4 Floyd Johnson Likely to Upset Brennan : New Orleans Offers Mediocre Racing ST i Which Sport I the Most Popular? YOUTH MAY BE TOO FAS FOR THE VETERAN BOXER Has Shown Much Speed, Something His Rival Has Not Been Able to Combat—Victory Would Be Making of Heavyweight Aspirant. BY SPARROW McGANN. EW YORK, December 16—In heavyweight battle of the N to one of those soit fights that ou ging to tackle I cember 22. preparauen for the most important season thus far—the Bill Brennan- Floyd Johnson setto on January 12—Johnson has staked himself ght to be staged with music. He is talian Jack Herman of New Jersey in Syracufe on De- The big Iowan probably will make short work of the Jerseyman. If he doesn't, he will have no business going against Brennan, There is, however, little doubt that Johnson away in jig time, That wi.l bring him up to Brennan. thinking over that battle. Leo Fly feeling that his big meal ticket is s of the good ones in the past year. The fact that a defeat by the west- erner would mean Brennan's plete retirement, at least as a fop line card, makes it seem certain that his manager would no. have made this match unless he thought Bill had much better than an even chance to dispose of his rival. Brennan May Not Be Fit. No doubt Brennan's experience will stand him in stead and it may well serve to defeat the powerful young- ster. On the other hand, Brennan must have grown soft in his year of inactivity and not even experience will pull a fighter through if the young opponent ls shifty on defense and can hit. ¢ Brennan never has been at his best against a fighter who knows how to move about, and this is at least one thing that Johnson knows how to do. Again, the lowa scrapper has devel- oved a quick left jab, which is some- thing that has bothered Brennan throughout his_career. By beating Brennan, find himself made. He w for such topnotchers as Gibbons. Tun- ney and Greb, all of whom stand in the way of any final meeting with Jack Dempsey. May Change Boxing Head. Among the pugilistic know-ally there is a rgport that there will be a pretty complete change in the New York athletic commission. It is said that Big Bill Edwards, former Prince- ton foot ball captain, will succeed Muldoon and that the rest of the commissioners will be replaced all down the line. Since the job of com- missioner pays nothing, it is difficult to see where Edwards would find it advisable to accept the post, even if it were offered to him. AN in all, it would seem that Mul- doon 1s the right man to watch over Voxing In this state. He is auto- cratic and often too impulsive in his rulings. But no one has ever im- pugned his honesty or claimed that he was actuated by anything other than the best interests of the profes- slon of pugilism. It is stated that Such an act as holding out Dave Rosenberg's share of the receipts be- cause of the foul he committed upon Mike O'Dowd was unwarranted and that it will not stand in a court of law. As to that we shall see, since Dave has started guit. The bumper house at the Madison Square Garden Friday night was not due so much to interest in the fight between Charley White and Ritchie Mitchell as because of the Shugrue- Flores go. Shugrue has leaped into fame as one of the most popular lit- tle fellows that have fought in New York since the days of McGovern. (Copyright, 1922.) CLEVELAND IS TO HAVE NEW HALF-MILE TRACK CLEVELAND, Ohio, December 16.— A modern half-mile racing plant is to e built here, according to an announce- ment today by George E.

PARIS, December 16.—A meeting between Johnny Kilbane and Euzene Criqui for the fratherweight cham- pionship of the world has practically been decided upon, the bout to be held at the Polo Grounds in New | York May 30, next. Criqui's manager, Robert Eudeline, today cabled Jack Kearns, authoriz- ing him to accept an offer from Tom O'Rourke, New York promoter, with a slight modification as to the divi- sion of the gross receipts, which Eudeline feels certain O'Rourke will accept. O'Rourke, who holds Kilbane's sig- nature, offered Criqui 20 per cent of the gross receipts. Eudeline has been holding out for 25 per cent for his man, but now offers a compromise at 221, per cent, leaving all the other details, such as tne motion picture rights, to be debated when he reaches New York. Criqui and his manager plan to_sail for America about the end of Feb- ruary, going from New York to Flori- da, where they will spend March and the first two weeks in April. then moving north to begin training for the meeting with Kilbane NOVEL SCOUTING PLAN 1S PROPOSED FOR PENN A student scouting system—in fact, a school of scouts—which is decidedly something mew in co'legiate foot ball, has been urged at the University of t Pennsylvania_and wi!l be considered by | the Red and Blue gridiron committee at an_early meeting.

