RIBBONS CLOUT
 KNICKERBOCKERS
 IN ROUGH GAMIE

In a game marked by rough play ing the Blue Ribbons took the Knick- erbockers of New York into camp & Colonial hall last night by 25 to 24. II was such an exciting contest that the big crowd of fans made a lot ot noise. Wright was in great form for the Ribbons. The veteran threw three goals and also tossed one from the foul line. Schwab and Ashme cad also proved good point getters.
 Acker of the Knickerbockers came in for some criticism because of his attempts to push the Ribbon players off the floor. He spent so much time in rough work that he did not make a point Wassmer, formerly of An sonia, was the leading scorer for the visitors. He rang up three goals and one foul Mike Smolick was an ac- curate foul tosser for the visitors getting i've through the netting.
 It was announced to the crowd that the Ribbons have entered the Eastern league and will play the Reading, Pa, team next Sunday af- ternoon at Colonial hall. This call. ed for loud applause.

 Because of the additional week the

Frank Moran Will
 Retire From Ring
Lambasting He Took From Fred Fulton Marked Edd oI His Career-H1s Gameness Admired By Fans and
 He Made Fortune During Career

New York, Jan. z4--Frank Moran, the Lion Heart of the ring, fought his last fight Monday night when he was a chopping block for Fred Fulton. The terrible 1ambasting he took from the cutting, slashing gloves of his tall antag onist will lay him up for many weeks.
 The punching he took around his sorrel-topped dome will probably make him feel like an animated cuckoo clock for quite some time. In fact, he was so badly in need of re- pairs yesterday his friends begged him to go to a hospital, but he re- fused. The courageous fighter realiz- ed his crushing defeat meant his exit from the battlefield. unless he re- mained as one of the many second raters. Therefore came the report that he was finished with the game that brought him fortune and fame.
 This fight removed him from ever being considered as a formidable rival to Jack Dempsey, a goal he sought and the loss of which hasten ed his retirement. It stamped Moran. however, as being one of the most courageous fighters that ever pulled ! on g. glove.
 That fight practically put the finish 1 ing touches to Toms career. Follow | ing the dope of the past the pummel- ing Moran received at Fulton's hands

ended Moran's activities in the ring. At that Moran can have the satisfac- ton of knowing he drew more money in his scrapping life than most of his profession. And to increase his joy he can credit his gameness for his success, for Moran never fooled him. self by believing he could box.
 At first glance Fulton's showing didn't boost his stock as a prospective rival of Jack Dempsey. Stfu analyz- ing the fight one must consider the tall plasterer fought the gamest man in fight circles. Fulton is the-oniy man that ever actually knocked Mo- ran out and that was due to the SiIn- pie fact that Moran wasn't in fit shape The technical knockout of Mo- ran by Jim Savage was caused by ltMoran's both eyes being closed De- spite this tremendous handicap h.

Detroit Tigers Will Take Biggest Squad SOutIl And Expect To Win American League
 Pennant If Pitchers Do Well

New York, Jan. 14-Though Hughte Jennings, manager of the De- trott club. contemplates standing pat on his 1919 regulars next season, the Detroit management has announced that it will take the biggest batch of players to it's Macon training camp next spring that ever has assembled under a Tiger banner. Twenty-nine players are booked to take the Tiger training Jaunt, and several more names may be added to the Detroit roster if Frank Navin can put over a few more Ideals.
 All Of the 1919 Tigers except two pitchers have been retained. Rudy Kallio, who showed some signs of de- veloping into a real find early in 1918, has been sent to Portland In the Pacific Coast League, and George Cunningham will be placed with a minor league club during the winter. Cunnfn gham has been a. distinct dis appointment in Jungletown. George was the leading pitcher of the South ern Association when Detroit bought him from Chattanooga four years ago, but he never showed anything in Detroit, though Jennings has given him all kinds of chances to mal1a good.
 Of the ten new men to be tried by the Tigers next spring three are infielders, two are catchers and five are pitchers With four outhelders hitting better than 300 last season. the Detroit club does not think il necessary to pay the expenses of any young fly chasers to Macon.
 Ten years have elapsed since De- troit last won a championship. but despite C1eveland's boasts of it's in vincaDiihy and the strengthening o1 the Yankees by the purchase of Babe Ruth the pennant bee is buzzing l louder in Detroit this winter than il
 has for several winters.

The latter sailed several weeks ago with thousands o1 foreign posters. printed in this coun- try, and in all probability by this time Norway is getting an idea of Aneri- can publicity methods and appears much like country town here on the eve of the annual visit of the circus : Mclean has the advantage of youth for he Is 25 years old, while Mathie- son is 32. The latter, however, has the longer stroke when skating at tor speed for his stride measures 40 feet to McLean's 36. The Norwegian has always claimed that the small tracks In this country hampered his long stroke and that he could do much faster work on the larger courses o1 his own city. His claim is borne ou to some extent by the records whicf show that Mathi eson holds the world records for the following distances

TEX RICHARD IN ALLIANCE WITH
 6. 3, COCHRAN

New York, Jan. fl When Tex Rickard recently was asked if he had put in bid or intended to put in a bid for the Dempsey-Carpentie match, the famous promoter said that he was sitting still and watch ing developments. That was right, for just at present there is little for Tex to do. The business just now best can be handled by .. B. Cochran. On good authority it was learned yesterday that the greatest American boxing promoter and the greatest British f1stic impressario have been in secret alliance and are awaiting the proper time to make their part nersfip and s--r plans known.
 There az no two men in the world better qualified to direct such a tre- mendous sporting enterprise. In fact the general opinion has been that it would require just such a combina- ton to make for the success of the bout Meanwhile the sporting world must wait until official copf1rmatioa comes from Rickard and Cochran. In all probability it will not be forth coming until early next month.

 "My contract with Carpenter calls for the pawn ent of a certain sum be- fore February I cab1ed my bankers to make the promised payment in ad- vance," Cochran says.
 He also emphatica1ly denies that he had said: Dempsey had better sign up Immediately, because Carpentief might be defeated by some one else. .'

 T. To inculcate in the public mind a true appreciation of the manly science of boxing; Its utility as a means of self-defence; its usefulness as a builder of health; its invaluable worth in the development of self pre- hance, self-control and good charac- ter.
 "2. To perpetuate boxing as the foremost sport in the world, and tc surround it with such safeguards as to warrant unreserved public con-

 Kearns recounted Dempsey's ser vices as a. riveter in Philadelphia and Seattle ship yards and added:
 'fHe also was appearing in ftstte contests at benefits for the different war charities. By this means approx imately s100, 900 was raised for the various war funds"
 Dempsey paid his travelling expenses and fought without remuneration, Kearns said, and frequently was | 'fbroke'' as a consequence. t1Those who are charging Dempsey with being a Stacker because he worked in the ship yard and helped to
 raise nearly $1o0,0o0 for the various war charities" the statement con- c1uded, "are s1nudging the reputation of every other exempted man who
