Ringmen Annoyed by Charges of Luis, Who Made No Complaint at Time of Bout. By the Associated Press. UENOS AIRES, November 19.—Luis Angel Firpo, the Argentine B heavyweight fighter, arriving home last night from his unsuccess- ful quest in the United States for world championship honers, told the large crowd that greeted him that although he had been promised justice in his fight with Jack Dempsey, justice was denied him. Firpo praised his seconds in the championship fight, particularly Horatio Lavelle, who, he said, was forcibly held back when he attempted to cnter claims of fouls during the fight. He added that although prior to the fight William Muldoon, chairman of the New York state athletic commission, promised him that it would be a fair fight and he would get justice, justice was denied him. Firp was on the floor only eight seconds. Firpo's first words constituted a disclaimer that he had The step he had taken that led to the be- become an American citizen _ lief he sought American citizenship hension, he declared. 4 All he had done In the prize ring, ' lie added, had been done for the Ar-| gentine, and that he would do | hereafter would be for the honor of | his native la To the Associated Press Firpo said | he expected to get into communiea- | tion shortly with Tex Rickard regard- & his next fight, which would take | place In the United States.

SOUTH BEND, Ind., November 19.— Two Notre Dame foot ball players will be out of the game for the re- mainder of the season as the result of injuries received In the contest here with Butler Saturday.

' 1 DEFENSIVE ENDS STAY BACK WHEN EXPECTING— OOOE SHORT PASS Under what_circumstances, if any, should the defensive ends stay 'back and not cross the scrimmage line? Anewered by HUGO BEZDEK The ends may hesitate and pos- sibly not cross the scrimmage line if they feel quite sure that a short pass or a kick is to be the next play used by the offense. In the case of the short pass their function is to take an offensive half out of the play or to break up the pass after it is thrown.

S. and Great Britain by North American Newspaper Alliance. All rights reserved.) NO. 13—THE NAME OF SPALDING. The name Spalding is known to every boy in the country—but probably as head of one of the large sporting goods houses, not for the many things for which he is known to base ball history. He was one of the veterans of the game—a brilliant pitcher in his younger days, an-ardent reformer of the game at periods when dis honesty came near swamping it. Consult the records and you will find that A. G. Spalding, from 1872 to 1876, while playing on Boston and Chicago teams, was the idol of the pitcher’s box. The small town usually holds the big player. Scouts have to be looking in unexpected corners. Had such a scout appeared at Rockford, IlL, he would have sent a telegram to his boe§, saying, “The Forest City Base Ball Club has a wonder here pitching.” Spalding :hus put his team on i i NINE BROTHERS WIN | BASE BALL PENNANT By the Associated Press.

But he did so at great expense of time, which meant that his salary in a grocery store was docked. He finally went over to Chicago on the promise of a sort of position which would not interfere with his ball play- ing, but he was there only a short time. This was in 1867. He played with the Excelsior Club only one game. Then his “good ange!” failed in business, and Spalding hied back to Rockford. He took the Forest Citys on a pearance in Boston there came the Spalding luck and skill for Boston. Their winning became monotonous. His 1874 experience in England is told elsewhere. Going over to Chicago with W. A. Hulbert, Spalding helped that city win the pennant in 187 was after this that Spalding's time was mostly taken up in the reform movement for the salva- tion of the game.

EW YORK, November 19.—Jack Kearns has sent word to the writer that, in his opinion, reports that Jack Dempsey will take g on Tommy Gibbons—or any one else—in an indoor show this win- ter are greatly exaggerated . This confirms a very strong doubt that thoughtful persons have en- tertained concerning Whitelight talk about a coming championship battle in' Madison Square Garden. Why should Dempsey. fight Gibbons within walls where the seating capacity is limited and $25 is the top price, when he could meet the.same man outdoors in a park holding at least ten times ?s many persons as could be assembled in the largest structure in the and. Gibbons has not been heard from but if he doesn't figure it out the same way he and Eddle Kane, his manager, have degenerated from keen business men into fighting fools. As a matter of fact, so far as the blg time .artists are concerned the winter is likely to be compartively dull for reasons set forth. Heavies who are seeking a place in the sun, who through their work this winter wish to catch the promotorial eye and thus be lined up for lucrative al fresco engagements. It all means a curious transforma- tion in the boxing game but it iIs a natural one since one can blame either’ promoters or fighters for fall- ing for the million-dollar outdoor stuff as against the lesser earning power of the shows within walls.

In 1871 Spalding went to Boston—a thor- ough professional by this time and a member of the National Association of Base Ball Players. The game was still crude, even in 1873, and a rule had to be made forbidding a player to catch a fly in his hat or cap. With his ap- man may be a prophet in his own country, for Spalding had fought hard and continuously to free the game from gambling, drinking, trust methods and illegal traffick- ing. In 1911 he published a most entertaining account of “Amer- ica's National Game.” Tomorrow: The Empire of the Umpire. AYED WITH. HES THE SECOND FROM THE LEFT, STANDING. OF BOSTON.

It was on no less a team than the old Bashfuls, in the heyday of its power, from 1882 to 1884, that Mr. Winkleman used chunks of raw seefsteak under old kid gloves to receive the fast ones from Biever Keithley, famous pitcher of that day. “In those days we never used gloves until 1 tried out beefsteak,” said Mr Winkelman, who has been with the city post office since 1891 as carrier and clerk.
