By RAY PEARSON,
rotnibty in two or three yean,
perhaps before, or hort!y after,
there may be marked in the hall of
pugilistic fame a new name, the
name of world's champion whose
light today i hidden under the
proverbial bushel. He may be a
heavyweight, a man to take the
coveted crown of Jack Denipscy, or
a middleweight in whom we could
take more pride than we do in
Champion Johnny Wilson at pres
ent. Then, too, almost from "out 01
nowhere" may came a new welter
weight titlrholdcr to take the place
of the ancient but wonderful Jack
P.ritton; a lightweight to supplant
the astute and great Renny Leonard;
a featherweight ' for Johnny Ktl
bane'a niche; a bantamweight to oc
cupy the place now held by Johnny
Huff, or a flyweight to lick Jimmy
Wilde and all others of this wee
class.
Tex Rickard Has Plana.
I get this idea it impresses itself
strongly from conversation with
Tex Rickard, de luxe promoter of
New York. Talking with Rickard
the other day he told me something
of the plans he is making tor the
development of boxers. These plans,
which are certain to g6 through
provide incentive for the young men
who have been dreaming of a future
when they might shine as ring stars
but with little hope of getting tne
opportunity.
Rickard's plans are those that no
one but a Rickard seems able to
. evolve, and this is the way he
brought them out in conversation:
"I've held hoxint shows in Madi
son Square Garden every' Friday
night since the winter season
opened. These shows have been
highly successful, chiefly because of
the installation of a new price list
on tickets.
Prices Suit Workingmnn.
"Popular prices are the rule now,
and the man who I ought to say
the workingman sits at the garden
ringside, sees as good a fight as any
on wourd cart to watch, and en
joy himself, simply because tne
highest priced seat costs only $7,
while other scats may be obtained
for at low as $2."
That much said, Tex halted in his
talk for a few seconds, then re
sumed:
"Do you know, I've got a mighty
good notion to do more than I am
doing now in the garden. I've been
thinking seriously of putting on
two shows each week, and this plan
looks so good to me that I am going
through with it.
"I'm going to hold a show every
luesday .night in the garden, at
which the young fellows who art
striving to get somewhere in the
boxing game will have their chance.
Sort of neighborhood scraps for the
boys of New York and , Brooklyn.
Once these are started, boys from
other cities may come in and Com
pete, but there always must be a
local boy in every contest."

Basket Ball Year
Frankie Genero After
Bout With Buff
ti " ii mi in m . ' a, .'
New York, Oct. 29. Frankie
Genero, who won the amateur fly
weight championship of the world
at the Olympic games, is out with
a challenge to Johnny Buff. Genero
is one of the few midgets who can
make the flyweight limit. This
youngster is only 19 years old. He
has not lost a fight since turning
professional, and he promises to
make things lively for the champion
if he succeeds in getting Buff into
the ring.
Winning the bantam title evidently
has made Buff forget all about his
flyweight crown. He can talk of
nothing but bouts with Lynch, Her
man and other bantams, but it may
be that he will encounter more
trouble with a man of his own
weight.
Five Hundred Quintets Ready
To Roll Into Action on
Courts Throughout
Country.
New York, Oct, 29. (Special.)
Five hundred basket ball teams are
ready for the season and a number
of them have already started play
inir. The success of the game last
year, when basket ball took its place
among the leading indoor winter
sports, and the forming of a consid
erable number of new tewns this
year, are indicative of "big doings."
The colleges have already started
whipping their men into the true
form required for a fast and con
sistent game and the Public School
Athletic league is scheduled to open
hostilities against -one another for
the borough and Greater New York
championships in the near future.
Basket ball received its biggest
boost a short time ago, when the
game was recognized by America's
premier promoter, Tex Rickard.
The latter attended several contests
last year and was impressed with
the manner the game was played.
A month or so ago Rickard got in
touch with Jim Furey, manager of
the Original Celtics, recognized na
tional champions, and the result was
that Madison Square Garden is the
home court of New York's great
team. )
The Celtics started playing three
weeks ago and have won all the
contests in which they started.

