TWO BIDS MADE
FOR BIC BOUT
Eddie Kane Will Match
Mike Gibbons with
Georges Carpenter.

New York, Dec: 26.-Two offers are
now under consideration by Eddie
Kane. manager of Mike Gibbons, star
OF American middle weights. for a
meeting between the famous Ameri-
can and EuTOpe's most renowned
boxer. Georges Carpenter.
: There is little doubt that such a
match can be made. The only ques-
zion arising in the minds of the box
crs is the amount of cash that will be
offered for their efforts. Kane. just
returned from England and France.
did not state what surcs have been
offered. but declared he was giving
each offer careful consideration and
fntimated one will be accepted.
Kane. still an American seaman.
had not communicated with Gibbons
regarding the offer and cannot tell in
what condition Mike is and whether
he is willing TO go to Europe for the
bout
Carpenter in the air service for his
country during the war, has met no
one since hOstilities opened in 1914
with the exception of short encOunt-
crs behind the lines with men of
doubtful ability. He has, however.
Kept himself in excellent condition. II
reports are to be believed. and will
be ready TO give Mike the fight of his
life
Carpenter outweighs the American
flash sufficiently t. give him some
advantage. but despite reports of Car
psHtier's speed it is certain he will be
at some disadvantage when pitted
aEainst the flashy methods of Glib
bOns.
The bout would create great inter
est. for it would establish sports re-
lations again with Europe. and in
bringing Gibbons and Carpenter to-
Eether the promoters would he dis
playing the highest type of boxer
from each country.
Efforts are now being made to
match Gibbons with Jack Dempsey.

per would prefer a bout with Carpen-

BOXING NOTES.

Extra, Jess Willard says that he
Will fight next spring. From his DOM
icile somewhere out West he has is
sued the statement that he will con-
sent to fight Jack Dempsey when the
daisies bloom. He prefers, however,
the French champion, Georges Car
pentier to Dempsey. After seeing
Jack in action one can hardly blame
Jess for that.
Battling Levinsky has no intention
OF quitting the ring. He is training
again and wants another match
against Jack Dempsey. After that,
win or lose, he will box Cowler or
anybody else.
Paul SAMSON. the New York light
heavyweight, has started training,
and wants to get on match with
Battling Levinsky or Tom Cowler.
Battling Levinsky has sent three
letters to Al. Lippe. in Philadelphia,
asking him to arrange some bouts for
him at either the National A. c. or
the Olympia A. A. in Philadelphia.
Lippe has not decided as yet whether
to book up Levinsky for bouts, as he
would sooner see Levinsky and Dan
Morgan patch up their differences be-
fore he books up any matches for
him. Lippe has already asked Levin
sky to try and straighten out his
troubles with Morgan. The different
managers of fighters are hoping thai
Levinsky and Morgan get together
again.
1t was reported from New Orleans
that 1000 spectators witnessed the
Jack Dempsey-Carl Morris bout on
Monday night. Dempsey received $4,000
and Morris s1.255.

DEMPSEY TELLS
METHODS USED
Heavyweight Explain S
Blows That Finished Carl
Morris at New Orleans.

