Promoter Comes to Agree
ment With St. Paul Battler's
Manager—Kearns Gives
Assurance of Signing I p.
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

LYV YORK, Jan. 10—John
Scott, pitcher, was i. 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,

agreed to match the St. Paul star

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.

aer:
Some people have plenty of lop- j
sided ambitions. They are always
trying to do something that nobody
has ever done before because it was
useless or too dangerous.
In other words, ambition carries
you there and ambulances bring
you back.
Connecticut man intend* to start
for Europe in a rowboat without
oars. That's ambition. But it's
never been done before. Duke of
Ahruzzi had the climbing bug. The
duke crawled 24,600 feet up the
Himalayas, which is a record for
dukes of the better class.
An Australian iwung a pair of
Indian club* for six days and six
night* while at the him time a
Swedish athlete used up 2,346
Japarese matches trying to light
a wet cigar in a gale.
Kid William* of Baltimore prob
ably owns an ambition that will
chew him up sooner or later.
The Kid wants to knock out one
hundred opponents. No wonder the
neighbors won't let the kids play
with him. He has reached that'
stage where he jjoes around taking
punches at trees, lamp posts and!
fireplugs.
He is not very far from that
ambition now. He ha* been fight- 1
ing for a good many years now, l
People have ftist about forgotten
that he was -once bantamweight
champ. During his career in, out
and over the ropes, he has bump
ed off 84 boy friends.
The Kid has been battling
around 15 year? and claims those
84 knockouts. He never takes any
chances on a judge’s decision*. The ,
little playmate want* his decisions |
straight from the corner with the '
middleman's profit eliminated.
Ain’t that a neat ambition? To1
retire to the old fireside with the
grandchildren playing around your
knee, and then find out that
through some banking error, you
had only knocked out 99 people?
In order to straighten out the
history book*, the Kid would nat
urally have to knock out one of
the grandkida.
He ha? only 16 more jaws to
freeze chilly before he complete*!
his century run of knockouts. |
Then he will have a record which
will stand for the ages.
Here's hoping he makes the i
grade, but makes it in the ring.
Because a man like that might be '
."hooting good Queensbury billiards
some night and decide to reach
through the ropes and run pool on
the spectator?.
