THREE CITIES TRYING TO
 GET BIC FISTIC BOUT
London Paris and New Orleans Clamoring See Jack Dempsey Step Into the Ring and Plaster Car
 pentier for Worlds Title.

The next question is, "Where will Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpen- tier meet to settle the little matter of the worlds fstic championship ?'' So far London, Paris and New Or leans are clamorIng for the bout C. B. Cochrane, who promoted the Car penter-Beckett fight, claims the Frenchman has signed with him to tackle Dempsey, June ', 1920, in London. Carpenter Is to get 35,- 900 pounds for his end. Dempsey hasn't made his demand regarding the coin yet, and when he does Pro- motor cochrane will probably have to go outside and take the air.
 Along the bouIevards of Paris the boys who sit around the cafe tables and call loudly for the waiter are all steamed up over Carpenters victory They are waving their arms and de- claring that Carpenter must meet Dempsey in that dear Paris. M. De- coin. who Is backed by Prince Murat and other prominent sportsmen, has stated he will make a bid for the bout that will knock Dempsey off his chair, or words to that effect.
 And now comes Dominick Torto. rich, the New Orleans promoter who, after taking the oath, swears Jack Dempsey Is already under contract to him to meet Carpenter. He added that he had sent a man to Europe to see Carpenter and get his signature to the articles.
 There will be lot of careless talk about huge sums of money between now and next spring. Anybody who mentions less than S100,O00 will be given the cold shoulder.

HAS~SS

Joe Choyiniski was probably the most successful failure that ever gra ced the prize-ring. Choyintski did a twenty year hitch in the squared circle, met the best heavyweights and light heavies of his period and re- tired with but two really great and conclusive triumphs over first class men. He was Beaten by Hall and Maher nearly every good heavyweight of his time. His draw fights con- stitute some of his finest achievements in the ring-Bob Fitzsirnmons, Dan Creedon, Kid Mccoy. Tom Sharkey, and the then practically unknown but hardly less formidable James J. Jef- fries being included in this list. De- spite repeated reverses Joe Choyiniski was a ''moraP' success in the ring be- cause of the wonderful fights he made, usually against tremendous physical odds. Handicapped by being scarcely heavier than a middle weight Choy- in1skf overcame the drawback to remarkable extent by his keen ring craft, terrific hitting, and unshakable pluck. They called him Game Joe"
 Joe Choyinisiki. a Hebrew and the son of a Rabbi. took up fighting some time back in 1884. His father was learned man and Joe inherited con siderable of his erudition. He was the only one in the Choytniski family who didn't engage in a life pursuit 'of an intellectual character. A thoughtful sage once said that the boy is the miniature of the man and the deduction seemed to fit Choyini- skis case exactly. Joe began fighting when he was a mere boy in short trousers. When other youngsters were Closing in'' on the catechism in Sun day School little Choyiniski was en- toying fights as spectator and parti- cipant at a picnic ground at North Beach, an isolated section of Frisco. Although billed as amateur exhibitions these settos were genuine fights and nothing else. Tow-headed Joe "came through" several of these tournaments and laid the foundation for his spec tacular exploits in the ring.
 Choyiniski's first important mill was with Jim Corbett. The two were reared in the same section ofsFrisco and were bitter from early boyhood. The fight was to have been staged across the bay from Frisco in Marin Country in a barn loft. Some 150 sports accompanied the principals and the betting being brisk each toted a

Then the Colonel called his stenos- rapher and dashed off the following statement:
 Out of pity for poor old Connie Mack we would rather not notice his remarks to the effect that 1t would be 8 good thing for baseball if the New York Yankees would get out. But the idea of Connie reading any body out of anything is so hu- morous that we just can't resist the temptation to say that the Yankees nave been raveHng to Philadelphia during the five years we have owned the club and on few trips have we ever received enough, as the visiting clubs share of receipts, to pay hotel bills and carfare.
 Bugs Baer, the humortst, is au- thority for the statement that Connie Mack has the only ball park in the world where the turnstIes register fractions. On one day the receipts were doubtless the lowest amount ever taken in by major league club. We were paid for 21 persons, q grand total of $4.11. For five years Connie has run last, consistently-al- most dropped out of the league with out any other club to read him out.