Many Upsets Feature This
Year's Golf Play-Americans
Lost in Great Britain Tourney
New York, Oct. 29. (Special.)
Golf had more than its share of up
sets this year. American golfers in
vaded Great Britain and were
worsted in two of the three big
tournaments, while the British
players came here only to meet de
feat. Not one of the American players
who held our title in 1920 Charles
Evans, jr., the amateur; Ted Ray,
the open, and Miss Alexa Stirling,
the women's retain their honors to
day. Cyril Tolley, the British cham
pion last year displaced by Willie
Hunter; Jock Hutchison, of Glen
View, won the open title of Great
Britain, wrestling the crown - from
George Duncan. Miss Cecil Leitch
is the only champion from abroad
to repeat this year, but she failed at

of the Western open title, defeated
Jim Barnes for the Professional
Golfers' Association championship,

None Infallible.
Wonderful golfers, all of them,
tut none of them infallible. At Roslyn
a year ago Evans gave Francis
Ouimet one of the worst beatings
ever administered in a championship
final. Up to the time Chick met
Jesse Guilford in the semi-final round
of the recent title event at St. Louis,
no othety golfer had showed a finer
game than the champion, yet he
went down to defeat.
Barnes is admittedly one of the
best players in the world and his
victory in the open at Columbia was
a thoroughly deserved one. In a soe
cial match between Jock Hutchison
and Barnes the ; latter triumphed,
Yet Barnes was badly beaten in the
imal round of the P. G. A. Cham

something remarkable in winding
the British open. Vet a comparative

Paris, Oct. 28. Touring cars will
share honors next year with special
racing machines in the "Grand
Prix" of the Automobile club of
France. This speed classic, now dis.
placed from the front rank by the
United States' supremacy in the
automobile field, will next year
partly comply with the demands of
automobile men that the test be less
technical and more practical.
The 500-kilometer race will be
retained and one of 800 kilometers
for touring cars will be added.
Cylinder capacity of speed cars will
be reduced from 3 to 2 liters. In the
1921 race, won by an American car,
Several competitors used less than
the maximum size engines. Critics
of the nevv regulations have sug
gested that the minimum weight for
the racing cars should be much
lower than the prescribed 750 kilos
(1,650 pounds).
The touring car race calls for 210
kilos (462 pounds) dead weight in
the bodies to represent three pas
sengers.. The driver must be alone
in his car and may not take on sun-
plies during the race. The gasoline
and oil consumption maximum ;s
fixed at 17 liters for each 100 kilometers.
One prominent automobile engin
eer estimates that with new designs
the 2-liter motors should develop
80 horsepower and enable the car
to make 170 kilometers an hour.
For the touring cars a speed of 135

Veteran Hunter Finds Way to
Take Rank Taste Out of Ducks
By BEN C. ROBINSON.
Here's one I learned over in
ducking shanty on Great Bay one
stormy day when the weather had
cooped a bunch of us up and the
cunds were empty.
We had been living on duck for
Over a week, and as they were dished
up by the guides, who understood
only the boiling process, were as
ranie to the taste as wildfowl can
be without any care in the serving.
We were all heartily tired of the
menu.
In the party was an old army cook,
a man who had at one time, befora
affluence found him, served as chtf
in one of the large eastern hotels.
A great pile of the best ducks that
ever llew was stacked up on the out
side of the shanty mallards, red
heads, black ducks and broadbills.
One morning Charlie informed Us
that he was to be the cook that
day. I volunteered as his helper.
and learned something about the an
of serving wild sea duck so that it
loses all that strong, fishv or muddy
flavor and taste so objectionable to
anyone except the bayman.
lne ducks, after being peeled
of both feathers and skin as this
is the quickest way to dress this
fowl were thoroughly washed and
placed in a large container of clear
water and set to boil. They were
allowed to cook for a half hour from
the time the water came to a boil
Then they were taken from the con
tainer and well washed in fresh wa
tcr. All parts were cleaned of shot
marks and thoroughly rinsed;, then
placed in fresh water and the cook
ing completed.
When the fowls were cooked un
til the flesh was ready to leave the
bones they were removed and
dressing prepared of bread chopped
into small squares, half an onion per
bird, also chopped fine and added to
this, with pepper, salt and a little
sage to suit the taste.
This dressing was then crammed
into the cavity of each bird and
Sewed in with needle and white
threadv (Small slivers of clean woo!
or sharpened twigs can be used m
stead of thread.) Next the birds
were placed side by side in a shallow
bake pan and put nlto a hot oven
After half an hour in this very hot
oven they were taken out and

