RICHARD WILL GIVE
SCHRECK A CHANCE
Believes Cincinnati Fighter Is the
Best Heavyweight in
the Business,

Chicago, Dec 9.-There is a. great
chance that the next contest to be held
in Nevada after the settling of the
Gans-Herman match will be between
heavyweights. Tex Rickard, who pro
noted the Gans-Nelson fight, Informed
Billy Nolan, manager Of Mike Schreck,
that he would like to put Mike on out
there and would try to arrange it with
either O'Brien or Burns.
Rlckard is much impressed by
Schreck's fighting abilities, and figures
that he would be good opponent. And
tight there he has the right dope, for
Sehreck's record proves that he is one
OF the very best heavyweights now be-
fore the public. He has defeated such
men as Marvin Hart, George Gardner,
John Willie, Dave Barry and the
present champion, Tommy Burns. Ger.
taln!y record like that calls for more
consideration than Mike has been
given. 0'
But it is not Mike s fault, for he has
tried hard, and failed. only because such
men as Burns, Kaufman, Berger and
O'Brien have persistently sidestepped
him for easier game. The way Burns
sneaked out of q match with Schreck
was disgusting: Berger was offered the
entire purse if he could stay twenty
rounds with Mike. and o 'Brien has per.
slstently given poor excuses and prom
ises when he had no intention Of FIJI
filing them. -~. 49,. =. : -. = > -
p Schreck, Of course, will accept anv
offer made for a match with O,Brien or
Burns immediately. He has been irving
hard and is certain that he can beat
any Of them. as-,ss 10 49,. - -

'tDoyle was great player when

name for himself. He also played great
ball afterwards, and it was his knowl-
edge of the game that made him so
valuable to the teams he was with.
He made a success as manager at
Des Moines and will keep the brewers

the bench and work on the same lines
as Cantillion did. I also expect that
Harry Clark will be back, as Pitts

Texas. H. F.

Special to The Journal.
New York, Dec. 8.-Two kilograms
have been received from Charles j.
Glidden, who is making his world tour
in an automobile. On Dec. he was
at FL Paso, Texas, having completed
4 liI4e5 miles of railroad travelling over
his world mileage.
Mr.. Glidden encountered cold winds,
snow and rain during the later portion
Of his ride thru Texas, in his machine
fitted with Hanged railway wheels, and
the ride was anything but comfortable.
On Dec. 5 he was at Alamogordo,
and wired that he had Just mounted the
pass known, as the Cloudcloft Pass,
which is 5000 feet above the level Of
the sea, and the approach to which is
twenty-five miles long by rail-
This was concluded on Dec. e hv
Mr.. Glidden and his party, on the first
speed all the way, which is by far
the longest and most tiresome grade or
hlll-climbing exploit ever mplished
by an automobile.

CURRIERS' PLAN TO
BOOM THE SPORT
NO AUTO RAGING
IN CUBA THIS SEASON
Wind, Politics and Lack of Cash
Prevent Return Visit. of
, Chauffeurs.

Chicago, Dec. 8.-There will be no
automobile racing in Cuba this winter.
This is the report brought from New
York by motorists returning from the
| independent show at the Grand Central
palace and the sessions of the Ameri-
can Automobile association. Great prep.
aratlons had been under consideration
for brilliant season at the Cuban cap.
1tal, but the revolution, storms and poll.
tics have SO upset the island that all
thought of carrying out another meet
similar to the two that have preceded
it have been abandoned.
"Speed merchants in the snow
| bound states will receive this report
| with sorrow, for the long stretch of
wide. smooth road over which these
races were held were source Of Joy
to the driver of the cred devil'' seek.
ing to annihilate time and space.
The first meet was held there early
in 1905 and was won by Senior E. j
Conill, president of the international
Automobile, association Of Cuba. Last
year Victor Demogeot, who replaced
Hemery in the Ormond meet, was the
victor, with the eight horsepower cal
| that finished first in the Vanderbilt
cup race a few months previous. His
time for the 217-mile course was
3:28:29, an average of SOFT miles an
hour.
Hurricanes Interfere.
Many things have occurred to make
this meet impossible. Hurricanes have
mer. leaving trail Of disaster in their
wake. War, too, has done much to
lower, the financial condition of the
Cubans and has prevented the repair
of the great road over which the races
have been held. but which was badly
torn by the summer storms.
Investigation by Cubans interested
showed that it might be possible to in
duce the provisional government to
spend $4,000 or $1,000 to repair the road
as far as San Cristobal, for sooner or
later it will have to make these repairs
anyway. In addition the city council
of Havana might be induced to make
its former appropriation of $4,000 for
prizes, but it is not believed this would
be sufficient.
Not Anxious to Pay.
To accomplish all this some prominent
member of the Havana Automobile club
would have to undertake. the task of
prone citing the race and it has been i'm.
, possible to find anyone willing to under:
take the job. Senior Ramon Mendoza
hs 1s for e To SpTi
meets, but he has refused to under
take it again, according to these re-
ports. Word from Senior Mendoza has
been received in New York and he is
quoted as saying: =
IT am tired Of this work. You may
get two Cubans to pull together, but
three-no. It is the same in sport as
in politics. It will require from $4,000
to 900 to get up the races, and I
have not the time to devote to raising
the money or attending to the work it
entails.''
