FREEZES TWO TOES
IN MIDST OF GAME

Iowa City, Iowa, Dec. Ito
freeze two toes while in the heat
Of lively basketball scrimmage is
the somewhat unique experience Of
Frank Shimek of Iowa City, for
ward on the university basketball
five. Shimek complained Of his
feet being cold during the workout
in the unheated gym, but his com
panions thought he was fooling,
and it was not until the practice
was ended that the truth was made
evident. Two middle toes of one
foot was frozen to a dead white.
+ About two hours work was nee
essary to bring life back to the
frozen members. Shimek's basket
ball shoe was slightly wet when he
put it on, and this is probably the
explanation for the queer incident.

DUSKY EX-CHAMP
THROWS BULL IN
MEXICAN ARENA

Mexico City, Dec. 16.-Butted
over the fence, but not out, Jack
johnson, the Negro prize fighter,
entered the bull ring Sunday after
noon and successfully completed
his debut as q toreador by knock
ing out the bull. Then, to pro, Q
that the victory was no -fluke, the
ex-champion flattened a second
bull. 5-.-
Johnson's social triumph nearly
ruined him before the bouts ever
began. Entering the ring, he ran
into a tumult of cheering and
strobe across to the boxes Of the
aristocracy. paused, posed, aud
then bowed deeply. Some one Sc
lected this exact moment to open
the gate Of the bull pen, whereat
Johnson's advisory, unknown to the
negro, plunged blindly across the
arena. The impact OF the bulls
forehead striking johnson In the
rear. knocked him onto the rail Of
the boxes.
Johnson clambered back into the
arena where the bull was now
safely corralled by two Mexican
picadores. Then the bout began.
The bull butted johnson in the solar
plexus, the negro clinging to the
bulls horns, yelling to the pic1-
dores for help.
In the end the picadores finished
the bull by exploding charged darts
under the hide Of its tanks. The
animal, thus distressed, was easy
for johnson, who walked boldly up
and planted his stick between its
shoulders for the knockout.

WILL NOT FIGHT
FOR SOME TIME

Chicago, Dec. 16.-Tony Melichar,
local heavyweight, who distinguish
ed himself recently by knocking out
Sergeant Jack Burke in one minute,
will not be able to engage in an
other bout for some time Man
agerial troubles will prevent his
ring activity, for Harry Forbes,
who claims q contract as manager
of Melichar, yesterday was granted
a temporary injunction in Kenosha
restraining the boxer from scrap
ping under the management OF any
other manager. Melichar had de-
clined to box for Forbes, and in the
Burke bout was managed by Kid
Howard.

the latest to hop onto the trail Of
Jimmy Wilde. Everett claims that
he can make 112 pounds. and is
willing to do it for a mixup' with
the British hyweight champion.

was closed yesterday, and will be
staged at Kenosha, Jan. Z. The
managers of the scrappers posted

siderable interest in the bout be-
tween frankie Callahan and Tom
my Holderson at East Chicago Fri
day night. Callahan's recent knock
out Of Paddy Clancy, one Of Holder
sons greatest rivals, has keyed the
fans up q bit, and they are look
ing for another knockout on Fri

O'BRIEN SUCCEEDS
FOSTER OF GIANTS
IN OFFICIAL POST

New York. Dec. 1e.-It was an
nounced Sunday that Joseph D.
O'Brien of Milwaukee, former pres
ident Of the American association,
has been appointed secretary Of the
New York Giants. O'Brien succeeds
John B. Foster, who held the posi-
ton seven years.
No reason was given for the dis
missal Of Foster, but it was rum
ored in baseball circles that he was
let out because he was too close
to the Hampstead interests in the
club. Foster was a friend of Hemp
stead. the former president. Mrs.
Hampstead, daughter of the late
John T. Brush, inherited his stock
at his death and refused to sell her
holdings to Stoneham. who bought
a majority Of the stock a year ago.
1t is said the club did not wish to
have secretary too closely asso-
ciated with the minority interests
The change seemed a surprise to
Foster, whose only comment last
night was that he supposed the
club wanted new secretary and
got. one.