Trapping the Fur-Bearers.
Trapping fur-bearing animals has
been described as a lascinatmg art,
but it is more than that. Since the
price of muskrat skins went from
10 cents to $1 and then starting Soar
ing toward $5, trapping has ceased to
be a winter sport or even a moder
ately paying ttestime. It is what you
could call a mighty lucrative busi
ness, and the fellows who have been
on the job during the last few years
have made a neat piece of money
with their furs.
The average citv dweller does not
always appreciate the work that is
involved befofe the pelt of an ani
mal reaches the finished stage and
is displayed in a furrier's window.
Nor rlnea he realize the hardships
that are experienced by some of
the professional trappers who spend
iong, cold months in the north coun
try, livim? alone in a log cabin and
walking many a weary mile as they
visit their trap lines day alter day,
These are the fellow" who have to
pit their wits against the crafty wolf,
the cunning fox, and the highly prized
fisher; and makii"" sets for these
animals when the snow is deep and
the cold intense is a science that
requires an intimate study of na
ture plus endurance and cleverness.
However, a fellow doesn't have
to he a Professional to make a sue
cess of the traooincr game. Hun
dreds of Outdoor "men carry it as a
sideline and thereby pxk up a lit
tie stake each winter as well as have
some fun. Catching fur bearers m
the middlewest is minus the hard
ships of the trapping game up north.
In Illinois trappers are numerous.
The open season on fur bearers runs
from November 1 to March 1, and
the fejlows who are going after fur
this 'winter now are busy getting
their outfits in shape. November 1
is a little early actually to begin
trapping, as the fur is not A-l grade
until colder weather sets in, but Oc
tober and November are the months
when the wise trapper gets ready and
scours the country, locating likely
spots to make-his sets.
Runnln' The Trap Line
When there is a hint of snow
in the air, and the ducks are fly
ing, and the muskrats ate putting
the finishing touches on their
houses, the trapper begins to
think of catching the fur bearers.
Outwitting a wise old fox or mink
is a fascinating game a game
that Is as old as the hills, yet al
ways new, because it is filled with
surprises.
A lot of scouting along streams
and other likely places for fur bear
ers means that a fellow will know
just how many traps will be needed
to cover the country, and where to
place them.
The mink is one of the animals
that is much sought in the middle
west, as its pelt brings a good price.
This fellow is a stream lover and
smart, and sometimes a pretty hard
animal to fool. We have hf a mink
play around a set for three days and
nary a hair of him could we catch.
Then by slightly changing the posi
tion of the trap and using a fresh,
tempting bird tor a lure we bagged
Mr. Mink and incidentaally learned
something new about his likes and
dislikes.
The notorious skunk is wearing a
valuable skin this fall and the trap
pers are going to collect neat sums
for skunk fur. Weasels, which in
trapping season are known as
ermine, will also be welcome in the
traps, and prime pelts with no gray
hairs or yellow stains arc the hope
of the trapper as he goes after this
bloodthirsty 'little animal.
a
But the trapper doesn't do all his
scouting along streams. He will get
into the Woods inspecting hollow
trees and stumps for opossum and
raccoon dens. Raccoon fur is auite
popular right now, and each pelt qi
Al grade means money in the
pocket .
I hen there " is the old, reliable
muskrat, the most numerous of all
fur bearers. We used to trap these
fellows when 10 or 15 cents was
considered a fair price for them.
Now the lowly muskrat is in the
highbrow class, and when you talk
of rat fur you speak in terms of dol
lars and not cents.
If vou are going after the fur beav
ers this winter, don't forget to se
cure your trapping license. Owners
and tenants of farms do not need
them if they trap on their own land,
but if you are a "freelancer," a li
cense is required. It will stand you
$1, including the clerks' fee for mak
ing it out. which is mighty reason
able, considering the fun you have
outdoors and the value of the fur
taken.

