AR be it from us to make any pre
diction on the probable outcome
of the bhig baseball embroglio he
tween Ban Johnson Harry Frazee,
Harry Hempstead and others ir volving
the justly celebrated William Howard
Taft, but things look to be in a Dlg
mess, ad should be immediately str light
ened out, or at the earliest possible mo
ment, anyhow The prolongation of the
present argument is souring the fans
more and more on our great national
game.
The consensus of opinion among base
ball writers who know whereof they
speak, is that Mr Taft is the man for
the berth as one-man National Commis.
sfon, to look after the matters hereto
fore coming before Garry Herrmann,
Johmson and Tener, who composed the
high court of baseball. No introduction
is required for Mr. Taft It = not ad
verse to add, however, that he is a real
baseball fan and has always taken a
great amount of interest in the sport.
There are some who think he is not
suited for the job, owing to his never
having any connection with the game,
but it iz a false impressison Mr. Taft
has never been enrolled in the game,
but he is well-up on the tricks of the
trade, and a splendid arbiter for all
matters.
Then the seat at the head of the Na
tional League is empty, 80 far as a real
ruler is concerned. John Heydler, for
years one_of the leading mea of the
jeague, and a business man from top to
bottom, is at present acting as presi
dent, taking over the jobh when .uohn
K. Tener stepped out Mr. Heyvdler
seems to be the choice of the hig league
sporting writers, but there are other
candidates for the position. Mr. Heydler
has the inside track, it seems, and prob
ably will be elected to the presidency,
which would be a good move, apparent
ly, from this distance
80 much has been written about the
reconstruction plans of the magnates
and what must be done with the inter
nal part of the pastime. The moguls,
first of all, should agree to eliminate
all matters pertaining to the financial
side from the public prints. The only
way to add to this is to quit talking
gubllcly on baseball deals, and give no
int of a trade or gale until it has been
completed. Then keep the price on
the dark side.
Baseball fans will, never again, stand
for the magnates running over them.
The fans like to see good, hot battles,
and the only way to furnish that sort of
amusement i for the club managers
and officials to see to it that the play
ers hustle to keep their ])nhu. It they
do not, they should be relegated to the

BIG CHAMP
<
BIG MP
{ By JAMES J. CORBETT.
| ACK DEMPSEY is wild in his eag
| erness to try conclusions with Jess
‘, Willard over the distance route
| And every boxing enthusiast in Amer
| ica fervently hopes s e
| that such a matcl | 3
| will be made. Bul :