six-shoot in case collection of the debt required force. The fighters had been at it for four rounds when the police appeared and boxers and spec tators disappeared. A few days later the battle was resumed on a barge out in San. Francisco Bay where in- reference was out of the question.
 About two hundred people, a mot ley n1fxup of prominent business men, politicians, professional folk and plain "toughs'' witnessed the fray. Nat Goodwin who was showing in Frisco at the time was behind Choyiniski. The bout started early in the morning but Nat wasn't rAed ashore until late afternoon. He missed the per formance for Nat wired the theatre: Cant make it in time, tell audience I can't appear and dismiss them.''
 As for the fight itself that was one of the most vicious on record By many it is accounted Corbett's best ring feat notwithstanding the fact that his opponent was twenty-five pounds lighter. When the men were ready to begin 1t was found that Choytniski's gloves were missing. One of the spectators contributed his driving gloves and Choyiniski donned them. Corbett wore a two ounce nitt which afforded the necessary protection to his hands and was withal a punishing instrument. Cor bett realized this for when offered the driving gloves he returned them to Choyiniski saying, "Use them yourself or fight with bare hands!" Corbett knew a thing or two. He wouldn't even allow Choyiniski to cut the fingers off to procure a tighter grip.
 Corbett had every physical advan- tage and was considerably more sci entific than Choyiniski at that time. At the outset Jim began his rapid jabbing and soon had Game Joe" bleeding. Jack Dempsey, the famous ''Nonpareil," was secondfng Choyin- iski, but he was hardly in fit condi- ton to counsel anyone how to fight.
 Jack was drunk. His insfstent cry to Choyiniski was Stand off and box him Joel" This of course was just to "Pompadour Jim's liking and he had quite the better of the exchanges. However Choyiniskf a terrific hitter was always dangerous. Corbett didn't escape unscratched. Joe every once in while landed a hard rap which shook his clever adversary to the heels.

CALLAHAN TO
 ASK FOR NEW
 COACH AT YALE

Boston, Dec. 6-Tim Cauahan's re- election at New Haven as football captain has more significance than mere presentation of honors. It means that there is going to be a gh-and-tumble housecleaning in the coaching staff for next fall At above even the head coach if he dared to. Tim is no headstroong fellow. However, he will work the resurrec- tion of Yale football by polite and easy means. But his reelection practically seals the doom of Al Sharpe as head coach for 1920.
 It was Tim who first was aware of Sharpe's alleged shortcomings as head coach, and that was as far back as mid-October, when Boston College whipped the Ellis. At that time he wanted a new head coach installed for the balance of the season, but the alumni members of the football com mittee prevailed upon him to stand pat with Sharpe. Tim did so, but with grave nisgivings; and his judg- ment was later proved correct.
 With Tim at the head of football again he is certain to see to it that he has a head coach satisfactory to himself before Yale commences on football again. It may even come to pass that the new coach will be chosen within the next six weeks and that he will assume his job for the spring practice season in April. The new man will be Tad Jones if Tim can have his way.

Valger Regarded As Leading Contender

Benny Xa1gar has finally come to be regarded as the leading contender for Featherweight Champion Johnny Kilban's title. Va1gar has a manager who has an idea of boosting his pro- tege is to make all sorts of ridicu- lous assertions regarding the ability of the little boxer. For a long time it was taken fer granted that valgar must be false alarm simply because his managers claims were so obvi- ously exaggerated. But Valgar has progressed rapidly of late and from now on he will have to be taken more seriously as a genuine contender for the title.

