“Awe “gould be lighter or more nimble. y Dempsey Shows Remarkable _ Speed and Boxing Ability in Three-Round Bout. ACK DEMPSEY Is, !f anything, faster to-day than he ever was. Up at the Hippodrome last night where the champion opened a four weeks’ engidgement, he just radiated speed in a three round boxing ex- -hhiwition with Larry Williams. Never ® showy boxer in training camp, he seemed to be perfection in skill and footwork. No professional dancer ofr his heels every second, he was all over the improvised ring, ducking, Sage and placing punches 3 admirable accuracy on his sparring partner. Everything about the champion showed that even in ‘off periods he has not failed to keep himself in shape. No athlete could _move around so snappily, and be out of condition. The. three round bout whieh Dempsey goes through is the most interesting feature of the twenty minutes’ “‘work’’ he does on the stage. Before this he has to go through @ trying speech and a bit of repartee with his manager, Jack Kearns. He gets by with it very sat- ‘sfactarily. Incidentally Kerns de- livered the oratorical goods in telling the audience what a laudable game boxing is, and how it had such a staunch advocate as Theodore ~ Roosevelt. Dempsey, was well received by a crowded house. It became a pro- 4essional reception because everybody of prominence in the sporting world seemed in the audience. Dempsey says he would rather fight than do anything else, but while there is no ‘one to conquer right now he will do very, well as an actor. . HOUTING “Foul” is becoming a common occurrence these nights ‘ at boxing shows. Every time a blew is landed ator near tho belt line, vigilant seconds lose no time in call- ing the referce’s attention to it, as if said referee had no eyes df his own. Lew Tendier, the Philadelphia light- weight, was ragged from Hymie Gold's corner at the Garden last Fri- day night every time he let a punch fo to the mid-section. Nearly every one of these blows was well directed at Gold's belt line, and, landing there, was well above the foul region, for the reason that the belt line made by Golt’s purple trunks was about two inches above where it should be. Fighting trunks of the modern box- ers are made high purposely and ref- erees and the public are badly fooled by them. If foul blows are to be gauged by the present styles in ring fogs anything below the chest may justify the indignation of smart handlers, We don't wish to be understood as saying positively that young Gold wasn't fouled by Tendler. He may. have been, but some little time be- fore the jast claim was made for him it was lent that he was sinking from punches that landed on the short ribs and not on the stomach, Fouled or otherwise, the youngster did well against a very superior fighter, and should profit by the experience he gained.

James E. Barrett, one of baseball's greatest outfielders of all time, left at the time of his death a few weeks ago an estate of nearly half a million dollars. In t heyday of his diaw mond career aot Barrett played an outfield position with Sam Craw- ford and Matty McIntyre on the De- troit {eam, but was forced to leave the team on account of a turned ankle, That was in 1905, the year ‘Ty Cobb joined the team and filled the position vacated by Barrett. During his years of baseball Bar- rett, always frugal and saving, ac- cumulated about $25,000 in cash. ‘With this he entered the real estate business in Detroit, his home city, and at the time of his death had ac- cumulated real estate, bonds and securities that if thrown on the market to-day would bring approxi- mately $400,000. PITCHER BARNES TELLS THE GIANTS HES NO HOLD-OUT ST. LOUIS, Feb. 28.—When the Giants’ special train left here for San Antonio the only sad member of the party was Jess Barnes. The big pitcher caught up with the main body yesterday, very much depressed in spirits and vehemently declaring he is no hold-out. Jess evidently has only one idea—to return with the boys and help them capture another world’s title. Bluff or no bluff, this talk of sending Barnes “down the river” from a cham- pionship ball club has worked in the case of Jesse, He has a chastened spirit, a contrite heart. Ho wants a chance to be good, and a chance th show just how good he can pitch.

Star First Baseman Spikes Rumor He Had Lined Up With Hold-Outs—Bob Meu- sel Getting Ready to Come to Terms. . By Robert Boyd. IGGING up news along both the National and American League sectors these days 1s a dimecult task, Hot Springs, Ark., 1s shelter- ing many of the shining lights of the national pastime, ,and New Orleans and San Antonio, Tex., are displaying more life with the coming of the big leaguers into their midst. The an- nouncement of the receiving of the signed contract of Wally Pipp was made known by Ed. Barrow. It was forwarded from Grand Rapids, Mich., where the tall and lanky first baseman passes his win- ters. He will join the team March 3 at New Orleans. This will settle once and for all the rumor that Wally was a member of the hold-outs. Bob Meusel also made his first move of the season at his home in California. Bob was expected to joim the fraternity of Mays and, Ward, but after his wiring for transportation to New Orleans from his home it is thought that the big right ficlder will swing into line without much trouble. Harry, Frazee of the Boston Red Sox threw the baseball world into a state of excitement by stating early yesterday that he would have an im- portant announcement ready later in the day. Something went wrong with the Boston owner's ‘plans, for just when the dusk of the day settled on the big city he said that something important was contemplated, but he would not be able to make it known for at least a few ddys yet. By this it is clear’ that Frazee is not finished trading or selling players. He rocked the City of Culture with his last big deals, and {t mhy be that Boston will tremble once again before the 1 championship season rolls around. Mark Roth and Charles MeManus departed in charge of the first con- tingent of Yankee players for Now Orleans. They will be met at New Orleans with the battery men and Babe Ruth, who have been taking the baths at the American Spa. tS ae Ed. Barrow will not go South until the middle of next month, He will attend to the building plans of the Yankees’ new stadium. The Barnes-Douglas hold-out situ- ation remains the same, according to Eddie Brannick, who is the only one left in the Giants’ New York offices. Rogers Hornsby the Cardinal's great second baseman, has not signed his 1922 contract. Neither has he been heard from since he played win- ter basebal! on the Coast. The St. Louis Browns started the 1922 training season by en ‘ing in an eleven-inning game at Mobil Lee Fohl announced that “Dixie Davis, an alleged hold-out, had come ‘to terms with the owners of the Browns, Jesse Barnes will board the "Gi: Special” at St. Louis and p: d}a letter from Burleigh Grimes, but South with the team.
