    Dempsey-Gibbons
Not Expected to
Draw at New York
Bout Likely to Be Overshad
owed by Two Other Matches
That Champion Is Con
cerned In.
New York, Jan. 26.—Whether New
York ring fans are easier to please
than those of the west will be seen
when Jack Dempsey and Tom Gib
bons stage their return match here
. during the coming spring. The Demp
sey-Carpentier and Dempsey-Firpo
1 routs proved to he such tremendous
attractions that it begins to look as
though Dempsey can pack them
around the ring no matter who his
opponent may be.
Still, there are many reasons why
a Dempsey-Gibbons bout will not draw
anything like ns well as the two other
matches mentioned. A return bout is
never as good a card as the first
one unless it leaves some doubt as
lo the ability of the men, and the
Shelby affair showed plainly that Gib
bons will never beat Dempsey.
Bout to Be Overshadowed.
The Gibbons bout Is likely to be
ovdfshadowed by two other Dempsey
matches. Dong before the Gibbons
bout, Duis Flrpo will be here bowling
over setups and creating no end of
talk, for the South American is a
picturesque character with plenty of
•olor. The prospects' for a Dempsey
Wills bout look brighter and there
will be a great deal of talk about
■hat. The fans are so interested in
these two bouts that they will not
have much enthusiasm to squander
on a Glbbons-Dempsey bout, because
it Is evident that the champion is run
"ing no risks in meeting the man
from St. Paul.
Eddie Kane, rrfanager of Gibbons,
lias sent out a statement that indi
cates the line of publicity that will
be used to build up Gibbons as an
attraction. Kane declares that Demp
sey foulad Gibbons, injuring him so
badly that Tom could scarcely use
his legs during the last three rounds.
Whether Gibbons was really fouled
>r not, he does not deserve a great
• leal of sympathy. With his eyes wide
>pen he accepted the conditions that
lie now complains about. He knew
.'hat the referee was one of Demp
sey's closest personal friends, as un
biased as Dempsey's brother John
would have been. The time for Tom
o squawk about that was when the
eferee was selected.
Rickard Willing to Arrange Bout.
Tex Rickard is willing to arrange
t fight between Luis Angel Flrpo
ind Harry Wills,'negro heavyweight,
he winner to tackle Jack Dempsey,
world champion, i n September.
Xewark promoters also are aald to
be willing to guarantee Flrpo and
Wills $100,000 each for a no-decision
ontest during the outdoor season.
It is' pretty well understood that
Dempsey and his manager, Kearns,
lave no desire to meet Wills inside
lie ropes. Doubtless they are hoping
hat Wills can be induced to run up
gainst the South American slugger
ind be eliminated by a knockout wal
"P. In that event, Firpo’s attractive
less would be increased to such an
■ xtent that bis return engagement
with the world champion would draw
neater receipts than were counted at
-he Polo grounds last September.
Completely frozen out by Dempsey
ind Kearns, Wills should accept one
■f the offers to box Flrpo. The negro's
■inly chance to get a crack at the
world champion's title lies in his abil
ity to take the “Wild Bull's” meas
ure. If Wills should stop the crude
-touth American, he would have
Dempsey and Kearns in a corner from
vhlch they could not escape.

Davis Cup Entry
List to Be Large
New York, Jan. 26.—Speculation as
to the size of the entry list for the
Davis international lawn tennis chal
lenge cup is already beginning to agi
tate the circles of sport. Undeniably
the list is increasing in its propor
tions and strength. X^ast year 17
nations challenged. The system of
zoning proved successful, although
there Is evidence now to those who
carefully analyze results that the Eu
ropean zone is likely to completely
overshadow this country. Add to this
the prospect of the Olympics during
the coming summer and European
lawn tennis may easily cause the
later season In this country to l>e as
unemotional as ditch water.

