Yankees Want TooMuch Coin To ShoU Babe

New Orleans, December 4. (Special.) - Southern league club owners who want to show Babe" Ruth, champion home run hitter and undoubtedly the biggest drawing card the na- tional game has ever known, will do so at tremendous price.
 To permit baseball fans of New Or leans and other southern cities to see the great bambino in action the mag nate has been gently, but firmly, mo- tihed he must be prepared to turn over S5 per cent of the gate receipts to Messrs. Huston and Ruppert, employ CTS of the great Babe"
 Major league scouts looking after exhibition games for the Yankees are now negotiating with club owners. It is likely that several may refuse to rav the exorbitant figure demanded. and should they do so, Babe" will not appear.
 Messrs. Huston and Ruppert, accord ing to semi-official information hand ed the States, claim that since the Boston Red Sox and Giants always exacted S5 per cent from the magnates for exhibition games. they are en- titled to the same 'cut.-
 The question of permitting Babe" to destroy Southern league fences un- der the terms offered by Ruppert and Huston may be taken up at the annual meeting on December IS. Several mag mates have definitely notified Scout Connery and f'Bobby' GillSs that Babe isn't going to be seen in ac- tion under the conditions named, and there is chance that others may fol- low suit

TO INVESTIGATE WHY MOORE AND TREMAINE
 CALLED OFF BATTLE

Cleveland, O.. December 4.-A special meeting of the Cleveland boxing comm ission has been called for Monday afternoon to investi- gate why Pal Moore of Memphis and Carl Trcmaine of Cleveland, banfamweights, violated the rules last Thursday by weighing in at n private gymnasium instead of at the Central Athletic club, before nm inspector of the commission.
 It was intfmated by members of the commission today that boxers in the stables of Tommy Walsh and Jimmy Dunn, managers respectively of the two boys, probabI ywouId be disbarred from appearing here for the remainder of the season. If this is done, 1t is likely they also will be prohibited from boxing in the state.
 Moore and Tremafne were to have boxed here Thursday night, hut because Tremaine was one pound over the stipulated no pounds, Moore refused to go on and the bout was cancelled.

Boorde Will Me e f Brady. At he B. A.7C.,

An all-star boxing entertain ment will be staged by the Bir- mingham Atheltic club on the night of Wednesday, December Is, when at least three stellar bouts will be billed. The main event will be 10-round clash between Freddie Boorde and Jack Brady.
 Boorde and Brady have met before. when Brady obtained the decision at the end of ten rounds of fast and furious milling. Boorde is anxious to get another lcrack at Brady and he is looking for ward to the bout of the 18th with extreme eagerness
 Brady has fully recovered from the flu" and is fast whipping himself back into fighting shape He states that when the day of December 15 dawns he will be in splendid trim for the clash with Boorde
 The semi- finals bout will be between Dewitt Alfred and Johnny Russo and the affair between these two promises to lbe little short of the big affair in matter of excellence and interest
 Russo is in New Orleans at present, where, as he writes, he has been work ing out with Ashton DonZa and other notables in the Crescent City boxing cir fcles
 Alfred has been taken under the wing by Tommy TompSins, who claims that he has the best little find of them all in the I3essen1er boy. Alfred is exceed ingly fast for a youth of his years and ,he can either give or take healthy wall sop. He is a. dangerous foe for any lfeatherweight and Johnny Russo will have to look to his laurels Wednesday night December Is.
 These two bouts themselves combine four of the brightest local stars, Fred die Boorde, a demon for punishment and one who loves fighting for the mere lust of battle Jack Brady, finished product of the ring. and speed mer- chant supreme: Dewitt Alfred, noted for the swiftness and accuracy Of his punch, and Johnny Russo, best remem- bored as the lad who folds his arms, sticks out hiE chin and lets his opponent take a few inquiring taps at his map be- fore again covering his face.
 In addition to these two bouts Tommy Tompkins expects to arrange one or two preliminary events that will be hum dingerS.

was lost because of the overwhelming demand of sport lovers for the re- establishment of the fistic game. But now. feeling perhaps that there is some truth in stories that the new governor is opposed to boxing, they have re- newed their fight in most aggressive fashion. They are using every effort within their power to stir up storm of protest against boxing so as to create the belief in the minds of the governor and the legislators that box ing is brutal sport
 THEY MAY SUCCEED
 Possibly they will succeed; perhaps Governor Miller really is opposed to boxing, and will harken to the ''re- formers" story and will ask the legfs- lature to back him up in a repeal. In that case, boxing may come to itS death without fair trial--without having received a square deal from anyone in- volved.
 But if Governor Miller wants to play square with the legions-and yet moro legions-in New York state who like boxing and love the game for it's own sake, he will go little slow in asking or moving for repeal He will wait a while-a few months at least--give the fight game his official supervision and then determine it's future. If he adopts that course, it is my confident belief that Miller. instead of asking for the repeal of the fight law, will sanction the existence of the game.