into the ring ‘TE
l It is quite likely ? ""’?:gi ’\ Vi
| that Willard wili b A .
go down in history ; &
as the only unde ¢
seated heavyweigh!
champion B ut y %
| there will be no §
glory in it for him 5 o 3
He has remainec @ 4 4
| unbeaten, not be § %
cause he whipped § g 4
| every man who § ‘
was a worthy foe # 3
| but rather because & R ; =
he carefully has avoided taking them on
One fight in nearly four years as
a champion-—and that fight a short, no
decigion bout against a man who was
something over 50 pounds lighter and
nearly 6 inches shorter
| That is Willard's record
| No man who is fond of the boxing
game can view Willard's actions with
lout a feeling akin to disgust If there
{ had been no real men for him to fight'
gince 1915 then me Inacivity of Willard
| would have been excusable But since
the day that the giant Westerner flat
'tened Jack Johnson in Cuba, several
I men have performed sufficiently well in
|a pugilistic way to warrant their being
| given a chance at the championship.
| If Willard had taken on even one of
| these men in a decision bout he would
{ not have lost such a tremendous amount
| of the prestige he gained in Havana.
| Willard has conducted himself unlike
any heavyweight champion in ring his
|tory. John l. fought practically every
| man who wanted to fight him. When
{ Bob Fitzsimmons took the champion
{ Bhip from me he didn't remain long in
Imh-nm.s. The publiec demanded that he
| meet Jim Jeffries, a man far more pow
| erful and bigger in every way than was
| Fitzsimmons, Game old Bob took on the
big Californian,
Jeffries fought every man who seemed
| worthy of a trial. Those whom he
| whipped once who insisted upon a return
Imatch, got it—and were whipped again.
| Jeffries was no fluke champion. When
{ he cleared the pugilistic horizon of every
| real rival, then—and only then—did he
| retire from the ring game And five
| vears later when Jeffries had passed his
| pugilistic prime—five years after retire
| ment—Jeffries came out of it at the
| public's call to fight Jack Johnson.
What a contrast is furnished in the
| case of Jeffries and Willard.
| For more than three years the public
has clamored for Willard to ‘‘meet some
one in defense of your title,”” But Wil
l Jard has ignored every such request.
Earlier his excuse was that the pugilis
‘lJu; @o] (VA OU JO 1§BO( P[NOD PIIOM ON
him, But since the advent of Jack
|lh-mpsz-_v. Willard has not made any
| such excuse, but merely has avoided
:nw making of a match with the new
wonder of the pugilistic world.
' “Who would win if Willard and
| Dempsey actually did meet?”’ is the moot
| question of pugilism today
i The quizz can be answered definitely
jonly if the two men ever get into the
{‘rinz and that is unlikely Isut, if by
| some miracle performance Willard de
| cides to take on Pempsey, [ daresay
| that Jack would go into the ring a fav
| orite in the betting and with a splendid
| chance of victory
| Dempsey is something like 60 or 70
pounds lighter than Willard, about 6
inches shorter and would have to “spot”
Willard a number of inches in reach.
But, just the same, Dempsey is one of
i the most remarkable fighters that the
ring game ever has known, He has
|a wallop unlike that of any man since
John L.'s days He is rugged to an
| extreme, can stand up under terrific
| punigshment and has more than the av
| erage boxing skill.e® He is game, clear
| through, has the aggressiveness—and
| the speed-—of Terry McGovern at his
| best, and certainly would put up a whirl
wind battle Dempsey right now is in
perfect physical condition—at his fight
!m;: best.
Just what Willard's condition would
El»o- even after three or four months of
| rigorous training, is a big problam
| Willard claims that he has been Kkeep
ing in fair shape ever since he became
| the champion; and it wouldn't take him
-‘lmuz to get into condition for a fight
{ But 1 doubt this considerably My ex
| perience in the ring game has shown
me that unless a man remain active
he slips away from perfection The
longer the inactivity, the farther he
slips It certainly would take Willard
three or four months to get into fight
ing condition And even then, it ig not
sure whether he would be anywhere
near to the shape he was in when he
fought Johnson in April 1915,
If the two men meet it is a certainty
that Dempsey will be in superb condi
tion—and it is a great problem as to
Willard., Therefore, should the two men
ever battle, all the odds would favor a

Black Demon Missed,
.
But Noroflk Did Not
NEW YORK, Deec. 3.-—~They dug up a
fellow to box Kid Norfolk in Bridgeport
the other night. A big, dusky demon he
sald he was, and he even insisted on
dressing in Norfolk’'s quarters in order to
announce just what was coming to Nor
folk
“Git out of dis dressing room or I'll
fan yoah chin,” threatened Norfolk.
“ANh'll jess bet vou one hundred bucks
dat you'll do no chin fannin’ eider in dig
room or out in de ring. Ah hab de hun
dred men right chere, and ah'll be dn|
stake-holder,” said the demon
All hands r paired to the ring and the 1
demon was floored with the first punch, |
As he got up he Kissed his right gloved
fist and said
“To Keed No'fo'k, with mah ebbeh, eb
beh lovin’' regahds.”
And the demon swung. And the demou
missed. And the demon passed from this
world to the land of dreams where pink
cows and lavender birds abound!
Norfolk had not missed!

SEASON IS
BY CHARLES SHONESY.
HE Inter-class Basketball L.eague
gets under way at Tech High to
day The freshmen will open the
seuson, and there are already five teams
organized. :
There is some excellent material
among the under class men and this
method nas been adopted to develop the
future teams of the school. 'The other
‘«‘lu.\.\t-s will get organized as soon as
possible and then rech High will have
‘lx league of its own, :
It is understood that the varsity five
will start practice the latter part of
this week. “The Tech High boys are
sore over the defeat nandeu their eleven
by Boys' High School last Saturday, and
they answered tne call of the basket
ball coach in large numbers. :
Tech High has some good material
and a great team should be developed.
Joe Bennett is the captain of the bas
ketball team and the Smithies are con
fident that the second team he handles
forthem shall have greater success than
the football team.
Fulton High has been practicing for
several weeks and as most last year's
squad are present this year the boys
are scheduled to raise some dust. They
have never been off the bottom before,
but they say that the future has a bet
ter outiook than the past.
G. M. A, champions of last season,
will be represented by a strong team
and one that they are confident will re
peat last year's success. The College
Park boys always possess wonderful fight
and with a man like Mr. David at the
helm they are due to set the world
afire,
Boys' High has some fine material and
a few of last year's players. Just who
will coach the boys ig doubtful, but they
are after a good one, and claim that
after the defeat they administered to
their rivals last Saturday, thereby break
ing the Jinx, they are going to mop up