crful line, which should be a match
for the Maroon forward wall. Huff
man and Spiers are a great pair of
tackles, while Trott and Pixley are
reliable guards. Capt. Myers and
Slykcr play well at the ends, while
Noel Workman knows enough foot!
ball to pilot the team in almost
faultless fashion.
In the back field Stuart has been
doing the stellar playing. In the
Michigan game he took advantage of
the Wolverine's carelessness bv
scooping up a rolling punt and ran
for a touchdown. Isabel was a good
performer last year, and with a sea
son's experience is doing better all
around. Taylor, at fullback is an
other veteran who is fitting nicely
into the Wilce machine.
Maroons Hold Back in East
Chicago is expected to use a versa
tile attack. When the Maroons
went east to meet Princeton, Coach
btagg had the eleven well groomed
in a close and open attack. During
the practice on the day before the
contest, intricate forward pass plays
were executed with clocklike pre
cision. The shift also was worked
with rhythm and smoothness.
Shortly after the game started it
was apparent the Maroons could
gain- with a straight attack. The
Tiger line failed to tighten up when
Full Backs Timme, Thomas and
Zorn' tore through for large gains.
Under such conditions it would have

championship honors, although
will not meet Chicago, Ohio State
or Wisconsin, will clash with Mm-,
nesota at Minneapolis in the big
homecoming game in Gopherdom.
The Hawkeyes have been playing
consistent foot ball all season, as was
shown by victories over Notre Dame
and Illinois.
Minnesota may improve, but if
Iowa is at the top of its game the
Goohers must play better foot ball
than they have at any time this year
to entertain hopes of winning.
Iowa Wants Clean Slate.
Minnesota is always slow to round
into form, because it takes so long
to master the complicated shuts.
Having defeated Iowa and Illinois,
Coach Howard Jones is not the type
f mentor to be caught napping, and
he can be relied upon to have his men
in the necessary mental and phys
ical condition to bring about the de
sired result. The Iowans are deter
mined on a clean slate.
Northwestern and Purdue, which
have experienced unsuccessful sea
sons, will meet at Lafayette. Neither
has won a Big Ten contest this year
and the loser will be entitled to un
disputed possession of last place.
Neither eleven has shown the form
expected, but they can be expected
to fight to the bitter end in the com
ing struggle.
Illinois will meet De Pauw, the
Indiana eleven coached by Fred
Walker. The Hoosier team may give
Coach Zuppke's charges a harder
contest than expected, but the game
should serve its purpose of putting

Notre Dame at West Point V
Notre Dame will take its annual
journey to West Point to meet the J
armv. Since losing to Iowa the
South Bend eleven has beaten Fur
due and Nebraska. Following th
game with the cadets, Notre Dame
will remain in the east to clash with
Rutgers at the roio Jgrounas on tne
following Tuesday, November 8.
Although Princeton will enter the
Harvard game on the short end of
betting odds, because of defeats by
the Navy and Chicago, the Tigers
are expected to recover to such an .
extent as to give the Crimson a hard
battle. The Sons of old Nassau
have risen to such occasions before, ;
and this year may be no exception.

after its two defeats, and these will
be strengthened when the teams

Yale will take things rather easy
by meeting Maryland at New Ha
ven. Old Eli is slated to meet
Princeton on November 12 at New
Haven, and no chances of injuring
star players will be taken. Lafayette,
which defeated Pitt early in the sea
son, will meet Pennsylvania at Phil
adelphia. Carnegie Tech, developed
by Walter Steffen. and Pcnn State.
