeet as Kaplan, he replied that the kid's heart wag set on boxing in the Madison Square Garden and that Monteith could do that for him. Throughout the winter, Scotty cut into some julcy purses that Kaplan commanded in his home state and mind you, genial Denny did all the work and got less than half his us- ual bit. Then the featherweight tour- ney came along, Kaplan was named through no work. of Montelth's and now that the Bridgeporter ts cham- pion, Monteith has Him and McMa- hon is out. McMahon {s the type of man who does not belong in the boxing game. He likes Kaplan so well and is so anxious for him to make good that he's quite willing to suffer him to go to Monteith, who will, of course, skim the cream.

(rRom +H RWERHEAD 5) REVIEW RITOLA AND JOIE RAY BREAK RECORDS IN NEW YORK MEET; NURMI SLOW AS TWO-MILER NEW YORK, Feb. 25, (By the As- sociated Press).—Three world rec- ords were established last night ‘at Madison Square Garden but Paavo Nurmi, flower of Finland, had none of them. To Willle Ritola went the cheers, for the Finnish-American A. C. star took upon his shoulders the burden that Nurmi was to have borne, the 5,000 méter event, and established new times for the full distance and for three miles. Jolie Ray of Chicago, set a mark of his own in the 1,000 meter run, a distance raced indoors for the first time, Ray conquered Willie Good- win of the New York A, ©. Nurmi ran two miles for a me- @ocre showing, his 9:14 1-5 appear- ing slow against previous perforfif ances. The Finn was about 17 sec- MAGNATES onds behind the record he establish: ed here 10 days ago when he ran the distance under nine minutes, ne of the most interesting con tests of the meet, which furnished funds for the building of Cathe dral of St. John the Divine, was that between Phil Granville, Can- adian Walker, and Ugo Frigerio of Italy, Olympic champion. Granville won, calling seemingly inexhaustible reserve whenever the Italian threatened throughout the mile and a half. The new records follow: Distance, three miles; time, 15; “rie by Ritola; former 14:01 2-5; held by Ritola. Distance, 5,000 meters; 15; made by Ritola; 14:31; held by Ritola.

FARRELL NEW YORK, Feb, 25.—(United Press)}—Ban Johnson's suggestion that pennant-winning teams be pro- hibited from making a spring exhi- bition trip together has resulted in numerous protests from within and without the basebaj! farhily, John- son's suggestions always have a way of arousing eriticlsm from certain quarters, yut in this case the protest was more general. In making his suggestion, Johnson sald that tt Would cheapen the world series and decrease interest in the real fall series, Perhaps he ts right. He doesn't want baseball cheapened and neither do the club owners, be- cause the only way baseball can really be cheapened has always been avoided carefully by the magnates. The price of tickets remains the same. Perhaps Johnson is right that a spring world's series played between the major league champions would not be good for baseball. No one who is familiar with the ways of baseball players would think that the players would be as keen for vic- tory on an exhibition tour as they are in a world’s series when about $4,000 a piece, representing the dif- ference between a winner's and los- er's share is at stake. A long serles of games might result in somo hip- podraming. Players have grumbled e the club owners found th could pick up a lot of money by engaging in a flock of exhibition games on the way north from the spring training camps, ‘The p! get nothing for their labor and the hops from town to town are not de- signed for comfort or convenience. No player {s going to risk an injury in an exhibition game that might put him out for the season or end Nis career in the big leagues. The players awo may ask why two cham- pion teams should be permitted to play an exhibition series when pen- nant winners are not allowed to barnstorm as a team tn the fall, when they could make some money for thempelves. There fs a «My argument being advanced that baseball belongs to the public and that the residents of towns far distant from the big time elreults have a right to see the champion teams in action. When did baseball ever belong to the public and what of it? Baseball belongs to the major league club owners, They make the rulea and set the prices. Club owners like to make the pub- lic bélieve that baseball is the p: ple’s game, but yau go up to the ticket office before a game and ask for a ticket to see your game, but be sure and duck fast when you do it. The club owners do not arrange apring exhibition trips as a mission. ary idea, They do ft for the money they can gét out of It and you can't blame them for that, but they ought to admit it and not hide behind sen- timent, Johnson may have advanced the suggestion as a subtle dig at Com- missioner Landis beonuse the Com: missioner gave his consent to the Giants and the Senators when they wero making their plans, Major league teams do not have to get the commissioner's permission tg ar: range exhibition games under ordi- nary circumstances, but it was a new idea to continue the world’s serles in a long spring schedule. Spring exhibition games are a haz- ard both to the players and the ol owners. Several bad accidents have happened in the past. The case of Check Fewster {s well re- membered. Fewster came up to the New York Yankees as one of the most promising youngsters developed in years. He was a sensation in the training camp and he gave every promise of being a wonderful player. In one of the exhibition games against the Brooklyn Robins he was hit on the head by one of Jeff Pfet. fer's fast balls and almost killed. He never has been much of a player since then. Pitchers complain that too much bearing down in the early games bring on sore arms that sometimes last during the entire season and re- duce their effectiveness, After m bad season, magnates are then not in the humor to listen to an applica- tion for an increase In salary, Fans in the southern cit not be as interested {n watching t! major league teams as the club owr ers seem to believe.

Til den, King of nearly all~he has sur: veyed in the tennis world over the past five years, occupled a position where various outside interest may affect his 1925 eampaign. Although victorious in his fight to remove any question of professlonalism from player-writing, ‘Tilden — still faces some kinks In his status as a result of newspaper work in to which he {s devoting more time than before to motion pictures in the drama, However, Tilden 1s expected not only to attempt’ to carry off tho ican tennis crown for the sixth r, but again form a main link in the Dayis cup defense. In the thick of another fray, the tall Philadelphian will be a favorite to emerge at the top, In spite of such obstacles in his path as-the-yeteran William Johnston, and Vincent Rich- ards, who looms as Tildep's most dangerous rival. Richards gave the champion his stiffest battle in 1924 and if he improves as much this year as he did last, may reach the peak. These three again dominate the field, though a formidable crop of young talent is coming forward rapidly. Tilden has fought his way to the top and held it against all attacks by. a remarkable combination of con- centration, confidence and tireless physique. He has an uncany abili- ty to pull himself out of the most threatening situations. Few keener studgnts of the game have ever trod the courts than the 32 year old title holder. Tilden first won the nationai singles crown in 1920, after twice be- ing runner up. Since then he has held nearly every important title here and abroad, {neluding world's champion victories at Wimbledon in and 1 He and Johnston brought the Davis cup, emblem: of team suprem Ita in 1920.