nE ARE now stepping forward
to the new tee marked 1924.
The old round has been
checked out and finished. It is fad
ing from the picture with its blink
ers, traps, ponds and rough that
caught our mistakes.
Suppose each golfer liad a dollar
bill for each stroke that he mis
played? Some one page the mint.
Suppose each golfer had a dollar bill
for the strokes he might have saved
with a littlj more concentration, de
termination, carefulness and control
of temper and nerves?
Another mint would be needed to
pay off.
ROKES lost by a natural inability
STROKES lost by a natural inabil
ity to hit the ball correctly every
time, or half the time, can't well
be helped except by more practice.
But think of all the strokes you drop
ped in 1923 that were unnecessary?
Think of all the times you let
one or two had holes wreck the
rest of your round—
Of the times you got sore over
missing a short putt or topping a
tee shot and let these mistakes
break up ywur concentration.
Of all the times you were thinking
of the stroke you had just missed
rather than concentrating on the
strike ahead—
Of the putts that might have drop
lied if you had only given them all a :
chance to reach the cup—
Packer Quintet
Defeats Central
South High triumphed over its
old rival. Central High, at the South
gynt Friday night by a score of 1C to
16. The Packers seemed to get re
venge for their overwhelming defeat
in football this year by nosing the
Purple five out of a win in the last
few minutes of play.
A dazzling attack by the Capitol
hill lads kept them in the lead until
the game Ijecume so rough that both
teams were being seriously hurt by
playing against each other. The
score at the half stood 4 to 2 In
favor# of Central, and this was in
creased 4 points shortly after the
second half started.
Marrow’s floor work and ability to
shake off several o% his opponents
and toss the ball through the hoop,
coupled with the long shots thrown
liy Graham, were the features of the
game during the first half. The work
of the opposing guards, luiwson and
Peeves, was easily the best work in
the last half. Wedberg and Katsman,
South center and guard, respectively,
showed up well against Conch Hill's
five.
Horacek, Central center, played Ills
best game of the season. Ills rangi
ness and shiftiness mftde him a very
formidable man to get by. Gerelh k
played a good guarding game as well
as a strong offensive one.

nounced today.
Of the rounds you became upset
over bad lies, tough breaks—all a part
of the game.
NOW facing a new round, many
new rounds, your swing may
not improve greatly over the
swing you knew through the fading
years. But Ihink of all the slrokes
you can save by playing golf all the
way through—by letting the mistakes
take their places in ancient history
as you center your attention on the
stroke that is to follow. The stroke
to be played next is the only one that
counts. Brooding over the one you
have just missed may he human, but
it isn’t helpful. It won't get you
anywhere except in to some trap or
b nker. And raving over a bad lie
or a tough break is jus^t exactly what
your opponent wants you to do. He
may sympathize with you, hut don’t
believe for a minute be means it. The
time lie gets worried is when you take
these tougi) breaks without a squawk
and keep on playing golf. Me knows
then he has a battle on his hands, not
a crying contest.
ANY golfer who starts from the
new tee of 1024 by concentrat
ing on the next stroke to he
plnyed. unmindful of any recent mis
take, by keej ing his nerves and
temper under control, by giving his
putts a chance to reach the cup, by
playing the game out. Is on the way
to save a county full of strokes. Those
who have learned by now,that bunk
ers. traps, heel prints, cuppy lies, out
of bounds, missed short putts, water
hazards and baffling winds are all a
part of the game and are to be taken
as such, have ft running start on the
year ahead. They may not become
champions, but they will beat a lot
of people * who have beaten them
most of the time through 192S.
□rVWAY, to duffer or star, here's
luck;
Not to little and not too much:
Just enough for nn even break
Or a sporting chance
if you reached no fcunker or traps
The game wouldn't be worth play
ing.
If you had no uphill fight to make
The crown would not be worth the
winning.
Here's hoping you play out the
game
And take the breaks as they come.
Here's hoping you keep on hitting
the hall
With a steady sw hiF
Regardless of any cook-eyed fate.
Here's wishing you health for a good,
hart! battle
Through sun and rain.
Through calm and storm
\yith nothing worse than an even split
From fate, destiny, lurk or chance.

Molla Mallory
Not to Represent
U. S. at Olympiad
Game Committee Rules Star
1-3 Ineligible to Play for
America—May Com
pete for Norway.
By VINCENT RICHARDS
New York, .Tan. 25.—Mrs. Molla
Bjurstedt Mallory, six times national
woman tennis champion of the United
States, will not hear the American
Olympic shield for her adopted
country in the next Olympic games
to be played in Paris next July. All
hopes of the famous Norsewoman,
who developed her tennis play to In
ternational heights in this country,
being able to represent America at
the coming Olympiad, was lost. Of
ficers of the United State Lawn Ten
nis association were officially noti
fied that Mrs. Mallory had been de
clared Ineligible to represent the
United States by the international
Olympic committee. This ruling is
based upon a clause of the rules and
regulations of the Olympic games
which states that an athlete who has
represented a country in Olympic
competition cannot at a later date
change his or her allegiance and rep
resentation to another nation.
Played for Norway.
This specific ruling in Mrs.
Mallory's case hinges upon her play
In the Olympic gam°s at Stockholm
in 1912, when, as( Molla Bjurstedt, a
girl still in her teens, she played for
Norway and won third prize in the
Olympic singles of that year. It was
the hope of American tennis enthusi
asts that because she has made this
enuntry her home for almost a decade
and her marriage to an American
citizen, that the Olympic rule might
be construed broadly in her case.
It is apparent, however, that—'the
International Olympic committee has
decided that tho rule must be applied
according to the law and without re
gard to the present home of tlie ath
lete or player under consideration.
The final decision from the supreme
tribunal of the Olympic committee
will, it is expected, radically thange
Mr*. Mallory's plans for competition
in the coming Olympiad. It is under
stood that while tho international
Olympic committee hohlri that Mrs.
Mallory’ is not eligible t.i represent the
United States, she is still eligible to
play for Norway and that the latter
nation has again asked her to repre
sent It at the Olympic games. While
tho former American champion has
not a a yet expressed final determina
tion upon this point, it is probable
that she will bo seen in competition
in the Olympic games under the
colors of Norway.
Will Not Affect 1’lans.
Tlie decision of the international ,
Olympic committee is not likely to ]
have any effect upon the plans of the
United States Eawn Tennis associa
tion, or Mrs. Mallory personally in
regard to competing for this country
In Die woman's International team
match and the English championship
at Wimbled n prior to the Olympic
games. It is likely that unless Mrs. |
Mallory decides to sail ahead of tl.e
other players she will accompany the
team to Europe when that contingent
Bails uhout June 1. After the team
match and the English championship
she will continue on with the party
to Franco and upon arrival there she
will undoubtedly continue playing
with the American team even though
site should decide to play for Not way.

