KEARNS THINKS
BIG BOUT WILL Be
HELD IN US. SOON
Champions Manager Ex-
presses Confidence That
Arrangements May Be
Made Quickly.

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. Sack
Kearns, manager for Jack Dempsey,
expressed confidence that in view OF
the attitude of Carpenter and his
manager, Deschamps, there would be
no difficulty in getting together on
the details of the fight plans and
staging it at Tijuana. Mexico, under
the direction of Promoter Coffroth.
Il am glad to hear that Deschamps
is willing to yield a few points on
the division of the purse" said
Kearns, "and feel sure that this can
be arranged TO suit everybody.
"As regards Deschamps statement
that Carpenter will give away
weight, that is just joke. Jack
weighed 1877 when he met Willard.
Carpenter weighs between 1870 and
1876 pounds. The slight difference in
heavyweights means nothing. Ac-
cording to the story,from Paris, they
must think that Jack, the Giant
Killer, weighs 2l7 pounds.
at is true, of course, that Carpen-
tier is leaving his home land, and
undertaking a long trip to meet
Dempsey: but to offset this, if Cof-
froth is willing. l will suggest that
the fight be held on Labor day in
stead Of the Fourth of July. This
will give Carpenter chance to get
used to the change, make his training
As long as he likes and perhaps pick
10 little money in theatrical work
on exhibitions If he wants to.
Besides, think Labor day is a
better fight date than July 4 because
lots of sportsmen want to spend the
Fourth with their families, while they
don't mind being away on Labor
day"
Kearns said he was going to San
Diego today to meet Coffroth.

RESIGNATION OF
CHAIRMAN GIVEN
TO COMMISSION
August Hermann Steps
Down as Head of the
National Base
Ball Body.

Cincinnati, O., Jan. 8.-August
Hermann, for more than Is years
chairman Of the national base BAN
commission, has resigned. His res
ignation, which was presented at
the annual meeting of the commits
sion here today, is to take effect at
the earliest possible date, not later
than the joint meeting of the Ma
tionl and American leagues, called
for February IL, in Chicago.
Made in Writing.
The announcement was made in
written communication addressed to
B. B. Johnson, president of the
American league, and John A.
Heydler, president of the National
league, who with Hermann, COM
pose the commission. Hermann
said he could not serve as head
of the body any longer after~the
joint meeting of the two major
leagues. Nothing was given out at
the close of the executive meeting
to indicate what prompted Herr
mann to tender his resignation. II
had been reported that Heydler had
been instructed by National League
club owners not to vote for the re-
election of Hermann, but Johnson
was known to be friendly to him
and, to desire that he continue at
the head of the commission.
The action by Herrmanny un-
doubtedly came as a big surprise to
his associates on the commission
and certainly to the base ball author
tiles, who were attracted to Gin
cinnati by the meeting.
Advised Against Change.
This was because in his annual
report submitted earlier in the day
and which was approved by the
other members, Hermann strong
1y advised against making any
change or reorganization of the
commission. He based this view
upon the fact that the club owners
were not agreed on what should
be done and because a United States
court decision in the Baltimore Fed
eral League Club suit had held the
commission illegal.
John E. Bruce of Cincinnati, sec
retary-treasurer of the base ball
commission, announced that he did
not wish to serve in that office
if Hermann was not returned as
chairman.
Outside Of minor cases the COM
mission confined itself to dis
cussion of alleged base ball gam
bling. 1t was said that these charges
would be followed up in a thorough
manner and, threshed out to the
satisfaction of base ball public.
The championship season i'll the
American league will open on We'd
nesday. April IA, the date already
chosen by the National league. The
old schedule of 154 games will be
played in each league, the season
closing on Sunday, October ;. This
was announced by President John
son before he, with President Heyd-
Ter, left Cincinnati tonight for Chi
cago. On Saturday the two officials
will' leave together for Louisiana,
where they will combine the duties
of schedule-ma king with the pleas
ure of bear hunting.
