j Dempsey in Training and Eager for a Match With Carpentier in London, EMPSEY could fight Carpentier or any one else on two weeks’ notice. The mpion isn’t ving “soft.” Bvery day Walloping Tack boxes eight and ten rounds out 4m Los Angeles and is always in train- ing. An English syndicate is after Dempsey to engage in a bout on the other side. We learn from a reliable Source the champion has been offered ah amount equalling the purse he re- ceived for the Jersey bout against Carpentier—$300,000. Dempsey frets considerably about the scarcity of op- ponents, but the outlook now looks brighter and because of this his man- ager, Jack Kearns, Js here full of business. “Jack's in fine shape,” began the dapper manager in answer to our query about the champion’s supposed slump in form. “He never felt better and hasn’t slowed up a bit." Kearns added numerous details about Demp- Sey’s routine out in the California sunlight. “Looks very much» like we are @oing to cross the Atlantic,” said the business representative. “Unless something goes wrong Jack's next ‘bout will be in London against Car- “pentier. We received a fine proposi- tion from an English syndicate that "4g eager to promote this match in ‘Londo! m. Personally I don't bélieve a return bout between the champion and Georges would be profitable in ‘this country, but there are a lot of People on the other side who sincerely think Carpentier has practically an even chance of winning from Demp- wey. “Carpentier's showing against Cook ‘fm London recently is sufficient proof he never suffered any permanent harm from the contest in Jersey City last July. Guess Georges had a re- _ turn match with the champion in mind when he gave up plans to come ever this spring and tackle Tom Gib- bons. 6c’ expect to sign very soon with the English Syndicate, : which is composed of mil- Honaire sportsmen. The only hitch is the size of the purse. Boxing is Dempsey’s occupation. He can't be blamed for trying to get all the money he can for his services, After all-| money ts the goal in about every line of business, and we intend to get our share if a bout is arranged in te land. : “If our terms are met the fight with Carpentier will be held early in the summer. Jack has always been Anxious to visit Europe. He's started ~~ several times, but something always setained him. This time we'll go carly enough to do a little sight seeing on the Continent before starting the final training period, “Meanwhile, Jack is willing to take ‘on any one. To us Tom Gibbons and his long knockout record looms up as. the logical candidate for a bout." “How about Harry Willis?’’ we in- quired. All right, put Wills first,"’ replied Kearns. “The champion ts a fighter and will meet any one, white or black. Jack isn't afraid of the color line. William A. Brady's offer of $200,000 for a Dempsey-Wills mateh has come to my notice, but I think there are too many difficulties in the way. It was hard enough to stage the match fn Jersey City. Personally I believe it would be inadvisable to attempt a mixed fight, especially at this time with the reform boys just itching to fire their popguns. . 66] F everything could be arranged without interference Wills 1s just the sort of an opponent I OFFERED DEMPSEY TO DEFEND TITLE IN MARION HOLUINS MUCH ACO ABOUT NOTHING—SOMETIMES - Copyright, 1922 (The New York Evening World), by Prees Publishing Co. TO STUDY COURSES Sacrifices Chances of Winning Title Abroad in Order to Help Women Golfers. Sacrificing her chances of abroad with the American women golfers who will invade England next spring, Miss Marion Hollins of the Westbrook Golf Club-salled for Eng- land on the Scythia, not to add any more golf laurels to the ones she ai- ready has, but to study the courses of Great Britain, so that she may be in @ position to offer advice in the con- struction of the new course on Lonz Island, which will be devoted exclu. sively to women. ‘The trip means that Miss Hollins will not be able to play in the British wom- en's championship later in the season, an object by which she had set much store. Twice before, as a non-titled per- sonage, she set out to win the Brit- ish championship and failed. Now, as American champion, she has unsel- fishly decided to abandon another, inva- sion just when her prospects are of the best. As an example of self-abnega- tion, Miss Hollin's trip abroad at this time is just about the final and ultimate word. 4 Just before sailing, she declared that sne expected to look over the more im- portant Hritish courses, with Miss Cectt Leitoh. British champion, beaten in the tourney at Hollywood when Miss Hol- ns came into her American title, and ould return about April 1. She then affirmed, in answer to an inquiry, the report that she would be unable to be & member of any team of American wo- men that might invade England lattr im the season. “I'm sorry, of cours there are other years > The or- ganization of our women's golf club is one of the most important steps to be taken in the development of women's golf in America and we wish to get it under way at the earliest possible mo- ment. Therefore, I am glad to be of any use in that development, even though it means that I can’t have an- other try at the British Mie next spring. ‘The new club expected to be fully es- tablished by 1923, had its official name changed at a meeting on Wednesday to the Women's National Golf and Tennis Club, Originally, it was to be known as the Women’s Golf and Tennis Club of Bay Head, The change was made with the idea of proclaiming the or- ganization national in scope rather than focal or even sectional. ‘The course is to be laid out by Dever- eaux Emmet, who is to be guided hy suggestions that Miss Hollins may t« able to advance gs the resujt of her observations abroad. Contrary to general impression, men ace not to be barred from the course. Present plans merely call for a reversal ot the usual order whereby the male ‘will be placed in the position of a guest going she sald, “but | whose privileges must not supercede or interfere with those of.the women mew- bers, Apparently the request of the Profes- sional Golfers’ Association that the Brit- ish move forward their open champlon- ship in 1923 one month in order to per- mit our national open being held at a more seasonable date has become source of some mystification abroad.

MEET Murchison and Scholz Will | Match Strides at Games | of Local Club, By Robert Boyd. HE) two foremost sprinters of the T country, Loren Murchison and Jackson Scholz, who have for the last few years shared the honors in the Millrose Games sprints, will both toe the mark in New York's annual indoor classic at Madison Square Garden. Scholz will sport the colors of the New York Athletic Club, the organi< zation he represented before he left for the Middie West. The former University of Missouri sprinter has not raced indoors this season, but I€ is reported that he is in excellent condition for the Millrose meet, Murchison has been doing consider« able running out through the West and it Is reported that he ts having one of his best years on the boards, ‘These two sprinting stars will by no means have things their own way, Fernie Wefers, whose great running in the Metropolitan Championship eurprised Easterners, and Bob afe~ Allister of the Police Departmont, the latest sprinting “find,” will give Mur- chison and Scholz the hardest battle of their careers, Wefers has been having a good season and with a {slight improvement in leaving his | mark there is no telling what Me- Allister might accomplish. A new track will be constructed by the Millrose people which will pro- vide for a straightaway stretch that will permit the athletes to use spikes. | Many other entries have been re- ceived tor the Milirose games: Atlan {Woodring of Syracuse, Conway of Mercerburg, Graeb of Columbia, and Hayes and Gus Desclr of Notre Dame, the latter the football star of Knute Rockne’s great team from that colloze. Italy will add to the international flavor of the Pennsylvania relays next spring. Oxford and Cambridge have represented England for the last few years and have fared very well in de- feating the Americans in the first big outdoor meet of the season. France sent a team here last year and was de- feated badly. This year Italy will sund cver a team composed of Italian stu- gents from some of the oldest scho ly of that country to compete against thé Americans. Lawson Robertson, coach of Penn- sylvania, has entered a strong relay team in the one-mile invitation race that will be one of the features of the Brooklyn College meet to be held to-morrow in the 23d Regiment Armory.

In spite of all the rumors and reports to the contrary, the man- ager of the New York Giants d clares that he is not in the mar- ket for a seasoned outfielder to fill the vacancy left by George Burns in centre.
