Down in the Alley
Sherwood worked out this theory to
his owp satisfaction last winter while
down at Pinehurst for rest up from
a session of pneumonia and La Belle
Grippe and few other things. -.
There is an immense "back yard
there called buffers Alley" or some
thing of the sort, intended solely for
the golfers and practice shots. Fifty
fans can bat away there without doing
any particular damage to each other
Sherwood took out a lot of time there
and says it was the first real chance he
had had to practice shots on theory and
work it all out.

fine he says. and figures that his very.

the result. That snappy wrist work is

LEGION. BETS ON
DEMPSEY DEFEAT
FL Paso Post Brands Champion
a "SIacker" and Appropriates
$25 to Wager on Carpenter
PROMOTERS DISCUSS PLANS

EI Paso, Tex, Jan. 10.---Jack Demp-
sey. worlds heavyweight champion,
was charged with having apparently
skulked in hiding from the draft board"
during the late war, and Georges Car
pentier. his French rival for cham
pionship honors. was made Il life hon
orary member of the post at meeting
of the Ell Paso post of the American
Legion held here last night.
The local post also appropriated S25
to be wagered on Carpenter in his
coming fight with Dempsey.
Dempsey was branded Stacker
by Denver post of the American
Legion yesterday.
San Diego, Calf, Ian. 10.-Jacll
and James W. Coffroth, promoter, who
met here to discuss plans for the pro-
posed match between Dempsey and
Georges Carpenter for the world S
heavyweight championship, planned to-
day to visit Tia Juana, Lower Califor-
mia, after having given local followers
of boxing something to worry about.
This was Il suggestion that the con
test might not be staged at Tia Juana
| thirteen miles south of here. Kearns
, announced last night that he still had
under consideration an offer by Will
liam Fox, New York motion picture
magnate of $550,000 for the match.
Later San Francisco advices said Il let
ter from Coffroth published there said
that if his bid of $400. 900 for the match
was accepted he might stage the con
test somewhere other than at Tia Juana.
Such an attraction would draw in New
Jersey, Connecticut and Baltimore.
The fans found some comfort, how
ever, in Kearns's statement that he
preferred to give Coffroth an oppor
tunity of staging the match, even at q
sacrifice of "a few thousand dollars.
and in Coffroth's, assurance that Tia
Juana was the place he had in mind
| for the affair.

SO much money in the world.
At an Eastern League monthly meet

ject of discussion by the magnates when
Jesse Hendler, part owner of the Tren-
ton franchise, with Joie Manz, said
that he was going into the business
of booking basketball players. This
came about as the result of the con.
vcrsation of Il manager, who said in the
dressing room the other night that q
certain player was figuring how he
could play six nights the next week in
leagues hundreds of miles apart.
Bill Myers, of De Neri, was on his
feet. Bill always has something good
for the newspapers. He said that there
was no use in beittling Mr. Hendler' s
idea, for there was visitor in the
meeting who already was in the basket
ball booking business.
He introduced Frank Morgenweck,
who was new to some, but was playing
the game years before many of those
present knew the shape of ball.
Mr.. Morgenweck is brother of the
famous Billy, of Camden, who knows
more about basketball and the rules
than the old game itself. Frank ex-
plained that he had Marty Friedman

to play basketball for him when and

tional Commission must be man in
whom the sixteen club owners place
implicit confidence and one who can
hand down impartial decisions in the
many cases which como before him.
This. does not mean that there has
been partiality in the past or any
thing like that. 1t means that the
new man must pass the acid test be-

there should be no protest on any
thing he does.
The committee is seriously con-
sidering two men for the place,
neither of whom is connected with
either league. These men have proved
their executive ability and will be
acceptable if they consent to serve.
However, before any definite offer is
made the term of Office must be
agreed upon and the salary fixed.
Then something can be done.