seconds later with another free throw
Goodrich counted with a short bas
ket for Sioux City, after which the

working the hall through with case
only to miss on easy short chnncos.

Kspeclally in the final Central High

Federal Public Si
--i;DiTfi
T now looks like the migratoryi
game bird refuge bill will be
come a law. The need for such I
a law has long been apparent to the
sportsman, but it took several cam
paigns to induce the public to sup
port such a measure. At the last
sesion of congress, a bill providing
a federal hunting license was intro
duced, but that bill contained so many
bad features that It was defeated.
The bill for federal hunting license
this year is one which was drawn j
up at the first annual convention of
the Izaak Walton league in April,
1923, and was wrded l>y representa
tives of hunters and anglers from nil
over th<“ United States. Advantage
was taken of mistakes to provide the
best remedy for the former bill and
the present measure seems to provide
the Is-st remedy for the woeful con
ditions among which ar- trying to
increase the number of migratory
birds.
The federal |> ■ i l.lii shooting

refuge bill has heeti introduced by
Senator McCormick of Illinois aiul
provides for a hunting permit is
sued by all postmasters ami costing
St per annum. Of this dollar there
is promised an expenditure of 55
per cent in purchasing or leasing
wet lands for the feeding and pro
tection of wild fowl; 35 per cent
for the salaries of federal game
wardens, and Id per rent for the
expense* <*f Ihe afire in control.
VII this fund is lo he handled by a

Mack Considers
Simmons ^ onder
Philadelphia, Pa., .bin. 2(1 —Ever
since I’nnnie Mack of the Athletics
completed hi- sensational deal with
the Milwaukee club for Outfielder
Simmons, 2U ye.iis old, he's been
praising the colt to the skies.
"I expeel Simmons to make good
r.ght off the reel.'' says the veteran
manager. "He's only a kid. but a
wonderful hitter. I saw him play
a number ..f games last summer.
Everybody was after him. Including
the (Hants. But although the price
for his release was high, we were
glad to pay it.
“Simmons not only can hit, but also
call field and run the bases. He is
a natural lsill player and I figure
him n-m as a regular member of the
Athletics, lie will be assigned to left
Held, with Miller in center and Strand
in right. Well have the heaviest
batting outfield in itv American
league, unless 1 don't know baseball."
If Mack's predictions are fulfilled
the Athletics will be first division

country is to get the birds to linger
during the lull migration and the
biggest problem is to feed the birds
where they will not be molested.
This problem is solved with the in
stitution of game refuges. Tiiese
refuges appeal lo the fisherman as
well as the hunter because they rail
so easily be romrrted into natural
breeding grounds for all game fisli
and can be supervised as such by
I he same men who have to be in
charge of the game. There will be
fishi allowed in season as on
other public waters.
The bill further provides ^hat the
commission shall apportion certain of
the acquired lands as public shooting
grrountlo where any holder of a fed
eral hunting licence shall Is) per
mitted to take game birds as provided
by law. This purposes to prevent the
leasing of lands contiguous to game
tefugea by clubs and individuals who
would receive undeserved benefits
from the expenditure of public money.
This is one of the most important
clauses in the whole measure. It
carries a promise to the man of
moderate means, and to the boy, that
the lucky man with a lot of money
cannot step in and get the hunting
which is rightly to lie enjoyed by all
hunters.
