Kearns Expects Other Offers. Kearns said, further, that he had received an offer from O'Rourke and expected one from Harry Frazee and; possibly Colonel T. L. Huston, and that, he was simply guaranteeing Rickard that he would not close with any one of these three, or with any one else, in the next six days. To all practical purposes this means that Dempsey will not be signed for a bout before Ieb. 1, although there is noth- ing in the contract which would pro- hibit Kearns and Rickard coming to terms in the interim. Kearns was booked for another conference with Tom O'Rourke yes- terday, but after his agreement with Tex Rickard any conference with/ O'Rourke would have had little pres- ent significance. It has often been said that when Dempsey fights again it will be for Rickard, and the in- ference to be drawn from yesterday's agreement is that the statement is founded on fact. Certainly Rickard is to be given every opportunity to offer Kearns and Dempsey suitable terms. { Rickard would not be specific as to whom he had in mind for the cham- pion's opponents, but he did name four boxers among whom he said he expected to make his ultimate choice. They were Harry Wills, Jess Willard, Luis Firpo and Tom Gibbons. The promoters said that he should like to choose two of these boxers and match them with Dempsey, one bgut to be held next spring, probably in June, and the other some time in the fall. Both bouts, he said, would have to be fought outdoors, because Dempsey had grown to be too much of an at- traction for an indoor bout. Some one suggested that Rickard was referring to Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jersey City, but Tex denied this, adding that he was not even sure that he would try to hold either of the bouts in the metropolitan district and that the eventual site might be anywhere in the United States. Rickard Seems to FPavor Willard, While he was talking Rickard picked up some pictures of Jess Wil- lard which were lying on his desk and called Kearns' attention to the fact that Big Jess looked to be in good condition. ot so fat as you fellows have been making him out to be, is he?” asked Tex, turning to the newspaper men. Kearns agreed that from the picture Jess appeared to be in bet- ter condition than when he Dempsey at Toledo. He said that in a bout between Willard and Tommy Gibbons he would be willing to bet $20,000 on Willard. All this sounded Willard as if met | | cancelled. Colgate to Play Navy At Annapolis, Nov. 3| Annapolis, Md., Jan. 25.—The| three-cornered misunderstanding over the football game between Colgate and the Naval Academy, arranged to be played at Annapolis on Nov. 3 has been settled and the game will be played as scheduled. It will be the big home game of the year for the midshipmen. Lehigh protested against the playing of the game, claiming | that Colgate had agreed to play at Bethlehem on that date. The Navy stated it would not play without Le- high's consent. Lehigh has filled the date with Carnegie Tech. The Naval Academy will play Pennsylvania State, Princeton and Colgate on con- secutive Saturdays, giving it as big a | job as any Colgate team will have during the coming football season.

Tex, however, had a good word | for Tommy Gibbons, calling him the best man in the world at his weight. Evidently Rickard and Kearns do not agree with the New York State Ath- letic Commission that Gibbons is too | small to meet Dempsey, for Kearns insisted that Dempsey could make 182 pounds and Rickard chimed in that| Gibbons' fighting weight is 178, which would make only a slight difference between the two. Firpo's chances undoubtedly hinge on the outcome of his bout with Bill ‘ Brennan in the Garden on March 12. If the South American boxer makes a good showing against Brennan he would be much more interesting as a possibility for a title bout. Until he does prove his ability against the Chicago boxer, however, he cannot receive any great amount of serious eonsgideration as an opponent for Dempsey. This leaves only Harry Wills, the Brown Panther, of New Orleans.

The older courses, comprising some 200,- 000 acres, use an average of 400 pounds a year, while the new links require 5,000 pounds for, the first sowing. Most of the seed used for fairways is bluegrass and redtop, while on the velvety putting greens rarer grasses of the best variety find favor. TOURING MAJOR LEAGUERS WIN, Honolulu, Jan. 26.—(By Associated Press,)—The American major league baseball players visiting here on their return home from a tour of the Orient yesterday won the fourth and final exhibition game against the Wander- ers, 6 to 1.

Blood, coach of Passaic High basketball team, arranged for the Paterson Armory at Paterson for the game Saturday afternoon, when the team will try to register its one hundredth consecutive victory with St. Mary's academy of Ogdensburg, N. Y, as its opponent, Plans are under way now for Passaic to play the teams representing Naugatuck, Conn,, and Butler, N. J,, high schools in a doubleheader on the armory court next Wednesday afternoon. CHILL GETS TWO OFFERS Cleveland, Jan. 26.—Ollie Chill, vet- eran baseball umpire, formerly of the American league, declared today he had received two offers to umpire in other circuits, but he has not decided whether he will remain in baseball. Although President Ban Johnson re- cently announced Chill would not be reappointed, Chill said he had heard nothing official from the head of the American league. , There are glaclers and an ice cap 200 feet thick on Mount Kilimanjare, in equatorial Africa.