Choytnisli was a whipped man. Both eyes were closed as tight as a clam and he could only fail away at ran dom in the hope of scoring a lucky knockout.
 Nevertheless when the sixteenth round opened Joe rushed over to Cor bett's corner with astonishing agility, shouting: Come out and fight, Cor bett!" In the seventeenth round Joe brought cheers from the crowd by making Corbett reel from several heavy swings.
 Corbett recovered, however. and Choyinski's one chance of winning vanished. Nevertheless Corbett was having no easy time with his man. It has even been said that he wanted the sponge tossed in the ring when the twenty-frst round was about to start, claiming one of his hands was broken.
 Billy Delaney pointed to Choyinis- kis corner and growled "Stick to it Jim. Look at Joe. He can't keep it up much 1onger!'
 Corbett scored q knock down in that round and Delaney always claim ed that had he not no human force could have made Corbett continue the fight. In the twenty round Choy1n1SkIS s seconds wanted 10 stop the fight but Joe, although terribly battered and weakened, struggled on- At last in the twenty-seventh Game Joe," blinded and thoroughly beaten, collapsed.
 Choyiniski remained in a Turkish bath for two weeks before his coun- tenance was restored to an appear ance fit for San Francisco streets.
 Choyiniskis really great victories were over Jim Hall, the famous Aus tralian whom he knocked out in thir- teen rounds while fighting with two broken ribs, and Peter Maher whom he dropped in two rounds after hurricane struggle.
 Choyiniski once knocked Kid Mo Coy cold in the third round but was robbed of the fight when the referee allowed the Kid to stay on the floor eighteen seconds. Mccoy brought down Joe with his terrible 'cork- screw'' punch in the next round.
 Bob FItzsimmons was almost knocked out in the first round by Choyiniski in their five round draw in Boston. Fitz afterward explained that he was so bewi1dered he fancied all of the chairs in the gallery were

the propriety of a change of owner ship in the Athletics The club for a long term of years has not contributed to the prosperity of the league in pro- portion to the population of Philadel- phia-
 Philadelphia has shown itself in the past to be one of the very best baseball cities in America, and the poor management in the last few years has made it the worst.
 'Too much praise must have made Connie Mack think himself a genius. So great grew his opinion of his own ability that he broke up the greatest ball club in history, thinking, of course, he could build another at odd non ents. But somehow 1t didn't work Like the small boy with the watch apart, he couldn't get it to- gether again. And now Connie Is try ing to read us out. He says we have 9 ball club and no ball park. All right. He has 9 ball park and no ball club, making it fifty-hfty. We can stand for criticism from a man whose ball club lost 5O4 ball games in five years.
 Connie Mack is a nice old man when the procession has passed. In this regard there is strong bond of sympathy between himself and Ban Johnson. They are both in the good old boat Has-Been, floating down the River of Time to Oblivion"

 N. Y. STOPS SIX
 DAY BIKE RACE

New York, Dec. 6-At 10:45 o'clock last night a man arose in the centre of Madison Square Garden, inside the track upon which the bicycle riders have been treading their six-day mill He raised his arms toward where heaven might have been looking from almost any other place except the Garden, struck the attitude of an ex- horter at 8 Western camp meeting, and beloved in stentorian tones, The whole west side is in darkn ness''
 He did not follow with the asser- ton that the end of the world was at hand That would have sbeen an anti-clirnax after the thrill and fer vor of his first sentence. He simply yelled that the Garden would soon follow the unseenlly example of the west side and that all those unaccus- toned to walk in darkness would be well advised to depart. Everybody did so. There wasn't a sinner in the bunch.
 The riders after a nasty consulta- ton decided that they couldn't do themselves justice in the dark. Not one of them felt that he would be at his best unless he could see where he was going And so the six-day race gave a couple of wfggIes, rolled

 At about 9-45 Madden started some thing in earnest. He sneaked upon the outside and Slashing from the very top of the track down to the rail cut in ahead of the field and was off on a wild taunt- His sinful aim was palpab1y to pf1fer space from his brothers in the field to the extent of one-Ilinth of a mile, one circuit of the track, sometimes known as a lap. In view of the surprise attack which he staged, catching the other riders barely tottering along, his vicious purpose bade fair for a, time to be at tained.
 Frantic spectators and even more frantic trainers shrieked warnings and the comfortable nap of the other thir- teen riders was interrupted. They sped after the flying Madden, but for a time he continued to gain ground and had over half a lap when Oscar Egg and Freddie Hill shot out from the thick of the pack and struck out i in earnest after Madden. His part ner, Gou1let, was summoned to aid l in the desired theft, but GouIIet mad e an imperfect pickup and Hill closed l in on him with Egg at his rear tire i The others drew up gradually and so 1 there was no change in the standing. !

