Charging that the recent move is kimed "to disgust and discourage Landis at the start," Colonel Huston expressed' the opinion, that Jquge Landis will quickly find means to curb Johnson and his puppets."

' . : - Fistic Follower Still Believe if I .. ... f Dempsey Will Put Frenchman to Sleep in Early Rounds of Fight By RALPH WAGNER , With the Jack Dempsey-Bill Bren nan championship scrap' a thing-of the past, the tongues of fistic follow ers throughout the-United States are wagging ceaselessly about the out come of the the battle' between the "Utah Mauler" and Georges Carpen tier, scheduled to be held some time next year. The Dempsey-Carpentier mix will be a' championship , made principally because it is an interna tional clash, not because it is believ ed it will be a great battle between a pair of evenjy matched scrappers. Perhaps in all this world there aren't very many people who believe that the Frenchman is any better than a set-up for Dempsey,. in spite of the poor showing the latter made against Brennan last week. jIany fistic fans are of the opinion; that Carpentier is being pushed into the ring to take the inevitable punching and the temporary sleep. There 'are some who believe that the5 French man is going to receive terrific. pun ishment before the fight' is over, and this way of figuring provides an argument that probably won t be set tled. 'until they get together in the ring. .. 4- . r ' The writer is one who-sides with mxr In signing on base, ball's, dotted foul line, Judge Landis grabs, a job that ain't a job. It's a target. As a judge saturated with he .full ma jesty of the law, his .word was heavier than' a lunch wagoo dough nut fried in hot fat. When he sent a bird away, the bird stayed sent. If the judge follows his reinforced methods in base ball, he will become the Santa Claus of the diamond, and the kid's' will believe in it. again. Base ball doesn't need a house-cleaning. It requires a roughhouse clean ing. And the judge seems to be the boy with the vacuum cleaner. But as the czar of base ball he in herits a citation, that is at once a title and an epithet. An epithet that lias proved an epitaph in more cases than one. When he sends the base ball birds away he will be making enemies, and he knows it. .Which is why he gave the matter the old midnight-oil for several months before accepting. ' , ' Lots 'of Mud Ready. There will be lots of mud thrown in a year or so, when the 1919 world series smear is forgotten. There will be other scandals to 'take the place of the 1919 grease spot. There will be different pillows and different fixers. The sure-thing boys will be around, fat and sasy, 'with the Cer1 tificd bait on the polished hook. ' There will be lots of mud thrown. You can throw mud at a straight man, but you can't make it stick. If the judge just keeps his self-control and slips million dollar fines around like confetti at a Mardi Gras. he will toon have the boys dining out of his gauntlet. , An umpire who ansvvers a ball player back iu ballplayers' language i Indicted Ball Players Say They Will Play Risherg, Weaver and Williams -Planning to Return--Ban ( Johnson Declares Noth- r ing Doing. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leatod W ire. Chicago, Dec. 21. "Swede" Ris herg sends word from the Pacific coast that he will be playing nan again the forthcoming season with some team in the American league. Risberg is one of the gang that stands accused of throwing games and creatine the tremendous scandal that shook up the national game and resulted in Judge Landis being made supreme arbiter. People in Chi cago are inclined to think Risberg is spoofing himself and that he will not play with any, organized team, anywhere. t "Buck Weaver," another of the "spotted ones, has employed counsel to fight the way bark for him, and "Lefty" Williams announced-that he "has an ace in the hole", that will make his return to the game easy. Ban Johnson, president - of the American , league, says emphatie! ly, that none of these men will ever play in the American league agam. It is possible President Comiskey of the White Sox mav endeavor to stop the American league in its ef fort to prosecute the gambling cases, not with any intention ot covering up the guilty players, but with the desire to handle the cases -himself.?; It is possible the indcted Soft may torm tne oasis . tor a outer political battle in the' American- league.

Of course, we believe .that Dempsey will win- by a knock okit. - We'll go just' a bit further and state that we think that the champion will crash his French title aspirant to the canvas in less time than it required to put Mr. Brennan out. ' Those" who know Dempsey, know one thing", and that is that champion isn't the type of fighter that punishes his opponents before knocking them out.
