Tex Rickard Signs Tommy Gibbons for Match With Dempsey Early in June Wills Slated • to Meet Winner I* of Bout in Fall « • _ Cl,imp's Manager Announces StI Paul Boxer, Nr ro Boll, to (Jet Crack at Title. # 1 ■ *■ By .\*si»rittli»il Prew. Xe’w York, Feb. 2.—The heavy weight ballyhoo for 1925 gathered full sieam today when Tex Rickard an noiihced he would match Tom Rib Ihjiis and .lack Dempsey for a return title bout early in June and then pi tlie winner against the perennial n«*gm contender, llarry- Wills, In S*i> tember. Both bouts would f»e stag 1 • niter In the Yankee stadium nr m Rickard's Jersey Rity pine howl Boyle's Thirty Acres. Rickard made this announcement • after an hour’s conference with (lib lions and the latter’s manager, Rddie Kane, at which the St. Patti boxer came to definite terms with the pro moter. Wills already is under con tract with Rickard. Estelle Placated? Xo binding agreement has yet been reached with Dempsey, but all doubt that he would he seen in action again seemed removed by a prompt declara tion in Los Angeles by Jack Kearns, Dempsey s manager, that the cham pion would give both Ribbons and Wills an opportunity to fight for the title. Rickard said lie anticipated no difficulty coming to terms with Dempsey. The statements by Rickard and Kearns synchronized as well that fighf experts, accustomed to midwin ter caution and contradiction in the business of the ring game, jumped at the conclusion that the program of two -title tights here this year was a.s good ns elinVhed. There was no explanation as to wha^ effect Dempsey’s fighting plans woi/M have upon the matrimonial ven ture which he has announced for May, Observers concluded, however, that unless there was some hitch in this plan, the champion’s fiancee. Kstelle Taylor, motion picture actress, had 'removed her objection to tuning theijr wedding hells to the sound of the ring’s gong. Prefer New York for Eight. Ribbons and Kane informed Rick ardjlhey would prefer to box Demp sey*fn New York, where officials de risionp are rendered, rather than un der ifhe no decision law prevailing in New Jersey. The promoter, however, refused to indicate what his choice of arena would.be*. . .« X* announcement was made as to fin tDrial terms, but it was understood tha(J Ribbons will receive at least and probably $150,000 for a hat S* with Dempsey. The St. Paul ch.,If- uger failed to make even his expgji • s out of the historic encounter with- Dempsey that went the limit of 15 JJunds in the little boom town or Shelby, Mont., in July, 1923. Wills may or may not regard hie incliifjbn in the title plans as a hoo doo. *rhe negro has figure,1 annually for the last several years in midwinter negy^a cions, but they have fallen thrcjSh with equal regularity.

Ar.d the girl* rail him “eheik •imply beeeuge the word la out ot tht •Pdt*«ry, That's Coach F\ T. Knapple. newly* appointed basket ball mentor and baseball coach and assistant grid ad riser at Central High school. No one would ever expect Knapple to follow in the footsteps of Rudolph! Valentino or some of the other male movif stars, but some of thi girls ac tually believe that snrrfe day their so called "sheik" will start raising s beard. But In his short, impressive career at the school on Dodge street hill. Knapple has made many friends. Perhaps it was born in him, but the former Coiner college youth seems to possess the rare knack of making friends. There is hardly a boy or girl in Central High school who doesn't respect the coach when he passes down the long corridors. While drilling his pm leges in the finer points of basket ball, Knapple! takes a serious attitude toward Ills official business. Whether It be on the basket ball court or on the grid field tin1 athletes respond to his com mands like they would to their par ents. Thus far this season Knapple has shown an excellent record. Homing (from Coiner college lml<- was known of the new "boss." Not long ago he tutored the Hutton High school hoop ■stars to a state championship Din ing the present hoop term., with Knapple as roach, the Hentraliter have -ucreed>d In establishing a good record. Knapple will also have parsons! au pervislon of the Purple base ball team this summer. The Central diamond lata are expeettd to havg a good '.sun. w . - r Legislator Would Tax Sale of Ball Players Washington, Ffh. —A hill de signed to prevent the sale of pro fessional baseball players from one i lob to another for huge sums of money was Introdueed In the house today by Kepresentative- Lafiuardia, republican of New- York. The bill provides federal tax of 90 per rent on any amount iu excess of $5,000 involved in such sale. "This measure," said I-aGuardia, “will end the so-called baseball slavery whereby the efforts and proficiency of a young mail in his profession call in,t be enjoyed by himself." I.afiuardia pointed out that the only way a prospect star can enter big leagues now is to secure a po.»i licu witti a smaller club and thru be old later to a club in the big league. The money involved in the transfer goes to the club from which he is purchased and nol to himself. I.afiuardia iMijnted out the only way to stop this practice was by tax ing it out of existence. Bailey Unable to Hurl This Season Houston, Tex.. Hep. 2.—Bill Bailey, left-handed pitcher of the Omaha Western league club, who was re: leased 10 days ago from a Long Beach (Cal.) hospital, returned to his home here today. Last fall Bailey, while pitching for a team in the win ter league, ruptured an artery under his heart and for several weeks his life was In grave danger. Three transfusions were necessary to replace the blood in hemorrhages, but the doctors were able to effect a cure. Bailey will be unable to pitch for one season, but It Is possible that President ^arney Burch of the Omaha club will use him as a scout and coach.

The announce ment that iAtnb would pilot the Tul sa club completes the managerial roster »f the Western league and at the same time pacifies a vast number of circuit fans who were considerably agitated over the delay in naming Lelivelts successor.

His first year he slammed the ball for an average of .381. In 1923 he swatted .341 and last seosan hit .373. There was no better outfielder in the Western league in 1922, '23 and ’24 than Lyman I,nmh. Hia fielding per centages for the three years he plaved with Tul*a were .975. .970 and ■74 Barney Burch had a little to do with Tulsa securing Lamb from Louisville. In 1922 Jack lellvelt managed the Oilers and wanted an outfielder. Lellvelt opened negotia tion* with Burch for the purchase of "Pug" Griffin, then playing with the Buffaloes Barney told Griffin to talk to Lellvelt and tf everything was kayoe the Omaha club would re leaee "Pug" to the Oiler*. It hap pened that Griffin ssked 150 more ner month from Tulsa than he had been receiving from Omaha and the deal Vaa left hanging fire. In the meantime lellvelt had made Louis vllle a hid for I,amb and the Assocla tion club accepted, so Lamb went to Tulsa snd Griffin remained with the Buffaloes until Burch released him to I,alias of the Texas league.
