Fate Keeps on Teasing Sam Langford
Not Ring Against Negro
Contender Paris December 20
By John E. WRAY

Johnson is hurt and may not be fit to
keep his engagement, on Dec. 20. Spinal
injuries are slow to heal and seldom
leave the afflicted person sound. John
son may, therefore, have to call off
his Paris bout.
But the fight has not yet been called
off; Johnson may need the dough so
badly that he'll take any chance But
it's much more likely that the fight
will never take place.
Bad For White Hopes.
Even if it does, there's nothing in it
for tie white hopes, who have as an
excuse for existence the hope they
may bring back the championship to
the white race. For, should LangfOrd
win, as he undoubtedly would, he'd be
a much more difficult obstacle to over
come than Johnson. Twenty-seven years
old, weighing 1S5 pounds, always in
the pink of condition, nothing that re-
sembles a white hope now could hope
to cope with the black mans alleged
wonderful cleverness and stamina and
speed. Nevertheless the agitation
which demands a white champion has
worked lots of good in a pugilistic
situation that has been in decline in
this country. Since Tommy Burns was
beaten there has not been a real white
heavyweight of Importance developed.
But the men have gained something by
the continued endurance they manifest.
Smith VS.. Moran.
Gunboat Smith and Frank Moran ap-
pear the best of the next ones. They
will undoubtedly be matched in the
near future.

By ". ]. 0'CONN0R.

OF LOUIS. No, Sept lit has
come at Iastl Handicap baseball
- advocated by a magnate. R. l.
Hedges, president of the Browns. has a
proposition TO handicap the major
league clubs so as to insure greater
success for the weaklingS Hist to
Hedges:
Under the present system in the
major leagues, it's extremely hard for
the tail-end clubs TO edge into first
division. The winning clubs make big
money, and for that reason they pay
big money for talent They sometimes
pay fabulous and senselesS prices 1or
promising men The owner of a losing
club would go bankrupt trying to COM
pete against the winners. figuring that
a few of the high-priced individuals
would fail to deliver
Now, what I'm driving at IS this.
Wen take the case of the Giants They
are a winner this year, well say.
McGraw has a team of comparative
Youngsters Yet he may have a weak
link in the chain So he goes forth into
the market and offers $4,000 for class
D league player of promise He gets
him. puts him on the bench and in two
years this player hobs up star
McGraw, who really needs, we'll say, two
players for next season, will Outbid his
rivals and buy 10 or Is players He
takes many promising men who are of
no use to him, but who would help a
second division club. The latter club
has not the financial fOrtification TO
compete with McGraw-
Here's the Handicap.
Now. my idea is to limit McGraw to
25 players on his reserve list. Give the
team which finishes second and the
team which finishes third a limit of p
players. The fourth and fifth place
clubs should have the privilege of put
ting 80 on their reserve, while the sixth.
seventh and eighth place clubs should
I've privileged to retain each year IS
players.
Prevent Reckless Prices.
This would give the losers a larger
squad to pick from. It would prevent
McGraw and the other leaders from
paying reckless and insane prices. 1t
would readjust the game. balance the
league and distribute the pennants.
Now this idea may listen queer, just at
present, but wait and see what happens, 4
III guarantee you one thing: If the
Browns ever win a pennant, If they
ever get up near the top, they'll STAY
there. This for the simple reason that
Wen have the money to outbid other
clubs. Wen get first crack at the
talent and Wen skim the cream from
the crop every season 1 can't under
stand why a manager, capable enough
to win one pennant and probably
