_lTemp{ey Plans to Fight Tw CHAMPION WOULD BATTLE . ON JULY 4 AND LABOR DAY First Bout to Be Somewhat of Conditioning Affair, With Second Real Title Engagement—Meeting With Wills Appears Unlikely. » BY SPARROW McGANN. EW YORK, January 13—Here i plans for the year. He will N s the inside dope on Jack Dempsey's fight twice. The first battle wiil be more or less of a preparatory bout, designed to get him in shape for the second and what may be regarded as the more important fight. It is practically certain that thi s first bout will be held with" Jess Willard on July 4, or rather it is certain that the champion \will be seen in action on Independence day. It might be -t undertake®might so impress the publi ay. The other appearance will be on Labor Willard, in the course of training he jntends to c, and, in. particular, the experts, that the fans would fire up on the prospects of another Dempsey-Willard fight. In thi dence-day Just w the mood of enthusiasm over the idea of a mecting between Juck and Jess. This was made clear to the writer, who has mingled in the vd upon ons thi ek when fllard was intréduced to the fan Cheer and Jeer Willard. ed but their com- ce of any event.

If Jess is sincere Le may ke on some good heavywelght. It ‘s difficult to see how he can bo'ster himself up merely by showing Inj training that he has stamina and en- | durance. H May Never Fight Wills. As for Harry Wills, Dempsey has slgned to meet the negro, and the New York boxing commission can en- force that agreement. Whether it will want to or not is a problem. Jersey has been named as a possible nlace for the bout, but when it comes down to cases the promoters are ikely to find t the bout is not wanted in that state. The chances re that no state will want it. Mixed outs of world-wide interest are ikely to kilf the sport of professional boxing at one stroke. (Coprright BECKETT AND DEMPScY MEET HERE NEXT MAY LONDON, January 13.—Joe Beckett, heavyweight champion of Europe, ex- péets to sail for America next May to meet Jack Dempsey for the world's title. Joe, who is training at South- ampton for his bout with Dick Smith on January 29, admitted today that he had agreed to his end of the Dempsey ar- rangsment, but that in order for him to go through with it thers were a few conditions to be met. Joe explained that one of these condi- tions ‘was that he should demolish Imith, and the other that he beat Car- pentier in their bout scheduled for Lon- | n on May 4. Otherwise the bout is practically assured, as Dempsey would not be averse to clipping the big Briton on his fragile chin. Tt was learned that Tom @'Rourke, | the New York matchmaker, hus signed | Beckett to his conditional contract to | box Dempsey. Just when and where | the bout will be staged, provided Demp- | ey can get enough money out of it to nake it worth while, has not been de- | ided upon.

GERMAN BOXERS BARRED FROM FIGHTING FRENCH By the Associatgd Press. BERLIN, January 13—The Ger- man boxing commission has put the ban on bouts between German and Feench or Belgian pugilists, A boycott of French piuys is being advoented, om the ground that such productlons ure in mockery of German national sent ment. RICKARD DANGLES TITLE BAIT BEFORE LUIS FIRPO NEW YORK, Japuary 13.—Promoter Tex Rickard teday cabled Luis Firpo, South American heavyweight boxing champion, an offer for & match with | either Floyd Johnson of lowa or Bill Brennan of Chicago, to be held about the middle of March at Madison Square den. Rickard promised the Ar- tine pugilist a title bout with J k Demps: eme: *S the tor in this contest. Because of s clean-cut victory over Brennan last night, Johnson is regarded as a logical opponent for the South American. It Is .within the realm of rpossibility, however, that Firpo may take on both Brennan and Johnson before getting his chance at Dempsey. Firpo is expected to reach this coun- try about the first of February. He cabled Rickard -several weeks ago that he was ready to return at aRy time to fight. The South Americon 1s declared to have developed rapidly since his brief, appearance in this country early ‘W&t vear, when knocked out several second and third rate heavyweights. His form then was crude and awkward but he dis- ! played a terific punch and ability to learn the finer points of the ring game. Negotiations for a Willard-Dempsey match, Rickard said. were at a stand- still pending the arrival of the cham- plon’s manager, Jack Kearns. from the Pacific coast. It Was understood. however, that the promoter had wired a definite proposal to Dempsey and that he was ready to stage the con- test, eithe- at Boyle's Thirty Acres. in Jersey City, or at _the New Yankee stadium, in June or July, if satisfac- tory arran~-ments can be made, THREE CHAMPIONS ENTER NEW YORK TRACK GAMES NEW YORK, January 13.—Three natlonal senfor track and field cham- pions, all members of the New York police department, will compete in the annual municipal athletic games to be held Monday st Madison Square Garden.

