By Associated Press. Xetv York, Jan. 10. - Jack Demp sey, world's heavyweight champion, and Tommy Gibbons of St. Paul will fight a return title match in New York, probably early In June, Pro moter Tex Rickard announced today after a conference with Eddie Kane, Gibbons’ manager. Rickard came to a definite agree ment with Kane after an hour's con ference at Madison Square Garden. Jack Kearns, manager of the cham pion. has not yet signed articles with Rickard, but several dd^s ago he as sured the promoter there would he no hitch in arrangements If Gibbons was signed. Gibbons has been seeking a return fight with Dempsey ever since he stayed the limit of 13 rounds with the champion in their battle In Shel by, Mont., last July 1. Dempsey was swarded the verdict on potnts, but it was the first time since lie became ^P title holder that any one had stayed the full route with him. Several promoters had been dicker ing for the return fight, the latest offer having been made by James Mullen of Chicago, who claimed he had negotiations well under way. Doth Kane and Kearns denied they had given Mullen any definite as surances. No details of the agreement reached between Kane and Rickard were re vealed, but Kane, who barely made expenses at Shelby as a result of the financial debacle there, Indicated he was well satisfied with the pro moter's proposition. Kearns declared he would have no hesitancy in signing for Dempsey if terms and conditions are agreeable. It was understood, however, that he already has Nmie to an understand ing with the promoter. “Rickard informed me over the tel ephone that he lmd reached an agree ment with Kane," said the cham pion’s manager. "The proposition sounds good to me. I have assured Rickard right along we are ready to fight anybody, particularly Gibbons, because of his good showing at Shel by. I am leaving for Hot Springs, Ark., tomorrow, but expect to return to New York shortly to go into de tails on the bout. I expect no diffi culty in coming to terms with Rickard." Kearns said any date or place was agreeable to the champion, hut men 'loned Decoration day a-s a favorable time. According to Rickard, he has no definite site planned, but his choice would be limited to the two baseball Ml parks here and Doyle's Thirty Acres, in Jersey City, The promoter staged fights at both the Polo grounds and the Yankee stadium last season. Homemn Baker Given Release New York, Jan. 10.—The name of J. Franklin (Momerun) Baker, famous for more than a decade as a slugger and third baseman, was scratched to day from American league rolls when the New York Yankees announced his unconditional release. Baker has not played regularly for several seasons. His last active serv ice with the Yankees was In 1922. His formal release whs given him so that he may play in present ball, possibly as manager of a team near his home at Trapp, Md. He was on the voluntary retired list last season. Baker established his reputation as a batsman by driving in more runs than any other American league player for five successive years, hut gained ills greatest fame when hi» homerun hltllng made him the hero of two world aeries victories of the Athletics over the Giants, his feat of sinning two games for the Mackmen, >n* in 1911 and another in 1913, with homers was unrivaled until last fall when Casey Stengel's circuit clouts were the deciding factors In two vic tories for the Giants. Chicago, Jt)n. 10.—While no two of the 6,000,000,000 strokes made an nually by America’s 2,000,000 golfers are exactly alike, manufacturers of golf clubs and balls have made it possible to test the precise power of a club and distance a ball will travel from any given swing, and to day those machines ,iro busy in prov ing the material of tho links for 1921.

I aid's series "hero” with the Giants a couple of years, ago. Now he is released, it was announced today. He no*longer is useful to the club. Some may see In this incident something to feel sorry about. The lesson of it is that the “hero” busi ness in baseball, and in all walks of life. Is most unstable. "It isn’t what you used to be; it's what you are today," runs the old sport saw. YOITNG STRIBLING, 1 gilt-heavy weight fighter, is dropped fr»m the rolls of the Lanier High school of Macon, Ga., because of Ir regular attendance. Stribling was away from school a great deal following his profession of fighting. The rules of the school excuse absentees only when they are ill, have illness in their family or for «ome other necessity. Ntrlhllng’s fattier says lie may dispose of Ills real estate holdings in Macon, (la., and move to New ark, N. J„ where young Stribling can finish his education. He says lie is going lo give his son an edu cation at any cost, in spite of any parte ular school rule. Ths Is highly commendable on the part of Stribling, senior. But If the son was absent often enough to jus tify expulsion from the school the parent evidently though his boy’s prize fighting more important than education. nlllC parent Is, of course, quite wrong. The official* of Lanier High school were quite light in maintain ing their rules. They were idoing young Htrihling a great favor in permitting Mm to attend the school. Not every school would o.erlook the possibility of pernicious cxninple in opening its doors to a professional prize fighter. Young Stribling would he a thou sand times better off If he stuck to the school, and dropped his prize fighting. TR18 SPEAKER has been made a director of the Cleveland club, of which he also Is manager. Tlie active playing career of "The Texas Ranger,” one of the greatest outfielders that ever lived, draws to a close. But it will not be surprising to one day see Speaker president. If not the sole owner of the Cleveland club, tak ing his place with Comlskey, owner of the White Sox, and with John J. McGraw, a heavy stockholder In the Giants, as a player who made some thing of his opportunities on the business side of the game. □PEAKER came to the big league a little more promising than the average youngster in point of playing ability, perhaps. But Speaker had no greater op portunities on tiie business side than the average. He has progressed by attending strictly to business, by ex ponding himself beyond the playing field. The majority of the star hall players of the past have contented themselves with their positions as stars, with drawing fat salaries for a few years, then passing on into oblivion. Speaker, gifted with much natural common sense, has been investing his salary back into the business from whence it came. SPEAKER is one of the finest characters in baseball. He has stability. Intelligence. He comes from the little town of Hubbard. Tex . and goes back to Hubbard every fall to mingle with his home people. Kane Agrees to Match Gibbons New York, Jan. 10.—Eddie Kane, manager of Tommy Gibbons, an nounced this afternoon that he had agreed to match the St. Paul star with either Gene TunnOy. Jack Renault, Mike McTtgue or George* Carpentler In Madison Square Garden fhe latter part of next month. He made the statement after a con ftrence with Krank Coultry. nsaocl a ted with Tex Rickard In the promo tion of bouts. Kane had nothing to say a» to whether there had been talk of Gibbons meeting Jack Dempsey again. It Is undersftiod, however, (hat Rickard Is rather doubtful about the drawing power of a return en gagement between the pair. Possibly several fine showings by Gibbons might change his mind.