The customary disagreement among
onlookers as 10 the kind of blow that
brought the bout to an end has de-
veloped in regard TO the battle" be-
tween Jack Dempsey and Carl Nor
ris at New Orleans last week.
A majority of the ringside reports
declared that it was left TO the body
that sent the big Oklahoman to the
canvas for the final count. Several
historians insisted it was a succession
of blows that toppled over the burly
Morris.
Dempsey yesterday came 10 the
rescue with a clear statement of his
tactics and a description of the blows
that laid Morris out for the count.
The victor said:
Morris began roughing it right at
the start. We went to a clinch and
MOI ris threw his arms around my
necA to bear me down with his
weight. just ducked a little, hooked
him in the stomach with my left and
then crossed with my right Then il
was finished.
4 thought Morris was big enough
TO let him have it, so | did, and |
don't think it mattered much
whether it happened in the first OF
some other round"
As Dempsey took all the fight ou,
of Fulton at Harrison with a left to
the body, it becomes evident that his
southpaw is a dangerous weapon. Al
the same time his right is very eff
fective and tends to make the pre-
dicament of his opponents serious. to
say the least.
If Billy Miske is desirous OF re.
newing the dispute he had with
Dempsey at Philadelphia some
weeks ago the opportunity confrontz
him Dominick Tortorich has Of.
fered the pair a good purse to meet
in the Crescent City during Mard
Gras week.
The contest would be of 20 rounds
At the conclusion of so long a battle
there would be little doubt as L
which man was the better fighter
especially if it failed to go that far
As Dempsey already has accepteC
the offer from the Southern pro
moter. it remains for Miske to de
eide II the match is to be made.
Dempsey Is of the opinion tha
Miske would be so tired before tn,
twentieth round was reached that tn,

six-round contest in Philadelphia.

BIC DEAL is
HANGING FIRE
Garry Hermann Paving
Way to Quit Cincinnati
Reds; Fleischmann Be-
hind McCraw.

It's going to be a hectic session for
the winter league. The rumor fac
tory is working in double shifts and
in the maze OF conjecture concern
ing the probable formation of the
National Commission is the well
founded fact that August Hermann,
having set the stage for his fight to
retain his berth at the head of the
board, intends soon to dispose of his
holdings in the Cincinnati Reds and
seek the votes of his fellow club
owners on the ground he is free of
all team affiliations.
In connection with this move are
two stories, both of which hinge
upon the probable sale of the Reds.
One is that John McGraw, backed
by Julius FIeischmann, will buy the
club and install Pat Moran as mana
ger, McGraw retaining his position
as leader of the Giants.
Another story. confirmation Of
which thus far has been impossible.
is that Fleischmann intends to set
tie the affairs of the Reds and pur-
chase the Giants for MCGraw, Moran
becoming manager of the New York
club. 1t is certain, however a big
deal is hanging fire, and insiders in
sist McGraw will bob up as owner
of a major league club in the early
future.
Hermann and Fleischmann ar
rived in Cincinnati this morning ana
will meet today to settle the affairs
of the Redland club. Fleischmann is
owed a large sum in interest on
bonds of the club and it is reported
he will take over the Reds unless
Hermann and other stockholders
make good.
REGARDLESS of what arrangement he
makes concerning the financial affairs
of the team, it is certain Hermann is
going to withdraw. He is banking
everything on his effort to retain the
craftsmanship of the commission. In
view of the fact that National League
club owners objected to him as chair
man because of his connection with
the Reds and not for personal reasons
Hermann figures he will be accepted
provided he sacrifices his interests in
the Reds. That Is the situation to-
day.
That F'Ieischmann has been dissat-
isfied with Herrmann's management
of the clubs affairs has been an open
secret for months. The club was a
heavy loser last season and the sea-
son before and Fleischmann is report
eS to be anxious to sell his Interests
and invest the money in another ma
jor league proposition. Whether he
will buy the Giants is question that
has local baseball circles by the ears.
Fleischmann has long been an ad-
mirer of McGraw. He has several
times been reported negotiating for
the purchase of the Giants. McGraw
and Fleischmann conferred during the
meeting of the National League at
the Waldo.f. but neither would di-
vulge the subject of their talk. It is
fact, however. that McGraw has
been anxious for a number of years
to own the Giants, and on several oc-
casions has had ample financial
backing lined up for deals that failed
to materialiZe.

BOXING BILLS
MAY Be PASSED
Measures in Illinois and Ne
braska Bid Fair to Be
Enacted.