SHOW HERE ATTRACTS RECORD ENTRY ESTERDAY, the closing date o Y which will be hard to beat in future f entries in the coming show of the Washington Kennel Club, January 26 and 27, completed the largest list in the history of the local organization, and set a precedentl years. Mgre than 800 entries have been recorded, the dogs being of seventy different breeds and varieties and coming from such distances as Montreal, Canada, and Mexico City. Last-minute entrants have swamped the office, so that it aill not be pos- sible to bench all the dogs in the maln hall of the Coliseum, and, although provisions were made ear- lier in the week for added space, it will be necessary to obtain the re- maining side rooms. With the lists now practically com- plets. G. K. Blakely, G. H. Child and Charles A. Watson have set to the task of classifying the. entries and whipping the catalogues into shape. This work, it is estimated, will take at least five days. Many Trophies and Medals. During the past week numerous eups, trophles and medals, together with articles of merchandise, which make up the prizes. have been com- ing into the club offices. Onme of the handsomest of thess is the champion Bally Shannon cup, which has been offered by Mrs. Glenn Stewart, and will be given each year to the best Irish wolfhound, her dogs not com- peting for the award. Mrs. Stewart has named this trophy in_honor of her great dog of that rame, three times winner of the grand challenge cup at the Crystal Palace in London, and admitted to be the best Irish wolfhound ever pro- duced. This dog is, iricidentally, one of the largest of all dogs, standing thirty-nine inches at the shoulder and welghing 185 pounds.

' Local owners of shepherd dogs have made the necessary arrangement for forming ‘8 branch clup here of the Shepherd Dog Club of America, and it understood: that a meeting will ’ge «called shortly for the election of of Miss Margerot Q. Milburn, who.is <ors and to locate & training field. bandlipg the correspondence with the parent club, states that the local branch is to be the first of a system of such branches, which will eveatu- ally cover the country. This system ‘when completed will provide that field meets and specialty shows will be held each year in the territory covered by each branch, and that the winners of these events will go to the big nual show and field meet in New York, after which the champion of the vear in fleld. trials and on the bench will be decided. John A. Downing of Hyattsville, Md., reports that his collle bitch, Captivator Maid Priseilla, AKC 324925, whelped “a litter of eight perfectly marked puppies’ recently. The sire of the litter is Arlingco Aristocrat, AKC 295503, owned by W. E. Seidewitz is a grandson of Champion Knock- layde King Hector, the dog who was without peer as a show specimen, and credited with great power in transmitting his points to his progeny. Hector, after an enviable record at stud in England, was imported to this country about ten years ago. He has been @ prominent factor in producing the show-type collie of today, and his death during the past year was mourned by fanciérs thropghout the country. Frank A. Kerr, owner of the Spee Dee. kennels, announces that his stud dog, Bozo, not yet two years old, has been bred twenty-two times and that %n-y ““S"fn'!" vlro’?dbnrodnctiva e reco er sir: ¥ this doy numbéred thirteen. o5 Frank P.

The |moment a new man was signed the | fans wanted to see him in action at |once, and so did the manager. Arlie showed up in the morning and {playédd in a regular game that after- ! |noon.