The pop- ularity of a game is better shown by the number of players than by the number of lookers-on. There are four different answers to this question.

They had to devote much time directing their pin setters in getting the drives ready on the second floor. These were thrown open at 8 o'clock. By that time the after-din- ner crowd began to arrive and the place was thronged. ‘As an opening featuré, prizes were given for the highest score rolled each hour on each of the forty alleys. onlookers had a chance to witness bowling worghy of a tournament. Many of the fair sex were on hand, due to the twin lure of a box of candy and the chance to make a strike on the brand-new, glistening alleys. The King Pin cannot complain of not getting away to a splendid start. Reports are prevalent that the prop- erty housing the Sherman billiard and bowling alleys had been sold. Vice President Wine, however, said that nothing definite had yet been done. He said a deposit had been made on the offer for the property, but that is as far as the proposition had gone. In the report of the match between the Rathskellers and Terminal Ice teams Friday night a mistake crept into the line-up. *“Reds” Morgan, bowling second with the Icemen, was only in the first game, Capt. Blick taking his place in the last two games. Never has a match between two leading teams of the District League furnished as many thrills as that be- tweem the champion Rathskellers and the Terminal Ice, rolled Frida: in which the former retained the lead by_taking two games out of three.

BIRNEY has just returned from Baltimore, where she has been quite successful in soliciting entries and special prizes for the Washington show, January 26 and 27. The Maryland Kennel Club has always rendered fine support to the local show, and this year will be no exception, since Baltimore fanciers have contributed liberally for specials and have promised a large entry, particularly in Airedales and Pekingese. Local fanciers, as_ well as club members are enthuslastic over the show prospects, everything pointing to a record entry. Mrs. R. H. John- ston, chairman of the committee on special prizes, has practically com- pleted her work for the premium list which goes to press on December 19, and large cash prizes as well as many suitable articles of merchandise are to be awarded to the winners In the various breeds. Aspin Hill Kennels annexed a spe- cial prize with Aspin Hill Debutante at the specialty show for Boston ter- riers, at Providence, R. L, on Decem- ber 5. Competition was very keen in the class of light-weight bitches, in which she was entered. kad 167 entries this year, running second to the big show in Boston and topping the New York specialty show by several entries. Former members of the Boston Ter- rier Specialty Club of Washington are holding a meeting on Monday night in the office of Dr.-William P. Collins, at 2130 P street, for the purpose of reorganizing and electing officers. It is understood that the new club plans to hold a specialty show some. time in the spring. ks Frank P. Leech reports the sale of his winning bull terrier, Newcoin Privateer, to Alexander Harring of New York city.

Davis has long been recognized as a com- petent authority in judging these events. Maryland Kenmel Club will hold a sanctioned all-breed show in Balti- more on December 28. Many local exhibitors are expected to attend, and J. Allen Hoffar of this city has been asked to judge fox terriers, bull ter- riers and Irish terriers. The entry fee at these small shows is 25 cents, and no prizes are offered, it ®eing considered more of a social affair, and simply a means of com- paring the dogs. The Maryland club has fostered this idea for a long time, and as many as fifteen such shows are often staged in a year. Mrs. Glenn Stewart of the Shere- ham Hotel, who has a kennel of Irish wolfhounds at 204 22d street, is plan- ning to move the dogs to her estate near Annapolis as soon as the kennel there is completed. Among the dogs in Mrs. Stewart's kennel is Ch. Bally Shannon, KCSB aa567, an Imposing animal, standing thirty-seven inches at the shoulder and welghing 185 pounds. This dog, three times winner of the grand chal- lenge cup in England, is declared by experts to be the best the breed has ever produced.