JIMMY WILDE AND SHARKEY IN
 FIGHT TONIGHT

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 6-Jimrny Wilde, Great Britain's rlyweight champion, will make his first Ameri- can appearance here tonight, meeting Jack Sharkey, a rugged New York bantamWeight in a. ten round, no de- cision contest. The match will be staged at the auditorium, which has 8 seating capacity of ten thousand. Indications were that the contest would draw s4o,OOO. Wilde has been guaranteed s11 900. The little Welsh boxing marvel, who does not hesitate to give away ten pounds to opponents, probably will enter the ring weighing about 106 pounds. Sharkey has agreed to scale 116 pounds at p. m. and probably will enter the ring three hours later weighing about 118 pounos.
 Wilde, pale and anaemic in ap- pearance, Is both a boxer and fight CT. He can hit from almost any angle and is a master at the art of feinting with his head and drawing an opponent on, making him miss with the next move.
 The British boxer has been on the ground ten days training for the bout and he Is reported to be in splendid condition. He established training quarters al SuDuTD, anu pldy1nS golf formed a large part of his con- ditioning.
 Sharkey, who has boxed the best bantams in this country, also finished his training here and assured his ad- mirers he would be able to scale the stipulated 116 pounds without weak ening himself. The New Yorker is on the short end of the betting, with Wilde's admirers offering to 1. A few wages of to l also have been reported

WIFE DEAD; FULTON
 MATCH IS OFF

New York, Dec. 6-Jack Curley, manager of Willie Meehan, the heavy weight who holds a referees decision over Jack Dempsey, issued a state nent yesterday denying that Meehan and Fred Fulton are matched to box in Newark on Jan. 12, which an- nouncement was sent out the other day. Curley's statement foI1ows:
 ''I certainly cannot understand the ann nouncement of the Newark Sports mans club in to-day's newspapers of the match between Fred Fulton and Willie Meehan. I feel very sorry for Meehan, inasmuch as business and matchmaking are just now furth- est from his thoughts.
 Willie is speeding to his home in San Francisco where he is due to arrive tomorrow. He is on very sad mission. News reached him here Tuesday afternoon that his wife died after an operation for appendi- citis.
 f'Meehan first heard of her illness Immediately on his arrival two weeks ago. He was terribly upset and I at once cancelled a match he had on upstate He was ready to return home when he received an other wire which was more encour- aging and he was advised to remain here. I then made a match for him with Charley Weinert at Newark and he was going along finely, receiving daily messages assuring him that there was no immediate danger, when the last wire came Tuesday after noon announcing his wife's death.
 ''He immediately left for home. In the meantime he does not want to ne- Sotiate for any matches.

crashing over the rail on top of him. Bob just managed to gain his feet in time and even matters up before the police stopped proceedings.
 "Game Joe" ChoyIniskt was knock ed out by Sharkey, Peter Maher, Kid Garter. and even by Joe Walcott, the Barbadoes Demon, a welterweight. But he owns the distinction Of being the only man outside Of Willard to knock out Jack Johnson and to have hit James J. Jeffries the hardest blow that ring worthy ever received in all his Queensberry conflicts.
 Both Johnson and Jeffries were novices at the time. Johnson was knocked out in the third round. The best that ponderous Jim Jeffries weighing 220 to Choyiniski's 159 could get was draw after twenty rounds of fighting. It was in the tenth round that Choyinis- Xxi slammed a right hook to Jenries mouth afterwards referred to by The Grizzly as "the hardest punch I ever got and that included those from Fitzsimnons. Sharkey, Corbett and every one else.''