The next batter did get a long hit. ]féllhnm could have walked home. Seeing where the ball had gone, though, he started turning hand- springs or flipfiops and turned them all the way to the plate, landing the last time squarely on the rubber. The crowd, according to Sam Crane, {went wild with delight. Latham Now in London, That 1 consider a pretty fresh start {for a voungster. But Arlie didu’t stop there. _He remained fresh throughout his career. He was one of the most amusing characters In base ball—a good plaFer, too, Latham is now rfunning the check- room for coats and hats in_one of the London notels.. Willlam Fleisch- mann, a veteran base ball fan, made this discovery 'of Latham. He walked into the coatroom last year. “My word, if it hain't a_bally Hamerican!” 'some one said behind him. trying to imitate the cockney aceent. Flelschmann turned to face Arlie Latham, just as fresh as ever. Rigid Rule of Semfority. AS I say, I always have had a soft spot in my heart for the fresh young- ster. I guess it was because 1 was that way myself, and I can under- stand them. They don't really mean to be impudent or disrespectful, but enthusiasm and desire for action sim- ply bubble out of them. To kill that spirit would be a fatal mistake. At the same time they've got to be checked and put in their places oc- caslonally. In base ball we have a very rigid rule of seniority among players that helps to cool the youngsters off. For instance, a rookie never gets a lower berth on a sleeper until after all the Tegulars have been so provided. Qne night we were coming from the | training camp in Texas and a fresh young pitcher had been placed in &n upper berth directly under the ceil- ing light of the car. He turned and squismed awhile, but said nothing. The light was directly in his eyes it seemed, no matter which 'way he turned. Objected to the Sunfield, About midnight, when everything | was quiet, the young fellow started calling.to ‘'me. I was in the drawing room with the door open. “Say, Mac,” he called out, “for the love of Mike get one of them outfleld- ers up here. I'm a pitcher. I can't play this sunfield!” 1 guess Henry Fabian is right when he says I was as fresh and cocky as green paint when I showed up there at Cedar Rapids. I thought I had something on the rest of the fellows because I had been to Cuba. The. very first game 1 played for Cedar Rapids was against Anson's Chicago Colts. At that time “Cap” Anson was probably the most famous man in base ball. The Chicago club | was on the way home from a training | trip to Denver. They stopped off and {played an exhibition game with us. Started O With Safety. 1t was the first.time I had played in a class that.I thought I was entitled to. 1 made up my_mind that I would show up’that big-league club, and 1 felt confident that T could do so. Bill Hutchinson, one of the best pitchers ever-turned out by Yale Uni- versity, was pitching for Chicago, and I got the first crack at him—a clean single. $ “Say, old-timer,” I said to the fa- mous “Cap"” Anson as I ran past him. ‘So, that's what you call big leagu pliching, eh? We'll murder that fe ow."” Anson looked at me i astonish- ment. My impudence almost took his breath-away. - You can imagine how. this must have sounded coming from 2 kid of eighteen years and who weighed- but 120 pounds. Anson Saw Hi 2 It. Before the day w#s over I had thrée hot arguments.with the Chi- cago manager, bt finally he saw the ! humor of ‘it and_smiled at me_en- couragingly. I'll “never forget. how good that smile niade me feel. At shortstop I accepted eleven |chances that day and led our team at bat. It was a big day for me. After the game Anson, forgetting my freshness and impudence, said some |nice things about my playing—actu- ;ally asked me how I would Ilke to play for Chicago some time. That went_to my<head immediately. Gee, but 1 was chesty over having at- tracted attention of the great Anson! All thoughts of Three-I League (lllinots, Towa and Indiana) and things like that went out of my head. 1 would be a big leagurer or nothing. Gleawon Got Him a Job.

It doesn't follow, however, that all ball players are accomplished athletes simply because they play base ball well. . There are some ball players who can play golf.” Not in the sense o just going out and swinging at a ball, but they play it like golfers. Heinie leTermau woulg havfi nladie a capital golfer if he had stuck to it and not become mixed with professional base ball, and probab! have been better off.

ANACOSTIA PINSPILLERS LEAD ATHLETIC LEAGUE Two teams are waging a hot battle for the lead in the Athletic Club Bowling League. Anacostia is in front, with a percentage of .§33, to 800 for the Waverlys. Georgetown, Rosedals and Argonne teams are | close up, McCarthy of Waverly has the best individual average, 110.11, with Mec- Gaw second, 110.3 Toomey is in third place, with 109.9. McCarthy also has high set of 397 and best game of 167. Following are the averages: STANDING Saxon s a_tremendous sw the ball exactly as he takes :’:‘E a base ball.

Bender Hus Possibilitien. Chief Bender, who managed Reading, Pa., club last year, possi would make the best of all base bail golfers if you could get him to appix himself to the game. The chict couldn’t grub through golf if he tried He would lose interest in the gam once. He wants to get out on the cour: and play it just as it happens. If he is bunkered, all right. That is part of tho game. He wouldn't stop and study ou a shot to try to keep from being bur- kered if he never played another game, because that would be hard work. It isn't Hkely that he gives as much attention to his golf as he aid to try- ing to master curves and a change of pace, but that was bread nd butter to him and he obsolutely refuses to play golf that way. He gets in and shoots the very bast that he can and he accepts the outcome of the shot with perfect equanimity whether he lands on the green or hits the ball into the rough. If he played golf with any seriousness he might be a cham- pion of eome kind. (Copyright, 1928) RAY TO RACE JANUARY 22.