CORNELLIANSi ABOUT READY " FOR BIG RAGE

Ithaca, December 4.-(Spe- cial. )-With about a week of practice on their home course before they leave for New York to sail for England on. Decem- Der IA, the Cornell cross coun- try squad is approaching the climax of long seasons train ing in special preparation in the sort of running they will ex- perience when they meet the crack athletes of Oxford and Cambridge on the Thames Hare and Hounds Club course at Rochampton, England, De- cember 27.
 When Jack Moakiey looked about for a steeplechase course that was reason ably close at hand he found that the cavalry unit of the reserve officers train- ing corp at the University had provided just what he needed. The cavalrymen, in their drills, have been using a part of alumni field, Cornell's big athletic tract east of the campus
 SOME TOUGH BARRIERS
 They had erected stiles four feet high for practice in jumping, and the con stant tramping of their horses had plowed up the ground, making it rough and uneven. Nearby, too, were found hedges four feet high, ditches eight feet wide and water jumps. Coach Moakley had no difficulty in laying out good steeplechase course with such natural and artificial obstacles, and the other day he added another tough one to the squads training, jog up Kite Hill, one of the isteepest and highest eminences hereabouts The only path leading to the summit of this hill is just wide enough for one man to use. and hence the squad must go up it in single file. The result has been great deal of jockeying, cali- ing for good headwork, so that the run- ners may get in good position when this climb begins.
 COMPETITION KEEN
 Competition for places on the team continues keen, and it is not likely that the full team of seven men which is to make the trip will be known until just before the squad starts for New York. Based on their showing all season and the form they are now displaying, It is considered certain that the five men who scored CornelPs victory in the inter collegiate cross-country run at New Ha- ven, November 20, will run for the Red and White against the light and dark Blues of Britain. These men are T. .. McDermott, the greatest distance run ner at Cornell; N. P. Brown, R. E. Brown, Fl. " Bosnal and G. G. Irish.

 showing in recent weeks has won hir

Looking over pugi1istfc records, who happens to De our own Tommy Tompkins, erstwhile boxing in- structor at the Birmingham Ath- letic club.
 According to the records, Tommy has fought some mighty good boys during his career. If he still had the eyes which are so essential in boxing, there is no doubt that Tommy would still be in the swim md would he raIing off some tidy sums.
 SOME OF TOMMY'S MOST
 IMPORTANT BATTLES
 Among the most important fights Tommy has participated in are as given below. Those with Augie Rather, whom he fought seven times, three times as mn amateur and four as professional, are among the most important. He won three and lost four of his bouts with Rather, who, at present, is : considered by many critics to be one of the logical contcnders for the middleweight crown, now being worn by Johnny Wilson, who has been dubbed the .scheese cham pfOn."
 TOmplins also fought Jeff Smith twice. when the latter was fighting in the welterweight class. Smith recently fought whirlwind fight with MiI&e ODowd at Madison Square Garden in New York. Smith won decision over Tommy once md got n draw in the other meet ing between the two.
 Other nOtables Tommy has fought and who are now in the fmelight are Marty Cross, whom he met twice; Johnny Howard, four times; Battling Hurley, Har- lem Tommy Murphy, Leech Cross, Allie Mack, Eddie Nugent, Barney Adafr, Harlem Eddie Kelly, Fight

legalized it. But report has 1t hat even before the great sport has had a fair chahce it is to be legalized out of existence.
 Ever since election day the story has been out that Nathan L. Miller, the new governor. will ask the legislature to repeal the law which has provided sport and entertainment for countless thousands.
 MILLER OPPOSES BOXING
 Miller has not gone on record as op- posed to boxing. Nor has he declared he was for it. He has been absilutely non- -committal on the subject up to the present. But those who are close to him have passed out the tip that he thinks New York state can get along very nicely without boxing law.
 It may be that such information dis persers are wrong. Miller may not wage war on boxing. He may decide to countenance the sport for some months at least, and give it a real chance.
 Certainly if the new governor wishes to play a fair game with the sport fans of the state, he will not kill the boxing law-or ask its death-before it has had real test under his admin lolidtiOH. SNeIy pOuI HdS been con- ducted cleanly. honorably and fairly There has been no brutality--no dis gusting exhibitions.
 NO BRUTAL FIGHTS
 Of course. in some of the bouts men have been battered up little hit their injuries have healed In a few days and left no after effects. For every man who has been marked up in a ring in New York state since the fight game came back. dozen men have been marked even worse in football in the very same state. Wrestling bouts may not mark up the athletes. but the per- formers have suffered as much wear and tear upon their systems as have any of the boxers. Hockey and base- ball have brought about injuries and deaths in the state. No opposition has been raised to those sports. Why single out boxing?
 PERFORMERS" ANTAGONISTIC
 A certain reform element has been antagonistic to boxing for years It fought stoutly to prevent the return of boxing to the Empire State. It's battle