Advocates of professional boxing
in Illinois and Nebraska are max
ing every effort to have the sport
established legally. in both States.
according to reports from the West.
In Nebraska it is believed that a
bill known as the Melady bill. spon-
SoTed by Gene Melady. has an eN-
Callent chance of being accepted
when it is introduced before the
legislature at Lincoln. The Melady
bill is said to have more attractive
points and stronger backing than
previous measures which were de-
feated by small votes, and follow
ers of the sport in the cOrn-husking
State are hopeful boxing will be
permitted.
The support of soldiers returning
from France and from camps in
various parts of the country is
seemingly assured. and II is expect
ed that the incoming governor. 8.
r. Mckelvie. will approve the bill
providing it passes both houses of
the legislature.
One of the latest supporters of the
bill which will be submitted to the
Illinois Legislature is Robert w.
Mckinley. a county commissioner
and former State representatives. Nc
kinley. in a statement, declared in
favor of the sport mainly because
he believed in teaching the youth
Of the nation the art of selfdefens".
and regarded training of this nature
as being highly beneficial! not only
from a physical but also from a
mental standpoint. The readiness
with which soldiers and sailors took
to the sport during the war Is re-
garded as a point in favor of the
bill 1t is probable that represents
tives of the army and navy will be
appointed TO positions on the body
governing the sport if it is estab-
Iished lawfully.

GIBBONS WANTS MORE
TIME FOR TRAINING

New York, Dec. 26.-As Mike Glib
bons has asked for four more weeks
in which to train for his bout with
Soldier Bartfield at Minneapolis. it
is a sure thing that the men will
not come together in their ten-round
bout. which was slated to be fought
on January II. Bartfield's manager
has agreed to have the bout put
back four weeks rather than have
Gibbons call it off altogether. Bart
field may book up with Jack Malone,
the St Paul fighter, at Minneapolis,
on January IA. as Promoter Mike
Collins is anxious to stage this bat
tie.

BEDWELL TOPS
TRAINERS LIST
Heads Both in Number of
Races Won and in Total
Amount Of Money.

New York, Dec 26.-H. Guy BedwelI.
who handles the horses for Command
er J. X. l. Ross, the Canadian
sportsman. headed the list of winning
trainers in thoroughbred racing last
season. both in the number of races
won and in the amount of stakes and
purses.
According to statistics just COM
piled by the Daily Racing Form. Bed
well won fifty-three races, for a total
of $50, 80. Billy Kelly, for which
Commander Ross paid a fancy price
at Saratoga Springs last August. and
Cudgel. winner of the Brooklyn
Handicap among other stakes. were
largely responsible for this total.
Walter B. Jennings. trainer of the
A. X. Macomber horses, was only a
shade behind Bedwell, with S79.443 TO
his credit in thirty-six races, while
Billy Karrick. who. handled w. r
Goes horses among others. finished
third with SG5,Gl5 in forty races. and
Kimball Patterson fourth, with $50. 35S
in only eight races.
Patterson owes his forward place In
the list to Eternal. which won the
rich Hopeful Stakes and the special
race with Billy Kelly, among others,
and earned a place among the four
best 2-year-olds of the year.
Tom Healey. trainer of the r. T.
Wilson horses. won twenty seven
races and $4S,S7S. finishing sixth on
the list. while Bill Hogan. thanks to
Dunboyne, the Futurity winner, land
ed in tenth place with s43,3H in four
teen races.
Smiling Jimmy" Fitzsimmons was
fifth in the number of races won with
forty-fOur. and eleventh in the
amount of money won with $42.717.
He had few high-class stake horses
under his care and consequently de-
served the greater credit.

Americans seem to have discovered
for the first time that this port is

continental Europe. This holds out
brilliant future for the port in the

One of the foremost American engin-
GERS recently said he would like to
undertake to make this the great
commercial port of Europe, and he
believed this would certainly resu t

landing soldiers and supplies here,
America is paving the way to making
this the first port of Europe and the
landing terminal for the commercial
penetration of Europe from the west.
