WATCHING HORSES TODAY “Rail-birds” at Belmont 'Track Today Are Anxious to Sec What Papyrus Does With Donoghue Up. New York, Oct. 17.-—Early birds, not the variety that get up to gobble sleepless worms, but who sit along the rails at dawn and ‘“clock” thorough- breds in their workouts, generally aren't sentimentally inclined, but to- day they were keenly anticipating a reunion between horse and man. Steve Donoghue, best of English Jockeys, stepped ashore late yester- day from the Olympic on his inter- national errand. He's to have the| mount on Papyrus, champion English three-year-old, when the derby win- ner faces the barrier Saturday at Bel- mont park with Zev, his American rival, in the $100,000 gallop of a mile “and a half, *“The “clockers,” however, weren't as mueh interested in the affectionate recognition that human and beast would display when they saw ecach other again—they parted last in Eng- land—as they were in the time that | would be shown and the capers that| would be cut when Donoghue put the | horse through a workout. FIRPO ARRIVES IN CUBA Stops Off At Buenos Havana, Cuba, Oct. 17.—Luis Angel | Firpo, the Argentine pugilist, arrived here today, coming by way of K West. He is on his way to Lima, | Peru, where on Nov. 4 he expects to give a hoxing exhibition before pro- ceeding to his home city, Buenos Alres, He will leave here tomorrow | on the steamer Esequibo for Lima. Iirpo had hooked passage on_ the Esequibo from New York, but th¥® ves. sel sailed last Saturday without him.

The Michigan-Buckeye game may develop into an aerial fight, as for- ward passing and plays built about the pass are being stressed in the workouts of both teams. The offensive. equipment of the Towa Hawkeyes is being enlarged, with stiff scrimmages planned for the next two days. Coach Zuppke, Ili- nois mentor, is sorting over material to replace several vacancies in i squad caused by injuries and scholar- ship deficicncjess Scrimmage will be the bulk of his practice program for the week. Signal drills so far have been the principal preparation Wisconsin has made this week for its first confer- ence clash on Saturday with Indiana. conqueror of Purdue last week. Th Badgers have displayed @ weak lin against nonconference teams. Hoosiers are taking extended work- outs under arc light this week. Neighborhood differences will be settled by Northwestern and Chicago, the former anxious to recoup its losses and the latter making its 1923 con- ference debut. Minnesota and Purdue, which take the field against the nonconference North Dakota and Wabash teams, re- spectively, are trying new combina- tions and devoting their time to light workouts.

Chicago,” Oct. 17,—William (Kid) Gleason, manager of the Chicago Americans, today will end the weeks of talk and speculation about what | he will do or what will happen to him |when he walks into the office of | Charles A. Comiskey, owner of the { club, and offers his resignation. The aging Kid made known his | resolution in the club house late yea- | terday after his team had won the | city series, having taken the fourth | straight game after having lost the first two to the Cubs. | Since the formidable White Séx | machine was wrecked in 1920, after | the world series scandal, Gleason has | tried to build up another winning | combination. Last spring he thought he had accomplished something to- | ward that desire, but subséquent in- juries and failure to live up to ex- | pectations shunted the Sox into the | seventh place berth, although at the | season's half-way point the club re- | turned to Chicago after a hard road daunt within one-half game of second | place. | “That fellow's misfortune was what | broke us up,” said Gleason in the | club house yesterday as he pointed to locker' bearing the name of Eddie ‘ollins, stellar second baseman, “The team was never right after that.” Colling was injured at St. Louls July 3, and After that in order came the en- torced absence of McClellan, and Wil- liam Kamm, the third baseman, pur- chased for $100,000, Mickey ;I‘Tav?rgil;;gs It Onto Britisher, T.

OH You DEARGT DARLINGEST' ||, - OLD . THING i MinUTE TJUST WANT SAy MELLO Te VINC HE'LL COME _OVER Thundering down the heavyweight trail comes Sergeant Jack’Renauit of the Canadlan Mounted, big-fisted, square-jawed, oak-hearted. Sergeant Jack is on a man hunt. Tradition assures us that the Cana- dian Mounted always come back with their man. Renault is after Demp- sey, champion of the heavids. To get to Dempsey he is prepared to storm the forbidding outposts as represented by Wills, Firpo and Gibbons, Renault, an unimpressive fourth rater two years ago, has come fast and far in recent months. Joe Downey, who lasted the Mmit with Firpo, was knocked out in three rounds by Renault. Fred IPulton, holder of the hori- zontal heavyweight champlionship of the world, fell before Renault's cease- less hammering in nine rounds. Tiny Herman,, with a rugged dis- placement of 220 pounds, could not stand up before the Canadian's sharp drum fire, George Godfrey, cnormous Ethio- pilan, and rated n to Harry Wills in punching ability and promise, was stopped cold. Not a dazzling array of victims, you say? ‘True. Downey, Fulton, Herman and CGodfrey hardly size up as world beaters. But it probably takes a fair battler to beat them just the same, and two years ago, you'll remember, Renault wasn't even a fair battier. Billy Miske Wnocked Renault out in 13 rounds less than two years ago, and Gene Tunney, light heavyweight, about with incredible hers have whipped him, Others ma$® whip him_in the future, but their task will not be easy or simple. Many fighters have started at a slip-shod gait only to come on later with the sure, confident stride of a champion. Jim Wlynn, ham and egger de luxe, knocked Dempsey out HERE hWE ARE ASr WE AND WIFE W el P Ud ONLY WE RE ] ] - N St ()/ L JACK RENAULT in a round. That was in 1917, Two vears later Dempsey was the cham- pion, Benny Leonard was knocked out twice, first by Joc Shugrue, next by I'rankie Fleming, hoth second raters. Now, Leonard s ranked with Gans and Lavigne as the greatest light- weight in history. All of which proves that you never can tell and even then you can't tell much. Renault, with a local reputation earned in Montreal rings, came to the states two years ago and joined Dempsey’s camp ‘at Atlantic City as & sparring partner. This was his first introduction to big time bat- tling. Dempsey, training for the Carpentier push-over, belabored his ussistants with great fury. Renault says he suffered some and learned much in that camp. Now is fate, glddy old dame, to take Renault, batteréd sparring part- ner, and exalt him to the Dempaey throne? Search us. We happen to recall, however, that Jeffries was a sparring partner in Jim Corbett's camp and that Jeff later won the tile from Jim. SUSP! N MODIFIED Mickey Walker Will Be Barred From New Jerseys For Only Six Months Trenton, N, J.,, Oct. 17.—Tne one year suspension impesed on Mickey Walker of Elizabeth for stalling in a! bout with Jimmy Jones a weck ago, was reduced to six months today by State Comptroller Bugbee, acting as boxing commissioner of New Jersey. Addressing his decision to Walker, Bugbee sald “I take into account the extenuating circumstances surround- ing your injured hands.” The commissioner refused, however, to commuts the yéar suspension from the New Jersey ring imposed upon Jack Bulger, Walker's manager, 1sSNT T WELL BY ED [\WONDER: FuLl| !