FRENCH WANT TO
STAGE BOUT ON
JULY IA, PARIS

Jack Dempsey, worlds heavy
weight champion, and Georges
Carpenter of France, his chal-
lenger for the crown, will fight it
out on French soil on the evening
of July IA, 1920 (Bastile day. if ef-
forts now being made are carried
through to completion: That's the
latest information concerning this
contest
While Dempsey would prefer that
the battle takes place in this coun-
try, he is not opposed to making
the trip abroad to scrap providing
the inducements are sufficient. Ac-
cording to word from Jack Kearns.
the champions manager, he no
longer will stand in the way of =
match in Europe, the only bar be-
ing a bid of money too small for
Dempseys consideration.
1t is known that Carpenter is
opposed to coming to America to
fight. In fact, it has been known
for a long time that the European
champion would not even make a
visit here without a bout in view.
Undoubtedly he will insist that his
proposed battle with Dempsey be
held in Paris, SO if there is fight
it will be necessary for the champ
ion to step right into Gay Paree -
make it possible.
Mons. TheO Vienen of Paris is
the man who hopes to stage the
Dempsey-Carpentier scrap July Ii.
and word from the French capital
indicates the promoter intends to
make the bout one Of the greatest
fistic attractions the world ever has
known. 1t is his plan to hold it in
Pershing Stadium, which will seat
more than $4,000 people, where he
figures that with a capacity crowd
the championship would be mil

OLD MASTER OF THE RING GAME
HAS SHOWED ST. PAUL BANTAM
MANY OF HIS FAMOUS STUNTS
II Mckenna Should Happen to Land
Squarely It will be Hard on
CapOni

Mike Gibbons thinks SO much OF
Sapho McKenna's chances to put
Tony Caponi away Thursday night
at the Empire rink before Babe
Meanor's club that he writes he Is
willing to wager a neat sum that
the st. Paul lad can turn the trick
on the elusive freak.
Mckenna has been under the tute-
lage Of the phantom Mike for a
long time and has acquired much
OF the skill OF that wonderful mas
ter of ringcraft. Added to this Nc
Kenna is known to be puncher
OF more than ordinary ability, one
that shoots his punches direct from
tho shoulder. There is no doubt
that II one lands directly it is going
10 put Tony in trouble, but then
that "if" has a whole lot to do with
it. Tony is about as hard a thing
for anyone to connect squarely
with as there is in the ring game
today.
McKenna, Gibbons and Sapho's
manager, Harry Lennon, are ex-
pected in Rock Island tomorrow
morning. 1t is probable that the
st. Paul trio will hold forth al
Bob Marks gymnasium. Gibbons is
expected to act as sparring partner
to McKenna and this will give the
bugs a chance to see the flash al
close range.
There is hardly any doubt bll
that this affair will prove one OF
the best ever staged at the Empire
pavilion. The fans have been
clamoring for . chance to see Tony
in action since his memorable de-
feat of Mike Dundee several weeks
ago at Waterloo. Mckenna has
also been stirring things up con,
siderably around the twin-cities o:
late and Promoter Meanor is con-
fident the bout will prove ideal
This seems to be the general con,
census of opinion. judging by the
manner in which the fans a:e
flocking to see the freak bantam
workout with Buck Timothy.
Match Tom Henry.
Meanor announces that on Jan
s he has Dennis O'Keefe of Chicago
and Neal Allison Of Waterloo
matched for the windup. This
promises to be a great battle. Ton
Henry of the worlds champion In
dependents. has been promised
snatch with the winner Of the
Young Gilmore-Eddie Summers
semi-windup Of Thursday night
Tom is no novice at the game and
his many friends will relish the
chance to see him in action. He
acquired lot of boxing skill from
no less a parsonage than Packy
Mcfarland.
